Not only was Xiao Huo Huo unable to enter this Teleportation Gate, but none of the other players on the sea surface could enter it either.
Luo Feng was actually doing this for the players' own good.
The Main Sea Area was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. These players were too weak and simply couldn't handle it. It was better for Luo Feng to go—his strength was sufficient to manage the situation.
These players should wait until less challenging Teleportation Gates appeared before attempting entry.
As Luo Feng approached, the surrounding Frost Ice split open to form a passage, allowing the Black Tortoise to carry Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei forward.
Soon, they arrived beside the Teleportation Gate.
The gate radiated dazzling light, especially at its center, where a white vortex seemed to swirl as if ready to suck anyone in.
Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei dismounted from the Black Tortoise's back.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng stored the Black Tortoise back into his space ring.
It wasn't that Luo Feng didn't want to ride the Black Tortoise into the Main Sea Area. After all, with the Black Tortoise's protective shield, he would have some buffer time if danger arose.
But the Guardian beast of this Teleportation Gate was already formidable. If Luo Feng were teleported into a nest of beasts, it would spell big trouble.
Moreover, the Teleportation Gate was only two meters wide and three meters tall.
The Black Tortoise, with its ten-meter diameter, simply couldn't fit through.
Sometimes, being too big as a turtle was a problem.
Just as Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei were about to step into the Teleportation Gate, Xiao Huo Huo suddenly spoke up from nearby.
"Wait! I've decided to offer the Heavenly Flame Lotus skill book as payment. Would that be acceptable?"
This time, Xiao Huo Huo was truly going all out to enter the Teleportation Gate early.
He hoped that by entering the Main Sea Area ahead of time, he could quickly find special flames, making his efforts worthwhile.
After considering Xiao Huo Huo's words, Luo Feng replied, "Fine. Trade me the Heavenly Flame Lotus skill book.
Once we enter the Teleportation Gate, you can enter it half an hour later."
As Luo Feng finished speaking, a skill book appeared in his hand.
On its cover were four large characters: Heavenly Flame Lotus.
Luo Feng glanced at the skill book's description.
[Heavenly Flame Lotus]
Category: Skill
Description: After learning this skill, at least two special flames are required to use it. The more flames used simultaneously, the greater the skill's power.
Seeing this description, Luo Feng's expression remained unmoved.
This skill required multiple special flames to reach its full potential, but Luo Feng had no intention of collecting them.
He had far more important matters to attend to.
Still, something was better than nothing. Since the skill book was already in his hands, he might as well learn it.
It could complement the Heavenly Flame Art nicely.
"Learn Heavenly Flame Lotus."
"Ding! Congratulations, player. You meet the learning requirements and have successfully acquired the Heavenly Flame Lotus skill."
As the game system's voice rang out, the skill book transformed into a streak of white light and entered Luo Feng's mind.
Moments later, Luo Feng had fully mastered the skill.
Luo Feng then extended his right hand, and a fiery lotus with alternating white and purple hues appeared on his palm.
With a flick of his wrist, the fiery lotus flew out and landed on the Frost Ice.
Bang!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion.
A large crater appeared on the Frost Ice wall.
Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction as he observed the attack from the fiery lotus.
It was a decent technique.
However, it still couldn't compare to Luo Feng's Frost Ice attribute.
Against a wall of ice over ten meters thick, the fiery lotus could only leave a crater.
Xiao Huo Huo, witnessing Luo Feng's actions, wore an expression of utter shock.
He truly hadn't expected that Luo Feng not only obtained the Snow Mountain Ice Fire but also another type of flame—his progress was alarmingly fast.
What was even more terrifying was that Luo Feng had already mastered the Heavenly Flame Lotus skill in such a short time after acquiring it.
The talent he displayed was simply horrifying.
"Disciple, don't dwell on it too much. Shura's Fire Dragon Purple Flame must have been obtained after he slew the Fire Dragon.
I knew of this Fire Dragon's existence before, but its strength was far too formidable, so I never mentioned it to you.
Now, I understand—Shura is someone who defies conventional reasoning.
Moreover, his growth rate is astonishingly rapid.
His background is undoubtedly extraordinary. It's best we keep our distance from him in the future.
If we continue to interact with him, we might end up with nothing left."
"Understood, Master. This time, once we enter the Main Sea Area, we can stay away from him.
I can search for special flames while gathering materials to help restore your body."
Luo Feng glanced at Xiao Huo Huo not far away and said, "Hurry over here. Soon, I'll freeze the entire thirty-meter radius of the Sea Zone. If you're not inside by then, you won't be able to enter."
Hearing this, Xiao Huo Huo's expression changed, and without wasting time, he swiftly swam toward Luo Feng.
As soon as he entered the ice passage, the path behind him began sealing rapidly.
Just as Xiao Huo Huo was about to reach the Teleportation Gate, he suddenly noticed an ice wall blocking his way.
Puzzled, he looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng smiled faintly at his reaction and explained, "Don't be surprised. I haven't gone back on my word. It's just that the value of your skill book only grants you entry into the Teleportation Gate half an hour later.
For safety's sake, I left a twenty-centimeter-thick ice wall. With your strength, you should be able to break through it in half an hour.
Once you do, you can enter the Teleportation Gate."
After speaking, Luo Feng took Tang Xuewei's hand, and they stepped into the Teleportation Gate one after the other.
This wasn't because Luo Feng sought fame or wanted to compete for first place.
Rather, he needed the world announcement from this event to earn Shock Points.
A world announcement of this scale was broadcast globally.
The Shock Points he could gain would undoubtedly be substantial.
If not billions, it would at least be in the hundreds of millions.
With so many Shock Points, Luo Feng would strike it rich.
Such an abundance would significantly accelerate his strength progression.
Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei held hands precisely to avoid the awkward situation of the two of them being teleported to different locations.
Back when Luo Feng used to read novels, he often came across such clichéd plotlines—where the male and female leads would teleport simultaneously, only to end up in separate places.
