SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 162: Origin Flame

Administration Hall of Healing Sun Peak…

While leaning on the wooden table, peak master Shreya is seriously reading a letter personally written by the Yang family patriarch.

From The Esteemed Su Yang the Seven, Patriarch of the Yang Family,

"I am writing to formally request the immediate presence of a disciple named Kent at the Yang family residence. We understand the value and importance of the healing sun's peak consent for his departure. I will offer substantial compensation in the form of rare and valuable resources for his services. Please ensure that Kent is sent without any delay.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding."

Warmest regards,

Su Yang, the Seven,

Patriarch of the Yang family.

Peak Master Shreya's worried expression for Amelia soon changed into a frown after reading the contents of the letter.

"Why… Why… Why…???!!!" One single word reverberated in her thoughts.

"How is Princess Amelia? Is her condition stable?" Peak Master Shreya asked the family member of the Yang family who brought the letter.

"Esteemed Master, I'm bound by the orders of the patriarch. I can't reveal any details. I will leave if you command the disciple named Kent to come with me. The patriarch is very serious in this matter." The family member replied in a respectful tone without lifting his head.

Peak Master Shreya fell into a thought after hearing his reply. Till now, she is frustrated by the absurd request of women for Kent. But now, her frustration has turned into worry. She is worried about Kent's safety, as the Yang family patriarch is an eccentric person.

The administration's old lady also stood in utter shock after hearing Kent's name from the Yang family envoy.

"Esteemed Master, is there any problem?" The Yang family envoy asked with a doubtful gaze.

Peak Master Shreya sighed deeply before leaning back on the chair. "The disciple named Kent is not present at the Healing Sun peak at the moment. I don't know when he will come back. So, please stay in the visitor's hall until he comes back."

Shreya declared, standing up from her seat. She still needs to handle the prominent family woman who were making a scene in the outer hall.

Inside the dimly lit cave, the fire crystals placed in the burning lotus formation died down. The shadow of the Fire God statue receded. Finally, Kent regained his consciousness. As he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze moved onto the statue of the Fire God.

While Peak Master Porus is closely observing, Kent stood up from the center of the burning lotus formation. He slowly walked towards the statue of the Fire God.

Fixing his gaze on the Fire God statue, Kent stretched his hands wide and channeled his aura. Soon, his gauntlets were engulfed in the bright orange-coloured flames.

Changing his stance, Kent began making strange gestures, mimicking the Fire Shadow dance he witnessed during awakening.

"T-that's…!! O-Origin fire forms...!" Porus muttered as he staggered back. He almost lost his balance and slipped onto the side wall.

As Kent continued to change his gestures, an orange flame surrounded him, taking the form of a burning lotus around his waist.

"Did he already gain major success in fire elemental dao...?" Peak Master Porus while staring at the burning lotus fire, playing around Kent.

On the outside world, the sun faded, turning the world pitch black. Inside the cave, only Kent's outline is glowing with burning fires.

Time passed slowly, and soon Kent almost exhausted his aura energy. The burning fires were extinguished, and Kent slowly came back to his normal self. Porus hurriedly reached Kent to support him.

"I… I saw the fire god." Kent uttered in a weak tone.

"I know," Porus said while supporting Kent. Soon he brought Kent out of the cave and helped him drink a few superior refreshing potions.

"Master, did I reach small success in Fire elemental Dao?" Kent asked Porus while standing with the support of his Fire Kirin.

"You did better than that. You have the rare opportunity to reach the perfect Fire Dao. Here, take these fire crystals. These will help you improve your Dao insights." Porus replied, passing a large number of fire crystals, which were similar to small sea shells in crimson red color.

"Master, I already have better-quality fire crystals." Kent tried to deny as Zambu, the Fire Kirin gave a lot of volcanic Fire Crystals, but Porus dropped everything in Kent's hands.

"Take rest tonight. Tomorrow, I will teach you inheritance asthra." Porus said while patting Kent's shoulder.

After exchanging a few more words, Kent bowed his head and left the rising sun peak on Fire Kirin. The serpent beast, with a glowing back, followed Kent silently.

Leaning forward on Fire Kirin, Kent closed his eyes. Even though the vitality potion is slowly taking effect inside the body, he has not fully recovered from the exhaustion.

The Fire Kirin slowly landed before his residence on Healing Sun Peak. Kent lazily got up from its back and slowly opened his eyes.

"Uhhmmm…" Kent stammered back in surprise. Close to him, Sophia stood with a grim face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kent asked lazily while getting down from his Fire Kirin.

"Where did you go? I've been searching for you since afternoon." Sophia asked with a serious face.

"I went to meet my friend from my home town. Is something wrong?" Kent covered his story simply and without any perplexity.

"Then why did you ignore my communication requests? Do you know how worried I am?" Sophia questioned seriously, with a bit of upset in her tone.

"Sorry… I got carried away. Tell me what's wrong, you seem to be very upset." Kent asked while approaching her closely.

"Don't come close to me. You created a lot of trouble. Do you know how many disciples were suffering because of you? Even Master also got affected." Sophia turned away with a grim face.

Instead of worrying, Kent hugged her from behind and placed his head beside her. "Now tell me what happened exactly. You also know that I won't ignore you if it is not necessary. So, stop being an angry girl and explain to me what happened." Kent said in a calm tone while pecking on her cheeks.

A sweet smile formed on Sophia's grim face. She closed her eyes while enjoying the pecking sensation on her dimples.

"People are calling you a pleasure doctor. It seems they are not wrong." Sophia replied with a giggling laugh.

"What P-Pleasure doctor?!!!"
