Chapter 179: Fire Mage, Blazing Prairie!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

"I didn't expect even Liu Hongyun to show up." Tian Yi said earnestly, "Liu Hongyun is a fire-attribute mage and is already in her fourth year. If she can reach the Diamond tier before graduation, her future prospects will be immense."

"After all, being a fire-attribute mage, her future prospects are truly exceptional."

"The border regions hold fire-attribute mages in very high regard."

Gongsun Lianxi remarked, "Senior Tian Yi, you shouldn't envy her. With a powerhouse like you, capable of cultivating the Vajra physique to such a degree, your future prospects will certainly not be low."

Tian Yi, however, humbly replied, "Forget it. A class like mine can only serve as a bodyguard unless I undergo trials on the battlefield. Unless a physical combat master can teach me and combine it with the Vajra physique to achieve some level of mastery, but regardless, all of that requires money. A true master of physical combat is simply too rare."

Hearing Tian Yi's explanation, Gongsun Lianxi said, "Why doesn't senior come to our Gongsun family after graduation? I will find a physical combat tutor for you, and in return, you can act as a guard for our family. The contract will be for five years; after that, if senior wishes to stay, you may remain, and if you wish to leave, I guarantee the Gongsun family will never forcibly detain you."

"Forget it, not interested." Tian Yi waved his hand. He knew Gongsun Lianxi meant well, and of course, familial interests played a part, but those were minor details.

"We'll talk about the future when it arrives. I still prefer a bit more freedom."

Gongsun Lianxi smiled and said, "No problem. If senior ever fancies it, just contact me later. The Gongsun family always welcomes young talents like senior."

"Rest assured, if I ever find myself unable to make a living in the future, I will come seek refuge with junior—provided you don't chase me out when the time comes."

"Never, never! If senior wishes to come, I will certainly welcome you with open arms."

......

On the arena stage, Lin Han spoke up, "Senior sister, it seems we won't be able to keep chatting. Since that's the case, junior will make the first move!"

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Han lunged forward in a piercing charge!

The opponent's true strength and abilities were still unclear, so this punch was intended as a test!

Liu Hongyun walked forward with a beaming smile, an alluring red mage robe materializing around her body. In an instant, blazing fire-attribute energy surged and expanded across her surroundings!

"A fire-mage!" Feeling this wave of energy, Lin Han made his assessment instantly.

A Platinum-tier powerhouse!

Even so, Lin Han did not halt his advance. If this was the extent of her power, he still had nothing to fear!

"Spring is like the lingering warmth of a fierce sun, summer like a raging, violent flame."

"Blazing fires of hell that burn without end, hear my summons and descend upon this scarred mortal realm—Purgatorial Prairie Fire!"

Following Liu Hongyun's incantation, streams of fire erupted from behind her, surging toward Lin Han like a rising tide!

High-tier magic! Purgatorial Prairie Fire!

"How is anyone supposed to dodge this?!" For a moment, Lin Han was at a loss. This overwhelming sheet of flame consumed the entire arena, rolling toward him like a monstrous ocean tide.

The air! Right!

Jump into the air right now!

Realizing this, Lin Han leaped straight up. His elemental control was not yet refined enough to match the fire element, and if he allowed himself to be engulfed, his Burial of the Dharmakaya robe could indeed withstand it.

However, if a Legendary-tier equipment piece were exposed, it would undoubtedly draw the jealousy of countless people. Even within the Changqi Academy, he did not believe everyone here was purely benevolent.

Sometimes, these people could be even more malicious and despicable.

"Junior, do you really think jumping into the air will save you?" Liu Hongyun smiled faintly, then softly chanted, "Seductive flames that thrive deep within the abyss, I command you to answer my call! Become my raging inferno and pulverize all who stand in my way!"

"Hellfire from Above!"

Lin Han's brows knitted tight as he vaguely sensed a surge of magical fluctuations gathering directly above him. When he looked up to inspect, countless bolts of celestial fire were plunging downward!

There was no escaping it!

Lin Han hurriedly shielded his face as fireball after fireball slammed relentlessly into his body!

Boom!

Lin Han crashed heavily down onto the ground!

"Lin Han, are you alright?"

"Brother Han, how is your condition? If you truly can't win, just concede. Losing to a senior sister is no disgrace."

"Don't push yourself, Lin Han. The opponent's mastery over fire-magic is terrifyingly strong."

"Junior Lin Han, how are you holding up? Don't scare us like this!"

The others anxiously shouted words of concern while the rest of the audience erupted into a frenzy.

"As expected of Senior Liu Hongyun! To cast two spells in such rapid succession—in a duel, probably only Senior Liu Hongyun possesses such seamless transition speed."

"Incredible! The transition between those two skills was utterly textbook."

"Truly worthy of Senior Liu Hongyun! I love you, senior!"

"Senior, can you please have dinner with me? Go on a date with me, senior!"

"That punk Lin Han actually thought he could beat Senior Liu Hongyun—what sheer delusion. Teach him a proper lesson, senior, and let these freshers know that Changqi Academy isn't a place where they can run amok!"

Facing the roaring tide of cheers and jeers, Lin Han climbed back up from the ground and dusted off the debris. A mid-tier spell followed by a high-tier spell had depleted his shield by nearly ten thousand points.

With his shield value combined with his health pool totaling nearly a hundred million, he didn't care about a mere ten thousand at all. Even if they managed to drain this little girl dry, it would be impossible for her to inflict a hundred million points of damage.

After all, given the level gap, a monstrous piece of equipment like the Burial of the Dharmakaya made Lin Han feel a bit absurd himself.

Still, since it belonged to him, he chose not to dwell on it.

Liu Hongyun looked somewhat surprised, her brows furrowed tightly as she said, "You took two of my spells head-on and sustained no injuries at all."

"I healed up," Lin Han chuckled lightly. "Did you not know my class is a priest? Minor injuries like these are just a walk in the park."

"Keep going, senior. High-tier magic like that must take a heavy toll on your mana reserves."

"That first spell was undoubtedly high-tier, but the second one was reduced to mid-tier. You must have been afraid that if two high-tier spells failed to finish me off, it would easily force you into a passive state."

"If I guessed correctly, senior's current mana pool shouldn't be enough to cast another high-tier spell."

Hearing Lin Han's words, a chill ran through Liu Hongyun's heart. She thought to herself, "Is this guy really a freshman? How can he speak with such absolute conviction and composure? This kind of battlefield observation and analytical acumen is simply not something a newly advanced class holder should possess."
