After an unknown period of time, Ji Dong woke up from his slumber. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the depression of the cave wall, and his entire body was in a strange state.
The first thing that Ji Dong felt was not the change in his mana, but his vision. As he looked ahead, the magma lake in front of him seemed to have become clearer. Moreover, he did not need to use his mind to feel it. Just by looking at it, he could easily distinguish the large amount of Bing Fire Element and Ding Fire Element that had condensed above the magma lake. The blue and red elemental light converged into ribbons, and it was a spectacular sight.
Not only that, but he could also clearly see the changes in every bubble in the magma. His vision was many times better than before.
Vision was only a part of it. Ji Dong, whose innate six senses were superior to ordinary people, immediately felt that his six senses had been enhanced in all aspects, especially the feeling of his mental strength, which had been enhanced several times.
He recalled the teachings of the Flaming Bar when he was in a coma, and the Yin-Yang Lock Technique immediately appeared in his mind. At the same time, his attention also fell on the dual mana in his chest.
When he first started cultivating, his Bing Fire Element and Ding Fire Element were like two light spots the size of mung beans. After a year of cultivation, these two light spots had increased to the size of broad beans. However, at this time, when he focused his mental strength on his chest, Ji Dong found that his dual mana had been restored to its original state, which was the mana of a level-1 apprentice. The difference was that the original blue and red light spots had now become gold and black.
"Are these the seeds of the Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and the Ding Si Netherworld Spiritual Fire? The flames of extreme Yang and extreme Yin. " Ji Dong was not depressed because of the weakening of his mana. Instead, he was filled with excitement. When he saw the two colored flames in the Flaming Bar's hands, he felt the terrifying strength of the pure energy. His mana could be re-cultivated, and he could still recover to the level of a level-4 apprentice in a year. However, this flame source could not be obtained by cultivation. Just from the changes in his body, he could see how powerful the attributes of these two flames were. The Flaming Bar had really given him a big gift!
"Flaming Bar, thank you." Ji Dong shouted in the direction of the magma lake.
A ray of light shot out from the magma lake and floated in front of Ji Dong before stopping. At this moment, Ji Dong realized that the red barrier that had always been protecting him had not appeared. Even in the world of the Core Lake, he still did not feel any scorching heat. It was as if he was in his own room, neither warm nor cold.
That ray of light was the empty wine glass. The Flaming Bar's voice came from all directions, "Don't be surprised. The Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and the Ding Si Netherworld Spiritual Fire are the kings of fire. Although you've just fused with them, you already have a certain level of resistance to fire. Remember the Divine Yin Yang Lock technique that I've taught you. When you're free, go back and cultivate it. Don't reveal your Ultimate Fire unless you're strong enough. Six hours are up, you should go back now."
The Red Lotus reappeared and wrapped around Ji Dong's body as it quietly returned. When he returned to his room, he realized that the sky outside had gradually brightened. It was almost time for his daily dawn cultivation.
Ji Dong put the wine glass back on the bar counter and revealed a faint smile on his face. He thought to himself, 'It's been a year, Flaming Bar. Are you finally starting to accept me? I won't let you down. I'll only work harder in the coming days. '
The Divine Yin Yang Lock technique could be used to cultivate when he was unable to absorb Yin and Yang mana. At this time, he had to start cultivating dual mana again. He had been beaten back to his original state from a Rank Four Apprentice, so he naturally needed to put in more effort to recover.
After sitting cross-legged on his bed, Ji Dong was shocked when he first started cultivating.
Firstly, he only needed to use his will to calm his heart down. Immediately after that, the distribution of the Bing Fire Element and the Ding Fire Element that were a hundred times clearer than before appeared in his mind. Not only in the room, but his will even extended to 30 meters away. As soon as his will appeared, the two fire seeds in his chest pulsated slightly. Immediately after that, the two fire elements in the air surged toward his body at a speed that was several times faster than before. They turned into red and blue light spots and entered his body.
