8 Firefox Spirit

Tian Feng was playing with his fire when he suddenly recalled a legend from his previous world. It was a story about a fire, a black fire.

A black fire that burns eternally. The only one who can put it out is the one who created it. It's also known as Grimfire or Hellfire.

At that moment, an inspiration struck him.

[Since Qi can be transformed into anything, doesn't that mean I can transform my Qi into that fire?]

A glint flashes through his eyes for an instant. He circulates his Qi and tries to imagine the black fire. He's releasing his Qi through his finger but the expected black fire is nowhere to be seen.

[Seem like it wasn't that easy after all. I need to understand that fire before I can create it.]

He is regretting not study hard in high school but there's no medicine for regret. [If only he know more chemistry or biology...]

Although he is a level 9 Qi cultivator, he can't fight or defend himself at this moment. He's like a man with power but doesn't know how to use it.

Should something happened, he can only run away. His father taught him a few skills but it's all fire based skills.

Fire Throwing is a skill that merely converts Qi into the fire then throw it at the enemy. It has low damage and can be easily dodged. His father was a normal cultivator who owned a restaurant. He had long stopped practicing any skills.

When he opened the restaurant, he started to learn these fire-based skills. Tian Feng used to ask about other skills but his father didn't say anything.

Fire Booster which boosts jumping speed which is also an escape skill. Those skills are not even considered the real skill. If one can manipulate Qi, one would be able to use it.

"Ding... Discover a presence of a celestial beast spirit"

Tian Feng hesitatingly looking around. [A spirit...? Could it be the spirit of that wolf? Has it turned into a ghost and come here to take revenge?]

Human fears the unknown! And Tian Feng is ranked the first place when it comes to who fear it the most.

In the distant, he saw something slightly transparent. [Is that the spirit?]

The spirit is moving slowly toward him. He wants to alert everyone who were sleeping behind him but when he opened his mouth, no voice was coming out. His face is devoid of any color and his lip is twitching uncontrollably.

Tian Feng is shivering heavily. He didn't dare to move at all. He is afraid of that ghost. This is his first time seeing a ghost. [I should be the MC in this world. I wouldn't die now, would I?]

Plucking every bit of his courage, he's struggling to shouts out in a hoarse voice without even turning back.

"Wa...ke u...p..."

However, none of them seem to hear him. He wants to turn his head over to look but he didn't dare.

The spirit finally arrived and stopped right before the fire. Tian Feng can finally see it clearly.

Human fears the unknown! Now that it's not that mysterious anymore, the fear in his heart also lessens a little bit.

[Could it be afraid of fire? Is that why it can't advance further? Why do I have the feeling that something is not right?]

Abruptly, the spirit shot itself toward his forehead and entered through his glabella.

He is stunned. A cold run down his spine making his body shivering uncontrollably. He was so scared that he's about to cry now. [Where's it? Is it inside me now?]

"Ding... Obtained a celestial beast spirit. Would host like to absorb it?"

Immediately after he heard the notification, the weird feeling quickly disappeared. However, he's soaked in sweat all over his body.

Opening the inventory, he sees a new item. It was the spirit. He spent 600 points to read all the information.

Item Details

Name: Firefox Spirit

Tier: Gold

Effects: Can be consumed directly. It will strengthen consumer's soul. Can be used as cultivation material, it will provide a large amount of soul energy.

Side Effects: There's a chance to be possessed by the spirit if the consumer's soul or willpower is not strong enough.

History: 400 years ago, this fox's body was killed by Jun Mo Yang to revenge his villagers. Just before she got hit by a fatal strike, she managed to withdraw her soul from her body leaving only a small part of it to prevent suspicions.

Hoping that she would be able to find a new body and take her revenge, she wandered around for almost 50 years before she comes across her second body. It was a human who has the same cultivation level as her but after she possessed her, she stuck in the battle for the body for almost a century.

The owner soul finally died but her soul also severely injured. Thus, she lost 3 stages of cultivation. Just as she thought that she finally has a hope of her revenge, she discovered a painful fact.

She can't cultivate in the human body unless she starts to cultivate from scratch.

She comes to a conclusion that it was because the human body doesn't compatible with her technique. Thus, she left that body again after she recovered from her injury.

She wandered around to find a beast of her cultivation level but she found none.

Ten years ago, she arrived here in this Xin Jie forest. She noticed that her soul was running out of energy and would dissipate soon if she can't find a corporeal body.

At her final moment, she saw a wolf.

