Chapter 745: Chapter 460: Understanding [5]

Inside the room.

Because no more wood had been added, and because Hu Qi had drawn out flames, the remaining charcoal burned out even faster.

As a result, the fire in the stove had already died down.

Only a faint red glow remained within.

The light in the room dimmed considerably as well.

Hu Qi stood where he was.

A Fireball roiled in his palm.

He could clearly sense the intense heat contained within the Fireball.

Yet his palm was completely unburned.

This was the power of an Arsonist.

It meant having the ability to manipulate any external flame for one’s own use.

Of course, this only referred to ordinary flames.

Flames released by other Professionals, or those containing Extraordinary Traits, could not be controlled.

Additionally, there was an upper limit to the total amount of fire that could be controlled. Exceeding that limit would result in a loss of control.

Furthermore, one could not completely ignore fire damage. They were only immune to burns from the flames they controlled, and they had a higher resistance to fire damage compared to ordinary people.

It could be said that while a Sequence Nine Professional had already stepped into the Extraordinary realm, they had, after all, only just begun.

There were quite a few weaknesses.

As long as a Professional of the Arsonist Sequence was in a place with no fire source, they weren’t much stronger than an ordinary person.

However, this weakness would cease to exist as one advanced through the Arsonist Sequence.

According to Ired, this was basically the case for other Professionals as well.

Professionals grew stronger as they advanced through the Sequences.

If an ordinary person wanted to become a Professional, it wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight, even if they obtained information about the Professional path and its cultivation methods.

They still needed to learn a vast amount of esoteric knowledge. At the very least, they had to have a fundamental understanding of their own Professional path.

Even at the fastest pace, it would require several years of preparation.

Take Ired, for example. After he obtained the Fire Torturer advancement path, he spent about three years preparing. He also spent a large sum of money on Magic Potions for the ritual and had to wait for a breakthrough in his Meditation Method to meet the requirements.

Only then did he successfully advance to the Arsonist Sequence.

At this moment, Hu Qi could clearly perceive that the longer the flame in his palm persisted, a certain power within his body was being constantly consumed.

It wasn’t an Extraordinary Trait, but something else entirely.

For ordinary people, or even Professionals like Ired, observing this power was nearly impossible.

But Hu Qi was different.

Although he was limited by the suppression of this world’s rules, his consciousness couldn’t even be projected outward.

But that still couldn’t change his fundamental nature as a True God.

The Power of Rules wasn’t as strict when it came to changes within his own body.

Now, under his observation, this power was somewhat similar to Inner Energy.

But it was also slightly different.

From the perspective of his Divine Soul Power at a microscopic level, these things were like tiny particles. He had the feeling that they were alive.

This thing felt somewhat familiar to him.

‘This is actually Spirituality?’

A look of surprise flashed across Hu Qi’s face.

From his previous questioning of Ired, he had obtained information regarding Spirituality.

He had originally thought it was just a coincidental naming.

But now, it was clearly the exact same thing.

In this world’s esoteric knowledge, Spirituality was a consumable resource.

Extraordinary Traits, on the other hand, directly determined a Transcendent’s Sequence (Profession) and specific Abilities, such as Flame Manipulation, Divination, Transformation, and so on.

The Extraordinary Traits of different Sequences could conflict or converge, similar to the rules of adjacent pathways.

Extraordinary Traits could only be obtained by consuming Magic Potions and advancing in Sequence.

They possessed exclusivity and corrupting properties; absorbing too much would lead to losing control or going mad.

Furthermore, according to Ired, he had heard that some High Tier Extraordinary Traits might even contain Divinity or self-awareness.

Besides that, he hadn’t felt anything before, perhaps because of the suppression of the rules. But now things were different.

After using the Heaven-Seizing Technique to seize the Extraordinary Traits from Ired’s body and stepping into the Extraordinary realm himself, Hu Qi could suddenly perceive that the surrounding world was filled with a dense Spirituality.

The concentration was simply astonishing.

He was no stranger to Spirituality.

It could be said to be one of the components of the Sea of Sumeru.

The energy it contained was far beyond what the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy in those other worlds could compare to.

The two weren’t on the same level at all.

Spirituality had a higher energy level and was also much more difficult to control.

In this world, even a Sequence Nine, the lowest-level Professional, could condense Spirituality within their body.

It was simply incredible.

One could only say that this was to be expected of a Ten-star Novel World.

‘Could this world be related to the Great Thousand World?’

A glint flashed in Hu Qi’s eyes.

The thought rose in his mind.

The events unfolding in this novel world he had traveled to had overturned all his previous understanding.

This level of power was so great that even Hu Qi couldn’t help but be somewhat alarmed.

‘Extraordinary Traits, Spirituality, Professional Sequences…’

Hu Qi licked the corner of his mouth.

A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he was becoming more and more interested in this world.

Thinking of this, a thought struck him.

“Crimson!”

The next second, a panel appeared.

[Owner: Hu Qi (Elu Goth)]

[Status: Abnormal △]

[Sequence Nine: Arsonist △ (Ability: Flame Manipulation, partial immunity to fire damage)]

The panel had changed somewhat compared to before.
