Chapter 312 – Chea

Was it because he desired her beauty?

Was it because he was jealous of her bloodline?

Or was he simply interested in magic that doesn’t receive a lot attention?

It was of course not the first two reasons, it was a bit of the third… Lin Xiao was someone who stayed home all the time and liked anything to do with magic. Elena knew that from a long time ago, but ever since his magic improved by leaps and bounds, as he learned more powerful magic, his interest waned. There was a sense of loneliness from being too strong, now with Yao Zi, it was like he was a kid that found a new toy. How could he leave it without thoroughly investigating her bloodline’s power?

Not just that, there was another crucial reason he wanted to get on her good side and make friends with those siblings, the chosen one.

He heard Snow mention before that Greenton believed Yao Zi was the one from the prophecy and she had the power to save the world.

At that time, Lin Xiao was puzzled and wanted to ask more, but Snow didn’t want to say any more about it. Since he also found it troublesome, he left it at that. But Lin Xiao has never forgotten, and now that he has a chance to get closer to her, he wouldn’t easily let go of it.

He wanted to help Elena find the traitor so he would make an enemy of the Venus Society, if Yao Zi was the chosen one, there was no disadvantage to getting close to her. When Yao Zi becomes powerful, then he could also benefit from that.

… En, okay, truth be told, the real reason was because he wanted a new scapegoat.

He felt apologetic for always using Caesar, in comparison, Yao Zi seemed more suitable. With Yao Zi stepping up, he naturally had more freedom and could more freely help Elena investigate.

But it was too early to talk about that, now the meteor was already falling.

The same flames, the same rock, the same explosion, it was like time rewound and the film was replayed. The almost identical scene played in front of them as the girl precisely controlled the huge meteor and dropped it into the center of the crater.

Another deafening explosion and tremors as it caused the crater to cave in even further.

“T-that…”

Elena swallowed and blinked as she was shocked by what she saw. She didn’t understand, was one person as perversely strong as Lin Xiao not enough? Now Yao Zi is also that terrifying?

Unlike Lin Xiao, Yao Zi didn’t have a strong magic power reserve inside her, she was only fifth-level so even if she squeezed all of it out, it shouldn’t have been enough to cast seventh-level magic. But she did it, and what was more scary was that she didn’t use her own magic power, but the magic power in the surroundings!

Using Lin Xiao’s comparison, everyone else uses their own blue mana bar to cast magic, while she directly absorbs mana from her surroundings, ignoring her own mana limits, it’s too much of a cheat power!

Not only can she learn magic just by seeing it once, she even has unlimited mp!

As expected of the wizard’s bloodline that’s coveted by all magicians throughout the continent.

“Wizard’s bloodline, how in the world can you get it…” Elena muttered to herself.

There was an ancient and mysterious legend passed down in the human world about someone called Tang SiCang and everyone who ate a piece of his flesh could obtain immortality!

If the legend was true, then did that mean you could obtain the wizard’s bloodline from eating some of her flesh?

“Hm… human meat, does it taste good?”

Elena subconsciously licked her lips as she looked at Yao Zi, like she was thinking about whether it would taste better if she braised or steamed Yao Zi…

No one noticed Elena’s thoughts because Lin Xiao and Yao Zi were in an abnormal state.

Yao Zi’s eyes were still white and she still didn’t feel human.

Even if she had the wizard’s bloodline and could cast magic two levels above her, her frail body still endured a huge burden. She swayed and almost collapsed, but she endured and caught herself with one knee, she placed both hands on the other and used her white eyes to stare at Lin Xiao like she was waiting for his next magic.

“Haha! Hahaha! … Interesting, it’s too interesting!”

Lin Xiao understood her gaze that was full of expectations.

Lin Xiao laughed his head off as he casually tossed his jacket behind him. His entire body trembled, his every cell broke out in ecstatic laughter.

How long has it been since he’s met someone this strong?

How long has it been since he last went to his limits?

He would win easily every time, either because he wasn’t able to bring out all his power yet, or he couldn’t use his full power because of the circumstances. So even if he did win, he couldn’t enjoy it.

Now that he finally met a comparable opponent, how could he not be excited?

“Yao Zi, I get it, you probably also want to know your limits, right?”

Faced with her lifeless expression, it was like she couldn’t understand him, but he still spoke nonstop full of excitement.

He knew that Yao Zi could hear him, because her gaze was filled with fighting spirit!

A blazing fighting spirit!

“Yao Zi, you definitely didn’t think I could cast seventh-level magic, right?”

“Yes, I’m actually also very strong, perhaps even more than you… you probably aren’t satisfied and want to keep imitating me and learn all my magic, until… you surpass me, right?”

“Haha, great! … Let’s see if you can do that!”

“Today, I’ll stay with you until the end!”

He shut his eyes and gathered his magic power along with his breaths, he shut out everything around him and concentrated like never before.

When he opened his eyes once again, his body was already engulfed in flames!

Was this perhaps his limit?

“Eighth-level magic, dragon of extinction!”
