269 – Defeating Barros
Barros suddenly felt a splitting headache from Psyche Shock. He nearly spat out blood, and nearly wanted to kneel on the ground. However, he was an Archwizard and had gone through numerous battles, after all. He uttered a magic sentence, and cast the level-2 spell Psyche Resistance in a flash.
A white light enveloped Barros, making him feel a little better.
On the dais, when Blanca saw this, his eyes suddenly released a bright light and revealed a trace of joy.
“Archwizard!! Ian is actually an Archwizard!!”
“Magic sentence, and a superior magic sentence, to boot! Isn’t this a technique that only Legend Wizards can grasp?!”
“…”
When the Wizards in the magic arena saw this, a commotion ensued, and shock filled their eyes.
Compared with the fact that Yang Feng was an Archwizard, the fact that he grasped superior magic sentence was more shocking. No one below the Legend Wizard step had ever managed to grasp superior magic sentence. Thus, Yang Feng had just created a new record.
Almost at the same time, Yang Feng uttered 2 magic sentences, and immediately conjured the level-3 spell Fire Snake twice. 2 very fierce flame snakes appeared out of nowhere, and, while carrying a tremendous burning power, pounced madly at Barros.
Originally, even though Yang Feng had the strength of a level-3 Warlock, he could not cast 2 level-3 spells in a flash. Even though he was a level-3 Warlock, but he still had to recite an incantation when casting a level-3 spell.
However, there was the Weave in this world. The Weave was not only a means for the Weave Goddess to control Wizards, it also bestowed Wizards with a variety of miraculous magic techniques in the world, and magic sentences was one of them.
In a world without the Weave, magic sentences were of no use. On the Feisuo Plane, however, they were crucial to insta-cast level-3 spells.
In the Demonic Fighting Sect, numerous powerhouses have studied how to shorten the casting time by using magic sentences. The fastest person could insta-cast 3 level-3 spells. Yang Feng could insta-cast 2 level-3 spells, which was already terrifying.
The terrifying flame snakes pounced at the Superior Warping Force Field around Barros, and burned it frantically. The warping force field was burned away inch by inch.
The power from the fierce fire elemental particles burnt Barros’ hair, and released a burnt smell. Barros gritted his teeth and uttered a magic sentence.
A berserk firestorm surrounded Barros.
The 2 flame snakes pounced on the firestorm. Shortly after, they were absorbed and dispelled by the firestorm.
Yang Feng uttered 2 magic sentences expressionlessly. Berserk water elemental particles gathered and formed 2 water snakes, which hit the firestorm.
Sizzle!! Sizzle!! Copious amounts of white mist rose into the air. Although the firestorm was torn apart by the water snakes formed from water elemental particles, but the 2 water snakes were also mostly dispelled.
The moment the 2 water snakes were dispelled, an arcane projectile slammed into Barros’ chest. The impact broke a few of his ribs. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, tumbled to the ground, and gasped heavily. There was a look of pain on his face.
There was not a single peep in the magic arena. No one expected that Yang Feng could beat Barros, who was a peak Archwizard only a step away from becoming a Legend Wizard.
Barros coughed up blood and said slowly: “You won!”
Yang Feng smiled faintly and uttered a magic sentence. Suddenly, healing water appeared. It flew towards Barros and entered his body.
With the power of the healing water, Barros’ broken ribs and internal injuries were healed rapidly.
Barros got up from the ground and came up to Yang Feng. There was a look of struggle in his eyes. Eventually, he gave a long sigh, saying: “Greetings, Sir. From today on, I am your loyal subordinate.”
The court masters in the entire white tower were witnesses to the bet between Barros and Yang Feng. If Barros broke his promise, he would have no place to stay in the white tower.
After seeing this, the onlooker court masters dispersed slowly. They understood that today, Yang Feng had become a genuine court grand master as well as one of the tycoons of the court master system, and that he held great power.
“Master Ian, I am the Legend Wizard Blanca. I would like to have a talk with you.” A voice suddenly sounded in the magic arena. Lights gathered and formed into a circle in front of Yang Feng.
Barros was shocked and exclaimed: “Master Blanca!”
The Legend Wizard Blanca was absolutely one of the strongest 5 people in the court master system. His strength was terrifying. The Morrince Empire had paid a huge price to recruit this person.
Of the powerhouses who died at his hands, 3 were Legend Wizards and 12 were Sacred Swordsmen. He was known as one of the strongest and most skilled at fighting Wizards.
