Chapter 298: The Night Is As Cold as Water

The night is as cool as water, and the moon is as soft as jade.

The night before the game was quieter than usual, but under the silent night sky, how many people could really sleep? For example, Lan Jiu at this moment was difficult to sleep, this was the first time he participated in such a big competition, and it was much more exciting than on the battlefield before.

Lan Jiu, who did not bless the wind element, was like a walk, wandering around this magic academy.

In a few days, under the introduction of Wu Yu and Jia Wei, Lan Jiu finally got to know this academy thoroughly. Compared with the beginning of the visit, there is naturally less awe in my heart, on the contrary, the sense of integration and belonging here is stronger.

For example, at one time, Lan Jiu only knew that he should not look around here. But in fact, that's just relative to the entire Holy Martial Academy, in this not too big magic academy, the rules are much kinder, basically there are few places to be restricted and grounded, as long as you don't make trouble or cause trouble, there are not too many rules.

For all students, the time is absolutely free, and all the instructors' courses will not require anything. For example, Mu Xue will only take Teacher Han's classes.

However, in general, most of the students do not have the illustrious family background and outstanding talent of hers. Therefore, for them, the class is more like a benefit given to them by the academy, how can they give it up? And the students here are more motivated and hardworking than they imagined.

At the same time, the treatment enjoyed by the magician here is indeed the best.

Although the elements of the continent are gradually depleted and the mages are declining, it is different here. Although the dormitory of the Academy of Magic is not splendid, it is also spacious, comfortable and warm. As for the food, not to mention the food, the magician's physique is already weak, and if he doesn't eat better, he won't have the strength to perform magic at all.

Compared to the outside world, the life of a magician is probably similar to that of those royal nobles. Of course, the responsibilities and obligations are also very heavy, according to the statistics of previous years, if the magician participates in the war, the death rate is as high as 70%.

Although comfort destroys people, in such an environment, everyone understands the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

The same is true for Lan Jiu, you have to know this place, but Lan Ni gave it to him, how can he not cherish it? On weekdays, in addition to attending classes and cultivating, before this big battle, he finally had time to take a good look at this academy.

The Imperial Dragon Hall, this is the most sacred place in the Academy of Magic.

But it's only sacred in the traditional sense, and in fact, nothing mysterious has happened here for so many years. But just a few years ago, there was a god-level magician who sat here and ascended to heaven, and everyone else called him, Dragon Venerable.

The Dragon Venerable can be regarded as the last god-level magician recorded in history.

It is said that he and the Venerable Demon Analysis were figures from the same period. The thunder element he mastered could only be described in four words, and at the same time, his martial arts cultivation had also reached a terrifying realm. Because back then, he captured the extinct Thunder Dragon as a mount, and since then it has been named, and the dragon is respected.

However, after that catastrophe, the strong fell one after another, and Dragon Respect was no exception.

At that time, he was the dean of the Academy of Magic, so he chose to die here. It is said that on that day, half of the sky turned a strange purple, and bursting thunder and lightning bombarded the land one after another, and countless innocent beings died under those terrifying thunderbolts.

But no one can understand the thoughts of the Dragon Venerable.

Although there are always rumors, there is his inheritance in the Dragon Palace. But in fact, the Wizards Guild has been studying for so many years, but it has never found anything. Although there is a little bit of thunder and lightning power left in it, there are very few that can be used by people, and as for the inheritance or something, it does not exist.

But after all, the Dragon Respect is once the top powerhouse of the Wizards Association, and the place of death is of great significance.

Therefore, this place, from a very early time, has been designated as a sacred place by the Academy of Magic. All students can enter and leave the place at any time, but as time goes by, fewer and fewer people enter.

After all, respecting history is something that everyone should do, but there is no obligation, there must be something to pay for history, at least, in the Academy of Magic, there are really not many people who are willing to sacrifice precious study time to study an ethereal inheritance.

Lan Jiu is the same, if it weren't for the eve of the final, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found time to come here, right?

This is an empty hall, his heart and eyes were swept away, Lan Jiu's heart shook slightly, there are indeed many mysteries hidden here.

In the hall, there are countless stone statues, each of which is the appearance of the Dragon Venerable. The remnants of the power of the thunder elemental floating in the air were all spread out of these stone statues. But in the center of the main hall, the huge stone statue had no elemental fluctuations at all, as if it had lost its soul.

Lan Jiu himself had awakened the thunder spirit pill, so he was no stranger to these thunder elements, and with a wave of his palm, his spirit pill was like a medium, directly communicating with those residual elements around him.

