In the Fire Academy, Ji Dong began to live a regular, peaceful, and even boring life. Every morning, he would train for an hour at the intersection of Yin and Yang. After breakfast, he would start the day's lessons, learning the various knowledge of Yin And Yang Magician. In the evening, he would train for another hour, then make a cocktail for Yang Bingtian. After dinner, he would return to his room and make a glass of wine for the Flaming Bar. Then, he would bring the wine to the Earth's Core and begin the most important six hours of training.
Ever since they were stimulated by Zhu Gui, both the effeminate Bissou and the tall and muscular Carr devoted themselves to training. They did not even come to Ji Dong's place to drink. Both of them improved very quickly. Not only did they become level-1 apprentices, but they were also the best among the first years, second only to Zhu Gui.
The teachers did not pay much attention to Ji Dong. Even Yang Bingtian would only occasionally ask about his training progress. Naturally, Ji Dong would not reveal that he was training at the Earth's Core Lake. He just brushed it off. Therefore, no one knew his specific training progress and level.
In the blink of an eye, a school year had passed. It was time for the end-of-term examination.
"Flaming Bar." Placing his hand on his chest, Ji Dong once again called out the name that haunted him. The familiar Red Lotus quietly wrapped around his body and disappeared from the room.
Ji Dong had experienced this process more than 300 times. He could not be more familiar with it. Everything was the same in the fiery red world. The Red Lotus turned into a bubble and supported Ji Dong's body.
"You're here." The Flaming Bar smiled and took the cocktail from Ji Dong's hand. Ji Dong only nodded, but his eyes never left her face.
Almost a year had passed. Ji Dong could only see the Flaming Bar for a short moment every day. After receiving his cocktail, the Flaming Bar would leave and let him cultivate on his own. After more than 300 days and nights, Ji Dong's admiration for the Flaming Bar did not diminish at all. Instead, it grew stronger. Although he did not really understand the Flaming Bar, and his conversations with the Flaming Bar were only as simple as a few words, the cocktails he made every day were more emotional than the day before. Ji Dong did not know if the Flaming Bar could sense this, but he was sure that his bartending skills had recovered to more than 50% of what they were in his past life. If it was not for the fact that the wine in this world was slightly different from his past life, he would have recovered even more. Furthermore, the Flaming Bar had always been satisfied with his cocktails and never had any objections.
"This cocktail is called Gentle Sea Breeze. It has a wave-like texture, with a continuous impact …" As usual, Ji Dong introduced the cocktail he made today to the Flaming Bar.
The Flaming Bar listened to him and slowly savored the glass of Gentle Sea Breeze. Both of them had formed a tacit understanding. Tasting the cocktail was one of the joys of the Flaming Bar while listening to Ji Dong's explanation. Watching the beautiful lady drink the cocktail that he made for her was also a joy for Ji Dong. When he saw the Flaming Bar's expression change because of the taste of the cocktail, Ji Dong felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
When Ji Dong finished his explanation, the wine in the glass was finished. Just as Ji Dong was about to be sent to the cave wall by the Flaming Bar to start cultivating, the Flaming Bar spoke up.
"Ji Dong, tomorrow is the end of your first year. Are you going to amaze everyone in the end-of-term examinations?" The Flaming Bar returned the glass to Ji Dong and asked with a smile.
Actually, Ji Dong had grown a lot since a year ago. Of course, it wasn't in terms of age. After a year of cultivation, he was no longer as skinny and weak as he used to be. Although he wasn't as tall and strong as Carr, he looked like an ordinary eleven year old youth. He had grown a little taller, and his bronze skin was filled with a healthy luster. He had the standard short hair of a male student in the academy. His gaze had become more resolute and steady. Although he wasn't considered handsome, his steady temperament left an impression easily.
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment. "How did you know that I'm going to take the end-of-term examinations tomorrow?"
The Flaming Bar smiled and said, "Actually, I know everything about you. The Red Lotus can not only send you here and back, but it is also my eyes. This is the secret I told you before."
