With 24 hours left on the countdown to the final mission, Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan finally set out for Tiger Tribe Village. They needed to cover at least 150 kilometers at a full sprint, cross four great mountains, then pass through the Tiger Tribe's blockade in the shortest time possible, find the rampaging fire elemental, and successfully seal it.
Just going by the description, the difficulty was far from trivial.
Yet Zhang Yang was very confident.
There were three reasons.
First, Wu Yuan had successfully advanced to a two-star hero, and his combat power had already come within arm's reach of the legendary rank. That was no exaggeration—it was Wu Yuan's own assessment. He believed that if they fought barehanded, he still wouldn't be a match for that Sabertooth Tiger King, but with a sharp weapon in hand, he could secure the victory.
Second, after fusing with the three-hundred-year-old Ancestral Spirit, Zhang Yang's soul strength had risen another level, reaching B+. He had also mastered another spell: Fire Tongue Spell, also known as Flame Spell. It was an extremely basic spell, even inferior to Fireball Spell, and utterly useless in combat. At most, it could probably be used to barbecue lamb skewers, chicken wings, and the like.
But the basic mana structure within this Fire Tongue Spell had given Zhang Yang an even deeper understanding of controlling and manipulating flames. After all, compared with true fire mages, he was still an unorthodox amateur. Having a complete spell structure to use as a reference was still very useful.
Third was the Flame Tattoo on Guy's body. After several hours of testing, Zhang Yang had finally confirmed that it was another incomplete yet ingenious mana structure. Its purpose was to manipulate flames. If this mana structure were incorporated into Fire Tongue