Left with no choice, she possessed it and started to slowly regained her soul energy. She didn't kill the wolf soul and she didn't cultivate the wolf body either. She planned to leave once she regained her soul energy.

But then the wolf was killed by Da Jing. She was cultivating when she was abruptly forced to leave and suffer an injury again. After stabilized her condition, she has come to vent her anger.

After reading the history, he praised the system. It was worth 600 points.

The fox has suffered for so many years and it would never have thought that this would be the end of its struggling. It has come to take revenge only to be captured by the system.

She would never expect an existence such as the system. If there's no system, maybe she might already have killed us all.

Turning his attention back to the effects of the item, he grins. Other might not know about the benefit of a soul but how could he not know?

He knows what soul means to cultivators or at least he thought he knows. It's because of all the novels he had read.

Without much hesitation, he decided to consume it. He believes that his willpower is strong and his soul is also not weak. He's a young man who has crossed the world.

"Ding... Consuming Firefox Spirit."

Instantly, he felt overwhelmed by a foreign energy. He's starting to lose consciousness when he heard a robotic voice in his head.

"Ding... Host's soul is being consumed. Initiating Emergency Life-Saving Operation!"

"Ding... Points are being spent at a fast speed."

Everything went dark. [I can't feel my body.]

[Was I being driven out of my own body?]

Was he to die here after everything that had happened?

"Ding... Congratulation on defeating the Firefox Spirit."

"Ding... Obtained 1 free psychic ability: Astral Projection."

In the absolute darkness, there's a light dot. The dot begins to expand itself. In a blink of an eye, he could see everything again.

He woke up to a beautiful woman. She's frowning in worried looking at him. It's none other than his aunty, Tian Fei'er.

Tian Feng smiles bitterly at her. He didn't expect that his soul and willpower would be this weak. It has almost cost him his life. [I should not overestimate myself in the future.]

After he fell down last night, Fei'er was jolted awake by the sound of Tian Feng hitting the ground. When she saw that it was Tian Feng, she quickly rushed over to his side. But at that moment, he's already lost consciousness.

Everyone also awoke by that time. Da Fang said that he's only fainted so they decided to just wait for him to awake.

After knowing what happened after he went into that darkness. He scratches his head and smiles awkwardly. It was his mistake that all of this happened but he can't tell them and he doesn't know what to say either.

Raising his head upward, he noticed that it's already afternoon. He breaks the silence and said "Let's go! It's already afternoon! I'll tell you what happened on the way."

Hesitating for a moment, everyone agrees then they set out again.

Inside the carriage, two people were looking at him since the carriage started moving. He can't stand this awkward atmosphere to he make an excuse.

"I saw the ghost of the wolf and I was too scared so hehe..."

He just said that on the spur of the moment. He didn't expect anyone to believe him because he wouldn't believe himself too.

But contrary to his expectation, Fei'er face is turning red. Da Jing also turned his head away.

Finally, Fei'er couldn't hold it any longer and she burst out laughing. Immediately after, Da Fang and Da Jing also laugh loudly.

Tian Feng finally realized what's going on, he lowers his head in embarrassment. [It's also good that they take it this way.]

He doesn't know what happened to him last night after consuming that spirit.

He opens the interface. Tian Feng is promptly startled when he saw that his points were now 0.

Tian Feng really wants to cry now.

But when the others catch sight of his face, they both stop laughing. They thought that he's too embarrassed that he was about to cry.

She tries to comfort him by giving him a hug.

Tian Feng is feeling awful right now.

[My precious points! Not to mention I almost lost my life in exchange for this 1000 soul energy. How could I be so stupid?]

Although he was regretting, he didn't forget to checks his other reward 'Astral Projection'. However, his skills function is still locked.

Although it's locked, he feels that he could use the ability albeit not able to view it on the interface. From the memory of his previous life, he recalled something about the ability.

[Astral Projection? Isn't it just an ability to leave the body temporarily? What could it be used for? How come my luck is so bad? Why didn't I receive some super strong fighting skill instead?]

Negative thoughts are flooding into his mind. Anything would be considered bad in his opinion.

Closing the interface, he lets out a deep sigh trying to forget about everything.

After calming down a little bit, he feels very comfortable. Opening his eyes, he realized that he is now sleeping on his aunt's embrace. No wonder it felt so comfortable.

Tian Feng was a virgin young man who never had a girlfriend. Not to mention a girlfriend, he had never even come close to a girl. All the negative feeling suddenly faded away.

Taking a glance at his aunt, he finally calmed down completely.
