Ji Dong really understood, and when he heard Fury say this, it was strange that he didn't understand. The four big words of the supreme powerhouse were deeply imprinted in his mind, and at this moment, he really understood how powerful his master was. The Ding Fire Divine Beast Beetle Snake is a mount, and it is definitely the pinnacle of strength on the entire continent.

Fury smiled bitterly: "Little junior brother, now you know why everyone is so afraid of my master." Even if the emperors of various countries see their masters, they have to bow down. ”

Ji Dong nodded silently, "Senior brother, let's go back to the academy." I'm going to retreat for a few days. ”

"Retreat again, junior brother, if you are too rigid, it is easy to break, so you don't want to practice too much. By the way, my wife said just now that your magic power is close to the three crowns, what's going on? Didn't you just break through the two crowns?"

Ji Dong no longer hid it, and briefly told the magic that he had absorbed from Suzaku and Suzaku eggs when he helped Suzaku hatch children. At that time, even he was not very clear about the specific situation.

"In that case, then you should go into retreat. However, it is not trivial to impact the triple crown, so it is better to ask a teacher to protect the Dharma for you. ”

Ji Dong glanced at Fury and nodded silently. "I'll rest for a day or two, and then I'll trouble the teacher. ”

After this preliminary test, Ji Dong has made great progress in his magic skills and experience against the enemy, and his magic power has also increased to the next critical point. However, it is more important for him to fully recognize his own shortcomings. He understood that he had relied on the flames in his heart before. But if you really want to have the power to protect the flames, you can't rely on her completely. Moreover, from the conversation between Blaze and Suzaku, he also heard a lot of things. It's clear that flames can't come to the world easily, and it's no joke. And it's about her safety.

When the two brothers returned to Tiangan Academy, the night was already dark. Ji declined Fury's invitation to have two drinks and went straight back to his room.

As soon as he closed the door, he immediately called out impatiently, "Blaze." ”

The red lotus swept, this time there was no barrier in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range, and in the wrapping of the red lotus petals, Ji Dong shuttled away.

The blazing heat returned, and he took a hard breath of scorching air that was almost fatal to ordinary people, and Ji Dong only felt a burst of comfort all over his body. Only in this inner world is his spirit the most relaxed.

Blaze stood on the rock platform, looking at him with a smile on her face. After a few days of not seeing her, seeing her again, Ji Dong's eyes couldn't help but reveal strong thoughts and longings.

"Blaze, I'm coming. I'll make a bar for you first. As he spoke, Ji Dong immediately got busy, no matter how tired his body and mind were, as long as it was for the flames, he could immediately adjust to the best state, and condense all the emotions in his heart at the moment into a glass of wine.

In a few moments, a cocktail as brilliant as a rainbow was handed to Blaze.

"I'm sorry, Blaze. I knew you meant well that day. But ......"

Blaze shook his head, and his spring-like jade fingers pressed Ji Dong's lips, "You didn't do anything wrong. It's that I'm doing it too radically. You're doing better than I do. Xiao Ji Dong, I'm really happy, this time, you made me feel that you have really grown up. ”

Seeing that Blaze didn't blame himself, the string that had been tense in Ji Dong's heart suddenly relaxed, "It's a pity that I couldn't take a look at that little Suzaku more." I just remember it was cute when it was born. I'll definitely go see them again if I have the chance. ”

Blaze sighed lightly and took a sip of wine, "Xiao Ji Dong, you owe Suzaku a lot of favor this time." If you have the opportunity in the future, you must repay her. I didn't expect Suzaku's surname to be so strong. You can see that she really treats you as a friend. ”

"I owe Suzaku a favor?" Ji Dong looked at Flame with some confusion.

Blaze nodded, "Yes, although you helped her hatch the baby, in her opinion, it was you who gave more. But in reality, she gives you something far more than you give. You see. ”

As he spoke, Flame's left hand swept through the air, and a red lotus spread its petals in the air, revealing an illusory scene. On the lake in the center of the earth, a little red light condensed towards the illusory place, and after a while, the illusory light and shadow had become real. Ji Dong was surprised to see that what was presented in it was the scene he was in the Vermilion Bird Cave.

