Chapter 361: Changes

“Roar!”

A low, sonorous roar issued from the throat.

At this moment, Lynn had transformed into a red dragon with four claws on its belly, scales all over its body, and flames coiling around it.

Third Circle!

A Fire Dragon!

Accompanying the sound, an invisible aura spread out, covering the surroundings, and fire elements gathered frantically.

At this moment, with a thought from Lynn, he could summon flames that incinerated everything, and he could also easily cast various fire-based wizard spells.

This is…

The Power of Laws!

And the range of his power’s influence was called a domain, an ability that only third-circle wizards possessed.

“After a hundred years of arduous cultivation and consuming many resources, I have finally advanced to the third circle as I wished, but the inheritance of the Great Flame Wizard Bloodline ends here.”

Flicking his dragon tail, Lynn looked at his original body, who was still deep in thought with his eyes closed:

“I wonder how the original body’s harvest is?”

Unlike him.

The time consumed by the original body, Karl, was several times his; his hundred years was equivalent to four or five hundred years for the original body.

The four or five hundred years were not used for cultivation, but were used to consume source essence and mental power to deduce techniques.

As a split divine thought, the original body could sense everything about him, while he was relatively vague about the original body.

He could only vaguely sense that there was some gain.

“It’s done!”

Just at that moment, Karl opened his eyes, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for ten thousand years.

“Unexpectedly, I finally found a path from the method of developing followers of the Dragon Blight. I almost wasted hundreds of years.”

“Go!”

With a flick of his finger, a ray of light shot straight into Lynn’s sea of consciousness, transforming into a complex and profound technique.

“This technique is based on the Great Flame Wizard Bloodline, and it integrates bloodline magic, evil god techniques, as well as the Three Plates Technique, the Heart of Flame…”

“Its quality is as high as the sixth order, and I call it the Blazing Sun Technique!”

At this moment, Lynn could no longer hear the original body’s voice; all his energy was drawn to the technique.

As an improved version of the Great Flame Wizard Bloodline, the Blazing Sun Technique completely made up for all the flaws of the original technique.

Slow progress?

On the basis of the bloodline, a method of cultivation with the aid of flames was added, so even if one cultivated normally, it would not be slower than other inheritances.

If one could refine high-order flames and advance to a higher bloodline, then the cultivation speed would be rapid.

Low potential?

The Three Plates Technique, which originated from an unknown world, did not require devouring other living beings; one could improve one’s bloodline through cultivation. The improved Blazing Sun Technique absorbed the essence, and as long as one focused on cultivation, the bloodline could be purified and advanced. Theoretically, its potential was limitless.

Weak in combat?

The blessings of the Heart of Flame and bloodline magic made the Blazing Sun Technique suitable for both close combat and long-range attacks, and it was especially good at fighting with others.

It was simply perfect!

“Hmm…” Lynn’s consciousness withdrew from the sea of consciousness, his eyes flickering:

“I can’t refine divine fire?”

“That’s right.” Karl nodded:

“This is the Kalim Continent. Once you refine divine fire and are discovered, you will definitely be expelled by the wizards…”

“Expulsion would be considered good; most likely, you would be killed on the spot. Fortunately, besides divine fire, there are other high-order flames. Even without high-order flames, it wouldn’t be a problem for you to cultivate to the fourth circle at your current age.”

Lynn understood and then asked:

“What about you?”

“In the world where I am, outer gods are about to descend. If I want to resist them, I must become a high deity at the very least,” Karl replied:

“I am only a lower deity now. Fortunately, I have already found my own path, so there is still a glimmer of hope.”

“Also…”

“Changes have also occurred in the Eastern Kingdom Continent. The final guidance of fate lies in that place.”

The Eastern Kingdom Continent?

Lynn was puzzled.

“You don’t need to worry about it,” Karl continued:

“You have a month to stabilize your cultivation. I will help you adjust the time span, so that your cultivation can advance to the mid third circle. This way, even if you face Aksha, the dean of the Viper Academy, you will have a fighting chance.”

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, readjusting the flow of time in the space where Lynn was.

As for himself.

He flipped his hand, and a ball of divine fire appeared in his palm.

Fire God!

“Snap!”

A phantom of a Buddha appeared behind him, the Buddha’s hands clasped together, holding the divine fire, and began to try to refine it.

Lynn was the God of War.

He could kill anything with divinity to strengthen himself, and divine fire theoretically possessed divinity.

In addition, with the Blazing Sun Technique, many difficulties were resolved, and the many divine fires that had been collected finally came in handy.

“Refine!”

The number on the light screen in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.

Source Essence: 199

The next moment.

Source Essence: 200

At the same time.

The lower deity in the cultivation realm column flickered several times before quietly changing to middle deity.

And this was just the beginning.

After the gods fell in that world, divine fire scattered throughout the world, and Karl had been collecting it all these years.

Since divine fire could increase his strength, he could completely use the power of the gods to reach the peak.

The white flying boat arrived at the break.

Lynn had been waiting there for a long time, and the vigorous vitality on his body already showed that his cultivation had gone smoothly.

