Chapter 165: Testing New Strength



Chapter 165: Testing New Strength

“Oii… You two.. How dare you flirt in front of me!!” shouted Neil from far away.

While completely ignoring Neil, “So, what are you planning today?” asked Angus.

“I planned to train a little bit. Since this place is quite safe for now, I want to try a few things.” said Jayna.

“Oii.. Don’t ignore me.” said Neil once more while being blocked by the nearby guards.

“Hmm.. Mind if I tag along? I also want to test my power a little bit.” said Angus.

Hearing this, Jayna’s expression became ecstatic. “Alright, then like usual?” asked Jayna back.

“Yup, like usual. But, first, let’s ask uncle Jade if he has any training area we could use.” said Angus.

Then, both of them walk towards Jade’s tent while completely ignoring Neil on the way. Fortunately, Neil got stopped before entering the tent and did not do complicated things.

Arriving inside Jade’s tent, “Ahh.. My nephew, is the preparation done? or you need something else… Wait… you managed to break through?” Jade was surprised at this revelation.

“Yes, uncle. After yesterday’s feast, I felt on the brink of breaking through and managed to do it yesterday.” said Angus.

“Hahaha… this is a joyous event.” laughed Jade happily.

It is common knowledge that people who live inside the Endless Battlefield dimension are stronger than people in the Firuman. Furthermore, their mana core is upgraded faster than normal because of the thick mana in the air. 

Still, to become a grade two at the age of 14 is already showing one talent and considering that most people in this world reach grade two at 18-19 years old. 

Unlike Jayna, who is merged with phoenix and becomes stronger every minute, Angus needs to rely on his talent. However, nobody knows that Angus has such a cheat existence like the idle system and heritage chi.

The major reason why he could grow very fast is because of the heritage chi. By refining the heritage chi, Angus could increase his mana to nurture his body and mana core. 

Unlike other people who need to let their bodies grow passively, Angus is like a healthy person with unlimited good supplements. The difference between the two becomes more apparent when they start to reach a higher grade.

Seeing that his nephew is also a prodigy in both medical and combatant, Jade couldn’t help but be proud of Angus.

“Umm.. Uncle, this is actually not what we come for,” said Angus.

“Uh yeah, that’s right. I was just a little bit overjoyed about your growth. It is not every day you will see such a great talent like you. Damn, now I really want to rope you into the clan as the Clan Head. Anyway, what do you want to talk about?” said Jade.

“Actually, we want to test out our power and train a little bit. Is there a place we could use?” asked Angus.

“Hahaha.. I thought it was something important. We are living in the desert on top of the sand turtle. You can use any place outside the village. Hmm.. Actually, I also want to see your combat capability. Let’s get going now.” said Jade.

“Err.. okay.” replied Angus.

The news about the newcomer wanting to do some training is spread throughout the Sur village. Soon, everybody followed them to look at their guest combat capability. All of them were curious about the two teenagers that were praised by the clan head yesterday.

After a while, Angus and Jayna arrive outside the village. Both of them decide to have a spar to test their newly gained power.

“Hmm… Why did the weakling like him, sparring the genius and beautiful lady like Jayna? I bet he just wants to flirt with her.” said Neil.

“Shut up, Neil. Or I will smack your head again.” said Jane.

Although the other villagers didn’t protest, they were also confused since they couldn’t perceive Angus’s mana core grade at all. It is like he is an ordinary person that never formed his mana core.

“So, what is the previous record?” asked Jayna.

“It’s 9 minutes 12 seconds.” replied Angus.

“Alright, I will break the record then,” said Jayna.

“Then, like usual. We start the moment the coin touches the ground.” said Angus and suddenly toss the coin into the air.

After a while, the coin touched the sand. Jayna immediately uses her movement skill to approach Angus [Fiery Burst]. Unlike before, her fire manipulation increases by leap bound after merging with Phoenix and increasing her skill proficiency.

In the blink of an eye, Jayna managed to arrive at Angus. At this moment, Angus tapped the sandy ground, and a magic circle appeared in the blink of an eye. Then, the sandy ground below Angus rose [2nd Circle – Earth Wall].

Jayna couldn’t help but use [Fire Punch] and hit the Earth Wall in front of her. *Bam* Despite the strong momentum and force, the Earth Wall only has a big crack.

