Zi Qingjian wasn't as surprised as his sister. He was a straightforward person. Although Nian Bing's knowledge of magic was also surprising to him, he didn't suspect anything when he remembered that he and his sister both cultivated martial arts and culinary arts. He took the lead and walked towards the stairs.
Nian Bing was just about to follow Zi Qingjian when Zi Qingmeng said, "I'll go with you. I want to see what level your magic is at. Martial arts and culinary arts have some similarities, especially big brother's Heavy Eagle Hand and my knife skills. But magic and culinary arts don't seem to have any connection. I don't believe you're a genius who can multitask. "
From the first time she saw Zi Qingmeng, Nian Bing had fully experienced her arrogance. Looking at her cold and arrogant face, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. From the bottom of his heart, he preferred Feng Nu and Long Ling's personalities. Long Ling was gentle like water, and Feng Nu was soft with a hint of firmness. They were both easier to accept. However, Zi Qingmeng was somewhat similar to Luo Rou. Because she had some abilities in certain areas, she had developed an arrogant attitude. For such a woman, Nian Bing was too lazy to pay attention to her. He didn't talk to Zi Qingmeng anymore and chased after Zi Qingjian.
The Magic Department was a unique department in the entire Lanmeng Academy. The students' dormitories, the teaching location, and the Heart Magic Laboratory were all on the eighth floor of the main teaching building. As soon as they set foot on the eighth floor, they could feel all kinds of strong magic elements filling the corridor. If one looked carefully, they would discover that the reason for the strong magic elements was mainly due to the relief carvings on the walls. They were very simple magic array patterns. However, in the center of the magic array, there were different complex symbols that represented different elements of magic. Surrounded by these symbols, a magic gem appeared in the center of the array. Although it wasn't a top quality gem, under the effect of the magic array, the gem's energy could be amplified to display the effect of condensing magic elements.
Such a strong magic atmosphere, it was comparable to the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild. Nian Bing sighed in his heart. Even in the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild, there weren't such relief carvings! It wasn't because of the difficulty of making the embossments, but because the Guild simply didn't have the financial resources to purchase a large number of magic gemstones. Just like what Long Ling said, money was the biggest obstacle to the development of the Guild of Magic.
"Every time I come to this place, I feel a bit oppressed. But those Mages seem to enjoy it a lot." Zi Qingjian said with some dissatisfaction.
Repressed? Realization dawned on Nian Bing. She guessed that it was because the density of Mana here was too high. People who weren't magicians would naturally feel oppressed under the pressure of the various magic elements. If they could practice magic here, it would indeed be very beneficial for magicians.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud sound came from the magic department's third classroom, scaring Nian Bing. Although the sound was very loud, it didn't cause any tremors.
"Idiot, how did you train your magic control? He couldn't even control Bursting Flames. Do you want to blow up everyone here? "An angry roar sounded. The loud and clear voice was completely comparable to Zi Qingjian's.
Zi Qingjian stopped in his tracks and whispered to Nianbing, "I don't know which student is unlucky again. This voice belongs to the head of the magic department. He's known as the most powerful Archmage in history. Whether or not you can enter the magic department depends on whether or not you can pass his test."
"The most powerful Archmage in history? Isn't he a Magister? No matter how strong a Archmage is, they can't compare to a Magister. "Nian Bing looked at Zi Qingjian in confusion.
Zi Qingjian shrugged his broad shoulders. "I don't know either. You'll have to ask him yourself. I don't understand magic. In any case, his title is recognized by the entire continent. He didn't call himself that. "
"Who's making a ruckus outside and disturbing my class?" Amidst the angry roar, a fist-sized fireball flew out of the window, drawing a beautiful arc as it accurately landed on Zi Qingjian's head.
