Chapter 106: Trial Secret Realm!
"That's right!"
"Your Ji Family should have quite a few talent spirit crystals!"
Jiang Yuan looked up at the standing young woman dressed in green sword attire.
In comparison, Ji Qinghan could be considered a true genius girl.
The Class she awakened was the Legendary-grade Azure Lotus Sword Saint!
In Shanhai City, awakening a Legendary-grade Class Holder might not happen once in a hundred years.
Even across the entire Federation, she ranks among the most top-tier and exceptional talents.
"I know what you're thinking!"
"But let me tell you, our Ji Family really doesn't have any talent spirit crystals!"
"talent spirit crystals are an extremely rare treasure to begin with, only produced in a very small number of secret realms!"
A flicker of vigilance flashed in Ji Qinghan's eyes.
"Secret realms?"
Jiang Yuan mused.
Ji Qinghan was right. talent spirit crystals weren't as common as Skill Scrolls or books of knowledge.
They were even an extremely rare strategic resource, not available on the market at all; you couldn't buy them even with money.
But after learning about the function and effects of talent spirit crystals, Jiang Yuan understood their immense value and how greatly they could aid him.
However, he currently only had two talent spirit crystals in his possession, which was far from enough.
"Correct!"
"However, these secret realms are largely controlled by the Federation. Their annual output is also limited, almost entirely divided among the major superpowers, so it's impossible to buy a treasure like talent spirit crystals on the market!"
"Even if you applied through Dongque City to the Federation in your master's name, you might at most secure one."
Ji Qinghan said. "Of course, I'm saying it's possible, not a guaranteed success!"
"..."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Just one would be far from enough!
Applying to the Federation was worse than clearing some high-level dungeons himself for the first-clear rewards!
"However, it's not like there's no chance!"
Ji Qinghan added.
"What chance?"
Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
"It's fine to tell you."
"But I have one condition..."
A gleam shone in Ji Qinghan's eyes.
"Go ahead. I'll explain to Sword Emperor senior that I don't need your protection!"
"After that, you'll be free!"
Jiang Yuan said calmly.
The reason Ji Qinghan had been staying by Jiang Yuan's side wasn't because she fancied him for his looks or because he was the Flame God's disciple.
It was due to the Ghost Shadow Sword Emperor's order, requiring Ji Qinghan to 'protect' Jiang Yuan's personal safety.
The Ji Family tacitly approved of this attitude.
Although Ji Qinghan, as a Legendary-grade Azure Lotus Sword Saint Class Holder, had boundless future prospects, becoming a true Sword Saint wasn't a major issue.
But that was for the future, requiring at least ten or even several decades.
However, befriending Jiang Yuan now was equivalent to currying favor with the Flame God.
With the Flame God's Water Healing Spell, the Demon God Curse could be steadily suppressed.
This meant the Ji Family effectively gained a top-tier combatant right now.
If the Flame God could completely cure the Demon God Curse, the Ghost Shadow Sword Emperor might even advance further, breaking through to become a Sword Emperor-level powerhouse!
In comparison, what did it matter to'sacrifice' Ji Qinghan a little?
Moreover, it wasn't a loss for Ji Qinghan either.
After all, Jiang Yuan was the Flame God's disciple.
It was true the Ji Family had immense influence, but there were many family members; Ji Qinghan was just one of them.
But so far, Jiang Yuan was the Flame God's only disciple.
Even if he seemed ordinary now, with the Flame God as his master fully dedicated to nurturing him, his future achievements definitely wouldn't be low.
Perhaps this was the benefit brought by status!
Back in Shanhai City, the Lin Family's attitude towards Jiang Yuan was completely different.
Because he was just an ordinary mage without background, they intended to separate him and Lin Muxue, forbidding them from continuing their relationship.
Now, although Jiang Yuan had advanced to the elite-grade Instant Cast Mage Class, there was still a significant gap between him and Ji Qinghan, who possessed a Legendary-grade Class. If their status and backgrounds weren't considered, they were simply incomparable.
Yet the Ji Family still hoped Ji Qinghan would have more contact with Jiang Yuan.
If feelings developed between them, the Ji Family would certainly not stop it, and would even go with the flow to facilitate a good marriage.
Of course, Jiang Yuan knew the Ji Family valued not him personally, but the Flame God.
"Is it a promise?"
Ji Qinghan's words carried a trace of excitement.
"A promise is a promise!"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"The Federal Unified Examination, you know about it."
"The third stage is the Genius Competition stage!"
"Do you know the assessment content?"
Ji Qinghan asked.
"It probably hasn't been announced yet, right?"
Jiang Yuan instinctively glanced at his smart wristband.
"Indeed, it hasn't been announced yet!"
