Not only had this evolution allowed Ji Dong's mana to improve by leaps and bounds, but his physical attributes had also changed tremendously. His muscles, bones, meridians, and internal organs had all grown considerably under the nourishment of the Ultimate Dual Fire's mana. Even his stature had grown a few notches taller. Nearing fifteen years of age, he no longer looked like a child. He was now a vigorous youth, as if he had matured a lot overnight.
When Ji Dong opened his eyes, there was a flash of gold and a flash of black light in his eyes. His entire temperament had become much more dignified. Although he was only close to 15 years old, he already looked like an adult. In particular, the arrogance between his brows made him feel like he was high above everyone else.
Under the imperceptible influence of the Ultimate Dual Fire, the temperament of the God of Wine and the two great monarchs had gradually fused. Although Ji Dong didn't look handsome, he had a special kind of charisma.
However, Ji Dong didn't feel anything at the moment. He only felt that his entire body was sticky and indescribably uncomfortable. There was even an unpleasant smell on his body, which made him frown.
Raging Flame giggled and said, "Don't frown, this is a normal situation. Your magic power has increased and evolved to the level of the Second Crown, and along with it, the impurities in your body will be expelled once. In the future, every time you advance a crown, a similar situation will occur. Even I did not expect that you would be able to reach such a realm so quickly. Looks like I have to congratulate you."
Ji Dong chuckled. "Everything I have was given to me by you. Thank you, Flaming Bar." He looked at the Flaming Bar with a much deeper gaze. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be two clusters of flames burning fiercely. However, he only saw calmness in the Flaming Bar's eyes. There was no emotion in that gentle smile.
"If you really want to thank me, then make a better cocktail for me to drink. Ji Dong, your advancement this time will cause your strength to leap by leaps and bounds. The stronger the mana of the Ultimate Dual Fire, the greater the gap between it and ordinary mana of the same level. With your current Ultimate Dual Fire, you might not be inferior to the ordinary mana of the third level. When you go back, you will also be able to experience the new magic skills that the two great monarchs have imprinted on you. However, you still have a long way to go, so you can't slack off. Give me your hand."
Ji Dong raised his right hand and let the Flaming Bar hold it. Although there would be a piercing pain every time, as long as he felt the warmth of the Flaming Bar's fingertips, the pain was nothing. He had never asked the Flaming Bar why he was doing this. It could be said that it was a blind trust, or even an unreasonable infatuation.
"Go back and wash your body. You'll feel the difference. " Soon, the Flaming Bar withdrew her hand. These days, every time Ji Dong came to cultivate, she would hold Ji Dong's hand like this for a while.
Ji Dong nodded. He didn't want the Flaming Bar to smell the scent on his body. Just as he was about to call the Red Lotus to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said to the Flaming Bar, "Flaming Bar, I might not be able to bring you wine for a while. I heard from senior brother that after reaching the realm of the second level, I have to take the preliminary test. I don't know where it is. Senior brother's strength is much stronger than mine, I'm afraid that he will find out if I come looking for you."
The Flaming Bar nodded and said, "Come back when you're absolutely safe. You owe me a hundred years, I'll help you postpone the time." After saying this, even she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Looking at the Flaming Bar's dazzling smile that was like a blossoming Red Lotus, Ji Dong said goodbye in a daze. The Red Lotus swept away and quietly left.
Even after washing up and changing into a set of clean clothes, Ji Dong's mind was still filled with the Flaming Bar's smile. He had finally reached the second level, and was one step closer to being able to protect the Flaming Bar.
"Flaming Bar, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how boring and lonely it is, I will do my best with all my heart."
His strength had increased to the second level, and the changes were comprehensive. When he was bathing earlier, Ji Dong looked in the mirror and discovered that not only did he seem to have grown taller, but his temperament had also changed. His skin seemed to have become more lustrous, and there seemed to be a faint halo circulating under his healthy bronze skin. His perception of the fire attribute magical elements in the outside world had increased exponentially, and he no longer needed to concentrate on using his own magical power to attract it. As long as he willed it, the fire attribute would automatically draw close to him.
