When the system’s voice rang out, Bai Ze’s heart trembled. Then, he looked at Zhang Xian with a hint of pleasant surprise.

Sparring partners feeding each other moves could rapidly improve their actual combat ability, but such opportunities were rare.

Not to mention that training partners cost hundreds per hour, and finding an opponent with similar strength was even harder.

Bai Ze didn’t expect that he would encounter such a great opportunity.

Shouldn’t he take the opportunity to give Storm Thunder Flash a thorough practice?

After making up his mind, Bai Ze immediately focused on the battlefield.

He carefully observed the trajectory of the magic power’s attack.

As a second ring mage, Zhang Xian’s combat ability was naturally not weak. He had learned two rules, namely the D-class Fireball Technique and the C-class Magic Power Scattering.

During his three years in high school, he had raised his proficiency in both rules to the Fluent level.

In the entire Numero Uno High School, he was considered a member with good abilities.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xian was somewhat embarrassed.

He was surprised to find that Bai Ze’s reaction speed and frequency of Storm Thunder Flash were getting faster and faster, so much so that when his attack had just taken shape, the other party had already escaped out of the attack range.

Even using the magic ring was of no use.

In contrast to Zhang Xian’s inner frustration and surprise, Bai Ze was getting more and more comfortable in combat.

Although he was still unable to retaliate, his Storm Thunder Flash was receiving the requisite training. Its proficiency had increased from Beginner’s level to Familiar level 9.

In just a dozen minutes, he had reached the point where he was just one step away from achieving a breakthrough!

This speed made Bai Ze more and more excited as he fought.

However, after casting magic for such a long time, both of them were physically exhausted.

Zhang Xian was panting, and his face was pale. All the magic power in his body had been exhausted.

Of course, Bai Ze was not much better, but he still had enough energy to cast two spells, so the difference between the two was obvious.

[System prompt: Storm Thunder Flash requires magic crystals to break through.]

[System prompt message: Icicle Technique requires magic crystals to break through.]

Sensing the strange fluctuation of the rules in his body, Bai Ze was slightly surprised. He did not expect a simple battle would bring him so many surprises.

However, the number of magic crystals required for the breakthrough posed some difficulties for him.

Nonetheless, because he was still in battle mode, he decided not to get distracted by this for now.

Instead, he focused all his attention on Zhang Xian, who was right in front of him, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack.

At this moment, he noticed that the magic power in Zhang Xian’s body was empty and that his power was almost exhausted. His defenses were wide open.

Bai Ze’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately converged the last of his magic power to cast the icicle.

The next moment, an icicle more than a meter long floated in the air and shot towards Zhang Xian’s throat.

At this time, Zhang Xian was still immersed in the sense of defeat. He didn’t expect Bai Ze to make the next move first.

Catching Zhang Xian off guard, the icicle instantly pressed against his throat.

He was so scared that he fell to the ground and stared at Bai Ze in shock.

At this point, Bai Ze walked forward slowly, magic power circulating in his hand. With just a thought, he could make the icicle penetrate the other party’s neck.

“Still want to fight?”

Bai Ze looked down at the fallen Zhang Xian and said in an icy cold tone.

The icicle suspended in the air was emitting chilly cold air, almost freezing the air.

Staring at the sharp point of the icicle, Zhang Xian’s expression was full of fear.

His pale face was frozen red and stiff by the icicle hanging in such close proximity.

Looking at the other party’s merciless eyes, Zhang Xian gritted his teeth and growled angrily, “Who are you trying to scare? This is Numero Uno High School. If you have the ability, kill me!”

Looking at the other party trying to act tough, Bai Ze was a little dumbfounded.

He then took out his phone and took a picture of the wretched-looking Zhang Xian.

“I don’t have the ability to kill you, but I can post your photo on the school forum. What do you think the class monitor, Liang Rou, will think at that point?”

Seeing Zhang Xian’s face change, Bai Ze taunted him.

“You can’t even handle such a small matter. I’m afraid Liang Rou will only think that you’re useless. No girl will like trash.”

Bai Ze’s words were very casual, but they directly cut through Zhang Xian’s psychological defense, causing him to panic suddenly.

When he thought of Liang Rou’s attitude toward him at that point, Zhang Xian only felt a chill in his heart.

“Ah… What should I do then? I don’t want Liang Rou to look down on me!”

He panicked and could only turn to Bai Ze for help.

“Don’t worry.” Bai Ze grinned and said, “I have a way.”

Zhang Xian saw Bai Ze’s relaxed look and hurriedly asked, “What is it?”

At this critical moment, Bai Ze kept his mouth shut instead and looked at the other party quietly.

Zhang Xian was stunned for a few seconds, then he immediately reacted and said humbly, “Brother, please help me. I can give you anything you want!”

He had no choice. His feelings for Liang Rou were very deep. He would rather lose money than be looked down upon by Liang Rou. He didn’t want to leave her.

“No problem, but if I keep it a secret for you, you should at least show some appreciation, right?”

Bai Ze rubbed his fingers, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Seeing Bai Ze’s confident look, Zhang Xian could only admit that he was unlucky. Without a word, he took out his mobile phone and transferred 5,000 bucks to Bai Ze.

Seeing that the money had been transferred to his account, Bai Ze nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked up and pointed to a corner of the wall not far away. “Do you see that surveillance camera? That surveillance camera is directly connected to the broadcast room. The class monitor will definitely be able to see it.”

“I can pretend to be defeated by you, and then you just have to show off your power there.”

As soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, Zhang Xian immediately slapped his thigh and said with a happy expression, “That’s good. Brother Bai’s suggestion is very suitable for me. ”

“Since we’re acting, shouldn’t we make it more realistic? All I’ll say is, if you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll beat you up whenever I see you. How about that?”

Zhang Xian’s excited look did not escape Bai Ze’s eyes. He thought of a plan and immediately pretended to be caught in a spot. “Zhang Xian, if you want me to cooperate with you and put on an act, I can. But that’s a different price!”

Bai Ze’s expression was stern, and after a few seconds, he said gravely, “You have to pay more!”

Zhang Xian’s eyes twitched a little. He wanted to curse out loud, but now that he had a favor to ask him, he had no choice but to transfer another 5,000 bucks to Bai Ze.

In just ten minutes, Bai Ze made a net profit of 10,000 bucks. He thought that it was easier to earn money from rich people. He could not even earn this much in three months by working part-time.

After receiving the money, Bai Ze began cooperating with Zhang Xian to play act.

The two of them exchanged a few rounds of blows, and then Bai Ze fell to the ground according to their agreed procedure. After Zhang Xian fired off a string of cruel taunts, the play-acting ended.

In the end, Bai Ze allowed Zhang Xian to go back while he took the money and prepared to go shopping.

After all, the Icicle Technique and Storm Thunder Flash both required magic crystals to break through.

After returning to the earlier potion shop, Bai Ze bought two low-grade magic crystals straightaway.

He still had a few thousand bucks left.

Looking at the two palm-sized magic crystals emitting rainbow light, Bai Ze could not help sighing in his heart. It was good to be rich.
