Chapter Eighty-Seven: Twelve Years of Change (I)

Iroh gradually came back to his senses, and he knew that with the prompt of that cold voice, he had broken through the fourth level of the Iota Arena and returned to the real world.

It's just that......

If it weren't for the shocking scene just now, Iroh would never believe that he was the one who started everything.

Faced with the explosion that struck at the same time as the platinum light thunder, Iroh knew that resisting in his current state was undoubtedly a dead end.

But...... What if explosions were used to fight explosions?

In other words, Iroh will not be hurt by his own energy, so as long as he bursts out with energy stronger than Feihua Moon and then covers her attack, maybe he can successfully reverse it!

Before he had time to think about it, the next moment Iroh resolutely repeated the experience, once again causing the spirit to enter the void space, manipulating the flow of light to bombard the strange ball.

Only this time, instead of trying to suppress the ball's explosion, Iroh encouraged it to release all its energy!

Immediately, the small spheres began to split under the action of the optical flow, and countless smaller spheres detached from the original sphere with the energy that continued to expand in geometric progression, and then hit more spheres, making this energy grow at a speed that made Elo faintly frightened!

After a slight stalemate, it was followed by the moment when two unprecedentedly powerful energies merged and devoured each other!

Fortunately, Iroh's side has the upper hand.

The first thing that appeared was pure light, a dazzling light that could illuminate everything, and a light of destruction that could tear everything apart! Flying Flowers felt the stinging pain from all over the body the moment the strong light poured into the pupils, not the accompanying heat invasion, but the terrifying power of the "light" itself!

Immediately afterward, the ultra-high-pressure air shock wave that was frantically squeezed by the powerful force and spread out in the form of a "wall" in all directions, carrying a rumbling and booming noise that destroyed everything in this subspace. For the first time, a fear of death was mixed in Flying Flower's eyes, and she tried to stay away from the center of the blast, but it was too late.

The explosion that detonated the power in Iroh's body was far beyond her imagination.

The indescribable, incomprehensible terrible force has been silently covered, the air has been twisted and swallowed, the ground has been eroded and shattered, and the hard rock formations have all been reduced to a finer powder than gravel in an instant, floating in the air......

At the end of this collapse, it was as if the subspace had reached its limit, and a large gray-white vortex distorted time and space, constantly devouring the space like a ghost in the universe, a black hole.

This is the final destruction!

The spatial turbulence increased, and its indescribable luster could only be compatible with chaos, like the legendary wind of the final wind of the plane of annihilation, from here, it swept through the entire subspace—in less than a second, all shattered!

"Congratulations on breaking through the fourth area, is the challenger returning to the real world?"

"Yes. ”

......

"This explosion is at least ten times more powerful than the third level. But in the end, the power shown in the virtual world, I don't know how strong the actual power will be?"

Thinking about the battle, Iroh bit a green crystal the size of a human head, the gold in his eyes dissipated, leaving only a thread of gold.

"As for the enemy, it seems that it must be treated with more caution. ”

Combined with the process of the previous three challenges, Iroh keenly found that the farther back the guard, the greater the improvement of the guard compared to the previous level.

For example, the Frost Dancer and Jungle Shadow are quite similar in strength, except that the former focuses more on area attacks, while the latter pursues one-hit kills.

When it came to the Dance of the Blades, there was a noticeable change, and the superb combat skills definitely reached the level of the legendary powerhouse. If it weren't for the fact that his own strength was a little insufficient, he might not have had time to use his tricks at that time, and he would have failed.

And this time the flying flower is even more exaggerated, and she can already mobilize the energy of the entire flower arena for her own use, which makes her danger increase exponentially......

After all, I'm still a little anxious this time.,If you enter the youth period.,Complete the third awakening and get the talent to challenge again.,It must be much easier, right?

But......

Iroh narrowed his eyes slightly, there was no way around it. The day before yesterday, Weiss contacted him again and gave him a shocking piece of information: Stasi's side had become unstable again, and it was said that Archduke Jon had made several statements accusing Falkenridge of not keeping his covenant in recent months.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Archduke Jon's actions are mainly to build momentum, but what is the momentum for?

Naturally, it's a war with a torn face!

Yes, Archduke Jon has not been idle for twelve years, and on more than one occasion, the intelligence agents sent to Stacy by Falkenridge have provided sightings of Stasi's new projects for war, recruiting soldiers, or indirectly spreading words of unity and revenge—all of which prove that Stacy does have a plan for self-improvement.

