Chapter 7: Fighting Against Fate

Old Xie actually had many secrets hidden from the Old Mage Geralf Stephen. Besides his own kung fu, the beast taming matter was also carried out secretly. But even so, the Old Mage Geralf was still incredibly amazed at Old Xie’s talent. In his view, at the age of only thirteen, it would be good to become a Magic Apprentice, but Old Xie not only became a primary Lightning Element Mage but could also simultaneously cultivate Natural Magic, also at a primary level. Moreover, both of Old Xie’s Spells could be cast instantly.

You know, the talent for instant casting was extremely precious for the Human Race. If one in ten thousand ordinary people could be a Mage, then among ten thousand Mages, only one had the talent for instant casting! Legend had it that instant casting was a talent only Magical Beasts possessed. Among the Orcs who were relatively close to the bloodline of Magical Beasts, quite a few people inherited this talent, and Old Xie possessed this talent precisely because he had the bloodline of the Naga Prophet!

This talent was undoubtedly extremely power ful, because Mages could only cast low-level Spells instantly after reaching the level of an Archmage, but Old Xie could do it from the start. With a raise of his hand, he could catch low-level Mages who were chanting spells off guard, truly abnormal! Therefore, every time Old Mage Geralf mentioned Old Xie’s talent, he described it with a tone of near jealousy!

Actually, speaking seriously, the Old Mage Geralf treated Old Xie really well. He generally wouldn’t refuse Old Xie’s requests, but he just wouldn’t let Old Xie go out, even going so far as to threaten with force, which made Old Xie extremely annoyed. Old Xie was a straightforward person. Since he found the goal, he didn’t talk nonsense anymore, just cultivated hard with all his strength, determined to beat the old guy up!

However, Old Xie was, after all, an Expert who had cultivated for so many years. He was very clear about the strength comparison between the enemy and himself. According to Old Xie’s estimation, he would need to cultivate hard for at least 30 years to defeat the Old Mage, which was not a short time! Old Xie didn’t want to live in this broken place for thirty years, so he planned to find an opportunity to sneak attack the old guy. As the saying goes, heaven rewards the diligent. Finally, on this day, he really waited for an opportunity.

On this day, Old Xie was meditating in his cell as usual. According to the rules of previous years, Old Mage Geralf should be out collecting magic materials now and would not be back for at least a month. But for some reason, on this day, the Old Mage appeared in the cell very suddenly. As soon as Old Xie saw his pale face and tired expression, he immediately realized with surprise that his opportunity seemed to have come! This old guy was obviously over-consuming his Magic Power for some reason, so his strength was greatly reduced. It was estimated that he could only display less than half of his ability now. Old Xie compared his own combat power in his heart and immediately made a decision: beat that damn guy.

He saw the Old Mage Geralf open the iron lock of the cell slightly hurriedly, then came in front of Old Xie, looking at Old Xie’s face with contemplation, as if thinking about something, seeming to intend to make a major decision.

Old Xie saw this and was shocked in his heart, thinking, is this guy planning to use me for a magic experiment? He had seen the ruthlessness of the old guy. In order to study Potion, he often gave the newly refined Potion to the Imps here to eat. In these thirteen years, at least a hundred Imps had been poisoned to death by his Potion. There were also living Magical Beasts that were often dissected by him. Just what Old Xie saw, no less than fifty different Magical Beasts had suffered the bad luck of live dissection. Old Xie didn’t want to become a ghost under his knife, so his determination to resist became firm again.

He didn’t wait for the old guy to speak, but first gave Old Mage Geralf a sweet smile, which stunned the old guy. He didn’t know why Old Xie was smiling at him so lewdly! Just when Old Mage Geralf was puzzled, Old Xie suddenly made his move. He saw him suddenly raise his hand, and immediately released an incomparably dazzling white light from his palm.

This was a new Spell improved and invented by Old Xie based on his specialty Lightning Spell, the Flash Spell. In this world, people seemed to only be interested in pure destructive Spells and rarely studied such auxiliary things. Old Xie naturally didn’t have such a simple idea. He originally disliked that the destructive power of the Lightning Spell was not as good as his fist, so he simply transformed it into an auxiliary Flash Spell. Of course, this transformation was carried out by him privately. Old Mage Geralf didn’t know about it at all, so when he encountered the Flash Spell this time, he suffered a big loss without any defense.

