Magic Chef Of Ice And Fire

MCIF Chapter 17.2

Chapter 17.2 – The Mage Association’s Probe

Li De laughed out loud and said, “The matters of those kids is not something we need to meddle in. Let them grow. President, you’re also tired from today.  Let us return early to rest.”

Once Nian Bing got out of Bing Jing’s room, he immediately felt his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. The seven colored precious stones were obviously a useful type of a probing magic item. Fortunately, he didn’t carry the Morning Dew Knife with him. His every action from before had all been a ruse. Bing Jing was unable to deceive him because he had already seen all twelve Worshippers when he was in the Ice God’s Pagoda. How would he forget about them when their appearances had been deeply engraved into his mind. He was lucky in a way since he was able to escape the last probing of the Mage Association.

He returned to his room and retrieved the Morning Dew knife, putting it near his chest. He took off his magic gown and placed it on his bed alongside his Icicle rod. Once again, he left the Mage Association. Perhaps tonight would be his last night at the Pure Wind House. Tomorrow would be a brand new beginning, his debut at the Mage Association.

Early morning, as the first light of the sun rose from the east, Nian Bing had already awoken from his meditation. The few books on the foundation of magic weren’t read in vain. It caused his understanding of magic to deepen as he cultivated diligently throughout the night. Unfortunately, there was no progress on the theory underlying the source of his fire and ice magic. However, his magic control was better. Right now, what he needed the most was to upgrade his magic power. In fact, he needed to use his spirit force and blend it together with the magic power of the source of his fire and ice magic. It would bring out an enormous power. Nian Bing firmly believed that when he is able to combine fire and ice together, the magic power brought forth wouldn’t be as simple as one plus one equals two. On the continent, he should be the first fire and ice dual mage. If so, why not create a type of magic that only belonged to him?

When he walked out of his room, Uncle Li hadn’t awaken yet. Nian Bing looked at the area occupied by the Pure Wind House and couldn’t help but sigh. ‘It looks like there are no more cooking skills left to pursue here.’ Top-notch cooking skills, second-rate magic, that was what described the current him. Perhaps, right now, the Mage Association was more suitable for him. At least, he would have more useful things to learn.

While he thought about it, Nian Bing walked to the firewood house. He picked up the firewood blade and, with lightning fast speed, he chopped down the firewood. Although it only needed to be hacked into eight pieces, he was so concentrate with his thoughts that, out of habit, he gradually chopped the firewood into more and more pieces. Nian Bing always believe he could handle his own matters alone. He knew that what he had started, he had to finish. Although he had already decided to leave, he still had to do his work properly on this last day of work. The firewood blade lifted above him appeared alive to the point the image of the blade almost couldn’t be seen. Nian Bing only needed to use his left hand to cut the firewood’s sides and it was naturally chopped into eight pieces.

Uncle Li walked out from his room and was facing Nian Bing’s back who was cutting firewood at that time. He couldn’t help but slightly smile as he thought, ‘This young man is truly diligent. It’s just dawn, but he’s already busy working.’ As he walked next to Nian Bing and saw the firewood blade’s afterimages, Uncle Li couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. The work quota for one day had already been 70% done by Nian Bing.

Nian Bing knew that Uncle Li was next to him. However, he didn’t stop what he was doing. While he was chopping firewood, he calmly said, “Uncle Li, chopping firewood is not just a task. If you concentrate while doing it, you can acquire unexpected results. Firewood is an inanimate object, but people are alive. What do you think?”