Despite the elimination of the three nobles, the civil strife in Falkenridge lasted until three years ago, when the whole country was united and single-minded. Thinking about it this way, a fool can see who is strong and who is weak.

This is one of the reasons why Iroh is eager to test his strength.

In the last royal capital incident, it was because of his lack of strength that Airo had to hide behind the scenes, and even relied on the special security forces to complete a very important step in the plan.

If he had enough strength at that time, he would have been able to ignore so much!

In the final analysis, from birth to now, with a lot of brains, Iroh is making up for the lack of his own combat effectiveness. However, as a pure dragon, he still respects frontal resistance in his bones!

After all, you can get the most fun and pleasure by relying purely on strength to crush your opponent......

Retracting his wandering thoughts, Iroh once again focused his attention on the matter at hand.

Even as a long-lived dragon, this time Iroh has to admit that the changes in the past twelve years have indeed been a bit huge. Fortunately, as a young dragon, he is still in a very active state most of the time. Otherwise, if you have entered old age, twelve years is the kung fu of sleeping - think about it, sleep and find that your power has almost changed, even an elderly dragon will be shocked for a while, right?

If I want to talk about the biggest change, Iroh thinks there is nothing like the Solar Optics Society.

This organization, which was founded just twelve years ago, was nominally focused on academic exchanges, but in fact insisted on the study of the material school under the patronage of the kingdom of Falkenridge and Arrow.

As he promised, Iroh continued to turn his beliefs into tangible materials that would provide the four scholars with a basis for their research.

Turner, of course, they don't stay behind closed doors. In fact, with Arrow's acquiescence, they often left the valley and traveled to the nearby city of Falkenridge to exchange scholarly ideas with equally discouraged supporters of materialism.

In this way, the fame of the Helio-Optics Society gradually grew in Falkenridge. Twelve years have passed, and the members of this society have long been more than the original four - to be precise, there are fifty-three members of the society on record at this moment!

These fifty-three people are not all materialists, and seven of them are traditional magicians and alchemists.

You know, academic battles are actually quite interesting, and many times, scholars will find ways to attack the loopholes in their opponents' theories to prove that their opponents' theories are not as good as their own. But more often than not, even scholars of different schools of thought communicate with each other.

Because whether it is the magic school or the material school, the biggest difference lies in the difference in research methods and research objects, and their goal is still the same, that is, to explore the laws and essence of the world.

Hundreds of years ago, when the school of magic had not yet developed to its unprecedented peak, scholars from the two schools would often exchange ideas. They all know that only by constantly learning and being exposed to more fields can they keep their curiosity unblinded.

It's a pity that the magic school developed too fast later, and the limitations of the material school were too great, coupled with some political factors, which led to the situation of one dominance.

And Iroh, who has focused on the materialistic school, will certainly not allow such an imbalance to occur in Falkenridge, which is in fact his own rule.

It was under these circumstances that Noelle was ordered to change his appearance and communicate with Turner by posing as a young member of the School of Magic. In addition, at the behest of Iroh, Vis also promulgated policies to encourage the development of the materialist school and the integration of the two schools.

However, even so, it took a full twelve years for the members of the Magic School of the Falkenridge Kingdom to initially accept the Material School......

Why didn't Ieloh want to speed things up?Stasie had maintained a friendship with Falkenridge all these years, but in fact he had been sharpening his knives every day—something that even Vis was aware of, and it was impossible for Iroh not to know it.

But he is not a god after all, and he doesn't have the power to change the heavens and the earth, so he can only take it slowly, step by step.

Falkenridge really owes too much debt in the past, and it is already very powerful to be able to basically pay it off in twelve years, and he still wants to catch up with Stasi, who started to work decades in advance?

It's a dream!

What made Ello feel even more stressed was that the current members of the Tokamak faction were scattered by him. Twelve years ago, he could still use "having dragons as his subordinates" to motivate himself a little. But now those dragons were so far away from him that many times Iroh felt that he was actually working on only himself.

That sense of loneliness, combined with the oppression of a strong enemy pressing at all times, even if Iroh has the strong will of a dragon, sometimes he feels unbearable.

- But so what? Can you get rid of it?

This is just the beginning, the reversal of the general trend of the world that Iroh said back then was by no means a whim!
