There’s an additional Laws of Nature comprehension field now?
What does the 0.1% at the back an? Is it a comprehension ter?
A shrewd glint flashed across the depths of ng Lei’s eyes as he gazed at the additional field in the stats interface.
It’s probably related to the Laws of Nature fragnt that I picked up just now. I wonder if I can use my Wealth to redeem points for it?
It would be aweso if I can!
Alright, I’ll give it a go?
ng Lei silently ordered, “System! Redeem one billion gold coins and add them to my Laws of Nature attribute!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth value instantly decreased by one billion gold coins. True enough, the Laws of Nature field also underwent a change, going from 0.1% to 0.2%!
It went up by only 0.1% with one billion gold coins!?
ng Lei couldn’t help but suck in a breath of chilly air. One must know that that was one billion gold coins! Yet it had only raised his comprehension of Laws of Nature by 0.1%?
This redemption rate was simply too low. At this rate, wouldn’t he need one trillion gold coins to reach a 100% comprehension rate for the fire-elental Laws of Nature, then?
One trillion...
ng Lei fell silent. By right, the ability to buy credits for his comprehension of the laws of nature was sothing positive. However, the price was simply too great!
Raising it by 1% required 10 billion gold coins. In other words, raising it to 100% would require one trillion gold coins!
I have such a hard life!
Where am I going to get that kind of money?
Imrsed in his thoughts, ng Lei secretly gave himself a wry smile of resignation. However, he didn’t notice that there was a group of people in the private room where the King was currently looking at him.
The red-haired Flit the 66th asked with a smile, “So that’s the little fellow nad ng Lei, Fred?”
President Fred nodded lightly and replied with a smile, “Yes, Your Majesty. That’s indeed ng Lei.”
“He’s so young!”
As Flit the 66th gazed upon ng Lei, he remarked, “Who would have thought that a young boy like him would actually be a Ninth-Grade Great Magician?”
“Indeed! A 16-year-old Ninth-Grade Great Magician is certainly an unprecedented occurrence in the history of our Fire Dragon Kingdom!”
The graceful and regal Queen Diana, who was also sizing up ng Lei, remarked, “President Fred, the academy has certainly produced an impressive genius!”
“Thank you for the complints, Your Majesties. The only reason why ng Lei possesses such a level of cultivation now is that he had incidentally co across a few chance encounters. It’s all just luck! Luck!”
Even though President Fred felt triumphant inwardly, he kept his words very humble. At the sa ti, however, he didn’t forget to glance at the other old n in the private room, smugness showing obviously in his eyes.
“He’s certainly quite talented, but he’s ultimately still too young.”
A big, muscular black-haired elderly man said sourly, “Whether or not he can achieve great things in the future will still depend on his future diligence and developnt. His performance at this current point in ti cannot determine his future.”
“Exactly! There is no shortage of geniuses that make a showy display of their abilities the mont they debut. People like that erge in great numbers. However, ultimately, only a handful of them can attain the Saint Domain realm. That little fellow is still too young. You can’t tell much about him just yet.”
“He’s certainly rather talented, but if he’s hoping to achieve great things in the exchange competition, then his current level of strength ultimately still falls a little short...”
All the other old n in the private room spoke up one after another, trivializing the subject and showing disdain on their countenances. In spite of that, they couldn’t hide the sour grapes in their speech, nevertheless.
As a Ninth-Grade Great Magician at 16 years of age, ng Lei well-deserved the title of being the first in history!
This was sothing that no one could deny. Thus, the only thing they could slam was ng Lei’s age.
At such a young age, the future was full of countless uncertainties. Who could really predict that accurately just how far he could go?
“Sour grapes much?”
President Fred shook his head and laughed lightly. Then, he replied, “No matter what, the current ng Lei has undeniably reached a point ahead of others. He has abundant ti to break through to Saint Domain!”
All the other academy presidents snorted in response, though they didn’t rebut him anymore.
“I heard that Fighting Dragon Academy has also produced an impressive genius. I wonder who it is?”
Flit the 66th knew full well about the ongoings among the academy presidents. However, he didn’t lay them bare. Instead, with a smile on his visage, his gaze flicked over to the big, muscular black-haired elderly man, and he chose to change the subject.