"In the Genius Competition stage, eligible students will undergo another round of competition and elimination!"
"After the elimination, the remaining students will be the top-ranked outstanding ones, basically qualifying for entry into the Five Great Academies!"
"But there's another round of competition afterward, or more accurately, a trial, which won't be disclosed to the public!"
"All the Federation's talented students will gather and enter a lost civilization world for the trial, what we commonly call a secret realm!"
"Among the treasures produced in the trial secret realm is one type: talent spirit crystals!"
Ji Qinghan explained slowly.
Although the Federation's specific examination rules hadn't been released yet.
For a major family like the Ji Family, learning the assessment content and rules in advance wasn't difficult.
"...I see!"
The corner of Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
This was the information gap!
Although with his strength, securing a spot to enter the trial secret realm wouldn't be difficult.
However, he hadn't taken the Federal Unified Examinationvery seriously before.
Because in his view, since he already possessed such strong power, whether he participated in the Unified Examination or even attended school was irrelevant.
The main reason he wanted to take the Unified Examination and definitely get into Nanjiang Academy.
Was more due to his promise with Lin Muxue!
Of course, Jiang Yuan could also use connections.
With the Flame God's status, securing a spot to enter Nanjiang Academy shouldn't be a problem.
But since he had the strength to go through normal channels, there was no need to use privilege.
Although privilege was useful, rights and responsibilities were equal.
"The reason my family's ancestor was able to rise and become the top figure among the younger generation of his time!"
"Was because he obtained many talent spirit crystals in the trial secret realm!"
"In fact, many Class Holders who successfully defied fate and changed their destinies started from the trial secret realm!"
Ji Qinghan looked at Jiang Yuan somewhat apprehensively. "So, our earlier agreement..."
"The agreement still stands!"
"After all, information gap also has value!"
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
Without the information Ji Qinghan brought, Jiang Yuanmight not have taken the Unified Examination seriously.
He might even have skipped taking it, missing this opportunity.
"Thank you!"
Ji Qinghan let out a sigh of relief. "I believe with your strength, you'll definitely enter the trial secret realm. When the time comes, we'll meet in the secret realm and compete to see who's better!"
As a fellow student about to take the Unified Examination, Ji Qinghan wasn't as leisurely as Jiang Yuan.
Although through her own efforts and accepting her family's sword path inheritance, she had successfully reached Second-Rank.
However, her level was only in the forties.
She still needed to continue leveling up.
After all, even with her Legendary-grade Class, she wasn't invincible among peers of the same tier.
Among the students taking the Unified Examination each year, geniuses were never in short supply.
Not to mention, the person before her, although not a true monstrous genius.
But who let him have a good master!
Not only did his master personally help him complete his Class Advancement quest, but his level even reached Second-Rank Level 60!
If the Flame God exerted a bit more effort, he might even help Jiang Yuan break through to Third-Rank before the Unified Examination!
"Reaching Third-Rank isn't difficult for me!"
"What's difficult is the Class choice!"
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from Ji Qinghan's departing figure and looked back at the stack of books on the table.
Then, he pulled out a yellowed, ancient book from among them.
"In-Depth Research on Holy Spirit Mage Variant Versions and the Polyphony Talent"
Chapter 107: The Five Great Academies! Talent Upgrade!
This ancient book did not come from a secret realm or a dungeon.
Instead, it was a piece of academic research conducted hundreds of years ago by a senior at Dongque Academy.
The research topic was a mutated version of the Holy Spirit Mage and the transformation of its talent into 'Polyphonic Casting'!
The Holy Spirit Mage is a rare-grade class, not exactly something unheard of.
However, Jiang Yuan was very interested in the fact that through a certain method, the class could mutate and the talent would become 'Polyphonic Casting'.
The effect of Polyphonic Casting was very simple.
That is, when casting a Skill, it would be released several additional times.
For Jiang Yuan, who had already mastered the 'Instant Chant: Song of Legacy' talent, his cooldown reduction was already nearly maxed out.
As for other high-tier classes, although they could greatly enhance a mage's strength, none of them were what Jiang Yuan wanted.
Polyphonic Casting, however, would allow Jiang Yuan to stack his Skill amplification multipliers and take them to another level.
For example, Jiang Yuan could now cast a Fireball Spellonce every 0.2 seconds.
If he had Polyphonic Casting, as long as it released twice more each time...
It would be equivalent to casting three Fireball Spells in 0.2 seconds.
He could cast fifteen Fireball Spells in a single second!
In this way, the stacking efficiency would be several times higher than before!
Wasn't this exactly the class talent Jiang Yuan had been dreaming of?
"The author of this academic research is Sheng Huai Xu!"
"However, Sheng Huaixu died three hundred years ago!"
