The reason the fire crystals aren't working is because his main power is that of the thing around his totem, the fire totem is just a sub-power. Therefor, he can't power up with the fire crystals, as they increase the power of the fire totem only.
Yup new arc Spoiler: Spoiler! I warned you! DO NOT read this if you are not fond of spoilers! Seriously! New arc about the Mainland beyond the lake/river [edited]
oohhhh its starting! (and that's all im going to say) lol... I was like... wait what? the damn bird is paddling?
You know, something that's always made me tilt my head, How the heck do they know that this is a "River"? Or rather why is it called a river when Its obviously a large sea? He describes going as fast as a motor boat, yet you could cross any of the great lakes in 1-2 Days at that speed. Heck, crossing the Mediterranean only takes about a week.
Because the ancestors called it a river, and it was just a river before, over the passing of time, the river grew wider.
No idea, I never read that far ahead Someone said he gets married, but there isn't any actual romance in the story.
I hope we at least get to know the female he's going to marry. As you say, there's no romance but I'm hoping the author wrote how their relationship started.
"Shao Xuan originally wanted to tell the Shaman and Old Ke “You guys relax”, but he could only say two words before being hit with wooden crutches." Hehe...
So I couldn't wait any longer and had to read the entire story x) Good and chill story overall, it got everything going for it apart from romance, it might seem a little too slice of life for some people but again if you had read until latest translated chapter you won't get bothered by that. This is the second story of the author I have read and he has strong qualities in his writing.
