Chapter 80: The Divine Hand Unlocks a New Copying Ability! The Fire Spirit Orb Doubles!
When Lin Tianming saw the fire spirit of the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider being struck dead and another fire spirit orb appearing, he also planned to reduce the orb to ashes.
Wang Yanran saw Lin Tianming's wasteful behavior and immediately shouted, "That’s the fire spirit orb left behind after the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider’s complete death. It’s extremely beneficial for an awakened one to become a god, don’t destroy it!"
[This rascal, he really doesn’t know its value!]
Hearing this, Lin Tianming immediately dissipated the last remaining power of the Purple Thunder Prison.
Holding the fire spirit orb in his palm, Lin Tianming carefully sensed the warm fire spirit power emanating from it as the demonic energy faded away, feeling a comforting warmth.
"This thing feels quite warm to hold."
Wang Yanran looked at the fire spirit orb in Lin Tianming's hand with a gaze full of desire.
"Junior Tianming, um... can I have a look at that fire spirit orb?"
Lin Tianming, hearing this, tossed the fire spirit orb to Wang Yanran.
"Here you go, Senior Yanran!"
Catching the fire spirit orb, Wang Yanran was delighted as she began to play with it.
[I thought I was doomed when we encountered the divine Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider that crawled out from the demonic tomb, but it was struggling against an unbroken seal and was significantly weakened, which turned out to be a big advantage for me!]
[Although this fire spirit orb was of no use to me after I became a god in my previous life, obtaining it now, before becoming a god, will certainly accelerate the restoration of my peak Fire God powers from my past life!]
Just as Wang Yanran was about to absorb the fire spirit orb on the spot, Lin Tianming’s voice shattered her fantasy.
"Senior Yanran, have you finished looking at it? If so, please return it to me."
Wang Yanran reluctantly looked at the fire spirit orb in her hand but, remembering that it was Lin Tianming who put in the effort to kill the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, she returned it to him.
"Here, Junior Tianming, it’s yours since you were the one who killed the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider..."
Seeing Wang Yanran obediently return the fire spirit orb, Lin Tianming smiled and said, "Senior Yanran, you said this fire spirit orb is extremely helpful for an awakened one to become a god, is that true?"
"To be precise, it’s beneficial for fire attribute awakened ones to become a god. Your ability is the Divine Hand, so its effect on you is minimal. At most, you could use it as a fire-spewing weapon."
[It’s not just minimal; you don’t have a fire attribute ability and can’t absorb it at all!]
Hearing Wang Yanran's inner thoughts, Lin Tianming felt somewhat regretful.
He couldn't absorb the fire spirit orb and could only use it as a weapon similar to an artifact?
During previous adventures with Ye Qingxue and Alice, he had obtained many artifacts.
If he couldn't absorb it, Lin Tianming didn’t mind giving it to Wang Yanran as a gesture of goodwill, further easing the tension between them and using it as a means to win her over.
Right now, he lacked nothing more than such artifacts!
However, as Lin Tianming hesitated whether to give the fire spirit orb to Wang Yanran, who was eagerly eyeing it, he noticed an unusual reaction from his Divine Hand.
Noticing the anomaly, Lin Tianming immediately focused his senses to understand what was happening.
When he sensed a strange connection between his Divine Hand's copying and plundering abilities with the fire spirit orb, Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that his Divine Hand could copy or even plunder the power of the fire spirit orb?
But his Divine Hand was only supposed to copy and plunder skills, so why was it reacting to the fire spirit orb as if it were a skill?
Faced with questions that mere contemplation couldn't answer, Lin Tianming decided to take action.
Divine Hand – Copy!
He first used the copying skill on the fire spirit orb, and to his astonishment, the orb split into two, both retaining the full power of the original orb.
Wang Yanran, witnessing this, was dumbfounded.
[How did the fire spirit orb become two?]
"What... what did you do to it?"
Faced with Wang Yanran's question, Lin Tianming snapped out of his surprise.
Looking at the two orbs, both retaining their power, Lin Tianming handed one to Wang Yanran.
"I just wanted to see if my Divine Hand could copy the fire spirit orb, and it worked. This one's for you, Senior Yanran!"
Hearing Lin Tianming's words, Wang Yanran felt a bit dazed as she accepted the fire spirit orb.
"Is this really possible?"
"I didn’t expect it to work, but since there are two now, one for you and one for me, it’s perfect!"
After responding to Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming again focused on the fire spirit orb in his hand, sensing the connection with his Divine Hand.
After successfully copying the fire spirit orb, he had used one instance of his copying ability.
Including the Phoenix Flame Shield copied during the fight and the pre-copied Forbidden Spell Purple Thunder Prison, Lin Tianming now had only one copying instance left.
Although he still had one copying instance left, the copying ability's connection with the fire spirit orb had vanished, leaving only the plundering ability's connection.
Lin Tianming's plundering ability allowed him to plunder four skills to learn, all of which he had already used.
Could he really continue to plunder?
If he could continue plundering, it would indicate that plundering the fire spirit orb’s power wouldn’t consume his copying instances but would be counted separately.
After a moment of thought, Lin Tianming's eyes focused again.
Plunder!
As the plundering was activated, the fire spirit orb in his hand emitted a dazzling fire spirit light and was absorbed into Lin Tianming’s body.
As the fire spirit orb was absorbed, his body was filled with pure god-level fire attribute power.
Having just come to terms with Lin Tianming's powerful ability to copy the fire spirit orb with his Divine Hand, Wang Yanran saw him absorbing the fire spirit orb and rubbed her temples, feeling she still needed time to process it all.
"You... you absorbed the fire attribute power contained in the fire spirit orb?"
"It seems so!" Lin Tianming felt the god-level fire power within him with delight.
[This... this rascal's Divine Hand is such a monstrous ability, to the point of absorbing fire spirit orbs that don't match his attribute!]
[This completely defies the common sense of awakened ones. Such element-based items born from the death of god-level demonic creatures should only be absorbable by corresponding element attribute awakened ones!]
[Monster... this rascal is a monster!]
Unable to comprehend why Lin Tianming could absorb the fire spirit orb, Wang Yanran still couldn’t help but ask, "So, do you feel any different after absorbing it? For example... awakening skills that only fire attribute awakened ones would?"
With Wang Yanran’s question, Lin Tianming carefully sensed if he had learned any new fire attribute skills.
After careful sensing, Lin Tianming found that he hadn’t learned any new fire attribute skills.
However, he did feel a sensation akin to the potential development he experienced under Jiang Han’s guidance, leading to a new skill.
Seizing the opportunity to understand this new skill, flames began to boil around him.
During this realization process, Lin Tianming's mind flashed with Wang Yanran’s Phoenix Flame Shield skill, and without using his copying ability, he managed to successfully perform the Phoenix Flame Shield again.
As he successfully cast the god-level growth skill Phoenix Flame Shield, the flames boiling around him gradually stabilized.
After witnessing Lin Tianming repeatedly create miracles beyond her understanding, Wang Yanran's mind was completely overwhelmed.
[Is this guy... really human?]
