Chapter 39

Austin had separated the sea of fire from the magic core power plant, but that did not mean that the fire had disappeared.

Looking at the raging flames, it would take a long time for them to finish burning alone.

“My fire-controlling ability has already reached level 3. It’s time to try something new.

“Like… compress these flames to the limit.”

Austin’s eyes flickered.

He was a man of action. He would act on it as soon as he thought of something complete as quickly as possible.

There were four tier-four magisters in the city.

They were respectively stationed at the east, west, south, and north of the city.

Under normal circumstances, they would not leave the city defense unless it was an emergency.

However, the massive fire at the magic core power plant was enough to mobilize them.

Austin intended to dispose of the fire that affected the entire industrial facility before the tier-four magisters arrived.

“I’ll keep on compressing this sea of fire!”

Austin crossed his hands and used his fire control ability to gather the surrounding flames into his palms.

The massive sea of fire rapidly collapsed inward like a receding tide.

“Not enough, not enough!”

Austin’s eyes widened as he pressed his palms.

Flames rolled in from all directions, gathering between Austin’s hands.

Under Austin’s compression, the sea of fire that was bigger than a football field had shrunk to the size of a basketball.

At first glance, it looked like a pocket version of an artificial sun!

“Compress some more!”

Austin grabbed the artificial sun-like fireball with both hands and pressed his palms together again, continuously compressing the size of the fireball.

The flamboyant flames calmed down under extreme compression.

The fireball continued to shrink.

The color changed from orange to yellow, then white, and then blue.

Finally, it was reduced to the size of a ping pong ball.

The color had also turned blueish white. It was as calm as a crystal, without the slightest bit of the blazing heat and wildness of flames.

Still, anyone could imagine what kind of terrifying power could erupt from this blue ping pong ball.

“Not enough! To the limit!”

Austin gritted his teeth and continued to compress.

The veins on his arms bulged out. Under the constant pressure, his fire control and fire resistance ability managed to increase to level 4!

Fire Control Level 4!

Instantly, Austin felt that he obtained a microscopic level of control.

Even though it was just a momentary illusion, Austin was already one step closer to microscopic control.

Using the Lv4 fire control ability, he finally compressed the fire further and turned it into a blueish-purple crystal.

A fiery pearl the size of a thumb!

No one knew the level of damage such a pearl could cause once it exploded.

“Who would’ve imagined that I got another trump card after a freak combination of factors.”

“This pearl shall be called the Extreme Mini Sun.”

Austin put away the Extreme Mini Sun in satisfaction.

Suddenly, Austin looked towards the south.

“The tier-four magister of the southern city district is here.”

Austin’s eyes flashed, and he immediately flew toward his home.

His combat uniform had burnt to ashes, so he could only go home and change to a new set of clothes.

He could not possibly go to the hotel in this state.

Not long after Austin left, a middle-aged man wearing a green cloak appeared in the sky above the power plant.

“Hmm? That person left quite quickly. Could he be an unknown tier-four magister who lived in seclusion in the city?

“He’s quite good at restraining his aura. I didn’t even catch the direction he went.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed as he muttered to himself.

Little did this tier-four magister of the southern district know that Austin did not enter the magister realm and was only an “ordinary person”. What powerful aura could he have?

The Liboli Hotel. Top-floor restaurant.

It was past seven o’clock, and Austin had not shown up.

“Austin, you despicable man! You didn’t even pick up the magick communicator or reply to my messages. How dare you stand me up!”

Hika tugged at her handkerchief angrily.

Since when had she ever waited for anyone?

Everyone else had always waited for her!

It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask someone else out, but she got stood up.

How could Hika not be angry?

An effeminate rich second-generation heir with dark circles under his eyes stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Hika.

“Miss Hika, it seems your companion has failed to arrive.

“In that case, may I have the honor of inviting you to have dinner together?”

“Get lost!”

Hika, who was in a bad mood, shouted at the playboy mercilessly.

The other rich kids who wanted to approach her froze and rubbed their noses, not daring to step forward.

Right now, they only had one thought in mind. They were curious who would dare to make the iceberg beauty wait for so long.

After a while, the entrance to the penthouse restaurant welcomed a tall man with tousled hair and a white suit.

He tidied up his hair as he walked, but he got stopped by a waiter at the entrance.

The waiter looked at the man wearing a suit that seemed rather cheap and said expressionlessly,

“I’m sorry, sir. This is the VIP dining room of Liboli. You can’t enter.”

He changed into the suit he bought to attend his sister’s graduation ceremony and rushed over.

Austin did run here, but this time he controlled the run to the point that he would not tear his shoes or clothes.

Austin peered into the dining room. “I have an appointment with Miss Hika.”

“Miss Hika? Miss Hika asked you here?”

The waiter froze, eyeing Austin suspiciously.

Austin was very handsome and belonged to the sunny type.

On top of that, Austin had a majestic and manly figure.

However, Austin looked different from fitness trainers. He was more like a mountain, steady and imposing.

So this is Miss Hika’s type?

The waiter was intrigued. He had to admit that Austin was charming.

So what? He’s still a poor man.

The waiter thought jealously.

He had been working in high-end places for a long time, which somehow made him feel superior.

The funny thing was, he looked down on others but forgot that he was just a worker.