"He died in that disaster three hundred years ago. Not only did Dongque City suffer massive destruction, but even Dongque Academy fell into decline. Besides the fall of many powerful experts, many class inheritances were also severed!"
The teacher in charge of the library gave this answer after Jiang Yuan inquired about information regarding the Holy Spirit Mage.
"The inheritance was severed?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
He had finally found the class that suited him best!
"That's right!"
"If you're looking for the normal version of the Holy Spirit Mage Class Advancement inheritance, our Dong Que Academy does have it!"
The library teacher had received instructions from the academy's higher-ups and knew the identity of the young man before him—the personal disciple of the recently famous Flame God.
Therefore, he naturally told Jiang Yuan everything he knew.
"However..."
Just as Jiang Yuan was feeling disappointed, the library teacher flipped through some documents and spoke again.
"A few disciples from Sheng Huaixu's lineage survived, and after receiving an invitation from Nanjiang Academy, they all moved there!"
"As for whether that lineage's inheritance still exists after so many years, I don't know!"
"Perhaps you could go to Nanjiang Academy to ask!"
"Nanjiang Academy is hailed as a holy land for mages. Even if they don't have the inheritance for the mutated version of the Holy Spirit Mage, they have many other even more powerful mage class inheritances!"
The library teacher's words were full of helplessness.
Originally, Dongque Academy's strength was not inferior to Nanjiang Academy's.
But now, there was simply no comparison with Nanjiang Academy.
"It seems I'll have to make a trip to Nanjiang Academy!"
Jiang Yuan expressed his gratitude to the library teacher, returned the book, and left the library.
Within the Federation, there were a total of five top-tier academies.
They were the Federal Central Academy, Nanjiang Academy, Magic Sea Academy, Divine Weapon Academy, and North Cang Academy.
Although they were all top-tier academies, each one had its own unique characteristics.
Federal Central Academy was also known as the Federal Military Academy.
As the name suggested, it was both 'Central' and 'Military'.
Due to its geographical advantage, it attracted numerous talents, and its overall strength ranked first among all the academies.
As long as the Federation did not fall, it was impossible for Central Academy to decline like Dongque Academy.
Nanjiang Academy ranked first in long-range DPS classes, especially for mages and archers. It possessed many complete class inheritances and advancement systems, ranging from Common all the way to Legendary-grade.
Therefore, Nanjiang Academy was also known as the holy land for magic-based Class Holders.
As for the other three academies...
Magic Sea Academy was located in Magic Sea City, which could be said to be the city with the most developed economy and the largest population; it ranked first for warrior and assassin classes, while other classes generally ranked second or third.
Divine Weapon Academy was number one for lifestyle classes and support classes, with highly developed fields such as weapon forging and alchemy.
North Cang Academy was located in the northern part of the Federation, where space was extremely unstable. The number of spatial rift passages there was not even less than in Rift Abyss Valley, and it was also the place with the most dungeons and secret realms.
In fact, whether it was because of Lin Muxue or for his future Class Advancement, Nanjiang Academy was the best choice.
For instance, for an Instant Cast Mage, besides following the Class Advancement route of Qi Xiuzhu, Nanjiang Academy also had class inheritances for it.
"It seems that besides stacking Skill amplification multipliers, I have a lot of things to do!"
Jiang Yuan walked toward the back mountain, with various elemental powers swirling around him.
Flames, gales, frost, lightning...
As long as he was awake, Jiang Yuan would continuously release Skills.
Of course, he controlled the power of the Skills to the minimum possible level, trying his best not to cause destruction or affect others.
The Unified Examination would officially begin in a few days.
He definitely had to make a trip to the trial secret realm of the Lost Civilization.
After all, according to Ji Qinghan, this secret realm was controlled by the Federation and was only open to outstanding genius students every year. It was closed at all other times, and even some high-level experts could not enter.
Before that, Jiang Yuan had to return to Shanhai City.
The Unified Examination was divided into several stages.
If he didn't participate in the first stage, it would be equivalent to forfeiting and he would immediately lose his eligibility.
Then there was the Class Advancement. Jiang Yuannaturally favored the mutated version of the Holy Spirit Mage; although other classes were good, he didn't care for them.
Additionally, before leaving, he wanted to see if he could completely cure Jiang Heng and the others!
...
Xiang Nan had arranged a residence for Jiang Yuan, a villa at the foot of the back mountain.
Outside the villa, an Undead Bone Dragon over a hundred meters long was coiled on top of the building.
This was something Jiang Yuan had brought out from the dungeon.
Of course, to avoid causing too much of an impact, Jiang Yuan only brought out one.
As for the other undead, they had been turned into nourishment for this Undead Bone Dragon.
