“That’s poison magic, you know! Something that specializes in restraining Magicians that have weak, frail bodies! Now that he has encountered him, that little fellow named Meng Lei is going to be out of luck!”
Everyone nodded in agreement as poison magic was terrifying.
This type of rare, special magic that only Green Dragons could master was totally different from ordinary magic and could kill without warning.
One would easily fall victim to it the moment they were careless, and once they did, they would be down with highly toxic poison. In lesser cases, they would suffer a great loss in combat strength, while in serious cases, they would lose their lives.
Perhaps Warriors could resist it slightly, but Magicians, whose bodies were weak and frail, wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long at all. Out of everyone, poison magic restrained Magicians the most.
“That little fellow named Meng Lei is so young. He probably doesn’t have any experience dealing with poison magic. He’s in for it this time!”
One of the academy presidents sighed softly with a shake of his head.
President Fred had an awful look on his face, and he began to grow uneasy and nervous.
In the ring, the battle started!
In a bid to forestall his opponent, Chester put on a show of strength right away and began to loudly chant profound and hard-to-understand Dragon-Language Magic spells. Several thorny vines appeared out of nowhere and transformed into dozens of poisonous snakes that rushed toward Meng Lei.
At the same time, numerous pink flowers started to grow around the ring, giving off a toxic pink mist that shrouded the entire ring.
“Eighth-Grade Wood-Elemental Dragon-Language Magic, Toxic Magic Vines!
“Eighth-Grade Poison Spell, Bone-Softening Toxic Mist!
“The outcome is clear!”
The blond old man chortled and said, “Fred, you’d better hurry and stop the two of them. Otherwise, your top genius in history is gonna croak!”
“Hmph!” Fred let out a cold snort in response. However, his heart had already gone all the way into his mouth, and he got ready to step in and stop the battle at any moment and save Meng Lei.
At that moment, up against the thorny vines shooting toward him and the pervasive toxic mist, Meng Lei instead flicked his fingers and launched a basketball-sized fireball that shot slowly and leisurely toward Chester.
“The First-Grade Fireball Technique isn’t even enough to tickle me!” sneered Chester, who couldn’t even be bothered to dodge the fireball.
However, in the instant it came within range of him, the human head-sized fireball expanded wildly without warning, swelling into a fire lotus, whose diameter reached as wide as 1,000 feet!
Boom!
The 1,000-feet-wide fire lotus engulfed Chester in a split second. It engulfed all the vines, as well as a large half of the fighting ring!
“What!?”
“Fireball Technique morphing into Fire Lotus Judgment in a second?”
“A first-grade spell turning into a ninth-grade spell?”
“How can this be?”
All the academy presidents in the private room got to their feet all of a sudden, astonishment written all over their faces!
Chapter 131: Choosing A Queen, Abandoning One’s Merits And Making Much of Their Shortcomings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To ordinary people, magic was just like tricks, yet also different from them. At the same time, while they were cool and dazzling, they also carried fearsome destructiveness.
However, all Magicians were well aware that magic actually wasn’t that amazing—there was a specific and particular way to cast every spell.
How to chant the spell incantation;
How much magic elements they must gather;
How the magic elements should be arranged;
All these aspects had their own specific patterns and rules. Making a mistake in any of them would cause the spellcasting to fail.
What this meant was that Fireball Technique had its own way of arranging magic elements while the Fire Lotus Judgment also had its own set of spellcasting steps. Once they had been cast, the spells would be set in stone, and there wouldn’t be any way to alter them anymore.
There was no way it could be Fireball Technique one moment, yet morph into Fire Lotus Judgment the next. If anyone could achieve something like that, then sorry, but that would definitely be tricks meant to deceive one and not strict, rigorous magic!
This was the most basic piece of general knowledge in magic and was also something acknowledged among all Magicians.
Yet under the watchful eyes of the public, Meng Lei had broken this very same piece of general knowledge in magic.
“Fireball Technique has turned into Fire Lotus Judgment?”
“A first-grade spell has turned into a ninth-grade spell?”
“Oh my dragon god! Am I seeing things?”
A huge uproar went through the whole arena. Some people’s mouths were wide agape, some were rubbing their eyes hard, and some had almost jumped out of their seats...
Everyone in the venue was astounded by what they had seen!
In the private room, King Flit the 66th, Queen Diana, President Fred, the blond elderly man, as well as the other academy presidents’ jaws had also dropped.
For others, their astoundment arose from the fact that they didn’t understand what had happened. In their case, however, it was because they understood the inner workings that they found it inconceivable.
Just like how there was no way a rock could turn into gold for no reason, it was impossible for the Fireball Technique that had already been cast to morph into Fire Lotus Judgment for no reason!.
However, this didn’t mean that it was unachievable.
It was actually possible for rocks to turn into gold.
Similarly, the Fireball Technique could also morph into Fire Lotus Judgment!.
By using the laws of nature, one could achieve this!
And it was precisely because they knew that this was achievable through the laws of nature that they found it so shocking and horrifying.
“President Fred, when did
