As he dodged the attacks, Lin Tian suddenly had an idea. He tried using the Fire Element Mystery to form small flame vortices around himself. Though these vortices appeared calm, they contained immense power. Whenever Aaron's blade energy approached, the vortices canceled out its force.
"Ha ha, to achieve an insight in the midst of battle—impressive, young friend!" Aaron laughed, recognizing Lin Tian's strength even more.
After his fierce battle with Aaron, Lin Tian gained a deeper understanding of the Fire Element Mystery, and his strength improved further through the fight.
After Porter bade Aaron farewell with Lin Tian, he brought him to a residence with a tall tower.
Porter told Lin Tian that a fire-element Saint Domain mage named Jin En Leo lived there. He was a Saint Domain mage of the same generation as Porter in the Leo Family, and the two were very close.
Jin En possessed an elegant bearing, and a mysterious fiery aura radiated from his body.
"Jin En, I've brought a junior from the family to visit you. I'd like Lin Tian to spar with you," Porter said.
Jin En looked at Lin Tian and said, "Is this your grandson? He's still so young!"
Porter did not hide it from his own clansman. "Lin Tian is my third grandson. He hasn't even come of age yet."
Jin En was greatly shocked, then smiled at Porter. "Lin Tian's talent far surpasses yours!"
"Of course! Just look at who his grandfather is!" Porter bragged.
Jin En was not surprised by Porter's reaction in the slightest.
The three of them then headed to the training ground.
Jin En smiled and nodded at Lin Tian. "Come. I hope you gain something from this spar."
Jin En lightly waved both hands and began chanting a mysterious incantation. In an instant, the space around Lin Tian twisted, and a powerful force swept him into a space made of flames. This
was the Flame Space Mystery Jin En had comprehended. Within this space, Jin En could control flames at will, imprisoning and burning his enemy.
Within the flame space, Lin Tian felt immense pressure. Flames surged toward him from every direction, trying to swallow him whole. He quickly calmed down and began carefully observing the patterns of this flame space.
Through his deep comprehension of the Fire Element Mystery, Lin Tian discovered that although the flames in this space were powerful, they contained subtle energy fluctuations. He focused his mind and followed those fluctuations, cleverly finding a way out within the flame space.
"Not bad. To find the flaw in the flame space so quickly, Lin Tian, you truly are remarkable," Jin En said, then strengthened the flame space.
Lin Tian knew that if he did not break through quickly, he would be trapped here. He pushed the Fire Element Mystery to its limit, transforming into a streak of fiery light and moving freely through the flame space. At the same time, he continuously tried to communicate with the elements within the flame space, attempting to find its weak point.
Amid his intense struggle and exploration, Lin Tian relied on his profound understanding of the Fire Element Mystery to finally find the weak point of the flame space and successfully break through Jin En's flame space.
Seeing Lin Tian break out through the flame space's weak point, Jin En was utterly shocked. He understood that anyone far stronger than him could forcefully shatter the flame space, but breaking out through its weak point required a deep comprehension of the Flame Space Mystery.
Looking at Lin Tian's youthful face, Jin En truly felt that all his years of cultivation had been for nothing.
Lin Tian and Jin En then carefully exchanged their insights into the Mysteries. Afterward, Porter brought Lin Tian back to his residence.
"Lin Tian, you've already gone through several Saint Domain battles today. Get some rest, and sort through what you've gained while you're at it," Porter said.
Although Lin Tian did not feel tired, he did not wish to waste Porter's kindness. He truly needed to organize the insights into the Fire Element Mystery he had gained during the battles, so he returned to his residence to rest.
After breakfast the next day, Porter brought Lin Tian to the residence of a fire-element Saint Domain warrior named Carl, who was already waiting for them. Carl was tall and imposing, exuding a steady yet powerful aura.
"Carl, this is Lin Tian, the junior I told you about yesterday who will be fighting you," Porter introduced.
Carl smiled and nodded. "Young friend Lin Tian, I've been looking forward to this."
After reaching the training ground, Carl held a massive battle-axe whose blade burned with raging flames. She swung the axe fiercely, sending a fiery shockwave imbued with the Fire Element Mystery howling toward Lin Tian. The shockwave was tremendously powerful, igniting blazing flames everywhere it passed.
Lin Tian swiftly used the Fire Element Mystery to condense a sturdy Flame Shield before him. However, Carl's attack was extremely powerful, and the shield was on the verge of collapse beneath the shockwave's impact.
Lin Tian knew that defense alone could not bring victory. He decided to take the initiative, using the Fire Element Mystery to transform himself into a mass of flames as he charged at Carl. The instant he neared her, Lin Tian suddenly changed form, extending a flaming arm from the fire in an attempt to seize Carl's battle-axe.
Seeing this, Carl immediately drew back her battle-axe and launched a series of attacks. Lin Tian nimbly evaded Carl's strikes, constantly searching for an opening in battle.
During the fierce exchange, Lin Tian grew increasingly adept at using the Fire Element Mystery. He began trying to fuse the Fire Element Mystery with all kinds of fire-element spells, making his attacks even more unpredictable.
After an intense battle, both Lin Tian and Carl expressed admiration for each other's strength. This fight deepened Lin Tian's understanding of the Fire Element Mystery and gave him more practical combat experience.
Afterward, Porter brought Lin Tian to visit several other fire-element Saint Domain experts. In every battle, Lin Tian gave his all, deepening his understanding of the Mysteries of the Fire Element, Fire Body Technique, Scorching Heat, Explosion, Flame Space, and more.
When sparring with a fire-element Saint Domain mage named Alice, Alice also specialized in the Flame Space Mystery. She created a Flame Prison she could manipulate at will. Lin Tian struggled continuously within the prison, and through his deep comprehension of the Fire Element Mystery, he discovered that he could use the resonance of fire elements to break the prison's restraints.
When fighting a fire-element Saint Domain warrior named Harold, Harold perfectly fused the Explosion Mystery into his attacks. His assault was as fierce as a storm, and every strike contained terrifying explosive force. As Lin Tian responded, he gradually realized how to cleverly guide fire elements at the moment of attack, making his counterattacks more powerful.
As battle after battle unfolded, Lin Tian's comprehension of the Fire Element Mystery continued to deepen.
He could already skillfully wield the Fire Element Mystery to its utmost limits, completely transforming himself into a Fire Element lifeform and evading many physical attacks.
Moreover, he had comprehended the Fire Element Mystery ability, "Fusion at Will." Based on different combat situations, he could freely alter the shape and power of flames, making himself endlessly unpredictable.