From the current look of it, this Undead Bone Dragon's strength was almost no different from a seventh-tier being!
Entering the living room, Jiang Yuan saw the 'Flame God' sitting on the sofa.
On the other side of the sofa was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and vigorous vitality. It was the former Vice Principal of Dongque Academy, Frenzied Blood War Emperor Xiang Nan.
Although Xiang Nan did not currently hold a specific position, his past contributions to Dong Que Academywere immense, and his strength was undeniable, so his influence was not low at all.
These past few days, Xiang Nan would head to the villa whenever he had the chance.
After all, having the Flame God give him a few casts of Water Healing Spell was much more comfortable than staying in the Holy Spring.
Xiang Nan had even unleashed his combat power several times, and his body showed no signs of being corroded by demonic energy.
"Jiang Yuan is back?"
Xiang Nan looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile.
"Greetings, Senior Xiang!"
"I just returned from the library!"
"I discovered in an ancient book a mutated class of the Holy Spirit Mage, written by a teacher named Sheng Huaixu..."
Jiang Yuan recounted what happened at the library. "I would like to trouble Senior Xiang to see if you can contact Nanjiang Academy to see if that lineage's inheritance still exists. If possible, I want to advance to the mutated version of the Holy Spirit Mage class researched by that lineage!"
Chapter 108: Mystic Ice Domain! Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!
"Oh, you're already level 60. You really can prepare for your Third-Rank now!"
Xiang Nan first glanced at the Flame God, seeing that the Flame God had no intention of speaking.
Pausing for a moment, Xiang Nan added, "Actually, if you choose to join Dong Que Academy, we will definitely devote all our efforts to nurturing you!"
"The academy's existing rare-tier Third-Rank class inheritances are yours for the choosing!"
"No matter which inheritance you pick, we can help you complete the Class Advancement immediately, assisting you in smoothly breaking through to the Third-Rank."
Xiang Nan looked at Jiang Yuan.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Xiang!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"Are you sure you won't reconsider?!"
"The Five Great Academies are good, but too many geniuses join every year; they might not value you as much as Dong Que Academy does!"
"At Dong Que Academy, with me backing you, what class inheritance could you possibly not get?"
"With the Jiang Family and Ji Family as your support, you could even walk tall and unchallenged in Dongque City!"
Xiang Nan continued to persuade him.
Through his understanding over these past few days, Xiang Nan discovered that the Flame God placed great importance on Jiang Yuan, his only disciple.
Even Jiang Yuan's Class Advancement into an Instant Cast Mage was something the Flame God personally took him to complete.
The Instant Cast Mage Class Change Voucher was a drop from a boss the Flame God personally killed.
As for the Class Advancement quest, the Flame Godcarried him through the whole way, directly clearing the Lone City of the Eastern Palace Dungeon.
Even in some great families, it would be impossible to look after a junior to such an extent.
Xiang Nan had even once suspected whether Jiang Yuanwas the Flame God's illegitimate son.
But regardless, to keep the Flame God's heart, he had to keep Jiang Yuan's person.
"The world is so big, I still want to go out and explore!"
Jiang Yuan refused once more.
"Alright then!"
"No matter which academy or power you join in the future, Dong Que Academy will always be your home; at least I personally will always welcome your return."
"Additionally, regarding the Holy Spirit Mage inheritance you just mentioned, I will personally inquire with the Nanjiang Academy!"
Xiang Nan said with a look of regret.
After speaking, he bid farewell to the Flame God and left the villa.
Jiang Yuan also returned to his room.
With Xiang Nan's help, he would definitely be able to get information, so he wouldn't need to expend his own effort.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan had no reason not to help with Jiang Yuan's request.
In fact, the more requests Jiang Yuan made, the better.
Only then would the Flame God owe more favors; through the exchange of favors and interests, the relationship between the two sides could be deepened.
[Ding! You have absorbed a talent spirit crystal. Your talent 'Magic Mastery' has been promoted to 'Elemental Control'.]
Elemental Control: Allows learning of all low-tier Skills of magic-based classes. All elemental affinities are increased by 10 points, and elemental Skill effects are increased by 10%.
The talent really did upgrade!
It was indeed stronger than the previous Magic Mastery.
Of course, there was still a gap compared to the Instant Cast Mage's 'Instant Chant: Song of Legacy'.
Previously, he could only learn basic Skills, which were Tier 1 Skills.
Now he could learn low-tier Skills, including Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Skills.
Additionally, his elemental affinity had been improved.
For a mage, elemental affinity is equally vital.
After all, most mage Skills are elemental in nature.
The level of elemental affinity affects the performance and effectiveness of Skills.
After Jiang Yuan consumed the second talent spirit crystal, his talent did not upgrade this time.
