Ragnar’s gaze sharpened, his fingers slowly steepling together.His expression was icy, his face utterly blank as he stared steadily at the battlefield before him, every movement and exchange reflected within those calm blue eyes.Darlene's spear flashed repeatedly, moving with astonishing speed.Yet, even that wasn't nearly enough to handle two opponents on her own.If not for Ryujin stepping in again and again, intercepting attacks at the most critical moments, she might have already found herself in serious trouble.Further behind the line, Gu Tiance was locked in a brutal confrontation with Ryujin.Again and again, Ryujin’s sword descended with ruthless precision, only to be halted by the countless mantras pouring out from the giant book.Worse still, one of the phantom sword techniques Gu Tiance had been using to counter him was looking more and more like his Waning Moon Sword Art.Was he...was he actually trying to copy his clan's secret technique?For more than a century, no on

Gu Tiance's eyes began to burn with an even brighter golden radiance.Slowly, he turned to face Ragnar.The brilliant gold in his eyes reflected against Ragnar's piercing blue, the two gazes colliding in complete silence.Ragnar immediately erected double mental barriers within his soul sea.If he wanted to protect his teammates and bring this battle to an end, then he first had to ensure that his own mind remained untouchable.Gu Tiance took a slow step forward.His lips moved rapidly, yet not a single word escaped them.It was as though he was silently chanting countless ancient mantras deep within his mind, each syllable resonating only with the Heavenly Codex.The faster his lips moved, the faster the giant book's pages flipped, and the harsher the wind howled behind him.What had begun as ordinary gusts quickly transformed into a towering cyclone, feeding the sea of flames while relentlessly trying to force Ragnar's expanding Ice Domain backward.Nika finally struggled back to he

Noise exploded again from among the spectators, rolling through the arena in wave after wave of shocked cries and frantic discussion.Professor Lan stood up abruptly and adjusted his special lens, angling it carefully to get a clearer look of everything going on on the stage.He wasn't the only one.The other professors were equally removing every possible source of distraction, their eyes fixed firmly on the battlefield as though they were afraid they might miss something if they blinked.Today's battle had simply gone past the realms of things the professors could say: “What have we not seen after decades of handling geniuses? There's nothing new under the sun.”Because every moment of today's battle kept dumbfounding each and every one of them, smashing apart conclusions they had formed after decades.The strange abilities and terrifying control of powers these little brats had been hitting everyone with kept making their brains short circuit.The finale of every battle was often t

The first wave of attack to reach them was a powerful gust of wind. The cyclone was terrifying and consuming, swallowing everything in its path. Soon, those outside the stage couldn't see what was happening inside.Ragnar immediately pushed it back with his ice domain. He pulled Ryujin close and urgently whispered. “If the ice domain scatters, knock Miranda out before she can summon energy.”Ryujin nodded and immediately slashed out multiple sword shadows that cut through the cyclone, forcing openings through the raging wind.However, a dark mist was quickly approaching, adding to the cyclone’s menace. Then there was this mysterious hotness hidden beneath the approaching storm, a suffocating heat that seemed completely out of place within the freezing ice domain.Suddenly, Nika let out an ear-splitting howl.The glass separating the arena from the outside suddenly shattered.Professor Mariette inhaled sharply. Simultaneously, a giant staff appeared in Nika’s hand. At the tip was a ver

Ryujin’s swords suddenly began to retreat. People watching began to move further away. For some reason, the ring was getting more and more dangerous. The funniest part was that it wasn't the people in the ring that were suffering the most. It was those outside it. Just like the grass suffering when two elephants fought. Further behind, Ragnar was using more shackling techniques to hold back the devastating power of the ancient artefact which was doing its best to break out. However, everyone's attention was fixed on the resplendent Nika with a crown of halos . No one noticed Ragnar's silent battles nor the fact he was engaged in the deadliest match of all. Suppressing an ancient artifact with an artefact spirit soul. Even the professors didn't. Ryujin's swords suddenly rearranged themselves into star shapes and struck down with terrifying force, severing even the spatial laws in its pathways. Meanwhile, Nika’s cosmic wheel was feeding him while also trying to crush Gu Tiance.
