Crimson Wizarding Academy.
core area.
This is a flat-topped mountain hundreds of meters high, with a peak area of hundreds of acres, and a huge lava lake at its center.
Ian followed Gabriel.
Climb to the top of the mountain.
Aaron, dressed in a gold and red wizard's robe, stood with his back to the lake.
Turn around.
His gaze passed through Gabriel and landed on Ian, as if trying to discern how many secrets he still harbored.
He spoke slowly, "You are even more outstanding than I imagined."
"You flatter me, sir."

Ian said modestly.
Aaron shook his head and said, "Being able to comprehend the Rhythm of Fire at your stage, even in the Gray Tower, you would definitely not be an unknown wizard. But it's a pity that the Elemental Mysteries are only in a lower-level academy, which has somewhat hindered you."
Ian froze, then said, "Dean, I don't think so. Without the mysteries of the elements, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I've learned so much here."
He wasn't joking.
With his talent, there was no way he could have joined the Gray Tower back then, especially since he had indeed obtained many things in the elemental mysteries that even the Gray Tower might not have been able to obtain.
In the Grey Tower.
He might not have achieved the same level of success as he does now.
Hearing this, Aaron nodded in satisfaction: "When did you comprehend the rhythm of fire?"
"It was probably when I was in the Alchemy Department, using the Forging Fire, that I suddenly felt a sense of closeness to the flames."
Ian didn't say anything about the dream.
That was during the early days of the Second Ring Road.
Aaron couldn't help but grin again.
This level of skill is something only the top geniuses within the Gray Tower could achieve.
Gabriel, standing to the side, also suddenly froze.
It was a little awkward.
He's a whole level below Ian.
"Let me sense your spiritual power?"
Aaron spoke again.
Ian had some guesses, but he still released a wisp of his spiritual energy for Aaron to sense.
I could feel that unusual vitality.
It seemed as if his suspicions had been confirmed.
"As expected, your talent is at the Dawn level. I knew that it would be impossible for someone at the Silver Moon level to make such progress."
"That guy, Kieran, actually concealed your talent for the sake of the Four Symbols inheritance. That's exactly the kind of thing he'd do."
Aaron couldn't help but sigh.
His talent was revealed.
But it seems that nothing has been exposed.
Ian was taken aback.
But he knew in his heart that this was bound to happen sooner or later. He originally thought that Chenhui's talent might cause a sensation.
But after meeting Gabriel...
He realized that this kind of talent was definitely not an isolated case in the academy.
"Then you are the third wizard in this batch with the talent of the Sun-level. Gabriel and Quentin Sullivan are the three of them. However, their talents are a level higher than yours, reaching the level of Blazing."
As he spoke, Aaron looked toward Gabriel on the side.
Upon hearing about the talent, Gabriel straightened his spine considerably, and confidence returned to his face.
But looking into Ian's eyes.
The confidence on my face immediately diminished a bit.
"Don't be surprised. Although the territory of elemental mysteries is not large, even if it's just a matter of luck, every few years or decades, there will always be wizards with this kind of talent. What I didn't expect was that three of you would appear at the same time, two of whom even reached the second level. But in terms of comprehension, you are stronger than these two."
"It seems that fate is also favoring the mysteries of the elements."
Aaron couldn't help but sigh.
The second level, even in the realm of elemental mysteries, is a talent rarely seen in decades.
That's why Gabriel and Quentin were taken in as students by him and Simon.
This already shows the potential to break through the third ring road.
Gabriel, who was listening nearby, did not refute it.
He assumed it was true, and when he saw that fiery tornado, he realized that Ian's comprehension was probably stronger than his own.
"But your luck is both good and bad."
Aaron changed the subject.
The two were puzzled.
"Unfortunately, the elemental stone vein is located in the White Stone Mountains. This will be discovered sooner or later. Even with the support of the Radiant Branch, I cannot predict the future situation of White Stone Territory, because the other academies also have other branches of the Gray Tower behind them."
Once they decide to participate in the struggle, not even I, let alone you, dare to say I can protect myself.
Aaron's calm voice was like a thunderclap.
This gave Ian a jolt of energy.
He had thought about the war over the mines, but he never expected Aaron's prediction to be so terrible.
Several branches of the Grey Tower participated.
From Edith's brief message, he already knew what a behemoth the Grey Tower was.
"Is the situation that serious?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, but don't worry too much, because the Radiant Wizarding Division is one of the most powerful divisions."

Aaron's words reassured Ian considerably.