“Second Circle!”

Gear Jack paused on Lynn, then slowly nodded:

“Not bad.”

“How much time did you spend?”

“A hundred years,” Lynn said:

“Some was used for the breakthrough, and some was used to stabilize my cultivation. Fortunately, after advancing to the second circle, I have five hundred years of life.”

“A hundred years?” Gear Jack shook his head:

“It’s a bit too much, but you are young, so it doesn’t matter. If you work hard, you might have a chance to become a third-circle wizard.”

Of course,

he was just saying that casually. In the hundreds of years since the Viper Academy was established, only one third-circle wizard had emerged besides the dean, and that one had died young. Saying this to a wizard who had just advanced to the second circle was just to bring good luck.

“Let’s go!”

◈◈◈

“Charlotte and Nicole have also come out of seclusion.”

“Oh!” Lynn raised his eyebrows:

“How are they?”

“Very good,” Gear Jack said with a faint smile:

“All three of you have successfully broken through. This situation is rare. In previous years, there were more cases of failed breakthroughs.”

“Many more even died directly in the stone houses due to exhaustion of their lifespans.”

Hmm?

Lynn slowly nodded.

The flying boat arrived at the platform occupied by the academy. After calling out the two others who had also successfully broken through, the group boarded the flying boat again and headed toward the second circle.

On the way,

the three of them could not help but share the joy of their successful breakthroughs. Even Charlotte, who was always calm, was radiant with joy.

Second-circle wizards!

Not to mention the increase in strength, their lifespans were at least five hundred years.

The flying boat shuttled through the void. As the distance to the Titan’s Core decreased, the energy fluctuations became more and more obvious.

‘No wonder the Viper Academy only has one third-circle wizard, yet it can firmly establish itself here. As long as they slightly borrow the power of the Titan’s Core, even if a fourth-circle wizard comes here, they would probably have to kneel.’

‘Aksha has spent hundreds of years studying the Titan’s Core, so he must have grasped some of its power.’

“We’re here!”

While he was pondering,

the flying boat had already arrived at the middle circle. Gear Jack led the three of them to a large hall, which was also the core of the Viper Academy.

There were several second-circle wizards in the hall. Their portraits were all hanging in the academy, so even if they had not seen the real people, they could recognize them.

Sitting in the main seat was a short, thin old man with a white beard. He was the founder of the academy, Aksha.

This person rarely appeared outside, so this was the first time Lynn had seen him.

“Mentor!”

Charlotte bowed.

“Dean!”

Lynn and Nicole stepped forward in turn.

“Good!”

“Good!”

Aksha smiled and waved at Charlotte:

“Come here.”

“Yes,” Charlotte responded and went to Aksha’s side, quietly recounting her experience during this seclusion.

“Borrowing the power of the Titan’s Core to break through the realm has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can increase the chances of a breakthrough, while the disadvantage is that it consumes lifespan and squeezes potential,” Aksha said slowly:

“Therefore, the less lifespan you consume, the better your future prospects will be. It is already not bad that you were able to break through in forty years.”

“Nicole’s sixty years is also acceptable.”

“As for Lynn…”

He smiled:

“No matter where you go in the future, you must remember that the Viper Academy is your home, and you can always come back if you need anything.”

“Yes,” Lynn said, bowing his head:

“I will never forget the dean’s guidance.”

Charlotte and Nicole looked surprised; they did not know that Lynn had already climbed onto the high branch of the Luo Er Family.

However, the dean’s aloof attitude was obvious.

“It’s nothing,”

Aksha waved his hand:

“The academy’s role in your success today is not significant.”

After saying a few casual words, he turned around and asked:

“Nicole, I heard you have something to tell me?”

“Yes,” Nicole responded and nodded:

“Regarding the Titan’s Core, the Beastman Clan once had records, and they also left behind something.”

He took out a wooden box from his space equipment, gently opened it, revealing a book inside.

“Dean.”

“I hope to be able to get close to the Titan’s Core.”

“…” Aksha’s smile faded, and he raised his hand to take the wooden box. A spiritual light swept over the book.

After confirming that there was no problem, he slowly opened it.

“Puff!”

Suddenly.

A puff of white smoke emerged from the wooden box.

Nicole, who had been respectful, suddenly revealed a murderous intent. His figure flashed and appeared in front of Aksha.

In his hand was a sharp spike.

Third-Circle Wizard Spell—Spatial Leap!

And it was instantaneous!

“Not good!”

“Mentor, be careful!”

“…”

A clamor arose in the hall.

The change happened too quickly, and even with the powerful perception of wizards, they could not react in time.

The only one who could make a move was Aksha. He raised one hand to block Nicole’s assassination, and he also subconsciously activated the formation in the hall.

As long as he was within the formation, even if a fourth-circle wizard came, he would be invincible.

“Puff!”

Suddenly.

A sharp spike pierced his waist, causing Aksha’s movements to freeze in place.

“Charlotte!”

“Sorry,” Charlotte said with an icy expression:

“Mentor, I had no choice.”
