SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Inside the large training grounds of the Eternal Sun Sect, an atmosphere of intense focus enveloped Peak Master Porus and Kent. Peak Master Porus continued to teach the Fire based arrow spells.

"Rakta Vrishti Maris" ['Crimson Rain of Meteors']

As Kent recited the mantra, his hands released the crackled fiery arrow which cut through the air and dozens of small, fiery comets rained down on another set of targets, leaving them charred and smoking.

"Sarpa Agni Vamsh" ['Serpentine Blaze of Agni']

Kent released, reciting the mantra. Fiery serpents slithered across the field, their paths controlled by his focused intent. The fiery serpents coiled around the target dummies, locking them tightly in fiery embrace.

"Anala Chakra Bhasm" ['Ember Swirl of Anala']

Kent executed this spell, creating a swirling vortex of embers that enveloped a target like a dome, slowly consuming it in a controlled burn.

"Good, but maintain a perfect sphere of fire as your opponent can easily escape from weak spots." Porus instructed as they progressed to more demanding spells.

Nodding his head, Kent moved onto the next spell.

"Surya Agni Aavahan" ['Fiery Mantle of Surya']

Kent's invocation summoned a protective circle of fire around him, demonstrating both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Each new spell pushed Kent's limits further. The 'Infernal Spears of deadly Fire', invoked by [Jwala Naraka Yasti], required him to launch multiple, high-intensity fire arrow spells which turned into spears that pierced through reinforced targets designed to withstand intense heat.

Hours into the night, they reached the peak of tonight's training with the 'Phoenix Ascension Blast', a spell of remarkable power and beauty. ["Bhasma Pankh Phoenix"] Kent recited with deep focus.

From his released arrow, fiery wings erupted, sweeping across the field in a display of blazing glory that mimicked the mythical phoenix's rebirth.

As Kent focused and channeled his aura into the fiery phenix, that mythical poured blazing fires on to the target Kent pointed.

Porus, watching Kent's progress with a nod of approval, put his bow aside. "Your control and understanding have grown significantly. It's not just about mastering these spells but integrating them into your instinct. Rather knowing thousands of spells, knowing one spell with perfect use is better. So, try to use these spells based on your opponent's attack." Porus said while walking out of the Arena.

"Yes, master. Your disciple understands. I will try my best to use each spell based on the situation." Kent replied while walking beside Peak master Porus.

"Tomorrow, I will teach you defense spells. By the way, do you feel any improvement in fire dao?" Porus asked with a questioning glance.

"I feel my control increased greatly. But I didn't see a major improvement." Kent replied, thinking about his Fire elemental Dao.

"It's okey. Actually, reaching perfect fire dao is impossible without any miraculous opportunity. So, try to improve your fire dao using fire crystals for the time bring. We will move onto next elemental dao if you reach a bottle neck." Porus suggested, thinking about what element dao should he teach Kent next time.

Kent nodded his head and thanked peak master Porus for his insights. As the morning sun preparing to show up, exhausted Kent wiped sweat from his brow and left the rising sun peak on his Fire Kirin. Peak Master Porus went to check the sect treasury to find dao insights of other elements.

By the time Kent reached his residence, the surroundings were still partially covered by darkness. Kent first cleaned himself and opened the bed room door to see the situation with Amelia.

But his eyes went wide after seeing Sophia who is peacefully sleeping together with Amelia. He thought Amelia would throw a tantrum and won't speak with him for few days after knowing his relationship with Amelia. That's why he is very surprised to see Sophia on Amelia's bed.

Shaking his head with a smile, Kent took out sky orb and sent a message for Fatty Ben. As peak master Porus ordered Kent to participate in the Arena fights, Kent decided to explain the situation to Ben and make him set up fights in the Arena.

After sending the message, Kent slowly approached the bed, slept beside them for a short nap. Feeling the change of weight, Amelia opened her eyes, but after seeing Kent, she closed her eyes with a smile. But Sophia is till sleeping with a slight snore.

In the dim light of early dawn, Fatty Ben is jolted awake by the urgent buzzing of a message crystal next to his bed. As the soft glow of the crystal illuminated his room, Fatty squinted to read the incoming message from Kent.

A surge of excitement coursed through him as he realized the implications of the message. It was time for the much-anticipated consent from Kent.

"Yeah… Finally, it's time to earn." Fatty muttered with excited smile

With an enthusiastic heave, Fatty threw back his covers and leapt out of bed. He quickly rummaged through his belongings, pulling on his flashy clothe with golden rat symbol and grabbing his essentials.

After getting ready, Fatty made his way to the Arena, the sky shifted from a deep navy to a bright orange, indicating the morning.

While travelling towards the Arena, Ben reflected on the conversation he had with Larry the night before. Larry, who is trying hard to befriend Ben, had exchanged a wealth of information with Fatty.

This included detailed insights into the inheritance grounds and limited spots available for each sect. Larry had also shared his assessments of the possible disciples who could qualify from each sect. But he didn't mention about his relation with Zi Chem.

The Arena was already buzzing with activity when Fatty arrived. Disciples of various sects lined around the arena gallery. All the gamblers were busily moving to set matches at the administration hall with top rankers.

Fatty scanned the crowd, identifying several faces Larry had mentioned the night before. Just as he thinking about finding a capable, popular and high rank opponent for Kent, a familiar hand dropped on his shoulder.

As Fatty turned to side, he saw Larry who put on a smiling face. Fatty smiled happily as he thought of asking help from Larry to set up a match for Kent with high ranking opponent.