I saw that I was pressing one hand on the Vermilion Bird egg, my face was pale, and my body trembled slightly. And at this time, Suzaku is behind him. Seeing that the phoenix blood sycamore wood core and the extreme yang concentrate flew up one after another, they were refined by her Bingwu Yuanyang Holy Fire. The three drops of phoenix blood were each integrated into his body. The phoenix feathers were stained with juice and pierced every part of his body. Until all the juice is gone. At the same time, he clearly saw the huge white wing tattoo on his back. The tattoo spreads from the shoulder all the way to the hip and does not end until the thigh.

"It's ......," Ji Dong looked at Blaze in surprise.

Blaze said: "Originally, I planned to take this opportunity to ask Vermilion Bird for the three materials of Extreme Yang Concentrate, Phoenix Crown Bloodline, and Phoenix Blood Sycamore Wood Tree Core. Prepare yourself for the future of creating your own magical armor. Good magic weapons require the best materials. Vermilion Bird is a fire divine beast, and these materials around her have been infected by her own for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It's better than what I have here. I was a little disappointed when you decided to give up. After all, such an opportunity cannot be seen again. But who knows, Suzaku is to hatch children, and the other is to repay you for this help, so he actually used his divine power to fuse those materials into one, and then hit your skin through his own phoenix feathers. This is the infusion of your own source power into your body, fused with the eclipse yin fire you absorb. ”

"Ostensibly, your magic power has been raised to level thirty. But in reality, that's not the biggest benefit you'll get this time around. Suzaku uses his phoenix feathers as needles to forge a special set of armor for you, which can be called inner armor. It blends in perfectly with your skin, and when you're strong enough, it shines as it should, and the inner armor grows as your body grows, always in tune with you. Each Vermilion Bird phoenix feather carries a little bit of her own phoenix marrow. In order to forge this inner armor, Suzaku has been greatly injured. It's just that she didn't show it in front of you. But without hundreds of years, she will not recover. ”

Ji Dong listened to Blaze in a daze, "How can this be? I actually took advantage of Suzaku so much. I really just wanted to help her. ”

Blaze bowed her head slightly, "If it weren't for your selfless heart, how could Suzaku repay you by hurting herself? You can't take this kindness in vain. You're right, for such a mother who has been guarding her children for 3,000 years, you should help no matter what. ”

As she spoke, Flame drank the wine in one gulp, returned the cup to Ji Dong, and slowly walked to the edge of the rock platform, slowly raising her hands to her chest, making a heart-hugging gesture, and the light in her eyes became more solemn than ever. Circles of red brilliance overflowed from her body, wafting and spreading. The fire elementals that had been flowing freely in the air all quieted down, quietly rhythming with the fluctuations of the magic power released from the flame's body.

Ji Dong had never seen Flame so solemn, and the fluctuation of the fire element in the air gave him the same feeling as when Suzaku took him out of the cave and instantly turned the sky into a world of fire. It was even much richer than the fire elemental at that time.

In the distance, in the widest part of the geocentric lake, huge bubbles slowly bubbled up, and the surrounding magma also fluctuated unsteadily. Vaguely, Ji Dong could see that in the middle of the lake in the center of the earth, something seemed to be pouring out.

At this moment, a huge pillar of red light suddenly erupted from the center of the lake, and the air in the entire lake seemed to have turned into a solid substance. Ji Dong felt like an insect embedded in amber, unable to move. Unable to breathe. The vitality of the whole person seems to be squeezed together. Only the eyes can see through the thick red of everything in the center of the magma lake.

