"What, what's going on?"

Lin Tian stared blankly at the flames shooting out of his body.

The flames were quite bright red, almost the same as the flames on that damned fire griffin. It really looked like it was about to mutate into a "fire turtle".

He tentatively placed his paw on a small tree nearby, and lo and behold, the tree burst into flames with a "whoosh," as if it had been doused with gasoline, with flames shooting into the sky.

"My goodness, is this going to become a spirit?"

Lin Tian was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his paw. What if the fire got out of control and burned his precious tortoise shell?

"Brother, how are you?"

The Empress also noticed something was wrong; her voice trembled, clearly indicating she was somewhat frightened.

She gripped the little black bear's fur tightly with her little paws, as if afraid the fire would burn her.

She just tried it out, and wow, it almost burned her delicate little hands.

"This fire...it's a bit too hot!"

The Empress, with a pained expression, called out to Lin Tian, ​​"You'd better go back to the water and wait a while. If this fire spreads, our entire forest will be doomed!"

Lin Tian also felt the fire was burning intensely, so hot that his tortoise shell was about to crack.

He didn't care about anything else at that moment and plunged back into the stream.

"thump!"

Water splashed everywhere, and Lin Tian's entire turtle sank into the water.

But as soon as he went in, he sensed something was wrong.

Why is the water getting hotter and hotter?

He looked down and, to his surprise, water was bubbling up around him, like water boiling.

Upon closer inspection, the once crystal-clear stream water had begun to turn murky, and several fish with their white bellies floating on the surface had appeared.

"What... what's going on?"

Lin Tian was completely dumbfounded. How did the fire end up burning the water?

He tentatively opened his mouth, as if to say something.

When he opened his mouth, a ball of fire suddenly shot out!

The flames were quite tenacious in the water, flickering several times before finally going out.

"I...I've turned into a fire-breathing kid?"

Lin Tian was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the sparks coming out of his mouth.

This fire is way too domineering!

It can catch fire even in water; if you put it on land, what would happen?

"Gurgling..."

The bubbles rose even more vigorously, and the stream water actually began to boil, like dumplings being cooked.

The water temperature around him rose rapidly, and Lin Tian felt like he was about to be boiled alive.

"Oh my god, this isn't a bath, it's like we're making turtle soup!"

Lin Tian let out a strange cry and quickly climbed out of the water.

If he stays here any longer, he'll turn into a boiled turtle.

Once ashore, Lin Tian quickly shook off the water, which made him feel a little cooler.

He looked down at himself; flames were still shooting out of his body, which looked truly frightening.

"What should we do now?"

Lin Tian was pacing around anxiously. If the fire got out of control, not only would it burn down the forest, but he himself would be roasted into a dried turtle!

"That's right, system!"

Lin Tian suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to the system in his mind.

"System, System, are you there? Come out and save me!"

"Ding!"

A crisp notification sound rang in Lin Tian's mind.

Then, a familiar system interface appeared before his eyes.

Lin Tian quickly checked and found that there was indeed a new character for "fire" in the attribute section.

Fire Attribute: Basic (Upgradeable)

"Abilities: Fire-breathing, Fire control (basic)"

"Description: This is a special ability gained after consuming fire lion meat and fire griffon feathers. It possesses powerful fire-type attack power, but the host's current abilities are limited and cannot be fully controlled."

"Holy crap! It really is fire-attribute!"

Lin Tian stared at the introduction, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Eating that fire lion meat was definitely worth it, as it actually awakened his fire attribute ability!

However, this ability is followed by "cannot be fully controlled," what does that mean?

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He tried to control the flames on his body, but he was shocked by what he found.

The flames wouldn't obey him at all, leaping wildly across his body and burning his tortoise shell until it was almost smoking.

"Oh my god, why is this fire indiscriminate in its attack?"

Lin Tian winced in pain; the fire burning on his body was truly excruciating!

"Brother, are you alright?"

When the Empress saw Lin Tian's appearance, she was so frightened that she almost cried.

"No...it's okay, I'll try again!"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and continued trying to control the flames on his body.

But the flames were like a wild horse, completely out of his control, leaping east and west, burning Lin Tian until he screamed in agony.

"Ouch, it's so hot!"

"Why is this fire so unruly!"

"What are we going to do now..."

Lin Tian was sweating profusely with anxiety. If the fire continued to burn like this, he would be burned to ashes.

"Stay calm, stay calm, you must stay calm!"

Lin Tian forced himself to calm down and began to recall the methods of controlling spiritual energy that the system had taught him before.

"Sink your Qi to your Dantian, and focus your mind on your spiritual platform..."

While silently reciting the incantation, Lin Tian tried to guide the spiritual energy in his body to his limbs and bones.

Strangely enough, as soon as he recited the incantation, Lin Tian felt that the flames on his body seemed to become more obedient and no longer ran wildly like before.

"There's a show!"

Lin Tian was overjoyed. He continued to circulate his spiritual energy, guiding the flames to flow within his body.

Slowly, slowly, the flames that were originally baring their fangs and claws actually began to become docile, like tamed little lambs, obediently following Lin Tian's will as they moved through his body.

"Phew... I finally got it under control!"

After a long while, Lin Tian let out a long breath, and the flames on his body gradually died down.

He looked down at his turtle shell and found that it was burned black and white in patches, making it look like a spotted turtle.

"This...this is so ugly!"

Lin Tian wore a bitter expression. Well, his strength had improved, but his looks had also declined.

"Brother, you're alright? That's great!"

When the Empress saw that the flames on Lin Tian's body had gone out, she excitedly ran over, hugged Lin Tian tightly, and almost burst into tears.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's all over now."

Lin Tian patted the Empress's head to comfort her.

"You ugly monster, you scared me to death!"

The Asura Goddess also came over, her tone carrying a hint of relief at surviving a calamity.

"Hehe, it's all right now!"

Lin Tian smiled, then pointed to the several cooked fish on the ground and said, "Come on, don't just stand there, try my cooking. This is authentic 'fire-grilled fish'!"
