Chapter 357: Reactions from the Crowd, Challenges and Instant Kills, the Rhythm of Fire Reached New Heights!
A deep red fire pit.
Dark red flames burned.
Gabriel looked at Ian not far away with a slightly surprised expression, momentarily stunned.
Because, logically speaking, that position shouldn't be one that Ian could reach.
According to what I understand.
Ian should have broken through to the mid-stage of the second ring not long ago.
But what about the people around him?
The worst are fire-attribute wizards who have broken through to the mid-stage of the second ring three years ago.
Ian, however, is a multi-element wizard. Such wizards are usually more well-rounded, but their individual abilities are generally weaker.
That's outrageous.
"As expected of the most famous alchemy genius in the academy in decades."
Gabriel remarked with emotion.
That's good. The academy might actually have another alchemy master in the future, which is a good thing.
for him.
He was like a young farmer who saw a plant on his own farm that seemed exceptionally tall.
But that's about it.
except him.
Others naturally noticed Ian as well.
"Are you kidding me?"
Abraham stood in the middle of the light red area, feeling the corrosive and scorching sensation from the surrounding flames.
It made him want to quit.
But when he looked up at Ian, whose expression remained calm in the deep red area, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Not really.
Has the gap really gotten this big?
He gritted his teeth.
I wanted to keep going, but all I felt was patches of dark spots caused by elemental erosion appearing on my skin.
His facial muscles twitched.
He accepted reality.
The wizards from the warbands and the Molten Core were also somewhat shocked, especially the few experienced mid-stage second-ring wizards beside them, whose bodies immediately stiffened.
It would be troublesome if we were outdone.
Doesn't this mean that their fire-attribute battle group and fire-attribute academy are not as good as a multi-elemental wizard?
I considered this possibility.
None of them dared to relax for a moment.
"That kid!"
At the edge of the black and red flames, Flame Heart also noticed this scene, or rather, he had been paying attention to the outer perimeter intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that Ian was able to reach such a deep distance for the first time.
His eyes also showed some surprise.
He believed he understood the Four Elements Extraordinary Physique, especially after his numerous fierce battles with Kiran.
Logically speaking, someone of Ian's level shouldn't be able to get this far, especially since he seems so composed.
He looked closely at Ian.
Suddenly, he noticed a detail: although they were all dark red areas, the dark red flames around the other wizards were much gentler than Ian's.
"Could this be?"
His eyes flickered, and he considered a certain possibility.
No way?
He subconsciously wanted to ask Huo Yan to confirm, but saw that Huo Yan was also giving him a complicated look.
They exchanged a glance.
Their gazes were equally surprised and suspicious.
Clearly, they had considered the same possibility.
"Observe for a few more days."
Huo Yan felt his throat go dry and still couldn't believe that a mid-stage second-ring wizard could actually master the rhythm of fire.
Because this is simply too amazing.
Even Gabriel, under the Dean's tutelage, is still one step away from mastering the Rhythm of Fire.
That's why he came here.
Many fire-attribute wizards may only be able to master elemental magic at the peak of the second ring.
As for the second ring road's control over such matters.
Even in the Grey Tower, only the most elite wizards can do it, and almost every one of them is considered a third-ring seed.
Gurgle.
I considered this possibility.
Their throats moved slightly.
hide?
It's unnecessary for Ian.
Since he wanted to enhance the rhythm of fire, he would definitely need to deeply experience it, which would be difficult to hide from the two peak second-ring cultivators.
He was well aware of this.
As for other wizards, it is almost impossible to detect, even for Gabriel.
Because their understanding of fire has diverged.
At this point, Ian had no time to worry about any of that.
"This feeling."
Ian simply closed his eyes, feeling the surrounding flames as if he were in a dreamlike volcano.
Unlike ordinary flames.
In addition to the explosive feeling, the flames here also have a slightly corrosive quality.
In addition, Ian had a deep understanding of darkfire runes.
They were even more at ease.
He could only feel his mastery of the Rhythm of Fire increasing rapidly.
Only half an hour had passed.
My proficiency improved by two points.
"Two points?"
Ian's eyes widened in shock.
Keep in mind that in the three years he spent at the academy, he only managed to improve this skill from beginner to expert.
On average, it only increases by 100 points a year, or about 8 or 9 points a month, and you even need to add the help of dreams.
This may not seem like much.
But it's already much faster than before.
"Perhaps there is an opportunity to elevate the Rhythm of Fire to an expert level here."