However, all elemental affinities increased by 20 points, and elemental Skill effects increased by 20%.
"According to the records in books about talent spirit crystals, upgrading a green talent to a blue talent requires at least three talent spirit crystals!"
"And the stronger the talent effect, the more talent spirit crystals are needed for an upgrade!"
Jiang Yuan mused.
It seemed impossible to raise his talent in the short term.
But at least he knew the channel for obtaining talent spirit crystals.
With his strength, wouldn't competing with a group of students for talent spirit crystals inside a secret realm be effortless?
...
In the time that followed, Jiang Yuan stayed hidden in his room, casting Skills!
[Ding! Used Ice Seal Technique once. Skill power increased by onefold. Current amplification: 1,000 times.]
[Ding! Ice Seal Technique amplification has reached 1,000 times. Gained special effect: Black Ice Magic Array.]
[Ding! Used Ice Seal Technique once. Skill power increased by onefold. Current amplification: 10,000 times.]
[Ding! Ice Seal Technique amplification has reached 10,000 times. Gained special effect: Mystic Ice Domain.]
[Ding! Used Ice Seal Technique once. Skill power increased by onefold. Current amplification: 100,000 times.]
[Ding! Ice Seal Technique amplification has reached 100,000 times. Gained special effect: Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles.]
The 1,000-fold effect, Black Ice Magic Array, can perform large-scale potent confinement. It summons a large number of ice pillars infused with the power of extreme cold black ice from the sky to seal targets over a wide area. Targets fall into extreme cold, suffering negative effects such as gradual failure of bodily functions, difficulty in circulating blood and mana, reduced defense, reduced life recovery speed, and even affected thinking speed.
The 10,000-fold effect is the Cold Abyss Ice Seal. Based on the Black Ice Magic Array, the frozen area is significantly increased, pulling the target and the surrounding area of at least one kilometer in diameter into the 'Black Ice Cold Abyss Domain'.
Within the domain, the extreme cold temperature drops to absolute zero. All targets within range will be instantly frozen. The frozen state carries the 'Ice Seal Mark' effect; targets cannot mobilize any elemental power, and their blood, mana, and other energies are completely locked down.
Furthermore, the ground and space within the domain are solidified by the influence of Black Ice Power, forming indestructible ice-sealed barriers that block external rescue and internal breakout.
Finally, there is the 100,000-fold effect.
Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!
Using the Ice Sealing Law Power, it freezes an ultra-large-scale domain world. The minimum range is ten kilometers, with no upper limit, depending on the user's strength.
The Ice Sealing Law Power can perform a permanent seal and freeze on the target's body, soul, and everything else.
During this period, their time dimension is infinitely close to zero. Without external force to change it, no changes will occur.
Even some side effects, such as injuries, illnesses, energy, curses, etc., can be permanently frozen.
Although the description of the 100,000-fold Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles effect is simple...
Jiang Yuan knew clearly that the simpler something appeared, the more extraordinary it was.
A single strand of Ice Sealing Law Power alone was enough to surpass all textual descriptions.
And this time, Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles didn't just increase in range and sealing effect.
In addition to freezing the body, it could even seal the soul!
One must know that some Class Holders have poor physical fitness, but their spirit and soul are exceptionally powerful.
Even if the opponent's body was destroyed, their soul would still not die and could escape; the soul itself even possessed powerful combat strength.
"Not bad, this control effect is getting stronger and stronger!"
"From a single-target range to the ultra-large-scale Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!"
"From the body to the soul, complete control!"
A satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Jiang Yuan's mouth. "If one day Jiang Heng and the others can't hold on anymore, I'll just give them a permanent ice seal. That could be considered a roundabout way of extending their lives!"
The special effects of the Ice Seal Technique had always followed the path of control to the very end.
By now, the six Skills Jiang Yuan mastered all had at least a 100,000-fold bonus and a 100,000-fold special effect.
Chapter 109: One-Million-Fold Special Effect: Wind Phase· Void Blink
After the Ice Seal Technique was upgraded to 100,000-fold, Jiang Yuan's focus shifted to the Gale Technique.
Of course, during this period, Jiang Yuan didn't forget to stack other Skills together as well.
After all, the Skills he had learned had very low cooldowns and the ability to be cast instantly; he could release a Skillmany times in a single second.
However, after Jiang Yuan made many attempts and performed calculations and statistics, he discovered something.
Even if Skills could be cast instantly without the need for chanting or casting motions...
...the maximum number of times a Skill could be released within one second was twelve!
He didn't know if this was the limit of an Instant Cast Mage's casting speed.
Or if there were other ways to improve it, continuing to increase the casting speed beyond twelve times.
But in Jiang Yuan's view, even if it couldn't be improved further, he was quite satisfied.
