Chapter 6: Confrontation with the Cat

Ling Feng took out the only normal book from the ring, titled "Introduction to Magic." After reading it, Ling Feng discovered that the book only discussed the essence of magic and how to sense magical elements, without detailing how to cast spells

Ling Feng swung his great sword at the kitten once more, but the result was the same; he didn't even graze the kitten's fur. The kitten's attacks were also evaded by Ling Feng, though this time he was scratched slightly by the cat's claws. Thus, the two continued their battle, with the kitten's speed rendering Ling Feng's attacks ineffective, while the kitten occasionally inflicted injuries on Ling Feng.

Ling Feng moved cautiously, diving underwater to pass the waterfall, and continued to swim along the river. He used the sound of the waterfall to mask his movements; in reality, he was simply drifting downstream with the current.

Time passed in their confrontation, and Ling Feng spent his time in the cave solely practicing Qi, with nothing else to do. During this period, Ling Feng confirmed one thing: this cat could survive without eating, as it could directly absorb the fire elements from the air. No wonder it loved sunlight so much; it was actually enjoying the fire elements emitted by the sun. It seems that the last time it was rescued, it had "eaten".

Ling Feng had no choice but to give up on learning magic and began to practice Qi. During his Qi training, he discovered that he had absorbed a significant amount of fire elements from the recent battle. He had just read an introductory book on magic, and from his understanding, magical elements were energy substances present in the air. By absorbing these substances and understanding them, one could utilize them.

Every day eating this thing makes Ling Feng feel nauseated, all thanks to Long Tian, who surprisingly did not bring any fire-starting tools to the wilderness. If only I had Princess Xue Rou's fire magic, wait... it seems there is a beginner's magic book in the ring. With my genius brain, it shouldn't be difficult to learn this.

Ling Feng has been in this cave for three months. A few days ago, his Proud Dragon Technique experienced another breakthrough. Recent calculations and analyses have indicated that he has a 50% chance of escaping. Therefore, Ling Feng plans to venture out today to give it a try

The kitten quickly realized it had been deceived and immediately turned to chase after Ling Feng. Ling Feng's speed was significantly higher now compared to before. The kitten, having learned to be clever, launched a fireball at Ling Feng when it was only 5 meters away. Ling Feng had no choice but to dodge, causing his movement to momentarily pause, and the kitten swiftly seized the opportunity to catch up.

Ling Feng decided to utilize the method of operating fighting energy to harness the fire element, as he believed that, in essence, fighting energy is also a form of energy, albeit one that transforms the body. To a certain extent, fighting energy can also be externalized like magic. Ling Feng gradually released the fire element within his body in the form of fighting energy, gathering it in his palm. Success; flames erupted from his palm.

Ling Feng can only pray that the kitten needs to eat, so it can escape when it goes to hunt. Otherwise, if this continues, its stamina will only deteriorate further

Ling Feng had not eaten for three days; during this time, he could only drink water. He wanted to find food, but the conditions did not permit it. The little cat was still guarding the waterfall. Ling Feng did not wish to take advantage of its inattention to sneak out and find something to eat, but to go out, he would inevitably have to pass through the waterfall and the library. The water from the waterfall would hinder his speed, and with the little cat's speed, he would be caught before reaching the forest if there was no open space. Although the third level of the Ao Long Jue could accelerate his speed, it was still completely insufficient. Without any open space, he would be caught by the little cat before reaching the forest.

Ling Feng's control over fire elements became increasingly proficient. Eventually, he directly manipulated the flames to melt down the great sword. Along with some metals from his spatial bag, he utilized his formula for manufacturing super alloys in the United States to create a Tang Dao. This Tang Dao features a sword-tip design similar to that of a sword, which was Ling Feng's favorite style when he learned about Tang Dao.

For a period of time thereafter, each day on the clearing by the waterfall, the silhouettes of a person and a cat engaged in a battle.

Ling Feng sat down to rest; the recent battle had truly exhausted him. He had used all his speed to evade, and he could not understand how that little cat, so small in stature, possessed such stamina. He took out the remaining sashimi from his spatial bag and slowly chewed on it. This sashimi was not processed but merely slices of raw fish filleted from the bone.

Why do wizards need to recite spells? They should hypnotize themselves to enhance their control. A wizard's meditation is essentially training their mental strength. In summary, magic is about using the mind to control the energy and matter in the air. The greater the mental strength, the more matter can be manipulated, and the higher the mental control, the larger the proportion of energy that can be effectively harnessed.

