Water Mage in the Flame Realm

"You... you... how did you do it, Mr. Andrew?"

Linda slowly asked.

Her voice was unavoidably a bit dry!

She couldn't see the "Flowing Water Spirit" in the state of "Invisible Enchantment", so naturally, she couldn't see the instant fusion of water and fire.

So from Linda's perspective, what just happened could be summed up in the simplest terms as—

Andrew intervened.

And the wounded... got better!!

"But wasn't it just a 'let's try'?"

Linda was so shocked that she was at a loss for a moment.

Thinking to herself, are young people nowadays all so modest and low-key?

Saying "I'll just try," and with that one try, he healed one of our most critical patients?!

She didn't know that when Andrew said 'try', he really just meant to try!

He just wanted to replenish the patient's physical ability a bit!

What happened afterward was also a surprise to Andrew!

"How did you do it?" Linda asked again.

At this moment, her gaze at Andrew was entirely like the way she looked at her teacher, the head of the medical team under the Warm Fire Commerce Association.

"This..." Faced with that gaze, Andrew couldn't help but get a bit troubled.

Because not only Linda, but the whole floor of the Warm Fire Temple had also gradually quieted down at some point.

Many of the medical team members had taken turns looking after the patient in recent days, and the dying wail of that "Sulfur Fire Insect" naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The crowd thought the patient's condition had drastically worsened, only to find that not only hadn't it worsened but had actually improved!?

They also wanted to ask, "How did you do it??"

Sometimes overly high expectations can be an immensely heavy pressure.

Andrew certainly could see that: under the leadership of Linda, the medical team members now completely regarded him as a hidden medical master, a super genius young prodigy.

Though being looked at with such eyes certainly made one feel a bit elated.

But Andrew was still very clear-headed! After thinking for a while, he still decided that it was not right to pretend to be something you're not. After all, if you blow up a balloon too much, it will only end in bursting without any other outcome.

More importantly, the strange sixth sense brought by Water Spirit Sensing seemed to be telling him: even if Water and Fire United is real, this inheritor of the Water Mage lineage, even if there is some connection with the Warm Fire Commerce Association, should not reveal his identity easily!

At least not now!

"Leader Linda, please don't look at me like that." Andrew said with a wry smile, "I... I actually don't know what happened either..."

Linda listened, couldn't help but take a deep look at Andrew, nodded, and said, "Hmm, understood, Mr. Andrew is hiding his true strength, understood, understood." She turned and told all the medical team members, "You all heard Mr. Andrew didn't do anything, didn't you? Whoever goes out and blabs, let's see if I don't destroy him!!" Saying this, the murderous aura was palpable, truly living up to her name as a Violent Angel.

She obviously believed that Andrew must have some unspeakable reason for not wanting to easily reveal his strength.

To this end, Linda showed full respect!

After "threatening" all the medical team members present, she turned back to Andrew, making a "got it! understood! relax!" expression.

Andrew: "..."

Knowing that no matter how he explained that "it's really not my credit," Linda wouldn't believe it and would continue to give him that "I understand" response,

He then shifted the topic: "Can you let me see other patients in difficult situations?" thinking that maybe the strange Water and Fire United phenomenon was just a coincidence, unlikely to happen again. Thus, treating some more patients would prove—it's really not my awesomeness, right?

Andrew's idea was to prove he wasn't amazing, and while replenishing the patients' physical abilities, to test again if the Water and Fire United phenomenon was reproducible. If it was not reproducible, then maybe it really was just a fluke just now, meaning nothing.

But Linda misunderstood this as Andrew the great being willing to continue helping out the Warm Fire Temple.

So, she waved her hand, saying, "Quick, bring all our most critical patients to Mr. Andrew for... this... physical replenishment!!"

Andrew quickly said, "No, no need to bring them here, you can just take me over to see them one by one."

Soon, under Linda's guidance, Andrew had seen almost all the severe cases in the Warm Fire Temple.

For each patient, Andrew used the same technique: the invisible Flowing Water Spirit intervened, either merging with or activating the effect of the "Fire God's Blessing Series" already at work within the patient.

He intended to prove with his actions: it's really not my brilliance.

The result, however, was without exception, his intervention significantly improved the conditions of those severe patients!!

Seeing Linda and several accompanying medical team members almost ready to kneel down to him,

Andrew couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

Thinking to himself, damn... was it really effective every time I intervened? Could the Water Priestess Series and the Fire God Blessing Series be like the relationship between Ancient Tomb Swordsmanship and Quanzhen Swordsmanship? Opposing yet complementing each other, you thought Water Overcomes Fire, but it's actually Water and Fire United, Dual Swords Unite?!

And just like that, busy until late at night.

Upon leaving the Warm Fire Temple, Andrew realized the fire-extinguishing values he'd gained couldn't be adequately described even using the phrase "filled to the brim."

Of course, both the fire-extinguishing values and having a notebook filled with various fire injury symptoms and standard treatment methods weren't the biggest gains from the nearly full day spent at the Warm Fire Temple.

The biggest gain was that Andrew completely confirmed: regardless of what connection or relation exists between the Warm Fire Commerce Association and the Water Mage, his "Water Priestess Series" and "Fire God's Blessing Series" are indeed a pair of complementary magic.

Yes, "complementary" was the most fitting description Andrew could come up with.

During the treatment process, Andrew gradually discovered that: the Flowing Water Spirit corresponds to the Life Fire Spirit, both are Tier Three magic, they can blend, and are a complementary pair.

And if they weren't complementary, the phenomenon produced wouldn't be blending but mutual promotion and stimulation.

This Flame Realm clearly has its secrets.

There must have been a series of major events in the past that led to the disappearance of the Water Mages and the current abnormal pattern and appearance of the Flame Realm.

After having some contact with Mountains and Seas, Andrew had already secretly decided: he must find out what really happened back then!

Originally, he hadn't planned to rush in investigating because he didn't think he could quickly access the related secrets.

"Now it seems, this trip to the Warm Fire Temple itself might be an opportunity to explore," Andrew thought to himself.
