"Now, I will increase the pure internal fire energy by absorbing the fire elements around and start the refining process from tomorrow,"

After getting the information from the system, Henrick sat cross-legged on his stone bed and thought to cultivate his internal fire energy. ​​

On his shoulders, the baby fire monkey attached itself to him as though it didn't want to leave him.

'Looks like the baby fire monkey became a little tall and fat after basking in the bright light from the 'Ancient fire surge',' Although the changes were very little, Henrick was able to notice them.

'Eek eek'

All of a sudden, the sleep baby fire monkey awakened from its slumber and excitedly shouted as though it had achieved something.

"What happened, little one?" He slowly took the baby fire monkey into his hands and asked it with a puzzled expression on his face.

'Eek eek'

To his question, the baby fire monkey replied with excited shouts which Henrick was unable to understand.

"Are you telling me that you became a rank 1 beast?"

Although he could not understand its words, he was able to notice the same excitement he had when he became the cultivator.

Before he could get a reply from the baby fire monkey, he used his system to check its information.

'Ding,

Beast name:- Fire monkey (Infant)

Cultivation:- Rank 1

Skills:- Scorching kick (level 1)

Skill description:- A most common skill of the fire monkeys. When the skill is used, the legs of the fire monkey will be covered by its internal fire energy to kick its opponents.

Cooldown:- 5 minutes

Note:- There is a small chance of having a burning effect on the opponent after the skills.

Soon, the complete information of the baby fire monkey appeared in front of him which made Henrock happy.

'Eek eek'

When it heard Henrick's guess, the baby fire monkey became even more excited and jumped up and down while letting out the exciting shouts from its mouth.

"I know I know," Henrick could totally understand how it was feeling because a couple of hours ago he was in the same situation.

Even though it was the most common skill among the fire monkeys, it was still its first skill and what's more, in the future, with his 'Ancient fire surge' he could break its limits.

Then, it could learn more skills

"Little one, show me your first skill," Henrick patted its small head and asked it to use the level 1 scorching kick.

'Eek eek'

When Henrick asked it to show its skill, it became even more exciting and looked at its surroundings to find a suitable thing to use its scorching kill.

After looking at its surroundings, it didn't find any suitable targets to use the scorching kick.

Soon, the baby fire monkey's eyes shone when its eyes landed on Henrick.

"Huh?"

Henrick immediately became alert when he saw the glint in the baby fire monkey's eyes and without wasting any time, he said, "Don't you dare try that skill on me."

He could guess that the baby fire monkey wants to use the scorching kick on him. So, he immediately warned it.

When it heard Henrick's warning, the baby fire monkey became dejected and slowly moved towards the corner of the stone bed and pitifully looked at Henrick before sleeping.

"No one will fall for that," Henrick replied with a serious look on his face.

Although the 'Scorching kick' was the most common kick, Henrick didn't want to take a risk because he was still not a cultivator and knew that he would not be able to defend the kick.

"Fine then. Don't use your full strength,"

Looking at the pitiful look on the baby fire monkey's face, he finally gave in and became the practice dummy for it.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey immediately stood up from the stone and let out some excited shouts.

'Who said you to ask it to show its skill. Now, defend that scorching kick,' Henrick mocked himself when he saw the excited look on the fire monkey.

From the looks of the baby fire monkey, Henrick could guess that the fire monkey must have already known that he would give permission to it.

'Eek eek'

While Henrick was in his thoughts, the baby fire monkey shouted at him as though it was telling him to be careful.

"Okay. But don't use your full power," Henrick nodded his head and waited for the baby fire monkey to attack him.

Soon, an orange coloured flame came out of the baby fire monkey's body and entirely covered its legs.

As soon as the fire covered its legs, the baby fire monkey started rushing at Henrick and jumped into the air with a kicking pose.

'You can do it, Henrick. It's just a common level 1 skill. If you don't even defend this skill, then how can you dream of becoming an immortal,'

Henrick clenched his fists and unconsciously lifted both his hands and placed in front of him in a guarding pose and silently thought in his head.

He used his full power and steadily stood on the ground and waited for the kick to land onto his hands.

'Kick'

Soon a kick landed on his hands which forced him to move two steps back and because of his uniform, the fire from the kick didn't touch his skin.

'Phew...although this little one looks very small, the kick is….'

'Kick'

'Kick'

'Kick'

Before Henrick could heave a sigh of relief and praise the baby fire monkey's powerful kick, many kicks landed on his hands which were guarding his face and he was continuously forced back.

'Kick'

'Boom'

'Thud'

All of a sudden, a kick landed in his abdomen and made him slam into the wall of the cultivation abode.

Only after that final kick, the baby fire monkey stopped its attacks and looked at Henrick, who was on the ground.

'Didn't I order you to use only a little force, little one?'

Staying on the ground, Henrick looked at the baby fire monkey and asked in a serious tone.
