#VIP section“Are my eyes deceiving me? Are those elemental veins I see coursing through that boy’s body?” The Head Abbot of the Vajra Academy couldn’t help but blurt out, as he watched Alec being beaten. “No matter how many times we try to deny it, there is no doubt about what we are witnessing at this very moment, those are indeed earth elemental veins, that little twerp is just incredibly lucky,” the Dean of the Bloodline Academy chimed in, unable to resist giving a compliment.“But I still can’t begin to fathom how this little mage, who hasn’t even reached the high rank, is able to evolve his element affinity to the manipulation stage.” “ And if I’m not mistaken, he is awakening the earth element, given the brown colour coursing through his veins and merging with his blood,” Christopher Lightbringer, the Vicar General of the Holy Grail Academy, added.“It appears that the War God Mage Academy will soon return to its glory days with the acquisition of such a genius, and with tha

He gathered the blood in his mouth and spat it onto the ground before accepting the option presented by the system. Though he didn't fully understand the details, but he knew it would undoubtedly benefit him. Deciding to go all in, he believed that nothing could be worse than the pain he had just endured."You better be worth every cent I'm paying," Alec muttered inwardly as he watched the system interface disappear a
“And the winner is Alec Gordons!” the referee announced quickly, after realizing that Omar had lost consciousness the moment his mental energy passed by the Quick sand again. Without wasting even a split second, he rushed toward the quicksand and plunged his hand in, dragging Omar Khan out to prevent any further injuries. Alec, who stood nearby, could feel the oppressive aura that was emanating from the referee’s body directed towards him, attempting to pressure him into kneeling. The referee was furious with Alec’s defiance and had been looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson. And now, he saw a chance to exert pressure on Alec without anyone suspecting, as the crowd of spectators would probably blame Alec falling due to his injuries and bloodied appearance. However, his plan backfired; not only did Alec refuse to kneel, but he was now staring at the referee with a displeasure that was even more intense than before.Alec was aware that the referee held a bias against th
Bodhi came to a stop, bending lightly and placing his sword in front of him, after observing Alec’s lackluster attitude and minimal movement, Bodhi suspected that Alec refrained from moving to prevent exacerbating a critical internal injury he had incurred when he faced Omar. However, his suspicions didn’t end there, as from the moment he had released his Qi-infused slashes, Bodhi had noticed that Alec restricted his movement to the bare minimum, only mobilizing his hands when necessary for spellcasting. With this observation in mind, Bodhi decided to test his theory that Alec had become completely ineffective in close combat situations.This curiosity drove Bodhi to close the distance between himself and Alec, wanting to challenge Alec’s capabilities in close-quarters combat. As it seemed suspicious to Bodhi that someone like Alec, who has now become known for his proficiency in close combat, suddenly resorted to attacking from a long range. So in order to put his theory to the
[> Mid Tier Spell – Raging Waves <]After successfully preventing Alec from using his new set of sand control spells, Bodhi finally decided to test him based on his coordinator’s suggestion. He moved his hands backward, connecting his Mana with water element particles in the air, as he conjured a powerful water wave behind him. With a swift motion, Bodhi directed the water towards Alec’s stationary position.“I can’t believe I’m witnessing such an advanced version of the water wave spell from another person, he must have dedicated himself to rigorous practice to elevate the spell to the Mid Tier level,” Selene commented for the first time, since Alec stepped onto the stage to fight, and probably she only did that cause she was impressed by the dedication Bodhi had put in practicing his water element spells.But instructor Jasper, was filled with rage, and questioned Selene’s seemingly calm demeanour. “How can you sound so composed? The captain of our team is on the brink of defea
The Dean of the War God Academy couldn’t help but squint his eyes to get a better look at the image of the two demonic beasts tattooed on Alec’s back. He was quick to notice that one of them bore a striking resemblance to the Golden Horned Drake that was still missing, albeit in its youngling stage. But no matter how much he tried to rationalize how such a phenomenon had occurred that a similar beast was inked on Alec that it gave a feeling of life, he found himself perplexed and unable to come up with any answers.“This Alec certainly holds many secrets. Well, regardless, he is back in good health, which is a positive turn, at least now I still have a chance of winning,” the Dean thought to himself as he reflected on his bet with the Head Abbot of the Vajra Academy, who sat beside him.In contrast, the Head Abbot remained unusually quiet at that moment. Throughout Alec’s relentless pummelling by Omar Khan, the Head Abbot had been laughing and mocking the Dean of the War God Acade
Although the spectators perceived Alec’s movements as slow, but the top experts among them could discern a small gravity field surrounding him. They couldn’t quite comprehend how Alec achieved this, but they were certain that he was manipulating the force-field to create a zero-gravity situation for himself. This clever manipulation rendered Alec unaffected unlike his surroundings that was under the effect of the zero gravity, and this was all because he was using himself as a conduit to cast the spell, Alec became the center of a space that was slightly distorted, disrupting the flow of time to some extent. However, these subtle distortions were not easily discernible to the lower realm spectators, thus making it challenging to gauge the true speed at which Alec was drawing his blades.In a captivating display, Alec tightly gripped his dual blades with the Bloody Changdao burning with his red flames and the Bone Katana blazed with black flames. As he slowly unsheathed the both
“Thank you,” Bodhi expressed his gratitude as he gripped Alec’s hand, using it to support himself as he regained his footing, despite having fallen from such a great height, his Tier 5 Mage physique allowed him to endure much of the impact, resulting in only a few broken bones and no life threatening injuries. He used his left hand to shield the region where his ribs showed signs of injury.“And the winner is Alec Gordons!” The referee was compelled to declare Alec as the victor of the match. Although the crowd had been chanting for Alec after witnessing his powerful final move against the water snake, but it didn’t necessarily guarantee his immediate victory in the match.And this was because Alec had not directly attacked Bodhi, but had targeted the snake instead, after Bodhi realized the referee’s reluctance, he waved his hand in surrender, forcing the referee to acknowledge Alec’s triumph. This admission of surrender, along with the roar of the audience, left the referee with
