"Huh!" Elijah suddenly froze as he stopped in his tracks.Turning around, he saw the direwolf running after him. It was like a dog running after its owner who was just going out for exercise."Why are you following me?" Elijah frowned looking at the beast.Though he knew it was a foolish thing to say, he still felt like saying it as this was the only thing that could make him feel better."We don't have any grudges, so why are you still following me?" Elijah continued looking at the direwolf.Just as though the direwolf understood what Elijah was saying, it moved closer to Elijah and used its massive head to rub him."You want to follow me around?" Elijah muttered, looking confused.Just like it understood what Elijah had said, the Direwolf nodded its big head, its tail wagging due to excitement while also sticking out its tongue.Elijah's brows scrunched up seeing this. He had never heard of a beast following a mage around willingly. Most of the time, they were captured and forcefull
Everyone froze in shock, staring at Elijah incredulously. Didn't he know this was not the time to Joke, and yet he was trying to joke?He was just someone who had awakened one of the most useless abilities since the beginning of the time and yet, he was claiming to have killed the Thunder Roc.That was a freaking seventh-grade beast and even cultivators of the eighth and seventh level would think twice before engaging with such a beast.And yet, Elijah was saying he had killed the beast. What kind of ridiculous Joke was that? He had to learn his place and not joke too much on serious matters.Elijah on the other hand had a smile on his face hearing what they had said.Yes, this was it. They needed to be in shock since they had all looked down on him, he was going to prove to them that he was useless."Are you sure you are the one who killed it, or do you just want to bring attention to yourself?" The vice principal's voice bombed, covering the whole place before anyone could say anyth
(The Next Day)Elijah walked into the school with a wide grin on his face. He was very happy with the result he got from absorbing the Sky Jade Fruit.He had successfully broken through and now he was a level eight mage. At the same time, his upper limit of clones had increased to ten.As long as he was willing, he could create ten clones on a whim while still retaining a large amount of his mana.Also, the time he could spend was much that he had yet to figure out.He had created about four clones yesterday after he was woken up due to the energy that surged into his body from the clones that had just finished cultivating, after which he broke through.The clones he had created since then were still with him and he had asked them to stay at home to continue cultivating.When he got to school, he created another one and sent him to the library while he headed to the battle Arena of the school.Soon, Elijah got to the battle Arena and looked around with a glint flashing in his heart ey
The command came from the highest seat which was for the Judges. They were using a microphone which made it loud enough for everyone to hear."The Completion has now begun!" The voice continued.Immediately, a cheer went up from the crowd all roaring with excitement as they couldn't wait to watch the students fight."Silence!" The voice boomed once again.Immediately, the place quieted with everyone's attention on the judge who was talking.There were a total of four seats on the Judges' side. The judge holding the microphone was a tall lanky man with a calm aura surrounding him."I heard he's the only one who can rival the principal and the vice principal in the whole school." Fatty Fang whispered to Elijah."What's more, he's a wind Mage just like me." He continued, looking at the man with his eyes sparkling in excitement."As long as I can develop and learn spells, I'll be able to reach and surpass him in no time. I just need a little bit of time."Elijah forced a smile looking at
The next moment, wind gathered, rotating in a spiral manner, and headed towards the crystal bullets canceling it out, the remaining force of the rotation pushed the attacker out of the ring.Everyone looked in shock at the unlucky attacker who had just been eliminated. They couldn't help but take a mental note of Fatty Fang who was by Elijah's side."Boss, if not for the fact that I'm still stuck at level eight, this spell is supposed to be even more powerful." Fang Yuan boasted."Yeah, I can see that." Elijah nodded, feeling shocked in his heart.He wasn't sure if he would be able to block a spell of that scale. Though it was not too destructive since the fatty was yet to be mastered, the force behind it was still enormous.And he was just one of the weakest, and he would have to fight to the top.Seemed like it was time to take everyone seriously. Though he was tempted to ask the fatty for his spell, he thought against it.Spells were usually family inheritance and were not somethin
The next moment, the floor was covered in ice and spread rapidly towards Elijah.Seeing this, Elijah placed his hands on the shoulders of one of his clones, pressed downwards, and used the momentum to jump, landing a few moments later.By then, the ice had already covered the legs of his clones restricting their movement.Elijah frowned looking at ice. He could feel the chill, but it was not enough, it seemed like Franklin had yet to master the spell completely."Let me tell you, that's a Heaven Grade spell and if not for Franklin's level being so low, its destructive power is far more than that.""Yes, I've once witnessed a level six mage use it to install a horned boar."Whispers came from all around as all the students were whispering to themselves.Elijah frowned and looked at the spell with a frown. Though the range of the spell was not wide, he could still sense its destructive power."You're quite good, but that's not enough." Franklin's sneer came pulling Elijah out of his tho
"How dare you!" Franklin sneered, turning around almost immediately to intercept Elijah."Too late." Elijah chuckled and raised his sword hitting Franklin's hands causing the wand to fly out of his wand.The next moment, he raised his legs and kicked the latter sending him flying directly out of the ring.Instantly, everywhere went silent as no one was expecting this outcome. Someone with one of the most useless abilities of all time had managed to defeat someone with one of the strongest abilities.That was absurd. Had the world started changing.Elijah couldn't care less about this and walked back toward the fatty with a smile on his face.In the last attack that Franklin made, he switched positions with his clones and then moved backward, turning all the way around behind Franklin.Since everyone's attention was on Franklin, they didn't notice him. Also, just after the explosion, he dispersed his clones just to make sure to achieve the desired effect."Cough!"One of the judges cou
