"Grilled fish? That name sounds so weird." The Goddess of Asura curled her lip, looking at the fish whose eyes were rolling back in their heads from being boiled, with a look of disgust. "Can this stuff even be eaten? You ugly monster, are you trying to poison us?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! This is a delicious meal that I 'carefully prepared'!" Lin Tian proudly tossed his head. "Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

As he spoke, he first tore off a piece of fish with his paw, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. "Hmm, the taste is really not bad, but it's a bit overcooked, the fish is all tough."

The empress looked at the fish and hesitated. She cautiously leaned closer to smell it. It smelled burnt and had a faint fishy smell mixed in. It didn't smell very good.

"Brother, are you sure... this fish is okay?" The Empress was still a little worried.

"What could be wrong? It's just cooked!" Lin Tian said dismissively. "Besides, in this desolate place, we should be grateful for anything hot. Why be picky?"

"Awoo..." The little black bear didn't think too much about it. It went over and swallowed a fish in one gulp without even chewing.

"Look, Little Black has eaten it all, what are you still afraid of?" Lin Tian said, pointing at the little black bear.

Seeing this, the Empress had no choice but to bite into a bite.

"Huh? The taste... is actually pretty good!" The Empress's eyes lit up. Although the fish didn't look very appealing, it tasted unexpectedly delicious, and there was even a faint trace of spiritual energy in it.

"Haha, I knew it!" Lin Tian laughed smugly. "This fish was grilled by me with 'real fire,' how could it not be delicious?"

"You're just bragging!" Although the Goddess of Asura was unconvinced, she couldn't help but take a bite.

"Hmm, I must say, this fish is quite delicious!" the Asura Goddess mumbled between bites.

"That's right, look who baked it!" Lin Tian was even more smug.

A few people... oh no, a few turtles and a bear, gathered together and happily enjoyed this special "fire-grilled fish" feast.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Tian patted his round belly and began to ponder his new ability.

"Breathe fire... How do you use this thing?" Lin Tian scratched his head. He tried opening his mouth, imagining a ball of fire inside, and then forcefully exhaling!

"call!"

A fireball the size of a fist shot out of Lin Tian's mouth, flew several meters away, crashed into a tree, and burned a black hole in the trunk.

"Holy crap! It really can breathe fire!" Lin Tian was startled; its power was far greater than that of a lighter!

"Brother Cheapie, you...you really turned into a fire turtle!" The Empress was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had ever seen a turtle breathe fire. This was even more amazing than the divine turtles in the stories!

"Haha, of course!" Lin Tian laughed smugly. "If anyone dares to mess with me in the future, I'll breathe fire on them and kill them!"

He tried a few more times and found that he could control the size and power of the fireballs he spewed, and he could even aim them at the target, as if they had eyes.

"That's great! I'm not afraid of those fire-breathing beasts anymore!" Lin Tian said excitedly. "Next time I see that fire griffin, I'm going to roast it like a chicken!"

"Oh right, I can also control fire!" Lin Tian suddenly remembered something. He concentrated and tried to control the surrounding flames.

The flames on the trees that were still burning slowly went out, as if they had been extinguished with a fire extinguisher.

"Haha, it worked!" Lin Tian jumped up excitedly. "My fire control ability is absolutely top-notch for putting out fires!"

The Empress also tested her water control ability. With a wave of her little paw, the water in the nearby stream suddenly flew up and turned into a water ball in the air.

Then, with a thought, the water ball transformed into a water dragon, swirling and dancing in the air, looking incredibly lifelike.

"Cheap brother, look how amazing I am!" the Empress said proudly, as she was becoming more and more proficient at controlling water.

"Amazing! Amazing!" Lin Tian nodded repeatedly. "From now on, if the two of us join forces, one of us will set fires and the other will flood the area. We'll be absolutely invincible!"

"Tch, who wants to team up with you!" The Empress turned her head away arrogantly.

"Haha!" Lin Tian laughed, but didn't say anything.

"Hmph, all he does is show off."

The Asura Goddess, watching Lin Tian and the Empress showing off, felt a pang of jealousy.

She looked down at her dark tortoise shell, then at her short, thick limbs, and then thought that apart from her hard shell and strong body, she really didn't have any special abilities.

"Why?! That's not fair!" The Goddess of Asura grew angrier the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but complain, "One can breathe fire, the other can control water, so I'm the only one who can't do anything! What am I? A fire poker!"

She angrily plopped down on the ground, making a small dent in the floor.

"I wish I had some special ability, like being able to fly, like that fire griffin!" The Asura Goddess gazed at the sky and muttered to herself.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head self-deprecatingly: "Come on, with my physique, it's no wonder I can't fly, unless the sun rises in the west!"

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, so she simply retracted her head and limbs into her shell to avoid seeing or hearing about it.

"Sigh, it's really like comparing turtles to each other, it's infuriating!" The Goddess of Asura sighed from inside the turtle shell, "Why am I so unlucky!"

Once she retreated, she never came out again.

After showing off for a while, Lin Tian and the Empress got bored and each found a place to rest.

The little black bear obediently lay down next to Lin Tian and fell fast asleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed when the Asura Goddess suddenly felt a surge of heat within her body. This heat flowed along her limbs and meridians, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling wherever it went.

"What... what's going on?" Inside the tortoise shell, the Goddess of Asura was surprised to find that she could clearly sense the presence of this heat flow and even control its flow within her body!

"Could it be... could it be that I'm about to break through?" The Goddess of Asura's heart stirred. She suddenly remembered what Lin Tian had mentioned about breaking through.

It is said that when animals break through to a higher level, a powerful energy is generated within their bodies, which can help them awaken special abilities.

"Could it be that I'm about to awaken a special ability?" The Asura Goddess became more and more excited as she thought about it. She quickly concentrated her mind and guided the heat flow towards her dantian.

She is determined to break through the bottleneck and become a turtle with special abilities!
