Divine Flame Crystal
Chapter 194 The Goodwill of the Sunset Empire
Julia lay quietly in Xingluo's arms, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her tightly closed eyes forming a graceful arc on her fair cheeks. The audience instantly fell silent. They had not expected that Xingluo would cast three great magician-level spells at once, and they were space black holes that they had never seen before.
"How is this possible? How can the other party cast the spell so quickly? His attainments in magic arrays must be too high. I haven't even seen him construct the magic array. Yet, he can cast such powerful magic with just a wave of his hand, three at once." A girl exclaimed with her mouth slightly opened.
Everyone else around was in the same mood, but no one was as surprised as the little girl.
There were a few male students in the audience who looked unfriendly towards Xingluo, but they shook their heads with a wry smile in the next moment, as if they had given up on something, and turned to leave. Xingluo naturally had no idea what these little boys were thinking, and continued to hug the weak and boneless Julia. Even though Xingluo knew that these were the boys pursuing Julia, he didn't care, and he had long stopped being jealous of the little boys, not to mention that he didn't have any thoughts about Julia.
He loosened his hands only after the referee announced that Xingluo had won. A gentle wave of magic power was transmitted, allowing Julia to land steadily on the ground. Seeing this scene, the teacher of Sunset Academy nodded slightly.
At the end of the game, Xingluo won again, winning two games in a row, making the students of Sunset Empire not only lose face, but also lose money. At least they can't afford to eat monster meat for a month, and Xingluo's strength has been proven again. There was a torrential applause from the audience, and the students of Sunset Academy have completely recognized Xingluo.
"Haha, luckily I defeated Teacher Xingluo. I gained a lot this time."
"You, a traitor, actually oppressed people from other academies."
"So what? They just came here and taught us the star formation diagram and helped us decipher the formation diagram of the Great Magic Era. They didn't treat us as outsiders. What else can we say?"
"Yes, I also bet on Xingluo, but I only bet on one game, so it was a small profit."
"Teacher Xingluo, I don't quite understand this formation diagram. Can I come to your dormitory tonight?" A female student with a good figure came up to Xingluo.
But just as he finished speaking, he was pushed aside by Silvester and the other man who came over. "Teacher Xingluo has agreed to give us a lecture. If you have any questions, you can ask us!"
At this time, many boys came over and wanted to ask Xingluo some questions, especially about the application of star formation diagrams in combat. The dean and vice-dean looked at this scene, smiled and nodded, and left.
Zeus followed behind Xingluo like a loyal guard, without saying a word, but his face seemed a little gloomy. Those who still wanted to challenge Xingluo were a little daunted when they saw Zeus. Even such a powerful knight as Zeus had become Xingluo's thugs, so those who were not as good as Zeus had to think twice.
"Zeus, do you feel a little frustrated about your defeat? But have you ever thought that in the future, those who want to kill you will use means a hundred times or a thousand times more terrifying to target you and your weaknesses? Since you have exposed this weakness, you should change yourself, even if it is just using magic equipment to make up for it. I have a bold idea in this regard. When you are done with this busy period, you can come with me to the alchemist laboratory." Xingluo said as he glanced at the depressed Zeus.
When Zeus heard this, he immediately became excited. For someone like him, it was enough to improve his strength, make a little progress every day, and surpass himself yesterday. He was such a person. "It seems that it would be nice to follow this guy." Zeus thought.
Julia, who was in a coma, also had a private bet with Xingluo. After all, Xingluo would not accept the challenge in vain. He would still eat the meat that was delivered to his mouth. As for what the bet was, only the two of them knew.
Xingluo put away the rations that he had won. As they watched Xingluo going away, they all admired him more and more. This was an era where the strong were respected, and they would only respect the strong who were good to them. Naturally, these students who had not yet graduated from the academy flocked to him. They had completely regarded Xingluo as a teacher of Sunset Academy.
As for those who were still unwilling to accept the outcome, their resentment disappeared with the defeat of the two powerful men they respected in the academy. They had previously been resentful of Xingluo because of the academy competition, but after seeing Xingluo defeat Zeus and Julia fairly and squarely by himself, all they had left was respect. This was the treatment that a strong man should enjoy.
When someone is just slightly better than you, you may feel jealous or even resentful, but when someone is much better than you, that jealousy will have long disappeared.
Xingluo's victory also attracted the attention of several major families in the Sunset Empire. After all, Sunset College was the best college in the Sunset Empire, and all the children of the top forces would come here to study. Sunset College not only had geniuses, but also some children of families with a lot of money and power rooted in the Sunset Empire came here to study. Of course, the latter needed to provide various financial and policy support to the college.
This is an era where the poor rely on mutation. As long as your magic and fighting spirit attributes mutate, you are a genius. Even if your elemental affinity is not high, you can still enter Sunset Academy. Students with the remaining five attributes are basically nobles, or at least their families are big nobles and big businessmen.
