The second chapter arrives today; everyone, pleasevote a lot and collect a lot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Snowflakes emerged continuously, Li De's face also began to show gravity. Feeling the surrounding temperature, he took out a petite magic wand from his bosom that was only eight inches long. After quietly chanting a few words, a wave of water appeared in front of him. It wasn't simple water wall magic, but the advanced form, a level five single-defense water magic—Water Mirror Technique. It not only provided a good defense effect, but to a certain extent, it could also counterattack the opponent's magic.
The blizzard finally formed, quickly revolving around Nian Bing's body. As the revolving speed quickened, his figure gradually faded from sight. The blue light in Nian Bing's eyes flashed in all directions. He pointed his right-hand forward, and the blizzard condensed into a small tornado flying at ground level, aiming towards Mage Li De.
Witnessing this, Shi Jue said with disdain from one side, "Junior sister, do you see what I was saying? Can you call this tiny area a blizzard?"
A strange look appeared in Long Ling'er's eyes, "No, senior brother, you're wrong. Dad once told me that the blizzard magic can not only cover a large area of attack and allow ice mages to fly for a short time, but if one's magic power reaches a certain level, and they have good magic control power, it can fully become a single target attack magic. Attacking a single target with a blizzard can truly harness its power. Dad told me, when I can reach that level, I can then continue to progress in the direction of a mage."
Looking at the blizzard concentrated in this small area, Li De's face changed several times. He waved the wand in his hand over and over again, chanting repeatedly, and added two more Water Mirror Techniques blocking in front of him.
Just as Nian Bing's blizzard was about to reach Li De, the forward movement of the blizzard suddenly stopped. While the other three wizards present were still in shock, the blizzard suddenly leaped into the air. The entire vortex was horizontal, like a massive whip, lashing downward in the direction of Li De.
With years of involvement in magic, Li De was undaunted by the chaos. He took a step forward, indicated with the wand in his hand, forcibly lifting the three Water Mirrors above his head to meet the attack of the blizzard.
The blizzard issued by Nian Bing with the magic power of Fire and Ice of the same origin, each snowflake was like a blade. The mirror could reflect light and even reflect energy. However, when it faced the blade, it could only collide head-on. The sounds of grating friction were constant. The first water mirror quickly dissipated under the rapid rotation of the blizzard, followed by the second. When the blizzard reached Li De's last line of defense, it hadn't decreased at all. Aside from fewer snowflakes, its attack power didn't decrease in the slightest, the gale filled the entire hall, forcing Shi Jue and Long Ling'er to retreat to the edges of the hall to cast their defensive magic. At this moment, Nian Bing had already raised his magic power to its limit.
Li De's eyes dazzled as his body started to twist bizarrely. When the last water mirror disintegrated under Nian Bing's fierce blizzard, his body suddenly delved into the blizzard. Amidst everyone's astonished cries, blue waves flashed. Nian Bing shook all over, almost falling to the ground under the pull of the influx-; the blizzard, too, quietly vanished in the waves. Except for the extremely low temperature, the entire hall had completely returned to normal.
Li De appeared not far in front of Nian Bing, pondering to himself, "A fourth-rank magic force me to use the seventh-rank 'Melt Water to Sky', kid, your magic control power can almost compare with mine at this point. It's a pity that your magic power has only just crossed into the level of an archmage."
From the side, Long Ling'er asked in surprise, "Uncle Li De, are you saying that he's an archmage?"
Li De nodded and said, "Apart from you, this is the first time I have seen a child with such good talent. For him to be able to cultivate his magic power to such an extent at such a young age is quite extraordinary. His level of magic power is roughly the same as yours, but his control over magic is far stronger. It's clear that his spiritual power is extremely strong, close to that of a Magic Instructor. He can be given the title of Great Archmage. The reason your father is not letting you take the test yet is because your magic control skill is not enough. You need to work harder in this regard in the future, in order to become a real Great Archmage. Child, how old are you this year?" The last sentence was addressed to Nian Bing, and his tone had softened considerably.