Ian's gaze suddenly turned fiery.
Time passed little by little.
Gradually.
Some wizards' bodies were corroded by flames, and they all withdrew from the flames.
Around Ian, several wizards had large beads of sweat on their foreheads, almost reaching their limit.
But seeing Ian still persevering, they continued to support him with all their might, and some of them, even though they were slightly injured, were unwilling to leave.
Ian suddenly stood up and headed towards the outer perimeter. They breathed a sigh of relief and followed him out of the Crimson Zone.
"Four hours of practice improved my proficiency by about 20 points. If I continue at this pace, I might reach the expert level in about half a month."
Ian stepped out of the flames, and the cool air around him made him feel good.
This place truly lives up to its reputation as the death ground for third-ring wizards.
The benefits were indeed greater than he had imagined.
Turning to look at the flames behind him, he saw that some wizards were still inside, including Gabriel.
He also seems to be nearing his limit. Although his strength is close to the late stage of the second ring, the area he is in is much deeper.
He then slowly stood up.
Came out.
Upon seeing Ian again, she nodded to him and then went to rest and recover, eliminating the elemental corruption of the dark fire.
This surprised Ian.
This was the first time he had shown goodwill.
He nodded in response.
Ian walked toward the edge of the pit, and the warband wizards along the way made way for him.
His expression was different from before.
Having found a place, Ian began to recover.
at the same time.
Not far away.
"Alec, didn't you say you were going to challenge that guy? Why don't you go give it a try now?"
Darian, who had already come out, said to Alec, who was standing to the side.
"Now.."
Alec felt his lips were a little dry, thinking about his performance in the flames earlier.
Ian went deeper than him, but he persisted longer.
This made him feel somewhat insecure.
"Alec, the captain is just around the corner. If you win against someone like Ian..."
1
Darian's words, however, seemed like a devil's temptation.
Infatuation once again took the lead.
"it is good."
He nodded.
Turning to look in Ian's direction, Ian was nowhere to be found.
Where did you go?
He was stunned.
"However, it seems I don't need to actively recover."
As Ian walked away from the deep pit, he felt his body.
The Four Symbols Sacred Body operates automatically, and the erosion that has entered the body seems to be slowly being dissolved.
It should take less than half a day.
"The Four Symbols Sacred Body's resistance to abnormal states."
Ian thought of this characteristic that he had never noticed before.
It seems he underestimated top-tier physique.
So Ian immediately rejected the option of staying there to recover slowly, and instead turned and walked into the Crimson Eye Wizarding Academy.
On his way here, he found quite a few hidden resources using the black lines.
This kind of opportunity is extremely rare.
During this break time.
Why not go and loot the academy again?
It was more than half a day later when Ian returned.
"Awesome!"
.
Ian was thrilled to see the extra hundreds of thousands of resources.
While opportunities to enhance the rhythm of fire are rare, opportunities to acquire resources so easily are equally rare.
As the dark fire aura permeating the academy gradually fades, more and more wizards are able to enter.
that time.
These hidden gems and resources always seem to be unearthed.
He might not even have this opportunity again in ten days or half a month, which is why he is unwilling to give up.
"My body has fully recovered."
Feeling his body return to its peak condition, Ian returned to the Darkfire Pit once more.
At this time, many wizards were resting beside the deep pit.
I glanced at them and saw that many of them were unfamiliar; they were clearly new wizards.
As for Lords Huoyan and Yanxin, they are still in the same positions as yesterday, feeling the flames.
Gabriel has also entered.
It's a bit farther than yesterday.
It's roughly three-fifths of the deep red area.
Taking a deep breath, Ian stepped back into the flames, his movements even faster than yesterday.
along the way.
It can be seen that the wizards have generally gone a little deeper than yesterday.
finally.
Ian quickly arrived at the location from yesterday, but instead of stopping, he continued to venture deeper inside.
The aura of dark fire grew stronger and stronger.
Ian eventually stopped a little closer to Gabriel than he had the day before.
"So fast?"
Gabriel caught his breath when he sensed Ian not far behind him.
How come I'm getting closer and closer to him?
The senior wizards looked at Ian, who was already in front of them, and exchanged bewildered glances.
Today they're still thinking about how to last longer than Ian.
It seems that this problem is no longer present.
Further away, Alec felt even more pressure.
Ian felt the flames.
My proficiency is improving little by little.
What he didn't know was that Huo Yan and Yan Xin were also watching Ian.
"As expected."