The fireball's sudden arrival gave Zi Qingjian a fright. He was just about to urge his Dou Qi to block it when a ball of blue light blocked his path. Nian Bing waved her right hand forward. The Icicle Staff in her hand carried a dense ice element as it touched the fist-sized fireball. Her entire body trembled slightly, and the fireball disappeared with a slight tremor. Nian Bing was also shaken back a step. He had always boasted that his control over magic was far superior to his peers, but that fireball just now had several special characteristics that normal fireballs didn't have. It seemed to change according to the person's will. A first level spell, when it came into contact with his Icicle Staff, actually produced a sticky and explosive effect. When it stuck to his staff, it suddenly exploded. Although its power was still a first level spell, the instant it exploded, it split into three stages. The force of the explosion should have spread out in all directions, but it actually concentrated in one direction, causing the ice spell that he was so confident in to take a step back. It was also a first level spell, but he was already at a disadvantage. If this had been a high level spell, he was afraid that he would have had a hard time blocking it. Nian Bing immediately put away his arrogance after he figured out the reason why he had been pushed back.
Zi Qingjian said loudly, "Director Hei, it's me. Why did you attack without distinguishing between right and wrong?" As he spoke, he pushed open the classroom door and looked inside unhappily.
Zi Qingjian's figure was really too tall. Standing behind him, Nian Bing couldn't see anything. She only heard the voice from the classroom from before say, "It's Little Purple! Who told you to sneak around and disturb my class? Can't you find me when I don't have class? You wait outside first. Wait until I'm done with class. "
Zi Qingjian said, "Sorry to disturb you. I'll wait outside for you. " Finished speaking, he quickly left. As he left the classroom, Nian Bing could faintly see that this was a very large classroom. There were at least a hundred people sitting inside. It seemed that all the students of the Magic Department were inside. From Zi Qingjian's attitude towards Director Hei, it could be seen that this director of the Magic Department had a very high position in the Academy.
Closing the classroom door, Zi Qingjian turned around and smiled at Nian Bing, saying, "Brother, so you really are a magician! Now we can only wait a bit. Director Hei's temper isn't too good. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "It's fine. "It doesn't matter. We'll just wait for a while."
Zi Qingmeng looked at Nian Bing strangely, "What rank are you as a magician?"
Nian Bing said indifferently, "I don't know either. However, passing the Magic Department's exam shouldn't be a problem. Brother Qingjian, I heard that the Huarong Empire and the Qilu Empire have joined forces to start a war against Auland. Do you know about this? "
Zi Qingjian nodded, saying, "I just heard about it yesterday. This time, the situation is very bad! Right now we can only hope that the reinforcements from the Ice Moon Empire will be of use. I really want to go to the battlefield and take a look. However, the dean doesn't allow non-graduates to participate in the war. I'm also a teacher, so I can't leave. Warriors should be thrown into battle in order to show their true worth. After teaching this batch of students, I will definitely join the Empire's strongest Silver Feather Knight Regiment and display my skills. "At this point, his eyes revealed a look of desire. He was definitely a warmonger.
Nian Bing didn't ask any more questions. He wasn't interested in the war at all. The three of them waited silently at the door of the classroom.
After a full hour, the magic bell rang, signaling the end of class.
The door opened and the magic students filed out. Their clothes were different from the students of the other departments. They all wore the magic robes of a beginner magician, but the color was dark blue. Only their chests were embedded with magic gems of different elements. These gems showed the element of their magic. The students' expressions were very cold. Not a single one of them greeted the Zi Qingjian siblings. They all headed in the other direction of the eighth floor. Walking at the very back was an old magician. He had a head full of white hair and a wrinkled face. He looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old. He was thin and small, and his dim yellow eyes looked at Nian Bing and the others at the door. "Come in." The contrast between his loud and clear voice and his figure gave people a strange feeling. On the chest area of his red magic robe, there was a golden flame symbol. A fire element magician?
"Director Hei, I've brought you a new student. He just joined the cooking department and wants to take the magic department as an elective. Is that okay?" Zi Qingjian said politely.
"Elective magic? A chef also wants to learn magic? "Director Hei's dim yellow eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light as he stared at Nian Bing.
Nian Bing didn't back down and looked him in the eye. Although he felt like he was being seen through, he forced himself to not look away.
