Chapter 654 - 475: The Fire God’s Gift
"No, please!" xN
As the massive fireball was about to touch Li Pu, someone cried out in alarm from afar.
Honestly, the aura from this fireball created an impression of an impending catastrophe for everyone.
If a comparison must be made, only certain S-level card projections on a card table could have such presence.
Despite Li Pu previously bearing several waves of flame unscathed, it still raised a lot of concern at this moment.
Gu Zhe’s expression was currently among the most troubled.
He felt that if something really went wrong, his responsibility would be significant.
A relative had once said that deities wouldn’t interfere with non-divine life.
Yet, it seemed not mentioned what restricts them from doing so, nor what would happen if they actually did.
However, when Li Pu opened his mouth, the crowd and the flame skeleton witnessed a truly bizarre scene.
As he opened his mouth, it widened disproportionately, like a dark, black hole.
The proportions clearly exceeded human limits.
Meanwhile, the massive fireball appeared to be under pressure from all directions, shrinking rapidly.
Ultimately, it shrank to a size just enough for Li Pu to swallow in one gulp.
"Argh!"
Thus, the fireball was swallowed down into his stomach without hesitation.
"Ah, this..." xN
Everyone was momentarily baffled.
Being unharmed by such a fire attack is already outrageous, but swallowing it?
It’s worth noting that lesser fire attacks almost killed several summoned beasts before.
Can this thing really be swallowed?
Wouldn’t it burn through his internal organs?
However, including the flame skeleton, they all were unaware that.
During the recent skirmish, Li Pu had nearly exhausted all of his crystal coin wealth to acquire a relevant skill from that skeleton.
Or rather, Bu Bu acquired this skill.
[LV1-Fire Swallowing (A)]
Passive effect: Swallow flames and temporarily gain corresponding burst abilities based on flame strength
Attribute requirement: 10 Fire
Type requirement: None
Race requirement: Fire Demon Tribe
Li Pu didn’t know what kind of race the Fire Demon Tribe was.
All he knew was that he could use this skill, and use it immediately.
Don’t be misled by its name resembling [Electric Consumption], the application is similar, but the effect is entirely different.
Meaning the stronger the temporarily swallowed flames, the stronger the gained explosive power.
As for conversion ratio or duration, they remained unknown.
Li Pu could clearly feel a raging force inside him needing release, or he might explode.
If someone observed him up close now, they would notice a new red-gold color mixing in with the original blue glow covering his body and filling his orifices.
Boom!
With just a stomp on the ground, Li Pu caused an explosion of mud and stone, like loud thunder.
Everyone didn’t dare blink, yet they couldn’t understand how he had already appeared at the flame skeleton’s previous spot.
Moreover, his left foot was lifted in mid-air, clearly just completing an impossibly swift kick.
As for the flame skeleton, it was stuck against the fire wall like a piece of decoration.
[Wow...!]
The flames in the skeleton’s eyes burst forth; it never imagined this cripple could unleash such a powerful strike!
As it opened its mouth, a front tooth dropped from it.
This situation made the flame skeleton’s expression change drastically.
It couldn’t help but wonder why its body felt lighter during this duel, yet now its bones seemed a bit more brittle.
Based on prior knowledge, that kick was fierce but shouldn’t have knocked a tooth out.
[I quit, you’ve won this practice duel!]
Thrilled to find such a suitable body, it cherished it deeply and felt heartbroken from even minor damage.
Li Yilou and the others appeared stunned, almost disbelieving their ears, then broke out in exclamations.
"Wow! Did I hear that right? He truly won?!"
"The guy we all couldn’t defeat together, he defeated single-handedly?"
"Unbelievable, this is ridiculously unbelievable!"
For a while, they gazed at Li Pu with admiring eyes.
Being in the same grade, the disparity seemed astoundingly vast.
No, perhaps it shouldn’t even be considered within the student category.
Maybe not even the grade dean or headmaster-level summoners could withstand such a kick!
"Cough, cough..."
With a fatigued cough, Li Pu’s aura flashed over him.
The previously [Possessed] Bu Bu reappeared upon the ground, lying face-up and snoring loudly, with its small belly rising and falling, evidently extremely tired.
Likewise, Li Pu fared no better.
The flames he swallowed were overwhelmingly strong, and although they only burst momentarily, already pushed his body’s endurance to its limit.
Now, he felt every inch of him sore and weak, relying on his last bit of strength to stand.
Quickly, he used telepathy to beckon the ugly wolf, which shot several intense bolts of lightning at him, slightly easing his exhaustion.
[You little human, you’re quite impressive]
The flame skeleton approached Li Pu, seemingly ready to fulfill its promise.
