After one's mana reached four Crowns, the greatest benefit was that one's will was no longer limited to fusing with one's own mana. The realm of four Crowns was not only an increase in mana, it was more condensed, and the body and mana were further integrated. At the same time, one's mental strength had also made great progress. In addition to controlling one's own mana, there was already enough mental strength to be released from the body to control the elemental power that came from the outside world, combining it with one's own mana. In this way, for a magician, it was undoubtedly a qualitative leap in strength.
This was especially true for Ji Dong. Although his mana was only at four Crowns, his mental strength was many times stronger than the other four Crowns magicians. Using his own mana to summon elemental clouds was a miracle that could only be achieved by a seven Crowns magician, and he had already achieved it at four Crowns. Admittedly, it was because he had the innate advantage of having the Ultimate Dual Flames, but it was also inseparable from his own strong will. Otherwise, even if he produced elemental clouds, he would not have been able to control them.
When leaving the underground palace, Ji Dong and Yao Qianshu met Huang Liming and the others. At that time, Ji Dong relied on Little Flame and the Five Elements Formation, as well as Yao Qianshu's amplification to use the Flame Monarch Body. Now that his strength had broken through to four Crowns, even without the help of Yao Qianshu's Wood to Fire, he could still use Little Flame and the Five Elements Formation to release the Monarch Body. Moreover, not only the Flame Monarch Body, but also the Shadow Flame Devil King's Possession. In other words, with his own strength, he might be able to fight against a six Crowns magician.
When Ji Dong finished his closed-door training, another person entered into closed-door training. That person was Fury. When Ji Dong first met him, Fury's cultivation had already reached Level 69. At the age of 29, this level could be said to be unprecedented. After these days of hard work, he was finally about to reach Level 70. Only when his mana reached Level 70 would he have the possibility of reaching the Seven Crowns.
In the Yin Yang School, Zhurong had said that starting from the Six Crowns, every increase in the Yin And Yang Magician's Crown was a huge bottleneck. Breaking through the Six Crowns was a dividing line, but the Seven Crowns, the Eight Crowns, and the Nine Crowns were even more difficult to break through than the Six Crowns. This was also why there were so many Yin And Yang Magicians, but so few of them were truly strong. Especially starting from the Six Crowns, there was a great deal of danger. If one was not careful, not only would all their previous efforts be wasted, it was very possible that they would go mad.
Ji Dong slowly walked to the seaside. At this time, Zhu Yan was busy forging, Fury was in closed-door training, and the Flying Serpent was nowhere to be found. He was alone.
The sea before him was calm, and the sky was covered in dark clouds. The sun could not be seen, and only the sound of the waves continuously flowed into his ears.
"Flaming Bar, do you know? My strength has increased again. With the Four Crowns and Flame 'er of the Fifth Order, I am already able to face a Six Crown Magician. But, what level do I have to reach to have the power to protect you? Nine Crowns? "
Ji Dong did not know, but he could see from the past that the Flaming Bar could make the Tenth Order Ice Dragon yield, and could make the Fire Divine Beast Vermillion Bird fear. Her strength, perhaps even a Nine Crown Magician could not compare. But, with her powerful strength, why did she need protection in the human world, and could not use her own strength? Flaming Bar, why won't you tell me? You've already been in closed-door training for a while, when will it end? Don't you know, I really miss you.
Squatting down, Ji Dong used his finger to gently glide across the sand, repeatedly writing the two words Flaming Bar. Every time he wrote it, the longing in his heart seemed to increase. He suddenly realized, back in the Fire Academy, the days when he was able to mix drinks for the Flaming Bar every day were actually the happiest days for him. Although his strength was improving with each passing day, but not being able to see the Flaming Bar, his heart was always empty, and there was not the slightest bit of happiness to speak of.
Right at this moment, suddenly, Ji Dong's eyes narrowed. Almost without any hesitation, his entire body had already borrowed the strength of a palm strike to roll out horizontally on the beach. In midair, the intense Ultimate Dual Fire exploded, the gold and black dual coloured flames ignited on his body. At the same time, the Vermillion Bird inner armour brazenly appeared, both wings flapping hard as his body rolled, once again changing direction, causing him to leap forward from the horizontal roll. In the blink of an eye, he was already more than ten meters away.
The Soaring Serpent's satisfied voice sounded out: "Very good, to be able to react so quickly in a state of unease, not bad at all. Come down."
At some unknown time, the Soaring Serpent had already appeared on the beach. Previously, Ji Dong's violent reaction was actually because a pebble had shot towards his body. From the looks of it, Ji Dong seemed to be a little oversensitive, but what if this was a sneak attack from an enemy?