At once, a smile appeared on the muscular elderly man’s countenance, and he replied, “Your Majesty, that young fellow’s na is Francis Matthew, and he’s a sixth-year student in my academy. He’s 28 years old this year and possesses ninth-grade pinnacle-level combat strength!”
Upon saying that, the muscular elderly man then looked at the contestants’ seating area. The smile on his face widened, and he said, “Your Majesty, do take a look. It just so happens to be Francis’ turn to go into the ring now. He’s that silver-haired young man over there.”
Flit the 66th raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked through the transparent glass in the private room at the fighting ring below to see a silver-haired young man wearing a suit of silver armor and holding a huge sword going up into the ring.
The young man’s eyes were sharp, and his expression cold and distant. As though he was an ice sculpture, he gave off an unapproachable feeling that rejected others from coming close to him.
“He has fairly rich Frost Colossal Dragon blood in him, yet he doesn’t possess even a hint of the Dragon race’s characteristics!”
Queen Diana’s rosy lips parted, and she asked, “That little fellow nad Francis must have awakened his Frost Colossal Dragon bloodline at a later stage?”
“How astute of Her Majesty!”
The muscular elderly man nodded lightly and replied, “Francis awakened his Frost Colossal Dragon bloodline when he was 18 years old. He typically keeps his human appearance and only transforms into his Dragon Person form upon encountering a strong enemy.”
“Just as I’ve expected!”
Queen Diana said with a light laugh, “To possess such strength at such a young age, he has already surpassed many pure-blooded Colossal Dragons!”
“Indeed!” All the academy presidents and senates nodded in agreent.
Pure-blooded Colossal Dragons were certainly very powerful. They were comparable to Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts the mont they ca of age, so they were much stronger than typical mixed-blood Dragon People.
However, this wasn’t absolute.
So highly talented mixed-blood Dragon People boasted a cultivation speed that was faster than pure-blooded Colossal Dragons’, and this was sothing many pure-blooded Colossal Dragons couldn’t compare to—Francis was evidently one of those Dragon People.
“The battle has started!”
Francis’ opponent was a bald, uni-horned, muscular man holding a giant axe. His body was as strongly-built as an ox, and it brimd with explosive strength.
Then, with just a single move of his sword, Francis slashed open the man’s throat and ended the battle.
“That ended so quickly!”
“How impressive!”
“What great icy and sharp montum!”
“There’s hardly anyone that can match him among the ninth-grade experts!”
“The Saint Domain is within sight for him!”
Everyone in the private room couldn’t help but rub their palms and sigh in admiration.
The layn watched the show, but what specialists focused on was the skill.
With their experience, they were naturally able to tell that Francis’ move hadn’t just been an overlay of his physique, physical strength, and Battle Aura. It had also... carried montum!
Montum—moving along with the flow, as well as the accumulation of montum!
The montum here referred to the universe’s montum!
When one carried the universe’s montum and released it along with the flow, their combat power would go through an explosive increase.
The bald, uni-horned, muscular man was also a ninth-grade expert. In terms of pure physical strength and agility, he wasn’t that far off from Francis in his human form, yet his throat had been slashed by Francis, nevertheless.
The difference laid exactly in their comprehension of the universe’s montum. Francis’ comprehension of the Ice montum had already reached a fairly astounding degree. By carrying the universe’s montum and releasing it along with the flow, he had slain the bald, uni-horned man with just a slash of his sword.
“The young fellows nowadays are truly becoming more and more impressive!” One of the academy presidents sighed emotionally.
“Indeed!” Everyone else nodded in agreent.
“Eh? Isn’t that the little fellow nad ng Lei? Why has he gone into the ring, too?”
The muscular elderly man suddenly let out a soft exclamation and remarked in a slightly surprised tone of voice. Everyone looked over one by one—true enough, they noticed ng Lei going up into the fighting ring.
“Is it already that little fellow’s turn?”
Flit the 66th remarked with great interest, “Everyone has been singing high praises of that little fellow during this recent period of ti. I sure would like to take a good look at what he has to offer today.”
“His talent might take the top spot in history, but it’s a sha that he’s still too young.” The muscular elderly man shook his head and went on. “He’s stunning enough when compared to peers of his age, but it’s going to be really tough if he wants to achieve much in the exchange competition.”
