Andrew’s joy did not last long. Even though his spiritual power was strong enough to allow him to draw a sea of runes shaped by fire endlessly, the gathering of the fire spirit still failed.

Almost 90% of the power of the fire spirit that had spread out in the magic nodes in Andrew’s body had already merged into one. It had even gradually formed the child-like appearance that Andrew had seen in his first attempt to steal the fire elemental world, however, there were still some remnants of energy floating in his magic nodes, unable to fuse.

‘How could this be?’

Andrew was greatly disappointed. He thought for a moment and immediately cast the spell of the flame whip in his hand. Then, he continued to probe his magic nodes. Very quickly, he realized the problem. The body of the fire spirit that had already condensed more than 90% was not pure!

‘Other than the power of this special life form itself, there is also some ordinary fire elemental power in the nodes. Although that power is extremely pure, compared to the essence of the fire spirit, it’s still not enough.’

‘I see.’

Andrew discovered this and also heaved a sigh of relief. He knew very clearly that this was not difficult to solve. He could purify the magic in his body by practicing the magic of the corresponding attribute.

Andrew had also roughly guessed the truth. Previously, the intermediate magic he had cast did not lack the special rune of flame shaping. However, at that time, the purity of the magic power in Andrew’s node was too low, so he was unable to awaken the fire spirit.

‘Next, I can only continue to cultivate the intermediate fire magic. I’m good at this.’

Andrew stopped the crazy drawing of the flame-shaping rune in his mind. The fire spirit that was about to take shape also continued to spread out and merge into the node.

‘There are still 21 intermediate spells that I haven’t learned, so it should be enough.’

‘If it’s not enough, I can try to improve some of the spells that I have already learned.’

Andrew looked at the various information in the library of the Association and calculated in his heart. Then, he took out a few more books from the bookshelf.

‘Elements Explosion: Fire, High-temperature Incineration, Fire Protection Shield, Red Lotus Flame…’

Andrew counted more than a dozen books and brought them all with him. Then, he went to the deserted mountain where he usually cultivated. He seemed to be a little impatient. Andrew had a faint premonition that after successfully gathering the fire spirit, his strength would have another chance to soar!

…

In the magic crystal training room, Andrew sat upright on the cushion with a frown on his face.

This time, he was not here to extract magic power to increase his cultivation level. Instead, he was purely using this place to increase the speed of his spiritual power recovery to complete the awakening of the fire spirit. After he had learned all the intermediate fire spells in the Association, and also after successfully advancing two of them, a feeling finally arose in his heart that the purity of the magic power in his body should have reached the standard.

At this moment, Andrew had already been sitting here for half a day. In his sea of consciousness, he was constantly using the function of the flame to shape runes to fuse the energy of the fire spirit bit by bit.

‘Fortunately, I’ve come to the magic crystal training room. The number of runes that I have to outline is a little too much.’

Andrew sighed. Even though his spiritual power was far above the level of his peers, he was only barely able to hold on until the last moment under the effect of the magic crystal training room’s recovery power.

At this moment, inside Andrew’s magic power node, the fire spirit was only left with the last few traces of energy that had yet to reunite.

‘Give it to me! Go!’