“Ah! Damn it!” Accompanied by a scream from the Old Mage, his eyes temporarily lost sight!

However, the old guy was an Expert who had experienced hundreds of battles after all. After being suddenly attacked, he did not panic. Instead, he first released a Magic Shield to protect himself, and then kept rubbing his eyes. At the same time, he cursed: “Bastard boy, what are you doing?”

“Of course, I’m beating you!” Old Xie wouldn’t give the Old Mage a chance to counterattack. While cursing angrily, he smashed his Behemoth heavy punch heavily on the Old Mage’s Magic Shield. With a surge of intense waves, the Magic Shield released by the Old Mage was almost shattered by one punch!

This result simply made the Old Mage feel incredibly shocked. You know, he was a Magic Saint? There were only a dozen or so Magic Saints among the millions of Mages in the entire human society. His Magic Shield would take a high-level Knight several hits to break, but looking at Old Xie’s appearance, it seemed like it would only take two or three punches, which was simply too incredible! After all, Old Xie was only thirteen years old this year! If outsiders knew that a thirteen-year-old child could unleash an attack more ferocious than a high-level Knight, it would definitely cause a sensation!

But Old Xie himself was still very dissatisfied. He mumbled: “Your turtle shell is really hard. Try taking another punch from me!” Saying that, he threw another punch.

Old Mage Geralf didn’t dare to take it hard this time. He hurriedly took out his Magic Wand, pointed it in the direction Old Xie was speaking, and roared: “Freeze Spell!”

He saw a large cluster of snow-white ice flowers shoot forward from the tip of the wand. Although the Old Mage couldn’t see, because the area covered by this Spell was too large, almost covering the entire front of the Old Mage, it happened to hit Old Xie, who was close at hand, freezing him into a big ice lump on the spot!

The Old Mage then did not dare to neglect, quickly using a small Water Element Spell to treat his eyes, and soon recovered his sight. Then, he angrily planned to settle the score with Old Xie. However, his anger had just risen when he was scared away by the terrifying scene in front of him! It turned out that the big ice lump freezing Old Xie actually began to crack, and soon loosened into a pile on the ground, and Old Xie, who broke out of the ice, directly threw a punch at the Old Mage’s face. The first thing the Old Mage saw after recovering his sight was Old Xie’s fist, which was almost the size of a basin!

“Peng!” With a loud noise, the Old Mage’s Magic Shield was broken. The Old Mage himself was shaken so much that he retreated repeatedly, finally stopping after hitting the iron railing. This time, the pain made his bones feel like they were crisp! But he didn’t dare to neglect in the slightest, because the angrily rushing Old Xie had already followed up with a stride. That fist, heavier than an iron hammer, was already ready to go and was about to land on his head. The Old Mage now had no doubt about the terrifying power of this iron fist. He understood in his heart that if he was hit by Old Xie, even if his head was made of stone, it would be smashed to pieces!

Helplessly, at this critical moment concerning his old life, the Old Mage no longer dared to hide his skills. He quickly took out his real ability and shouted loudly: “Freeze for me!” Subsequently, the Binding Spell he cast instantly using only Mental Power bound Old Xie on the spot!

Old Xie felt that the air around him seemed to suddenly turn into solid Refined Steel, making his wild power nowhere to be used. He was also shocked by the powerful strength of the old guy in his heart. However, he had, after all, experienced countless battles. Although he was in a dangerous situation, he was not chaotic at all. He calmed his mind while struggling hard, intending to break free from the Old Mage’s imprisonment with his powerful strength!

While trapping Old Xie, the Old Mage was not feeling well either, because this Imprisonment Spell was a guided Spell that had to be controlled constantly. So he didn’t dare to relax in the slightest, otherwise, Old Xie would break free, and once he broke free, Old Xie’s big fist could smash him to death alive. So, the two people just fell into a stalemate like this.
