Chapter 25 Promotion Sequence 6: The Fire Stealer

Xu Lie himself never expected that he would complete the role and thoroughly digest the decryption scholar in this way.

This is outrageous! Speculating that Xia Mi was influenced by himself in the past, and that's considered a decryption?
Originally, the scholar was trying to decipher the potion, but due to his recent high-intensity self-discipline in studying alchemy, he has already digested 80% of it.

Read a few more books and do a few more alchemical experiments, and you'll be able to digest it all without any problems.

We only know the reason for Xia Mi's slight change now; the last two parts will be digested ahead of time.

That's too easy!

But the potion certainly doesn't lie; the message emanating from the spiritual energy unequivocally indicates that Xu Lie can begin his advancement to Sequence 6 Fire Thief.

In this situation, Xu Lie could only sigh, "I didn't expect Xia Mi to be of such a high status."

The preparatory class clone couldn't help but complain: "Come on, Teacher Da Ye may be a bit weak, but his rank is definitely the same as Fenrir's, okay?"

"You've essentially unlocked a secret of a high-ranking figure, so it's no wonder that scholars who study decryption are doing so."

"I remember it was mentioned in the original book that Teacher Da Ye set his sights on Chu Zihang because of Odin's Nibelungen mark."

"Then, after long-term observation, a certain resonance arose."

Xu Lie, in his true form, nodded to himself in the hotel: "If I remember correctly, that's how it is."

"At that time, it seemed that it was because of Chu Zihang's loneliness that Xia Mi, as the Dragon King, was hiding in human society and even had to infiltrate a dragon-slaying school like the Kassel Preparatory Class, which also made her feel extremely lonely."

"That's why there was an emotional resonance."

Upon hearing this, the preparatory class clone completely understood everything: "In other words, the original body was also lonely before its memories were awakened, and now Teacher Da Ye's resonance object has changed to us?"

"I'll look back at my memories later," Xu Lie said, unconcerned about the minor issue of his clone from the preparatory class. "That's all for now."

"I'm busy with my promotion. I need to steal a bottle of wine from the innkeeper. The Fire Thief's potion requires the wine I just stole as an ingredient, so I'm hanging up now."

He hung up impatiently after saying that, completely disregarding the preparatory class clone's current mental state.

Xu Lie was somewhat relieved that he had managed to steal the precious materials for Sequence 6 potions from the preparatory class's alchemy classroom early on.

The alchemy classroom in the preparatory course could no longer provide even the best potion ingredients.

If you want to be promoted to Rank 5 in the future, you need to prepare the materials in advance.

While pondering how to obtain materials in the future, he successfully stole the hotel owner's drinks.

Fortunately, the Fire Stealer's Potion only required 100 milliliters of alcohol, so Xu Lie managed to put the bottle cap back on and kindly returned it to the shopkeeper.

Back in his room, Xu Lie first tidied up the alchemy books and notes scattered on the table, then gently raised his hand and tapped his temples.

A transparent worm crawled out from inside, twisting and stretching in mid-air, and soon another 'Xu Lie' appeared in the room.

Xu Lie held a parasitic talisman in his hand as a precaution, ready to protect his true form.

Xu Lie himself took out the materials and began to prepare the Fire Stealer's Potion.

As more ingredients are added, a potion that is red and yellow, like a dreamlike flame, is eventually formed.

The illusory flames even flickered, much like real flames, but Xu Lie didn't care. He treated it like drinking Chinese medicine, closing his eyes and drinking it all in one gulp.

The soul seemed to feel the burning of the illusory flames, becoming more active, but also experiencing a burning pain at the soul level.

After enduring that, the familiar tyrannical emotions of the dragons will return, which I won't go into detail about.

After everything calmed down, 'Xu Lie' placed the talisman in front of his main body, which then transformed into the Time Worm and returned to his main body.

A few seconds later, Xu Lie opened his eyes with satisfaction, feeling the fire-stealer's new abilities.

The Thief's Path: The first three sequences are just simple foundations; it is only after reaching Sequence 6 that the first qualitative change is achieved.

Leaving aside the moderate increases in strength, speed, and spirituality, the Sequence 6 Fire Thief already possesses the core ability of this path: the ability to steal the extraordinary abilities of others.

Within a 50-meter range, one can steal a target's extraordinary abilities or remotely steal items from the target.

Of course, in the Dragon Raja universe, a Sequence 6 Fire Thief is equivalent to someone who can steal another's Words of Power from a distance.

Xu Lie can hold the stolen Word of Power for a maximum of ten minutes; after ten minutes, the stolen Word of Power will disappear.

However, for the person whose word was stolen, it will be sealed and will not be unsealed until 24 hours later.

With this kind of skill, stealing from lower-ranked opponents basically guarantees a crushing victory.

If you want to steal from a higher-ranking opponent, the greater the difference in rank between you, the easier it is to fail.

Of course, if you understand the target's capabilities, the chances of successfully stealing it will increase accordingly.

Another small bonus is that it can easily pinpoint the location, value, and type of valuable items within 50 meters.

In the first three sequences, Xu Lie could only engage in minor skirmishes, but now, at sequence 6, he finally has the ability to confront enemies head-on.

Many plans that were in the works can finally be put into action.

For example, the main campus of Kassel College in Chicago, or Japan, where the Snake Clan is located.

Places that Xu Lie couldn't easily go to before due to insufficient ability are now places he has the right to venture into.

Xu Lie did not act immediately, but first arranged the ceremony.

I plan to try and see if, after being promoted to Fire Thief, I can use the authority of the Source Castle to preemptively utilize the deception ability of Sequence 3 of this path to deceive my mentor.

Deceiving the mentor is a further development of the Sequence 8 fraudster's abilities, which are now capable of deceiving nature and the rules.

For example, if the power suddenly goes out while playing games, you can fool your desktop computer into thinking you still have power, and continue playing games.

For example, a candle might burn for an hour and then be finished, but after being deceived, it could burn for a week.

If this ability could be used in advance, Xu Lie felt he could basically do whatever he wanted in the Dragon Clan world.

Xu Lie, looking at the deceptive talisman in front of him, didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he used Six Gods Floral Water for a simple ritual once again.

Good news, the ceremony was a success, and he can still access Sequence 3 abilities in advance.

The bad news is that the deception ability is too flexible and cannot be contained in a single talisman, which has significant limitations.

As mentioned earlier with the examples of power outages and candles, for talismans that grant pre-emptive abilities, only one type can be chosen.

If one chooses to deceive the power supply, then the spell is limited to power supply and can no longer deceive anything else.

This really frustrated Xu Lie. No wonder the high-sequence characters in the Mysterious Realm hardly used any talismans anymore.

The more powerful an ability is, the more versatile it is; it is indeed difficult for a single talisman to contain such a versatile ability.

After much deliberation, Xu Lie decided to create a talisman that could deceive the distance.

The principle is that if you are at point A in nature, Xu Lie can deceive nature by saying that you are actually at point B, thereby deceiving nature and achieving spatial movement.

With the help of this talisman, we can completely bypass the surveillance of Kaselnoma and Princess Kaguya of the Snake Clan, and reach their heartland without any means of transportation.

Xu Lie resumed the ritual, this time drawing upon his ability to create clones again.

Currently, apart from Huang Tiekou, the parasitized entity, all the clones are still in Sequence 7.

He's a bit out of touch with the current version; he needs a Sequence 6 clone to be released and execute the plan.

　Successfully signed the contract, thanks to Zheyu for bringing it on!
