On the Euro continent, there is a continental billboard that is evaluated every ten years.

Each time, the list lists hundreds of magicians who have made a name for themselves on the continent over the past decade. Among them, there is a new generation of powerhouses, creators of new and powerful magic moves, new potion masters, magic refining masters, and formation masters...... Earning a place on this list is a lifelong desire of almost every magician.

In the past 100 years, there have been ten times on the list, and 1,000 people have been on the list, the wind and earth systems have dominated the majority, the water system and the thunder system have followed, and the fire system has less than 20 people, and only a few people have been on the list.

Since Grandmaster Lin Qi carried forward the dual-system magic of earth and wind, overriding the old principle of traditional history of focusing on pure attack power with a new principle of universality, water magic and thunder magic have also been able to flourish one after another. Only the fire system, which has the worst universality, has almost always stood still. The decline of fire-based magic is already a recognized fact on the mainland.

Then one day, in a narrow and dim alley, an old magician in ragged clothes stopped a little boy who was licking a lollipop, and smiled very kindly: "Little friend, I see that you have a strange skeleton, and you are a magic wizard like no other. The great cause of revitalizing fire-based magic is about to fall on your shoulders, and here are the fire-based secret books......"

......

Even if he didn't look in the mirror, Chongyang knew that the expression on his face must be very strange at this time, and his eyes were full of complicated suspicion.

"I didn't expect you to take it easily, so I didn't show up until this time. The Firedemon let out a terrible smug laugh like a fingernail grinding into glass, "Believe it or not, you can only survive now if you agree to my request." ”

"Really...... I see, for a while, it's you who have been spying on me behind my back......"

"That's right, I'm watching you while I wait for an opportunity to show up and convince you...... I didn't expect the timing to come so quickly. ”

So far, he hasn't died of excessive blood loss, it turns out that it was thanks to this guy? Chongyang didn't think about it for long, and agreed to inherit the so-called "great cause" in the mouth of the Yan Demon.

It doesn't matter what he is, no matter what he wants to do, in short, if you can only live by following his will at the moment, even if it is a demon contract, you can only sign it, and there is no choice.

Immediately, in the piercing laughter of the fire demon, Chongyang's eyes went black and he fainted again.

When he woke up again, there was no trace of the fire demon. Chongyang tried to move, and immediately found that the wounds all over his body had miraculously healed!

He slowly rose from the pool of blood, and carefully stroked his abdomen and thighs with both hands...... I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. But the shocking puddle of blood on the ground, as well as the tattered bloodstained robes on his body, reminded him that nothing had happened before.

“...... What about the corpse?" Chongyang looked around, he could smell the smell of blood and scorching in the dark alley, but he couldn't find the body of the black-robed young man.

"I'll help you dispose of him by the way. Suddenly a hoarse whisper sounded in his ears.

"Flame Demon?" Chongyang Huo Ran turned around.

"Don't look, I'm right around you, in the form of free elements. The Fire Demon said, "After you and I sign the soul contract, I will be able to talk to you in this form without anyone else discovering it. ”

"That's ......" Chongyang carefully inspected the ground of the dark alley, and sure enough, through the faint light, he saw a large area of scorched black on the ground—the remnants of the body of the black-robed young man being completely burned by the fire demon.

If there is nothing left, nothing is happening.

......

............

When Chongyang finally returned to his room tiredly, it was already night.

After leaving the alley, he went to a slum, paid a pauper to dispose of a bloodstained garment, bought new clothes to change, and then returned to the exchange as if nothing had happened, quickly bought all the medicinal materials needed, and then hired a carriage back to the academy.

A poor and poor person with a numb expression, only if he has money, he will do anything, even if it is to cover up for a murderer. From the beginning to the end of the handling of the clothes, Chongyang wrapped his face with torn cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, not letting the poor man see his true face. So, don't worry about what he's going to say in the future.

The only variable left over from this incident was the black-robed girl who had left beforehand—the pretender who had entered the Prisland Academy as a disciple of the School of Magic.