Director Hei's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. "Then let's try. Kid, were you the one who blocked my fireball technique? "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "Hello, Director Hei."
Director Hei's gaze swept over the Zi Qingjian siblings and said, "You two can leave. He can stay by himself."
Zi Qingjian smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. Little sister, let's go."
Zi Qingmeng blinked her large purple eyes. What surprised everyone was that the cold arrogance on her face actually disappeared. Her warm smile seemed to be able to warm all coldness. She walked to Director Hei's side and took the initiative to hold his skinny arm. "Uncle Hei, I want to see your test on him. Is it okay? Please let me and my brother stay. "
Director Hei's face revealed a trace of a smile. "You little girl are really clingy. You don't study magic so what's the use of seeing it?" Although he didn't agree, his tone had already softened a lot.
"No, I just want to see. Uncle Hei, at worst I'll make you a delicious meal to compensate you. Don't you like to drink? Tonight I'll make some dishes to go with the wine for you. "
"Okay, if you want to see then go ahead." Director Hei somewhat helplessly looked at the beauty who was half a head taller than him.
Nian Bing said, "Director Hei, then how do you want to test me?"
Director Hei glanced at the Icicle Staff in Nian Bing's hand and said, "You're an ice magician. That's good. As long as you can use a second rank magic to break my first rank fire spell, then you pass."
As he said that, he raised his withered left hand and a dark red flame rose up. It was indeed just an ordinary fire spell.
Nian Bing didn't think that this test was easy. The higher the level of a spell, the greater the difference between a High Tier spell and a Low Tier spell. Although there was a difference between a Tier 2 spell and a Tier 1 spell, it couldn't compare to a High Tier spell. He had already tested the Magic Shooter's control over his Spells. It definitely wasn't as easy as it seemed to be to use a Tier 2 Ice Spell to break through his Tier 1 Fire Spell. Without saying anything, Nian Bing raised the Icicle Staff in her hand and observed her surroundings. She had already thought of a good method.
The faint blue light gradually became brighter, and under the influence of a deep and rhythmic incantation, second rank ice bullets continuously formed in front of Nian Bing. She didn't rush to attack, but continued to condense ice bullets.
"Kid, if you use Ice Bullet Rain, then it will be a third rank spell." Director Hei reminded Nian Bing said.
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "As long as I don't attack together, it won't be considered Ice Bullet Rain." At this time, dozens of ice bullets had already appeared in front of her. She pointed the Icicle Staff in her hand forward, and with a flash of light, an ice bullet suddenly flew towards the fire in Director Hei's hand.
Director Hei calmly looked at Nian Bing, and the fire in his hand suddenly shrank to a third of its original volume. Just as the ice bullet was about to hit, the fire from small to large, and with a puff, it expanded. However, the ice bullet didn't bounce off as expected. The ice bullet suddenly stopped a foot away from the fire, and when the fire expanded, the ice bullet suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of ice that enveloped the fire. Under the effect of the mist, the fire suddenly dimmed, and just as it was about to be extinguished, it suddenly contracted and released, forcibly pushing the mist away.
"Elastic fire. Your control of magic is truly admirable. "Nian Bing's eyes were filled with respect, and the second ice bullet flew out.
Director Hei's eyes were also filled with surprise. Nian Bing's control of the ice bullet spell had already exceeded his expectations. At this time, the second ice bullet had already arrived. Director Hei shrank the fire in his hand to the smallest extent, and didn't release it, using the same principle to deal with all changes. At this time, Nian Bing displayed his precise control of magic. The ice bullet flying in the air paused seven times, and then accelerated seven times, constantly changing the direction and speed of its flight. Although it was only one ice bullet, it gave off a feeling of infinite change.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and when the ice bullet suddenly accelerated and rushed to a meter in front of Director Hei, it suddenly underwent a huge change. The entire ice bullet was instantly compressed into an ice needle, and shot towards Director Hei's forehead at three times the speed of before, completely ignoring the fire in his hand.
