Although flas were the nesis of ice, Fang Jueyu's power clearly surpassed Bruce's by a large margin, and his magic far exceeded his. The rock puppet that he conjured was quickly dismantled by Fang Jueyu's Frost Giant.
Bruce cast several more magic spells, but they only stirred up a few ice chips on the Frost Giant, causing no real damage.
"Sigh, too weak. It seems like you haven't learned much from the magic civilization," Fang Jueyu said, exasperated.
However, Fang Jueyu's words created a stir among the mages. Fang Jueyu actually knew about magic civilization? Was there another magic civilization on this Earth?
Indeed, this third-level magic civilization was severely damaged after the Sage Crystal conflict, leaving its cultural heritage quite incomplete.
Certainly, magic didn't necessarily need a wand or rings to be perford, but without the weapons of those mages, the power of magic spells would greatly diminish, as wands, for example, contained potent magic items to enhance magic power, like parts from powerful creatures.
When magic civilization evolved beyond the third level, a mage's magic energy source was no longer limited to oneself or objects but was drawn from the universe, allowing them to perform strong magic even without such tools.
Of course, wands made from the materials of extrely powerful magical creatures could still significantly boost a mage's strength, like the heart of a Dragon Clan creature or the muscles and bones of a Cosmic Beast.
The wands they used were just so low-grade ones left in the warehouse from those days. Although they discovered the wand production thods through centuries of exploration, the resulting wands were quite crude, at most comparable to low-grade Innate weapons.
Yet, even low-grade wands could still increase the intensity of magic by about twenty percent, while Fang Jueyu, performing terrestrial magic barehanded, was stronger. Did he obtain a more complete magic civilization?
"I'm just here to retrieve sothing, not to kill anyone. I don't want to harm you. You better let in. It won't look good for anyone if we fall out!"
Bruce waved his wand and once again teleported to the top of the city wall. His gaze on Fang Jueyu was filled with anger and envy.
He was once a student at Saint El's Academy of Magic, and even after over 30 years of learning magic, he was still only a Magic Apprentice. Fang Jueyu, being so young, was already a Magister. How could he accept that?
"Bruce, he doesn't look like he's lying," the elder mage advised. "He obviously could've killed you earlier but didn't, which shows he bears no malice. Maybe there really is a misunderstanding between us. Why not let him in?"
"No way!" Bruce's expression twisted. "The school has its rules. How can we let soone with an unknown origin waltz in? Since he knows about the magic civilization, maybe he's here for the magic civilization remains at Saint El's!"
The teachers all knew that many things were still left in this magic civilization's storeroom. If everything were organized, it could recreate a flourishing magic civilization.
But the data from that intelligent system was too severely lost, so they could only unearth part of the wealth. Otherwise, Saint El's might be even more powerful now.
Since Fang Jueyu knew about magic civilization, he likely wanted to sneak into the school under so other guise!
If his power were ordinary, it wouldn't matter, but his magic was so powerful, a Magister-level mage. There weren't many of those in the entire school. Letting him in would be unimaginable.
"Bruce's words make sense. Should we find the principal? Maybe only he can handle this young man."
"It's not that serious," Bruce said. "The principal just returned from recruitnt. He should be resting now. Disturbing him wouldn't be appropriate either. Don't worry, everyone. This door's prohibition was set by the principal himself. The principal is a high-level Magister. Even superpower users from outside couldn't be a match for him. There's no way he could break the principal's prohibition."
"That's true. Let him make a fuss. Without strength, he won't be able to make a move!" another teacher said.
"Seal the entire relic. We absolutely can't let him get out. If word gets out, our Saint El's will be exposed."
"Yes!"
A teacher approached a device on the side. He took out a light blue magic crystal and turned on the device's switch. Instantly, a magic barrier enveloped the entire relic.
"Host, the entire relic has been sealed. This barrier's strength can only be broken by a Divine Ability User," Xiao Yi reminded.
"What? Aren't we trapped inside?"
"Don't worry, host. This barrier can only block electromagnetic signals but can't stop spiritual power. If worse cos to worst, you can call for help."
"Hahaha, that puts my mind at ease!"
Fang Jueyu glanced at the city wall. The guy called Bruce was looking at him with a disdainful gaze.
"Young man, were you not bragging?" Bruce taunted, holding a false sense of security. "Aren't you so capable? Why can't you do anything? I'm standing right here, co on!"
"Damn, it's the first ti in my life I've heard such a request!" Fang Jueyu recalled the last ti he was trapped in the pirates' den; they were flaunting their electric shields in front of the pirates.
But Fang Jueyu wasn't a pirate, and this mage wasn't Fang Jueyu. Anyone who underestimated him would always pay the price.
"Looks like it's ti to show you my Italian Cannon!" Fang Jueyu stepped back a few steps, moving to the widest spot in front of Saint El's main gate, and then pulled out a giant silver cannon.
"A space storage device, he indeed obtained sothing from an advanced civilization!" Several mages imdiately recognized Fang Jueyu's thod because the principal and so high-ranking teachers at Saint El's also had such things!
"No wonder, he probably filled in that lake with it." They had roughly guessed how Fang Jueyu got there. A civilization with such large-capacity space storage wouldn't be below the third level.
But according to what they knew, the existing civilization ruins on Earth were almost empty. How could anyone get such things?
"What is that?" The mages' eyes fell on that giant silver cannon. "Is it a mortar?"
"No, it doesn't seem like it. Could it be a weapon from a chanical civilization?"
"No, look, there seems to be sothing engraved on the barrel."
"A magic array! That's a magic array. This thing is a Magic Cannon!"
"What? How could that be? How could he have sothing from a third-level magic civilization?"
"Heh heh, showing so recognition!" Fang Jueyu softly blew on the cannon's muzzle. "Weren't you bragging just now? Didn't you think I couldn't break down this door? Didn't you provoke ?"
"I've never heard such a cheap request in my life. Today, I'll let you see the power of my Italian Cannon!"
