After reading the document, Chongyang finally understood what the so-called "heavy price" meant.

To participate in such a once-in-a-century conference and compete for a place is indeed a heavy thing.

If he does, Lord Cranred will be reinstated as Headmaster. With him back in charge of Presland, he naturally won't do anything. But if he can't, he will have to suffer the consequences of Sarson's incident.

Chongyang thought deeply, and suddenly noticed the black space ring in his hand.

It is a very convenient ring for moving.

This is a subtle hint, and it is Cranred's last retreat for Chongyang: if you think you can't do it, then use this ring and leave the country with everything you and your family can take with you!

The cold and stern old man, with an incomparably deep trace of warmth, was finally pinned on this valuable space ring.

Life is your own.

It's up to you to fight for your destiny.

Dignity is not given by others.

Chongyang looked up to the sky and sighed, and in his mind, it flashed back to the autumn six years ago.

Nothing has changed until now.

Will I be able to escape?

I chose to stay in the academy at the beginning, and today, I still choose to meet the challenge! Even if I die on the battlefield!

In Chongyang's eyes, it seemed to be burning with raging flames, bursting out with an incomparably sharp light.

"Dean, I pushed you off the stage, then, I will send you back to your position again. Only you are qualified to be the leader of Prisland. Chongyang said resolutely in his heart.

"Firefiend!"

Fire elemental spirits appear beneath the ceiling.

According to this document, there are still ten months to go from the conference publicity, the auditions, to the Imperial Finals. I need to be promoted to at least the realm level within ten months before I can gain a firm foothold among the countless Three Kingdoms Elites!" Chongyang looked at the Flame Demon and said.

"As long as I win, I can obtain the Heavenly Elixir, and my cultivation progress will be doubled. At the same time, new types of fire-based magic are sure to be greatly promoted...... In short, I want to win! I must win! If there is anything you can do to help me improve, just say it! No matter how hard it is, I will do it!"

"Please, master!"

Chongyang is sincere, sincere, and serious to the Yan Demon. The fists were clenched tightly, revealing a great desire in the heart.

The Flame Demon stared at Chongyang quietly, looking into the eyes of his only disciple, remembering the first moment......

A pair of eyes that are burning with flames.

The Firedemon laughed hoarsely.

"From level 6 to domain level in ten months, it's not that there is no way. Just get out of here and go to a place in the west. ”

"Where!?"

"Phoenix Mountain, Fire Valley. ”

......

It's snowing.

Almost overnight, heavy snowflakes covered the entire city, blank in snow.

The first snow of this winter came so abruptly that the people in the pampered imperial capital felt a little uncomfortable.

Helen woke up in the morning, opened the window, and shivered with the cold wind that suddenly poured into the house. She hurriedly closed the window again, added clothes to herself, and then slowly paced into the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast for the day.

Toast, cheese sauce, milk, eggs...... A nutritious home-cooked meal, Helen hummed the tune of the piano and brought it to the dining table, turned on the heating in the dining room, and enjoyed her usual breakfast while watching the snow outside the window.

"It's suddenly so cold, I wonder if Mr. Chongyang has dressed properly?" Helen muttered unconsciously.

"Uh...... Thinking of him again, I ...... unconsciously" The face was a little flushed, and Helen smiled slightly. She likes that person, and she already needs to face it calmly. But what did the man think about herself? Helen didn't quite understand. He is very good to himself, but he is always very slow in the face of his own hints.

A little depressed, he's a beauty anyway, why doesn't he take the initiative, fool.

I can't figure out the attitude of my sweetheart, and a woman will always have a little resentment in her heart. But this kind of thing can't be rushed. After all, I haven't known him for long, so let's get along slowly.

This is Helen, the Ninth Division of the Scroll Division, a little woman who is a little outstanding compared to women of the same age, but not too good.

After breakfast, put on the clothes I picked out yesterday, dress up a little carefully, show a smile to myself in the mirror, and then go out happily as usual-

Black robe, black hair, black eyes.

"Miss Helen......" Chongyang, who was about to ring the doorbell, was slightly startled by the beautiful woman who suddenly opened the door.

"Mr. Chongyang, why are you here?" Helen was even more startled and surprised than him.

"Well, actually, some things ......" Chongyang frowned, his eyes becoming deep.

Looking at his expression, out of a woman's intuition, Helen suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It's cold outside, let's come in first and have a drink—" She instinctively wanted to interrupt the man's statement.

"No, Miss Helen, I am in a hurry, and before I leave, I have come to say goodbye to you. Chongyang waved his hand and said.

"Huh?" Helen's body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across her face.

Farewell?

"For something, I have to leave the Magic Society right now. I have resigned from the post of Grand Secretary, and I recommend that you take over. Then I came to thank you for taking care of you these days. Although the time is short, I have a great time with you as a friend. Chongyang will try to say the words he has thought out in advance.

