Chapter 56: An Awkward Miss

“Tch!” Old Xie immediately couldn’t help laughing, “You? I can handle eighty of you with one hand!”

“Ah~!” Little Princess Lanslo Snow was almost driven mad by Old Xie’s bragging. She first couldn’t help shouting, then simply stopped talking nonsense with Old Xie, and said directly, “In that case, let’s start!”

Saying that, she suddenly pulled out a delicate small Magic Wand from her sleeve, waved it while chanting, “In the name of the God of Ice and Snow, come out, Ice Arrow!”

On this Continent, low-level Mages must finish chanting the Incantation to cast spells. Only Mages above level 3 can instantly cast low-level spells. However, even low-level spells had considerable power . Take the level 1 Ice Element Spell Ice Arrow released by Little Princess Lanslo Snow for example; it could shoot an arrow made of ice, two feet long and thumb-thick, from the tip of the wand.

The speed of the Ice Arrow was very fast, almost like a bullet on Earth. If an ordinary person was hit in a vital spot, it would definitely kill with one hit. Even with primary Battle Qi Body Protection, it would mostly cause serious injury. It was precisely because of the Mage’s high damage that Mages were so valued.

Actually, in terms of strength alone, Little Princess Lanslo Snow knew she was no match for Little Steven. After all, the Little Princess was only thirteen and a half years old, while Little Steven was already sixteen. You know, Little Steven was a rare genius, plus he was willing to endure hardship. Among his peers, his strength was definitely among the best. Although Little Princess Lanslo Snow’s talent was not inferior to Little Steven’s, after all, she had two and a half years less training, so naturally, she was no match.

However, Little Princess Lanslo Snow was still full of confidence in victory. You know, Mage combat, besides strength, was more about equipment. Now, the Little Princess was wearing all Magic Equipment. From the Magic Wand to the ring, earrings, and necklace, they could all increase her casting speed. This made a spell that originally took 5 seconds to cast take less than three seconds. Generally speaking, Little Steven, without any equipment bonuses, would take at least nearly four seconds to cast a spell. Moreover, she started chanting surprisingly first. Undoubtedly, in this situation, the Little Princess was almost certain to win.

In fact, everything started as Little Princess Lanslo Snow expected. When she started chanting, Old Xie pretended to panic and chanted a Lightning Spell. Although Little Princess Lanslo Snow was angry, she obviously didn’t want to kill Old Xie. So her Ice Arrow aimed at Old Xie’s shoulder, not a vital spot. Watching her Ice Arrow shoot out, the Little Princess almost saw the scene of her victory.

However, at this moment, a strange scene appeared. Old Xie’s shoulder suddenly shrank, as if it were cramping. But with just this cramp, he directly dodged the Lightning-fast Ice Arrow. Seeing this completely unexpected scene, the Little Princess was stunned, so much so that she didn’t notice that Old Xie had finished the Incantation and released a thin bolt of lightning.

Actually, Old Xie was fully capable of instant-casting the Lightning Spell. However, in order not to expose his strength too much, he still pretended to chant for a long time before releasing it.

Although the damage of the Lightning Spell might not be as good as other spells, because it was too fast, there was basically no way to miss. Therefore, even if Little Princess Lanslo Snow noticed it, she couldn’t dodge. So, under the gaze of everyone, the Empire’s noble Princess was directly shocked into an afro by the lightning. Her clothes were Charred, and she fell to the ground. Immediately, a pungent smell came, and her lower body clothes were also wet. It turned out that the poor Princess had lost control of her bladder due to the electric shock!

Seeing this miserable scene, even Old Xie felt unexpected. He didn’t expect his lightning to be so powerful. Actually, he had tried his best to reduce the power, but he didn’t expect to still cause her such great embarrassment. Actually, he didn’t intend to be so cruel to a girl in his heart.

However, since the matter had already happened, Old Xie certainly wouldn’t regret it. He just shrugged helplessly and let it go. After the brief shock, the others immediately exploded. Some went to save the Princess, but limited by their status, they didn’t dare to touch her. Some wanted to settle scores with Old Xie, and some went to call the Teacher.

Fortunately, the Teacher arrived at this time. It was a middle-aged female Teacher. As soon as she saw the Little Princess’s miserable state, she almost fainted. If such a big incident happened to the Empire Princess in her class, if it was investigated, even if she didn’t die, she would lose a layer of skin. Now she didn’t even have time to ask clearly what happened. She directly picked up the Princess and ran out to find a doctor. Seeing this, the others also knew that this class obviously couldn’t continue, so they left one after another.

Only a few boring fans of the Little Princess refused to let it go and came together to find trouble with Old Xie. Would Old Xie bother with them? He directly grabbed the guy shouting the loudest and threw him on the ground like garbage. The others immediately stayed away from Old Xie and didn’t dare to make a sound anymore. In the eyes of these noble people, face was more important than anything. If they were played by Old Xie like this, it would be more painful than killing them. Anyway, the Little Princess wasn’t here now, so even if they were thrown, they wouldn’t get the Little Princess’s favor, so there was no need to confront this Barbarian.

After driving away a group of flies, Old Xie also felt bored. He simply walked towards the Old Mage’s Mage Tower. He planned to return to his distant base. He hadn’t seen his Underlings for a long time and missed them a bit.

…

On the top floor of the library in the central area of the Magic Branch was a set of very luxurious facilities, including the Principal’s office, conference room, temporary lounge, and other attached rooms. This was the most luxurious and exquisite place in the entire Academy and was also the Old Mage’s daily office, although this guy didn’t spend even a month a year here.

At this moment, the luxurious conference room here was already full of people, totaling eight. The Old Mage was in the top seat. On his left were two men and two women, four Mages, while on his right were three male Warriors.

If someone from this school were here at this moment, they would be shocked to discover that the top nine experts of the Griffin Kingdom, the Four Sword Saints and Five Magic Saints, had gathered here, eight of them. Except for the Guardian Sword Saint who was stationed at the Imperial Palace all year round, everyone else had arrived.

They were, respectively, the Old Mage in the top seat, the Lightning Magic Saint; next on the right were the Fire Magic Saint, Luna, the Ice Magic Saint, Rui Li, the Earth Magic Saint, Slater, and the Wind Magic Saint, Phoebe. On the left were the Heavy Armor Sword Saint Kiel, the Gale Sword Saint Skatz, and the Perfect Sword Saint, Kalia.
