Ji Dong closed his eyes. When he focused his mind on the Origin Yin Yang Crown in the golden and black vortex in his chest, he immediately felt that it was different from before.
There was no need for him to guide it at all. The Origin Yin Yang Crown immediately emitted a unique aura, and its own magic was quietly released, forming a special magnetic field around his body. The Third Fire and Fourth Fire elements in the air immediately condensed into his body at a faster speed.
As soon as these fire elements entered Ji Dong's body, they were immediately attracted by the vortex in his chest. They were like moths flying into a flame, and were assimilated by the Yin-Yang vortex, becoming a part of his own cultivation. Compared to before, not only was the speed of absorbing fire elements much faster, but the speed of digestion had also increased exponentially. In just a short hour of cultivation, Ji Dong felt that the effect was better than the previous few days of cultivation. Of course, this was not taking into account the situation at the Earth's Core Lake.
Just as Ji Dong was about to continue cultivating, someone knocked on his door. Ji Dong suddenly realized that he hadn't made a cocktail for President Yang today. Moreover, President Yang already knew of his current strength, so he would probably ask him.
He opened the door, and sure enough, it was President Yang Bingtian outside. Looking at Ji Dong, Yang Bingtian's eyes flashed with an indescribable complex light. He waved at him and said, "Ji Dong, come to my office for a while. You don't have to make a cocktail today, I have something to say to you."
"Oh, okay." Ji Dong closed the door and followed Yang Bingtian to his office.
Yang Bingtian pointed to the sofa and gestured for Ji Dong to sit down. He pulled a chair from the side and sat opposite Ji Dong. He stared at the fourteen-year-old boy in front of him with a burning gaze.
Ji Dong felt a little unnatural under Yang Bingtian's gaze. He said, "President Yang, why are you looking for me?"
Yang Bingtian sighed softly and said, "Ji Dong, I called you here to apologize to you."
"Ah? Why? You have always taken care of me. "Ji Dong looked at him in confusion.
Yang Bingtian shook his head and said, "All along, I have paid too little attention to you. Ever since you didn't pass the assessment in the first year, I have long given up on your cultivation because of your Yin and Yang Balance attribute. I have underestimated your determination. I really didn't expect that you would give me such a big surprise today. In the Yin And Yang Magician Guild, you are also the first Fire Magician with Yin and Yang Balanced attributes. You have already passed the most difficult stage. It is my fault that I couldn't help you with your cultivation. For the past four years, you have been mixing drinks for me so that I can taste the best cocktails. However, I didn't do what I promised you. You have been missing these past few days because you went to condense the Yin Yang Crown by yourself. This is all my negligence! "
Ji Dong suddenly realized that it was because of this that Yang Bingtian looked for him. In fact, he was filled with gratitude towards Yang Bingtian. If it wasn't for Yang Bingtian who brought him back, it would have been difficult for him to even eat, let alone become a Yin And Yang Magician. It would also be impossible for him to coincidentally open the Omnidirectional Indefinite Teleportation Scroll and see the Flaming Bar. For the past four years, Ji Dong had been seriously mixing drinks for Yang Bingtian. This in itself was Ji Dong's repayment to him.
"President Yang, if it wasn't for you bringing me back and taking care of me all these years, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. You have done a lot for me. I can't thank you enough."
Yang Bingtian smiled and said, "I am relieved to hear that. You are a sensible and good child. Although I don't know how you did it, but to be able to become a Yin And Yang Magician with a Yin and Yang Balanced Body, I can see how hard you have been working for the past four years. Let's not talk about the past. What are your plans for the future?"
Ji Dong said, "I have broken through the tenth level and reached the bachelor level. If possible, I hope you can also give me a chance to officially graduate from the Fire Academy and go to a higher school with Carr and Bissou. Since I have chosen the profession of Yin And Yang Magician, I will continue on this path."