With a distance of one meter, there was very little room for Director Hei to dodge the ice needle. The strength of a magician's magic could only be seen in a crisis. A layer of pale yellow light enveloped Director Hei's face, turning his skin into an earthy yellow. However, this strange magic that suddenly appeared was not attacked by the ice needle. The moment the ice needle was about to hit Director Hei, it suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of ice that blocked his vision. Director Hei thought to himself that this was bad, but before he could react, his left hand shook, and the fireball had already disappeared in the perception of his spiritual power.
The mist of ice dissipated, and Director Hei looked at Nian Bing with shining eyes. "What a good diversion tactic. You've passed the test."
Nian Bing was currently staring blankly at Director Hei, his eyes filled with shock. Director Hei gave him a look, and he gradually returned to normal. He hurriedly bowed and said, "A second-level against a first-level magician. This student won by luck."
The change had happened very quickly. The siblings only saw Nian Bing shoot out three ice bullets, and the fireball in Director Hei's hand was extinguished. Naturally, they, who did not understand magic, could not see the mystery behind it.
Nianbing nodded and said, "Young man, what's your name?"
Nian Bing said, "I'm Nian Bing."
Director Hei said, "From today onwards, you're a student of the Magic Department. I'm the head of the Magic Department, Hei Ye, a fire sorcerer. Since you're an elective, you should come to my classes often. Qingjian, Qingmeng, you two can leave first. I have something to say to this new student alone. "
Zi Qingmeng was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she felt the chill from Hei Ye's body. She knew there was no room for discussion this time. She could only let go of Hei Ye's hand and walk towards the door. When she passed by Nian Bing, she whispered to him, "Coward, I'll always be waiting for your challenge, whether it's cooking or martial arts." After saying this, she recalled her steps. She pulled her brother away.
With a bang, the classroom door closed. Only Nian Bing and Hei Ye were left in the large magic classroom. They did not speak, only looked at each other. After a long while, Hei Ye spoke first. "You've already seen through it? I really didn't expect that a simple test would actually allow someone to figure out my background. Your ability to control magic has exceeded my expectations. "
Nian Bing smiled. "Director Hei, your magic also gave me a great shock. No wonder Brother Qingjian said you're the most powerful sorcerer. What's more, your dual-element magic is so harmonious. " Yes, the reason why he was stunned before was because he discovered Hei Ye's secret. When Hei Ye was preparing to block the ice needles, he used ice magic, not fire magic. And the second rank Earth magic, Three Stone Skin, could instantly make his skin as hard as stone. How could he be surprised that both fire and earth magic appeared on the same person at the same time?
Hei Ye smiled indifferently. "The most powerful sorcerer, haha, the most powerful sorcerer, I can only be a sorcerer. Do you think dual-element magic is a happy thing?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly. "Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't be bothered." As he said this, he raised his hands at the same time. An ice ball and a fireball appeared in his palms.
This time, it was Hei Ye's turn to be shocked. "You? Impossible? Ice, fire. Don't tell me you're … "
Nian Bing sighed softly and said, "That's right, I'm also a dual-element mage. However, I'm not as lucky as you are. Fire and earth don't repel each other. Furthermore, one is the most powerful defensive magic, while the other is the most powerful offensive magic. When the two are used together, you can unleash your full potential. But my two magics have to be vigilant against each other at all times. " Hei Ye was the first dual-element magician he met. The reason why he didn't hide his biggest secret was because he wanted to learn some secrets of dual-element magic from Hei Ye.