It was time to go out. In the past two months, apart from eating, he had almost never left his room. He hadn't even left the Yin-Yang Hall.
Walking out of his room, Ji Dong also walked out of the earth major's teaching block. As soon as he walked out, he discovered that the Heavenly Stem Academy seemed to be a little different today. He could already see a large number of students gathered on the huge field in the distance, and he could even feel magical fluctuations coming from it from time to time.
"What's going on?" With a bit of curiosity, Ji Dong arrived at the field. He saw that in the center of the field, students from all departments had gathered together, cheering and sighing could be heard one after another.
Ji Dong's vision was very sharp, especially after his magical power had increased, and his sixth sense had also increased. He swept a few glances at the crowd and discovered Carr and Bissou's figures. Quickly squeezing to their side, Ji Dong grabbed their shoulders and said, "What's going on? It's so lively! "
Carr and Bissou turned at the same time, and when they saw that it was Ji Dong, they were immediately pleasantly surprised. Carr said, "Boss, you've come at the right time. Haha, you're also this year's new student, our fire major has a chance to be proud and elated."
Ji Dong was a bit puzzled and said, "You have to tell me what's going on first!"
Bissou said, "It's like this, today is the monthly exchange day. Our Heavenly Stem Academy will hold an exchange every month according to the magic major's attribute, only divided by the five elements. For example, our Fourth Fire and Third Fire are considered the same major. The five elements of the teaching block will each send out five people from the beginner classes and five from the official students. Each major will send out their strongest student representative, and the final seat will be decided by the number of matches. This way, not only will it increase the interaction between the students of each major and increase their actual combat ability, but it will also encourage the students to work hard in their cultivation. The two major that won the monthly championship won't need to clean up for the next month, while the remaining four elements and eight major will be responsible for cleaning up according to their ranking in the competition. The higher the ranking, the less cleaning time, and the last one will have to clean up for a whole ten days. Boss, this isn't as simple as just cleaning up! If the two-element representative of any of the two elements gets the last place, they will be waiting for bad luck for the next month. The teachers will train them as hard as they can, and they won't be able to raise their heads among the students. "
Ji Dong said, "Then what about our fire dual element?"
Carr and Bissou looked at each other. Carr smiled bitterly and said, "The situation isn't very optimistic. Last month, our luck was very bad. In the first round, we met the water dual element, which countered each other. In the end, it caused the ten participating students to consume a lot of energy, and we even lost the first round. In the following matches, it was extremely disadvantageous for us, and we lost consecutively. We only got the last place. This month, we have been living in an abyss of suffering. This month, no matter what, we have to rise up. "
Ji Dong said, "What are the rules of the competition? Beginner students and official students compete together? "
Carr said, "No, the rules are very simple. How to arrange the team formation is decided by the teachers of each element, and then there will be a single elimination round. For example, if our fire element is up against the water element, we will send one student to spar with the other student. The loser will be sent down, and another person will come up. Until one side's students are all defeated, then there will be a round robin, and each element will have to face the other four elements separately. In the end, according to the number of rounds won, the top two magic elements will be decided. Both sides will send out five people to fight for the championship of the month. "
Bissou said excitedly, "This month, our luck is pretty good. We met the metal element first, and then the wood element. Although we lost to the water element, the earth element met the wood element in the first round, and they couldn't hold on in front of us. In the end, we will probably fight with the water element for the championship of the month, or at least second place."
Carr glared at Bissou and said, "You really have no ambition. If you want to win, then win. With Boss participating, are you afraid of not getting a good ranking?"
Ji Dong frowned and said, "I am a disciple of the Yin Yang Hall, can I participate in this competition?"
