Chapter 1109 Making a Great Magic of Reduction

“Good!”

As the last remnant of the Sun Worm fell on the illusion screen, a loud cheer erupted from one of the spectators on the judges’ panel, followed by applause from the other wizards. These wizard spectators hadn’t been watching the competition closely enough to notice that Edgar’s use of “Return to the Tree of All Things” had confused the purity of the Void Forged Great Calamity Worm, causing the Ten-Day Worm’s potential level to actually decrease, making it unable to resist Locke’s magic.

If it were a real Ten-Day Worm, the Void Forged Great Calamity’s immortality might not have been so easily broken.

However, in the eyes of these wizard spectators, it was Locke who had defeated the Ten-Day Worm that none of them could have dealt with alone.

One of the lower-ranked Moon Ring Academy deans spoke up, “Although the Ten-Day Bug’s power is only illusory, its illusory expansion and immortality make it typically require hundreds of Star Ring Wizards or a dozen Moon Ring Wizards working together to defeat and eliminate it on the battlefield. Yet, Locke has single-handedly dealt with this illusory bug. If he were to travel to the new route in the future, he might achieve great feats on the Zerg battlefield, acquire abundant resources, and gain the qualification to establish a Zerg laboratory on the Zerg battlefield.”

An old Moon Ring Wizard beside him smiled and narrowed his eyes. “He’s not a wizard from the Insect Curse School, what kind of laboratory would he set up over there?”

“However, the Ten-Day Worm is indeed a troublesome problem that requires an entire wizarding army to solve. I really didn’t expect him to be able to solve it all by himself.

” “Not only is the Ten-Day Worm dead, but the Mother Worm is also dead. Although there are still worm eggs in the Creation Lotus World, and these eggs are definitely difficult to completely eliminate, the problem is that the swarm has lost its Mother Worm. As long as we can prevent the remaining worm eggs from giving birth to a Mother Worm, then the swarm disaster prevention will be considered a complete success. In this situation in the Creation Lotus World, we can already say that the biological disaster prevention has been successful.”

Many wizards nodded in agreement, whispering among themselves, judging the situation in the Creation Lotus competition arena.

A wizard pointed to the illusion screen in the sky and said, “Mr. Augustine seems to be forging his ultimate magic. Everyone, look! A magical plant seems to have appeared in the sky above the World of Creation Lotus. That looks like—good heavens, isn’t that the dominant species of the Bitter Love Tree genus? My goodness!”

Everyone looked up at the Bitter Love Tree in the sky. The Bitter Love Tree genus is the second-ranked magical plant genus in the order Primitive Flowers. Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. The order is a group of magical plants that share a common plant essence ancestor. Generally, comparisons of the superiority or inferiority of magical plants are within the scope of the order, because the scope of the order is already large enough. Beyond this scope, it is basically difficult to discuss the superiority or inferiority of magical plants. What can be discussed is only the superiority or inferiority of certain functions.

The *Bitter Love Tree* genus is therefore extremely important in the field of breeding. Research on a single *Bitter Love Tree* species can support countless wizarding academies across various wizarding lands.

At this moment, the *Bitter Tree*, as an outstanding representative species of the *Bitter Love Tree* genus, naturally attracted the collective attention of countless wizards. Many wizards showed interest, but unfortunately, they couldn’t get close to it. Furthermore, among the wizards patrolling the area were the competition committee led by Grandet, Bella, and others, as well as a large number of high-ring wizards. Therefore, they could only suppress their thoughts and inwardly marvel at the genius of the wizard Probus from sixty years ago, who possessed such a high-quality magical plant.

Many research groups fought tooth and nail for a single representative species, yet Probus’s laboratory actually had a superior representative species, ranking among the top in the Primitive Flower Order.

A Star Ring Wizard from the Rain Swamp sighed, “A dominant representative species—this is something we wouldn’t even dare to dream of. Our family doesn’t even have a single dominant representative species. If Probus hadn’t died, how much he would have accomplished—and Locke mentioned before that the Ten Kings Bottle was Probus’s idea, right? He said it when he was creating the Five Kings Bottle.

It’s clear how much Probus would have accomplished in the last sixty years if he were still alive, how many representative articles he would have published.”

“What a pity,” said

the Frost Witch sitting beside him, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth. She removed her wizard’s mask, and a Star Ring Wizard beside her said, “What a pity about Wizard Probus. The things he left behind sixty years ago can still influence so many people. That’s what a wizard should be like.”