Hei Ye's eyes flashed. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Which bastard is your teacher? Didn't he see that your body had two kinds of repents when you just started practicing magic? Dual cultivation of ice and fire is no longer a matter of increasing your strength, but it can ruin your life at any time. "
Nian Bing said, "Director Hei, this has nothing to do with my teacher. When I first started cultivating magic, I learned it from my father. I had always been learning Fire Magic there, but something happened to my father, so there was no one to guide me. I had no choice but to fumble around on my own for eight years. During those eight years, I accidentally learned Ice Magic. Although I realized that something was wrong with it, there was nothing I could do about it. My teacher also said that these two magics are very dangerous, but they can't threaten my life for the time being. You're also a dual-element magician. Don't you have a way to resolve the contradiction between ice and fire magic? "
"Resolve? Resolve my ass. " Hei Ye said in a bad mood. "Some superficial magicians think that dual-element magic is very powerful, but they're wrong. Dual-Element magic restricts development. I've been immersed in magic for more than sixty years. With my talent, I should have reached the realm of magus long ago. But because of my dual-element magic, I've always been stuck at the peak of the sorcerer realm. Do you know why? It's because there are some restrictions between earth and fire. It's this little restriction that affects my ability to reach the peak of the magic world. Although I can reach the level of an ordinary magus under the effects of dual-element magic, I'll never be able to use magic above the tenth level. As long as a magus can release a forbidden spell of the eleventh level, I won't be able to resist it. This is the sorrow of dual-element magic. "At this point, his complex was already very agitated.
Nian Bing looked at Hei Ye in disappointment. "Then, my ice and fire are of the same origin. It's even more impossible to resolve the restriction. They're mutually exclusive. If I continue to practice, the stronger my magic is, the more dangerous it will be?"
Hei Ye lowered his head and muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Nian Bing, tell me honestly. What level has your magic reached?"
Nian Bing replied truthfully, "My magic has reached the level of a great magus. My magic control might be a bit stronger than a great magus'."
Hei Ye's eyes were filled with shock. "A great magus? I wonder how you survived, so to speak. You must have some special method of controlling ice and fire magic. How did you do it? "
Nian Bing did not hide anything, and told Lin Li about his cultivation process. He could tell that the Dark Mage in front of him was a mage who was even more stubborn than his teacher, Long Zhi. Nian Bing's understanding of magic would definitely be helpful to him. As a dual-elemental mage, Nian Bing would definitely understand Nian Bing's difficulties better than Long Zhi. Even if he could only provide her with a trace of a clue, she might be able to complete the fusion of ice and fire.
Hei Ye's eyes flashed as he listened to the recount. "Rotation, it's actually rotation. Relying on the centrifugal force of rotation, the two extremes of magic can be intertwined but not infringe on each other. Adding on the adaptability of your own two types of magic to ice and fire, you've gained the ability to fuse ice and fire. Just as you imagined, once the rotation stops, your body definitely won't be able to withstand the two stabs and you'll definitely die. Who would've thought that brat Zi Qingjian would actually give me such a treasure. You don't have to learn any cooking skills. From today onwards, no, from now onwards, we'll study the mysteries of dual-element magic together. As long as I can find a way to help you solve the fusion of ice and fire, I'll definitely be able to reach the level of an archmage. Listening to your cultivation method today has given me a lot of inspiration. " “
It was the first time they met, but Hei Ye acted as if he was seeing an old friend. He directly pulled Nian Bing towards his own magus laboratory.
Three months passed. Zi Qingmeng would often feel irritable during this time, especially when she thought of that handsome face. Originally. She had been waiting for Nian Bing to challenge her. She didn't believe that her Jade Curtain of Condensation couldn't compare to Nian Bing's Brocade Void. Although seeing the "red silk" that Nian Bing had left behind in the culinary department was a big blow to her, she still felt that she had a chance of winning. However, this wait lasted for three months. Let alone a challenge, she didn't even see Nian Bing's shadow. In these three months, Nian Bing hadn't left the eighth floor of the main teaching building. Not to mention fulfilling his duties as a sour taste teacher. As for the Dark Sorcerer, he hadn't come out of class since that day. All the classes were handed over to his humble teachers. According to the teachers of the magic department, the Dark Sorcerer was taking Nian Bing to do some magic research. How could a low level magus like him be so important to the Dark Sorcerer? If one were to ask who was the most arrogant in the academy. There was no need to ask, it was definitely the Dark Sorcerer. She really couldn't understand what kind of magical power this Nian Bing had.