"Actually...... I'm somewhat aware of your mind. But it's a pity...... I don't have that condition myself. When it came to the most difficult part, Chongyang's expression and tone were stiff, "It's because I'm not qualified enough, I'm not a very good man, I don't know how to be a man, I don't know how to get along with people......"

"All in all, thank you very much for this time. And then, excuse me...... Bye. Chongyang bowed his head slightly, turned around, and left without looking back.

"Mr. Chongyang!" Helen came back to her senses and shouted at the dark and heavy back, trying to catch up, but she felt that her feet seemed to be numb, and she couldn't move.

The figure of the black-haired young man walked faster and faster among the snowflakes, leaving a long and lonely footprint on the pure white and flawless snow, and finally disappeared into the wind and snow.

Traces, slowly covered by pure snow.

Helen stared blankly, and suddenly seemed to lose all her strength, and suddenly her knees softened, and she fell to the ground.

Crystal teardrops, gently falling, condensed into crystal beads in the snow.

......

After bringing everything he needed, talking to Elder Richard, and saying goodbye to Miss Helen, Chongyang immediately set out to head to the Phoenix Mountain that the Flame Demon had spoken.

Phoenix Mountain, is a wild and dangerous place in the west of the mainland, according to Chongyang's cognition, it is an extinct volcano that has not erupted for a long time, and it is named after the legend that this mountain has a phoenix to inhabit.

Phoenix Mountain is famous. It is said that the adventurers who went deep into the Phoenix Mountain, no one could come back alive. Over time, it became a place of adventure. Only extremely bold outlaws dare to seek some spiritual treasures in the outer realm of Phoenix Mountain.

According to the Fire Demon, the legend is true, the phoenix that has never been testified about by an adventurer does exist, and it is not an ordinary phoenix, but an "ancestral phoenix"!

The Ancestor Phoenix is the most powerful and noblest of the Phoenix clan, equivalent to the royal family of human beings. But unlike the social relations of human beings, the dignity of the Ancestor Phoenix is natural, because they are pure beings created by heaven and earth. It was not bred by any living being, but by the creator of the underworld, and thus the original phoenix, which bears the name of "ancestor".

"The reason why that Ancestor Phoenix has been inhabiting Phoenix Mountain for a long time is because that area is a spiritual land with an extremely strong fire element. And on the other hand, its existence also raised the level of the fire element in that place even more. ”

"After a long period of spiritual cultivation, its strength should be equivalent to a legendary peak powerhouse of the human race in terms of level. However, it is actually strong, and it may be far from being comparable to a few legendary powerhouses. After all, Warcraft, Spirit Beasts, are existences that are very different from humans. ”

"It should be in continuous spiritual practice now, and its own temperament is relatively docile. As for the adventurous rumors such as 'if you go deep into Phoenix Mountain, you will die', it is because there is a magician who has been guarding it since at least 600 years ago, killing almost everyone who comes to it. ”

"Six hundred years ago!?"

"A legendary peak fire mage, he can live with that phoenix for so long, and it is also because of the heaven and earth mystic spirits in that place. To put it simply, Phoenix Mountain is the ultimate treasure for fire magicians. If you cultivate there, you can get twice the result with half the effort. So, if you want to break through to the realm level in just ten months, you have to get there to have a slight possibility. ”

"But the mage ......"

"I have a bit of a friendship with him, and when I went to explore Phoenix Mountain before my death, I fought with him a few times. After becoming an elemental elf, sometimes I went to talk to him because I was bored. For the sake of this face, if you stay there for a few months, he shouldn't be too careful. Of course, you have to be honest, stupid disciple. ”

"I see. ”

......

Since Phoenix Mountain was too far away from the imperial capital, it would take too much time to rush over in a normal way, so Chongyang sold a Blue Smoke Ice Lotus to Elder Richard, received 500,000 amethyst coins, and then spent a huge amount of money of 150,000 amethyst coins to enjoy an imperial capital space teleportation array service.

The teleportation array is located on the territory of the Magic Association, and it costs a lot to use it once, so it is definitely not something that ordinary people can consume, let alone use it on occasions such as large-scale wars. Otherwise, if an army is teleported, then there will be no war, and the country will go bankrupt and perish first.

Chongyang stood in the center of the huge magic array, and the specialized magicians outside cast magic, output magic power, consume precious resources, and activate the teleportation magic array.

The magic circle shimmered with dazzling light, and the delicate lines flowed through the Mithril-like liquid substance, intertwining with each other to form a huge and brilliant pattern. Then, a burst of white light completely enveloped Chongyang.

It feels like entering the legendary world at the beginning, and all perceptions of the outside world have lost their effect in a matter of seconds, and the whole person is in chaos.

Soon, when I opened my eyes again, I saw that the magicians of the Demon Array and the Magic Association were still there, but they had changed to an unfamiliar environment.

"Welcome to Rock Breaker, Honorable Sir. ”
