As he gradually regained consciousness, Ji Dong felt as if his body was enveloped in a scorching energy, as if he was soaking in a hot spring with a very high temperature.
As he slowly opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that all he could see was a fiery red color. Both his body and his body were warm, and he felt very comfortable being enveloped in this scorching heat. His consciousness gradually became clear, and everything that he had experienced before he fainted was still vivid in his mind.
Suddenly, as if he was being pulled by some kind of force, Ji Dong felt his body keep moving upwards. With a splash, he seemed to struggle free from something, and the red color in front of him faded away.
Only then did Ji Dong realize in shock that he was not soaking in a hot spring at all, but in a golden-red lava lake. There was also a layer of red light surrounding his body, and it was because of the protection of this light that he was not melted by the lava.
"Do you feel better?" The Flaming Bar's gentle and pleasant voice rang out. Hearing her voice, Ji Dong immediately felt as if his entire body was filled with energy.
He could not help but call out, "Flaming Bar, where are you?" After experiencing a near-death experience, he had never longed to see the Flaming Bar as much as he did now. At this moment, he understood even more deeply that he was no longer the carefree Li Thaing who could give up his life just to taste the best wine in the world. In his heart, she was also the first existence that surpassed wine.
The red light quietly bloomed, and the familiar figure seemed to step through the void, appearing in front of Ji Dong in one step. With a gentle wave of her hands, a gentle energy lifted Ji Dong's body up.
Looking at the Flaming Bar, who was half a head taller than him, Ji Dong's emotions surged. He instinctively grabbed the Flaming Bar's hands and said, "I thought, I would never see you again."
The Flaming Bar broke away from his hands without a trace, and patted Ji Dong's head, saying, "It was really dangerous this time. If it wasn't for your good luck and strong battle awareness, I'm afraid you really wouldn't be able to see me again. You humans are really sinister, it seems like you have to quickly increase your combat ability."
The Flaming Bar broke away from Ji Dong's hands, and could not help but feel a little disappointed. The feeling of inferiority filled his heart again, and the surging emotions from before quietly disappeared. He said, "Flaming Bar, why was I in the lava just now?"
The Flaming Bar said, "Although you defeated that person, you overdrafted yourself too much, and your origin was injured. I placed you in the lava lake at the earth's core to recuperate. That way, your origin Yin Yang Corona wouldn't degenerate due to overdraft."
Ji Dong looked at the golden sun and black moon brands on his palms, and said, "You saved my life. If it wasn't for the Scorching Sun Devour and the Dark Moon Claw, and without the two Ultimate Fires, I wouldn't have been able to live to see you again. I wonder how Liu Jun is doing."
The Flaming Bar said calmly, "The combination skill of two Ultimate Fires broke through his defenses and struck his vitals. What else could he have done? Ding Si's Netherworld Spirit Fire would have completely melted his body, just like how he wanted to kill you without leaving a trace. Right now, all traces of him have disappeared into that forest. "
"He's dead?" Ji Dong looked at the Flaming Bar in shock.
The Flaming Bar smiled, and said, "Why? Are you nervous about killing someone for the first time? It's Ji Dong. "
Ji Dong shook his head, and said, "Liu Jun has already gone mad. It's best if a scourge like him dies. I just didn't expect the effects of two Ultimate Fires to be so powerful. His magic power is sixteen levels higher than mine."
The Flaming Bar's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said, "If that's what you think, you're wrong. Although the Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and Ding Si's Netherworld Spirit Fire are Ultimate Fires, and can suppress low-level flames of the same element, the most they can help you is to contend against your opponent with the Yin Yang Corona of the same rank. You were lucky to be able to kill him."
As he spoke, the Flaming Bar waved his left hand, and a layer of red light condensed in the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a round disc. The center of the disc lit up, and an image appeared. It was the scene of the battle between Ji Dong and Liu Jun. The entire image started from the moment Liu Jun launched the Corrosive Fireball, but at a very slow speed.
