Chapter 36: Chapter 18 - The Green Peacock and the Reckless Knight_2
A distance of several kilometers separated him, making it impossible to clearly see Zi Tianwu and Hai Jifeng, the two top-level experts in the far distance.
But in the next moment, a huge roar echoed among the mountains, followed by a terrifying sound wave accompanied by blue and golden lights blossoming in the distance.
Long Dangdang watched in shock as the mountain peak where he had been standing crumbled. The entire sky had turned blue and gold.
The air suddenly became chilly, a strong mountain wind blowing against his body forcing him to lay on his stomach. The sky seemed to be pressing down with an immense invisible force, causing the entire world to tremble.
He trying lifting his head to look and saw the sky, where blue and gold were interweaving with occasional black cracks appearing, as if the sky was being torn apart.
At this moment, his heart was filled with awe. Only now did he understand that he was not even qualified to watch such a level of conflict. Was this the power of 9th Rank experts?
The collision of the two sides lasted for a full half hour, causing three mountain peaks to crumble. The trembling that seemed like the might of the heavens and the earth was like a great horror between the heavens and earth, shaking the entire world as if it were about to collapse.
Finally, the pressure in the sky gradually dispersed. Blue skies as clean as if they had been washed. Indeed, they were truly washed, now as clear as sky-blue gemstones, and even the sunlight had become more blinding and hot.
Two figures descended from the sky, landing on either side of Long Dangdang.
Long Dangdang hurriedly rose to his feet.
Upon closer inspection, Hai Jifeng, who had an elegant and handsome appearance, had multiple tears in his clothes, with traces of blood visible in some places. Yet, Zi Tianwu appeared as if all was normal, still standing with his hands behind his back, arrogant as always.
Hai Jifeng lightly said, "You'll have him on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays will be mine. During the upcoming Knights Temple internal competition, he will need to represent me as my disciple. Let Na Ye cultivate him on Sundays. That's it. Today is Wednesday, he's yours, I'll take over tomorrow." After speaking, he nodded at Long Dangdang and his body turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Zi Tianwu's hands behind his back were shaking non-stop, but his face was displaying a proud smile, "There, you see? Us mages are stronger. This brute was ultimately driven away by me. However, I do believe it would a bit of a waste not to use your innate inner spiritual power. So I'll allow him to give you some guidance every week. Remember, though, magic is your foundation."
With a "thump", Long Dangdang knelt on the ground and knocked his head in respect three times to Zi Tianwu, "Disciple Long Dangdang, greets Teacher."
Zi Tianwu was overjoyed. He attempted to extend his arm to lift him up, but his hands were shaking too violently to control. So instead, a wind element rose under his feet, lifting Long Dangdang up.
"Good, good, good. From now on, you are my, Zi Tianwu's, disciple. Ha ha ha. I will certainly let you feel what the world of genius is like."
Accepting a teacher carried no mental pressure for Long Dangdang, after all, this was a Magic Demigod, a 9th Rank Magic Demigod.
Zi Tianwu said, "Come, sit down. Before I officially start teaching you, let's have a chat. I'll help you build a correct concept of magic." As he spoke, he sat down first, quietly taking a deep breath to suppress the feeling of weakness in his mental spirit ocean.
Once he sat down, Long Dangdang took a seat opposite him.
Zi Tianwu continued, "That guy just now is called Hai Jifeng, also known as Reckless Knight. He ranks eighth among the top nine divine knights in the Knights Temple, with Cowardly Knight Na Ye being the last. These two are considered the two oddities in the Knights Temple. One is exceptionally cowardly, always reluctant to take action, and the other is recklessly crazy, going all-out when he fights."
"In terms of power, Hai Jifeng is slightly inferior to me. However, even more powerful 9th Rank professionists are unwilling to fight him. He is too crazy, and once he starts moving, he becomes too impulsive, choosing to fight to the death at any cost. Because of this, he has been punished many times by the Knights Temple, but no matter what, he refuses to change. He practices as a punisher knight, and if not for his youth, he would certainly rank higher. So, it's okay for you to learn from him. But don't pick up his temperament. Going recklessly is really bad."
"As for me, I am thirty-nine years old this year and was promoted to Magic Demigod at the age of thirty-six. I am the youngest Magic Demigod in our Magic Temple. That guy looks young, but he is already in his forties. In terms of talent, he is not as good as me. I have an innate magic spiritual power of eighty-six and was once one of the most outstanding prodigies in the Magic Temple."
Long Dangdang gasped in awe, a thirty-six-year-old Magic Demigod, and moreover, his teacher's innate magic spiritual power was even higher than his own.
Zi Tianwu continued, "I mainly practice wind specialty magic and also practice fire and thunder specialties. During my sparring with Hai Jifeng just now, we actually didn't use our full power. We didn't use weapons or equipment and restrained ourselves, or else this mountain range would probably cease to exist. I looked at your talent, and actually your talent is not just in strong innate magic spiritual power. Eighty-four isn't weak, but it is a little bit away from the prodigies with over ninety. Your advantage lies in the number of elements accepting you is sufficient. It is very rare to reach the level of elements benediction in seven attributes."
Long Dangdang asked, "Teacher, when I used to listen to Teacher Si Yu's lectures, I learned that cultivating a single element alone makes it easier to become a formidable expert, and I should specialize in one. But why do you say that being favored by multiple elements is an advantage?"
Zi Tianwu smiled faintly, "Her level is limited. It's not bad to specialize in a kind of magic, but, once you reach a level above the 7th Rank, if you want to make your magic more powerful, or even exceed your limit to the level of the Forbidden Spell, you need to combine magic. It could be the combination of different modifications of a single type of magic, but the most powerful is the combination of multiple attribute elements. The power of combination magic far exceeds the power of a single element. So, at the level of a Magic Demigod, almost no one specializes in a single type of magic. You are inherently elements-blessed and have received the elements benediction of seven elements, including water and fire and light and dark, both pairs of opposing elements. Although it will be a bit difficult during cultivation, if you can complete the combination of these different attribute elements in the future, then your magic power will certainly be unrivaled. It was this that made me want to take you as a disciple, in hopes that you can catch up with me in the future."
"I have reached an agreement with Hai Jifeng. You will belong to the Magic Temple in the future. But you will also be considered his personal disciple. You will study with both of us and you must be prepared to put in extra effort. As for the matter of being a knight, you can learn it casually. The mysteries of our mages are what you need to put more effort into."
"Okay." At this time, Long Dangdang's heart was still echoing with the awe-inspiring power of the two great experts' clash, sparking a fire of ambition within him. Oh, how wonderful it would be if one day he could have such power! Right now, he didn't have a clear objective, he just simply believed that becoming a top expert would be an excellent thing.