The gap between Barros and Blanca was as wide as the gap between a child and an adult.
Yang Feng pondered for a while, and stepped into the circle of light.
Numerous lights flickered, and Yang Feng disappeared in the circle.
Barros looked at the circle with a complicated look in his eyes, then sighed lightly, turned around, and left.
In a room full of books, a light flashed, and Yang Feng stepped out of the light. He saw Blanca stand quietly in front of him.
Blanca gave a common Wizard salute, and revealed a smile: “Hello, Master Ian, I am Blanca!”
Yang Feng also gave a common Wizard salute and said with a smile: “Hello, I am Ian!”
“Please sit!”
Yang Feng and Blanca sat on a sofa respectively.
Blanca’s starry eyes sparkled brightly, as he asked eagerly: “Master Ian, have you grasped the essence of magic?”
Yang Feng’s heart surged with vigilance, and he replied lightly: “The essence of magic can only be grasped by divine descendants. I am just an ordinary person, I don’t dare to violate the domain of the gods!”
The essence of magic could only be cultivated by Cardinals and Popes of churches or divine descendants. It was an absolute taboo for human Wizards.
Blanca asked calmly: “In this world, only divine descendant powerhouses can practice magic and martial dual cultivation. Ian, if you haven’t acquired the essence of magic, then how can you practice magic and martial dual cultivation?”
Thanks to the Weave, Wizards of the Feisuo Plane could quickly cast their spells. At the same time, it would make them forget the spells they learned the day before, and they were forced to memorize the spells each day. Due to this endless iteration, it was basically impossible to practice magic and martial dual cultivation. Among humans, only divine descendants, who grasped the essence of magic, could practice magic and martial dual cultivation and become the world’s top powerhouses.
Yang Feng replied with a faint smile: “There are always some geniuses in the world, just like the legendary hero of the empire, Salamander, from 100 years ago. Wasn’t he also an ordinary commoner who practiced magic and martial dual cultivation, and eventually founded the Salamander Family and made the family one of the most strongest families in the empire?”
The Feisuo Plane had gods. Simultaneously, the plane had many precious extraordinary plants and extraordinary life forms called demonic beasts. And there were also the relics of some ancient gods.
The gods of the Feisuo Plane had fought bitter battles against the human Warlocks of the Cangzhi Plane, which led to the deaths of numerous ancient gods.
The current gods of the Feisuo Plane had ascended to godhood by treading atop the corpses of former gods. Simultaneously, many fierce wars broke out between the new gods. Thus, there were many inheritances in the secular world.
Due to a fortuitous encounter, Salamander, without being a divine descendant, became a peak powerhouse who practiced magic and martial dual cultivation, a legendary hero of the Morrince Empire, and the founder of a greater aristocratic family.
There were also humans who practiced magic and martial dual cultivation without being divine descendants, but they were naturally very few in numbers. Although few, but they still existed. Therefore, Yang Feng wasn’t worried about being accused of heresy, as he was a fanatic of the Weave Church.
Yang Feng stood up, ready to leave: “Anyone who pursues the essence of magic is committing blasphemy against the Weave Goddess. Master Blanca, I will treat it as if I haven’t heard you mention this. Goodbye.”
Blanca suddenly grinned and said: “You aren’t a fanatic of the Weave Goddess!”
Yang Feng quietly looked at Blanca with a calm gaze, without saying a word.
Blanca gave a calm analyzes: “If you were a fanatic of the Weave Goddess, you should have chewed me out when you heard me mention the essence of magic just now. I have seen many fanatics. No matter the circumstances, a fanatic would go mad whenever they heard anything blasphemous. You aren’t mad, but very calm instead. Therefore, you are not a fanatic of the Weave Goddess.”
Yang Feng’s heart immediately shook slightly. Looking at Blanca, his gaze couldn’t help but turn solemn. He wasn’t a believer of any god. Only by relying on the nano robots of blasphemy to cheat the Weave Goddess, did he manage to become a fanatic of the Weave Goddess.
Blanca had set up a linguistic trap from the very beginning, but Yang Feng hadn’t noticed it. After all, he wasn’t a real believer.
Blanca suddenly smiled and looked very mildly at Yang Feng: “Don’t think about killing me! In this room, no ordinary person is my match. Even the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman would come to a dead end in my room. While a mighty demigod could only force me to flee in a sorry state.”
A Legend Wizard who had done preparations beforehand was certainly very difficult to kill, specially in place where they have been preparing for ages.
