A Level One Crystal Crown and a Level Seven Crystal Crown were obviously two different concepts. Ji Dong still remembered clearly that Master Xia Tian had once said that a Level One Crystal Crown was worth thousands of gold coins. Wouldn't the value of a Level Seven Crystal Crown be several times higher? He wouldn't accept such a big favor. He shook his head and said, "No, it's too expensive. I can't accept it."
Second Brother Zhu said, "Ji Dong, we're brothers from now on. As an older brother, it's not too much to give a younger brother a gift, is it? How about this, if you think it's too expensive, then just treat it as my payment to you? As long as you can provide me with Ultimate Dual Fire for six hours every week after you've achieved three Crowns and assist me in forging, these two Class 7 Crystal Crowns will be your remuneration for a year. "As he spoke, there was even a pleading look in his eyes.
Ji Dong was secretly shocked. Looking at Second Brother Zhu's expression, it seemed as if he had gotten the better end of the deal by giving away two Crystal Crowns. The Ultimate Dual Fire actually had such a huge effect, and the situation before him was undoubtedly a win-win situation. He had just arrived at the Heavenly Stem Academy, and it could be said that he had no friends and was weak. Second Brother Zhu could indeed be of great help to him, and more importantly, Ji Dong was indeed very interested in the Crystal Crowns.
"Brother Zhu, then can you tell me what is the difference between the Crystal Crowns and the cores of magical beasts? Why is the effect so much stronger than the cores?"
Second Brother Zhu was overjoyed when he heard that Ji Dong had changed the way he addressed him. "The biggest difference between Crystal Crowns and cores is that they are produced differently. Cores come from magical beasts, while Crystal Crowns come from …" At this point, his expression changed slightly. He paused and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this is something that only students who have achieved three Crowns can know. I can't tell you now, but don't worry, the Crystal Crowns won't have any side effects."
Second Brother Zhu said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I've never been willing to use these two Crystal Crowns. They contain almost the same amount of energy, so they're perfect for you. However, I can't give them to you now. I'll help you make them into magical weapons. This will be more beneficial for you. Since you've already joined the Yin Yang School, you'll be living here in the future. I'll go find you myself. Keep the medallion well, it's the symbol of your status as a special student of the Yin Yang School. With it, you can come and go as you please. Of course, you can't go to the core area. The underground area is called the Yin Yang School, and it's divided into six large areas. With your ranking, you can move freely in the outer three areas, but not the inner three. As for how to learn, Ye Xin will naturally teach you.
Ji Dong nodded. Even without Second Brother Zhu's reminder, he would still work hard to improve his own strength. Coming to the Heavenly Stem Academy, where there were so many strong people, was a big motivation for him. More importantly, he had made a promise to the Flaming Bar. Ji Dong swore in his heart that one day, he would have the strength to protect the Flaming Bar. At that time, he would be able to express his love for the Flaming Bar.
Thinking of the Flaming Bar, Ji Dong couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. People always needed motivation to move forward. Many people called this motivation as faith, and Ji Dong's faith was the Flaming Bar.
Two hours passed by quickly. When Ye Xin returned, Leng Yue was no longer by her side. After bowing to Elder Zhu again, she brought Ji Dong out of the magical weapon making room.
"What did Elder Zhu say to you? I can tell that he's very interested in you." Ye Xin asked Hyōhime.
Ji Dong smiled faintly and said, "Nothing much. He just asked about my dual fire elements. After all, he's also a fire element." Ye Xin gave Ji Dong a meaningful look and handed him a sheepskin map.
"Indeed, your dual fire element is enough to amaze the mentors of the school, even surpassing the genius Leng Yue. This is the map of our Yin-Yang School. Don't wander around and cultivate in your room. Don't go to the red areas on the map, or you'll have to bear the consequences. Every morning, you have to gather in the hall on the first floor of the school. You're a new member of the school, so there will soon be a special mentor to guide you. Every disciple of our Yin-Yang School will have an exclusive mentor. You must respect the mentor and cultivate hard. Remember, if you want to stay in the school, you must achieve at least two championships before the age of sixteen. Before reaching this level, you can't be considered an official student of the school. You can only be a preparatory student."
