Elijah walked up to the stage with a smile on his face. His opponent was a medium-height figure, with a fit body and brown hair. "My name is Austin Lance. What's yours?" Elijah's opponent said, looking at him. "Elijah," Elijah replied, looking at the other party with a smile on his face. "I've heard stories about you, so I won't underestimate you and would be going all out right from the start," Austin said, his expression turning serious. "Not a problem," Elijah grinned, bringing out his wooden sword. "Fight!" The referee announced. "I'll be going all out, I won't underestimate you," Austin warned once again, looking at Elijah. Elijah nodded, he was ready for Austin's attack. He was scared even one bit. "Earth body." Austin chanted, bringing out his wan. The next moment, the earth rose, gathering around Austin and merging with his body, turning him into a dark-looking person made of earth. Elijah frowned seeing this, unlike the earth amour, this was practically like wearing

(Two Days Later) "Boss, do you know what the rewards for the first and second positions are?" Fang Yuan whispered as usual to Elijah as a match was going on. "Well, I heard it was the Heavenly Lightning Fruit," Elijah replied. This was the sole reason he had joined the competition which was to collect this fruit. The fruit would aid in his Cultivation and was very suitable for Lightning mages. But if one was not a Lightning Mage and still took the fruit, it would just push up one's Cultivation. If they were having a bottleneck, they would break through easily. "Exactly, but do you know what the second position price is?" Fang Yuan continued to ask. "No." Elijah shook his head. "Well, I heard the second position is the Sky Jade fruit and the third position gets a star moon fruit." Fang Yuan replied. "What about fifth to ten?" Elijah asked. "The school would give them three beast cores pertaining to their elements so they would be able to improve." "The rest gets nothing." Fan

The next moment, vines began to grow all around the ring turning the place into a forest with thick, long vines of different sizes. Ella's figure had disappeared immediately after she chanted the spell. To defeat her, he would need to find out where she was and force her to come out. He was sure that this spell would have taken up a lot of her mana. But there were still some problems, there were vines all over. Meaning Ella would be able to launch attacks on him easily. Besides, he could see the cursed buds all over and even the vines had thorns all over them which would cut through his flesh. "I don't think Elijah would win!" "Why?" "That's the same spell she used on Kian last year!" Voices muttered as everyone waited, wanting to see what Elijah was going to do. He was in Ella's domain. A spell domain was not something usually seen, but once the caster was able to learn and cast it successfully, then their chances of winning against their opponent would shoot up. Expect if

"Huh?"A gasp spread throughout the stadium, everyone looking at Elijah in shock and wondering if he had gone insane.He knew quite well that the thorns would pierce his skin the moment he used his mana, and yet he used it, what the heck was he thinking?The referee at the moment had his wand out, wanting to stop the battle and declare Ella as the winner cause it was obvious that she won.With Elijah unable to use his mana, he was destined to move. But for some reason, he didn't stop the battle and continued to watch."Slash!" Elijah continued to slash at the vines targeting him amidst the thick rain of thorns. He couldn't care less about the thorns on his body and just did as though they were not there.Just as Elijah turned around to slash one of the vines attacking him, another shot right behind him, holding his hand firmly.Before he could move, another one shot forward, restricting his other hand.The vines on the floor also crawled onto his legs restricting his movements.More v

Soon, Elijah came onto the stage facing Kain who was also staring at him with a calm expression. Elijah squinted his brows looking at Kain. He had to admit that the other party was quite handsome, he had never seen him up close But at the same time, he radiated a cold aura making his surroundings cold. Elijah couldn't help but frown a little and move backward. The coldness must be from the type of magic he was practicing. According to a book one of his clones came across, high-level mages had different kinds of aura. For example, an ice mage would radiate a cold aura, a fire mage would radiate a hot aura, a shadow mage would radiate a dark and chilling aura, and so on. It was usually dependent on the type of magic they were the strongest at. Also, mages like this could easily perform spells without chanting. Elijah wondered what kind of spell Kian had mastered for him to be able to radiate this kind of aura though he was just a peak level eight mage. "Elijah, I won't go easy on