"Then why do you say we might still have good luck, teacher?" Gabriel couldn't help but ask at this point.
Aaron smiled and said, "In order to prepare for this future war, the academy naturally needs to strengthen the reserves and quality of wizards, and the Crimson Eye's takeover and the upcoming mining veins also give us this capability."
"The academy plans to establish a new wizard training system called the Elemental Child Project. The goal is to fully cultivate wizards within the academy who have reached the peak of the second ring, and select five to strive for the third ring."
The Elemental Child Project?
The pinnacle of the Second Ring Road?
Ian was taken aback.
They're only in the middle of the second ring road.
"The Children of the Elements are not related to you for the time being, but it is part of a system. Under the Children of the Elements, there are also five Prospective Children of the Elements, selected from wizards at the late second ring. They will also be given a lot of resources," Aaron said.
"What about the middle section of the Second Ring Road?"
Ian couldn't help but ask.
"No!"
"No?"
Aaron nodded affirmatively and said, "This plan is to reach the third ring, with the minimum requirement being the late stage of the second ring."
However, since the war has just ended, there will be a buffer period of about five years before it can fully begin.
"Ian, you need to keep going. If you miss this chance, you'll have to wait for the next batch."
It seems certain that Gabriel will achieve a breakthrough within five years.
The problem lies with Ian.
Five years!
Ian's breath hitched.
As his physique grew stronger, his need for resources increased, so how could he miss this opportunity to train a wizard with the full power of the academy?
But five years.
The pressure was indeed too great.
Although it may have taken him four years to go from the early to the middle stage of the second ring road, the middle stage was obviously more difficult.
Looks like I'll have to improve my talent when I get back.
Moreover, a larger war is imminent, and he certainly needs greater strength to protect himself.
Ian took a deep breath.
I just feel like I have a new goal.
Within five years.
Later stages of the Second Ring Road.
Gabriel, standing to the side, also felt much more nervous, not because of the reserved spots, but because of the war.
the other side.
"Okay, found it."
Suddenly, Aaron spoke from ahead.
next second.
The lake exploded, and a colossal creature rose from the lava, its wingspan exceeding thirty meters. Its entire body was covered in dark red scales, each scale edge shimmering with a lava-like luster.
When its wings are spread, they create a scorching storm, stirring up swirling pillars of fire on the lake.
The dragon raised its head high, its dark golden vertical pupils looking down at the three people on the mountaintop. A deep tremor emanated from the depths of its throat, and its pupils were filled with hatred!
"Fire Dragon!"
Ian was startled by the sudden commotion and recognized it as a magical beast from the encyclopedia.
Flame Dragon.
One of the lower bloodlines of the dragon, yet also a powerful creature with the potential to reach the third ring.
However, at this moment, the aura emanating from this flying dragon...
It's just the Second Ring Road.
"I had already discovered that there was a fire dragon in Crimson Academy, and I was preparing to train it to the third ring. Sure enough, I'm only one step away."
Aaron couldn't help but sigh.
But a single step can make all the difference.
The dragon roared and charged toward the three of them, carrying with it lava like a tsunami.
But next second.
The lava transformed into chains that bound the dragon's wings and limbs, rendering it unable to move despite its roars.
Aaron slowly flew to the front of the dragon.
A wisp of flame reached the dragon's forehead.
The dragon seemed to sense something, and fear spread through its eyes.
Ian looked at it carefully as well.
next second.
The flames flew to the dragon's forehead.
boom!
The explosive flames swept across the dragon's forehead and tail like a ripple, creating a wave of energy.
The explosive energy caused a giant wave, hundreds of meters high, to suddenly appear in the nearby lava lake, revealing the bottom of the lake.
After a while.
The light in the dragon's vertical pupils vanished instantly, and its head drooped limply. Its life force was gone.
And all this.
It happened in just a few breaths.
Gabriel and Ian were both equally stunned.
Then, strands of golden-red blood flowed from the dragon's body, most of which were collected by Aaron.
Some of them flew into the two bottles.
It flew towards the two of them.
"The blood of the Flame Dragon is a superb material for refining top-tier fire attributes; everyone who sees it gets a share."
Aaron said slowly.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you, Dean."
The two looked delighted.
"Let's go back. The Darkfire Pit is a rare opportunity, don't miss it." Aaron, who had already begun dissecting the dragon, turned to the two and said.
The two left respectfully.
Ian glanced into the depths of the lava, as if he had seen something.
However, Aaron is still alive.
It's not a good time to act.
Ian then left.
"Ian, good luck! I look forward to you and me becoming prospective elemental children together in five years."
