5 days quickly passed by. In these 5 days, Ankit didn't cultivate or play Free Fire. He just took care of his family.
He cooked for them, played with them, made sculptures and statues with his powers for them, did minor things for them. He entertained them as much as possible.
After these 5 days, Ankit said goodbye. His parents and sister didn't stop him. They just told him to take care of himself.
While Ankit was leaving, he said to his parents that he wouldn't be able to contact them for 10 or 20 days because he had to focus on cultivation.
His parents wanted to deny it. They didn't want Ankit to not contact them for months. But Ankit told them he was very careful and wouldn't cause any trouble.
Ankit also told them he would be in a very safe place and wouldn't be in danger.
They asked, "Where is that place?"
But Ankit didn't answer. He only said, "My hut."
After saying these words, he ran straight for his hut. While running, he took precautions so people didn't see him.
He could fly, but it would cause huge consumption of essence flow and there was a chance he could be discovered.
But running on land was beneficial because it could hide Ankit's figure, and Ankit wouldn't leave any signs behind because of his careful control.
Also, it didn't consume much essence flow.
Ankit quickly reached outside the city and increased his speed, reaching the mountain range in just a few minutes.
After reaching his hut, Ankit first made a purchase of the 2nd elite pass that had come when he was with his family. It was June 28 when he purchased the elite pass. Previously He didn't play Free Fire, so he missed it.
But now Ankit had bought it. After playing some matches with it, he got bored and exited the game.
Then Ankit sat down and thought that his next path in cultivation was to open upper cores and start stage 2.
But before that happened, he wanted to create some techniques that would be beneficial to him.
He already had the basic elements like fire, water, wind, earth controlling techniques. He integrated these techniques into a single "Basic Elemental Controlling Technique."
Now he wanted to make attacking, defensive, movement, healing, puppet, and eye techniques.
He started with attacking techniques.
After some thought, he decided to make a Fire Lotus Technique. He had seen this technique in a novel.
He immediately liked it and now wanted to create this technique.
He started generating fire with the help of the fire control technique. Yes, he could also easily make a fire lotus with it.
But this lotus wouldn't have much power. It would just be a car without any engine.
Then Ankit started to compress all the fire and make a very small petal, but this petal was very lethal and powerful.
Ankit really wanted to try its power, but he feared the destruction this petal would cause, so he abandoned this idea.
But in the future, he would really test its power.
After making a single petal, Ankit was thrilled and started to make another petal. He made them until he was exhausted.
And his results paid off. Finally, he had really created a fire lotus. But Ankit knew that this was just the first step in this technique.
He had to practice this technique until he could instantly generate a fire lotus—not like now, where he had to make a petal first, then a second petal...
This technique's name was "Fire Lotus Technique," not "Petal Technique."
So, resting for some time, Ankit began the same process again.
After 1 hour of practice, he could generate 50 petals.
After 10 hours of practice, he could make 500 petals.
After 20 hours of relentless practice, he could make a full lotus instantly with 1,000 petals.
This lotus was a perfect, multi-layered sphere of petals (often red, orange, and gold/white) that looked like contained fire.
It was very captivating and beautiful, but its power was equally powerful.
Ankit could guess that with just this lotus alone, he could burn his city to ashes in just a few minutes.
But Ankit dared not try this and quickly dissipated the lotus.
He could create it again when needed.
Ankit also thought that this lotus could evolve in the future with him. This technique had the potential to evolve and get stronger with his increased cultivation.
Then Ankit began to make his new techniques.
Ankit would now focus on making fire series techniques for now.
He had already gotten familiar with making these techniques, and now he could make similar nature techniques faster.
He grinded for 5 days and finally made these 5 techniques covering other aspects besides attacking.
Ankit's Fire Series Techniques:
1. Fire Lotus Technique
Ankit condenses thousands of fiery petals into a multi-layered lotus sphere. With practice, he can instantly generate this powerful attack capable of widespread destruction. Though visually captivating, its true strength lies in the immense explosive potential contained within. This technique forms the foundation of his fire-based arsenal.
2. Fire Wisp Puppets
These small, glowing fire wisps patrol the battlefield independently, scouting for threats and relaying information to Ankit. Under his control, the wisps gain semi-autonomous consciousness, allowing them to perform complex attacks or defense maneuvers without direct commands, greatly enhancing battlefield control.
3. Inferno Gaze
Ankit's eyes can unleash focused, precise fire lasers that burn through targets at medium range. This technique merges offensive firepower with heightened sensory perception, enabling him to strike swiftly at enemies detected by his enhanced vision. Additionally, it grants the ability to see fire-type Essence Flow in the environment and thermal vision to detect heat signatures through obstacles, making it perfect for tracking hidden enemies and elemental flows.
4. Fire Defense Circle
This technique manifests a blazing shield of flame around Ankit or his allies. He can expand the circle to protect a wider area; however, increasing its size dilutes its defensive strength, forcing tactical decisions between coverage and protection intensity.
5. Fire Essence Rejuvenation
This technique stimulates rapid tissue regeneration and Essence flow restoration, accelerating recovery from injuries and fatigue. Unlike a concentrated strike, the fire Essence acts as a gentle, pervasive energy current, cleansing internal blockages and revitalizing vitality. It also harmonizes mental energy, improving focus and emotional balance during healing. This method flows naturally with his elemental mastery, growing more potent as Ankit's cultivation deepens, allowing full-body rejuvenation even under harsh conditions.
6. Blazing Step Movement
Combining flame propulsion with rapid footwork, this movement technique enables Ankit to dash, hover, and evade at high speeds. The bursts of fire beneath his feet significantly amplify mobility, providing speed advantages in both offense and retreat.
