BXBX NOVEL Chapter 421 - Spirits
Wayde was launched flying to the side by Adam\'s punch, but he had managed to reinforce his side with energy just before he was about to be hit, so his ribs were not broken and the damage he received was minimal.
In terms of fundamentals and being capable in all departments, Wayde was up there, but that was also what was holding him back as he had never had a reason to or drive to improve.
His sole purpose had always been to protect Angela, but now that he was her peer and a leader of the faction, he was finally fighting for himself and something that he believed in.
However, Adam still couldn\'t see the drive in him that he saw in the others, likely because of his lack of emotion.
"Come on Wayde, is that all you got. I want to see you become angry and surpass your limits"
Fire Palm Strike
Adam had used the Air Palm Strike Skill with his Fire Energy along with his Burst Movement Skill, and their explosive power would greatly increase.
The strike hit the centre of Wayde\'s chest and caused him to vomit a curdle of blood, but he was able to handle the heat of the flame and his chest wasn\'t burned.
Despite that, Wayde was still calm and he wasn\'t able to unleash his full potential because of his calmness.
Dashing over to Adam, he coated his fist in fire energy to use a Fire Fist Skill, but Adam caught his fist and instructed him to stop fighting.
"I have seen enough. Now for my feedback"
"First of all, I believe your fundamentals are great, but I also believe they are holding you back. You rely too much on your teachings, that you are too afraid to progress independently. You also are holding back your emotions too much as they are a part of you that need to be accepted and used as fuel for your progress"
Wayde nodded his head and noted down everything that Adam said to him, wanting to improve in any way that he could and one day be able to rival Adam.
He remembered when Adam was a mere early Novice Cultivator that he could easily defeat, but yet in less than 2 years, Adam had surpassed him greatly and he felt as though he couldn\'t catch up.
However, Adam was willing to teach him and told them all that achieving anything and everything was possible, so he wasn\'t going to give up so soon.
Adam smiled slightly after seeing the drive in Wayde\'s eyes as although Wayde had always been hard-working, he had never been working with purpose, emotion or desire.
Now that he was, his progress would be much greater and quicker.
"I have some tips and will reveal to you a power within you that even you have been unable to tap into, but if you do, your flames will become even stronger than mine" stated Adam.
"If you truly want to become stronger, I want to see you fighting and training for yourself, your faction and with purpose"
"Yes Adam"
"Alright then, we will start with Fire Weaponry. Producing weapons out of Fire Energy and integrating Fire Energy into the weapons you use, will fuse the two things you are good at. Wielding Fire Energy and wielding weaponry, which should greatly increase your combat power and versatility"
"However it is easier said than done and it is very hard to produce solid objects out of energy, especially Fire Energy that is explosive and difficult to restrain. But if I am able to do it, then so can you"
As he said that, Adam produced a sword in his right hand out of Fire Energy and the sword was flaming and also had burning and explosive effects as he swung it.
"Train the control of your flames in the energy control training room and I want you to be able to control the temperature of your flame. You should be able to make your flame cold, but also make it hotter than the current peak temperature of your flame. Better control will then allow you to master Fire Weaponry and wielding Fire Energy in general"
"That is what I want you to do to increase your combat capabilities, but as for your power overall, there are other things I want you to do and realise"
"The power of your flames can be improved by being submerged in water and trying to unleash your flames. You should do so in the lake outside the base and get Angela to refill it for you whenever you have evaporated all the water. If you manage to train in that way, you will be increasing the power of your flames, but also tempering your body in the steam and boiling water. It will be painful to endure, but I am sure you can handle it"
"However that is not all. I can sense a power within you that has been suppressed by your lack of understanding of fire and you lack the ambition and drive to fuel the real fire that is within you. I believe you have a rare Fire Spirit and yours is a Fire Lion Spirit" revealed Adam, completely shocking and confusing Wayde.
He knew that Adam was being serious, but he had no idea what a Fire Spirit was and Adam was the same until Ava told him about it.
There were mentions of it from his master and in the library records, but they weren\'t very detailed since their existence was rare.
"A Fire Spirit is basically an accumulation of Fire Energy and power that forms an existence that is partly alive. It chooses an individual to be born into and the spirit will not provide its power and will only cooperate with those that they deem worthy.. You host such a power within you and have never known, but the reason for that is simple. You have never understood yourself, your body or shown yourself to be worthy"