However, what made Ji Dong feel strange was that although the speed at which he absorbed the dual fire elements had increased a lot, the dual fire elements immediately disappeared after entering his body. It didn't feel like they were flowing through his body and condensing in his chest like they usually did.
The Flaming Bar did not tell him that these two types of extreme flames would be different from before. It was the complete opposite of the extremely detailed teaching methods of the teachers in the academy. Perhaps, the Flaming Bar wants me to understand it on my own. As Ji Dong strengthened his will to absorb the two fire elements from the outside world, he silently pondered about the changes in the flames.
Gradually, as the feeling of the past cultivation returned, the fire elements in his body began to slowly fuse with his chest again. Ji Dong discovered the mystery behind it.
At this moment, the speed at which he absorbed the fire elements from the outside world was at least five times faster than before, but the effect was no different from before. However, Ji Dong discovered that when the large amount of dual fire elements fused with his chest, although it was not proportional to the amount he absorbed, their colors were the same as the two fire seeds in his chest: gold and black. With this, he vaguely understood that his dual mana as a Level-4 Apprentice had only been transformed into the Ultimate Dual Fire of a Level-1 Apprentice. In terms of mana, it had shrunk to a quarter, and the strength of his mana was no different from when he was a Level-1 Apprentice. The only thing that had changed was the fire attribute. From this, it could be seen that the speed at which his mana increased did not change after absorbing the large amount of fire elements showed that a large amount of fire elements had been refined by his Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and Ding Si Infernal Spiritual Fire during the process of absorbing them, and turned them into fire elements of the same attribute before fusing with them. Hence, his rate of absorbing fire elements was four times faster than before, but the speed at which his mana increased did not change at all.
Not only was this not a bad thing, but it was also a great thing. Flames that required such refinement were only used to strengthen his own attributes, which showed how overbearing the attributes of these two Ultimate Fires were. Moreover, the dual fire elements in the air were limited when he cultivated in the academy. When he went to the Flaming Bar to cultivate again, wouldn't the endless Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and Ding Si Infernal Spiritual Fire improve his cultivation even faster than before? If his cultivation in the past was said to be a narrow path, then after the two fire seeds given to him by the Flaming Bar, there was no doubt that his cultivation would be on a broad path.
After finishing his morning cultivation, Ji Dong washed up briefly and went to the canteen for breakfast. As soon as he entered, he saw Bissou and Carr, who had already arrived. These two brothers of his were obviously excited today. When they saw Ji Dong, Bissou immediately waved at him and said, "Boss, we've prepared your breakfast for you."
Ji Dong came to the table and sat down. He looked at the two of them and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you two? Is there something to be happy about? "
Bissou said, "Boss, today is the end-of-term examination. It's the time to test the results of our cultivation this year. I heard that the dean will be here personally. Look at the others, those who look dejected are obviously those who did not do well in their cultivation. Those who look similar to us should have improved a lot. It's the same no matter which year they are."
Only then did Ji Dong remember that today was the end-of-term examination. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He certainly couldn't tell anyone about the changes in his flame, but this was the magic power of a level-1 apprentice. He was afraid that the teachers and President Yang's faces would be very ugly.
The end-of-term examination was conducted for each year, from low to high. All sixty-one first-year students of the Third Fire Department and the Fuhuo series came to the academy's auditorium as the first batch.
Sure enough, as Bissou said, President Yang was sitting in the center of the rostrum. Beside him, there was an older female teacher who looked about the same age as him, and the other teachers of the two departments. There were more than ten people in total.
Xia Tian stood on the side of the rostrum and said loudly, "The end-of-term examination for the first-year students of the Fire Academy will now begin. Whoever's name is called, go to the stage and release your magic power. The number of corona stars will be used as the final evaluation. The evaluation standard for the first-year students is that level-2 apprentices are qualified to pass, and level-3 apprentices are excellent. Now, let's start. Third Fire Department, Zhu Gui."