Thinking of this, Zi Qingmeng's heart grew a trace of inexplicable anger. She slammed the counter in front of her, scaring the people around her. "You guys look after the store, I'm going back to the academy." Leaving behind these words, she walked towards the backyard in annoyance. All along, Teacher Hei Ye had been a proud daughter of the Lan Meng Academy. Relying on her extraordinary talent, she had obtained great recognition from her teachers in both martial arts and culinary arts. She had even become a teacher of the culinary department. However, the appearance of Nian Bing had shaken her confidence. She knew that before she defeated Nian Bing, she wouldn't be happy.
"Hello, may I ask how to get to Lan Meng Academy?" A soft and pleasant female voice sounded in Zi Qingmeng's ear. Zi Qingmeng subconsciously looked up and suddenly her tender body shook. What she saw was a stunning beauty wearing a blue shirt and pants. Her blue eyes were like the blue sky, her long pink hair like a waterfall, and her slender and well-proportioned body left a deep impression. Everything was so perfect, it was simply a perfect masterpiece of the heavens. Zi Qingmeng, who had always been proud of her appearance, actually felt a sense of inferiority when she saw her.
"Miss, I know how to get to Lan Meng Academy. How about I give you a free ride?" An obscene voice sounded from the side. It was Li San Er, the one who had received a silver coin from Nian Bing. His eyes were completely attracted by the blue-clothed beauty in front of him. His Adam's apple moved as if he was swallowing and spitting.
The blue-clothed girl glanced at the seemingly sluggish Zi Qingmeng and said to Li San Er, "Then I'll have to trouble you. Please lead the way."
Li San Er excitedly rubbed his hands. Just as he was about to leave with the blue-clothed beauty, Zi Qingmeng's cold voice suddenly sounded, "Li San Er, you don't want to stay in Lan Meng City anymore. Miss, I'll take you there. " Only now did Li San discover Zi Qingmeng's existence. He wanted to argue, but when he met Zi Qingmeng's cold eyes, he immediately lost his temper. He greedily glanced at the blue-clothed girl's beauty and then left dejectedly.
Zi Qingmeng came to the blue-clothed beauty's side. She glanced at the red sheathed sword in her hand and said, "Miss, you're going to Lan Meng Academy to learn martial arts right? I'm also a student of the Martial Arts Department. "
The blue-clothed beauty was stunned for a moment. She smiled and said, "You can say that. Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way. "
Zi Qingmeng nodded and didn't say anything else. She led the way to Lan Meng Academy. The blue-clothed beauty's allure was too great. Wherever she went, one hundred percent of people would turn their heads. Zi Qingmeng walking beside her could only serve as a foil. The blue-clothed beauty always had a faint smile on her face. Everyone who looked at her could clearly feel a pure and holy aura. They couldn't even think of profaning her.
Zi Qingmeng's heart was extremely unbalanced. In Lan Meng Academy, she was considered one of the top beauties. When had she ever encountered such a situation? Now she felt as if she had become the blue-clothed beauty's maid. She secretly thought that no matter what, she couldn't let this girl enter Lan Meng Academy and surpass her. Now she could only hope that her martial arts weren't too high and that she wouldn't be able to pass the test.
The two girls walked into Lan Meng Academy. When they reached the center of the huge field, the blue-clothed beauty suddenly stopped. Zi Qingmeng looked at her and said, "Why aren't you walking? If you want to enter our Martial Arts Department, you need to pass the test."
The blue-clothed beauty shook her head and said, "I'm not Lai Pean. I heard that Lan Meng Academy's Martial Arts Department is one of the best schools on the continent. I want to challenge your academy's teachers."
"Challenge?" Zi Qingmeng confirmed that she didn't hear wrongly. She frowned and said, "You want to challenge our academy's teachers?"
The blue-clothed beauty nodded. She inserted the long sword in her hand into the ground. She raised her head and let her pink hair fall behind her. A light breeze blew, bringing with it a faint fragrance. She took out a blue ribbon from her bosom and tied her hair. She looked even more heroic. "I'll have to trouble you. Can you please call your academy's teachers out?"