Chongyang didn't know who she was, and he was sure she didn't recognize who she was.

Life doesn't change...... If it weren't for the inexplicable existence of the "Fire Demon".

Putting aside the suitcase containing the medicinal herbs, Chongyang sat on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his temples.

"Come out. ”

As soon as the words fell, a dark red flame suddenly burned in the void in front of him, and a face in the flame twisted slightly as the flames shook.

"What do you want to ask, little one?"

"Fire Demon ......" Chongyang touched his chin, carefully examined the wonderful existence in front of him that claimed to be a fire spirit, and said slowly, "You said that you were once a human being, but when you were a human, who were you?"

"My name has long been forgotten by the world, and I only exist to carry on the great cause. ”

Chongyang frowned slightly.

"Then at least tell me, what level of mage are you?"

"You'll find out later. ”

"Do you need to be so mysterious?" Chongyang said with his hands in front of his chest, a little dissatisfied.

"Not really, it's just that it's not a big deal, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, I'm too lazy to say it. "The fire demon floated faintly in mid-air.

"Alright then, let's talk about the more important issues. Chongyang stood up, walked to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out half a bottle of red wine and a glass beaker with a missing opening, poured himself half a glass, and took a sip with his head up.

"Why do you say that I am the one who can inherit your great cause...... In other words, why do you think that I have the ability to revitalize fire-based magic?" Chongyang felt the heat of the liquor pouring from his throat into his abdomen, looked at the fire demon, and said word by word.

"Because you have the talent to become the strongest magician in the continent!" replied the Fire Demon.

"The strongest magician in the mainland?me?" Chongyang suddenly laughed, and drank the red liquid in the beaker, his mouth full of bitterness, "A waste material that can't be promoted to a fourth-level magician for the rest of his life?"

He slammed the beaker on the table and sneered, "It doesn't get any funnier than that." As he spoke, the hand holding the beaker turned a little white.

The grievances buried deep in my heart are fermented with alcohol.

The eternal third-level magician, a 10,000-year-old repeater, not only suffered a lot of ridicule and insults, but also almost took his life wantonly......

No matter how much you struggle, you are an incomparably weak existence, such a self......

Chongyang crushed the beaker in his hand, the glass shards cut his palm, and the blood slowly flowed onto the desk.

"Is that really possible!?" he shouted, his eyes sparkling with incomparably complex waves.

The flame demon didn't answer immediately, and the faces in the flames quietly looked at Chongyang's distorted face where self-esteem and inferiority were fiercely intertwined.

Although he was very calm along the way, today's attack had a huge impact on Chongyang.

In order to make his existence more valuable, he practiced hard for six years with the belief that he was the best third-level magician, endured humiliation, low-key and diligent, and paid ten times more hard work than other students...... However, the ending is almost like a rat in a nest in an unknown alley.

Strength, after all, is the king of this world. What if a mere third-level magician has learned how to make thousands of scrolls and ten thousand kinds of potions?

The belief that had been underpinned for six years was on the verge of collapse at this moment.

"I can...... Do you want to get stronger?"

In just one sentence, it reveals incomparable sadness. This is Chongyang's questioning of the fire demon, and it is also a questioning of his own fate. In the eyes of the eyes when he said this, hidden under the glittering tears, was a monstrous flame!

"Yes. The Fire Demon replied lightly. His expectations for Chongyang's future have been raised by a layer because of these eyes.

"Explain it to me!" Chongyang's eyes burned.

"Good...... So ......"

The Flame Demon paused, and a calm voice emanated from the raging shadows.

"In the past hundred years, fire magic has been declining day by day, and it has become the lowest status among the five basic magic systems on the continent. But in fact, this is simply the ignorance of the entire continent! Fire magic should be the strongest magic in the world!"

"Every mage in each department says that their own magic is the strongest. Chongyang retorted calmly.

"Don't be so quick to deny it...... If you don't know what the criteria for determining whether a series of magic is powerful or not, you know?" said the Flame Demon.

