Three years later, in the evening.
Quietly sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ji Dong, who was already 14 years old, looked a lot more mature. At the age of 14, he had grown to nearly 1.7 meters tall. Perhaps it was because he had lived two lives, but now he seemed more mature.
Yang Bingtian's three years as an auditing student were quite free and unfettered. When Yang Bingtian decided to let him stay, he had his own selfish motives. At least, if Ji Dong stayed, he could continue to taste good wine.
Auditing student had its advantages. Ji Dong could go to the Third Fire series or the Fuhuo series at any time to listen to the knowledge he wanted to learn. At the same time, he had more time to practice.
After several coaxing and pestering, three years ago, the Flaming Bar agreed to let him stay at the Earth Core Lake for two more hours. In the past three years, he still did not waste a single moment.
His fourth year here was coming to an end. In this Fire Academy, no one knew that Ji Dong already had enough amazing strength.
His body was like a devouring abyss. The surface of his skin was constantly flashing red and blue lights. The Third Fire element and Fourth Fire element in the air were crazily pouring into his body. On his forehead, a total of five complete royal stars were neatly arranged. Except for the royal star in the center, which was shining alternately red and blue, the royal star on the left of his forehead was blue above and red below, and the two royal stars on the right were red above and blue below. Obviously, the left half of his body was dominated by the Fuhuo series magic, and the right half by the Third Fire element magic, which created such a strange royal star. The five complete royal stars represented only one meaning.
A level-ten Third Fire element apprentice.
Yes, after three years of hard practice, plus the time spent at the Earth Core Lake, Ji Dong's strength had made great progress. With the two fire seeds given to him by the Flaming Bar as a starting point, the Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and the Dingsi Infernal Spiritual Fire had both reached the level of a level-ten apprentice not long ago.
As agreed three years ago, the talented Bissou and Carr had also reached the same level not long ago and began to condense the Yin-Yang Crown. Due to their outstanding performance, they had now entered seclusion under the guidance of their teachers, Xia Tian and Qiu Tian, to condense the Yin-Yang Crown that belonged to them.
Compared to them, Zhu Gui had already condensed her Yin-Yang Crown at the end of the third year. At the same time, she did not continue to stay in the Fire Academy and was directly recommended to a higher school. It was said that she went to the same advanced Yin And Yang Magician Academy as her brother, Zhu Tian. As for the specific location, Ji Dong and the others did not know.
Carr and Bissou became the focus of the academy after Zhu Gui, but no one paid attention to Ji Dong, who was just an auditing student. Even Yang Bingtian rarely mentioned cultivation to Ji Dong. The old dean was kind and had offered to send Ji Dong to the Bartenders Guild many times, but Ji Dong had always refused.
The half an hour in the evening, which was suitable for cultivating the balance of Yin and Yang, was soon over. Ji Dong opened his eyes, which flashed with a faint golden light. His gaze fell on his hands, and with a thought, two flames suddenly appeared in his palms.
The left palm was blue Fire Ding, and the right palm was red Fire Bing. One blue and one red, it was very strange.
Then, the expression in Ji Dong's eyes changed. His left pupil suddenly became darker and deeper, and his right pupil turned golden. In an instant, his entire temperament changed, and an aura of pity was released from his body.
The five stars on his forehead also changed at the same time. The original red was replaced by gold, and the blue was replaced by black. The gold and black lights intertwined with each other, and at the same time, the flames on his hand also changed.
The golden Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire was filled with a majestic aura of extreme Yang.
The black Ding Si Netherworld Spiritual Fire was filled with a haze of extreme Yin and softness.
With a flash of light, the gold and black colors quietly retreated, and returned to the red and blue colors from before. The Divine Yin Yang Lock Technique had quietly hidden Ji Dong's ultimate dual flames.
The so-called Divine Yin Yang Lock was actually a way to use one's will to control the attributes of one's own magic power. Under the condition that the source of the magic power did not change, the Yin and Yang attributes would be reduced, and the output of the flames would only have the effect of ordinary Bing and Ding magic power, so that no flaws would be exposed. This was undoubtedly a very useful ability, and it was the best way to hide one's true strength.