The Frost Witch added, “But he still didn’t become a Moon Ring Wizard.”

The wizard beside her looked at the Frost Witch strangely.

“Why do you keep arguing on this point, witch? You refuted me before. While becoming a Moon Ring Wizard is a great achievement, it only strengthens oneself. The Ten Kings Bottle, the Five Kings Bottle, and the dominant species—these are the things a wizard truly achieves. A Star Ring Wizard who makes consecutive major discoveries is no less valuable than a blank Moon Ring Wizard, and perhaps even more so in the eyes of the White Wizarding Association.”

Another wizard beside him coughed repeatedly.

But this wizard couldn’t stop talking, continuing, “The White Wizarding Association has truly forged an important unforged stage, establishing that the wizarding world’s status is primarily supported by academic achievements, rather than the old system where whoever has the highest magic level has the most power. A blank Moon Ring Wizard is far inferior to a Star Ring Wizard of Probus’s caliber. Moreover, if Probus hadn’t died, he would be at least a Sun Ring Wizard, if not a Third Ring Wizard. So why do you keep bringing up the Moon Ring?”

“How important is it, really, whether it’s a Moon Ring or not?”

The Star Ring wizard beside him coughed repeatedly, giving him meaningful glances.

But the wizard continued rambling on.

“I, Richard, just want to explain in detail—I just feel that Wizard Probus deserves respect today. I think there might be something fishy about the experimental accident he caused back then. Of course, although Wizard Locke Augustine in the competition comes from another wizarding land, he—is also a very excellent wizard. I really look forward to the day he publishes the method for making the Ten Kings Bottle and submits the article. I wonder where this article will be published?”

The Star Ring wizard beside him finally couldn’t help but poke his waist, and then whispered in his ear, “This Moon Ring wizard is the Frost Witch.”

Wizard Richard’s eyes changed, then he coughed, and then awkwardly turned his head away from the Frost Witch.

The Frost Witch, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and clenched her fists. She never imagined that the victory she had believed in for the past sixty years was just an illusion.

Perhaps in her past, at the moment she first became a Moon Ring Wizard, she might have truly won. But as she became a Moon Ring Wizard and continued to live off her past achievements, she unknowingly fell far behind Probus Wizard, and even further behind her junior, Locke Augustine.

The White Frost Witch stood up, startling Richard Wizard. “What are you doing? There are wizards patrolling everywhere here—”

The White Frost Witch walked dejectedly out of the audience. In the eyes of many wizards, she was lost and disoriented, her back to the crowd, walking along the mountain path of Despair Valley. Her magical pressure was chaotic; her ultimate magic had suffered a tremendous blow due to the negligence and missteps of the past sixty years. Her ultimate magic was collapsing; her magical pressure fluctuated wildly, constantly dissipating outwards.

The wizard Grandet, still some distance away, took a step towards them. He then looked at one of the club’s Star Ring wizards and said, “Go and watch over Lady White Frost. Her great magic seems to be collapsing; something is very wrong with her. Use our club’s Moon Ring artifact, the Shadow Orb, to shield her and control the magical pressure emanating from her. Remember not to anger this Moon Ring witch, although I feel she’s in a very bad state and might not be a match for our club’s Star Ring wizards.”

White Frost walked listlessly along the mountain path, trying to descend the mountain, though she didn’t know where she was going.

A hooded wizard and the young wizard from the Seven Mountains appeared beside her.

The young wizard looked at the Frost Witch and chuckled, “How pathetic, Lady Moon Ring Witch.

I

feel like I’m watching a stray dog walking towards me.”

Another hooded wizard whispered, “Lady Frost Witch, if you hadn’t used such dirty tricks against Mr. Probus back then, you wouldn’t be in such a sorry state today. You had a bright future, but you

lost it for a moment’s gain. Do you regret it now?”

The Frost Witch raised her head, a fierce glint in her eyes. “Who are you? How dare a liquefaction wizard lecture me here?”

In an instant, immense magical pressure descended upon the liquefaction wizard. He gritted his teeth and refused to kneel, while the Frost Witch’s magical pressure suddenly became chaotic. She staggered back three steps. She had only used magical pressure to suppress others, yet she had been harmed by her own magic.