Yang Bingtian nodded and said, "I have been thinking about this this afternoon. With your current strength, graduating smoothly is naturally not a problem. I have already asked Xia Tian to handle the graduation procedures for the three of you. Now, I have two choices for you. One is to directly get promoted to one of the three advanced Fire Magician Academies in the Southern Fire Empire. You can choose from any of the three academies. An outstanding student like you will definitely be fighting for them. The other option is to have both opportunities and risks. But if you can stand firm there, your future will be limitless."
Hearing the first option from Yang Bingtian, Ji Dong was already very satisfied. However, the latter's words couldn't help but arouse Ji Dong's interest.
"President Yang, what is the second option? Is there a risk in going to an academy? "
Yang Bingtian nodded and said, "That is the academy with the highest elimination rate in the entire continent. It is also the top elite academy in the entire continent. It doesn't belong to any country. It was founded by the continent's five great empires. Those who can further their studies there are all the best of the best. But if you can't meet the requirements of the assessment, you will immediately be eliminated. There is no room for negotiation. Moreover, even if you are recommended by our Fire Academy, you will still have to take their entrance exam. Only by passing the exam can you officially become a member."
Ji Dong asked thoughtfully, "Is the quality of education there very high?"
Yang Bingtian nodded and said, "It is worthy of being the best in the entire continent. In our Yin And Yang Magician world, it has a very important position. The top academies in the continent only teach some basic skills. Even the best students can only learn one or two skills. However, in this special academy, as long as you have enough strength, you can choose basic skills and skills at will. If you can pass the final assessment, you will even be rewarded with a killer skill. Students who can successfully graduate from this academy will be highly recognized in any country. Choosing that academy is undoubtedly a huge challenge. You will have to face the most outstanding students of the younger generation. You will have to bear enormous pressure and the possibility of being eliminated at any time. To be honest, if you consider the stability of your development, I don't really want you to choose this academy. But if you want to become an influential figure in the Yin And Yang Magician world, this is the best stage."
Ji Dong silently nodded and a light flashed in his eyes. He said, "Pressure is motivation. President Yang, I will choose the second path. What is the name of this academy?"
Yang Bingtian smiled and said, "I guessed that you would choose this. The pride in your bones will not easily yield to anything. This academy is named after the ten departments of Yin And Yang Magician. It is called the Heavenly Stem Academy. I have already told you all that I can tell you. The Heavenly Stem Academy has many secrets that belong to itself. As for whether or not you can know them, it will depend on how far you can go in the Heavenly Stem Academy."
Ji Dong thought to himself, it would be strange if an academy that was jointly established by the five great empires of the continent didn't have secrets. Just the reason for its establishment was enough to make one think deeply. And President Yang obviously knew about it. It was just that he was afraid of something that he couldn't tell him.
Yang Bingtian continued, "The Heavenly Stem Academy's admission method is very special. It doesn't recruit students from the outside. Every year, the Heavenly Stem Academy will give thirty spots to each of the five empires, and the academies of the empires will divide the spots and recommend them. This recommendation spot is like an admission ticket. Only with it will you be qualified to take the entrance exam. Speaking of which, your luck is quite good. The recommendation spots for the Heavenly Stem Academy will change every year. In the past few years, our academy's Zhu Tian and Zhu Gui have both been admitted to the Heavenly Stem Academy. This year, we have a total of three recommendation spots, accounting for one-tenth of our Southern Fire Empire. It just so happens that the three of you have successfully condensed the Yin Yang Crown. Bissou and Carr have already made the same choice as you. As for whether or not you can continue cultivating together in the future, it will depend on your own abilities. "
Ji Dong said, "We won't disappoint President Yang's expectations."
