Chapter 67: The Shameless Victory
Chapter 67: The Shameless Victory
“In the name of the Ice and Snow God!” The Little Princess was the most cunning. Just as Rui Li finished saying 3 and hadn’t said ‘Start’ yet, she directly chanted the Incantation. This single rule-breaking action bought her a huge advantage. If anyone else had been so shameless, the Old Mage would have definitely given her a Lightning strike first to wake her up.
But after all, this person was a noble Princess. Even if she was shameless, or even won by relying on shamelessness, the Old Mage couldn’t really do anything to her. After all, the Old Mage wasn’t awesome enough to ignore imperial power . But fortunately, he had confidence in Old Xie. As long as Old Xie didn’t purposely admit defeat just to mess with him, he wouldn’t lose. And since he had sacrificed so many things to please this guy, he naturally wouldn’t mess with him. So the Old Mage didn’t care about the Little Princess’s shamelessness at all.
In fact, the Old Mage clearly knew that it was difficult for Old Xie to lose even if he wanted to. After all, Old Xie was a monster who could instantly kill a Level 5 Warrior. Moreover, his body structure was very different from ordinary people. The Old Mage had studied it long ago, and the conclusion was something even he dared not believe. That was, relying solely on the strength of his body, Old Xie could be completely immune to all spells below Level 2. In other words, even if Old Xie didn’t resist at all and let the Little Princess hit him with spells, she couldn’t hurt a hair on him even if she tired herself to death.
Such a powerful body was naturally due to his Behemoth Bloodline. A proper Behemoth Behemoth could completely ignore spells below Level 4. But Old Xie was a hybrid, so he was a bit weaker and could only be immune to Level 2 Spells. However, because of the other half of his Naga bloodline, Old Xie could cast magic, which the Behemoth could not. So it was hard to say whether such a hybrid was a bad thing.
Seeing the Little Princess’s shameless move, Old Xie immediately felt a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t help but have an impulse to play a prank. So, he pretended to be shocked and looked behind the Little Princess, saying in a terrified tone, “Ah, what is that?”
The Little Princess didn’t know why. She thought something had happened behind her; otherwise, why would Little Steven, who was usually so arrogant, be so scared? So she immediately stopped chanting the Incantation and turned her head to look. As a result, she found that there was nothing behind her. But at this moment, the sound of Old Xie chanting an Incantation came to her ears.
By now, even an idiot knew he had been tricked. The Little Princess was immediately furious. She turned her head and cursed Old Xie almost crying, “You… you are shameless!”
Unfortunately, Old Xie simply couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her. The only answer he gave was a stunning Lightning Spell. From the time the Little Princess turned her head to the time she turned back to curse, exactly four seconds passed. Old Xie’s Lightning Spell was formed in this gap and finally turned the Little Princess into a roasted suckling pig again. The poor child was electrocuted so that her golden hair stood up, her whole body was pitch black, and she fell to the ground sobbing.
Seeing this scene, the Ice Magic Saint Rui Li was instantly dumbfounded. Even the Old Mage almost popped his eyes out. Although he had imagined countless possibilities for Old Xie to win, he still didn’t expect him to win like this.
Rui Li reacted the fastest. She screamed and ran over to treat her student. Under her powerful Water Element spell treatment, the Little Princess woke up quickly, and her injuries were mostly healed. It was just that her body was still in a paralyzed state after the electric shock. She was very weak and didn’t even have the strength to stand up. However, although she couldn’t speak, her exquisite little face was full of grievance. The tears were just like the Yellow River overflowing, flowing endlessly!
Seeing this, Rui Li’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She couldn’t hold back the anger in her heart anymore. She turned her head and said angrily to Old Xie, “Little Steven, you went too far! How can you be so shameless?”
“May I ask, which rule of the Duel did I violate?” Old Xie asked unhurriedly, “If I fouled, then it is indeed very shameless. But if I didn’t violate the rules, I’m afraid the shameless person is the one who launches unreasonable attacks, right?”
“You…” Rui Li was immediately speechless when she heard this.
Indeed, Old Xie didn’t violate any rules at all. In fact, battles between Mages were not like those of Warriors, who only required fierce attacks. Instead, they encouraged the use of brains. Moreover, among the combat methods of Mages, various deceptive means emerged one after another, such as Invisibility Spell, Illusion Spell, Phantom Sound Spell, Mist Spell, and so on. Weren’t they all used to blind the enemy so as to achieve the goal of killing them?
It could even be said that the higher level the Mage, the more they needed brains. Sometimes, Mages with lower magic power could often defeat people with higher magic power by various means. Therefore, battles between Mages could completely be said to be a competition of wisdom. Like the method Old Xie used today, although it had some suspicion of taking shortcuts, standing at the height of a Mage Duel, he should not be blamed, but should be praised.
Actually, the Little Princess lost quite unjustly today. Because in her eyes, Old Xie, or Little Steven, was basically a retarded kind of guy. Who would have thought that this idiot-like person would suddenly play a trick? This was like a person who everyone knew was an honest kid. If he suddenly lied and deceived people one day, no matter how smart the guy was, he would almost certainly fall for it. But if this person was a known liar, then when he deceived again, people would naturally be careful, and the difficulty of deceiving would greatly increase.
It was precisely because the Little Princess took Old Xie for the honest kid from before that she fell for such a big trick. She was extremely unlucky. Otherwise, even if Old Xie wanted to win against the Little Princess, it definitely wouldn’t have been this easy. He would have had to reveal at least a little of his true strength.
After Rui Li was stopped by Old Xie’s question, her old face turned red with holding back, but she couldn’t say a word. Old Xie didn’t let her off. He immediately mocked, “Not only did you teach a stupid student, but you also indulged the student in being shameless during the Duel. But in the end, even the shamelessness lost. And someone actually still has the face to blame others? I’m afraid this is the real shamelessness!”
“Ah!” Rui Li was so angry that she almost vomited blood from Old Xie’s sarcasm. With her angry roar, a surging cold wave immediately spurted out from her whole body. The surrounding ground almost instantly formed ice crystals.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Old Mage quickly reached out and cast a Magic Shield on Old Xie, protecting him firmly. Then he waved his hand and sent Old Xie out of the hall. Old Xie didn’t want to fight Rui Li either. After all, she was a Magic Saint. It was enough to vent his anger and feel refreshed for a while. If they really fought, Old Xie, whose real age was only thirteen, was no match for her. Although Old Xie was arrogant, it didn’t mean he was stupid. Knowing he couldn’t win, he definitely wouldn’t go looking for a beating. So he ran away along with the Old Mage’s force.