This is probably Lan Jiu's biggest reliance, right? Although he didn't know the role of these spirit pills very clearly, he had to say that he seemed to be able to manipulate the elements. Yes, it's the control element, it's just that Lan Jiu can't use it as he wants now.

The purple thunder condensed on Lan Jiu's body little by little.

Sitting cross-legged, the staff of dreams floated in front of him, his fingers pinched lightly, and on the stone statues around him, the power of thunder and lightning slowly converged towards Lan Jiu's body, and the spirit pill rotated rapidly, trying to absorb all those thunder elements.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he sighed in his heart, sure enough. Lan Jiu's heart is about to have a bottom, at least, at this rate, his thunder spirit pill will also bloom with brilliance, right?

At this moment, the mutation protruded, and Lan Jiu, who was originally very conceited, only felt a little panicked in his heart. With a frown, he hurriedly ran the Nine Tricks of the Heavenly Pill, and the Thunder Spirit Pill rotated even more violently, like a vortex, but even so, it still couldn't change the outcome of the failure.

Those thunder elements that had originally frantically poured into Lan Jiu's body suddenly became crazy and agitated, and they collided in Lan Jiu's body little by little.

"Forehead ......" Lan Jiu was startled, and hurriedly recovered the Nine Recipes of Tiandan, in an attempt to suppress the elemental riot.

But the more he suppressed, the stronger the agitation, and in the blink of an eye, blood oozed from the corners of Lan Jiu's mouth. Finally, after Lan Jiu gritted his teeth several times to no avail, all the thunder elements finally rushed out of his body, shocking Lan Jiu almost kneeling down, his eyes were slightly cold, and Lan Jiu only felt the annoyance of overturning the river and the sea in his heart.

Could it be that because of his willfulness and conceit, he is doomed to the defeat of tomorrow's game? In fact, the pain of the backlash is so painful, and it is heavier than the previous battles combined, in such a state, how should the final be held tomorrow?

"Why ???" Lan Jiu raised his forehead slightly, and said angrily, "It's obviously a rich thunder element, how can it not be absorbed!"

His eyes slowly narrowed, and his heart eyes once again seriously swept the surrounding environment, and the position of these stone statues slowly reflected in Lan Jiu's mind. But after listening to him take a light breath, he muttered in a low voice, "Could it be related to these stone statues... Could it be a formation?"

Thinking of this, Lan Jiu seemed to realize something, and hurriedly shook his body and stood in front of the stone statue in the center. The palm of his hand was slightly raised, covering the stone statue, but his face slowly changed, and he said with some self-reproach, "Sure enough, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry... Earlier, these statues should have been carefully examined!"

Lan Jiu's heart slowly simulated the position of these stone statues, sketching little by little what the Dragon Venerable was designing before he sat down, and why it became the way it is now.

"Do you want to use these formations to protect the Magic Academy, or do you want to cause some trials to the inheritors?, but why, in the end, it completely lost its original effect...... Or is it the stone statue in the middle that is the most important?"

Thinking of this, Lan Jiu slowly looked at the difference between the central stone statue and the stone statues around him.

Suddenly, a glimmer of essence flashed in Lan Jiu's eyes, and he said with some sudden realization, "In addition to the difference in body size and residual elements, the biggest difference is the soul... Yes, it's as if it has an empty form but lacks a soul... And those stone statues around them, the remnants of the thunder element, seem to be their souls!"

With Lan Jiu's muttering, there were gradually some simple pictures in his mind. Thinking of this, Lan Jiu said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, then I'll give it a try!"

With a wave of his palm, the soul spirit pill flashed with a trace of strange light, and then, in the space, a layer of gray brilliance gradually eroded towards the stone statue's body.

At this moment, the eyes of the huge stone statue suddenly lit up, and a ray of light shot out. And the stone statues around him, their eyes also lit up one after another, as if they were echoing a hundred times, surrounding Lan Jiu's body, these lights were like a magic circle, enveloping it.

Not only that, in the dantian, the purple thunder element spirit pill suddenly lit up and spun rapidly. The speed was even more violent than before, and the purple brilliance around it quickly merged into Lan Jiu's body. The huge stone statue also bloomed with purple brilliance, surging towards Lan Jiu's body little by little.

That's the power of thunder and lightning. Lan Jiu Daxi, this level of richness should be the true inheritance of the Dragon Venerable.

As soon as the palm of his hand was raised, a purple brilliance instantly condensed, and Lan Jiu's eyes were also shrouded in purple. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his red lips opened slightly, and a somewhat conceited voice sounded, "Thunder Forbidden Spell - Dragon Yin!"