Yang Bingtian said, "Tomorrow is the holiday. Carr and Bissou will go home to reunite with their families. If you still want to stay here, you must cultivate hard during this period of time. Try to improve before the Heavenly Stem Academy's entrance exam three months later. Actually, I'm not worried about whether or not you can get into the Heavenly Stem Academy. Your Yin and Yang attribute is enough to knock on the door of the Heavenly Stem Academy. I also need to go out tomorrow. Before I leave, I will give you three recommendation letters. When the time comes, you, Carr, and Bissou can go together. We've been together for four years and enjoyed your bartending service for four years. This bracelet is for you as a souvenir. "
As he spoke, Yang Bingtian took off the bracelet on his wrist that seemed to be carved out of rubies and stuffed it into Ji Dong's hand.
Ji Dong had seen Yang Bingtian make things out of thin air through this bracelet more than once. He naturally understood its preciousness and said, "President Yang, you have given me too much. I can't take anything from you anymore."
Yang Bingtian's face sank and he insisted on stuffing the bracelet into Ji Dong's hand. He said, "Don't refuse. Just take it as your salary for the past four years. This bracelet has a storage function and can store ten cubic meters of items. With it, it will be much more convenient for you on the road. Don't forget, you are the best bartender I have ever seen. A bartender without bartending utensils and wine, what do you look like? I also gave you all the wine in your room. Take it with you. I also left five hundred gold coins in the bracelet for your travel expenses. It's very simple to use. You just need to inject the Third Fire Magic into it, and you can naturally open the separate space for storage and storage of items. "
Ji Dong still wanted to refuse, but he was stopped by Yang Bingtian and said, "Don't refuse anymore. As long as you don't forget the Fire Academy when you become successful in the future, it's enough. I still have a lot of similar storage tools. This thing is not too precious. Well, as we are about to say goodbye, aren't you going to make me another cocktail?"
Putting the red bracelet on his wrist, the bracelet automatically stuck to Ji Dong's skin, sending a faint warmth. Ji Dong didn't say anything more, but Yang Bingtian's kindness was deeply engraved in his heart.
Watching Ji Dong leave his office, Yang Bingtian's face showed a trace of a smile. He said to himself, "Silly boy, you have been fooled. I have been drinking the wine you made for four years. How can I be willing to leave you, the unparalleled bartender? Soon, we will meet again."
Bissou and Carr weren't surprised at all that Ji Dong had chosen the Heavenly Stem Academy. At the end of the second school year, Dean Yang Bingtian had indeed left the academy. Ji Dong and the other two had also received a recommendation letter and a map to the Heavenly Stem Academy from Teacher Xia Tian. The huge Fire Academy was as quiet as it had been in previous years.
Two months had passed in the blink of an eye. Ji Dong's life had become richer and more substantial than before. In these two months, in addition to working hard to improve his magic power, he had also added a new practice, and that was magic skills. The Flame Monarch and the Dark Flame Devil were the two most basic skills in his memory, and Ji Dong's practice method had also changed along with these two basic skills.
Every day, he would focus on cultivating his magical power for eight hours at the Geocentric Lake. But when he was at the Distant Fire Academy, he would put all his effort into cultivating these two skills. The reason was very simple, while cultivating these two skills, he would also improve his magical power. In the human world, the speed at which one's magical power increased when cultivating magic skills was no less than when he specialized in cultivating magic power. Since he could temper his skills and also improve his magical power, why not?
After taking a shower, Ji Dong walked out of his room. Living the same life almost every day for two months had made him somewhat bored. At least he could see Bissou, Carr, and the others during the school year, but he had been alone for the past two months. Although his cultivation base improved faster under such circumstances, the Flaming Bar once said that excessive rigidity was easy to break, so he needed to balance hardness with softness. Coincidentally, one of the cocktails that he was going to make for the Flaming Bar today had been used up, so he needed to go out to buy more. It was a good opportunity for him to go out for a walk to ease his tense mood.
After bidding farewell to the teachers who stayed behind in the academy, Ji Dong walked out of the Fire Academy. He had been here for four years, and the number of times he had actually stepped out of the academy could be counted with two hands. As soon as Ji Dong stepped out of the academy, a beggar who was sitting in a corner in front of the Fire Academy quietly stood up and ran in another direction.