With a pop, a huge object climbed out of the magma lake, which turned out to be a red lotus flower. It is no longer the energy formation, but the real red lotus. Stained with golden-red magma, little by little it surfaced. The magma slipped from the lotus flower, and even the slightest bit of it could not be saved. Out of the magma without staining. This is...... This red lotus is at least five meters in diameter, and each petal is the purest red. In the center of the lotus, a lotus pod quietly rose, and the lotus pod was also red, and a total of more than ten golden lotus seeds the size of a fist could be vaguely seen.

Blaze raised her hand and lightly pressed it on the center of her eyebrows, and suddenly, a rich red erupted outward from the center of her body, forming a huge red halo. And the delicate face of the flame also showed a look of pain. Although she turned her back to Ji Dong at this time, Ji Dong couldn't see the expression on her face, but she could see that Flame's body was constantly trembling.

In the center of the magma lake, above the huge red lotus, a golden lotus seed shook gently, and the trembling flames in her body suddenly pointed at it, and the red aura that emanated around her body suddenly turned into a streamer and flew away, enveloping the shaking lotus seed. The golden light shone brightly, the flame let out a soft breath, and in the paleness of his face, the golden lotus seed broke away from the lotus canopy and flew in its direction in the flickering red light.

The flames gasped violently, the thick fire element in the air gradually soothed, and the huge red lotus also sank back into the center of the earth. Ji Dong also regained the ability to move.

"Blaze, what's wrong with you?" Ji Dongfei pounced over, and when he saw Blaze like this, the pain in his heart was a hundred, a thousand times more painful than the previous feeling of suffocation. When she came closer, she saw that Flame's face was pale, and at the same time, one of her hands also caught the golden lotus seed the size of a fist.

Reluctantly bringing a smile, Blaze shook his head at Xiang Ji, "Don't worry." It's okay. Xiao Ji moves, you put away this lotus seed. Go back to the Earth Spirit Mountain Range again and give it to Suzaku. ”

After receiving the lotus seed that the flame sent to his hand, Ji Dong found that although the lotus seed came out of the magma in the center of the earth, it was not hot in itself, but just warm. Vaguely, Ji Dong felt that the lotus seeds seemed to be beating slightly, as if there was blood pulsating in them.

"No, Blaze. This lotus seed must be very important to you. You said that you are a red lotus in your heart. This lotus seed must be a part of your body. How can I let you use it to repay this favor for me? I owe Suzaku what I owe, and I will pay it myself. ”

Blaze's face gradually looked a little better, "Xiao Ji moves." Why don't you understand? Now is when Suzaku needs help the most. ”

"No, no, absolutely not. Ji Dong's mood was extremely moving, and his heart was about to break when he looked at Blaze's pale face. He had never been so scared as he was now. Even when death was imminent, there was no such emotion as it is now. The flame's place in his heart had risen to a point where even he didn't quite understand it.

"Shut up. Blaze shouted, "Little Ji Dong, why don't you understand what I mean? I'd rather let you owe me than let you owe Suzaku." Once the lotus seeds have been peeled off, they cannot be returned. If you can't let go of it, you owe me another favor. Moreover, I will give you this lotus seed sooner or later. It's just that Suzaku has already helped me make what you need, and this lotus seed is considered to be her payment. ”

Ji Dong looked at Flame, the excitement in his eyes gradually calmed down, and Flame said: I'd rather let you owe me than let you owe Suzaku. It deeply touched Ji Dong's heart. For the first time since he met Blaze, he felt from Blaze's emotions that she cared about him. Even if it seemed to be just a possessive desire, it filled his heart with ecstasy. It turns out that she cares about me too.

Nodding silently, Ji Dong carefully put the golden lotus seed into his Vermilion Bird bracelet, and he calmed down and said softly: "Blaze, in fact, you are wrong, I will never owe you anything." Because, since I first met you, everything about me has already belonged to you. If I live for a year, it will belong to you for a year, or one day, it will belong to you for one day. Even in the last second of my life, I still belong to you. Even if you die and turn to ashes, you will still have your imprint. ”
