The most terrifying part was, after successfully completing his research, Nian Bing started pondering over the unique characteristics of fire and ice that Long Zhi had mentioned earlier. Just like when cooking food one should bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients, fire and ice co-origin magic also needs to fully manifest the essence of fire and ice; only then can the true power of fire and ice from the same origin be unleashed.
Mao Mao's father, Hilard, had also given a similar suggestion to Nian Bing. Heeded by Hilard's advice, Nian Bing no longer pursued Archmage and instead aimed to develop little magic. By starting from small-scale efforts and fully unleashing the power of fire and ice co-origin into his small magic, only then could he let loose a more considerable power of the Archmage. Therefore, he had spent these days not using fire and ice co-origin for cultivation but separately practicing one type of magic, fully grasping their characteristics.
