Liu Guanfeng looked at the laughing Magma Tiger and nodded, saying, "I have to admit, your Magma is indeed impressive."
"Since you know how powerful I am, you should retreat. Come back when you are ready to take something from me."
"Even though you are strong, I haven't lost yet, right? Let me try again, Little Guy." Liu Guanfeng swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji, wrapping it tightly with Chaotic Qi before charging at Magma Tiger once more.
At this moment, Magma Tiger was still spewing a large number of fireballs from its mouth. Liu Guanfeng waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji to deflect the fireballs one by one. This time, Liu Guanfeng paid special attention to the Chaotic Qi on the Fang Tian Hua Ji, so he continuously replenished it as he defended against the fireballs. As a result, the Chaotic Qi on the Fang Tian Hua Ji remained abundant.
When Liu Guanfeng swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji towards Magma Tiger, he infused it with even more Chaotic Qi. Magma Tiger seemed to sense the danger and thickened its Magma armor.
Liu Guanfeng aimed the tip of the Fang Tian Hua Ji directly at Magma Tiger and thrust it downwards. Due to the effect of Chaotic Qi, before the tip even touched Magma Tiger, the Chaotic Qi had already pierced through.
Magma Tiger immediately wrapped itself around the Fang Tian Hua Ji with Magma, which quickly enveloped Liu Guanfeng as it surged up along the weapon. Fortunately, with the protection of Chaos Shield, his life was temporarily safe. What Liu Guanfeng hoped for most was to break through that layer of Magma on Magma Tiger.
Thus, Liu Guanfeng did not dare to relax for a moment. He continuously thrust down with the Fang Tian Hua Ji and could clearly feel that it had already penetrated into Magma Tiger's Magma. Just then, Liu Guanfeng forcefully jerked the Fang Tian Hua Ji upward, prying off a piece of Magma about the size of a basin from Magma Tiger's body.
Suddenly, the Magma on Magma Tiger erupted and sent Liu Guanfeng flying far away. He stabilized himself after being thrown seven or eight meters away. Soon after, Magma Tiger retracted its flames. When the flames disappeared from its body, Liu Guanfeng saw a basin-sized gap appear on its back while other areas remained covered in Magma.
However, this gap on Magma Tiger's body could not heal. Seeing this, Liu Guanfeng realized he had found an opportunity; this spot was definitely its weakest point.
With such a significant flaw, Liu Guanfeng would not give up. He aimed for that weak spot and prepared to continue fighting with his Fang Tian Hua Ji. At that moment, Magma Tiger spoke again, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't fight anymore."
Upon hearing this from Magma Tiger, Liu Guanfeng planted his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the ground and asked while pointing at it, "What else do you want to say?"
"I am here under orders from the Four Sacred Beasts to guard these items and train. The Four Sacred Beasts once told me that as long as you can defeat me, you can take what is inside. Although I have not been defeated by you yet, you have already broken through my defensive Magma shield. I believe it is only a matter of time before you win against me. Therefore, I will no longer fight; if you want something, just take it yourself."
Liu Guanfeng was taken aback by what Magma Tiger said: "What did you say?"
"I said if you want something, go get it yourself. They're all in my cave."
"Are you really going to let me in?"
"What else can I do? I can't beat you. If I fight and get hurt again, that wouldn't be good. The piece of Magma armor you knocked off won't be repaired for at least three to five years," Magma Tiger said, shaking his head.
"Magma Tiger, can I cultivate here for a while?"
"Of course, after you defeat me, you can take whatever you want at any time. It's also your freedom to cultivate here. Don't worry, no magical beasts will appear on my mountain. Just focus on your training. Do you have any other questions?" Seeing Liu Guanfeng still looking confused, Magma Tiger prepared to answer his questions.
"I do have some questions. Why did all the magical beasts attack me fiercely when I entered this Demon Tomb? Even the herbivorous ones were the same."
"These are the tricks of the Four Sacred Beasts. This Demon Tomb is filled with various pheromones, and as you know, magical beasts become extremely aggressive when under their influence."
"Then why didn't you?"
"Me? The temperature on my mountain is too high; those pheromones can't reach me here."
"Then why didn't you fight me just now?"
"The Four Sacred Beasts sent me here just to guard the cave entrance, and the first one to arrive here was their disciple. I only needed to help him train. Besides, you've already knocked off a piece of my armor; if we fought and you grabbed that spot, I wouldn't stand a chance of winning. So I figured you could defeat me, and there was no need for me to fight back. Also, just repairing that piece will keep me busy for several years; if you knock off a few more pieces, I won't have to do anything else in my next life."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, thinking to himself: This magical beast isn't low on intelligence. "So how did you end up here?"
A statement from Liu Guanfeng suddenly plunged Magma Tiger into sorrow: "I have known the Four Sacred Beasts for over two hundred years. Back then, I was just a newly born Flame Tiger. However, because I am a mutated Flame Tiger, I was closely watched by my clan shortly after my birth, and I also became a target for humans and enemies. That day, our group went out hunting while our lair was attacked by three different tribal groups. I narrowly escaped because I was playing outside, but they meticulously hunted me down.