After all, twelve times a second was already very impressive!
Which man could be so fast?
[Ding, used Gale Technique once, Skill power increased by one fold; current amplification: 999,998 times]
[Ding, used Gale Technique once, Skill power increased by one fold; current amplification: 999,999 times]
[Ding, used Gale Technique once, Skill power increased by one fold; current amplification: 1,000,000 times]
[Ding, Gale Technique amplification reached 1,000,000 times, obtained special effect: Wind Phase · Void Blink]
Through Jiang Yuan's tireless efforts in casting Skills, he finally upgraded his second Skill to a one-million-fold amplification bonus!
The special effect of Wind Phase · Void Blink merges the Wind Element with the Law of Spatial Phase, allowing the user to enter a "Wind Phase State," achieving high-speed movement that ignores most physical obstacles and magical barriers, enabling direct passage through obstacles with extremely high concealment.
Void Blink, as the name suggests, allows for continuous multiple teleports in the void while in the Wind Phase State; during Void Blink, one gains a 100% dodge effect, ignoring any attacks.
Unlike Void Blink, Wind Phase provides ultra-high and ultra-fast movement speed, but even with rapid movement, it doesn't consume much mana.
However, if it's a teleport, the mana consumed will depend on the distance; the further the teleport, the more it consumes.
If it involves crossing planes, such as forcibly entering the real world from a dungeon world, or entering the Abyss Realm from the real world, it will consume a massive amount of mana.
In essence, the Wind Phase State is comparable to the Flame God Possession state.
Void Blink is comparable to the Extinction Flame Dragon; both possess some power of the Laws!
Moreover, being able to teleport across space is the most terrifying part.
A bit more mana consumption was acceptable.
After all, in battle, Void Blink is what can catch an opponent off guard and play a crucial role.
"I didn't expect this million-fold Gale Technique to actually merge with a part of the power of the Law of Space!"
Jiang Yuan was beyond pleasantly surprised; this was a fantastic development.
After all, even if he wanted to learn space-type Skills now, he simply couldn't.
Skills with spatial power are basically mid-to-high-tier Skills.
Jiang Yuan is only at the Second-Rank right now and doesn't meet the learning requirements at all.
As for whether there are some special Tier 1 or Tier 2 space-type Skills?
The world is vast and full of wonders!
But Jiang Yuan might not necessarily happen to come across one!
Screech!
Jiang Huang'er, who had been staying in the room, suddenly burst with azure light, transforming into a gust of azure wind that shot straight into the clouds.
Jiang Yuan looked up, and though there was surprise in his eyes, he wasn't too unexpected.
Because last time, when Jiang Yuan's level reached 60, Jiang Huang'er had completed a breakthrough advancement.
This time, under the influence of the million-fold amplification effect, there would surely be some changes.
The Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix's breakthrough this time didn't involve a gradual gathering of spiritual energy; as soon as it erupted, it was an earth-shattering celestial phenomenon!
With the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix as the center, an Azure Nether Wind Domain quickly formed, expanding crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye: one hundred meters, five hundred meters, one kilometer, two kilometers, ten kilometers...
The azure wind breath swept across the fields like a tsunami; wherever it passed, the void trembled inch by inch, and clouds were crushed into powder, turning into a sky full of azure mist. Even the sunlight was swallowed by this majestic wind power, leaving only a world of extreme azure.
And the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix at the center of the storm was undergoing a complete transformation...
First was her appearance; the Azure Phoenix was tinged with gold, her divine power shaking the world. Compared to her previous majestic dignity, the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix now had a terrifying texture where divinity and annihilation coexisted.
Her original three-colored feather coat of Pale Jade Azure, Mist Azure, and Flowing Wind Green was now imbued with a faint azure-gold flowing light.
The Pale Jade Azure of the primary feathers became even deeper, like condensed ten-thousand-year-old jade, yet gold patterns faintly emerged at the core of the feathers, appearing as if stars were drifting within them as they shifted!
The flight feathers at the wingtips, once Flowing Wind Green, were now edged with a circle of golden light, sharp as divine weapons. A gentle tremor would tear the air, making a whistling sound.
Even the fluffy light azure down under the wings was speckled with tiny gold dots, as if a handful of stardust from the Spirit Ruin Realm had been scattered over them, shining brightly.
Most astonishing were the tail feathers!
The twelve strands of tail plumage extended once more, finally settling at a terrifying length of thirty zhang. Every wind spirit tassel on the tail plumage had turned golden-azure. When they swayed, they no longer just pulled spatial ripples but directly sent out circles of rule-based waves. Wherever they passed, the wind elements of heaven and earth bowed in submission.
