Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2064 Let me teach you
Zhou Xu noticed Bogner's reaction. He seemed to be telling Wright this funny story, but he was actually telling it to Bogner.

For mages, talent is paramount in cultivation. The fact that Gert has reached this level demonstrates that his talent is beyond doubt. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Saint Realm.

Zhou Xu did this to tell him that "there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding," and that he shouldn't think he was so great, because there were actually many people more capable than him.

"Speaking of which, I'm quite skilled in fire magic. How about we discuss it?"

Upon hearing this, Bogner hadn't reacted yet, but Wright, standing beside him, was clearly stunned.

From Wright's perspective, when this guy was chatting with Elder Harlan just now, he clearly said that he was good at wind magic. How come he turned around and became good at fire magic in the blink of an eye?

Zhou Xu ignored him. As he spoke, he opened his palm and, accompanied by a rapid chanting of incantations, three small fireballs quickly condensed and spun continuously in his palm.

Before Borgner could examine them closely, the three small fireballs smoothly merged into one, coalescing into a larger fireball.

This is actually the same spell, Fire Missile!

However, Zhou Xu had mastered the complete chanting, and through his own control and adjustment, he could perfectly control the size and number of the fire missiles.

He can even control the trajectory of each flame missile.

He had already demonstrated this technique earlier when he had three fire missiles hovering in his palm.

In addition, even after the mantra spell had been condensed, Zhou Xu was still able to merge the three fire missiles into one, which in itself was a manifestation of his powerful control.

What would happen if a normal mage used this move?
Normally, a mage would launch the three fire missiles immediately after completing the incantation and condensing them. The longer they waited, the greater the burden on themselves and the greater the risk of them going out of control.

Not to mention someone like Zhou Xu, who can freely change spells.

While Wright was internally wondering which spell Zhou Xu was good at, Borgner had no reaction because he was completely stunned by Zhou Xu's move.

What terrifying control! The understanding of this mantra spell has probably reached its limit.

Only a mage with a certain level of cultivation could see the power of Zhou Xu's move.

At that moment, the fireball that had been combined into one changed again, as if it had hatched from its shell. Suddenly, the fireball cracked open, and a fire serpent formed from condensed flames emerged from it!
This made Borgner unconsciously widen his eyes.

[It's changed again? No! Even the spells have changed!]

At that moment, Bogner's wide eyes were filled with disbelief.

The mantra spell that has already been cast can actually be switched to another mantra spell?

In Borgner's view, this was already an almost miraculous method.

At the same time, the little fire snake had already broken free from Zhou Xu's palm and was happily swimming around, just like a living creature!
"How...how did they do that?! That's amazing!!"

What Wright couldn't understand at all caused Borgner to lose his composure on the spot.

Zhou Xu didn't even need to say anything more; Bogner's eyes already held an undisguised admiration.

The cultivation of mages is different from that of martial artists. The cultivation of mages is somewhat similar to mathematics. If you don't know it, you just don't know it. No matter how anxious you are, you still won't know it. If someone is better than you, then they are really better than you. There is basically no room for maneuver.

Bogner has just suffered a blow from Hilke and his team, and now is the time for him to strive for improvement.

Now that Zhou Xu had revealed his method, which could be described as a dimensional reduction attack, he was immediately and completely impressed.

This implies a gap that he could not even imagine.

And it was precisely because the gap was so large that he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of comparing himself to Zhou Xu.

"Want to learn? Join the fire mage guild, and I'll teach you."

Upon hearing this, Borgner's mind calmed down somewhat. He didn't really care whether he joined the fire mage group or not, but there were some things that needed to be clarified.

"I'm willing to join the fire mage guild, but I want to be the guild leader."

Borgner's main problem was that he couldn't accept that someone at the peak of the Transcendent Realm was above him.

Zhou Xu agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, from now on, whoever is stronger between you and Geerte will be the captain."

Zhou Xu didn't rule out the possibility of conflict, but instead created a competitive dynamic between them.

At this stage, Bogner is clearly stronger than Geerte, so it is only natural that he should be the captain.

However, if Geert's strength surpasses Bogner's in the future, then the position of captain will return to Geert's hands.

Zhou Xu has always believed that competition leads to progress.

Having a worthy opponent during the growth process is a good thing for both of them.

Of course, Bogner probably didn't realize this at the time.

However, Zhou Xu knew that Borgner and Geerte were basically identical, from their talent of 'fire element affinity' to their advantages of being four stars in both intelligence and spirit.

The only difference is that Bogner's bravery is only two stars, while Gilter's is three stars, and he is also a martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm.

Bogner wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the meaning behind Zhou Xu's words and smiled confidently.

"I accept the challenge!"

That Gilter, who was a latecomer to the path of cultivation, was able to reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm in such a short time, which indeed shows his talent and ability, a point he himself acknowledged.

But don't forget, he has already entered the Saint Realm, while the other party is still stuck at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

The gap was there; in Bogner's view, it would be difficult for his opponent to catch up with him, let alone surpass him.
"So, from now on, Your Majesty, you are willing to be my teacher?"

Bogner, who said this, was now noticeably more respectful. The fact that the other party had suddenly become so obedient made Wright, who was standing next to him, feel a little uncomfortable.

But Zhou Xu was able to understand.

He knew how important it was to have a good teacher on the path of cultivation.

Don't assume that just because the Elven race has the legacy of the Ancient Elven Tree, everything will be fine.

The Trial of the Ancient Tree of Spirits is more like an entrance exam; you have to study hard and master all the knowledge you've learned to pass it.

The learning process is definitely more effective when there is an excellent teacher guiding you than when you bury yourself in your studies.

At the same time, he gradually began to realize that Bogner's personality was probably not like that from the beginning.

The root cause of his personality is probably pressure!

At this stage, there is no one within the Elven race who can guide Bogner. Bogner himself has also hit a bottleneck, unable to find a breakthrough, and encountering problems that he cannot figure out on his own.

This is agonizing for anyone who is ambitious and eager to improve, whether they are a person or an elf, and Zhou Xu is no exception.

Anyone would become irritable if they were in this state for a long time, and someone would always suffer in the process.

This situation was only broken with the appearance of Zhou Xu.