As she spoke, Ye Xin brought Ji Dong to the outermost circle of the Yin-Yang School. Each circle here was actually a floor. The deeper you went, the deeper you went. The place where Elder Zhu was previously was the third circle, which was also the third floor.
Ye Xin asked Ji Dong to sneak the token he had just obtained into a groove in the wall and inject a little Third Fire magic power into it. The door opened.
"You've just arrived at the school, so rest early. You can also walk outside at any time. The disciples of our Yin-Yang School have their own special cafeteria. The location is marked on the map. The token is the symbol of your identity in the school. Our school doesn't have any red tape like the opening ceremony. Remember to gather in the hall on the first floor tomorrow morning."
"Got it. Thank you, senior sister."
Ye Xin's explanation to Ji Dong was very simple. After all, water and fire were incompatible between any Water Magician and Fire Magician.
The layout of the room was very simple. The size was similar to Shui Ruohan's room. There was a bed, a table, all made of stone, and a brand-new set of toiletries and two sets of school uniforms.
Ji Dong unfolded the school uniform and looked at it. There was no mark on the bright red school uniform. Even compared with the Fire Academy, it was much simpler. In a way, the Heavenly Stem Academy was much more casual than the Fire Academy.
He finally settled down, but he couldn't rest yet. He didn't know how the assessment of Carr and Bissou was going. Holding the map and the token, Ji Dong left the Yin-Yang School and returned to the playground.
The entrance test on the playground was still going on, but Carr and Bissou were nowhere to be seen. Seeing Ji Dong's appearance, the official students who were responsible for the freshmen assessment of the two champions looked a little strange. It was no wonder that they were like this. A freshman almost killed an official student in the assessment. Who could treat him normally?
Ji Dong found an official student he had met before and asked about it. He received good news that Carr and Bissou had successfully passed the test with their combination skill. They had already become junior students and were going to register and handle the admission procedures.
He had just arrived at the Heavenly Stem Academy and was unfamiliar with the place and people. Now that his two brothers had successfully enrolled, Ji Dong had nothing to worry about. He simply returned to the dormitory he had just been assigned to. Finally, things had settled down. He couldn't wait to see the faith in his heart. Today, he could finally continue cultivating there.
Returning to his room in the Yin-Yang School, Ji Dong took out some alcohol from his storage bracelet and placed it on the table. There was no bar like in the Fire Academy, so the conditions here were much worse. However, it didn't affect his mixing skills. Even Ji Dong couldn't understand why. Although they could see each other every day, he still missed her so much. In this state of longing, he mixed a glass of fine alcohol.
"Flaming Bar."
The Red Lotus unfurled, wrapped around his body, and disappeared quietly.
On the rocky platform of the Earth's Core Lake, when Ji Dong appeared out of thin air, he saw her perfect form at first glance. A strong sense of happiness rose involuntarily. He was already satisfied as long as he could see her every time he came here. If he had been stunned when he first saw the Flaming Bar and was still able to control his heart, then after four years, his heart had long since fallen in love with her. In his heart, there was nothing more important than the Flaming Bar, so he allowed himself to indulge in it. She was his faith, an unchanging faith.
The Flaming Bar took the fine alcohol from Ji Dong's hand and smiled. "Ji Dong, that three-elemental combination skill today was pretty good."
Ji Dong said, "It was just a coincidence. I didn't think it would be like this. Flaming Bar, my Dual Fire Ultimate has been discovered."
