Chapter 822: Chapter 822: Counterattack Fire Magic
Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute were the intrinsic attributes of the Jiu Xi Royal Family, and the magic of these two attributes was particularly powerful.
It was precisely because the Jiu Xi Royal Family possessed two types of magic with enormous destructive power as their intrinsic attributes, that they were able to firmly rule the Demon Sacred Realm, with other families struggling to compete.
Among the students this year, there were none from the Jiu Xi Royal Family, much to the relief of many, who were glad not to be overshadowed by some prodigy.
Qin Sisi had performed very poorly until now; nobody took her seriously, and nearly everyone thought she was there just because of some special relationship, trying to fill a role she wasn’t fit for.
However, at this moment, Teacher Huohuan’s words immediately overturned everyone’s perceptions; Qin Sisi actually possessed an extremely excellent talent for Fire magic, much stronger than any of them, leading many to regard her with new respect.
Of course, there were those who were reluctant to accept this outcome, with Ya Ling being the most unwilling. She had always believed that she could thoroughly outperform Qin Sisi in every aspect, whether it was looks, background, or Magic Level.
Although her performance had also not been ideal, she saw that as merely an accident, and was convinced that Qin Sisi had no business comparing herself to her.
Now that Teacher Huohuan had affirmed Qin Sisi’s talent for Fire magic in front of everyone, it meant that Qin Sisi truly surpassed her in the domain of Fire magic, not only her but everyone in the class.
This situation was something Ya Ling found difficult to accept, and it left her deeply resentful, causing her mental state to destabilize and her magic power output to be affected; the flame in her palm flickered uncertainly.
Teacher Huohuan immediately noticed Ya Ling’s abnormality and sternly shouted, "Ya Ling, focus!"
Startled, Ya Ling quickly composed herself and stabilized the flickering flame, thinking to herself, "That was close."
Teacher Huohuan’s reminder brought Ya Ling back from the brink of a grave error, but after overcoming this crisis, she didn’t feel grateful to Teacher Huohuan. Instead, she was somewhat resentful of his loud scolding.
Being disciplined in front of all her classmates made her feel humiliated.
Hearing from Teacher Huohuan that she had a great talent for Fire magic, Qin Sisi was very happy. She knew that Ye You was best at Fire magic, and being consistent with Ye You naturally made her joyful.
Moreover, Teacher Huohuan asking her to start stewing the second pot of meat indicated that she had successfully stewed the first pot while everyone else was still struggling with theirs, which meant she was in first place for this Fire magic lesson.
This result brought even more pleasure to Qin Sisi, and with a radiant smile on her face, she ignited a flame in her palm and began stewing the second pot of meat.
This time, Teacher Huohuan watched Qin Sisi’s flame very carefully. At first glance, it seemed no different from an ordinary flame.
But after watching for a while, Teacher Huohuan noticed that the flame Qin Sisi conjured was a bit brighter than a normal flame and faintly radiated a golden hue.
This observation made him recall a legend from long ago, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Two hours later, the second pot of Flame Kite meat had also been stewed soft by Qin Sisi.
Teacher Huohuan nodded in approval and said to Qin Sisi, "Very good, this pot of meat is yours, put it in your storage ring and take it home!"
Qin Sisi hesitated and said, "That’s too much; it would be wasteful as I can’t finish it all. Just a little would be fine."
Teacher Huohuan waved his hand and said, "Don’t you know? A storage ring’s space has a preservation function. It won’t spoil anyway, so just keep it and eat it slowly!"
Realizing that the storage ring had such a miraculous feature, Qin Sisi decided not to be shy about accepting.
She lightly placed her hand on the edge of the iron pot, and with a thought, the entire pot of Flame Kite meat was stored inside her storage ring.
Thinking of how this food could enhance her Fire magic, Qin Sisi gratefully said to Teacher Huohuan, "Thank you, Teacher Huohuan."
Teacher Huohuan smiled faintly, "No need for thanks, this is the fruit of your labor. You may leave class now."
Qin Sisi nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Meng, who was almost done with her first pot of meat.
Xiao Meng, understanding Qin Sisi’s intent, said, "Sister Sisi, it’s going to take me a long time; you don’t need to wait for me."
After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Yun Cheng.
Seeing that the meat in Yun Cheng’s iron pot was about the same as Xiao Meng’s, and with Yun Cheng there to accompany Xiao Meng, Qin Sisi saw no need to hang around as the third wheel.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Meng and Teacher Huohuan, Qin Sisi left Flame Mountain and headed straight for the trial tower on Tiandan Mountain.
Outside the trial tower, she took a few bites of the stewed Flame Kite meat to fill her belly.
Really, Teacher Huohuan hadn’t lied—the meat of the Flame Kite was indeed delicious. Even after being stewed soft, it remained chewy, a rare delicacy indeed.
Having satisfied the Five Visceral Temple, Qin Sisi paid a Middle-grade Spirit Stone and entered the first floor of the trial tower to continue practicing Vigor Gold Knife.
Because among the four familiar magics she had learned before, she felt that her Gold Attribute Magic was the weakest, so she needed to practice it more.
Practice makes perfect, and this time she felt much smoother than before, gaining some new insights into the Gold Attribute Magic.
After the practice session, Qin Sisi received a reward of three Low-grade Spirit Stones on the twelfth floor of the tower. Although it was still very little, as long as there was progress, Qin Sisi felt her efforts were not in vain.
Unfortunately, the trial tower only allowed five continuous hours of practice, followed by a two-hour break before one could re-enter, to allow practitioners to recuperate.
Qin Sisi didn’t want to waste two hours, so with the Flame Kite meat in the storage ring still warm, she ate a few more pieces, rested for half an hour, and then returned to Tianyue Mountain, entering the practice hall behind the Tianyue Mountain dormitory.
The practice hall only required a payment of one Low-grade Spirit Stone and also allowed for five continuous hours of practice. However, it lacked the realistic trial scenarios of the trial tower, instead, it was a large hall with mirrors on all sides.
The mirrors inside were the same as those in the magic classrooms used for lessons. Practicing magic skills in front of the mirror, the goal was to kill one’s reflection.
Such practice could only improve one’s proficiency in controlling magic skills. To enhance power and assess one’s Magic Level, the trial tower was a much better option.
However, in special circumstances, Qin Sisi couldn’t be too picky. She felt that what she lacked most was time, so she seized every second for practice.
Though the effect wasn’t as ideal as the trial tower, after a long time of practice, Qin Sisi could feel her Bursting Water Bullets skill becoming much more proficient.
Initially, she couldn’t always kill her reflection in the mirror, with a success rate of only fifty percent. By the time the five-hour practice session was almost over, her success rate had increased to over eighty percent.
