## The Magic Temple Arena

Silence fell over the Magic Temple Arena rest area as two competitor numbers appeared on the luminous dome screen.

The first number displayed was sixty-one, which was unremarkable, but the second number was one.

Number one. Number one was about to compete.

In the Six Great Temples Selection Competition preliminaries, the first ten numbers were reserved for participants of the fifth rank or higher. If there weren’t enough people to fill those spots, the single-digit numbers would be left vacant. The appearance of number one meant that the first match on the third day of the competition would feature a fifth-rank Magician.

A young woman, seemingly in a daze, rose from the rest area and walked towards the arena. She was the unfortunate competitor number sixty-one.

In the first row, Lin Xin, clad in a fiery red magic robe, slowly stood up. Indeed, number one was him.

Lin Xin was already handsome, but his long, ink-green hair cascading down his back to his waist was particularly striking.

His fiery red magic robe emanated an incredibly dense aura of fire element. The magicians present could almost feel the fire element dancing joyfully on the robe.

Countless golden runes were inscribed across the robe. As Lin Xin moved, these golden patterns flowed with light, as if they were alive.

Lin Xin turned, ran his fingers through his hair at the sides of his face, and gave the competitors behind him an elegant and composed smile. His confidence and composure made some of the female magicians’ hearts beat faster.

Only then did Lin Xin slowly step out. As he walked towards the arena, a dense fire element began to rise around his body. This wasn’t because he was using magic, but because his magic robe seemed to have activated some effect.

He raised his right hand and made a beckoning gesture in the air. The dense fire element in the air, as if finding its source, instantly gathered in his hand. Drops of fiery red liquid fell downwards, gradually forming a bizarre crimson-gold staff in the air.

The staff wasn’t large, but the moment it appeared, the entire Magic Temple Arena seemed to be permeated with a thick fire attribute aura.

Too powerful. Was this the strength of a Magician? The competitors couldn’t help but hold their breath as they watched Lin Xin proudly walk into the arena, some with envy, some with jealousy, but most with fear.

Without a doubt, this number one competitor was a fire-type magician, and judging by his demeanor, he had truly mastered the rules of fire.

The sixty-one-numbered girl’s face looked pale. She felt her luck was really bad, not only encountering a fifth-rank powerhouse, but this fifth-rank competitor was likely the strongest participant in the Magic Temple competition. The overwhelming fire attribute aura had already destabilized her mind.

The referee was an elderly man. According to the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition rules, when a fifth-rank competitor participated in the competition, the referee had to be a seventh-rank powerhouse.

He glanced at Lin Xin. “Stop showing off. You must not use any skills before I announce the start of the match, including the amplifying abilities of your equipment.”

“Yes, as you wish.” Lin Xin smiled slightly, the golden-red light in his hand converged, and he sighed softly, muttering to himself: “I didn’t want to use the staff originally, but if that’s the case, then I’ll use it.”

Hearing his words, the face of the girl opposite him immediately became even more unsightly, even cursing the referee for being nosy. He was already so strong, using a staff would only make him even more powerful!

A flash of red light, and a staff quietly appeared in Lin Xin’s hand. To be precise, it couldn’t even be called a staff. It was just a strangely shaped fiery red crystal.

The crystal was about half a zhang long (approximately 5 feet), with the thickest part about the diameter of a fist. The overall shape was slightly twisted, with no resemblance to a staff, and no inlays.

However, the referee who had just reprimanded Lin Xin, now widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed, “Such a large Fire Cloud Crystal! You’re going to use this to make a staff?”

Lin Xin smiled slightly, as if he was holding something very ordinary. “I just bought it a few days ago and haven’t had time to find a master to carve it. I’ll just make do with it for now. Fire Cloud Crystal isn’t exactly a top-tier material, but the effect of condensing fire element is not bad, right?”

The referee’s face changed repeatedly, cursing inwardly, *too extravagant, this kid is too extravagant.*

Fire Cloud Crystal was not a magic crystal, but a natural mineral crystal that contained extremely pure and condensed fire element. It could only be found deep within magma that had been soaking for over a thousand years.

Even a chicken egg-sized piece of Fire Cloud Crystal, inlaid on any staff, could easily become a spirit-level fire-attribute equipment. Lin Xin was holding such a long piece. Even without carving or any magic arrays inscribed, this staff could amplify his spirit power by one time. This was already at the level of glorious equipment. If he could find a powerful magician to inscribe magic arrays, then this Fire Cloud Crystal even had the chance to become a legendary staff.

The entire staff was made of Fire Cloud Crystal! What kind of concept was that? This thing couldn’t be bought even if you had money, and the market value was at least 500,000 gold coins.

The sixty-one-numbered girl opposite Lin Xin now had a blank look in her eyes. She was a dual-type magician, specializing in wind and fire magic. Her staff also had a Fire Cloud Crystal, but it was only the size of a fingernail, and on the other side was inlaid a wind spirit crystal of the same size.

Looking at the one in the other’s hand, and then at the one in her own, the sixty-one-numbered girl really wanted to hide her staff.

“The match begins.” The referee, suppressing the desire in his heart for that Fire Cloud Crystal, shouted in a deep voice.

Lin Xin smiled slightly at the girl opposite him and said, “Beauty, how about we discuss something? Magic has no eyes, and I’m not very good at controlling some fifth and sixth-rank magic. It wouldn’t be good if I accidentally hurt you. We are all from the Magic Temple, and as a male, I should have some gentlemanly manners. How about this, I’ll do a simple fire control demonstration, and if you can achieve a similar level, then you win. This will save us from fighting and injuring each other, what do you think?”

Hearing him say this, the girl opposite him obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone could see that the gap between her and Lin Xin was too big.

She hurriedly nodded, and said with a hint of gratitude: “Please guide me, Senior Brother.”

Lin Xin was calm and composed, and a faint magic halo gently fluctuated around his body, carrying the air of a great master.

Glancing at the girl opposite him, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xin’s mouth. He raised the Fire Cloud Crystal in his hand and slowly drew a fiery red circle in front of him.

Although the circle was fiery red, it did not emit any flames, and it was as if it was imprinted in the air, with the fiery red light never dissipating.

Liquid spirit power! Only liquid spirit power can achieve such a spectacle. And judging by his appearance, he clearly had a mastery of liquid spirit power that was as effortless as using his own arms and fingers, definitely not a newcomer who had just entered the fifth rank.

The Fire Cloud Crystal returned to the starting point, and the fiery red circle was completely formed, quietly floating in front of Lin Xin. Suddenly, all the fire attribute aura was completely contained, with no overflow at all. The fiery red color of the circle remained unchanged.

The face of the girl opposite him was already pale. She absolutely could not complete just the scene in front of her. Was it so easy to contain one’s own aura? Moreover, she had to control the spirit power she released so that it wouldn’t dissipate. One must know that Lin Xin was not touching the circle in any way.
