155 Chapter 155

Just as the shadow nail was about to pierce Zero’s shadow, the man suddenly moved quickly and dodged

The [Shadow Nail] spell missed the target and Zero twisted his body in the air to charge at his master

In return, Rezen conjured two more magic circles. One was fiery red and the other was watery blue

“[Raging Fire Dragon!]”

“[Raging Water Dragon!]”

Rezen casts two different spells at the same time and from the two magic circles, two long dragons of different elements came out

This spell was the same as Dominant Sky’s [Raging Wind Dragon] but was definitely weaker

These spells also don’t have an additional ability such as restricting the target’s movement. The dragons were merely an attack made from elemental particles

But with the high mana consumption that these spells have, the dragons could destroy most spells at the same rank

One red and one blue dragon flew in the air, opening their jaws to swallow Zero but the latter suddenly stops in his tracks

In accordance with Zero’s will, light elemental energies were gathered and attracted by his Mystic Tattoos

Overwhelming power spreads on every inch of his body causing him to glow brightly as if he was an angel that descended on earth

“Waahhh!!”

With the power of light coursing through his body, Zero forcefully blocked the elemental dragons using his bare hands

Screech!!!

The air itself screeched loudly from the friction. Ragings winds blew that uprooted more trees in the surrounding

Even the ground itself starts to cave in but Zero managed to hold the dragons and stop them from harming him

This stalemate was maintained for a few moments until Zero was pushed back and the dragons dissipated

This short battle used up most of Zero and Rezen’s energy and since this was merely sparring training, there was no need to fight too intensely

“That’s enough” Rezen said and the two of them decided to head back to the farm

As of right now, Rezen has pushed all of his mystic gems to the 4th fusion rank thanks to the resources supplied to him. His strength was definitely stronger than it was on the day that the Twighlight Beast attacked Greenwood City

The fight between him and Zero might look like a tie but there is one important factor that should be taken in

Rezen is just a 4th fusion rank mage for now and Zero is a 5th rank Tattoo Warrior. Considering the 5th rank Tattoo Warriors are above normal mages in power, Rezen’s performance was definitely shocking

He could defeat most 5th fusion rank mages on his own without using any recovery pills!

If not for the fact that using one combination magic after another is taxing to the soul, Rezen would just spam spells while consuming recovery pills

It’s just that he knew that in the competition, such a thing is not allowed

Back to the farm, Rezen entered his home and he sat on a chair. As soon as he returned, Eleven served him tea

The tea is not for Rezen’s enjoyment but rather for his cultivation. It was the tea created from using the mutated Great Gold Sage Tea Leaves and the Spirit Plant Gold Sage Tea

In the past, Rezen doesn’t use the tea much but after his temperament changed it was as if his talent has undergone a transformation

The tea’s effect was more effective than before and he would regularly drink it

Rezen silently drank the tea but ignored the comfort it brought and directly delved into the mysteries of magic

On his study table was a book about magic that he read and tried his best to comprehend

Rezen’s life these past weeks has always been the same. Farming, sparring, studying, etc.

His life has become monotonous as he wants to reach his goal as soon as possible

While the act of fun has been erased from his schedule, it resulted in his strength rising faster than ever

Vadena City

“Who do you think would win in this year’s tournament?”

“Of course, it’s one of the geniuses that reached the 5th fusion rank! Only they could possibly win!”

“Right, my bet is to Hyrin of Daydream! She’s a sponsored mage of Daydream and is also the first one to reach that rank!”

“No, I don’t think that it would be her. Remember that Daydream is filthy rich! Most of their mages only reach their current rank because of the resources poured into them!”

“If it’s the winner, I think it would be the Grim Reaper of the Terroso Family! With how cruel he was, others would be intimidated to fight him! They might even directly surrender to not suffer injuries and be humiliated!”

“No, the winner would be Captain Soul Crusher of the military! Who doesn’t know that in terms of fighting skills, the military is number one?”

“Hahahaha! If it’s a winner, as long as the Dark Saint of the Claude Preston decided to join, who could defeat him?”

“Him? Didn’t you hear that he might have died already?”

“Where did you hear that?”

“There was a rumor that the Dark Saint killed a 7th rank mage but what kind of people those mages are? Their powers are beyond what mortals have! Instead of killing a 7th rank mage, I think the Dark Saint was killed by one!”

“Don’t jinx him like that! He is my idol! When I was being bullied by a mage from the Green Garden Academy, he was the one that saved me and had that arrogant mage be punished! I would not allow anyone to jinx my idol!”

With the yearly tournament of the Space Monarch happening today, the Eastern Country especially Vadena City was full of discussions

They were looking forward to the tournament considering that it was not every day that they could witness many famous mages that come from different backgrounds fight each other

They are all eager to watch exciting battles and speculate who the winners would be

It was to the point that citizens from various cities place bets on their chosen candidates

——

“Do you really want to join the tournament? If you give me more time, I could get another piece of Gaia’s crystal for you”

Inside a black car, both Rezen and Kacy can be seen sitting on opposite sides

“Who knows how long that would take? Winning the Tournament might be my only choice to get what I need as soon as possible” Rezen replied, his eyes staring outside

At that, Kacy could only sigh regretfully. If he managed to provide another piece of Gaia’s crystal then he might be able to receive another recovery pill from Rezen

One would never have enough of such pills. Rezen himself is aware of the value of his pills and he naturally wouldn’t make it look cheap

He only provided a few pieces of pills to Kacy but what he received was a mountain of resources

This was not to cheat Kacy but to not make the pills something that is so easy to obtain that Kacy would start to harbor evil thoughts against Rezen

“Alright, if you say so. But while there was no rule against Tattoo Warriors, your opponents would be the elites of various strong forces. It’s not easy to win against them” Kacy reminded out of goodwill

While Tattoo Warriors are stronger than mages on average, it’s not like mages are all completely helpless

These geniuses from powerful families and organizations are no pushovers. Even against Tattoo Warriors, they could come out as winners and even make one look as weak as chickens

In every profession, there would be elites!

“I know but no matter what, I would be the one to win” Rezen replied not out of arrogance but of necessity

He doesn’t want to win, he has to win!

His progress would stall if he don’t upgrade his farm!

Gaia’s crystal is not something that could be obtained just because a person has money

It was something that might not appear in ten years and every time that it does appear, many people would fight for it

Even forces as big and mighty as Daydream would need to fight hard to obtain such a treasure

Even Daydream might take a long time to provide Rezen with enough Gaia’s crystal and Rezen doesn’t want to wait that long

He has to win this tournament in hopes to obtain Gaia’s crystal as fast as possible!

At that, Kacy just nodded his head. For the sake of benefits, all he needed is to show people that Rezen is under him and Daydream to deter them

After all, even if Rezen has a low chance of winning even though he is a Tattoo Warrior, the number of mystic gems that he possesses would still attract too much attention

Many would like to know how Rezen managed to do that. They would think that Rezen has some sort of big secret

If Rezen don’t have his own backing, no one would stop others from capturing him
