SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 160: Divine Doctor

Inside the cliff-edge cave, Kent sat silently in the middle of the Burning Lotus formation. The fire crystals were glowing dimly, casting a fiery shadow on Kent's face. The statue of the Fire God stood bravely with a serious expression.

Kent gaze fixed on the tome of paper clothes, which contain insights from Fire Dao by several people. The tome started with the insights of the founding ancestor of the Eternal Sun sect. Even though Kent already gained a basic understanding of Fire Dao, he continued to read the insights for better understanding.

The shadow of the Fire God statue is dancing on Kent's face as Kent experiences a trance reading.

One by one, he turned pages after grasping the insights of every individual. Porus, who sat outside the Burning Lotus formation, continued to stare at Kent curiously. As Kent is turning pages rapidly, Porus rubbed his beard in confusion.

The time passed quickly, and Kent's gaze still fixed on the tome. The morning Guardian Sun had already cast his rays on the distant orange sky. Since last night, Kent hasn't lifted his head from the tome.

"Kent, enough reading, the guardian sun has already rose up, start perceiving the Fire Dao." Porus said in a stern tone, worried that Kent might be lost in varied theories.

'As the saying goes, too many cooks spoil the food, reading too many insights might affect one's understanding of Fire Dao.'

But Kent didn't respond to Porus's command. Shaking his head, Peak Master Porus called out loudly. Still, there is no response from Kent. Wondering about Kent's condition, Porus lit up the cave and stared at Kent with wide, open eyes.

"What is he doing?" Porus muttered while staring at Kent. After careful observation, Porus found that Kent's gaze fixed on the Fire God statue shadow on the tome.

"A-Awakening…?!!!" Porus muttered, removing the light. "But how can he...?" "He didn't even have a small success in fire, Dao…!!!" Porus thoughts raced as he recognized the awakening state of Kent.

When Kent opened his eyes, he was no longer in the dimly lit cave of his sect. Instead, he found himself standing in a vast palace, its walls and floors covered in a sea of flames. The fire didn't burn or consume, rather, it danced around him in a mesmerizing display of power and beauty.

The air was thick with heat, yet he didn't feel any burning feeling or hotness.

Before him, a human shadow, entirely composed of vibrant, crackling fire, moved with an ethereal grace. It danced across the flame-covered floor, each movement fierce yet fluid, embodying the pure essence of fire.

"Isn't he the shadow of the fire god...?!"

Kent watched, transfixed, as the fiery silhouette performed complex martial stances that seemed to command the flames themselves.

Kent felt a rush of energy coursing through him as he observed. It was as if the fire before him communicated directly with his soul, teaching him its secrets. He saw the fire not just as a destructive force but as a source of warmth, energy, and life.

As the shadow leapt high into the air, the flames around it soared too, reaching toward the ceiling in a stunning display of might and majesty.

It landed softly, the flames dissipating into a ring of embers that slowly faded into the air, leaving a serene stillness in their wake.

Kent stood there, his heart pounding and his mind alight. The insights he gained from watching the fire shadow were not merely visual, they pulsed through him like his own heartbeat.

Meanwhile, there is a stark increase in the number of visitors to the Eternal Sun sect. The number of disciples were increased to receive the visitors. As most of these visitors were ladies from prominent families, more servants were assigned to serve them personally. All these people were lining in front of 'outer healing halls' of the sect.

"Zaya, are you sure he can treat my condition?" A lady wearing luxurious jade ornaments and dazzling silk clothes asked the woman beside her who brought her to the Eternal Sun Sect.

"Senior sister Eirene, why would I deceive you? I already showed my healed-up chest. Are you still doubting me?" Zaya, the woman whom Kent treated yesterday evening, replied to Eirene.

As the number of visitors increased, the head servant went to Healing Sun Peak to request more healers.

Healing Sun Peak Administrative Hall...

"What? three hundred visitors…?!" The old lady at administration hall, who issues missions to the disciple, stood up from her seat after listening to the report of the old servant.

"Yes, elder. The count may still increase. All these visitors belong to prominent families, so we can't ask them to leave. Most of them are our sect's regular donors, and we have an obligation to treat them without delay." The head servant lady reported in a worried tone.

The administration elder fell into a thought. After checking a few documents, she began noting down a few names on a separate piece of paper.

"It's okey… I will send a larger number of healers. Until then, take care of their needs." The administration lady replied with a serious face.

"Elder, that won't do. They are here to get treatment from a divine healer. They won't accept normal disciples for their treatment." The head servant lady spoke hesitatingly.

"What divine healer? Don't you know that Peak Master only treats peculiar cases? Also, Peak Master is very busy these days. So, I can only allot some core disciples if possible." The administration lady declared in a stern tone.

"Elder, you misunderstood me. They were not asking for Peak Master. I inquired with a few visitors, most of them are here for a disciple named Kent. Yesterday, he treated several people with rare diseases and they spread his name in the forums as a divine doctor.

The absurd thing is that some women were addressing him as a pleasure doctor." The servant lady explained while whispering the last sentence.

The administration elder's mouth went wide open after hearing the report. She clearly knew who was Kent as she is the one who passed the disciple token to him.