The deep emerald azure of her phoenix eyes had completely turned into golden-azure vertical pupils. Wherever her gaze swept, the void collapsed into tiny black holes, within which flowed the most fundamental Law of Wind of the Spirit Ruin Realm.
When the last wisp of azure-gold flowing light merged into the Demon Phoenix's body, the storm between heaven and earth suddenly calmed.
The thirty-zhang-long tail plumage brushed gently, and the azure mist in the sky completely dissipated. Sunlight fell once again, reflecting a blinding light off the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix's azure-gold feather coat.
[Name: Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix (Jiang Huang'er)]
[Race: Divine Phoenix Clan]
[Level: Level 210]
[Strength: 25,000 (+240%)]
[Spirit: 43,000 (+500%)]
[Agility: 60,000 (+700%)]
[Constitution: 35,000 (+320%)]
[Mana: 25,800,000 / 25,800,000]
[HP: 14,700,000 / 14,700,000]
[Talents: Divine Phoenix Power, Spirit Ruin Astral Wind, Divine Phoenix Legacy Bloodline, Azure Feather Divine Curse...]
[Skills: Law of Wind, Wind-Riding Realm Breaker, Azure Phoenix Dharma Aspect, Azure Nether Wind Domain, Thousand Feathers Transformation, Spirit Ruin Wind Seal, Blue Sky Azure Blade, Azure Nether Astral Wind Coil, Wind Breath Spirit Healing Art, Spirit Ruins Wind God Transformation...]
Jiang Yuan looked at the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix in the sky; the commotion this time was much larger than the previous breakthrough.
Her level jumped from 190 to 210.
She still belonged to the seventh-tier level and had not reached the eighth-tier.
In terms of attributes, she also received a significant boost.
However, the tier bonuses hadn't changed much.
Besides that, she gained two powerful Skills.
One is the Law of Wind, which is equivalent to mastering the ultimate power of the Law of Wind.
The other is Wind-Riding Realm Breaker; it's no longer simple travel but can directly tear open spatial rifts to travel between different realms.
It's somewhat similar to Jiang Yuan's Void Blink.
Moreover, it also suddenly incorporated some power of the Law of Space from mastering the ultimate power of the wind element.
Jiang Yuan guessed that it must have undergone some kind of qualitative change in connection with the million-fold special effect "Wind Phase · Void Blink."
Chapter 110: Who Exactly is the Master!
"Is this... a breakthrough to the Eighth Rank? Such a terrifying aura!"
"It doesn't feel like it. Its level is at most Level 210, but because the level of power it controls is extremely high, it creates the illusion of an Eighth Rank breakthrough!"
"Can anyone tell the origin of that azure phoenix? What kind of divine beast is it, or is it a descendant of a divine beast?"
Several figures appeared in a secluded spot high in the sky.
Among these people, besides the experts from Dong Que Academy, there were personnel sent by the City Lord's Manor, as well as members of various family factions who had come to watch the commotion.
They were staring intently at the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix, which was currently undergoing a transformation in the distance.
The wind elements stirred up by the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix swept across the fields like a tsunami, affecting an area of several dozen kilometers.
And since Dong Que Academy was located in a vital area of Dongque City,
it was very difficult not to notice.
In response to this sudden situation, Dongque Citynaturally had to send experts to investigate.
If some ferocious beast or monster had snuck into the city, it would inevitably cause large-scale casualties.
In particular, the aura erupting from the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix was extremely terrifying, no weaker than some Eighth Rank monsters.
Fortunately, when they arrived to investigate, they discovered that the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix was the Flame God's pet.
Moreover, the Spirit Ruins Azure Phoenix showed no signs of attacking or destructive behavior, so they did not intervene.
"I once read a record in an ancient book from another world!"
"This creature is called the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix. It lives in a world called the Spirit Ruin Realm, but the Spirit Ruin Realm does not communicate with the outside world and has been in a long-term closed state."
"Precisely because of this, the Spirit Ruin Realm has become one of the few worlds that has not been invaded, merged, or annexed by the Abyss Realm!"
"Even ancient books have different accounts of the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix. It is said to be the descendant of some wind-attribute divine beast, but as for which one, it could be a phoenix, a demon god, or perhaps a hybrid descendant of both."
"There is also a saying that the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix is a unique product of the Spirit Ruin Realm!"
"Additionally, ancient books mention that in ancient times, the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix was a natural battle pet that could form soul contracts with others. However, since the Spirit Ruin Realm was sealed, they have been rarely seen!"
An expert from Dong Que Academy spoke.
"What exactly is the origin of that Flame God? To think he could contract such a powerful battle pet!?"
Everyone felt nothing but envy and jealousy toward the Spirit Ruins Demon Phoenix.
