Bab 109: Insane Talent 1

Dante kept everything Hao Donglei said in mind and watched the older man's broad back as he walked away to handle his own duties. He then sighed and moved to the practice area, choosing to sit down at one of the tables to begin observing the techniques he had been given.

He first opened the Inferno Ascension technique and read the simple one-page mantra that outlined the technique.

"In the heart's crucible, where life's ember gleams,

I weave the dance of flames, as in the poet's dreams.

From Inferno's depths, my spirit takes its flight,

Harnessing hell's fire, in darkness and in light.

With each breath, I draw the essence of the abyss,

Life's energy, a thread through realms of fiery bliss.

I tread the path that Dante knew so well,

Ascending through the inferno, breaking every spell.

My body a vessel, my soul a burning pyre,

I gather Internal Force, an alchemical fire.
