Why, after only a few months, are you already a Magic Instructor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha was deeply puzzled!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Teacher Martha finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Sister Mengying, the abyss rift just opened, you wouldn't have...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she felt it didn't seem like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Sister Sister Mengying was only second-tier a few months ago; even if she traded with an Abyss Demon God to jump directly from second-tier to sixth-tier, the price to pay would be huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would require the mage to sacrifice many pure souls to achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a mage really chose to do that and gained the power of an Abyss Demon God, there would be more or less some evil aura on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there really were such a mage, they would definitely hide away until a year or two later, when these evil auras were completely hidden, before reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because trading with Abyss Demon Gods is strictly forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a mage has already become a pawn of the Abyss Demon God and will sooner or later fall into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the abyss rift had only just closed not long ago, and Sister Sister Mengying appeared before her; although the aura on her was powerful, it was also open and aboveboard, without a trace of evil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, there was a feeling on her that made one feel warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a trace of a sacred aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Teacher Martha think of another possibility!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Martha, let's go inside and talk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Sister Mengying said to Teacher Martha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha came to her senses, nodded, and said, \"Okay! Seeing you just now, I was too busy being excited; come with me quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha led Sister Sister Mengying and Mia into the mage tower and brought them to the second floor, where there was a small study that could serve as a reception room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a sixth-tier Magic Instructor, Teacher Martha had a high status in the academy; there weren't many people who could be invited by her to the mage tower, and she didn't need a very large reception room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia said, \"Teacher Martha, I am Mia of the Winged-people tribe; my grandfather is Viscount Hawk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's Sir Hawk's granddaughter; I have heard of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha said in a friendly manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some pleasantries, Sister Sister Mengying finally said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Martha, I have already dedicated my faith forever to a great deity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha had actually already guessed it just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, she asked, \"Which one is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Sister Mengying said, \"The great Lord of Flame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord of Flame?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha savored the name of this deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a deity's divine power does not wither, there is no issue of lifespan, so with the accumulation of endless years, the number of deities in the Heavenly Realm is not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha also had some research on the deities of the Heavenly Realm, but she had never heard of the Lord of Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be some new god?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha couldn't help but feel a little worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mages are generally quite cautious about giving away their faith, especially high-tier mages; Teacher Martha still hasn't believed in any deity to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more powerful one is, the more cautious one will be, because powerful mages themselves have the possibility of becoming gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there are also some mages who deliberately believe in deities, even Sanctuary Mages, who want to study the power of faith and the power of gods in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believing in a new god has certain risks, because new gods have the risk of falling; once they fall, the most loyal believers are often dragged down to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, just as Teacher Martha was about to speak, she suddenly thought of the endless flames in the Abyss of Magic Insects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames that completely burned out the Abyss of Magic Insects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after the flames dissipated and those students all left the Abyss of Magic Insects, Teacher Martha did not leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the big hole in the Abyss of Magic Insects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, the Abyss of Magic Insects was burned through by the flames!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning through a layer of the abyss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even special flames would find it difficult to do so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that kind of flame did it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Teacher Martha returned to the Magic Academy, she also received some news: an abyss was sealed by flames, and those flames were intercepting the power of the Abyss Demon Gods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining the two, Teacher Martha felt at the time that those flames must have been sent down by some powerful deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deity who dared to seal an abyss, boldly intercept all Abyss Demon Gods, and dared to be an enemy of the Abyss Demon Gods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flame deity who dared to send power into the abyss, burn out a layer of the abyss, and even burn through it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deity must be exceptionally powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who this deity was, Teacher Martha did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher-ups of the Magic Academy did not know either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, when Teacher Martha heard Sister Sister Mengying's words, she suddenly felt: could the Lord of Flame that Sister Sister Mengying believes in be that powerful deity who sent down the flames to burn the abyss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems only such a deity could allow Sister Sister Mengying to go from second-tier to sixth-tier in just a few months!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Teacher Martha couldn't help but feel a little envious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few months ago, Sister Sister Mengying was still a second-tier mage, and because of her outstanding magic talent, Teacher Martha had always wanted to take her as a disciple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, now Sister Sister Mengying calls her Teacher Martha just because Teacher Martha taught her classes, not a one-on-one master-disciple relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only a few months have passed, and Sister Sister Mengying has actually become a sixth-tier Magic Instructor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Sister Sister Mengying is particularly valued by the Lord of Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Teacher Martha did not continue to press the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking too much about other people's faith is not good behavior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Academy does not forbid students from believing in deities; that would be openly being an enemy of the deities, and the higher-ups of the Magic Academy would not be that stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Sister Sister Mengying has become a Magic Instructor; if she is unwilling to continue staying at the Magic Academy, the Magic Academy has no right to force her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Sister Mengying, your progress is truly great; congratulations, you have caught up to me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Teacher Martha felt a bit emotional, she was also sincerely happy for Sister Sister Mengying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Sister Mengying thanked Teacher Martha and said, \"Teacher Martha, this time I want to purchase a large amount of empty magic stones; I wonder if you can provide me with some help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empty magic stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha repeated, probably unable to think of what Sister Sister Mengying needed empty magic stones for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't pursue it either and said, \"Of course you can; there are many empty magic stones in the Magic Academy's warehouse. How many do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Sister Mengying said, \"As many as there are. Teacher, what is the price of empty magic stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha said, \"Empty magic stones are ten gold coins each outside, and generally only some magic apprentices buy them for testing. You are a student of the Magic Academy, so how about this: I'll take the responsibility and sell them to you for five gold coins each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Teacher Martha's goodwill, Sister Sister Mengying did not stand on ceremony and thanked her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then thank you, Teacher Martha. By the way, I also need to buy ten magic bags.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic bags, space bags; a small bag can hold many things, and the price is quite expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Martha said, \"The academy also has quite a few magic bags, but one costs a thousand gold coins, and those with larger space inside cost tens of thousands of gold coins. Sister Sister Mengying, do you have that many gold coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1471,"2026-06-16T04:58:14.341Z","2026-06-16T06:25:28.214Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","67f22f336afd558a2c8fc09508a8a53c65f8fbef52ed70353bf1937575c0fe15","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-119","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-117",951,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-starting-from-a-flame-cover.jpg"]