The Flaming Bar took a sip of the cocktail in his hand and savored the taste and feeling. "Don't worry, people will find out about your ability sooner or later. Plus, that Zhu Er is an obsessed person, and he swore that he wouldn't tell anyone. This person is worth befriending. Magic-powered weapons are beneficial to magicians of any level. How about this, you can promise him that when your cultivation reaches three crowns, as long as you stay in the Academy for a day, you will use your Dual Fire Ultimate to help him for six hours a week. The condition is that when you need it, he will forge a full set of magic weapons for you, including mount equipment. You will provide the materials yourself."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
The Flaming Bar was slightly taken aback because Ji Dong's reply was too quick. There was no hesitation at all. He hurriedly took another sip of alcohol to cover up his loss of composure. He nodded and said, "Go ahead and cultivate. From now on, you will have to cultivate here for at least ten hours a day, of which at least four hours will be used to cultivate demonic skills. You should have also felt that in battle, although magic power is the foundation, demonic skills are the deciding factor. After obtaining the two Sovereign Skills, the foundation for the next level is two crowns of magic power and the number of times the demonic skills can be used. I hope that you will first master the demonic skills. Cultivating demonic skills is also a way to increase your magic power, and it will also allow you to use it better. The process of exhausting and recovering your magic power every time is the best improvement."
"Alright."
After agreeing, Ji Dong immediately began to cultivate. The Flaming Bar did not stay here for long. As if thinking about something, he floated up and disappeared into the Earth Core Lake in the blink of an eye.
The Dark Moon Dance was followed by the Devour of the Scorching Sun, followed by the Dark Moon Claw and the Scorching Sun Collapse. Gold and black, under the eruption of the two extreme flames, Ji Dong was surprised to find that he still had some remaining magic power. He circled his hands on both sides of his body, and the remaining magic power was instantly mobilized. The strong Bing Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and Ding Si Spiritual Fire of the Netherworld gathered in front of his chest, and a mixed gold and black fireball burst out. He had completed the final blow of all his magic power.
The Extreme Dual Flames version of the Bing Ding Fireball flew out with a whistling sound. In the blink of an eye, it flew for fifty meters before smashing into the Earth Core Lake, making a loud bang and rolling up a heat wave.
Ji Dong was delighted. He knew that the reason he could complete five magic skills in one go was not because his magic power had increased again, but because he had avoided wasting magic power as much as possible during the process of casting the magic skills. That was why he had some remaining magic power to complete the release of the Bing Ding Fireball. Of course, the power of this Bing Ding Fireball was only one-third of his peak, but it was definitely a good start.
After exhausting his own magic power, Ji Dong immediately sat cross-legged. The Yin-Yang Vortex around the Origin of Yin-Yang Crown rotated, quickly absorbing the pure fire elements in the air to replenish himself.
Ji Dong found that with the improvement of his magic power, the speed of absorbing the magic elements in the air had also increased during the process of cultivation. When he first came here, he could not even stand the heat here. But now, he no longer needed any protection from the Flaming Bar to cultivate here. There was no doubt that the speed of cultivation here was much faster than in the outside world. Before the age of sixteen, Ji Dong believed that with his current cultivation speed, he would have the chance to aim for the Double Crown within half a year.
Continuously releasing demonic skills, cultivating demonic energy, and experiencing the feeling of using the demonic skills was undoubtedly a boring process. However, whenever he felt irritated, he would think of the Raging Flames in his heart, and all the negative emotions would vanish without a trace. He would become full of confidence again. Ji Dong did not know if this was the power of love, but he was sure that the Flaming Bar was the biggest motivation for his cultivation.
During the process of cultivation, he could also feel that every time he repeated the process, his magic power would increase a little. Not to mention him, who had the Yin-Yang Balance Physique, even the most talented Demon Master would not have such a feeling. From level-one to level-ten, because there was no Origin of Yin-Yang Crown, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. It was the first hurdle for a Demon Master, but the process from level-ten to level-twenty was much easier. The Origin of Yin-Yang Crown and the Yin-Yang Vortex absorbed the magic power from the outside world at an astonishing speed. In just one night of cultivation, Ji Dong had already used the full set of magic skills more than fifteen times. At this rate, he would be able to continue learning the magic skills in about two months.
"Alright, Ji Dong, stop, you should leave." The gentle voice of the Flaming Bar rang out, waking up Ji Dong, who had just recovered his magic power and was about to cast the magic skills again.
"Flaming Bar." Ji Dong took the empty glass from the Flaming Bar, but to his surprise, the Flaming Bar's slender fingers suddenly turned and grabbed his hand. Before Ji Dong could feel the warmth of the Flaming Bar's fingers, he felt a sharp pain from his middle finger.
"Don't move," the Flaming Bar said plainly.