Ling Feng's spirit is different from others, and he easily finds the frequency that resonates with the fire element. In other words, Ling Feng can utilize these fire elements, but he does not know how to use them without the guidance of books

After finishing the fish, Ling Feng sat down to rest, preparing to continue battling with the kitten the next day. He needed to improve his martial skills, and having just exhausted his fire element, he found himself by the waterfall, where there was no fire element available. To consume cooked food, he had to replenish the fire element, and the best way to do so now was to absorb the fireballs from the kitten outside.

The little cat was outside, feeling gloomy as it thought about what had happened today. Something happened in the waterfall. When it came out, it was extremely excited, having waited for a full three months by the water's edge. It could not leave; if it did, that human would surely escape. It could sense that the human was looking for an opportunity to flee at every moment.

Although this Tang knife does not possess the extraordinary performance of super alloys due to insufficient materials, it is still quite impressive. A name has also been given to this Tang knife: Chui Xue. This is because he admires the character Ximen Chui Xue.

Ling Feng's eyes were fixed on the kitten, which remained motionless as it lay there. Is it asleep? This cat easily falls asleep under the sunlight

Finally caught up with this human, but unexpectedly, this human is so difficult to deal with. Although I have dodged his attacks, my own attacks have failed to hit the mark. In the end, I couldn't land a single hit. Clearly, his speed is slower than mine, yet it seems he knows exactly when I am about to attack, dodging with precision every time I strike.

Thus, every day, Ling Feng engaged in battles with the kitten, improving his martial arts and agility, while the kitten also made progress. In the end, both Ling Feng and the kitten forgot the reason for their battles, focusing instead on honing their skills daily

Ling Feng helplessly swam back to the cave, but this time he still had gains. While diving, he discovered that there were still fish in the river, and he had just caught one effortlessly. At the very least, his food problem was resolved, and now he just had to be patient with the little cat.

Ling Feng understood that this world operates on the principle of the survival of the fittest, so he did not rush to leave. Instead, he continued to train with the little cat in this monster forest until he deemed it appropriate to exit the forest

However, to harness these elements, one's spirit must be in sync with them, meaning that the spirit must resonate with the frequency of the magical elements. A magician perceives the magical elements by resonating with them, and achieving closeness to the magical elements signifies the success of this resonance. Generally, individuals possess more than one resonant frequency.

Ling Feng had no choice but to draw his great sword and strike at the kitten. The kitten easily dodged, using its claws to attack Ling Feng. Although Ling Feng's speed could not match that of the kitten, he calculated the kitten's attack trajectory and points of force, thus narrowly avoiding the attack.

A kitten guarding the waterfall suddenly saw an object flying out from the waterfall, and it chased after it. At the moment it rushed over, another object flew out from the waterfall, heading in the opposite direction. This object was Ling Feng, and the first thing was a piece of "garbage" from his spatial bag.

When the kitten pounced on the object, it realized that it was not like that human. At that moment, something flew out of the waterfall, and it knew it had been deceived by that human once again. Therefore, it immediately turned around to chase after the human and unleashed a fireball from a safe distance

When he thought he had succeeded by crossing over the kitten, he continued to hold his breath and submerged in the water. When he ran out of breath and surfaced to take a breath, a fireball came flying towards him. Ling Feng immediately submerged again, but some of his hair was still burned off. Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have been disfigured.

Ling Feng placed the fish on his palm, and it immediately burned. He had not yet mastered the timing, so he tried again. Soon, Ling Feng skillfully controlled the size and temperature of the flame. He successfully enjoyed the cooked fish.

Ling Feng understood that the heavy weapon, the great sword, was of no use at all, so he returned it to his spatial bag. Without the great sword, Ling Feng moved more fluidly. The kitten's attacks gradually became ineffective, and both sides continued to wear each other down. Ling Feng purposefully moved the battlefield to the waterfall, and as he approached the waterfall, he once again jumped into the cave where he had stayed for three months

The kitten is a sophisticated magical beast, possessing a certain level of intelligence. It is currently contemplating improvements to its combat strategies, which would demonstrate that it has such capabilities, and they are not insignificant.

The little cat can now only escape under the Snowstorm Sword. Once, it was chasing Ling Feng, but now it is exhausted from being struck by Ling Feng's swordsmanship. However, the little cat cannot leave Ling Feng for two reasons. First, under Ling Feng's stimulation, it evolved from a level 7 magical beast to a level 8. Being clever, it knows that it can evolve again by staying close to Ling Feng. The second and most important reason is that Ling Feng can cook fish, and it smells delicious. Ever since the little cat had it once, it now eats it three times a day, two pieces each time. This situation has led Ling Feng to have the illusion that this cat is an ordinary house cat.
