“Step…”

Qin Lang’s steps faltered slightly, his face etching a look of surprise.

What Mr. Lu Dong just said completely exceeded his expectations.

Originally, Qin Lang thought that the Capturing Fire Secret Technique was categorized as a Three Stars secret technique, so the original version should at least be Four-star.

Considering that Mr. Lu Dong used the phrase “super simplified”, it is likely to be a Five-star technique.

However, the description that Mr. Lu Dong gave of that technique far surpassed Qin Lang’s imagination.

Ranking in the top ten among all techniques?

A Five-star technique definitely couldn’t achieve that!

Although Qin Lang doesn’t know much about secret techniques, his intuition tells him that even the Six-star technique doesn’t deserve such a ranking.

So… is it Seven-star?!

“Mr. Lu Dong, is that technique a Seven-star technique?! Can Dan Bao learn it?” Qin Lang hurriedly stepped up to keep pace with the non-stopping Lu Dong, asking anxiously.

“I’m sorry, but no.” Lu Dong shook his head.

Qin Lang’s gaze instantly dimmed.

That makes sense. Mr. Lu Dong’s willingness to teach the Capturing Fire Secret Technique doesn’t mean that he would also be willing to teach the more powerful and valuable techniques. He was being too greedy.

“I’m sorry,” Qin Lang apologized shamefacedly.

“It seems you misunderstood something.” Sensing the hidden emotional undertones in Qin Lang’s voice, Lu Dong stopped, turned around, and looked at Qin Lang. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to teach you, but it’s because I don’t know how to.”

“Strictly speaking, that technique has been lost.”

“Huh?!” Qin Lang scratched his head.

Lost?

That’s even worse than Mr. Lu Dong being unwilling to teach it!

If Mr. Lu Dong is unwilling to teach, he could still find ways to change his mind. But how can he obtain a technique that’s already lost? freewēbnoveℓ.com

On the side, Dan Bao also went through the emotional rollercoaster and now bore a face of disappointment. If the spicy light bubbles were still on its head, they would probably start changing colors at this moment.

“You’re right, that technique is indeed a Seven-star technique.” Lu Dong nodded slightly, “In fact, with the development and prosperity of techniques, a total of seventeen Seven-star techniques have appeared.”

“And without exception, all these Seventeen Seven-star techniques were buried in the dust of history.”

“Huh?” Qin Lang blinked.

What does that mean?

Have all the Seven-star techniques been lost?

“The decline of Secret Techniques is partly because the threshold to learn Combined Battle Skills is comparatively lower and each Food Spirit has unique Combined Battle Skills. But the bigger reason lies in the loss of powerful secret techniques.”

“Not just the Seven-star ones, even the Six-star techniques have almost completely perished.” Lu Dong shook his head.

“Don’t ask me why they’ve become lost. I don’t know either. It’s as though they suddenly disappeared one day. Everyone who knew them forgot about them and all the texts recording them mysteriously vanished.”

Qin Lang’s expression hardened.

Listening to this, there seemed to be a profound secret hidden within.

Knowing that he couldn’t glean more from Lu Dong, Qin Lang swiftly changed the topic. “Mr. Lu Dong, then why did you bring me to the Refining Fire Hall?” “The Refining Fire Hall?” Lu Dong shook his head. “We’re not going to the Refining Fire Hall this time.”

“We’ve already arrived.”

Already arrived?

Qin Lang was baffled.

If he wasn’t mistaken, they were probably still in the middle of the corridor, a fair distance from the Refining Fire Hall beneath them.

Without giving him a chance to ask, Lu Dong touched the Yan Yao Stones embedded in the walls around him, quickly identifying one and pressing it hard.

With a rumble that left Qin Lang flabbergasted, a secret door appeared on one side of the corridor, like a pre-carved path branching off.

“Such a long corridor, there has to be something else in it.” Lu Dong coughed lightly, a calm expression on his face as he said, “Follow me. There’s something you want to know inside, although not much.”

Something I want to know… that Seven-star technique?!

Without saying a word, Qin Lang followed Lu Dong swiftly.

After walking a few hundred meters down the forked path, a door appeared in front of them.

With a key, Lu Dong unlocked the door and led Qin Lang inside.

The space behind the door wasn’t large, only about the size of a study, filled with several bookshelves neatly stacked with various documents and books. Judging from the texture of the paper, some were quite old.

“Wait for me for a moment.” Lu Dong walked familiarly to a bookshelf and began to search for something.

Qin Lang stood in place, his heart pounding with anticipation.

“Alt, found it!” Soon, Lu Dong pulled out a metal box from the corner of the top shelf, quickly approaching Qin Lang and handing it to him. “You can look through it in here.”

“Alright.” Qin Lang carefully took it.

The metal box wasn’t locked, and he easily opened it to reveal a few sheets of paper lying quietly within.

The paper had been worn thin by time, appearing exceptionally fragile. Qin Lang even suspected that the moment he picked them up, they would crumble to dust.

These sheets of paper contained rows of hand-written records.

The style of writing contained a prominent ancient feel, but it did not affect readability.

Just by looking at the opening on the first page, Qin Lang’s pupils abruptly dilated.

“Technique- Firestorm, Seven-star level, once mastered, grants immunity to all types of flame-type battle skills damage and converts the damage caused by flame-type battle skills into a source of power.”

“This technique significantly enhances one’s own flame-type battle skill damage and instantly restores one’s condition to its peak when activated.”

Firestorm…

Is this the true form of the Capturing Fire Secret Technique?

From this passage’s introduction, the two do seem to share some similarities.

But like Mr. Lu Dong said, the gap between the two is too large. Describing it as a “super simplified version” is not overstatement at all.

Qin Lang reached out to flip the page and see what content was on the back, but he was stopped by Lu Dong.

“Use Thought Waves to flip the page.” Lu Dong pointed at Dan Bao.

Understood, Qin Lang immediately asked Dan Bao to do it.

Seeing the content on the first page, Dan Bao was similarly excited. It held its breath, concentrating all its attention on executing Thought Waves to gently manipulate the paper to slowly turn over.

The content on the second page appeared before Qin Lang.

Then, the third page, and the fourth page.

Unfortunately, these pages made no mention of the learning process of the Firestorm Technique or any training details.

However, he did notice that there were large blank spaces between a portion of the paragraphs, as if intentionally left blank by the author.

Recalling what Mr. Lu Dong mentioned earlier, a horrifying answer surfaced in Qin Lang’s mind.

Perhaps this notebook originally contained something else, but it was erased by some mysterious power.

What was left were just brief introductions to the Firestorm Technique and relations between the Firestorm Technique and the Capturing Fire Secret Technique.

There was still one thing that greatly encouraged Qin Lang.

The notebook mentioned that someone who mastered the Capturing Fire Secret Technique had a minuscule chance of gaining insight into the Firestorm Technique in reverse. This required incredible talent and a certain amount of luck. Currently, there were no successful cases.

Obviously, Dan Bao had already taken the first step!