Ji Dong was enlightened. "I see. No wonder." Thinking back to the first time he came here to cultivate, Flaming Bar already knew that she had been watching over him.
"You haven't answered my question." The Flaming Bar said with slight annoyance. This was the first time Ji Dong had seen her reproachful and delicate face. It could be said that the moment he saw the Flaming Bar was the moment his willpower was at its weakest since he came to this world.
"I've never thought about amazing everyone with a single brilliant feat. I just want to cultivate hard and become a true Yin And Yang Magician as soon as possible."
The Flaming Bar said thoughtfully, "Do you crave power that much?"
Ji Dong said, "Yes, I crave power. Without power, I'm nothing in this world. Moreover, since I've chosen this profession, then I must do my best and put in all my effort."
The Flaming Bar nodded and said, "I believe that. It's been almost a year, and I've been watching your daily cultivation. Since the first time you came here to cultivate, you haven't wasted a single moment. Even though the effects of cultivating here for six hours are ten times better than the two hours you spent cultivating on the surface, you never gave up on that period of cultivation. Three hundred days are like one day. This perseverance is really rare. I've also drunk your wine for a year. If you don't mind how your classmates look at you, then I have something to teach you. It will be very beneficial for your future cultivation."
"You want to teach me?" Ji Dong asked in surprise. Eighty percent of the joy in his heart was not because of what the Flaming Bar had to teach him, but because he would have more time to see the Flaming Bar. Just looking at her and listening to her voice would cause Ji Dong's hormone secretion to accelerate. Although it wouldn't be as embarrassing as the first time, the indescribable intoxication could be said to be the only entertainment that Ji Dong had this entire school year. No matter how boring and arduous cultivation was, as long as he saw the Flaming Bar once, his heart would become more resolute. What he didn't mention was that one of the main reasons why he pursued power was because of the Flaming Bar. He knew that the current him was not worthy of the Flaming Bar no matter what. He had to become stronger. Only when he became as strong as the Flaming Bar, would he truly have the qualifications to pursue her. Cultivating to become a Yin And Yang Magician was his only path now.
The Flaming Bar nodded slightly and said, "Look." As she spoke, she put her right hand in front of Ji Dong. In a flash of light, two tiny flames appeared in her palm.
One was a golden flame, which exuded the aura of the Third Fire Magic. However, it was different from the Third Fire Magic that Ji Dong usually felt. The Third Fire energy contained in this golden flame seemed to be extremely rich. Although it looked like it was only a little bit, the aura of the Third Fire Magic was much stronger than his own Third Fire Magic.
And the other flame was black, quiet and dark, that faint black flame gave people a more intense feeling, gloomy and mysterious, like a flame from the Nine Serenities of Hell. Compared to it, his own corrosive fourth fire magic power might not be worse in terms of energy intensity, but the Yin Qi in the attribute was much worse.
"These are two seeds, and also my reward for you mixing wine for me for a year. I will integrate them with your own Third Fire Magic to make changes. You should also feel that although the two flames in my hand are also Yang Fire and Yin Fire, they are much purer than the two magic you are currently cultivating. This is also the fire I use. The golden one is called Third Heaven Primordial Yang Sacred Fire, and the black one is called Ding Si Dark Yin Spiritual Fire. With the addition of these two seeds, you will also have the same flame as me. However, there is a premise that I must tell you, the magic that you have worked hard to cultivate for a year will be concentrated and burned because of the transformation into these two flames, and the magic will be greatly reduced. So, you have to think clearly whether you are willing or not."
"Of course I am willing, Flaming Bar, let's start now." Ji Dong said almost without hesitation. In fact, when the Flaming Bar said that he would have the same flame as her, Ji Dong did not think about any more problems in his heart. To be able to have the same flame as her was a kind of happiness for him.
The Flaming Bar said, "Don't be impulsive. The magic that you have worked hard to cultivate for a year may not be left with much. Are you willing to waste a year of hard work?"