The Flaming Bar pointed at the blue fireball, and said, "He didn't use his full strength for this attack. At most, he used thirty to forty percent of his magic power. It's obvious that he didn't want to kill you in one go. Otherwise, if he used his full strength, even if you could offset the Fourth Fire's attributes, the energy that was several times more than yours would be enough to tear you apart in an instant. His level is twice yours, but you have to know that the increase in magic power for each level is not constant. A level-29's magic power is at least four to five times that of your level-13 magic power. This is not something that can be made up for with an advantage in attributes, but it's precisely because he wanted to kill you that he gave you the chance. "
The image continued until Ji Dong was blasted away. Under the control of the Flaming Bar, the image zoomed in on Liu Jun's face, and she said, "Did you see that? The suppression of your Third Wu Primordial Sun Holy Fire on his attributes gave him a huge shock. This person obviously doesn't have much battle experience, but he still let you rush towards him. Moreover, at this time, his heart was already extremely scared, and he actually chose to defend passively. Even I didn't expect that when the two Sovereigns' standard skills, Scorching Sun Devour and Dark Moon Claw, landed on the same spot, the resulting effect was so strong that it broke through the layer of magic power. Moreover, you were able to quickly connect the two skills, and explode your attack power beyond your level. Throughout the entire process, if he could muster up the courage to attack you with all his strength, even if it was just one attack, you would be dead. Not only you feel lucky, I also feel lucky. If I was facing two Sovereigns at the same time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the chance to meet each other."
Speaking up to here, the Flaming Bar's left hand swiped across the screen, and the image in the air disappeared. She lowered her voice and said, "Before you leave the Fire Academy, stay here with me. You must first complete the first stage of magic skill training. I didn't tell you before, but as long as you can practice Scorching Sun Devour and Dark Moon Claw a thousand times, you will be able to learn these two skills, which is equivalent to the two Sovereigns' skills evolving. Do you remember how many times you practiced them?"
Ji Dong said, "Before I met Liu Jun, I practiced these two skills 512 times each. I practiced them every day in the Academy. After I used Scorching Sun Devour and Dark Moon Claw, I only had 30% of my magic left. It's not enough to use them again. I need to cultivate and condense my magic before I can practice them again. So I can only practice about eight or nine times a day. At night, I don't want to waste time practicing magic skills, so I absorb the two fire elements to increase my magic."
The Flaming Bar's eyes revealed a seriousness that Ji Dong had never seen before. She lowered her voice and said, "There are nine days left before you leave for the Middle Earth Empire. In these nine days, even if you don't sleep or rest, you must practice these one thousand times. The fire element in the Earth's Core Lake is abundant, which can help you recover your magic quickly. Moreover, you should have more experience in the use of Scorching Sun Devour and Dark Moon Claw after your previous performance, so you can use them better. In these nine days, you cannot have any time to rest, and I will always supervise you. Only with these two basic skills can you better protect yourself."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I will definitely work hard. However, Flaming Bar, I want to return to the Academy every day. After all, I can't let the teacher on duty think that I'm missing. At most ten minutes will be enough."
The Flaming Bar said, "Alright, time is pressing. Go back to the Academy first, then come back immediately and start."
"Alright."
Under the Red Lotus's escort, Ji Dong quietly returned to the Academy. It was the holidays now, so no one would actually notice whether he was in the Academy or not. If it was someone else, they would definitely go to the small forest to see if Liu Jun had really died without leaving any traces. However, Ji Dong didn't, because he didn't doubt the words of the Flaming Bar at all.
After hurrying back to his room, Ji Dong immediately went to the back of the bar, washed his hands, and picked up the familiar mixer. This was the real reason why he fought for ten minutes from the Flaming Bar every day.
When he called out the Flaming Bar's name again and returned to the Earth's Core Lake, there was a pink and blue cocktail in his hand.
The Flaming Bar took the cocktail from Ji Dong's hand, and a rare glint flashed in her eyes. She said, "Ji Dong, did you go back just to make a cocktail for me? Don't say that you don't want the teacher on duty to worry. You know, I can see everything about you."
Ji Dong scratched his head. "I still owe you ninety-five years, how can I just cut it off like this? Besides, it didn't take up much time, I'll start practicing now."