Carr said, "It should be possible. Boss, do you remember that little girl Leng Yue? She is now representing the water element in the competition. That little girl is amazing. In just two months, she has already reached the twelfth level. Although her level isn't high, her water magic skill is very hard to defend against. I heard from Teacher Yang, that as long as the magic power hasn't reached three crowns, even the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall can participate in the competition."
Bissou moved closer to Ji Dong's ear and whispered, "Boss, we found that in the Heavenly Stem Academy, the competition between the various elements is very fierce. Our fire element and water element are like fire and water. You must help us get back at them. With you participating, we will definitely win this month's championship."
Ji Dong said, "But, the contestants have already been decided. Can they still be changed?"
Bissou said, "They can be changed in the finals. After all, the previous participants have gone through many battles and are very tired. Usually, in the finals, both sides will replace students who have not participated before. Boss, quickly come with us. Today, Teacher Yang will be in charge of the distribution of our members."
Ji Dong was dragged to the inner circle by Carr and Bissou, just in time to see that the last battle had already ended. The representative of the fire element was someone familiar. It was that little girl, Zhu Gui. She represented the fire element and was the last to fight. She had defeated the last earth element student who had lasted for two battles. However, her face was also covered in sweat. Ji Dong suddenly saw that the Yin Yang Crown on Zhu Gui's head had already reached the level of one crown nineteen ranks. She was only one step away from two crowns. Zhu Gui was about the same age as them. Based on this situation, it wouldn't be long before she would also be able to enter the Yin Yang Hall.
"Teacher Yang, look who's here." Bissou couldn't wait and dragged Ji Dong to Yang Bingtian's side.
At this moment, Yang Bingtian was frowning as he thought about the arrangement of the members for the finals. The monthly sparring competition actually had a lot of luck. If they met an opponent whose element countered theirs at the beginning of the competition, it would be very difficult to get a good result. Last month, the fire element was unlucky and ended up at the bottom. This month, their luck was pretty good and they entered the finals. However, they had to face the water element, which countered theirs. Yang Bingtian really didn't have the slightest bit of confidence. However, he was quite unwilling. It wasn't easy for the powerful earth element to enter the finals. How could he not have such a good opportunity to become the champion?
"Ji Dong? You're out? " Yang Bingtian was pleasantly surprised to see Ji Dong. He heard from Zhu Rong that Ji Dong was in closed-door training. Otherwise, he would have asked Ji Dong to represent the fire element during the sparring competition last month.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "President Yang, let me represent the fire element in the finals."
Yang Bingtian laughed and said, "You've come at the right time. The heavens are really fulfilling our wishes. It looks like our fire element will definitely be the champion this month. I heard from my teacher that before your eldest senior brother won three championships, our fire element had never lost in the sparring competition. Now, you're going to take over his position."
Ji Dong smiled lightly and said, "You don't need to arrange for anyone else. I think that I alone will be enough."
Ji Dong's voice wasn't loud, but many of the surrounding fire element students still heard it. Although Ji Dong had already joined the Yin Yang Hall, he rarely showed his face in public. There were very few people who had seen him before, so they immediately raised their eyebrows.
Yang Bingtian was also stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Ji Dong was a fire element student, he had only condensed the Yin Yang Crown not too long ago. The final competition on the sparring competition required both sides to send at least two primary students. He had hoped that Ji Dong would be able to win at least one match and help the fire element gain an advantage. He hadn't expected that Ji Dong would say such confident and even arrogant words.
However, Yang Bingtian also noticed that Ji Dong seemed to be a little different from before. The arrogance between his brows had been greatly restrained, but the light in his eyes had deepened. A confidence that came from his bones made it hard for others to doubt his words.
Yang Bingtian nodded and said, "Alright, then you'll be the first to go, but don't force yourself."
At this time, Zhu Gui had already returned. His forehead was dripping with sweat, and his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had used too much mana. The fire element didn't have any advantage over the earth element. If it wasn't for the fact that the earth element had used too much mana, the fire element would have had a hard time. It had to be known that the earth element had been the champion last month.
