After swallowing the Fire Seed, the burning heat kept surging from inside Randy's body. His skin even became red caused by the heat, he was like a boiled crab inside his armor.
The temperature inside Randy's body kept raising until his body released a hot air. This condition lasted for twelve hours. After twelve hours, the temperature inside his body slowly reduced.
Another twelve hours passed and Randy's temperature back to normal.
A few minutes later, Randy abruptly opened his eyes. At first, he felt extremely hot inside; it was like his inner organs were getting burned. He even dreamed he was roasted by Demonic Rabbit before he woke up.
But after he awakened, he felt his body was fresh and comfortable. Also, he felt something was flowing inside his body. Randy stood up, stretching his body. After that, he shot a glance at Shana who was floating on the right shoulder.
"So, how do I use this Fire Elemental Power?" Randy asked her with a helplessness. Even though he wanted to get angry at her, but it was unwise to angry at her. Maybe she would set up more prank on him later.
Shana smiled sweetly, "It's easy. The same as Sword Energy, you only need channeling the Elemental Energy inside your body to your sword or hand,"
Without further ado, Randy closed his eyes and focused the new energy inside his body into his hand. When he did this, he could see there were two energies were flowing inside his body.
The two energies were red in color. He recognized one energy, the sword energy. The sword energy was dark red, and another energy was crimson red.
The dark red energy was like blood in his body, flowing to every single part of his body. Different from the Elemental Energy, The Elemental Energy produced by the seed inside his body. From the seed, the crimson red energy was flowing to his body.
Both energies also different in the shape. The Sword Energy in his body about 5 CM wide while the Elemental Energy was like a thread.
After knowing which energy he should use, Randy channeled the crimson red energy into his palm as he opened his palm, hoping a fire would light up in his hand. As he did this, the crimson red energy flowing faster and faster.
Randy opened his eyes, looking at his palm. A fire light up in his... thumb. Yes, the fire was blazing in his thumb like matches.
Randy: "..."
He thought there would be a magnificent scene in his palm. He thought his palm would ablaze like his armor or the Blue Tibre - Xyrrass, but the result was only his thumbs which were blazing with fire.
"Shana…"
Before even he finished the complaint, Shana cut him off and said with a stern voice, "What? Do you think your palm will ablaze like Infernal set armor or Xyrrass? Your Elemental Power only level 1, so this is what you get, tsk. Check your window stat, there should be a new stat there,"
Shana lectured Randy with a stern expression and voice.
Randy rubbed his nose after hearing what Shana told him. Afterward, he did as she said, checking his window stat.

There was a new stat there, Elemental Power. It showed the level of Fire Seed. Looking at this, he remembered Shana told him the Energy Core used for leveling up the Fire Seed.
He checked the Energy Core he got from killing Fire Wisp. His Elemental Power is fire, so he must use the Energy Core contained Fire Essence. There were 1,765 Energy Cores which was containing Fire Essence.
But what was weird was the stack of the Energy Core, the energy divided into three stacks. The first stack was 390 Energy Cores, the second stack was 716 Energy Cores, and the last stack was 659 Energy Cores.
These three stacks of Energy Core was the same Energy Core, the Energy core contained Fire Essence.
Randy guessed the three stacks were divided based on the grade of the Fire Wisp. If he was not mistaken, the 314 Energy Cores were the Uncommon Fire Wisp's core, the 716 Energy Cores were the Rare Fire Wisp's core, and the 659 Energy Cores were the Epic Fire Wisp's core.
Randy took out one Energy Core, the Energy Core from Uncommon Fire Wisp and turned his head to Shana, "So I need to eat this core to increase the level of my Elemental Power?"
"Yup," Shana gave him a simple answer.
After hearing Shana confirmation, Randy delivered the core to his mouth but stopped in the half-way.
"There is no side effect, right?"
Randy asked with uncertainty. Even though he felt fresh and comfortable after being roasted for a day, he didn't want to experience it for the second time.
"Don't worry, there will no pain, heat or the like," Shana replied while making "okay" gesture with her tiny hands.
Hearing the confirmation, Randy put the Energy Core to his mouth. He swallowed the Energy Core directly when the Energy Core arrived in his throat, it melted became liquid. After the liquid passed his throat, his body felt fresh. It was like drinking the purest spring water.
After that, he checked his window stat. His Fire Seed was at 10% after swallowing one Uncommon Fire Wisp's Energy Core. He finally understood why Shana told him the Energy Core was important for his future.
Randy swallowed another 9 Energy Core and his Fire Seed leveled up to level 2. After reaching level 2, Randy tested it out again.
This time his five fingers were blazing with a crimson fire. He swung his right hand to and fro like a child found a new toy.
"Cool!"
He had many Energy Cores, so without further ado, he kept eating the Energy Core. He needed thirty Energy Cores to level up from level 2 to level 3. This time he could light the whole palm.
He kept leveling up his Fire Seed. To reach level 4, he swallowed 50 Energy Cores, 100 Energy Cores to reach level 5, 200 Energy Cores to reach level 6. After leveling up the Fire Seed until six levels, he consumed 390 Energy Cores of Uncommon Fire Wisp.
Randy didn't stop here, there were still over 700 Rare Fire Wisp's Energy Cores and over 600 Epic Fire Wisp's Energy Cores.
He used the Rare Fire Wisp's Energy Core, but to his surprise, he only needed 50 Energy Cores for leveling up to level 7. Later one, 100 Epic Energy Cores to level 8, 200 Epic Energy Cores to level 9. After leveling up his Fire Seed to level 9, he only left with 366 Rare Energy Cores, he estimated it would need 400 Energy Cores for leveling up to level 10.
First, Randy swallowed the 366 Rare Energy Cores before starting with the Epic Energy Core. He swallowed the Epic Energy Core one by one. In the ninth Epic Energy Core, his Fire Seed leveled up, reaching level 10.
After his Fire Seed reached level 10, he calculated the Energy Core needed and comparing the Energy Essences in each Energy Core. After mulling for a while, he made a discovery that:
1 Epic Energy Core = 4 Rare Energy Cores = 16 Uncommon Energy Cores
Also, each time leveled up, he needed twice amount of the Essence-Energy previous level to level up.
Afterward, he used the Epic Energy Cores. After swallowing 150 Energy Cores, his expression abruptly change. The feeling of being burned when he swallowed the Fire Seed was comeback attacking him.
But this heat was twice hotter than beforehand heat when he integrated the Fire Seed.
