Minos Floating City,
Bolcan stood at the top of the Magic Tower, watching Lisâs figure disappear into the crowd below in silence.
"Bolcan, how did your conversation go with that Lis?"
A shadow appeared behind Bolcan, like an elusive red phantom.
"He said it wasnât Lord Stephensâs instruction."
Bolcan spoke in a deep voice, then walked back into the room from the window, taking a sip of the fine wine in his cup.
"Really? Iâm not quite convinced."
The shadow stood aside, its voice continuing.
"Without Lord Stephensâs support, how could Lis possibly contend with the other schools?"
"He actually refused to cooperate with the Tower of Burning Embers, is he really that extreme?"
"Does he really think he can achieve his goal alone?"
"This Lis Kain... is not simple."
Bolcan said softly,
"Although itâs unclear why he, as a disciple of Mr. Stephens, became the World Tree Favored, gaining the World Treeâs recognition; those who underestimate him because of his youth will suffer greatly."
"Uh... so Bolcan, should we still cooperate with him?"
After a pause, the red shadow hesitantly said,
"We donât have any demands, and heâs not interested; it seems he genuinely doesnât want to cooperate with any school."
"Heh... even if he doesnât want to cooperate with us, can he prevent us from lending a hand?"
Bolcan said with a smile.
At this moment, the leader of the Tower of Burning Embers, beneath his robust physique, had eyes flashing with a glimmer of wisdom.
"This..."
The red shadow didnât know what to say.
No, Leader...
Doing this is really like unconditionally licking the other partyâs boots...
If it were the Second Councilman, Judgement Flame Stephens, there wouldnât be much to say.
But Lis is just the disciple of the Second Councilman!
Our Tower of Burning Embers is nonetheless one of the top three schools in the Pan-Continent Mage Association!
Isnât doing this really embarrassing?
As if sensing the otherâs hesitation, Bolcan looked up at him.
In that instant, the legendary red shadow shuddered, as if recalling the dread once instilled by muscle, quickly nodding frantically.
No choice, having such a formidable boss, heâs quite helpless too!
...
After leaving the Tower of Burning Embers, Lis strolled around, looking at the Magic Book in his hand.
Perhaps because many people were reading like him, not many noticed Lis along the way.
After some unknown time passed, Lis closed the Magic Book in his hands and let out a long sigh of relief.
Bolcan of the Destruction Flame really sent him a big gift.
The Magic Book in his hand was different from the first one Bolcan took out.
This wasnât the heritage of the Tower of Burning Embers, but Bolcanâs own recorded insights.
It documented Bolcanâs research and achievements with his own spells, and Lis, after a quick glance, found many points of interest.
This was a significant help to Lis.
Besides, there were many special skills recorded.
However, the style of these skills had some differences compared to those of a Legendary Mage.
The one Lis found most interesting was a special skill called the Destruction Flame Body Refining Technique.
According to Bolcanâs record, this is a special method he created to train the body.
By using a flame known as Destruction Flame to temper the body, it could significantly enhance the Strength and Endurance Attributes, and reinforce body strength.
In fact, despite Bolcanâs burly build, he is indeed a pure Mage professional.
The reason he has such a physique is likely due to his various methods of body training.
And that was merely his hobby...
Nevertheless, the Destruction Flame Body Refining Technique, with its apparent effects, is of considerable help to Lis as well.
Looking at Lis from the outside seems normal, but in terms of either the Strength Attribute or the Endurance Attribute, he cannot compare with Bolcan.
The benefits that the Destruction Flame Body Refining Technique brings to Lis should be even more apparent!
...
Jonas City, Magic Academy, Library second floor,
Nelson rushed in hastily from outside, wandering around as if searching for someone.
Even when the librarian warned him, he didnât restrain himself much.
Until he found his friend Cole in the corner, he finally calmed down.
He looked around, then directly pulled Cole out of the Library.
"Whatâs wrong with you? So anxious."
Cole looked curiously at Nelson.
Although his friend is good at socializing with others, he is usually quite steady.
Why is he suddenly so excited?
"You donât know what I just saw?!"
Nelson quickly lowered his voice and said,
"I just got a very important secret from someone else!"
"Itâs the announcement of the establishment of the new school, the Source of All Magic!"
"Arenât we about to graduate? Should we try this school when the time comes?"
"The Source of All Magic? I havenât heard of it before..."
Cole hesitated a bit.
Since he and Nelson took the academy test together and received a reward, they were essentially in a graduation state.
From then on, they could leave the academy anytime.
But in the short term, they didnât plan to.
After all, once leaving the academy, itâs hard to find such a good learning environment again.