Retracting the Vermillion Bird wings, Ji Dong floated down to stand in front of the Soaring Serpent.
"Senior Soaring Serpent." The Soaring Serpent straightened the front half of its body, maintaining the same height as Ji Dong, and said: "Little Dong Dong, what are you thinking about? Your mind is not your own, this is not a good sign. Is it because you've been too lonely in your training? "
Ji Dong shook his head, and said: "It's nothing."
The Soaring Serpent chuckled and said: "It looks like your devil energy has been consolidated. Since there's nothing else, I will start teaching you Devil Skills today, so that practicing Devil Skills will not be so boring and boring. Tell me, how do you differentiate Devil Skills?"
Ji Dong said: "Devil Skills are differentiated according to the five elements, yin and yang attributes, divided into ten types, there are attack, defense, control, transformation, and so on."
The Soaring Serpent shook its head, and said: "No matter how it changes, it still remains the same. In my opinion, Devil Skills are divided into two types, one is close combat attacks, the other is control attacks, and defense is the same."
"In theory, close combat attacks are definitely more powerful than control attacks, but the difficulty lies in the fact that it needs to be close to the opponent, and the power of the attack is also limited by the range. Although the power of control attacks is weaker than close combat attacks, but it wins in the fact that it can change in a myriad of ways. More importantly, when carrying out control attacks, the Devil Master has sufficient time to observe the battlefield situation, and make the most correct choice. Therefore, most outstanding Devil Masters mainly focus on control attacks, just like your Master's wife and your Master Ancestor."
Ji Dong's heart stirred. According to the Soaring Serpent's words, the Devil Skills he had inherited from the two Sovereigns should be classified as close combat devil skills. Even the Dark Moon Flame, which was a long distance devil skill, did not seem to be a control attack.
The Soaring Serpent said: "What I am going to teach you now, is the control attack devil skill. When your Master Ancestor and the rest return, they will teach you the C fire element. If you are able to combine these two elements together, you will definitely be able to bring out the advantage of having an ultimate dual fire. The D fire is the Yin fire, and since it is the Yin fire, it must be Yin, catching the opponent by surprise, and catching them off guard. My control devil skill, is released with the Soaring Serpent as the main body, using the Yin fire to condense into a Soaring Serpent form, and in harmony with the totem constellation, it can absorb the D fire devilish energy in the air to the greatest extent. Therefore, the first step you must take is to transform the totem into your own."
"Transform the totem into my own?" Ji Dong looked at the Soaring Serpent in puzzlement.
The Soaring Serpent nodded its head and said: "To be more accurate, it is to transform your Yin fire into a Soaring Serpent. In the process of condensing your devilish energy into a totem, it is not only a practice for your control of devilish energy, but also a preparation for your devil skill attack. Watch carefully."
As it spoke, a blue light flashed in the Soaring Serpent's eyes. Ji Dong could clearly feel the D fire elemental energy in the air rapidly condensing, gradually taking shape in front of the Soaring Serpent.
In the beginning, it was just an elemental energy that was hard to see with the naked eye, but as the devilish energy became more and more condensed, it gradually turned into specks of blue light, the light becoming more and more intense, gradually combining into a shape.
With the Soaring Serpent's strength, if he wanted to complete the process of transformation, he could do it in an instant. At this time, he was purposely slowing down the process, so that Ji Dong could see it clearly, and also better understand the entire process.
Gradually, the blue light gradually condensed into an illusory shadow, just like the totem that appeared on the back of a Fourth Fire Demon Master when he used a powerful devil skill.
However, the Soaring Serpent did not stop. More and more D fire elemental energy was poured into it, causing the shadow of the Soaring Serpent in front of him to gradually become clearer, clearer and more condensed. In the end, it actually looked exactly like the Soaring Serpent itself, as if it had a real body, and even its eyes were filled with a lively charm.
Seeing this strange scene in front of him, Ji Dong could not help but widen his eyes. The Soaring Serpent stopped pouring its devilish energy, and said: "Little Dong Dong, do you know why, although we are all Tenth Level Magical Beasts, we Heavenly Stems Divine Beasts are stronger than ordinary Tenth Level Magical Beasts?"
Ji Dong said: "Because you are Heavenly Stems Divine Beasts, you are able to better fuse with the devilish energy of your element, and also better control it."