The Frost Witch immediately lost all interest in arguing with the liquefaction wizard. She glanced back, dejected, at the Ten Kings Bottle in Locke’s hand one last time, then walked forward. “So be it.”

“Ten—Kings—Bottle—”

“Pro—Boo—”

“Lock—Augustine—”

“Why is it that even though you’re dead, even though your reputation is infamous, even though people call you such a scoundrel, in the blink of an eye, everyone is missing you?”

The Frost Witch’s eyes were filled with confusion. She stumbled away, and the Death Witch Doctor appeared before her. The Frost Witch looked up at the Death Witch Doctor.

“Do you understand?”

After saying this, the Frost Witch’s eyes became even more confused. She walked into the distance. The structure of her Great Magic completely collapsed. The Great Magic: Frost Earth was in complete chaos. The out-of-control Great Magic not only made it impossible for her to forge new Great Magic, but it also occupied the position of her Great Magic, constantly backfiring on her soul.

Her condition had deteriorated to the extreme.

The Death Doctor didn’t stop the student; in his eyes, the student had been dead for decades.

He had a premonition that something like this would happen, but he hadn’t expected it to actually occur with the reopening of the investigation into the Valley of Despair laboratory at Golden Crown Mountain.

The Red Witch appeared before the Frost Witch.

The Frost Witch looked up at her, her eyes unfocused. “Mormodides—you are a traitor.”

Mormodides bowed to her.

“Senior Sister, you taught me magic on behalf of our teacher, taking care of me in every aspect of magical research and life. I believed your words and thought Probus was a bad person. Actually, whether he’s a bad person or not, I don’t know. Because everyone has their own opinion.”

“Senior Sister, I’m sorry.”

“Come back to the Southern Witch Capital with me, let’s start over. Even if we start over now, it’s not too late.”

The Frost Witch’s eyes were glazed over. “It’s too late. I was wrong, wrong from the very beginning, I was completely wrong. It’s too late.”

Mormodis carefully examined the Frost Witch’s condition and came to a chilling conclusion: the Frost Witch’s essence was declining in level. She had spent over sixty years essentially destroying her pseudo-forging, and if that destroyed pseudo-forging could return to unforged or unrefined state, it would be a truly divine achievement. The destroyed pseudo-forging not only

failed to stabilize in the second ring region but continued to drop to the first ring, and was even declining further.

However, the Frost Witch’s magical pressure was still at the limit of the Star Ring.

This caused her magical pressure to continuously leak outwards, but even so, her magical pressure was still too immense. Excessive magical pressure coupled with a weak essence would inevitably lead one astray.

“Pseudo-forging has constancy, but that also means it’s not as easy to modify as unrefined forging,”

Mormodis said. “The fake forging might break down—”

“Senior sister, your fake forging has collapsed on its own. Your fake forging is ruined.”

“Senior sister, come back to the academy with me. Your condition is extremely dangerous. We need to ask all the high-ring wizards in the academy to come together and stabilize your condition. I can take out a loan with you; we can always raise the money for treatment—”

The White Frost Witch walked past her, her eyes glazed over. Excessive form can control substance.

At this moment, her mind was broken, her beliefs collapsed, and her fake forging was ruined. She was almost no different from a cripple, or even worse, although she could still use moon-ring level magic.

Mormodice watched the White Frost Witch’s departing figure. She chased after her for a while, but finding no sign of stopping, she finally stopped as well.

“Senior Sister, I’m sorry. But I admire Locke’s character, and we wizards should pursue true knowledge. You were truly wrong.”

“You should have changed long ago, instead of letting sixty years pass, allowing the damage to accumulate until now, your heart and spirit are dead, your Great Magic has collapsed, and you can no longer correct yourself.”

“False Forging – Small Leather—”

Mormodice looked at the illusion screen in the sky, where the competition was being filmed. “Locke, let me witness your Great Magic – False Forging – Small Leather.”

At this moment, the Great Magic – All Things Return to the Tree, as Locke shot down the ten suns, was also on the verge of collapse. Edgar’s body was constantly under immense pressure. As the Elf Empire was about to collapse, the sky of the Rain Realm was constantly encroaching on the earth, trying to expand by taking advantage of the collapse of the Great Magic – All Things Return to the Tree.

