As soon as he thought about ‘Status’, a blue holographic screen appeared in front of him that contained all his details.

‘Ding, ​​

“Ancient demon race? Aren’t they extinct?”

Henrick knew about the race as his mother mentioned about them a couple of times. ‘According to her, it is one of the strongest races in history. Apart from that, she never mentioned anything about it. Is my father an ancient fire demon?’ Henrick’s head started to spin as he thought about his childhood.

His memories about his father were hazy and he could not even clearly remember his father’s face.

‘Looks like, there are many things she didn’t say to me. I should go back to Ragos village as soon as possible,’

After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to ask his mother about the questions in his head.

‘However, Master said I can’t leave the ‘Twin fire mountain’ anytime soon,’ Henrick remembered the words that his master had said when he first entered his cultivation abode.

‘I should ask about it with the master. I hope he will give permission to go when I reach Muscle strengthening realm,’ With that thought in his head, he continued observing the other information on the holographic screen

“Huh? Hasn’t my bloodline awakened recently? But, why is it showing ‘Suppressed’?”

In the status page, beside his bloodline, it was mentioned that his bloodline was suppressed. So, Henrick wondered why it was like that?

However, he still continued to read his status page.

‘Ancient fire surge’

He silently muttered in his head and was about to read the description of the innate skill; however, before he could check it, his body emitted a bright light from his body.

‘What is happening?’

Looking at the light emitted by his body, Henrick was shocked and immediately stood up from his stone bed.

‘Eek eek’

All of a sudden, the baby fire-monkey, which was sleeping on the stone bed awakened from its slumber and rushed towards Henrick with an excited face and settled on his shoulders.

‘Huh?’

Henrick’s previous shock had turned into a puzzle as he noticed that the baby fire monkey became silent and fell asleep on his shoulders.

‘Zzz’

Slowly, the bright light emitted by his body had disappeared and the baby fire monkey started snoring.

‘This little one….,’ Henrick shook his head at the baby fire monkey’s action and thought, ‘What is that light earlier?’

With that question, he looked at the skill description.

“Huh? So, it is my innate skill,”

After reading the skill description, Henrick understood what was the earlier light from his body and became excited.

‘That means, I can help this little one to become stronger by using my innate skill…Haha,’

Henrick patted the baby fire monkey, which was resting on his head and laughed.

‘Even though it is still only a low-level skill and can only help low-level fire beings, I think this skill will evolve into a high-level one with time. Is that right, system?’

Henrick could guess that it was possible to increase the skills by practising or by some other methods.

‘Ding,

Master is right. With the repeated use of the skill along with master”s strength, the skill can evolve into a high level one.

‘I knew it,’ Henrick muttered as he became even more excited with the system’s confirmation and thought, ‘If it evolves into a high-level one and then I can easily increase the strength of this little one to a rank 4 or rank 5 or even higher.’

Generally, an adult fire monkey could only reach rank 2 or if it was lucky, then rank 3 was also possible; however, reaching rank 4 was an impossible thing for a fire monkey.

So, he felt satisfied with his first innate skill.

That’s right!

Based on the sect leader Gamos’ words, he could guess that he would awaken even more innate skills in the future along with his cultivation.

‘I wonder what type of skills I will awaken in the future?’ Henrick went back to his stone bed and sat cross-legged before looking into his dantian.

“Huh? Where is my pure internal fire energy?”

Inside his dantian, the previous pure internal fire energy was nowhere to be seen.

‘Ding,

Master, check the walls of the dantian.

Just as he was feeling anxious, as usual, the system came to his rescue.

‘Oh’

Henrick carefully looked at the walls of the dantian and noticed a vague red-colour layer on the walls. If one doesn’t look carefully, there was no way anyone could notice it.

‘Is it my total pure internal fire energy? There should be one percent of my internal pure fire energy, right?’ Henrick thought back to the time when he checked his dantian.

At that time, there was one percent internal pure fire energy which was converted from the 10 perent of the fire elements Henrick had absorbed into his body.

‘Ding,

Master, you used your innate skill two times after you have awakened it. Each time, you used unconsciously, so the consumption for that skill is very low and it cost the master about 0.25 percent of the pure internal fire energy.

Without any delay, the system sent a brief explanation about his internal fire energy’s consumption.

“Oh, okay. Thanks, system,” Henrick thanked the system as he nodded his head as though he understood where his pure fire energy had disappeared to.

It was a piece of common knowledge that all the skills and techniques that were used by the cultivators required internal fire energy. So, Henrick didn’t bother arguing with the system when it clearly helps him with his questions.
