They all call me Great Master-Chapter 555 - 552: Abdul’s Pyrokinesis!
The sun rose as usual, and XP arrived as promised—
[Kill a Mystic Side Person: XP+150]
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
[The strength Baron Harold exhibited in the battle against the 'Blood Descendants' was surprising, and his entrusting of his final wishes was even more unexpected. Your name once again spread within the Mystic Side of South Los: XP+350]
[More people heard your name: XP+180]
...
Clearly, after another day's fermentation, the aftermath of the 'South Los Swordsmanship Competition' continued to spread, and more people learned the name Arthur Kredos.
The XP gained from slaying the Mystic Side Person and the incident at Harold Manor were within Arthur's expectations.
His vest, the pursued 'Blood Descendant', spared another of his vests, the 'Bandage Swordsman', but had also meticulously selected two fish that escaped the net.
One was a scout of the Earl of South Los.
The other was truly a lucky survivor.
The former, Arthur didn't want any conflict with the Earl of South Los just yet.
The latter?
Was truly needed for spreading his name.
After all, compared to 'daily XP', incidents related to the Mystic Side would yield much more XP, and how could Arthur pass up such an opportunity?
With today's XP credited to his account, combined with the remaining 420 points from last time, Arthur's XP quickly returned to about 1100 points.
Without hesitation, Arthur's gaze turned to [Abdel's Pyrokinesis].
Previously, he had lacked the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch', but now that he had it, naturally, he wanted to enrich his arsenal.
[Abdel's Pyrokinesis Lv1: The Empire's court jester 'Harrington' invented this secret technique for his fire-breathing act, but it was very unstable and frequently caused explosions. Every time 'Harrington' ended up covered in soot and dirt, the Imperial Court Mage 'Xarlico' would laugh heartily, and the Court Lady 'Lith' would smile. Hence, 'Harrington' did not continue his research on this technique, believing it to be the best as it was, for after all, who could refuse the laughter of friends and loved ones? However, 'Harrington's disciple, Abdul, saw the potential in this secret technique, and after several years of research, he made it more effective, safe, and powerful.
For this, 'Harrington' encouraged him and made 'Fire Control Technique' his research subject, entrusting it entirely to Abdul.
As a result, Abdul began a research that lasted 50 years.
You have now come into contact with the basic part of this master.]
[Effect: 1, Fire Control; 2, Ignition]
[Fire Control: When there's a flame within a 2-meter radius of you, no bigger than 1CM in radius, you can manipulate it as you wish and shoot it out like an arrow]
[Ignition: When you touch dry paper, you can ignite it]
（Note 1: The distance you can control the flame cannot exceed a radius of 2 meters with you at the center.）
（Note 2: The fire shot out is currently at the power of a soft bow.)
（Note 3: When igniting, besides dry paper, hair can also be ignited, but it cannot be set alight, and the temperature can't be transmitted.）
...
Abdul was actually a disciple of the court jester 'Harrington'?
Arthur was somewhat astonished.
He had fresh memories of the court jester 'Harrington', Court Mage 'Xarlico', and Court Lady 'Lith'.
In particular, he vividly remembered when Xarlico's Noise Technique reached Lv5 and he used 'Harrington's voice to successfully confess to 'Lith', and Xarlico's pensive question afterward, 'Why? Why did this happen? Marriage? Are you joking? Women only slow down your research.'
Of course, Arthur was more grateful than anything else.
[Noise Technique] had helped him a lot.
It had before, and it still did now.
And [Abdel's Pyrokinesis]?
As Arthur read the description of 'Abdul began a research that lasted 50 years; you have now come into contact with the basic part of this master.', he knew he had made a good investment.
Abdul could be called a master, so naturally, he wasn't mediocre.
And 50 years of research...
It was highly likely another skill that started off unremarkable but would explode in effect at later stages—the Wand Combat Technique!
So Arthur didn't hesitate; he directly tested the limits of Abdul's Pyrokinesis with his own XP.
At Lv1, it was 50 XP.
At Lv2, it was 100 XP.
At Lv3, it was 200 XP.
At Lv4, it was 400 XP.
With an additional 700 XP, Arthur brought Abdul's Pyrokinesis to its current limit—
[Abdul's Pyrokinesis Lv4: In the 10th year following his teacher, the court jester 'Harrington', Abdul found himself at a bottleneck with his 'Fire Control Technique' research topic. No matter what, he couldn't break through the existing phase, and he couldn't even find the direction to move forward anymore.
At this time, 'Harrington' indicated to Abdul that it was time for him to travel.
Immediately, the apprentice began packing his bags, bidding farewell to his teacher and friends. Carrying a mix of trepidation and excitement, he began a journey across the continent.]
[Effect: 1. Fire Control; 2. Ignition]
[Fire Control: When there is a flame with a radius of no more than 2 meters within a 25-meter radius of where you stand, you can freely manipulate it, turning it into various shapes, or using it as a projectile to shoot it out.]
[Ignition: When you touch hard and moist wood, you can ignite it.]
(Note 1: The distance of fire manipulation cannot exceed a radius of 25 meters with you as the center.)
(Note 2: When the flame begins to change, the transformed object cannot exceed the original volume of the flame.)
(Note 3: The fired flame currently has the power of a 12-pound solid shot from an Emperor Cannon. You can hit a target within 200 meters in your line of sight as you wish. When it hits the target, the flame projectile will explode again, forming nine Flame Arrows, covering a target within a 6-meter radius. If there is only one target, they must bear all nine Flame Arrows. If there are multiple targets, they can be allocated as you wish.)
(Note 3: When igniting, moist wood is possible, and objects of the same level can also be ignited. Even if you can't ignite, you can still transmit high temperatures.)
...
Arthur stroked his chin as he looked at the Lv4 Abdul's Pyrokinesis.
Just the ability to shoot out 12-pound solid tracking explosive shells justified his total investment of 750 XP, but what made Arthur even happier was the Ignition effect.
This was definitely not just about not having to worry about starting a fire for cooking outdoors on a rainy day.
It was quite a useful offensive technique.
Any normal creature, as long as he touched it.
They would have to prepare to become a 'torch'.
Of course, these were not important.
The important thing was the Lv5 of Abdul's Pyrokinesis—
50,000!
Just like the Wand Combat Technique.
Upgrading Abdul's Pyrokinesis to Lv5 would require 50,000 XP points.
Although Arthur had previously guessed that Abdul's Pyrokinesis would undergo a qualitative change at Lv5, the identical XP value to the Wand Combat Technique caught him by surprise.
'The same 50,000 XP?
Could it be that after being raised to Lv5 with 50,000 XP, one would possess an attack power equivalent to that of an Ascend Steper with this secret technique?'
Arthur speculated, his gaze unintentionally shifting to another secret technique in his skill bar—
Arrow Guiding Technique!