The Flaming Bar patted his head out of habit. Although Ji Dong felt helpless about the Flaming Bar's action, it was undoubtedly a good thing to have physical contact with her. It had been four years, he was used to it.
A layer of dazzling red light shone from the Flaming Bar's body, and turned into a stream of light that shot towards the Earth's Core Lake below them. When the light entered the Earth's Core Lake, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and the entire underground world seemed to tremble.
Not long after, under Ji Dong's astonished gaze, an irregularly shaped boulder with a diameter of about thirty meters slowly emerged from the magma lake. The boulder was dark red in color, and as soon as it emerged from the magma, it caused the already slightly distorted air to become even more illusory and hazy.
The Flaming Bar brought Ji Dong down slowly, and floated next to the boulder that was ten meters high from the magma lake. In an instant, the Flaming Bar's eyes turned crystal red, and Ji Dong could vaguely see illusory red lotus petals opening up in all directions. Then, the Flaming Bar swung her left hand.
The pale red blade of light drifted out, and looked like a thin layer of red muslin. It swept past the center of the boulder that even the magma could not melt.
The boulder did not move an inch, but a bright red line was left in the center.
The Flaming Bar retracted her left hand, and swung it upwards. Instantly, the bright red line rose, and the boulder above turned completely red. Then, it turned into red light spots, and scattered in the air.
Even the most beautiful fireworks were not as dazzling as the scene before them. The red light spots flew up, and formed a red bridge between Ji Dong, the Flaming Bar, and the flattened boulder.
Such an incredible scene was enough to intoxicate anyone. Below them was the magma lake, and in the center was the boulder that was as flat as a small island. This bridge that was completely condensed from energy stretched across the sky. The Flaming Bar's long dress swayed gently, and she brought Ji Dong along the bridge. With the help of the dense fire element, they arrived on the boulder in the blink of an eye.
"Release your mana, or else you won't be able to withstand the temperature on the stone platform. Remember, you have to maintain the appearance of releasing your mana to continue cultivating. You can start now."
Ji Dong nodded. With a thought, the Origin Yin Yang Crown in his chest that had recovered its vitality shone brightly, and the Yin Yang Vortex continued to spin. Of course, he did not need to use the Divine Yin Yang Lock technique in this place, and directly released all of his mana.
The Yin Yang Crown that shone with black and white colors appeared above his head. However, whether it was the crown star or the flame brand on the crown peak, they had become a combination of black and gold instead of the original red and blue colors.
Just as Ji Dong released his mana, the Flaming Bar also retracted the shield that was protecting him.
Although he had already released two types of Ultimate Fire, Ji Dong still felt a scorching heat rising from his feet. He did not dare to delay, and immediately began practicing the Benchmark Skill.
He took a step forward with his left foot, turned his body halfway, and threw a punch with his right hand. Every bit of Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire in his body followed his movement and condensed into his right fist. His right fist instantly turned into a brilliant gold, and suddenly struck the air, causing the surrounding air to ripple due to the high heat to spread.
Ji Dong only felt that the speed at which his mana condensed had increased compared to when he was practicing previously. This caused the speed at which he released the Scorching Sun Devour to increase, and his mana was also compressed in that instant. There was no doubt that the more the Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire was compressed, the more powerful the attack would be.
After throwing a punch, Ji Dong took advantage of the momentum and stepped forward with his right foot. At the same time, he waved his left hand, and the black Dingsi Netherworld Spiritual Fire appeared in the shape of a claw. It brought along a ray of light that looked like a black light slash. The two attacks were connected extremely quickly, and the mana in his body surged out.
"You're so stupid. You've been practicing for two months, but you're still not completely right." The Flaming Bar's stern voice was heard.
It was the first time that the Flaming Bar had spoken to him in such a tone. Apart from feeling curious, Ji Dong's heart also tightened. Apart from letting him cultivate here, helping him condense the Yin Yang Crown, and giving him the memories of the two Great Sovereigns, the Flaming Bar did not really give him any pointers. At this moment, the Flaming Bar did not leave just because he had started cultivating, for the first time. It was obvious that he wanted to guide him personally.
