Lord of Enigma

The bedroom on the second floor was dark, with all the curtains drawn by Tang Qj. The abuzz that occurred during the last breakthrough left him with a deep impression. Even during the day, it would be difficult to hide it without closing them.

However, he did not immediately enter the state of meditation. There were still some doubts spiralling at the bottom of his heart.

His eyes were fixated on the "scarlet heart" in the palm of his hand.

The information fragments attached to it clearly told Tang Qi that it was a high-level mystic object with great effects.

The most important thing was that it is also a fuel, which was the second kind of fuel besides those ghosts.

But Tang Qi clearly remembered that when he obtained the sheepskin parchment that recorded the "Golden Furnace Meditation", the mantra on it was: The sun is a golden furnace, and the only fuel is the soul.

After that, he began to cultivate the Golden Furnace Meditation Method.

Letting the fuel added into his "furnace" follow this mantra.

The extraordinary souls of Resentful Spirits and Evil Spirits are the best fuel.

If so, why can this scarlet heart be used as fuel?

The information fragments captured by the special ability had never been wrong.

At the same time, he could also feel that the scarlet heart in his hand was indeed fuel, and he even had the urge to immediately throw it into the furnace.

Tang Qi's eyebrows twitched.

He felt that he had accidentally happened across a secret, a secret knowledge no less than the "professional-level mystery".

That is…the extraordinary power or creation summoned from the "mysticism" is very likely to be the essence of the soul or the product of the soul, which is the most reasonable explanation.

But if so, what kind of creature's soul would these extraordinary powers and true creations be?

New doubts sprang up in Tang Qi's mind.

Thinking about it, he felt more tired, and an indistinct dull pain between his eyebrows.

This is a sign of exhaustion of mental power. The battle with Ronald, coupled with the cost of launching "judgment", even with the boundless mental power possessed by Tang Qi, he was unable to sustain it.

The secrets of "mysticism" and "extraordinary power" are not something that Tang Qi can easily explore today, especially with so few clues.

After thinking for a while, Tang Qi emptied all distracting thoughts.

Then, he put the scarlet heart in front of him and went straight into a state of meditation.

Before advancing to the next level, he planned to replenish the mental power he had consumed. Otherwise, it's hard to say if something unexpected would happen if he advanced in such a tired state.

Time passed quickly.

After a few hours, Tang Qi woke up again.

The tiredness was swept away on his face, and his eyes were full of energy again, obviously, he had recovered.

He didn't look out the window, and his eyes fell directly on the scarlet heart under the lights in the house.

"Let's begin!"

No matter what, as long as there was a chance to improve his strength, Tang Qi will not refuse, nor will he delay.

Especially at this time, although he hid well, he couldn't guarantee that he would not be involved in the war between the Mellon family and the Harold Club.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

Before encountering changes, do your best to improve yourself.

"Phew"

Tang Qi's hands held up the scarlet heart. He took a deep breath and then launched his meditation method. In an instant, he ignited himself, and the power of the golden furnace spat out from the palms of his hands, wrapping the scarlet heart within it.

The ruby ​​heart looked hard and magical, and the moment it touched the golden flames, it began to melt like the snow that meets the scorching sun, and it melted little by little. The incomparably dazzling "red" flowed down, wrapped around Tang Qi's hands, and then spread all over his body.

Thump!

Thump Thump!

Movements that were not the same as before appeared in Tang Qi.

The sound of a rapid heartbeat seemed to ring out in his ears. His eyes were red, and he couldn't see his body. His whole person seemed to have entered an extremely bright red world. In front of him, a piece of information popped up.

It's a progress rate, a skyrocketing progress rate.

Tang Qi watched as the progress of 15% rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen…twenty!

Boom!

Finally, that vast and incredible scene appeared again.

When the progress exceeded 20%, the force that only existed in the dark unseen world descended again, dragging Tang Qi through the dark and chaotic space. The endless flames formed a channel, guiding Tang Qi to once again see the infinitely vast and majestic golden sun.

Lord of the Furnace!

A familiar murmur rang deep in Tang Qi's soul.

He would face another choice, which was given by the Lord of the Furnace, that would allow him to advance the "Eye of the Furnace".

There were still two advancement directions: judgment and calm!

Tang Qi chose the former last time. According to common sense, if he wanted to continue to increase his attack power, he should improve "judgment".

But at this moment, he had a premonition that he should choose the latter.

This premonition seemed to be very strong for no reason. In his mind, the battle with Ronald, and the scenes that witnessed the birth of the scarlet heart, the distorted and chaotic power turned into various fragments that kept flashing through his mind.

Suddenly, Tang Qi made a decision.

When he moved, a golden stream of light from the depths of the universe enveloped the magnificent golden flame and poured into his eyes.

Boom!

His consciousness returned and an abnormal vision erupted in his eyes.

The extreme bright red and golden flames intertwined, reflecting numerous illusions, churning and surging in his mind.

At the same time, pieces of information flowed out.

The Eye of the Furnace is evolving!

The calming effect disappeared!

A new effect was being born!

…

This was his choice.

Following his intuition, he chose to advance another effect of the Eye of the Furnace.

It was completely different from the original "judgment", Tang Qi didn't feel any burning feeling or light, he just felt that he was in an incomparably chaotic space, and all kinds of strange and illusory images were created, but they slowly returned to calmness under the extreme scarlet and golden flames.

As time went by, everything finally calmed down, and Tang Qi immediately opened his eyes.

The first thing he did was look at himself.

The dim light converged into a special interface, Tang Qi routinely ignored the other areas and looked at the changes in the eye of the furnace.

[Eye of the Furnace: Derivative skills, eye activation, with the effects of judgment, unnamed, you can continue …]

"Unnamed?"

All of a sudden, he stood up, and recalling the previous time, he went directly to the floor mirror.

When he opened his eyes, they appeared in the mirror. And a strange feeling suddenly came into his mind.

Tang Qi concentrated his gaze slightly, and indeed his eyes flashed with a little gleam.

It was a bright, blazing red light, without any sense of danger, on the contrary, it gave a warm and calm feeling. If he released "it", the intertwined scarlet and golden flames that he experienced in the special space before would manifest and illuminate everything…

Several pieces of information suddenly appeared at this moment, Tang Qi instantly realized the role of this "unknown effect".

"It's also activated by the eyes, but the space it pulls people or creatures into is not facing the projection of the Lord of the Furnace, but a space composed of unknown power and the power of the furnace, where all miscellaneous thoughts or distractions will be calmed down."

"The direction of mind and the soul will be determined by the releaser. This power seems to make people recover from madness, it can also influence the other party's mind, and can even dominate the other party's thoughts. And to what extent depends on the mental power of both parties…"

"This is an advanced version of calm? But a lot more terrifying. In addition to the calming effect, there are also hypnotic and control effects."

"The extra features seem to come from the extraordinary power in the scarlet heart, summoned from mysticism."

With a strange look on his face, Tang Qi digested all the information fragments and pondered deeply for a while.

In his mind, the image of the extreme red and golden flames intertwining was reflected again.

"Its name is…Crimson!"