Hearing this name, Ji Dong, Carr, and Bissou all focused their attention. It had been a year. Although Zhu Gui didn't cause trouble for Bissou, she was also very unsociable and rarely communicated with other students. Except for class, she went back to her dormitory. It was said that her family spent a lot of money to live in a dormitory alone.
Zhu Gui's figure really made people speechless. Although she was only eleven years old, she already looked like an adult woman. Her body was slender, and her face was expressionless. She strode to the rostrum, saluted President Yang and the teachers, raised her hands, palms up, and with a poof, two red flames rose from her palms into the sky.
Suddenly, the auditorium was full of exclamations. After all, among the students, only Ji Dong and the other two had seen Zhu Gui's strength. On Zhu Gui's forehead, there were clearly three ruby-like stars.
Compared to the uproar of the first-year students, the teachers on the stage were very calm, as if they already knew that Zhu Gui's strength was far better than her peers. Yang Bingtian nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Tian said, "Zhu Gui, Third Fire Department, Seventh Level Apprentice, excellent results. Next, Third Fire Department, Carr. " In the name list in his hand, the order of the students was arranged according to their usual performance and general strength. Ji Dong was an exception, because his training time was different from the Third Fire Department and Fuhuo series students, so the teachers naturally would not pay much attention to a good-for-nothing like him, so his name was ranked last.
As expected, Carr did not disappoint Xia Tian. His hands were also ignited with red flames. Although it was much weaker than Zhu Gui's, the two complete Royal Stars were enough to prove his strength. Third Fire Department, Fourth Level Apprentice, to become a Fourth Level Apprentice within a year, there was no doubt about his talent and hard work. Compared to Zhu Gui, Teacher Xia Tian seemed to like Carr more. His fierce face showed a rare smile.
The assessment that followed was very fast. After all, all six years of the academy had to complete the assessment in one day, and each student only needed to release their magic on the stage to complete the assessment. One by one, they went up and down the stage like a horse lantern.
Most of the students' results were Second Level Apprentices, and occasionally a Third Level Apprentice would appear, which would be recognized by Xia Tian and given an excellent evaluation.
When it came to the Fuhuo series side, the first to go on stage was Bissou. Before Bissou went on stage, he deliberately gave Zhu Gui a provocative look, but Zhu Gui did not even look at him, and silently sat in the first place of the Third Fire Department students.
A strange blue flame emerged from Bissou's palm, and two blue stars impressively appeared on Bissou's forehead. Like Carr, he had also reached the strength of a Fourth Level Apprentice, and there was no doubt that he was the first Year Apprentice of the Fuhuo series.
One had to know that although Carr and Bissou both had 85% of their physical attributes, they would not be any less than Ji Dong in cultivating from an ordinary person to a Fourth Level Apprentice in this school year. Only by continuously cultivating every day and adding talent could they have such results. Of course, because Ji Dong had eaten the two Crystal Crowns that Yang Bingtian had given him, before obtaining the Ultimate Dual Fire, his dual magic was already close to a Fifth Level Apprentice, and was even above Carr and Bissou.
The Fuhuo series assessment gradually came to an end, and when Xia Tian called out Ji Dong's name, he closed the name list in his hand.
Ji Dong sighed in his heart. What was to come would come. He did not expect that he would have such an embarrassing day. Although he had gradually accepted his identity in this world, he could not forget the various things in his previous life, especially his pride as the God of Wine.
When he arrived at the rostrum, the first thing that greeted him was Yang Bingtian's smile and slightly comforting gaze. Over the past year, just like at the Flaming Bar, Yang Bingtian drank the fine wine that Ji Dong brewed every day. He would also give Ji Dong some advice on cultivation, and explain some more profound Yin And Yang Magician knowledge. However, perhaps because he did not have much confidence in Ji Dong's Yin and Yang Balanced Body, he did not ask about Ji Dong's situation.
Standing there, Ji Dong did not even raise his hands, because as a First Level Apprentice, he could not release flames. With a slight thought, a star appeared on his forehead. It was the red and blue star that represented a First Level Apprentice. The lone star was exactly the same as when he had just used the Crystal Crown.