Not only could it control the fire attribute, but it could also control the amount of magic power Ji Dong released. Within the five stars, Ji Dong could now release whatever level of ability he wanted, and the stars on his forehead would change accordingly. Even after condensing the Yin Yang Crown in the future, he could also control the degree of power he released to confuse his opponents.
Retracting the flames, a satisfied smile appeared on Ji Dong's face. It had been four years since he came here, and he could finally advance to the level of a true Yin And Yang Magician. The Flaming Bar said yesterday that he should be able to condense the Yin Yang Crown tonight. A sense of anticipation that he had not felt for a long time filled his heart. However, before going to the Earth's Core, he did not forget to make a glass of fine wine for Yang Bingtian. He had to keep his promises. This was not just a matter of integrity, it was also his principle.
Holding the glass of wine, Ji Dong arrived outside Yang Bingtian's office and knocked on the door.
"Is it Ji Dong? Come in." Yang Bingtian's deep voice rang out, and only then did Ji Dong push the door open and enter. He walked to Yang Bingtian's desk and put down the glass of wine.
Yang Bingtian lifted his head to look at him, and could not help but feel a little dazed. The child from four years ago had now grown into a handsome young man. For the past four years, Yang Bingtian delivered fine wine at the same time every day, even when he was sick. This tenacity and perseverance alone was far beyond that of his peers.
"President Yang, I'm going out." After putting down the glass of wine, Ji Dong said goodbye to Yang Bingtian as usual and prepared to leave.
"Ji Dong, wait a minute." Yang Bingtian seemed to have made up his mind.
Puzzled, Ji Dong asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yang Bingtian sighed and said, "Ji Dong, you've been in the academy for four years, and you've been mixing wine for me for four years, but I'm unable to fulfill my promise to help you become a true Yin And Yang Magician. I can't delay you any longer. Go back and pack your things. After this semester ends, I'll send you to the Bartenders Guild. I can't ruin your future because of my selfishness."
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "This is my own choice. I like this place, so I'm staying."
Yang Bingtian said, "I know that you have a good relationship with Bissou and Carr, but they might be able to condense the Yin Yang Crown in the near future. For such outstanding prodigies, the academy will directly recommend them. I'll exercise the dean's recommendation and directly recommend them to higher education institutions to further their studies. They're leaving too, so why do you still want to stay? Although you're still young, this is the most important period for you. "
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Thank you, President Yang. Let's talk about it after this semester ends. Let me think about it."
Yang Bingtian picked up the cocktail with a smile and said, "Don't worry. Although I can't send you to the headquarters of the Bartenders Guild, I can at least recommend you to the Bartenders Guild of the Southern Fire Empire. This old drunkard will more or less have some face. I believe that you'll have a bright future there. In fact, I'm more reluctant to see you go than anyone else. Except for the wine you mix, I can't drink any other good wine now. "
After saying goodbye to Yang Bingtian, Ji Dong went back to his room and thought to himself, 'President Yang, I'll definitely give you a surprise in the final exam of the fourth year. I hope to leave with Carr and Bissou, but I don't want to be separated from them.' 'Zhu Gui, although I can't be your opponent in the Fire Academy, I'll definitely catch up with you in the higher education institutions.'
Standing behind the bar, Ji Dong's face gradually revealed a trace of a smile. His gentle smile was filled with memories and feelings that grew deeper and deeper in the past four years. Even if it was just a crush, in his heart, this feeling became deeper and deeper. Nobody knew when the mixer had jumped into his hand. He didn't even need to use his eyes to look at it. The bottles had already been tipped over in his hand. The flying mixer brought dazzling colors as it danced in his hand. His focused emotions were released without reservation.
Pouring the wine into the glass, he placed his right hand on his chest and softly called the name that he would never forget. The Red Lotus swept over and enveloped Ji Dong's body. Under the faint red light, he had already disappeared quietly.
