“Li Wei, are you a man or not? You don’t even dare to accept such a challenge?” Swire questioned in a clear voice, trying to use a provocation to force Li Wei into submission.

“What does it have to do with you whether I’m a man or not? You’re not my girlfriend.” Having lived two lifetimes, Li Wei, who was over 40 years old, would not be provoked by such a simple provocation.

“You…” Swire was so angry that he could not speak.

As for the people below, they were all laughing at Li Wei’s words. This made Swire feel even more humiliated. No one had ever been able to make him lose face like this since he was young.

“Actually, it’s not impossible for me to fight you.” Li Wei suddenly laughed and changed his tone.

“What conditions do you have? Speak!” When Swire heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He wanted to let these people know who was number one.

“I don’t have any other hobbies, I just like to gamble! Let’s make a bet in this competition.” Li Wei looked at Swire who had fallen into his trap and pretended to be relaxed as he spoke.

“What do you want to bet?” Swire was now determined to prove himself, so he anxiously asked.

Li Wei looked at the anxious Swire, then suddenly shook his head and said, “Forget it. I’m just an apprentice magician. You’re already an intermediate magician. I don’t want to fight with you. I’ll give you the first place.”

“Don’t. You’re also very strong. You also have a chance to win. Just tell me what you want to bet!”

Hearing that Li Wei did not want to accept the challenge, he became even more anxious. The difference between the first place given by others and the first place judged by the teacher was very big. He wanted to trample the annoying Li Wei under his feet in front of everyone.

“Really? Alright then, I’ll compete with you. The bet is very simple. Whoever loses will need to compensate for the puppets!” Li Wei finally revealed his purpose.

“No problem.” Swire readily agreed.

“Teacher, Li Wei has already agreed to my duel request. You won’t stop me now, right?”

“No.”

Although Clayderman did not know what Li Wei was up to, since he had already agreed to the duel, he had no reason to stop him.

Seeing Li Wei’s confident look, he was also curious about what kind of trump card this young man in front of him had to win.

What the two of them did not know was that Li Wei had gone through a lot of trouble for this bet. The puppet that he had broken needed at least tens of thousands of gold coins. This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Li Wei!

He had been afraid that Swire would see through his weakness. That was why he was playing hard to get so that Swire would not notice his abnormality.

The protective shield on the stage slowly rose. The referee and Clayderman gradually retreated, giving the stage to Li Wei and Swire.

“Senior Brother, who do you think will win between the two of them?” the referee moved closer to Clayderman and asked quietly.

“I think it should be Swire who will win. After all, there’s a huge gap between their realms. Even if Li Wei could release a fireball that was comparable to a level-2 spell, it would be difficult for him to take advantage of Swire. But there must be a reason why Li Wei is so confident. I wonder what kind of trump card this kid has.” Clayderman stroked his chin and analyzed.

While the two of them were whispering, the two on the stage were also talking about something.

“Hahaha, I really didn’t expect you to agree to this competition. You’re really an idiot, Li Wei. I hope you’ll be more tactful later and suffer less.” Looking at Li Wei who was holding a magic wand in front of him, Swire laughed loudly.

“Oh? Are you sure that you’ll win?” Li Wei asked with a smile.

“Shouldn’t I win? Do you know who I am? I’m Swire! I’m a rare genius of the Spano Academy in decades. I’m a genius who became an intermediate magician at the age of sixteen!

“You, on the other hand, are just an unknown piece of trash. Now, you want to win against me? I really don’t know if you have lost your mind. No, not only you, even this academy has gone mad! Today, I’ll let those people see how outstanding I, Swire, am!” Swire said a whole bunch of words in one breath as if all of this was caused by Li Wei.

Meanwhile, Li Wei dug his ears and said helplessly, “Are you going to fight or not?”

“Fight? I don’t just want to fight, I want to win!” Swire said fiercely.

Thus, the two began to chant the spell at the same time.

“This kid seems to have a deep grudge against the academy,” Clayderman said softly.

“Who does he think he is? I didn’t expect this kid to have such a bad temperament!”

“I hope he’s just arrogant.”

While the referee and Clayderman were talking, Li Wei and Swire had already finished chanting their spells. Both Li Wei and Swire were using Fireball.

After casting Fireball, Swire released Wind Shield again. During this time, Li Wei summoned two fireballs. The three fireballs were shot toward Swire.

During this time, Swire’s fireballs exploded without any effect. Just as Swire was about to use the combo against the puppet on Li Wei, Li Wei suddenly pulled out a thin sword from his wand and charged at Swire.

Two of the three fireballs smashed open the Wind Shield. When the last one was about to hit Swire, he narrowly dodged the attack.

Before he could take a breath, a voice sounded from the side. “You’ve already lost.”

Then, Swire felt that he was sent flying by someone. Swire was too focused on the Fireball spell and did not notice Li Wei’s movements. So, he did not see Li Wei charging over with his sword.

Li Wei was still rational and he used the back of his sword to send Swire flying. Just as Swire struggled to get up and was about to cast another spell, Clayderman appeared between the two of them.

“Alright, the competition is over. Li Wei wins.”

“What? He cheated! A magician shouldn’t fight like this!” Hearing that he had lost, Swire could not accept it for a moment as he roared at Clayderman.

“That’s because you can’t do it. It’s not because others can’t. Please remember, young magicians. Don’t be too arrogant. There’s no shortage of geniuses in this world,” Clayderman said with a cold face.

Seeing that Clayderman was angry, Swire did not dare to say anything. He could only stagger away.

As Swire was no longer making trouble, Clayderman let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned to look at Li Wei.
