Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 553 Celebrating Levia's Victory

On the day of the party, Levia walked into the bar and instantly felt an awkward atmosphere of excessive attention. Everyone was staring at him, as if he was a rare exhibit on display. Although the lights in the bar were dim, the eager gazes made him feel like a magic light bulb on the stage.

"Hey, Levia!" A voice came from the corner of the bar. It was his good friend Cole. "Come here, there's a seat here!" Cole waved at him, while squeezing out an apprentice who was enthusiastically introducing his "exclusive magic refining secret recipe" next to him.

Levia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat next to Cole: "Brother, thank you for saving my life. This group of people is so enthusiastic that I can't stand it."

Cole smiled and handed him a glass of light green drink. "This is today's special drink - 'Fountain of Winners'. Drinking it will clear your mind for a while. There are absolutely no side effects."

Levia looked at the strangely colored drink suspiciously, smelled it, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he raised the cup and took a sip. As soon as he drank it, his expression froze immediately. The taste of this drink... is like a mixture of herbal soup and volcanic ash!

"Cole!" Levia almost spit out, "Are you sure this thing has no side effects?"

Cole laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, man, this is to celebrate your big win! You'll get used to it after a few more sips."

Levia looked helplessly at the liquid in the cup that was still glowing green, and secretly vowed that she would never drink anything Cole handed to her easily again.

After the party, Levia thought he could finally go back to his quiet little house and have a good rest. However, this was just a beautiful fantasy. Ever since he won the duel, his daily life was no longer peaceful.

He had just walked into the library of the magic academy, ready to look up some information on curses, but found that wherever he went, there was a group of students following him, each holding a notebook, their eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

"Master Levia, what is your secret to victory?" A student stepped forward bravely, his eyes full of anticipation.

Levia sighed slightly and thought, "The secret is to not let your opponent beat you up." But of course he didn't say that. He cleared his throat and answered as seriously as possible, "Well, the secret is to focus, stay calm, and be good at taking advantage of your opponent's weaknesses."

After hearing his answer, the students nodded one after another, as if they had received some crucial revelation. Levia felt helpless. Although these words seemed profound, he himself felt that they were a bit empty.

That's not all. In the following week, various versions of the "Levia Legend" began to circulate in the academy. Some said he meditated for a whole day before the duel, some said he drank a secret potion that could increase his magic power, and some said he made a deal with an abyss demon and gained powerful strength.

"Ha, these people really have a vivid imagination." Levia shook her head, not knowing how to respond to these strange rumors.

As the winner of the duel, Levia was soon invited by the academy to give a small lecture to some junior students. This was definitely a test for him - he was not good at public speaking and did not like to be the focus of attention.

On the day of the lecture, Levia stood on the podium, facing a room full of students. He took a deep breath and planned to start from the most basic magic theory. However, the students were obviously not very interested in the theory, they were more concerned about Levia's "battle skills".

"Master Levia, may I ask how you evade your opponent's attacks so flexibly during a duel? Your dodging skills are truly amazing!"

Levia secretly held his forehead. He didn't expect these students to be so direct. However, he decided to be honest and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no special technique. The key is... running fast enough."

The whole class burst into laughter, and the students were obviously very satisfied with this humorous answer. Levia did not expect that his unintentional joke would actually ease the atmosphere, and he even began to enjoy this relaxed teaching method.

A few days later, as the heat of the duel gradually faded, Levia's life slowly returned to normal. He continued to study and practice diligently in the academy, and was occasionally stopped by some curious students, but he learned to deal with this situation with short answers.

What satisfied him most was that he could return to his favorite quiet corner and read those profound books on curses. Although he became the "star" of the academy, Levia knew that true power did not come from a momentary victory. All this was brought by Xingluo. He admired Xingluo more and more. A few words from him could benefit him a lot. He had reached a very high level of understanding of the origin of magic. As he continued to study in depth, he felt more and more insignificant and felt the essential gap between him and Xingluo.

One night, Levia sat alone in the garden of the college, looking up at the starry sky, feeling a rare peace in his heart. Although he had experienced many accidents and jokes during this period, he still learned a lot of valuable experience.

"Perhaps, this is the true meaning of victory." He smiled and said to himself, then continued to open the book in his hand, quietly enjoying this moment of peace.

Levia knew that no matter how many challenges were waiting for him in the future, he would face them with the same calmness and humor. After all, to become a powerful magician, like his teacher Xingluo, it takes not only strength, but also wisdom, persistence, and a little sense of humor.

As time goes by, Levia's strength gradually stabilizes in the Obsidian School of Magic, but he also knows that he still has a long way to go. Every battle is an experience, and every opponent is his grindstone. Only by constantly learning and growing in battle can he truly become a strong man standing at the top of the abyss.

Standing on the top of the academy tower, Levia looked at the endless darkness in the distance, his eyes were firm and full of determination. He knew that the road ahead was still full of dangers and challenges, but he was ready to meet every new opponent and challenge.

Xingluo didn't care much about the outcome of this academy battle. For him now, leaving the abyss, improving his strength and becoming a great magician were the top priorities. He had now seen a chance for a breakthrough through summoning. Although he had only constructed his past self in the magic circle, it was incredible enough. This was the horror of the power of time and space. If he could summon his future self, his strength would be even stronger.