This was equivalent to having a powerful combat partner.
Furthermore, the lifespan of a battle pet is often longer than that of a human.
Even if the contracted master's lifespan is exhausted, the battle pet remains alive to look after the master's descendants and family.
The reason some families in the Federation can last for a thousand years is that their ancestors raised a powerful pet to protect the family and bless future generations.
After all, even the top families cannot guarantee they will never decline; if the younger generation fails to live up to expectations, the family will surely fall into ruin.
But with a top-tier battle pet, the family's continuity and prosperity can be protected indefinitely.
"Unclear. It's as if he just popped out of nowhere!"
"Before this, not only did our Federation have no records regarding the Flame God,"
"but other countries and factions also had no news of him!"
"In fact, there isn't a single person even similar to the Flame God!"
Vice City Lord Gao Du spoke up.
"What about that disciple of his?"
Someone asked.
"An orphan by birth, nothing extraordinary about him!"
"At most, his academic grades were a bit better while he was studying at school!"
"When he awakened, he was just an ordinary Mage!"
Vice City Lord Gao Du said.
"Then why would the Flame God take him as a disciple?"
That person asked again.
"Perhaps it's just luck!"
"Or perhaps there's some history between them!"
"Who knows? Powerful experts usually have some strange quirks!"
The expert from Dong Que Academy remarked.
"Could it be a front used to deceive people?"
Someone proposed a theory. "Hidden behind it might be some unspeakable secret or conspiracy!"
"Don't overthink it!"
"At least judging by the Flame God's current actions, he hasn't done anything detrimental to our Dongque City or the Federation!"
"He has even protected Dongque City multiple times and made huge contributions to us!"
"As long as he doesn't do anything atrocious, he will always be a senior guest official of Dongque City and an honorary professor of Dong Que Academy!"
Vice City Lord Gao Du glared at the man. "If your words today were to get out, I'm afraid Senior Ji would be the first to use your life as a sacrifice!"
"...I was just speaking off the cuff, please don't take it seriously!"
Hearing this, the man quickly lowered his head.
"Do you think the Flame God can really heal Senior Jiangand the others?"
Someone else raised a question.
To this, the others did not reply.
From their perspective, they naturally hoped the Flame God could heal The three people, including Jiang Heng.
After all, once the injuries of those three are completely healed, Dongque City will gain three top-tier combatants. Perhaps they really could lead Dongque City to reclaim its peak from three hundred years ago.
However, it has been so many years, and they have sought out countless experts, yet none could solve the problem!
Can the Flame God really do it?
If the Flame God can truly achieve this, then he will be the greatest benefactor of the entire Dongque City!
...
"Jiang Huang'er's strength has received another massive boost!"
"Now, there's another powerful combatant who is almost invincible below the Eighth Rank and can even contend with the Eighth Rank!"
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face, but it soon froze.
He suddenly thought of a major problem.
His own increase in strength, while partly due to the system,
also relied on him working day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep to cast Skills, being so busy every day that he didn't even have time to rest.
But what about Jiang Huang'er?
She doesn't even need to cultivate. She eats when she should eat and sleeps when she should sleep, needing to do nothing at all.
Yet as long as Jiang Yuan's strength increases, Jiang Huang'er's strength skyrockets along with it.
In fact, her strength increases even more than Jiang Yuan's!?
Is there any justice in this?
Who exactly is the master here!
Whoosh!
A breeze drifted by, and Jiang Huang'er, dressed in a set of azure robes, appeared beside Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Huang'er's smile was like a blooming flower, her heart full of joy since her strength had reached another level.
However, when her jade-like, crystal-clear beautiful eyes looked at Jiang Yuan, she noticed that he seemed to be angry.
"Quickly say sorry to me!"
Jiang Yuan looked directly into Jiang Huang'er's beautiful eyes.
"Wh... why?"
Jiang Huang'er's voice was soft as the wind, and her exquisite, flawless face was filled with confusion.
After these days of learning, Jiang Huang'er had basically mastered human language.
Normal conversation and communication were no problem for her!
"Don't ask why, just say it!"
Jiang Yuan put on a fierce expression.
"I'm sorry!"
Although Jiang Huang'er felt it was strange and even felt a bit wronged, she still obeyed obediently like a little wife.
"That's more like it!"
Jiang Yuan had a second thought and said, "Call me Master!"
"Ah?"
Jiang Huang'er's red lips parted wide, her phoenix eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Yuan's expression hardened.
"Mas... Master!"
After Jiang Huang'er spoke, the young girl's face was full of bashfulness, covered in a rosy flush. She looked both pitiful and adorable, making one want to tease her.
"Good girl. You must always listen to Master in the future, okay?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt much better!