Ji Dong looked deeply at the Flaming Bar, and a trace of pride showed in his eyes. He said, "If I can work hard for a year, I can work hard for a second year. How can I not understand the principle of breaking and building? Using a year of hard work in exchange for a qualitative change, this is definitely worth it."
"Breaking and building? That's a really good saying. " The Flaming Bar looked at Ji Dong with some surprise, and said, "You've really made me look at you in a different light. As expected of a physique with a balance of Yin and Yang like me. Believe me, you will definitely rejoice in the decision you made today."
A faint golden light shot out from the Flaming Bar's eyes. Ji Dong only felt his vision blur, and then he lost consciousness. A layer of red light wrapped around his body in time, preventing him from falling.
The Flaming Bar gently rubbed his head, and said, "Ji Dong, you really didn't disappoint me. I'm more and more interested in you now. Did you know, I actually don't want to see you anymore, because you make me feel used to it? To me, this is a kind of shackle that I can't have. If you had hesitated just a little bit, I could have hardened my heart to chase you away. Or if you didn't say that 'breaking and building' at the end, I wouldn't have drunk your wine. But now, it looks like my habit will continue. Breaking and building, what a good 'breaking and building'! Since it's already a habit, then I always have to do something for this habit. This feeling is really strange. I want you to disappoint me and drive you away, but I also want to be able to taste the wine you make. This feeling, this is the first time since I was born. Let me see how long your persistence can last, and how determined you are. "
As she spoke, her palms with two kinds of flames quietly turned over and branded on Ji Dong's chest. Ji Dong's body trembled slightly. Then, red and blue, the two-colored airflow seemed to be forcibly squeezed out and overflowed from Ji Dong's pores.
"Poof …" Gold and black, the two-colored flames were ignited in an instant. The surging flames suddenly filled the red bubble that wrapped around Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar. It felt like the overflowing Third Fire Magic and Fourth Fire Magic from Ji Dong's body were the fuel of the gold and black flames. At this moment, on Ji Dong's forehead, there clearly appeared two corona stars with double shadows.
A corona star was in the center, but it was not half red and half blue like when he was a first-level apprentice. Instead, it was a red corona star and a blue corona star alternating, but both were complete starlight. On the right side of this corona star, which was to the right side of Hyōhime's body, was a double shadow of a corona star. The upper layer was red and the lower layer was blue. It was also a complete corona star.
Among the teachers of the Fire Academy, who would have thought that in this short period of one year, Ji Dong, a dual-element cultivator with balanced Yin and Yang attributes, who was regarded as trash, had already reached the strength of a fourth-level apprentice in the fire element? It should be known that a fourth-level apprentice, even if it was a second-year student who could achieve it at the end of the term examination, was already an excellent result. When it came to third-year students, this was a common result!
Although Ji Dong had the most suitable place to practice in the geocentric lake, it was not an exaggeration to say that diligence made up for his shortcomings. This was also why Flaming Bar had asked him whether he wanted to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat or absorb the seeds of her two special flames. How could an eleven-year-old student who had the strength of a fourth-level apprentice in the fire element not cause a sensation?
While in a coma, Flaming Bar's voice rang in Ji Dong's mind. This voice was directly imprinted in the deepest part of his heart, "The third fire is the Yang fire, and the third fire is the Yang fire. The fourth fire is the Yin fire, and the fourth fire is the Dingsi fire, which is the Dingsi fire is the Yin fire, and the fourth fire is the Dingsi fire. They are all the kings of fire, and have the ability to subdue all fire. Don't show them unless you are in danger. Learn to hide your strength, and you will have a better chance to survive. Next, I'll teach you the method to restrain the Ultimate Twin Flames, the Divine Lock of Yin and Yang. This method will allow you to store the purest power of Yin and Yang in the Ultimate Twin Flames, and only when you need it, will you be able to unleash the true power of Bing Wu Primordial Yang Flame and Ding Si Netherspirit Flame.