"Boss, do you think I would stand a chance?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at Elijah as they walked back to their seats. "That'll depend on your opponent." Elijah chuckled. He now had a rough understanding of how the mages of this world fought. It would be quite a hassle to snatch the first position. He would have lost to Franklin if the latter hadn't underestimated him. The others would have learned from Franklin's mistake and thus they wouldn't underestimate him. But that wasn't the case here. He still had some tricks in his sleeves. He had to win at all costs even if it meant showing he could use other abilities. Though he would prefer not to show that he was able to use other abilities, at least not for now. In the future, they would know, but by then, he would be strong enough to protect himself. "Boss, if we are put against each other, I won't fight you, I'll give up." Fang Yuan Suddenly said, bringing Elijah out of his thoughts. "And why's that?" Elijah frowned looking at the
Instantly, a solid ice wall formed around Kain, blocking all the attacks from the clones."Crack!" A loud cracking sound resounded throughout the whole stadium; cracks appeared on the circular ice wall, and the force of the collision forced Elijah and his clones backward.A gasp resounded throughout the stadium seeing this. They had never seen Kain use this move before.Maybe this was a new spell he had just learned, and from the looks of it, the spell was quite powerful as even Elijah was not able to break through it even with his monstrous physical strength.Elijah regained his steps and raised his head to look at Kain. Much to his shock, the crack that he made on the ice wall was repaired by itself.Knitting his brows, he couldn't help but remember Austin's earth spell.Seemed like this was going to be even more of a problem for him. But he was going to try his best.If only he could use any of his spells, then he would have long ended the fight, but he had to make sure that he di
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
(A Week Later)"Boss, did you witness the fight between Kain and Ella?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at Kain."No, I wasn't able to come." Elijah shook his head.It had been a week since his fight with Ella and it was just today he was coming back to the school and this was because it was the last day of the tournament.All the other fights had been concluded and now he would be fighting Kain. He had spent the week recuperating.The injuries he received from Ella were not small and he needed quite a lot of time to recuperate, as a result, he didn't go to school."Boss, the fight was shocking." Fang Yuan said excitedly."Though Ella lost in the end, she still managed to put Kain into a tough position." Continued Fang Yuan."But Kian was able to win in the end.""So if you fight with Kian and you win, you'll be taking the first position, but even if you lose, you'll still be taking the second position.""I envy you, boss." Fang Yuan rambled on, non stop.Elijah smiled and didn't say anythin
"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
No! They were wrong, it was not just a figure, it was six figures, all holding a wooden sword, slashing through the vines until there was nothing left."Huh?"A gasp spread across the stadium as Elijah's figure came back into view.Even the Judges were shocked to see him. At the moment, his shirt was torn, revealing his muscular upper body. Beside him were five clones holding a wooden sword and slashing the Vines at an incredible speed.Everyone's mouth was wide open and even an egg would fit in at the moment. Elijah's mana reserve was monstrous. The vines covering him were comparable to a mountain and under that Pressure, he was able to create five clones and slash through the vines at an incredible speed all while using his mana.Elijah on the other hand had a smirk on his face as he looked around. His main aim at the moment was to look for the core of the vine forest.Just after the vines covered him, he created five clones and slashed the vines together, but they were too slow.T
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
Elijah walked onto the stage and glanced at his opponent. For a moment, he felt his heartbeat increase."So this was what she looked like," Elijah muttered, looking at Ella up close.She was surprisingly beautiful, the demeanor surrounding her was one of a kind that he had never seen.It would give one relief at the same time danger. It all depended on which side one wanted to see."You did a good job defeating Austin." Ella suddenly said, looking at Elijah."It's nothing." Elijah smiled, his heart racing, observing Ella. She was just how the rumors had said.Calm! But behind that calmness was ruthlessness and if one was to believe in her beautiful face, then that was the end.Fang Yuan told him stories of how ruthless she was and it wouldn't be shown until she was fighting either Austin or Kian.Now that Elijah had defeated Austin, he was going to fight her instead, so Fang Yuan felt like he should tell Elijah everything."Fight!"The command of the referee came, pulling Elijah out o
(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
Austin dashed towards Elijah, his eyes fixed on the real Elijah, as for the clones, he couldn't care less about them. According to the laws of the universe, clones were not as strong as the original body. So Elijah forming four clones meant that each one would be weaker than the other. Having this in mind, he launched a punch at the real Elijah, but before he could punch Elijah, a clone appeared in his front, blocking the punch. Before he could react, another sent a sweeping kick towards him from his right. Austin smirked, raising his hands, and blocked the punch. The third clone appeared by his left and punched his abdomen, while another appeared at his back, punching him. "Crack!" A loud sound resounded throughout the place. The earth on Austin's abdomen and back cracked and fell off. "Puff!" But in return, the two clones disappeared with a puffing sound. Under Elijah's command, they had used all the strength they could muster to deliver that punch, as a result, they became