"There are two aspects, one is power and the other is universality. Chongyang wanted to stretch out two fingers, but as soon as the palm of his hand moved, the wound on his hand hurt heartily.

"Originally, magic was based on power in history, but since Grandmaster Lin Qi, the status of universality has become higher than power. Therefore, although the fire magic attack is powerful, it is too versatile to exist under the feet like the earth system, not around the wind system, not in the lakes and seas like the water system, and not even above the clouds like the thunder system...... There is no fire everywhere, and the fire system is so weak. ”

"Big mistake!" The Flame Demon said abruptly and fiercely as he almost leaned in front of Chongyang's face.

"There is no fire everywhere? In fact, the whole world is full of fire! Whether it is air, metal, wood, lake, or even your human body itself, there is fire! Fire is the most essential composition of the world!" "This is the result of countless research experiments I have done, and the core of my theory of the strongest fire system!"

"There's fire everywhere?why didn't I see it?," Chongyang said with some disdain, a little sarcastically.

"That's because the flames that exist in everything in the world are so small that they can't be seen with your eyes!" said the Fire Demon.

"It's so small that you can't see the flame?...... what is that," Chongyang said coldly, when he suddenly stopped, and an astonishing thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the "fire" that the fire demon said "there is fire everywhere" actually refers to......

"In traditional magic theory, the basic method of using fire magic is based on magic and air as a guide, causing effects such as burning and exploding. However, in my new theory, this method is completely wrong! The basis for using fire magic should be based on everything in the outside world, and magic should be used as the guide!"

The Firefiend has fully demonstrated his fanatical attitude towards the mysteries of magic as a research mage.

"Since there is fire in everything, what we fire magicians have to do is not to burn our own magic power, but to burn everything in the outside world! Just like a spark, it can burn the entire forest! The entire continent is a super forest with a different structure, and we fire magicians are the existence of Mars!"

"This ......" Chongyang swallowed.

Such a shocking theory really shocked Prisland, who had been dealing with the basics for many years.

However, since he has experience in another life, if you compare this theory with some basic knowledge on Earth. You will realize that everything that the Flame Demon said is probably correct! Because the "fire" that the Flame Demon said is one of the most basic energies that really exist in all things in time—molecular chemical energy.

The fundamental effect of fire magic is burning. Combustion is actually a fierce chemical reaction between molecules, which involves material activities at the atomic level. Therefore, in essence, everything in the world composed of molecules can indeed be "burned", but the method and difficulty of "burning" are different.

With the Yan Demon's gushing narration, Chongyang's eyes gradually became fanatical.

This is indeed the power of the fire type, the strongest force.

“...... The magic that has been developed according to my theory is a new type of fire magic that is the opposite of the traditional stupidity. Guided by magic, based on all things. This kind of magic, first of all, we must understand the structure of the existence of the outside world, and adjust the structure to release the magic according to the structure, so that our magic power will become Mars, and the existence we want to attack is the forest that will be burned out. ”

"Theoretically, but in reality, it is very difficult to understand the structure of the outside world, and to adjust the structure of one's own magic. The first condition is extremely strong spiritual power!"

Speaking of this, Chongyang finally understood, why he said that he was the candidate that Yan Demon was looking for? It was because he was far superior to the strong spiritual power of ordinary magicians, and met the basic requirements of Yan Demon's new type of fire magic.

However......

"I roughly get it. I think I can believe your theory, but even if I meet the requirements of mental power, what about my natural magic deficiency?"

Chongyang laughed at himself: "Even if the focus of this new type of fire-based magic is not magic, what can a mere third-level magician do?"

Determine the amount of water a barrel holds, always the shortest plank. The magic defect is Chongyang's heaviest and coldest shackles as a magician.

"Of course I have a workable way to save you from your magic deficiency, otherwise I wouldn't have found you. The Fire Demon laughed hoarsely.

Rumble...... In Chongyang's mind, there was an earth-shattering explosion!
