"Congratulations, Fire G.o.d Yang and Ice G.o.d Yin. You are the first ones to have accomplished the Forgotten Desert trial."
With that said, he flicked his sleeve and they were teleported from the Mortal Realm.
As they moved towards the Celestial Palace, Yang could feel his body change. He started to feel his pool of magic within and concluded that it was considerably enlarged compared to before.
If it was in the size of a pea in the past, it was now the size of a pond. The difference was as clear as day. He couldn't hide his excitement and grinned widely.
Even when they landed in front of the Portal of Trials, he was still showing the same excited face. When Yin saw this, she didn't think much of it, since she had already grown accustomed to his childish behaviours.
"Do you feel it, Yin? Our powers have increased tremendously." He lifted his arm and ignited a Fire Ball above his palm.
At the same time, Yin thanked Flash for his service before he left. To show courtesy was common sense after all. Of course, maybe not for the Fire G.o.d.
"Look, Yin! It's green! It's green!" Yang jumped and screamed in joy as he showed the green ball of fire to his partner.
The colour of the fire was an indicator of the level of magical power. Every fire user was born with Red Fire. It could thereafter progress to Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and Black. In the legends, White Fire had also been mentioned but no living being was confirmed of having cultivated to that state.
The farther one had reached, the tougher improvement would become. For such a young Fire G.o.d to have reached the level of Green Fire, was never heard of in the past. Thus it was truly something to celebrate and express happiness over.
Before the trial, he could only manage Orange Fire. That was already an accomplishment and something to be proud of, since the normal age of reaching that stage was at 5000 years. The average age of reaching Green Fire however was around 100 000 years. Now, Yang had even more reasons to be c.o.c.ky.
"I can see that." The Ice G.o.d calmly replied without a hint of emotion. With a simple hand swipe, she changed into a long dress with blue ice flowers on and removed any traces of dirt from her body. Her neck was bare, since the necklace she originally wore had been reduced to dust as they ascended.
Seeing her reaction damped his euphoric state and he let his fire fade. He realized that he still was clad in the dirty rags from the trial and copied Yin's movement. Soon he was dressed in a long fiery red outfit. When he was presentable, he started to grin again.
"Hot and Pot will be so envious!"
Just imagining their silly expressions caused Yang to chuckle. He then thought of his companion and asked her eagerly.
"Yin! How much have your magical powers improved?"
