Chapter 15: A new big shot

"I heard you have an SSS-aptitude ability user here?"

"Yes." Bai Jie nodded.

"Where is he?"

"Outside, Shi Jian is giving him special training."

"Outside?"

Shangguan Huofeng's brows furrowed.

She came outside.

And saw Chen Hao being sent flying by Shi Jian.

These past few days, Chen Hao had used all five ability potions.

After refining the potions, Chen Hao's strength reached the 9th stage of the Soldier Realm.

One step away, and he could reach the Warrior Realm.

Bang!

Chen Hao was sent flying again.

This time, after falling to the ground, he couldn't get back up.

He lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Just as Chen Hao was preparing to have a good rest.

He smelled a scent of perfume; it was the scent of peonies.

"You are Chen Hao?"

Shangguan Huofeng walked up to Chen Hao, looking down at him coldly.

"I am Chen Hao, and you are?"

"My name is Shangguan Huofeng, I am the director of this ability branch."

"Director!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao was a bit surprised.

Shangguan Huofeng's strength surprised Chen Hao even more.

"SS-grade [Flame Control], 1st stage of the Spirit Realm!"

He had thought Bai Jie's 4th stage of the King Realm strength was already very impressive.

He didn't expect that the one in front of him was the real big shot!

"Alright, stop lying there, stand up and come with me."

Shangguan Huofeng said to Chen Hao.

Hearing this, Chen Hao climbed up and followed Shangguan Huofeng to the medical room.

"Bai Jie, heal this kid."

"You got it!"

Bai Jie used Divine Healing on Chen Hao.

The injuries on Chen Hao's body were healed instantly.

Chen Hao subconsciously moved his body; he felt his body was warm and comfortable.

"Now that you're healed, come with me."

"Where to?"

"A volcano."

"A volcano?"

Chen Hao was completely bewildered, but he still honestly followed Shangguan Huofeng.

They took a car and arrived at a place heavily guarded by troops.

Shangguan Huofeng brought Chen Hao to a place resembling a portal.

She stepped in first, walking into the portal.

Chen Hao followed her in.

As a result, they arrived in a world full of flames.

"Welcome to the Flame Kingdom."

"This is a flame secret realm."

"A flame secret realm?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Huofeng nodded.

"I heard you awakened an SSS-aptitude ability."

"You also possess a talent for fire control."

"In order not to bury your skills, you will have your special training here."

Saying this, Shangguan Huofeng took out a secret manual.

"This is my family's ancestral 'Fire Phoenix Art'."

"I'm letting you cultivate it now, you brat, read it carefully."

"Return it to me once you've learned it."

Hearing this, Chen Hao's brows furrowed.

"Are you very confused as to why I would teach you my ancestral 'Fire Phoenix Art'?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao nodded.

"That's because we are short on people right now."

"The Scorpion Brigade is becoming increasingly powerful, while we are stuck in our old ways."

"You are an SSS-grade ability user; I hope you can grow up quickly and take charge on your own."

The Scorpion Brigade was getting stronger, and Shangguan Huofeng felt the pressure; she also had selfish motives for giving the 'Fire Phoenix Art' to Chen Hao.

That was that her Shangguan clan, passed down to her generation, only had her as the sole seedling left.

Shangguan Huofeng felt that she would not marry in the future, so the issue of having offspring did not exist.

In order not to let her family's 'Fire Phoenix Art' inheritance be cut off, she planned to pass the 'Fire Phoenix Art' to Chen Hao.

Before this, Shangguan Huofeng had already checked Chen Hao's background.

Clean and innocent, and he was also a filial child.

There were no problems with his character, which was why Shangguan Huofeng made such a decision.

After Chen Hao received the 'Fire Phoenix Art', he began to flip through it.

Chen Hao was surprised to find that this 'Fire Phoenix Art' was actually a purple-quality cultivation technique.

It was only one step away from a colorful god-level technique.

With the help of [Super Brain], Chen Hao memorized the 'Fire Phoenix Art'.

He sat cross-legged and began to try cultivating it.

"What's going on? Is it still not enough?"

Chen Hao discovered that his D-grade [Super Brain] was actually unable to fully comprehend the 'Fire Phoenix Art'.

Shangguan Huofeng seemed to see through this.

She said to Chen Hao: "If there's anything you don't understand, you can tell me, and I will help you analyze it."

"Okay."

With Shangguan Huofeng's help, Chen Hao barely managed to run the 'Fire Phoenix Art' once.

He began to try running it a second time on his own.

"What's going on?"

While running it, Chen Hao discovered a sense of stiffness.

"Shangguan Huofeng's explanation is wrong!"

Chen Hao pondered slightly and quickly reacted.

"She analyzed this part wrong."

Just as Chen Hao was calculating whether to tell Shangguan Huofeng.

Shangguan Huofeng had already walked to the side and was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

"Forget it, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth."

Chen Hao hadn't figured out Shangguan Huofeng's temper yet.

He began to try to crack the stiff parts.

"No, still no way."

"I can only practice according to Shangguan Huofeng's method for now."

There was no problem with the technique.

Unfortunately, after comprehending it wrongly, it caused the technique to become a fragmented one.

When absorbing fire-attribute energy, it would cause a portion of the energy to be lost.

Bang!

With the running of the 'Fire Phoenix Art', Chen Hao finally broke through the shackles of the Soldier Realm and reached the Warrior Realm.

"Is this the Warrior Realm?"

Chen Hao discovered that his five senses had become stronger.

The ability energy in his dantian had also increased.

Absorbing energy from the outside world had also accelerated quite a bit.

"You broke through?"

Shangguan Huofeng discovered Chen Hao's abnormality.

"Yes."

Chen Hao nodded.

"Very good, let's stop here for today."

"Let's go eat first, tomorrow I will teach you ability techniques."

The next day.

Chen Hao followed Shangguan Huofeng to the Flame Kingdom secret realm again.

Shangguan Huofeng said to Chen Hao: "I will demonstrate it for you once."

"Flame Gale Slash!"

Shangguan Huofeng swung her right hand fiercely.

A sharp fire blade broke through the air.

"Fire Barrier!"

Boom!

With Shangguan Huofeng as the center, a circle of barriers made of flames was formed.

"Fire Phoenix Roar!"

"Chirp!"

A screeching sound rang out!

A fire phoenix appeared out of thin air.

It opened its big mouth, and a scorching flame was sprayed out.

The area in front instantly turned into a sea of fire.

After using the three skills, Shangguan Huofeng was panting slightly.

Afterward, she walked to Chen Hao and began to explain to him.

After listening, Chen Hao began to practice according to Shangguan Huofeng's explanation.

"Flame Gale Slash!"

Chen Hao's right hand slashed forward fiercely.

A fire blade broke through the air.

The power of this fire blade was much smaller than Shangguan Huofeng's, and the speed was also much slower.

Seeing this, Shangguan Huofeng's brows furrowed.

"Chen Hao, are you sure your ability isn't [Flame Control]?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao immediately said: "My ability is [Mimicry], not [Flame Control]."

When saying this, Chen Hao used the [Sanctimonious] ability.

"Hmm."

Shangguan Huofeng nodded.

"Phew!"
