Clang!
The sound of a sword being drawn had only just rung out when a blade gleaming with a chilly glint appeared a few centimeters away from Meng Lei’s throat.
“How quick!”
Upon sensing the icy-cold blade at his throat, Meng Lei retreated with a burst of speed. The next instant, he was already ten meters away.
“Thinking of killing me? Very well!” A cold gleam appeared in Meng Lei’s eyes as he slowly uttered two words, “Meteor Fall!”
He had only just spoken when a fissure abruptly appeared above the arena. Pitch-black and bottomless, it was as though someone had forcefully ripped open a hole.
“That’s...”
All the spectators in the house cried out as one.
Several Saint Domain experts’ countenances also changed dramatically.
The next moment, a gigantic 100-meters-wide meteor with black flames circling around it suddenly wove through the fissure and crashed toward the ring at a lightning-quick speed.
It produced deafening booms as it traveled through the air, causing all the spectators to lose their sense of hearing. Loud explosions went off in their heads, leaving behind only booming noises.
“Damn!”
“That’s the fire-elemental single-target first-class spell, Meteor Fall!”
“A lunatic! He’s a total lunatic!”
The muscular elderly man let out a furious curse and instantly vanished from the private room.
“A f-first-class spell!”
Francis stared at the black meteor crashing toward him in a daze. As he sensed the terrifying destructiveness coming from the meteor, his visage suddenly became deathly pale.
“Am I going to die?”
That was the only notion remaining in Francis’ mind at the moment. He could only watch helplessly as the black meteor came nearer and nearer to him.
He knew he couldn’t get away!
That was such a massive meteor, and it was so close to him!
There was no way he could get away at all!
In the twinkling of an eye, it had already closed the distance of several dozen meters between them and reached right above him in a split second. In the instant where Francis thought he was going to be blasted to death, a burly figure abruptly showed up.
“Destroy!”
A fierce shout rang out, and a fist went flying out.
Buzz!
The black meteor instantly broke and splintered into countless black granules that fell continuously in large amounts with a buzz.
The muscular elderly man stood tall and proud in the ring, his long robe flapping in the wind.
“P-President!”
A dazed Francis stared at the elderly man, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down slightly.
“Hmph!”
The elderly man glared at Francis, and then he looked at Meng Lei with an awful expression. “Little child, how dare you cast a first-class spell here? Aren’t you a little too bold?”
Meng Lei was noncommittal. He replied with a smile, “Didn’t everything turn out alright in the end, anyway?”
Despite his reaction, Meng Lei was actually secretly astounded. As a fire-elemental single-target offensive first-class spell, Meteor Fall contained incredible might.
Even ordinary Saint Domains wouldn’t dare to take it on head-on, yet that elderly man had shattered it with just a punch. His strength was truly unimaginable.
“Hmph!”
The muscular elderly man snorted. Then, he vanished right away.
“Are we still continuing the battle?” asked Meng Lei as he shifted his gaze to Francis.
“We don’t need to anymore! I concede defeat.”
Francis stared long and hard at Meng Lei. Then, he jumped off the ring without even looking behind him. His voice, however, floated back to Meng Lei. “Just you wait, though. I’ll defeat you someday!”
Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully. This time, he didn’t leave the ring in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the contestant benches and said, “Anyone else? If there is, then you can come at me together. I don’t have the time to fight all of you one by one!”
“...”
Silence pervaded the contestant benches. The contestants practically lowered their heads all at the same time, none of them daring to face Meng Lei’s genius directly or challenge him.
Challenge him?
Oh my goodness!
Were they tired of living?
As if they would challenge him anymore!
The Meteor Fall from just now had given all the contestants the shock of their lives. While some of them had recognized the first-class spell and some hadn’t, this didn’t stop Meteor Fall from bringing them a terrifying sense of intimidation all the same.
Everyone had the same feeling—should the meteor hit them, they would be doomed for sure. They wouldn’t have any chance of survival at all!!
With all of them scared out of their wits, would they even still issue a challenge anymore?
“No one?”
Meng Lei made the offer another couple of times. After confirming that no one was challenging him, he finally left the ring, returned to the contestant benches, and took a seat.

“That little fellow...”
Flit the 66th was frowning badly. “He’s too unbridled in his behavior. There are tens of thousands of spectators watching the competition here, yet he dares to cast a fire-elemental first-class spell? He’s got a lot of nerve!”
“If not for the Fighting Dragon President acting in time, who knows just how many casualties it would have caused? He must be severely punished!”
“What’s he going to be like in the future when he’s already so ruthless at such a young age? President Fred, this is your negligence in duty!”
“How dare he cast an ultimate first-class spell like Meteor Fall in a place where there are so many people around? I really can’t tell whether it’s because he’s out of his mind or if he just doesn’t give two hoots about the spectators’ lives!”
“Severe punishment! He must be given severe punishment!”
All the academy presidents spoke up one after another, severely criticizing and condemning Meng Lei’s actions. Evidently, they were extremely displeased with his actions just now.
Flit the 66th nodded lightly. “Initially, because he had made