Locke’s avatar walked to the deepest part of the jungle, where the Tree of Prosperity automatically transformed into a seed and began to grow anew. Due to the omnipotence of the Ancient Tree of Life, this new Tree of Prosperity grew into a peach tree, lush and verdant, with peaches hanging from its branches, its branches crackling with lightning.

This lightning was not true magic of the Evocation School, but rather mental lightning created through top-level meditation.

Powerful life magic permeated the area, every detail of the Tree of Prosperity revealing a magnificent and powerful life magic. Locke had used all his accumulated knowledge of life magic in this, while the Three-in-One Hybridization Cultivation Method served as the foundation, consistently permeating the process. Through the yin and yang of the Three-in-One, different plant essences collided, maximizing biodiversity.

When the magical pressure of the Tree of Prosperity reached the limit of the Star Ring, a branch that was not growing well appeared on its branches. At that instant, a bolt of mental lightning struck, and that branch instantly transformed into a fireball that flew into the distance.

“Decline begins with prosperity. Everything makes mistakes at its peak, and as decline begins, those mistakes grow larger and larger, becoming unstoppable. This applies to people, industries, the world, and wizarding academies. Therefore, wizards must strive for truth, constantly reflect on themselves, and turn the blade inward for change—this is minor reform.”

Locke’s Tree of Prosperity was enveloped in lightning. The Tree of Prosperity was now composed of two parts: first, life magic, and second, top-tier meditation.

Therefore, improving either one would enhance one’s ultimate magic—the Tree of Prosperity.

The reason the Tree of Prosperity could flourish forever was because it constantly self-reformed, actively destroying the undesirable forms that arose during its growth.

Locke extended his palm, and the Tree of Prosperity landed in it. He began his deduction. The magical pressure of the Tree of Prosperity continuously increased in his palm. At the moment the magical pressure reached its peak, the accumulated errors and the constantly appearing structural flaws in the spell caused the Tree of Prosperity to collapse instantly, withering away.

Locke then flipped his palm, and the Tree of Prosperity continued to grow in his palm. This time, as the magical pressure of the Tree of Prosperity reached its limit, it did not collapse instantly. This was because Locke was constantly using top-level meditation techniques to reduce the Tree of Prosperity into emptiness, reducing many of its forms and leaving only the good ones. It was constantly changing, so although the magical pressure of the Tree of Prosperity was constantly increasing and had reached the limit of the Star Ring, it did not show any tendency to collapse instantly.

“The Life School’s magic excels at bringing withered trees back to life, but withered magical plants need to undergo destruction before being reborn through seeds. This process is too damaging and easily affected and destroyed by external factors. The Creation Lotus World is an example; a few external factors caused it to become irrecoverable. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, one should avoid directly experiencing the cycle of death and rebirth.” “

Thus, Little Leather, by prioritizing truth-seeking and self-harm, eliminates the negative aspects, reducing the accumulation of errors. Only by constantly undergoing upward transformation can one maximize their potential and continuously strive for truth.”

Essentially, his Fake Forging Little Leather is a supplement to the pursuit of truth.

“At this moment, my Tree of Prosperity, through the Small Leap, avoided this situation and remained forever in prosperity. Prosperity is an increase in both quantity and quality, and only through the Small Leap can quantity and quality continue to increase.” “

Using a top-tier meditation method to reduce one’s own Great Spell to nothing seems to be a relatively rare thing in the wizarding world.”

Because Great Spells are inherently forms, using a top-tier meditation method to reduce them to nothing is, to some extent, counterintuitive.

For Star Ring Wizards, every increase in magic pressure requires enormous resources, countless magic stones. Reducing one’s Great Spell to nothing is like a nouveau riche squandering their vast wealth. But Locke doesn’t see this as squandering, because many Star Ring Wizards always think that the small increase in magic pressure they make is extremely important, forgetting that the mistakes accumulated during the process of increasing magic pressure gradually become a joke, turning all the previously increased magic pressure and consumed resources into a joke.

Therefore, the Small Leap is a subtraction, a subtraction to make oneself better.

Before Locke, very few wizards could successfully forge this kind of subtraction.

Therefore, no one would use top-tier meditation techniques to reduce their own immense magic to nothingness; it’s not just a matter of willingness, but also capability.

Locke’s subtraction replication and atavism are inherently subtraction methods, and he is naturally more adept at them.