The Soaring Serpent said: "That's right, as Heavenly Stems Divine Beasts, we are already in harmony with the will of the heavens. As a result, all the devil skills that the totem uses after transformation are the highest level of devil skills. At the highest level, we can even condense a pure energy Soaring Serpent with the exact same power as our original body, which is equivalent to creating another Soaring Serpent. Of course, at this point, no one has been able to do it, not even I can. But it is possible for you, because you have the Flame of Chaos. Chaos is creation. Remember these words of mine."
"Chaos is creation." Ji Dong's mind stirred. Although he still did not fully understand, he still firmly remembered these words.
The Soaring Serpent said: "Come, I will begin to teach you the devil skills of my Soaring Serpent lineage, from the basic skills to the ultimate skills. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own ability."
A year later, at the coast of the East Sea.
Ji Dong stood quietly on the beach, staring ahead. In a year's time, he had become a sixteen-year-old youth. At this time, Ji Dong had grown to about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure. His black hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his slightly dark bronze skin shone with a healthy luster. Under the illumination of the sun, a faint white halo could be seen vaguely under it.
Thirty meters away opposite him, Fury, the Thunder Emperor, was bare-chested, revealing his muscles that were ten times harder than granite. His strong physique was like a Hercules descending to the mortal world. His short bluish-purple hair stood erect, filled with a threatening aura, and his eyes flashed with cold lightning, as if thunder could erupt at any time.
Both of them were empty-handed. Fury did not use any magical weapon, and Ji Dong's Twin Radiance of Sun and Moon Gloves were not in his hands. They stared at each other, their gazes unyielding.
Not far away, Yin Zhaoyang, Yin Zhaorong, and Zhu Yan stood there, while the Divine Beast of Fire, the Soaring Serpent, lay lazily on the beach, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun. Their gazes were fixed on the two brothers.
"Little brother, I will not be lenient." Fury laughed loudly, and Hyōhime said.
Ji Dong said in a deep voice: "Me too, please advise me, senior brother."
Yes, this was the battle between the Thunder Emperor and Ji Dong. The day of the Holy and Demonic Passage opening was getting closer and closer. Although Fury had already left the Yin-Yang Hall, he still decided to participate in this operation. The honor of the continent was more important than an individual. Even if he was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Stem Academy, he would not miss this important event that was held once every five years.
Ji Dong clearly remembered what Yao Qianshu had said to him, saying that he would also participate in the battle of the Holy and Demonic Passage.
Whether to let him go or not became the focus of everyone's debate. The Soaring Serpent expressed its support, but Yin Zhaorong strongly opposed it. Originally, under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Ji Dong to be allowed to go, so the final decision fell into the hands of Yin Zhaoyang and Shengguang.
Yin Zhaoyang did not explicitly agree or disagree. He said that if Ji Dong could defeat Fury in a fair battle, it would prove that he had the ability to protect himself, and he could participate in the battle of the Holy Evil Island. Otherwise, he would have to wait for another five years.
Therefore, the current situation appeared. Ji Dong had lived here for more than a year. There was no doubt that in this year, his strength had undergone tremendous changes, and it was not the first time he had undergone a qualitative change.
However, the opponent he was facing now was the former first seat of the Yin-Yang School, and also the strongest person in the history of the Yin-Yang School — the Thunder Emperor. Just two months ago, under the protection of Yin Zhaoyang and Yin Zhaorong, Fury finally broke through the bottleneck of Seven Crowns, and officially advanced from a Yang-Thunder Heaven Warrior to a Yang-Thunder Heaven Master.
In terms of strength, with Fury and his Purple Thunder Sky Dragon, even the senior Third Fire Heaven Master Zhu Yan had to admit that he was no match for Fury.
Moreover, Fury's magic was of the Yang-Thunder attribute. The suppression of Ji Dong's Ultimate Dual Fire was far less intense than that of the five elements. Although Ji Dong had made great progress in this year, his magic was only at Level 47.
When Yin Zhaoyang proposed this challenge, Ji Dong understood that his grandmaster was indirectly rejecting his request. Level 47 was also Four Crowns. Four Crowns against Seven Crowns, Ultimate Dual Fire against Yang-Thunder. He could not produce any elemental advantage at all. This battle could be said to be extremely unfair. Neither side could use any magic weapons or magical beasts to help, but even so, did he have a chance of winning?
However, no matter what, Ji Dong chose to try. He wanted to verify the results of his hard work in the past year. He wanted to see how big the gap between him and his senior brother was.
There was no doubt that Fury and Ji Dong were both geniuses of their generation. Even Yin Zhaoyang could not judge how this battle would turn out. This was also a test for Ji Dong.
