“What’s going on, Ol’ President?” Meng Lei was stupefied. “Why has that guy powered up again?”
“Obviously, two first-class spells were sealed in the pendant that that guy crushed just now,” Ol’ Amos explained, “If my eyes didn’t deceive me, the two spells are likely Metal Guardian and Metal God’s Blessings!
“Metal Guardian is a defensive single-target first-class spell while Metal God’s Blessings is an offensive single-target first-class spell.
“Judging from their might, those two etal-elemental first-class spells are the handiwork of a Metal-Elemental Saint Domain Great Magician who’s at least in the high-level or limits-level stage. They’re several times mightier than most typical first-class spells, so you’d best be careful!”
“Metal Guardian? Metal God’s Blessings? The handiwork of a metal-elemental Saint Domain Great Magician who’s at least in the high-level or limits-level stage?”
Meng Lei licked his lips as he remarked, “That guy sure is rich! To think he even has something like that!”
At the same time at the Dragon God Cathedral…
Everyone stared in stupefaction at the magic screen as the place fell strangely silent.
Sharp-eyed spectators could all tell that Prince Barbarossa had used a special magic device to enhance his abilities!
Although the usage of magic devices wasn’t prohibited in the exchange competition, openly using one to enhance one’s abilities in a fair one-on-one showdown was honestly a move beneath one’s dignity!
Moreover, his opponent was also a member of the royalty like him. To use a magic device on a fellow member of the royalty, his breadth of mind was honestly…
“What an embarrassment! He has thoroughly embarrassed the royal family!”
Frederick the 32nd narrowed his eyes as he said, “Throw him into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest when the exchange competition ends, so that he can reflect upon himself!”
No-one dared to make any response. While His Majesty could admonish Prince Barbarossa at will, they, on the other hand, couldn’t comment carelessly!
“I’ll never lose to a bastard like you!”
Barbarossa roared furiously in the sky. Then, he transformed into a stream of golden light that rushed straight toward Meng Lei. The current Barbarossa was just like a wild horse geared in heavy armor—indestructible yet capable of destroying everything!
“Do you think there’s nothing I can do about you just because you’ve decked yourself in two layers of metal? Fine, I’ll give you a taste of what a real first-class spell is!”
Meng Lei let out a cold laugh. Then, he slowly uttered six words, “Wood-elemental first-class spell, Myriad of Nature!”
Buzz, buzz!
Meng Lei had only just spoken when pure, unadulterated wood-elemental magic power abruptly burst forth from all around him, dyeing his entire self into a green-colored sun!
Simultaneously, Wood Elements several kilometers from where he was also started to converge madly toward him upon being summoned!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Amid soft, strange sounds, the plants on the ground started to grow at an insane rate as if they’d been injected with growth hormones!
10 meters, 100 meters, 1,000 meters…
Earth and rocks rolled about as gigantic trees sprung into the air!
In just a short few breaths, the battleground in front of the cliff had transformed into a forest. Several towering trees morphed into wooden dragons with high fighting spirit and shot toward Barbarossa in the air!
Roar!
Barbarossa let out several furious roars as he easily broke wooden dragon after wooden dragon. Then, with an overwhelming force, he charged toward Meng Lei!
“Hurhur, you’re pretty good!” Meng Lei sneered.
Then, he commanded, “Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
“Myriad of Nature!”
One must admit that Barbarossa, who had two first-class spells cast on himself, had indeed gone through a dramatic spike in combat power. Be it his speed or the force of his attacks, both had been enhanced by quite a few times!
It was just a shame that the one he’d run into was Meng Lei, a mutant who could cast instant release of first-class spells and had no fear of magic power depletion!
As he bombarded Barbarossa with ten successive Myriad of Natures, thousands upon thousands of wooden dragons wound around Barbarossa and submerged him entirely!
Were there 500 of them? 1,000? Or tens of thousands of them?
There was no end to their numbers!
Therefore, Barbarossa’s outcome was destined!
As thousands upon thousands of wooden dragons wound around him one after another, Barbarossa’s speed started to fall further and further…
By the time he’d charged right up to Meng Lei, the infinite number of wooden dragons had already firmly bound him. All he could do was glare at Meng Lei and nothing more!

It was frighteningly quiet at the Dragon God Cathedral.
From the royalty and nobles all the way to the civil and martial officials, every single person was immensely astounded. None of them would have ever imagined that the battle’s outcome would turn out like that in the end.
Prince Barbarossa, who had crushed his gold pendant and strengthened his abilities by quite a few times, was actually still no match for Meng Lei!
Was the gap between the two of them that massive?
“The interval between each Myriad of Nature is no more than three seconds!”
Emperor Frederick the 32nd marveled, “With an interval of just three seconds, it’s practically an instant release of first-class spells. Is that little fellow’s prowess in wood-elemental laws of nature that deep?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Since one could do instant release for normal spells, they could also do the same for first-class spells, of course.
However, to achieve instant release for first-class spells, the caster needed an extremely high degree of comprehension of the laws of nature. Only then could they operate from a strategically advantageous position and see everything at one glance.
There was no way an average Saint