Coupled with the use of the Ten Kings Bottle and the new structures of the ten bottle worlds, the discovery or new uses of the Four Holy Spirits’ Breath, and other energy-locking structures, imaginary roots, and spiritual breath, this academic accumulation allowed him to complete the subtraction of the False Forging: Minor Leather.

Of course, this also included his perception during the competition of the unfinished False Forging left behind by the Great Sage of the Dark Ages, the Holy Dragon Wizard, on Holy Dragon Star. He absorbed its essence, thus completing his own Minor Leather. At this moment, the Minor Leather is newly born, and there are still many aspects that need improvement and further refinement, but the prototype of this universal truth-level False Forging is already complete!

Of course, without sufficient life magic to support it, it is actually impossible to complete the Minor Leather.

Because every transformation is a form of harm to oneself, one must master sufficient spiritual breath techniques to withstand such harm.

The concept of “Little Leather” can only be established when there is sufficient vitality; otherwise, it’s suicide.

“Actively reducing the negative magical pressure on one’s body is to raise one’s upper limit. It’s a pity that many wizards in this world still don’t understand this principle.

” “The unchanging is my constancy,”

Locke pondered. “If I want to continue forging Pseudo-Forging Little Leather, which is my ultimate magic, Tree of Prosperity, I need to obtain more top-tier meditation methods. If I can obtain more top-tier meditation methods, it’s possible for my Pseudo-Forging Little Leather to continue to be completed, or even forge a true forging. This is a shortcut.”

In essence, the reason he can so easily forge a pseudo-forging of universal truth level is twofold: firstly, he truly dares to think and act, and secondly, he relies on the legacy of the Holy Dragon and the incredibly rich resources of top-tier meditation methods in the wizarding world.

Unfortunately, current wizards, despite possessing powerful tools like top-tier meditation techniques, only use them to refine their forms, neglecting to refine the forms of their ultimate magic.

The False Forging – Minor Transformation – Ultimate Magic – Tree of Prosperity innovates in this regard.

Locke, wielding the Tree of Prosperity, had reached the limit of the Star Ring in this world, poised to break through and become a Moon Ring Archmage. He instantly teleported to the stump of the Tree of All Things Returning to the Tree, and then the Tree of Prosperity appeared behind him, crackling with lightning like a thundercloud pressing down. The lightning coiled around the Tree of Prosperity then struck the stump of the Tree of Perfection. A bolt of lightning

struck.

The magical pressure of the Tree of All Things Returning to the Tree decreased slightly.

[Restore Copy]!

This is a special magic produced after the Ultimate Magic – Tree of Prosperity has essentially completed False Forging. It’s the third type of copy after the Mirror Copy and Subtraction Copy of the Ultimate Magic – Tree of Prosperity. This copy is restoration; it’s essentially using complex life magic, combined with top-tier meditation techniques, to directly revert an ultimate magic or magical plant back to its original state.

This magic only works on extremely powerful spells or magical plants whose transformations are not due to plant essence issues.

For example, it can affect magical plants enhanced by enchantments or those enhanced by spell models.

The Tree of All Things automatically defended itself. A life-enhancing magic array, created by Edgar, appeared on a War Ancient Tree Treant. However, a bolt of lightning from the Tree of Prosperity struck, obliterating the spell model and instantly restoring the War Ancient Tree Treant to its original state, even the amplification from the Tree of All Things vanishing.

Simultaneously, the magical pressure of the Tree of All Things decreased slightly.

Locke didn’t stop, continuing to unleash lightning from the Tree of Prosperity at the Tree of Perfection. With each strike, the Tree of Perfection’s magical pressure and radiance weakened. Edgar also controlled the Tree of All Things, preventing the extremely powerful spell from resisting.

An hour later, the extremely powerful spell, Tree of All Things, stopped weakening.

Edgar’s true form opened his eyes and thanked Locke, “Locke, thank you. If it weren’t for you, my Great Magic would probably have collapsed, and I would have fallen out of the Void Forge. Although I could have been forcibly kept in the Void Forge by the Unity of All Things, and then started over.”

Edgar glanced at the Tree of Prosperity covered in lightning in Locke’s hand.

“Restore and replicate—however, your ultimate spell is even more effective against botanical wizards.”