Huo Yan took a deep breath, filled with emotion.
At this point, he was certain that Ian had definitely mastered the Rhythm of Fire, a skill that is considered one of the most difficult areas in the second ring.
Moreover, this happened when I was in the middle of entering the Second Ring Road.
What talent!
Huo Yan immediately felt a pang of regret. He remembered that when Ian entered the academy, he was the first person Ian came to see.
"Kieran is such a lucky dog."
Flameheart, standing to the side, was somewhat displeased.
This is the rhythm of fire.
For fire-attribute wizards, this is an immense help, whether in training or combat.
Even within the battle group.
There isn't a single person who has grasped this at such a young age.
Why isn't it from Warband, but that damn Zilean!
Thinking about this...
He felt a pang of heartache.
However, when he turned his head and saw Huo Yan's miserable expression, his irritation immediately subsided.
He just hasn't encountered it.
Huo Yan simply misjudged the situation.
Thinking about this...
His mood immediately improved a lot.
But then, a feeling of unease arose, especially after realizing that he was Kieran's student.
There's no need to worry about that.
He believed that someone would definitely challenge him, and someone would help him deal with Ian.
really.
Several hours passed.
Ian has finished experiencing it.
As soon as he stepped out of the area of flames, he saw Alec being carried to him.
"Ian, I challenge you!"
Alec was at his wit's end. In fact, after seeing Ian's performance today, he really didn't want to challenge him anymore.
But Darian spread the word about it yesterday.
He was in a difficult situation.
challenge?
Ian frowned.
"Sorry, I refuse!"
This surprised Alec, but he noticed the gazes of the people around him had gathered, and even the gaze of the Flameheart leader deep within seemed to be directed his way over.
He stepped out.
"I can provide resources. If you win, all these resources are yours. If you lose, I won't require you to contribute anything."
He gritted his teeth.
He produced a fire-attribute resource that he had seized.
Ian's eyes lit up.
You should have said so earlier.
Ian naturally couldn't refuse the resources he was getting for free, so he readily agreed.
A while later.
A vacant lot was cleared out.
The crowd on the sidelines watched the two with anticipation, and even Yan Xin and Huo Yan, who were in the distance, turned their gazes over.
Gabriel also stopped what he was doing.
Came out.
Feeling the intense gazes of many, Alec also felt his blood boil. Looking at Ian, flames erupted from his entire body.
break out.
Alec flew toward Ian.
Alec flew back.
Become unconscious.
Glug!
Not far away, Darian recalled what had just happened. He only saw the flames transform into a giant hand, which then slammed Alec into the ground, knocking him unconscious.
Hiss!
The surrounding wizards also gasped in shock.
It's worth noting that Alec has been promoted for over a year.
Further away.
Huo Yan sighed inwardly.
But it was not surprising at all.
This is the terrifying power of a wizard who has mastered the rhythm of fire; the power of their flames is almost unstoppable for those of the same level.
Gabriel stared blankly at him.
He always felt...
This guy from the academy.
It seems to be much more powerful than the rumors suggest.
"And what about the flames?"
His eyes flickered.
I don't quite understand.
However, there is no internal strife.
He strode up to Ian and asked directly, "Have you mastered the Rhythm of Fire?"
? ?
Ian hadn't expected that he'd figured it out, but he didn't deny it.
He nodded.
really.
Gabriel froze instantly.
Although he had some guesses, he still found it hard to accept the truth.
He has always considered himself the number one of his generation.
Unexpectedly, he was not as good as Ian in terms of understanding fire.
However, he quickly consoled himself, saying that the Rhythm of Fire depends on comprehension, but a wizard's talent for cultivation is ultimately the most important.
And he immediately understood.
Done.
He plunged directly back into the crimson depths.
Several days passed.
Ian's days were very regular.
Every day, I would try to comprehend the Dark Flame, then leave and wait for my physique to recover naturally. I would also scavenge for resources in the academy before returning to the Deep Pit after I recovered.
As for Ian's seniors...
They were all busy following the battle group to scavenge resources.
You can't see it at all.
Naturally, they were unaware of Ian's situation.
As for the warband's wizards, they would challenge Ian from time to time, and Ian would accept any challenge as long as he was given resources.
Even later on, some people wanted to fight.
He naturally refused outright.
Only battles against those who have advanced within the last three years.
Of course, this is just a supplement; the main focus is still on improving the rhythm of fire and harvesting resources.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a month later.
The Rhythm of Fire has been elevated to the expert level.
