Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 125 Showing off

"I've come to pick them up." Bai Xinxin pushed open the door and saw that the video on the stage was playing Jiang Guoqiang's part. She glanced at the fifteen calm people and said nothing.

"Fire element, Chu Deng and Xie Muyun, come with me."

"I'm going now, we'll talk again when I get back tonight." Chu Deng told Jin Xiaoyue and then left with Bai Xinxin.

The three remained silent until they arrived at a windowless house. As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat hit them. Jie Muyun hissed, but Chu Deng kept walking. The further they went into the house, the hotter it became, and they could hear occasional clattering sounds.

"This is a furnace. The temperature gets higher the further you go in. There's ventilation going down, and there are cooling patches everywhere you can use, but I advise you not to use them," Bai Xinxin explained.

"As a fire-type ability user, the first step is to withstand high temperatures. Even after awakening, fire-type abilities can still be damaged by flames. Learning to understand and control the temperature of fire is fundamental. Frequent use of ice packs is harmless to the body, but it will weaken your willpower. Once you become dependent on it, you're basically useless."

Bai Xinxin looked at the two sweating people and said, "I don't like useless formalities, so I brought you here on the first day. Today you can start trying to awaken. This is the most active place for fire elements in the entire base. Feel the scorching temperature, call upon the fire elements in the air to ignite your own energy cores, and let them circulate in your bodies. This is the method of awakening. Do you have any questions?"

"Can we go back to the dormitory?" Xie Muyun raised her hand.

Bai Xinxin glanced at her, her eyes softening for a moment before returning to their usual calm. "Okay, nine to five, two weeks. Don't waste the time."

"Okay!" Xie Muyun nodded confidently.

Bai Xinxin then turned to Chu Deng, who had remained silent, and asked, "Do you have any questions for me?"

"No."

“Starting tomorrow, I will come for an hour every day. You can ask me any questions you may have.”

Bai Xinxin left the two of them behind and departed from the furnace alone.

As soon as she left, Xie Muyun collapsed to the ground, uttering weakly, "It's so hot..."

Chu Deng looked around at the surroundings. The building was corridor-shaped with a domed structure. After entering through the main entrance, there was a spacious hall with a passage on each side leading in the same direction. Inside the main entrance, there were staircases on both sides leading to the underground.

Bai Xinxin was right; the fire element was indeed active here, and Chu Deng absorbed it much faster here than outside.

Looking up at the sky, Chu Deng squinted, noticing something different.

The fire elements emanating from the two passages in the hall were different. On the left, orange and red intersected, while on the right, white and blue were mixed. Chu Deng guessed that this was related to the temperature of the flames, with the temperature on the left being relatively lower than that on the right.

However, as a newbie who hasn't awakened yet, Chu Deng shouldn't know these things. So she thought that by observing how Jie Muyun cultivated and following her steps, she could successfully infiltrate the Hai City base as a Level 1 cultivator.

Chu Deng observed for a long time but saw Mu Yun get up. Hearing her steady breathing, he knew she was asleep. He found a place to sit cross-legged, his eyes open as if in a daze, but he was actually secretly practicing meditation.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Chu Deng pushed open the door and walked out of the furnace. Looking back, she saw that Jie Muyun was still lying on the ground, fast asleep. She didn't call anyone and went to the cafeteria by herself.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

When Chu Deng returned to the furnace, she saw that Jie Muyun hadn't moved but was breathing normally. Chu Deng, who didn't like to meddle in other people's business, ignored her and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, couldn't wait to activate her senses.

The powerful senses that enveloped the entire city carefully discerned the differences, passing through street after street, and quickly arrived at the city's port. In the vast sea of ​​crows, it found only two small golden dots that were shining. The larger golden light represented dark clouds, and the smaller one represented flying spirits.

Chu Deng chose to connect with Fei Ling first and share his senses with it.

Lunch had just passed, and it was the hottest time of day in May. Dark clouds were drinking water from the fountain, while Fei Ling plunged into the fountain pool and used its beak to pick up some shiny coins.

The new coins are smaller; Fei Ling can pick up seven or eight with one beak. Chu Deng felt that it was having trouble closing its beak, but it still happily stuffed a few more coins in.

Chu Deng directly took over Fei Ling's body, squeezing the native's consciousness into a corner. With a bird's beak open, the coin fell back into the fountain pool, attracting the attention of the dark clouds with a few "plop plop" sounds.

"You unlucky thing, can't you even do this little job well?" Dark Cloud raised its head and cackled at Flying Spirit, clearly dissatisfied.

It's going to use these coins to decorate the bird's nest!

"[Dark Clouds, it's me, Chu Deng.]" Chu Deng called out twice without being taught, successfully conveying that Fei Ling's body was now under her control.

【Huh?】The dark cloud paused for a moment, then visibly became excited. Its previously lazy drinking posture changed; it tilted its head back, puffed out its chest, and flapped its wings, circling around Chu Deng. 【The boss is here! Let's go! Let's fight!】

The dark clouds suddenly flew far away, seemingly heading towards the park, and Chu Deng also took flight.

After experiencing two nights of flying with crows, Chu Deng had undoubtedly mastered the flying skills. With the addition of the consciousness connection, she found that although she could not use her level five power at any time, she could burst out for a moment. Of course, there were limitations, mainly because the flying spirit's body and will could not withstand it.

Chu Deng is like a race car driver driving a dilapidated car that's about to be scrapped. He has the ability but can't use it. When he's forced to use it, the dilapidated car will only fall apart.

But for Chu Deng, whose mastery of micro-management of power was already ingrained in his bones, it was still a piece of cake to give the dangerous vehicle a little more gas and make it run a little faster, so that it could drive smoothly and quickly on the road.

Therefore, even though Fei Ling's level and quality were inferior to Wu Yun's, Chu Deng still easily surpassed Wu Yun.

Without needing to ask about the target location of the dark cloud, as soon as they approached the park, Fei Ling's innate sense of crisis went off like an alarm. Chu Deng felt the feathers at the base of his wings harden, shook his body, and saw the petrel resting on a street lamp.

That mutated petrel that fought with the dark clouds a few days ago.

Seemingly sensing the enemy's approach, the petrel suddenly took flight and flew back into the sea.

The dark clouds creaked and flew past.

Where are you going!

The familiar scene alerted Chu Deng, but the two birds were moving very fast and were about to fly out of her sight, so she had no choice but to follow them.

The petrel flew to the open sea and, using the same trick, stirred up a wave.

The dark cloud cried triumphantly and suddenly soared high, dodging the attack of the sea waves.

Chu Deng, who had just flown over, sensed something was wrong. [Watch out!]
