Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 23: Micro Fireball Technique

The black cat was originally lying on a tree branch, but now it quickly stood up and stared without blinking at the light coming through the window.

Vaguely, a very blurry black shadow could be discerned, projecting onto the glass surface and constantly changing shape, as if someone was moving inside the house.

After a few moments, the light became slightly brighter.

A snake-like black shadow suddenly appeared on the glass.

The black cat immediately widened its eyes.

It remembered something Cheng Han had said - there are several botanical gardens in the school, and the mastermind specifically targeted the soft silk vine. He was likely studying the vines.

The black cat leaned its head forward slightly, becoming more focused.

Could this snake-like shadow be a vine?

It felt that the possibility was very high!

After a while, the black cat observed a new change.

A figure was walking back and forth in the room, and it didn't know what he was doing. The surface of the shadow bulged, rapidly expanding like a balloon.

The shadow quickly transformed and no longer resembled a snake.

The black cat was a bit confused.

Could it have guessed wrong? Is this not a vine?

In the next moment, the black cat suddenly realized.

Leaves!

The vine had grown leaves!

A hint of astonishment appeared in the black cat's eyes.

So the other person can make the vine grow rapidly.

Half an hour passed.

The light completely disappeared, and the window was once again engulfed in darkness.

The black cat patiently waited for a while, but there was still no movement in the house.

It understood that the other person should have gone to bed.

The black cat stood up and decided to go home to report to its owner.

The owner had said that tonight was just the first reconnaissance, and it must not risk entering the house. Once the other person's background was clear, the next plan could be formulated.

This was called "not fighting an unprepared battle."

The black cat carefully climbed down from the tree and quickly walked away.

2 a.m.

Cheng Han used the All-Knowing Eye to analyze the sun again.

The completeness of the True Flame Mark increased to 1.88%, and the proficiency of the skill also increased to 112/1000.

"Snap!"

Cheng Han snapped his fingers, and a small orange flame appeared at his fingertip.

Compared to before, the flame was much deeper in color.

This meant that the temperature had increased.

Naturally, the power was stronger.

An idea popped into Cheng Han's mind, "Right, I can test the temperature of the flame."

Although he didn't have a thermometer, it didn't matter.

As an engineering student, he wouldn't be stumped by such a small problem.

Cheng Han found a pair of pliers, clamped a nail, and held it above the flame. The nail visibly turned dark red at a rapid speed.

And dark red iron had a temperature between 600 to 700 degrees.

Cheng Han smirked, "The nail turned red so quickly, the heating speed is abnormally fast. Truly worthy of being an extraordinary flame!"

He extinguished the flame and thought to himself, "An extraordinary ability that ordinary people can only dream of, and yet I use it every day to cook. It's really not living up to its potential."

"In this world, there are foreign gods and their followers causing trouble everywhere. I must explore the practical combat techniques of the extraordinary flame in order to have some self-defense."

Cheng Han immediately thought of the most common game skill - Fireball Technique.

He chuckled and said, "In the future, when encountering enemies, I'll start with a fireball spell to let them feel the passion of this young master. Just thinking about it feels great."

However, ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

Cheng Han's face turned red as he concentrated and formed a sesame-sized fireball.

Hmm, perhaps calling it a spark would be more appropriate.

He tried several times, but the "super micro fireball" only flew a little over two meters before losing control and dispersing into a ball of flames.

Cheng Han shook his head helplessly and said, "Then I can only go for close combat."

He struck a rather cheesy pose and shouted, "Take my Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms!"

Just then,

A small wooden board in the corner of the roof was suddenly pushed open, and a black cat's head poked out from inside.

This is a small door specifically for the sheriff.

The black cat happened to come back at this moment.

"Meow~"

It let out a confused meow, as if asking, "What are you doing?"

The man and the cat stared at each other, and the air froze.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Cheng Han had excellent mental resilience and calmly thrust his right palm forward while shouting, "Dragon Soars and Regrets!"

At the same time, he activated the True Flame Seal.

With the motion of his palm, a bright burst of fire erupted out of thin air, forming a splendid arc of flames that quickly dissipated.

Seeing this scene, the black cat widened its round eyes once again.

Just now, it thought its owner was a bit silly, but now it thought he was amazing.

Cheng Han smiled and asked, "Is it cool?"

This move was not only cool, but also had considerable destructive power. If an ordinary person were hit by the flames, they would definitely be burned to a crisp, most likely beyond saving.

"Meow~"

The black cat's meow was filled with disbelief.

Cheng Han beckoned to the sheriff and said, "Come down quickly."

The black cat leaped, its front paws landing on the opposite wall. Using the recoil, it jumped back and landed smoothly on the ground.

To be honest, jumping down so cleanly from a height of nearly three meters was quite cool.

Cheng Han asked, "Did you find anything?"

The black cat nodded, "Meow!"

Cheng Han extended a finger and instructed, "Concentrate and recall the most crucial information you remember."

After completing the restoration of the Spirit Control Seal, not only could it transmit information to the black cat, but it could also directly extract information from its mind, enabling two-way communication.

The black cat jumped onto the sofa and let out a meow, indicating that it was ready.

Cheng Han took a deep breath and activated the seal with his mind, pointing his finger at the sheriff's forehead.

In an instant, he received the black cat's memories.

From the appearance of the black shadow at the window of that building to the complete darkness of the window, every detail was included without any omissions.

Cheng Han praised, "Well done!"

The black cat wagged its tail happily.

Cheng Han rubbed its head and said, "Your judgment was spot on. The black shadow projected on the glass was indeed a vine."

He sighed, "The silk vine in the school botanical garden turned into a grass dog, and now there are vines appearing in Qianzi's house. This is definitely not a coincidence. It seems that this guy is indeed the mastermind behind it all."

Originally, he only had suspicions and couldn't be completely certain.

Now he had irrefutable evidence.

The black cat looked up at its owner and meowed several times.

It was asking, "What else do you need me to do?"

Cheng Han pondered for a moment and instructed, "Tomorrow, help me catch a few birds. I need smaller-sized birds, preferably no larger than a palm."

The black cat was puzzled, "Meow~"

Yesterday, its owner clearly said not to catch birds, so why did he change his mind?