Although Nian Bing had expended a great deal of Ice Magic Power, his strong spiritual power, backed by Fire and Ice of the same origin, didn't make him feel too uncomfortable. He respectfully replied, "Honorable Magic Instructor, I am eighteen years old this year."
Li De's eyes flashed with light, "Eighteen years old, so you are a year younger than Ling'er. It seems that I can only describe you as a genius. Ling'er only barely entered the realm of a Great Archmage after she turned nineteen, and yet you are even younger. An eighteen-year-old Great Archmage, hahahaha. It seems that our Bing Yue Mage Guild will have another rising star. Come again tomorrow, I think the guild master will be very happy to meet a genius like you."
Although Nian Bing was eager to read the book of Ice Magic Spells tonight, he knew he could not rush things at this point. Respectfully, he bowed to the Mage Li De and said, "I am grateful for your help."
The expressions on Shi Jue's face changed constantly, his eyes flashing with light. He never expected that this young man dressed in simple clothes would have the strength of a Great Archmage, and was even more talented than Long Ling'er, who had always been hailed as a genius. Jealousy welled up within him, turning his face pale and leaving him speechless. Nian Bing then turned to Shi Jue and Long Ling, saying, "Thank you both for your help. I will come back tomorrow." After smiling at the two, he turned and walked out. As Long Ling watched the departing figure of Nian Bing, a strange feeling rose in her heart. Her reputation as a magic genius and a princess adored by everyone in the Mage Guild made her never think that a simply dressed young man could surpass her magic cultivation. However, she didn't feel jealous, but was rather curious about Nian Bing, wondering how he had achieved his level of cultivation. After all, Long Ling grew up surrounded by magic gems, and her father started teaching her magic at the age of five in order to help her comprehend the true meaning of magic faster. Now, at only nineteen years old, she had fourteen years of magic cultivation and her high comprehension led to her current achievements.
"Ling'er, are you surprised? You should understand the saying that there are always people who are better, and places higher than the sky," Li De said, looking at Long Ling with a meaningful look.
Long Ling nodded and said, "The power of the Blizzard he used before was really strong! I only heard my father talk about it before, but I didn't expect that the normally short-distance travelling spell Blizzard could have such strong offensive power. Uncle Li De, it seems that you have exhausted all your magic, just now I didn't see you chanting a spell before using a seventh-ranked magic. I wonder when I can reach that level."
Li De grimaced, "Are you ridiculing me? Let alone me, even your father can't use seventh-ranked magic without chanting a spell. I was too careless before. I only used low-ranked magic for defense. By the time I reacted, it was too late to chant a spell. I had to use a seventh-ranked scroll. Alas, that scroll took me a long time to create, and I couldn't have done it without your father's help. If it were sold, it would be worth at least a hundred Purple Gold Coins, and would be priceless. I need to go see your father now, he must be told about this."
Shi Jue frowned and said, "Teacher Li De, is it really that important? Perhaps, that boy also used a scroll just now?"
Li De replied lightly, "If I can't tell whether he was using a scroll or not, I would have no right to call myself a Mage. Magic can be initiated by scrolls, but magic control can't be faked. If I gave you a Blizzard scroll, could you control it like he did just now? To be able to gather the Blizzard so closely, and to control it to suddenly change direction, although not very skilfully, but even an Ice Mage could only do so much. His magic control is stronger than any Great Archmage on the continent. I really don't know how he trained at such a young age." After saying this, he looked at Shi Jue meaningfully, and then turned to leave.
Li De left, Long Ling then woke up from her surprise and murmured, "Uncle Li De hasn't smiled for a long time, but he laughed during the test just now."
Shi Jue grumbled, "I think, Teacher Li De may also be a bit.....nevermind, let's leave him be. How about I accompany you, sister, for some late-night snacks?"
Long Ling shook her head and said, "No thank you, brother. Today, I realized how far I lag behind in magic cultivation. I am not competitive among my peers. I want to concentrate on cultivation to try and catch up to Nian Bing as soon as possible. You should also focus on your cultivation, see you tomorrow. I wonder what my father's reaction will be when he meets Nian Bing." After saying this, she said goodbye to Shi Jue and left.