Gabriel said to Ian.
Ian nodded.
Gabriel isn't a bad person, he's just a bit arrogant because he hasn't seen people in a long time, but otherwise he's fine.
soon.
The two returned to the Darkfire Pit.
Huo Yan and Yan Xin didn't ask any further questions.
After the two rested.
He entered it again to cultivate.
This time.
Ian did not linger in the dark fire area, but instead looked at the area of black and red flames.
I took a deep breath.
Then take a step in.
A strong burning and corrosive sensation came over me, but because of the fragments of the laws within my body, I felt good.
Ian sat down.
The rhythm of fire rose.
Not far away.
Gabriel glanced at Ian ahead and then ignored him. Ian's comprehension was very strong, something Gabriel probably couldn't match.
But Ian can't compete with his talent.
The time is not the time for their showdown.
See you next time.
That will be the time for him to truly shine.
As for now, just cultivate within your own limits; any talk of competition is utterly foolish.
A true wizard.
It should be about focusing on oneself.
"The black and red area."
In the black area, Huo Yan and Yan Xin both sighed at the same time, and their gazes toward Ian became even more amiable.
"Here, the rhythm of fire intensifies even more."
Ian felt the almost leaping level of proficiency, his mental focus intense, not daring to relax.
Because at this point he could already feel it.
The eerie atmosphere here is slowly dissipating.
It might not even last half a month, at most ten days, before it's completely over.
So he only has a few days left.
soon.
He reached his limit.
Leaving the pit, he continued his resource-hunting journey and reaped considerable rewards.
However, after collecting data from one location...
Ian, however, did not proceed to the next location.
Instead, he turned his body away and came out again, completely concealed by a black wizard's robe.
Then, avoiding the search along the way, they headed towards the side of the sensed presence.
soon.
In their gaze.
A wizard's tower appeared.
Just then, a wizard emerged from among them, seemingly having gained quite a bit, but Ian's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"A set of alchemist equipment for an intermediate alchemist is worth at least hundreds of thousands of magic stones, and I found it so easily."
Nash Winster took a deep breath and examined the resources in his spatial ring.
Behind him was a wizard tower belonging to a second-ring intermediate alchemist with crimson eyes.
This wizard was unlucky; he died on the outskirts before he could gather the resources inside the wizard's tower.
He won her over.
This is quite a windfall.
"But compared to that guy Ian."
As if he was thinking of something troubling him, he frowned involuntarily.
That guy Ian, during a previous interception, captured a group of wizards they had released, and supposedly made a huge profit.
They were initially puzzled.
But as news spread from the Fire Pit, they learned that Ian had actually broken through to the mid-stage of the second ring.
They're just giving him credit for nothing.
Thinking of this, Jesper's face turned green, and he felt a surge of jealousy.
"If I had that many resources, it might have been enough for me to recover."
He gritted his teeth.
Thinking of Ian made her even more displeased.
But it's okay.
The family has already identified Ian as a serious threat and will find an opportunity to deal with him sooner or later.
Thinking about this.
He felt much better immediately.
Walk to one side.
"What?"
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong on one side, and he turned his head sharply. At the same time, an elemental shield appeared.
Within sight.
A dark figure flashed by.
Then came a sky full of black flames.
"It's a remnant of the Darkfire sorcerer... no, damn it, what kind of flame is this?"
Before Nash could react, the flames had already reached the elemental shield, but to his horror, the shield instantly developed gaps, as if it had been corroded.
It's impossible to stop it.
The black flames, like the smile of a demon, roared and engulfed him, leaving only a corrosive aura on the ground.
And that figure.
Leave quickly.
We returned.
They calmly returned to the fiery pit.
"Ian, you're back."
Not far away.
Gabriel greeted him, and Ian responded with a smile, a change from before.
What was on my mind just now.
He is a man who always seeks revenge, and besides, the Winster family itself seems to have already intended to kill him.
He can't beat Jesper.
But taking down Nash was a piece of cake, something he'd been eyeing for a while. Now that he had the Dark Flame, he made a decisive move.
Consider it collecting interest first.
"The Darkfire itself also has a corrosive aura, and it's quite short-lived. The clues will only flow to undiscovered Crimson Eye wizards."
Ian's eyes flickered.
Very clean.
As for his gains, he has already gained enough, so naturally he won't needlessly increase his own risks.
Continue your peaceful practice.
""
I glanced at the deep red fire pit.
Ian went back in.
Improve your proficiency in the rhythm of starting a fire.