Locke nodded and said, “Although Restore and replicate can be used on all ultimate spells, it works best only with ultimate spells related to botany and breeding. This is related to my insufficient skill level. I originally wanted to directly revert your Tree of All Things back to the state before you entered the competition, that is, the stage before you started the pseudo-forging. But unfortunately, my magical level is still insufficient.”

“I cannot return your Tree of All Things to that state, I can only return it to the state when you just entered the competition. In this way, you can start over. At the same time, I will also exhaust the magical power I gained from eliminating the ten days.”

Edgar thanked him, “Locke, thank you.” “

However, a competition is a competition. Even so, we need to compete fairly. The one who can solve the creation problem must be me.”

Locke nodded, “Okay. We will compete fairly.”

Now that the swarm of insects has disappeared, what remains is to solve the creation problem.

At this moment, the sky suddenly trembled violently, and a star suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, that extremely hot star split into three.

Probus said to Locke, “Locke, without you using your Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity, I can voluntarily divide my Great Magic back into three. I have discovered the error of my previous ‘Unity of All Things’ strategy. Locke, this is the truth you sought.”

As the Great Magic in the sky was divided into three, Probus’s magical pressure rapidly decreased, from between the Star Ring and Moon Ring to the limit of the Star Ring. Simultaneously, his magical pressure continued to decline, even falling below the Star Ring limit to around 25,000, and it was still decreasing.

Probus said, “This magical pressure is all what I gained over the past sixty years by constantly attacking wizards for the sake of ‘False Forging – Infinite Evil Path.’ This magical pressure, seemingly beneficial to me, is actually harmful. It is of no use to me, and I must discard it.” “

Locke, thank you for giving me the courage to face my mistakes.” “

Locke, this is the truth you sought. Now, I finally have the ability to give it to you.”

The Bitter Tree in the sky released light and heat, attempting to break through the Water God’s Palace’s blockade.

The wizards of the Rain Marshland had been discussing Locke’s ultimate spell, the Tree of Prosperity, especially its Restoration and Replication spell. This was a spell that could benefit an entire area, allowing wizards to revert to their original ultimate spells, even if they weren’t omnipotent. Such ultimate spells were incredibly rare and valuable.

This made Locke highly sought after wherever he went.

However, upon witnessing the battle between the Bitterwood and the Water God’s Palace, they all stopped their discussion and stared in astonishment.

Many wizards were amazed that the upper echelons of the wizarding world could control the Water God’s Palace, and they wondered what its origins and purpose were.

Meanwhile, on the judges’ panel, the Star Ring Witch Demon Hunter Captain stood up. “Oh no!”

“This will provoke the wrath of that great man. These peasants—”

“How dare they?”

“Aren’t they afraid?”

Inside the Creation Lotus World, the Macedonian witch saw the Water God Palace illusion resisting the illusionary power of the Bitterwood. She frowned slightly, casually picked a cabbage from the ground, and threw it at the illusion.

“Why stop Probus from revealing the truth?”

“We wizards should seek the truth; what’s there to hide?”

“Let me see what shameful things you can find.”

The next moment, the cabbage fell onto the illusion of the Water God’s Palace. The Macedonian witch was more skilled in water magic, so she dealt with the illusion with ease. The illusion shattered instantly, and then the illusion of Bitterwood appeared directly within the entire World of Creation Lotus, in the eyes of the wizards in the Rain Marsh, and in the eyes of all the wizards who had purchased tickets to watch the live broadcast of the match online.

A bracelet held in the hand of the Star Ring Witch fell to the ground.

Her mouth gaped open, seemingly unable to believe that the Macedonian witch from the Reptile Garden dared to make a move.

“What’s wrong with young people these days? Don’t they know their place? Do they think the whole world must revolve around them?”

The surrounding wizards looked at her.

But the Star Ring Witch still shouted regardless, “Don’t you know that this world is inherently unfair? Why should the world be fair to you? Don’t you know to fear and respect more powerful wizards? The truth?

What’s the point of investigating? This world is a jungle, where the weak are bullied.”

“What are you all doing?”

The wizards from the Rainswamp looked at the witch with complicated expressions.

At that moment, the face of the important figure from the Starfield Sea appeared on the illusion screen. It was the face of a witch, dressed in extremely luxurious clothing. What appeared to be just an ordinary white wizard’s robe was actually covered with hidden, intricate embroidery patterns. Each thread was crafted by the most skilled textile wizards. A single robe like this could bankrupt many small wizarding academies. She

stood before Probus and the White Frost Witch.

