บท 24: Fireball
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Dong Xi heard Wang Ying's words, she also felt that she was right. Among the three spirit roots, her fire spirit root value was higher. Therefore, it should be easier to learn the fireball technique. Moreover, the fireball technique was an attack technique. If she encountered any trouble in the future, even if she could not defeat her foes, she could still attack and then escape.
Dong Xi nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."
Wang Ying immediately taught the fireball technique to Dong Xi. Then, she very responsibly and seriously taught Dong Xi how to form the seal and how to draw out the fire spirit essence. Although Dong Xi understood, she was still very confused. But now, the three spiritual Qi had all turned into a ball of purple spiritual Qi. How was she going to separate the fire spiritual Qi?
Wang Ying looked at Dong Xi's wide-open eyes. She had a cute and silly look on her face. Perhaps this little girl did not really understand what she was saying. This was normal. They were not geniuses, so it was impossible for them to learn it in a short time. This was especially so for new disciples. It was natural for them to learn it a few more times.
Wang Ying could not help but pinch Dong Xi's face when she saw how cute he was. She said gently, "You guys probably don't understand, but it's okay. Try it, you'll slowly find the feeling."
Dong Xi was a little embarrassed. She was already 18 years old, but she was living in the body of a 10-year-old, and her face had to be pinched. This feeling was really uncomfortable. However, when she saw the encouraging smile on Wang Ying's face, Dong Xi followed her movements and began to form hand seals. In the end, she saw Wang Ying draw out the fire spiritual essence, and a ball of fire condensed in her palm.
Dong Xi did not know how to separate the fire spiritual Qi from the purple spiritual Qi. In the end, she simply drew out a little bit of the purple spiritual Qi. A small flame also appeared in Dong Xi's palm and then disappeared. Wang Ying saw the flame quickly disappear in Dong Xi's palm. Her eyes were a little surprised and she encouraged Dong Xi.
"Not bad. You're able to make fire appear on your first try. This is considered a very good result. Let's try again."
Dong Xi knew very well that the fire had disappeared after appearing for a while only because she had drawn out too little spiritual Qi. If she had drawn out more, the fire would have lasted longer. Dong Xi sensed a gaze on her and turned around to see that it was the tall and thin boy. His gaze was extremely unfriendly, and her negligent vigilance immediately rose.
That's right, he was upset. Dong Xi, a trash with three spirit roots, was able to draw Qi into her body within four days. This was already shocking enough. If news of her amazing comprehension ability were to spread, Dong Xi was afraid that she would not have any peaceful days in the future. After making up her mind, Dong Xi immediately formed another seal in front of everyone. However, this time, there was not even a flame.
After trying several times in a row, Dong Xi's face became somewhat impatient. All of this was done for the sake of giving a false impression, so that they would not find trouble with her in the future. All Dong Xi wanted was peace and quiet, and to cultivate properly. At this time, Dong Xi deliberately raised her voice and said loudly, "How did this happen? I did follow the previous movements."
Dong Xi's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Cultivation Technique Hall. Some of the children of the same age had a hint of contempt on their faces, while the Senior Brothers and Sisters had playful smiles on their faces. The boy who had an unfriendly look on his face earlier chuckled a few times.
So this girl was just lucky just now, but now she could not replicate it. The boy said with a hint of ridicule, "It was luck just now. Do you really think that Immortal cultivation relies on luck? If you had learned the fireball technique in one or two tries, you would have been an inner disciple long ago. How could you be an outer disciple?"
When Dong Xi heard this, her face was filled with disappointment. However, she was overjoyed in his heart. Children were so easy to fool. She just put on a show and these children believed her. This was great. It would save her a lot of trouble in the future.
Wang Ying was very unhappy and frowned. They were all disciples of the first batch. How could he say such things? Wang Ying walked to Dong Xi's side and comforted her, "Don't give up. There was a girl with a root value of 99 in the same batch of disciples as you. She also took two days to master this magic spell. So, don't be anxious. Take it slow. You'll probably get better with more practice."
Dong Xi nodded her head. This Senior Sister was so good. At the critical moment, she even knew how to play along with her. Now, no one would think that she had a high level of comprehension. They would only think that she was lucky. From now on, she would be able to cultivate in peace and not pay attention to the outside world.
Dong Xi looked at Wang Ying with a depressed expression and said in a light voice, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I understand. I'll continue to practice after I go back."