Suddenly, below Jayna’s ground, a vine comes out and tries to grip her feet [1st Circle – Entangle]. Out of reflex, she retreated by jumping back. 

As Jayna jumps back, Angus already prepares another spell. A bright magic circle comes out in front of him and shoots a big water ball towards her [1st Circle – Aqua Ball].

Noticing the incoming [Aqua Ball] and Angus’s intent, she quickly dodge the water while once again trying to approach Angus using [Fiery Burst]. As Jayna comes to him, Angus suddenly shoots some fireballs towards her [2nd Circle – Fireball]. *BOM* *BOM* *BOM*

Unlike the slow [Aqua Ball], Angus’s [Fireball] could be cast rapidly since it is his own affinity element. Jayna couldn’t help but be pushed back since all the [Fireballs] could create small shockwaves nearby.

As Jayna backs away, Angus creates a water arrow and completely freezes it [1st Circle Water Arrow] [1st Circle – Freeze] [Combined spell – Ice Arrow]. Using the gap Angus preparing the spell, Jayna rushed in once again.

The ice arrows are already ready to be launched above Angus’s head. Controlling the Ice Arrow, Angus launches it at Jayna. Looking at its trajectory, Jayna managed to dodge the Ice arrow at the last moment.

Suddenly, the Ice Arrow that touches the ground turns the sandy ground into the frozen ground. Soon, the nearby Ice Arrow turns the ground nearby Jayna into slippery ice. The difference in the temperature makes the surrounding area near Jayna humid.

Ignoring all of this, Jayna keeps approaching Angus using the [Fiery Burst]. As she arrives in front of the Earth Wall where Angus stand, she unsheathes her sword and slashes at it [Sword Art – Hundred Cut]

Jayna’s sword cut through the Earth Wall like tofu and crumbled it. But, Angus already predicted this and jumped into the air. In the air, he cast another spell [2nd Circle – Binding Chain].

A chain comes out from his hand and binds Jayna. Angus used the delay time between Jayna’s skills and managed to bind her. Binding by the chain, Jayna immediately created [Flame Armor] and melted the binding chain.

Looking at this, Angus cast a spell to himself [1st Circle – Light Body] [1st Circle – Agility] and ran away to create a distance. He managed to arrive at the water puddle where he cast the Aqua Ball before.

Using the surrounding water, Angus cast another spell [2nd Circle – Water Lash]. However, Jayna already arrives in front of Angus using [Fiery Burst]. At the last moment, she got slapped by the Water lash towards the frozen ground.

Because of the heat and Jayna’s Flame Armor, the frozen ground melted into the water on the sandy ground. Looking at this, Jayna feels a bad premonition. But, Angus already cast another spell [2nd Circle – Lightning Bolt].

The lightning immediately travels rapidly towards Jayna. With such speed, Jayna could only brace herself using her flame armor. But, the soaked water into the surroundings made the electrocution last longer and paralyzed her a little bit.

Using this opportunity, Angus uses all his mind power to cast the next spell while whispering the chanting. A few moments later, a bright magic circle appears below Jayna [3rd Circle – Neverwinter]. 

A cold temperature came towards the surrounding Jayna and froze her in the blink of an eye. Jayna is entrapped into frozen stone while Angus has a ragged breath after casting multiple spells in a short time.

“Ha.. Ha.. she is faster than before.” said Angus.

The surrounding villagers couldn’t help but be shocked at Angus’s magic display. That not one of them could comment about Angus’s expertise in magic.

Normally, magicians could be only proficient at one elemental spell, especially in one frontal battle like this. They need to cast spells as fast as possible. 

However, Angus broke this common sense and managed to use various kinds of different elemental spells like he had an affinity with all of them.

They couldn’t comprehend how Angus did it. Little did everyone know, it could only happen because of Angus’s high calculation ability and transmutation magic circle from the Archmage Bern’s legacy.

Using this way, Angus could cast any elemental spell much faster than usual, almost like his fire element spell.

As everyone thought that the battle was finished, the Jayna frozen stone began to crack. *Crack* *Crack* *Pyarr* The frozen sculpture turns into countless ice fragments and a bird cry coming out from Jayna. *PIAAKK*