At this moment, the three of them were standing amidst the Creation Lotus Problem from sixty years ago.

“Probus, I’ve heard you’ve always considered yourself superior to the White Frost Witch, and that you deserved the title of Guide of the New Century. Is that true? Since you’re so capable, why not have another contest with the White Frost Witch? I have a creation puzzle in my hand, called the Creation Lotus.”

“Let’s see who wins this contest.”

Wizard Probus’s face was solemn. He bowed respectfully and said, “My lord, the title of Guide of the New Century already belongs to the White Frost Witch. I concede defeat. I think this contest is unnecessary.”

The important figure looked directly at Probus with a sarcastic gaze and said, “So you’re admitting you’re inferior to the White Frost Witch?” “

In that case, you’ll need to write an article and publicly admit in the newspaper that you’re inferior to the White Frost Witch.”

Probus was extremely arrogant; his pupils suddenly contracted.

“No.”

“My lord, I don’t know why you’re so aggressive. I have no grudge against you.”

The important figure tilted his head back, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. “I just simply don’t like you.”

“I don’t like you.”

“Compared to someone like you, I much prefer someone as sweet-talking as the Frost Witch. I also don’t think our association’s resources should go to you. You need to understand, more important than talent and academic achievements is—being a good person.” “

I don’t know who’s been praising you. I only know that being with the Frost Witch makes me very happy, and when I invited you to join my team, you dared to refuse in public. You embarrassed me. Your emotional intelligence is so low; you don’t deserve the funds the association gives you.”

“Low emotional intelligence means you’re nothing, and you can’t be considered talented.”

The important figure looked at Wizard Probus with sarcasm.

Wizard Probus bowed again and said, “My lord, I refused you that day because I felt I wasn’t a good fit for your team’s research direction. I meant no disrespect. If that’s the reason, I can apologize.”

The important figure couldn’t help but laugh, “You apologize to me?”

“Do you even have the right to apologize to me?”

“Who are you? What’s your background? What family do you come from? How dare you be so arrogant as to think you can apologize to me?”

The White Frost Witch immediately flattered him, “Probus, you’ve always thought highly of yourself, but don’t misjudge yourself. You have absolutely no right to apologize.”

The important figure gave her a satisfied look.

Then she said to Wizard Probus, “In this world, for people of your background, there are three kinds of people, divided into three classes. The first class is the best, the obedient. This is the kind of person the White Frost Witch is; I consider her to be of the first class. The second class is those who, while not so obedient, dare not meddle and can endure. These people who love to endure everything are of the second class. The third class is people like you who cannot endure; they are the lowest of the low.” “

I had Ava threaten to cut off your funding to force you to come to the competition, just to tell you that you are nothing. In this world, only those who can please me are truly talented.”

“Now, do you admit that you are inferior to the White Frost Witch? If you admit it, I can pretend nothing happened.” A

look of understanding flashed in Probus’s eyes.

“So, can I assume that you, a great figure, have come all this way just because you don’t like me and want to make things difficult for me?”

The great holy master from the Starfield Sea laughed, “Consider it my amusement.”

Probus’s eyes were serious. “Then I will compete with the White Frost Witch, and I will show you with facts that your view is wrong. You are simply insane. From this moment until now, I have not been speaking to a wise wizard, but to a madman. I am truly disappointed.”

The important figure immediately raised his eyebrows in anger. “You dare to insult me.”

The scene froze.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The three thousand wizards of the second ring or above in the Rain Marshland were all high-ranking and powerful figures in this wizarding land. At this moment, hearing such outrageous words from the important figure from the Starfield Sea, they were all furious.

Dean Faust’s face was icy. “These words have seriously violated the spirit of the White Wizard Association when it was founded. I remember this person should be—”

The Red Dragon Throne’s eyes were complicated. “You dare not mention her name, but I dare. She is a third-ring wizard, a descendant of the [Holy Angel Wizard], one of the origin wizards of the Holy School.”

“She is the Vice-President of the Inquisition of the Holy Division of the White Wizard Association across the Starfield Sea.”

“I never imagined this matter was related to her. No wonder all my friends refused to discuss it

. “

“The Holy Division of the Starfield Sea can deeply influence applications for many projects and grants, so of course you’re avoiding the topic.”
