Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 565 - 563: Elemental King Body

Chapter 565: Chapter 563: Elemental King Body

On this day, unusual activity arose in Vermilion Bird Valley, causing the temperature in the vast area to steadily climb, and the surrounding Ring River to also become increasingly warm.

Swamp ant and others initially thought that some daunting adversary had arrived. Only after a thorough investigation did they discover, the source of the disturbance originated from Sorcerer Ivan’s location.

“It seems Sorcerer Ivan has made significant progress again, otherwise his power surely wouldn’t have leaked out like this.”

“He really doesn’t waste any of his talent.”

Angela and Tanaya also noticed the anomaly and, realizing it was a false alarm, couldn’t help but express their feelings, mixed with admiration and envy.

Before long, even greater commotion was revealed, and there suddenly appeared an element giant, entirely crimson.

This element giant seemed to have been condensed from flames; wherever its feet trod, the ground immediately blackened and began to sink slowly. Faint, mysterious patterns could also be seen on the giant’s body.

“As expected of the most driven wizard among the new generation, he actually managed to congeal an Elemental King Body within a few years. Now he has filled in the final gap in his status as an Arcane Wizard.”

Watching this scene, Tanaya, despite her expectations, couldn’t suppress her amazement.

For a lord-level strong being, there’s a significant difference in whether one can manifest the Elemental King Body or not.

With the Elemental King Body, one’s outer layer is essentially covered with another exceptionally thick layer of armor, and what’s more important, it enables the maximal exertion of a lord-level being’s vast power.

Even directly confronting massive, ferocious beasts head-on wouldn’t leave one lacking confidence.

“If it threw a punch now, I certainly couldn’t take it.”

“Indeed, it does look very formidable.”

“Doesn’t it seem a bit short though?”

Others chimed in one after another, only to find one softly muttered comment somewhat incongruous.

Everyone looked over, and the flame scorpion that had unconsciously voiced its thoughts shrank its neck in fright.

“You don’t understand, the Elemental King Body isn’t necessarily better the taller it is. For an Arcane Wizard, the optimal height is between twenty to thirty meters. Being too tall or too short would affect the exertion of one’s own strength.”

Tanaya knew the flame scorpion had made an unintentional blunder, and after giving it a glare, she elaborated on this issue.

“So there’s so much to it after all, I’ve learned something new today.” Swamp ant wouldn’t ignore his underling and hurriedly smoothed things over.

“You don’t know the half of it,” Tanaya said.

“By the way, Miss Tanaya, how is your progress with the Knight King’s promotion?” Swamp ant curiously inquired.

“I still have to mull it over. Don’t think Sorcerer Ivan’s breakthrough was that easy; he and I are different. His main pursuit is the sorcerer’s path, while I follow the sole path of a Knight, and the situations we face are quite different.”

Tanaya didn’t hide this fact.

In terms of power levels, she and swamp ant were on the same tier, naturally sharing a topic they could discuss.

“Either way, it’s better than me; I have no clue to this day, unless—”

Swamp ant expressed some distress before pausing when he saw the flame scorpion listening intently.

In fact, Tanaya herself could figure it out without swamp ant having to say it.

The metamorphosis and promotion of insect-kind has always been thus; it’s about plunging headlong into treacherous situations, enduring life-or-death ordeals, and seeking the opportunity to break free from shackles amidst adversity.

Unlike other wild insects, swamp ant has followed Ivan since birth, accompanying him on journeys far and wide, to the sky and into the depths.

To this day, asking swamp ant to advance to lord-level by following traditional insect practices, frankly speaking, it feels somewhat repulsed in its heart; unless absolutely necessary, it definitely would not resort to such a measure.

“I didn’t expect you to be so faint-hearted,” Tanaya chuckled.

“””This isn’t a matter of cowardice. With my current knowledge, that traditional method does seem quite foolish. The final outcome is almost certain death,” Swamp Ant shook its head and expressed.

“The more one knows, the more troubles one has.”

Tanaya did not argue with it; the way bugs advance in rank is indeed appalling.

Eventually, Tanaya told Swamp Ant a piece of uncertain news that she learned from Sorcerer Ivan himself, who once mentioned he had obtained a part of the knowledge inheritance from the Scarlet Legion.

This might be able to help Swamp Ant.

Swamp Ant’s eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

On the other side.

While they were speaking, the element giant had already vanished without a trace.

“At last, the Elemental King Body has been formed; it’s worth all the years I’ve spent delving into various flames,” Sorcerer Ivan heaved a deep sigh in some meditation room, and tiny sparks flew out from it.

Over the years, to condense the Elemental King Body sooner, he truly researched many flames, including: the Sun’s Golden Flame, Thunderous Fire, Frost Flame, Black Magic Fire that can scorch the soul, Molten Lava Fire with its astonishingly high temperature, the irritant Fire of Fury, the poisonous Green Candle Fire, and Black Beard Purple Fire.

He also touched upon the Pure White Flame.

The Pure White Flame is a type of flame with spatial attributes, making all other flames seem lackluster in comparison.

This wasn’t something Ivan had concocted on his own. Instead, someone had gone to the trouble of finding the actual substance and presenting it to him. This was back when he hadn’t left Truth City, and the one bringing the gift was He Bo, the elemental lord of Storm City.

When Ivan passed through Ring River, he went to He Bo to settle an old score. After losing, He Bo not only made the proper apologies but also owed Ivan a favor, mainly because Ivan hadn’t decided what he wanted He Bo to do.

Elemental Lord He Bo, being impulsive, was very unwilling to owe him a favor.

And for some reason, having possibly come to a realization, He Bo chose to cater to his interests, delivering an extremely rare flame, without caring about its actual value.

As a result, Ivan was not disappointed; he settled the old matter using the Pure White Flame.

A happy outcome for all.

Space-related things are indeed extraordinary. Ivan explored it for many days, and so far, he’s only managed to slightly control some of the Pure White Flame.

The Pure White Flame’s attribute is one: it burns everything.

This is clearly a tyrannical flame that takes destructiveness to the extreme.

It’s a pity that, like the previously encountered Chaotic Space Pearl, he cannot fully control the Pure White Flame now. If used recklessly, the consequences would be beyond his control and might even hurt himself.

“Space is more troublesome than the soul.”

Ivan had been exploring space knowledge for many years, and he was quite open-minded about it, not deliberately insisting on anything.

Afterward, he tested the coverage of his elements domain; it had surpassed seven thousand meters, growing more than two thousand meters from the initial five thousand meters.

Just as he was preparing to explore further, he suddenly sensed something.

With a casual wave of his hand, out of nowhere, a small green Crystal Ball appeared. Upon activating it, the voice of the King of Ten Thousand Woods came through, clear:

“Sorcerer Ivan, greetings.”

“You must attend the emergency meeting of the Supreme Council on May 5th, 3131 of the Betta Calendar, Gena Swinburne leaves this message.”

The voice quickly subsided, but Ivan remained lost in thought for a long time, his brow furrowed.

As a general rule, emergency meetings like this, temporary meetings, are only called when something unforeseen and unfavorable surfaces, necessitating urgent discussion.

If there truly is some great turmoil, peaceful years of cultivation like these may well be gone forever.”””