Xingluo just couldn't stand this, so he wanted to change this alien continent. He started with those high-level professionals who disregarded human life, and then he would change the world step by step.
Several major families of Sunset Academy extended olive branches to Xingluo on the same day, and a marquis even promised to give him a title. Of course, it was a title of the Sunset Empire. It would be much more convenient with a title. Xingluo did not refuse immediately. He had not shown more. In order to get better, he needed to further reveal himself.
Having just arrived at this academy, he feels that this is just right. As for the rest, he needs to proceed step by step. After all, if he shows too much strength at once and exceeds the limit they can control, it will become dangerous, and the olive branch will become a sword, piercing the throats of the enemies who threaten these big families.
Moreover, many of his cards are not convenient to put on the table, such as his identity as Bloody Hand, time magic, the light magic of the angel puppet, the boss behind the Flame Hammer, the leader of the Sky City Mercenary Group, etc. He has to consider which ones he can use unscrupulously and which identities need to be further hidden.
After all, he is not yet strong enough to fight against several major forces alone. He needs to work his way up slowly and gradually become a real big shot on this continent, while also making his own strength among the strong.
Although Xingluo rejected the invitations from the powerful people of the Sunset Empire, he still accepted the gifts. Although they were not very expensive, they were better than nothing. It was not that Xingluo was greedy for money. If he did not accept these gifts, the other party would think that you looked down on him, or even regard Xingluo as a potential enemy. So Xingluo had to "reluctantly" accept them all. Although the gifts were not particularly expensive, there were too many people giving them, which resulted in the value of these gifts exceeding the magic cores he won after winning two games.
These are the goodwill from the Sunset Empire and the recognition of Xingshi's strength. As long as a person has the ability, he will be respected by others regardless of whether he has a background or not.
Xingluo couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of these nobles. A gift for a meeting was worth dozens of high-level magic cores, and even a large family would give out gifts worth hundreds of high-level magic cores. Fortunately, the magic cores contained the resentment of the monsters before their death, which resulted in few people daring to absorb them directly. In addition, a contract was signed with the core area of the Monster Forest, which prevented the monsters in the Monster Forest from being killed in large numbers.
Currently, magic cores can only be embedded in magic equipment and circulated as currency. Most of the magic cores on the market have changed hands countless times. As for those crazy people who ignore their magic power and forcibly absorb magic cores, they are a minority after all.
When Xiao Hei saw so many magic cores being put into the storage space, he was so happy that all the fatigue caused by the long flight disappeared. He picked out a few magic cores of better quality and started to eat them.
The dragons have no qualms about the magic cores that humans cannot absorb directly, but the magic cores absorbed by the monsters will not be wasted. If they die in the end, the energy will still exist in the magic cores.
This was the conclusion reached by a famous theoretical alchemist back then. It was called the law of conservation of energy of magic beasts or something like that. Xingluo could not quite remember it. This theoretical master said that if a magic beast absorbed a magic core, then a magic core would appear after the beast's death, because the resentment was transferred into the beast's body along with the magic core. However, for the magic beast, this resentment was really insignificant, and their huge bodies could accommodate more resentment. As for what resentment was, it was said that the alchemists of the great magic era had studied it, but the information has been lost. If a magic beast did not absorb a magic core in its lifetime and generated a large amount of resentment when it died, then the beast would also produce a magic core. Xingluo had known this for a long time.
This is also one of the reasons why the Warcraft Forest and humans signed a contract, prohibiting the wanton slaughter of Warcraft, especially letting Warcraft die in pain. However, most Warcraft have absorbed magic cores, so basically they will produce magic cores. The production of magic cores was also a project that alchemists had been studying during the Great Magic Age. It seemed that progress had been made at that time, but something happened suddenly, resulting in a technological gap, and many magic researches were stranded. However, Sunset Academy has been committed to obtaining these technologies to allow magicians to regain their former glory.
After eating the magic core, Xiao Hei went to sleep again. Xingluo couldn't help but sigh that dragons are really a sleepy race, it seems that they spend most of their time sleeping, but for the dragon clan, sleep is the best practice, because they can better absorb the inheritance hidden in the blood, some dragon language magic is also learned by sleeping. Some dragons have become world powers in the blink of an eye, which makes Xingluo envious. He hopes to become a dragon that can sleep all the time when he travels through time again, but Xingluo is just thinking about it, after all, becoming a dragon will reduce a lot of fun.
Human desires are sometimes like the temptation of the devil from the abyss, and sometimes they are also the source of happiness. The difference lies in whether you are addicted to desires and cannot extricate yourself, or you use it as a means of relaxation after a busy schedule. If you grasp the right degree, you will get twice the result with half the effort and gain more in life.