The familiar warmth and the surging dual attribute fire element quickly enveloped Ji Dong's body. Even though he had never ventured deep into it, nor did he have the ability to do so, he knew the situation of the geocentric lake like the back of his hand. After all, he had already spent more than a thousand nights here.
"Are you ready?" The gentle voice of the Flaming Bar sounded. It seemed to be condensed from light as it appeared out of thin air in front of Ji Dong and took the glass from his hand.
It had become Ji Dong's habit to take a deep look at the Flaming Bar. It was as if every time he came here, he wanted to brand the figure of the Flaming Bar more deeply in his heart.
It had been four years, and he had never asked about Raging Flame's origins. Four years had not left any traces of time on Raging Flame's body. She was just as breathtaking as when Ji Dong first saw her, and she was still as perfect as ever.
"I think I'm ready." Ji Dong raised his hands. There was no need for him to hide anything here. The golden Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and the black Ding Si Underworld Spiritual Fire rose from his palms at the same time. They rose to a height of a few meters, and the five gold and black dual-colored stars on his forehead also became unusually dazzling.
The Flaming Bar Hyōhime nodded and said, "Since you're ready, let's begin. For you, this is the most important moment in the early stages of cultivation. No matter what you feel later, you must not waver. I can only be a guide. The real condensation of the Yin Yang Crown still depends on your own strength."
Ji Dong clenched his fists tightly. With a poof, the flames on his hands extinguished at the same time. He said, "I will definitely succeed." These simple words were filled with unparalleled determination and perseverance. There was also the pride from his previous life that had never disappeared.
The Flaming Bar slowly tasted the wine and moved his feet lightly. Ji Dong only saw a blur in front of his eyes. The Flaming Bar had already circled around his body. Immediately after, Ji Dong clearly saw that in the geocentric lake below them, magma surged up, and a huge pillar of fire with a diameter of five meters shot up into the sky.
Ji Dong was not surprised by such a change, nor would he waver. He believed that the Flaming Bar would not harm him.
The pillar of magma stopped under their feet. The Flaming Bar emptied one of her hands and pressed down casually. The pillar of fire immediately seemed to solidify, and a circular platform appeared at the top. A very familiar pattern appeared in front of Ji Dong. It was a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish. The only difference was that the white in the Yin Yang Fish had turned into gold.
Tai Chi was divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang were Yin and Yang. How did the Flaming Bar know about this pattern in this world?
Before Ji Dong could think too much, the Flaming Bar said, "Sit down with your legs crossed. You can start now. Don't think too much, I'll always be by your side."
There was no need for the Flaming Bar to deliberately move. Ji Dong sat down in the middle of the Yin Yang Fish. He was surprised to find that the dual elemental fire around his body was no longer the usual Third Fire and Fourth Fire. Instead, it was the same as his current elemental source, the Third Yang Element and the Fourth Yin Element. It was obvious that the Flaming Bar had created the most suitable environment for him to condense the Yin Yang Crown.
Closing his eyes, Ji Dong crossed his hands between his legs. Other than his thumb, he crossed his other four fingers together. His palms were facing up, and his thumbs were facing each other. Just like his own Yin and Yang Balance Physique, he maintained a relatively balanced state of his body at this moment.
The dual elemental magic in his body lit up at the same time, and the five dual-colored stars on his forehead became exceptionally clear. After four years of hard work, he was finally starting to condense his own Yin Yang Crown.
In these four years, he had learned enough theoretical knowledge. The Yin Yang Crown was the symbol of the Yin And Yang Magician, and at the same time, the representation of the Yin And Yang Magician's strength. There was a limit to the human body's tolerance. Even the most pure of the five elements, the earth element, would have a strong destructive effect on the human body when it reached a certain concentration. Therefore, when the Yin And Yang Magician's cultivation reached a certain level, and his body could no longer tolerate any more elemental energy, he would need to condense the Yin Yang Crown to achieve his goal of continuous improvement. Therefore, the Yin Yang Crown was also the source and foundation of the Yin And Yang Magician's magic.
