Chapter 108
The assistants gathered in front of the laboratory door. They did not dare to break in, so they could only wait anxiously.
Adam did not make them wait for long. A few minutes later, he walked out of the laboratory as if nothing had happened.
"Master Adam, what happened?"
"Mr. Adam, did the conclusion not get recognized by the world? Did the experiment fail? "
Adam waved his hand to stop everyone from asking about the different titles and said directly, "The experiment is a success. Each of you can receive a reward of two ether crystals from the laboratory account. I'll submit the results to the Academic Department later. I'm guessing that the Tower will also give you other rewards."
Adam was in a good mood. He was not stingy with this little bit of energy. Instead, he generously gave everyone a reward.
"As for me, I can't level up yet. However, this has nothing to do with whether the conclusion is correct or not. It's just my personal reason."
Indeed, it was personal reason. Adam almost could not control the transformation of his soul. At that moment, he seemed to have seen the truth of the world. That feeling made him unable to suppress the urge to take the important step forward. At the critical moment, the active crystal seal left by the Moldo Hyperdimensional Mage was automatically released, instantly interrupting the process of leveling up. It also stopped Adam's soul in the half-completed state.
Now, Adam could be said to be an apprentice, or a half-step sorcerer.
However, Adam had a strong feeling that something terrible would happen if he really called himself a half-step sorcerer. So, he wisely abandoned this idea.
The current Adam was many times stronger than the Adam before the experiment. When the knowledge entered the soul, magic was born. Different rune arrangements were flowing in Adam's mind, and each of them had power that was completely beyond the limits of an apprentice.
However, these magic were not suitable to be tested in the laboratory. Adam did not want to destroy this place.
After answering the questions of the assistants and giving out the reward, Adam was ready to go back to his office to rewrite the thesis. The current version was all core knowledge, so it was not suitable to be directly handed to the academy.
Before entering the office, he turned around and said, "You will have a month's leave. Kovar, go and inform James."
James?!
The acolyte who was talking to Eliot earlier snapped out of his excitement and hurriedly said to Adam, "Mr Adam, please wait a moment. Mr James seems to be in trouble!"
"Hmm?"
Adam pushed open the door of the laboratory and found that the Devil who was ordered to guard the place was nowhere to be found. He could not help but whisper in doubt, "James can also cause trouble?"
The assistant recalled a few words that he had vaguely heard from the conversation between Eliot and the Devil. He said to Adam with uncertainty, "Mr. Eliot came to see you before. I heard that it has something to do with the apprentices of Monte Carlo. James seems to be dueling with someone for some reason."
Adam turned around. "How long ago was it?"
"About an hour ago."
Adam flew out of the laboratory and rushed towards the arena. After all, they were old friends for more than ten years. He felt that he should go and take a look.
.....
In the arena, the battle between James and Francis had come to an end.
Both of them were floating in the air. Francis was not as arrogant as before, and the speed of his spell construction was greatly reduced. James was wrapped in a huge Psychokinetic spell and looked like a giant. However, any acolyte with good eyesight could easily see that James was an arrow at the end of its flight.
Eliot and the Devil could only wait anxiously. They had tried to help, but were rejected by James. "This is my battle. No matter who wins or loses, I will fight to the death." This was James' answer.
Eliot and the Devil cursed him for being stupid, but even they knew that no one could interfere. Not only did James not allow it, but the Monte Carlo apprentices also did not allow it.
The rules of the duel limited the location of the battle. The Monte Carlo apprentices did not think that they would be watching a duel that lasted nearly two hours. Psychokinetic spells were not as explosive as magic spells, but they were very effective in control and defense. It was like putting on a tortoise shell.
Francis dodged the giant's arm and released a Wind Blade at him. They had done this many times. He thought that this attack would be canceled out like before, but he saw that the giant's wound did not heal for a long time.
"This damn tortoise shell has finally run out of energy! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! " Francis was overjoyed. He tried his best to construct a medium magic spell, trying to wear down all of James's spiritual power in one fell swoop.
James's bodily functions were on the verge of stagnation, and he could not recover any Psychokinetic spells. However, he did not panic at all. He calmly took out the pocket-sized potion from his pocket and injected it into his carotid artery before most people could react.
Eliot's expression changed drastically. He shouted in horror, "Are you crazy?"
The onlookers were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. If it were not for their standpoint, they would have left long ago. At this time, they were attracted by Eliot's roar and realized that the situation might be reversed.
James even had the time to turn around and smile at Eliot.
"You're courting death!" Francis saw that James had revealed an opening. He summoned all of his remaining spiritual power and magic power, constructed a highly condensed wind blade, and slashed at James fiercely.
James did not dodge, and looked at him calmly. Then his body was slowly covered in flames, and the flames spread out, burning together with the Psychokinetic Giant.
Everyone could clearly feel the enormous waves of energy. Francis was terrified. He did not know what James had done, but he definitely did not want to face it head-on.
James seemed to have become the second sun in the sky. The giant opened his arms and hugged Francis.
Then the light dimmed, and the two fell on the dueling platform at the same time.
This was the last scene that Adam saw from afar.
Eliot and the Devil suddenly stood up and rushed down the platform. Monte Carlo's apprentice was one step faster. He had already landed on the dueling platform, which was beyond recognition. Bill said in surprise, "The aura has disappeared. They died together."
Just as he was about to flip over the two bodies, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck at his feet. Bill's face flashed with anger. He raised his head and said gloomily, "Sneak attack? Who is it? "
Adam was the only one in the academy who had the ability to use this level of electric magic. Eliot and the Devil were relieved. Looking at Adam who had landed, Eliot said in pain, "James, he …"
Adam ignored the angry eyes of the Monte Carlo's apprentice. He waved his hand at the syringe and asked Eliot, "What is this?"
Before Eliot could answer, Bill stepped forward and cut off the Psychokinetic. Before he could ask, he heard Adam's cold voice, "Go away, or die."
