Chapter 106: Beaten by a Big Shot Before Leaving the Newbie Village

Chapter 106: Beaten by a Big Shot Before Leaving the Newbie Village

Viktor, floating in mid-air, fully mobilized his natural energy, causing the red patterns behind him to suddenly light up.

Countless plants seemed to transform into lifeless, charred twigs, while the towering trees now appeared to have burning red treetops.

White ashes swirled in the air, carried by the howling cold wind.

The green leaves turned scorched and red, emitting tiny sparks.

The sky was completely obscured by the black smoke rising from the burning trees, with only a few streaks of yellow sunlight barely piercing through the thick darkness.

Erica, watching Viktor who resembled a demon god, felt the powerful natural energy rushing towards her like a raging flood.

She clearly sensed that her own insignificant magic power, compared to Professor Viktor's boundless natural energy, was like a gently flowing stream facing a bottomless ocean.

Her mind suddenly went blank, with only one remaining thought echoing in her brain—

This is a deity.

Viktor's hands, entwined with two types of natural energy, seemed to be both praying and summoning as he began to chant obscure incantations.

The lush green earth started to crack, with flames rising from the fissures between rocks, and vegetation being scorched by lava.

A gigantic flower suddenly burst through the lava, twisting as it reached towards the sky. After several dozen meters, the tattered petals peeled off, revealing flowing patterns of flame.

The enormous flower instantly bloomed towards the sky. Instead of any fragrant pollen, terrifying flames mixed with ashes erupted from between its pistils.

A pillar of fire, with the momentum of devouring the heavens, shot straight up, piercing through the world.

At this moment, the illusory sky shattered under the impact of the powerful natural energy, like an irreparable mirror gradually breaking apart.

The powerful fire pillar instantly engulfed the flower, and the green and red energies intertwined, transforming into an enormous white light that spread in all directions, consuming everything and extending for thousands of miles.

The world suddenly fell silent.

Erica quietly watched as the white light gradually engulfed her completely, yet she was powerless to resist.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't even hear her own voice.

It was then that Erica understood,

In the face of Viktor's overwhelming power,

There wasn't even time to feel fear for a moment.

Boom—

As the white light gradually dissipated, sound returned to this shattered world.

Everything around had fallen into boundless silence, even the crackling sound of burning had ceased to exist.

Only the lonely smoke dispersed, with ashes slowly falling into the bottomless cracks in the earth.

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the gloomy sky.

It pattered on Erica's stunned body.

The cold sensation made Erica regain her senses. She blinked, seemingly unable to believe that she was still alive.

As the sweet rain fell, Erica felt as if she had returned to that fierce volcano.

However, this time, she could quietly feel the incredibly comforting rain awakening her.

After this battle,

No, perhaps it's better to say, after this one-sided crushing,

She had personally experienced Viktor's shocking power.

She also clearly recognized the gap between herself and Viktor.

It was like the distance between heaven and earth.

Viktor's figure had long since disappeared, leaving only the remnants of this dreamlike illusion continuing to deteriorate.

But the shock left in Erica's heart

Could not dissipate for a long time.

......

Inside Viktor's wizard tower.

The scoreboard on the edge of the scroll finally began to ripple, seemingly about to reveal the name of the first student to pass with a perfect score.

The students crowded around, bewildered as they looked at the name that appeared.

"Erica du Cloye."

While they couldn't even pass, Erica had already managed to achieve a perfect score!?

But Erica's name appearing there seemed somewhat reasonable.

If even the top student couldn't get a perfect score, who else could ace Professor Viktor's test?

Soon, Erica's form appeared from the teleportation array.

Her body was somewhat unsteady, and she looked dazed.

Many students rushed forward, asking:

They really liked it.

Henie nodded at them with an extremely friendly smile.

Having received a satisfactory answer, many candidates felt happy.

"Yay!"

"I really want to attend Professor Viktor's classes."

"Oh no, I've graduated!"

"I heard Professor Viktor's lecture will be held in a few days, I'm already looking forward to it."

The students left the wizard tower with a mix of excitement, regret, and various other emotions.

After they had all left in an orderly manner, Henie remained standing in place.

Feeling the vast magic power within her, like an ocean.

No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

Henie experimentally raised her arm, and in an instant, a second-tier magic formation appeared in the air.

The process of constructing the magic was very smooth and effortless.

Henie froze in place.

A gentle breeze brushed across her face, and a hand that made her feel at ease was placed on her shoulder.

The familiar scent behind her made Henie turn her head in delight.

"Professor!"

"Not a bad improvement."

Viktor responded calmly.

In his eyes, Henie's level had changed dramatically.

Level 21—

How long did it take Henie to become a mage?

It seemed it hadn't even been half a month.

If this were to be made public, it would appear too shocking to the world.

During the three-day final exam period, almost all students in the academy participated in this assessment.

This unreasonably difficult assessment, coupled with the constant anger generated by the examinees,

Had allowed the Wrath Demon on Henie to eat its fill.

And all the emotions consumed by the demon were transformed into a source of magic power for Henie.

This caused her level to grow as rapidly as a rocket, allowing her to become a second-tier mage in one go.

"Keep up the good work, Henie."

"I'll be waiting for you ahead."

As the words fell, Viktor took two steps towards the exit of the wizard tower.

In the next second, a fierce wind suddenly blew up in the space, Henie's robes were caught by this gust, and she couldn't help but lower her head and shield herself with both hands.

When the gale dissipated, Henie finally raised her head.

But at this moment, Viktor's figure had already disappeared.

"Professor..."

Looking ahead, Henie gradually became somewhat dazed.

She understood where all this magic power came from.

She had received too much help from the professor.

It had always been the professor helping her, yet she couldn't give anything in return.

Soon, Henie regained her composure and looked determinedly in the direction Viktor had left.

"It's not enough, still not enough."

Just as the professor had said.

She was still too weak.

"At least, I need to reach the third tier."

When a certain desire rises in one's heart, this desire can transform into endless motivation.

For Henie, from beginning to end, she had been working hard for that goal.

A red glow gradually appeared on Henie's body, and a small crocodile lay on top of her head, yawning.

What a rich desire.

'Pity, this desire isn't the kind I like to eat.'
