Chapter 113: Fireball_1
Is this what a spell is?
Mo Hua’s eyes widened in astonishment.
It seemed that all it took was channeling Spiritual Power through specific meridians and using Divine Sense to propel it outward. Then, one could form spells of various attributes, achieving a power far beyond Mo Hua’s expectations.
After a disturbance, the pond returned to tranquility.
Only the mottled water stains along the shore and the fragmented vegetation floating on the water bore witness to what had just taken place.
Old Kui nodded, “Not bad.”
Mo Hua scratched his head, “Grandpa Gui, what should I practice next?”
“Keep practicing this one.”
“Keep practicing this one?”
“Yes,” Old Kui said, “first practice it a hundred times, feel it out.”
“Feel out what exactly?” Mo Hua asked, puzzled.
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. After a hundred repetitions, you’ll begin to grasp it,” Old Kui replied.
Mo Hua was a little confused.
Old Kui added, “It’s like with your Formation practice, practice leads to perfection. With more practice, certain things become clear intuitively, but such things are difficult to convey with words.”
“Oh.” Mo Hua nodded, understanding a bit more.
“Can I practice here?”
Mo Hua asked a bit sheepishly.
He certainly couldn’t practice at home; what if he accidentally set the place on fire with the Fireball Technique?
Practicing alone in the mountains and forests was also somewhat dangerous.
“It’s no bother,” Old Kui said indifferently.
Mo Hua hesitated a little, “But what if I damage the pond or these flowers and plants, is that okay?”
Old Kui glanced at Mo Hua with composure and then with a gentle wave of his sleeve.
Mo Hua didn’t even know what happened, he just noticed in the blink of an eye, the water stains by the pond had vanished, the charred vegetation was restored, and the fish leisurely resumed their swimming.
As if nothing that had just taken place had ever happened, as if Mo Hua had never used that Fireball Technique.
Mo Hua stood rooted to the spot.
“It’s no bother,” Old Kui said lightly.
In the following days, Mo Hua kept running over to Mr. Zhuang’s place.
If Mr. Zhuang was awake, he would greet him and seek answers to some questions; if Mr. Zhuang was asleep, that was the perfect chance to go practice the Fireball Technique beside the pond, next to the bamboo grove.
The underlying principles of the Fireball Technique were already clear to Mo Hua, and after practicing for several days, he was getting the hang of using it.
However, the power of the Fireball Technique, the speed of casting, and the accuracy of the strike varied slightly each time.
These indeed, as Old Kui had said, required personal practice and gradual understanding to master completely; they were hard to put into words.
In these days, Mo Hua had been practicing the Fireball Technique by the pond.
Splash after splash as fireballs exploded in the pond, disrupting the placid waters and causing vegetation to scatter in all directions, the fish at the bottom in panic.
Fortunately, every day after Mo Hua left, Old Kui would restore the pond.
Otherwise, Mo Hua would have already blown the pond dry…
On this particular day, as Mo Hua practiced his Fireball Technique by the pond, he saw a little head sneakily peeking over from afar.
“Bai Zisheng?”
Upon seeing that only Mo Hua was there, Bai Zisheng stealthily ran over, asking curiously, “What are you playing with?”
“It’s not a game, I am practicing a spell,” Mo Hua corrected.
Bai Zisheng’s eyes lit up, “You’re learning a spell? Which one? Show me!”
Mo Hua set off another Fireball Technique into the pond.
With a thunderous boom, water splashed every which way.
After watching, Bai Zisheng’s excitement faded a bit, and he said dismissively:
“It’s just the Fireball Technique…”
Mo Hua wouldn’t have it, “What’s wrong with the Fireball Technique?”
Bai Zisheng consoled, “It’s alright, I guess. I thought you had learned something more powerful.”
“Like what?”
“Like… oh, right, you have low Spiritual Power, even if you learned it, you couldn’t use it,” Bai Zisheng said.
Mo Hua gave him a disdainful look and said coolly, “Have you finished your homework?”