I ran desperately and was eventually caught by more than twenty hunters. At that moment, the White Tiger among the Four Sacred Beasts happened to pass by and saved me. After that, I stayed by the side of Zhuque and never left her alchemy room. Sometimes, Xuanwu would come to find me to help him refine special ores.
A year ago, the Four Sacred Beasts told me they found a new place for me, so I came here. They assigned me the task of guarding this cave, and that's how it is."
"Do you want to go outside?"
Magma Tiger shook his head: "I don't plan to go out yet. It's great here; not only is there plenty of food, but the volcano is also very suitable for my cultivation. I won't go anywhere else unless I become a divine beast."
"Then my cultivation here won't influence you, right?"
"Of course not. By the way, I have something else to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I think I saw you use magic just now. Isn't it said that in Knight's Continent humans can't use magic? How can you use it?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head: "I don't know either; maybe it's because I can sense the movement of the surrounding elements."
"You can sense the elements moving?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "Yes, when I was on the fourth floor, I almost got killed by that Little Guy below. It was at that moment that I suddenly could feel the movement of the elements. After rearranging these elements, I could release magic."
Liu Guanfeng's magic release was no different from that of magical beasts. Seeing Liu Guanfeng speak like this, Magma Tiger couldn't help but admire Liu Guanfeng's good fortune.
Magma Tiger nodded and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Then you can cultivate here. I'm going to the volcano. If you want to get something, just go in directly."
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"What do you need help with?"
"Can you create a few fireballs like the ones you use?"
"What do you need those for?"
"Just make a few for me, and you'll know when the time comes."
"Alright, how many do you need?"
"Ten will be enough."
Magma Tiger immediately opened its mouth and spat out fireballs of various sizes. These fireballs slowly flew towards Liu Guanfeng, who used the tip of his Fang Tian Hua Ji to pierce through them. Chaotic Qi instantly enveloped the fireballs as they connected to Liu Guanfeng's body through a line formed by Chaotic Qi. "Thank you."
"I'm going to replenish my armor now. You don't need to come looking for me when you leave," said Magma Tiger, and then a red light shot straight towards the volcano's summit.
Liu Guanfeng found a relatively flat spot and sat down again. He needed to understand why Magma Tiger's fireballs were more powerful than others.
So, Liu Guanfeng closed his eyes and carefully experienced the Magma Fireball that Magma Tiger had given him. At that moment, in his consciousness, a Magma Fireball was being decomposed. Liu Guanfeng observed the decomposition process and the elemental ratios produced from it closely.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng slowly realized why the Power of the Magma Fireball was stronger than that of a regular fireball. The Magma Fireball not only contained fire elements but also primarily consisted of Earth Element. Under the scorching heat of the fire element, the temperature of these Earth Elements increased. Therefore, when a person was attacked, they suffered damage not only from the fire element but also from the high-temperature earth fragments that remained even after extinguishing the flames on the Magma.
After decomposing three Magma Fireballs, Liu Guanfeng began to learn how to create them. However, after making over ten attempts and failing each time, he started to decompose the regular fireballs below. After breaking down two more fireballs, he tried making Magma Fireballs again, ultimately decomposing all ten of them.
Finally, Liu Guanfeng understood how to create them. He began crafting the Magma Fireball by using both fire elements and Earth Element together. When he successfully formed an earth ball, it contained a large amount of fire element inside. Subsequently, Liu Guanfeng wrapped a layer of fire element around the outside of the earth ball.
Liu Guanfeng forcefully threw his self-made Magma ball outward, and the fireball flew far away. To test the Power of his Magma Fireball, Liu Guanfeng slowly walked down to the foot of the mountain and threw a fireball onto the ground.
The fireball created a deep pit about three meters wide in the ground. Liu Guanfeng looked at this deep pit and nodded in satisfaction with his performance.
Since he could indeed create Magma Fireballs now, Liu Guanfeng decided not to practice here any longer. At this point, he had been cultivating on this volcano for seven days.
However, these seven days were well worth it; at least he understood the basic structure of Magma. With this foundation, he might learn many corresponding spells in the future.
At that moment, atop the volcano's crater, the Magma Tiger watched Liu Guanfeng throw his Magma Fireball in astonishment and then slowly nodded. No wonder the Four Sacred Beasts took notice of this kid; his comprehension was indeed remarkable. In just seven days, he managed to master the Magma Fireball technique. It seemed this person had great potential; I should continue repairing my armor. With that thought, the Magma Tiger turned and jumped back into the Magma.
Liu Guanfeng stepped up towards the mountain and when he reached three-quarters of the way up, he discovered a huge cave from which hot winds were surging out.
Liu Guanfeng strode into the cave. Once inside, he felt that the temperature around him had noticeably increased; it was likely around sixty degrees Celsius. Liu Guanfeng looked around and nodded: "Not bad at all for a sauna here."
