6: Summoner and Flame Monster

In the morning, he ran to build up his stamina.

In the afternoon, he practiced Basic Swordsmanship.

In the evening, Cheng Yang bought some dumbbells to train his strength.

No matter how sore his back was, Cheng Yang never stopped for a single day.

Besides assisting Cheng Yang with [Light Radiation] during his training, Lin Ti spent the rest of his time diligently studying.

He had to at least learn and master everything on the product shelf.

At the same time, there was also the database, which contained abstruse and difficult-to-understand occult knowledge for Lin Ti.

This continued until seven days later.

...

The topic of armor had fermented online for seven days, becoming an urban legend.

After all, Armored Warrior who could fight Flame Monster were simply too much of a challenge to common sense.

The vast majority of people could not believe it was real.

Of course, there was also a portion who believed it was real.

After all, this was a world where even Flame Monster could appear, so an armor that could fight Flame Monster didn't seem so difficult to accept.

Seven days of training had transformed Cheng Yang's physical fitness, making him a completely different person from seven days ago.

If it were an ordinary person, no matter how hard they trained during these seven days, such a significant change would be impossible.

However, under the effect of Lin Ti's Light Radiation, Cheng Yang clearly could not be judged by normal circumstances.

Lin Ti estimated that Cheng Yang's 7 days of training achieved results roughly equivalent to an ordinary person relentlessly pushing their body to train for three months, regardless of the consequences.

Of course, Cheng Yang's trained body had no side effects whatsoever.

Light Radiation had transformed his body, inside and out, making him incredibly healthy.

Finishing his run, Cheng Yang sat on a park bench, looking at the information inside his Summoner.

[Summoner] Cheng Yang

[Summoner Level] 1

[Strength] 7

[Spirit] 7

[Constitution] 8

[Skill] 1, Basic Swordsmanship (F-rank, sword-type weapons, skill card effect boosted)

[armor Adaptability] 75%

[Light Energy Points] 0

The results of the training, expressed in data, were exceptionally effective, both in terms of motivation and satisfaction.

Although these values, except for [armor Adaptability], were all estimated and compiled by Lin Ti through light scans.

Of course, Lin Ti had also been studying human anatomy and occult-related knowledge these past few days, making the displayed values more accurate.

The current values, compared to the initial subjective guesswork, were already somewhat reliable.

A progressive Summoner + a progressive Summoner.

Everyone is a good person.

So...

Hmm?

A Flame Monster's aura?

After seven days, had a Flame Monster finally appeared again?

Lin Ti, who had evolved into a Summoner, had a very low efficiency in absorbing Light Energy through sunlight.

It was far from comparable to the Light Energy obtained by killing Flame Monster.

Moreover, he could use the Flame Monster's crystals to Melt them into new weapons and skills.

Lin Ti immediately became serious, vibrating the Summoner and marking the Flame Monster's direction on it.

[New Flame Monster reaction detected...]

Watching the screen on the Summoner suddenly covered by [Flame Monster Reaction], Cheng Yang on the bench immediately sat up straight.

"A Flame Monster has appeared!"

According to the icon displayed on the Summoner, the Flame Monster was not far from his location, only about two blocks away.

Its location... seemed to be a small shopping mall!

At this time, the pedestrian traffic inside a small shopping mall would not be small; he had to rush there as quickly as possible!

The Summoner's amplification effect activated at full power, and Cheng Yang's physical fitness instantly increased significantly.

Combined with the effects of Cheng Yang's training during this period, he rushed towards the mall's location almost like an arrow from a bowstring.

As he left the park and entered the street, approaching the mall's location.

Cheng Yang could already see thick smoke rising from the mall's location.

Confused people were scattered, escaping from the mall's emergency exits.

The surrounding roads were also jammed with vehicles and crowds, and traffic was severely congested and chaotic.

Listening to the conversations of the people around, it seemed they only thought it was a fire and were not aware of a Flame Monster.

Lin Ti squeezed through the gaps between cars and people, looking towards the mall.

The fire was on the third floor of the mall, and thick black smoke mixed with bursting flames was continuously spreading outwards from the third floor.

Cheng Yang was about to continue pushing through the crowd and rushing in when a violent explosion suddenly rang out!

A fierce shockwave mixed with scorching glass, along with the panicked screams of the crowd, caused him to frantically cover his head and squat down.

One burning, half-destroyed giant billboard, carried by the shockwave, smashed towards a car next to Lin Ti!

And inside the car, there happened to be a man and a woman, plus a little girl, a family of three.

Not good!

Cheng Yang, amplified, reacted extremely quickly, swiftly pulling the door handle to open the car door and pulling the family of three out.

Then came a loud bang!

The billboard heavily smashed onto the car, and the entire car roof was crushed flat.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Ignoring the thanks from the young father and mother, Cheng Yang quickly looked towards the location of the debris.

"Roar!"

The Flame Monster's roar rose from the flames, and at the same time, in the explosive flames, the Flame Monster's figure appeared faintly.

At this moment, the crowd also realized that this was not an ordinary fire, but a disaster caused by a Flame Monster!

"A Flame Monster! It's a Flame Monster!"

Immediately, the crowd became even more terrified and wanted to flee the vicinity.

Some people who had not yet escaped from inside the mall even frantically wanted to jump out of the windows.

Cheng Yang quickly got up, rushed against the flow of people towards the mall, tightened his grip on the Summoner, and pressed it against his waist.

A metal belt instantly wrapped around his waist, the [Armor of Light] card already clutched in his fingertips, he slammed it into the belt's card slot.

"Armor of Light."

"Combine!"

Platinum-white light flashed from his running feet, quickly covering his entire body, outlining the armor's silhouette.

By the time Cheng Yang rushed downstairs, he had completely transformed into an Armor of Light Warrior.

Cheng Yang glanced at the Flame Monster, stomped heavily on the ground, and leaped into the air.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, he caught those attempting to jump downstairs in mid-air, safely transferring them to the ground.

After switching back and forth several times like this, just as Cheng Yang was about to transfer the remaining few people out of the mall, an unexpected event occurred.

"Roar!"

Along with the Flame Monster's roar from within the flames, several balls of flame, entwined and compressed into spheres, shot towards Cheng Yang from the surging flames.

Cheng Yang stepped onto the wall, kicked away one fireball, and then, maneuvering, easily dodged the remaining fireballs.

However, the roaring Flame Monster changed direction, condensing a massive fireball in the flames and shooting it at the few people who had not yet escaped, who were still at the window.
