Chapter 176: Huo Wu's Surprise
After finishing his conversation with Shui Yue'er, Lin Mo immediately stood up and walked toward the table occupied by Chihuo Academy.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu had already finished their meal. When they saw Lin Mo approaching, confusion flashed through their eyes.
Lin Mo went straight to the point.
"Classmate Huo Wu, are you free this afternoon?"
Huo Wu was taken aback for a moment before nodding.
"I'm free. What's the matter?"
"I would like to invite you to the fire attribute mimicry cultivation environment to help Charizard and me test the effects of a Spirit Ability."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area grew noticeably quieter.
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment. After receiving a prompt from her brother, she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Sure."
She was very curious about what kind of Spirit Ability Lin Mo needed another person to help him test.
However, Lin Mo's actions immediately aroused Feng Xiaotian's vigilance.
Feng Xiaotian was sitting at Shenfeng Academy's table, his eyes firmly fixed on Lin Mo and Huo Wu as he muttered inwardly.
You already have two girlfriends. You aren't planning to come over and steal Huo Wu from me too, are you?
He had liked Huo Wu for quite some time, and this was practically common knowledge among the Four Element Academies.
Seeing Lin Mo take the initiative to invite Huo Wu somewhere, alarm bells immediately rang in Feng Xiaotian's mind.
Lin Mo naturally had no idea what Feng Xiaotian was thinking.
Otherwise, he would definitely have rolled his eyes at him.
The reason he had invited Huo Wu to assist with the test was simple.
Huo Wu was a fire attribute Spirit Master. She had developed her Spirit Abilities to a high level and possessed strong control over the fire element.
She was a qualified test subject.
The Spirit Ability Lin Mo wanted to test was naturally Charizard's third Spirit Ability, Sunny Day.
Lin Mo had no intention of concealing this Spirit Ability.
After all, a pseudo Domain type enhancement Spirit Ability like Sunny Day was different from something like Dragon Dance, which could be hidden through various methods.
Sunny Day was similar to the Teleportation effect attached to Space Battlefield. Whenever Lin Mo used it, anyone who witnessed it would certainly remember it.
Teleportation could still be concealed and reserved as a final trump card, but Sunny Day was one of Charizard's commonly used Spirit Abilities. There was simply no way to keep it hidden forever.
Since that was the case, it was better to display it openly.
What Lin Mo wanted to test with Huo Wu's assistance was how much enhancement Sunny Day could provide to fire attribute users other than Charizard.
After all, very few fire attribute Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts had ever experienced the enhancements brought by Charizard's Sunny Day.
The last one to benefit from it had been the Sun Worm King that provided Charizard's fifth spirit ring.
It was impossible for Lin Mo to dig up the dead Sun Worm King, whip its corpse, and ask how Sunny Day had felt.
Moreover, after this period of cultivation, Charizard's mastery of Sunny Day had reached a deeper level.
However, to determine exactly how far that mastery had progressed, a fire attribute Spirit Master needed to experience its effects personally and provide an accurate judgment.
This would also help Charizard continue developing Sunny Day in the future.
Huo Wu was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Inside Heaven Dou Royal Academy's fire attribute mimicry cultivation environment, Lin Mo and Huo Wu walked side by side, while Charizard followed behind them and curiously observed its surroundings.
Huo Wu stopped and turned to look at Lin Mo.
"Lin Mo, what Spirit Ability do you need me to help test?"
"Charizard's third Spirit Ability, Sunny Day."
Lin Mo continued, "What I need you to test is Sunny Day's specific enhancement effect on fire attribute Spirit Masters, as well as how precisely Charizard can currently control that enhancement."
"More specifically, I need to know the percentage of the enhancement, its exact effects, and how those effects change when Charizard adjusts the Spirit Ability."
Huo Wu listened carefully, nodding from time to time.
Her perception of the fire attribute was extremely sharp, making her an excellent candidate for the test.
"I understand," Huo Wu said. "Let's begin."
Lin Mo nodded.
Charizard understood and stepped forward two paces before letting out a low roar.
Its third spirit ring suddenly lit up, and dazzling golden light erupted from its body.
An incomparably blazing golden sphere was spat from Charizard's mouth. It rapidly rose into the air and hovered above the center of the cultivation ground.
The golden sphere released endless light and heat, instantly enveloping the entire fire attribute mimicry cultivation environment.
Sunny Day was activated.
However, the moment Charizard released Sunny Day, Huo Wu froze.
She stood in place and tilted her head slightly, feeling the warmth of the golden sunlight falling across her body.
The next moment, an expression of extreme comfort appeared on her face.
Powerful.
That was Huo Wu's first impression.
Although Sunny Day was only Charizard's third Spirit Ability, the enhancement it provided was extraordinarily powerful.
She could feel that her own fire attribute had received an enhancement of at least fifty percent.
The speed at which her spirit power circulated had clearly increased, and even her flames had become far more active.
Moreover, while standing within Sunny Day's range, Huo Wu felt as though her fire attribute itself had begun to grow purer.
It felt as though the impurities within her body were being removed little by little beneath the golden sunlight.
She became immersed in that wonderful sensation and could not recover for a long time.
Lin Mo waited for a while.
Seeing that Huo Wu was still absorbed in the experience, he sent Charizard another instruction through their mental connection.
Adjust Sunny Day's effect.
Charizard understood.
The golden sphere hovering in the air trembled slightly, and subtle changes began to appear in the light it released.
The temperature inside the cultivation ground remained extremely high, but the enhancement falling upon Huo Wu had clearly weakened.
Huo Wu, who had been immersed in the experience, immediately froze. Her beautiful eyes widened.
She could clearly perceive that the enhancement Sunny Day provided to her had fallen significantly.
It had decreased from approximately fifty percent to around twenty percent.
A twenty percent enhancement was still far from weak.
However, after experiencing a fifty percent increase, returning to twenty percent was extremely difficult to accept.
The contrast felt like falling from the peak of a mountain to its middle, leaving an empty sensation in her heart.
"You can actively control the enhancement percentage of this Spirit Ability?"
Huo Wu turned to Lin Mo and asked in astonishment.
Lin Mo nodded.
"You could say that. Charizard's mastery of Sunny Day is not yet complete. At present, it can only make rough adjustments, and this is currently the limit of its control."
Huo Wu took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.
She carefully sensed the enhancement affecting her body once more.
Twenty percent was still quite powerful, but compared to the fifty percent enhancement from before, it was indeed much weaker.
Moreover, Huo Wu had a feeling that if she could frequently cultivate beneath Sunny Day, there was a considerable chance that her fire attribute would gradually become purer.
After realizing this, the gaze Huo Wu directed toward Lin Mo and Charizard immediately became heated.
