“Begin!” The referee’s voice resounded, officially commencing the match, Omar, towering over Alec, summoned an iron dagger from his space ring and swiftly charged towards Alec, as his braided hair swayed with the wind.Clang!Alec tightly gripped the stone dagger he had created, holding it in reverse with his left hand, as he skilfully defended against Omar’s first strike. Alec glanced up, locking eyes with Omar and noticed a clear expression of surprise etched upon his opponent’s face.During Omar’s observation of Alec’s easy defeat of Steele, he had primarily focused on Alec’s incredible speed in evading Steele’s attacks. Omar believed that Alec’s victory was primarily a result of his exceptional swiftness, which surpassed Steele’s reactionary abilities.Upon stepping onto the stage, Omar was well aware that he couldn’t match Alec’s speed normally, however, he possessed confidence in his ability to track Alec’s movements with his eyes, even if it meant reacting slightly slower.

#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

“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

[> 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

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