“That makes sense. That little fellow’s biggest flaw is that he’s too young and too inexperienced. The amount of ti he has spent on cultivation is too short!”
“Fred, if I were you, I’d have let him participate in the next exchange competition instead of putting him out there this year...”
All the other academy presidents spoke up one by one, their words causing President Fred’s expression to turn rather awful—yet he couldn’t rebut them at all.
ng Lei was certainly very stunning, while his cultivation speed took the top spot in history. However, he was ultimately too young, the amount of ti he had spent in cultivation was too short, and his experience when confronting enemies too little.
Disregarding the exchange competition where experts were abound and solely focusing on the contestants today, even the weakest one was soone at eighth-grade pinnacle-level. Could the young ng Lei really stand on the sa stage as them and compete with them?
“He’s rather good-looking, though, and he’s about the sa age as our Little Ninth!” remarked Queen Diana as she watched ng Lei with her beautiful eyes, before subsequently looking at a delicate young teenage girl behind her with allusion in her actions.
Flit the 66th burst into laughter. He couldn’t resist glancing at the delicate teenage girl, and he said teasingly, “Little Ninth has to inherit the throne in the future. If she really does take a fancy to that little fellow, there’s no harm in marrying him and taking him as a royal consort.”
“Father!”
The delicate teenage girl blushed furiously at once. A crimson hue also ca over her pair of delicate, exquisite dragon horns as her cheeks turned rosy red.
“Hahaha!” Everyone burst into uproarious laughter.
ng Lei’s opponent had also shown up in the ring. He had green dragon scales all over his body, a pair of green horns at the top of his head, a pair of green wings on his back, and a long, green tail at his bottom...
“Haha! To think it’s actually Chester!”
At the sight of the green Dragon Person in the ring, a blond elderly man wearing a magic robe rubbed his palms in glee right away. “Fred, the top genius of your Fire Dragon Magic Academy is going to embarrass himself soon!”
“Oh?”
Everyone looked at the blond elderly man, puzzlent in their eyes.
“Chester was the top genius of our Dragon People Magic Academy in the past. 29 years old this year and a dual cultivator of both magic and martial arts, his Warrior combat abilities are at ninth-grade elentary-level while his magic abilities are at eighth-grade mid-level!”
The blond elderly man side-eyed President Fred and went on smugly. “Because he has Green Dragon blood in him, not only is Chester familiar with wood-elental Dragon-Language Magic, but he also knows poison magic.
“That’s poison magic, you know! Sothing that specializes in restraining Magicians that have weak, frail bodies! Now that he has encountered him, that little fellow nad ng Lei is going to be out of luck!”
Everyone nodded in agreent as poison magic was terrifying.
This type of rare, special magic that only Green Dragons could master was totally different from ordinary magic and could kill without warning.
One would easily fall victim to it the mont they were careless, and once they did, they would be down with highly toxic poison. In lesser cases, they would suffer a great loss in combat strength, while in serious cases, they would lose their lives.
Perhaps Warriors could resist it slightly, but Magicians, whose bodies were weak and frail, wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long at all. Out of everyone, poison magic restrained Magicians the most.
“That little fellow nad ng Lei is so young. He probably doesn’t have any experience dealing with poison magic. He’s in for it this ti!”
One of the academy presidents sighed softly with a shake of his head.
President Fred had an awful look on his face, and he began to grow uneasy and nervous.
In the ring, the battle started!
In a bid to forestall his opponent, Chester put on a show of strength right away and began to loudly chant profound and hard-to-understand Dragon-Language Magic spells. Several thorny vines appeared out of nowhere and transford into dozens of poisonous snakes that rushed toward ng Lei.
At the sa ti, nurous pink flowers started to grow around the ring, giving off a toxic pink mist that shrouded the entire ring.
“Eighth-Grade Wood-Elental Dragon-Language Magic, Toxic Magic Vines!
“Eighth-Grade Poison Spell, Bone-Softening Toxic Mist!
“The outco is clear!”
The blond old man chortled and said, “Fred, you’d better hurry and stop the two of them. Otherwise, your top genius in history is gonna croak!”
“Hmph!” Fred let out a cold snort in response. However, his heart had already gone all the way into his mouth, and he got ready to step in and stop the battle at any mont and save ng Lei.
At that mont, up against the thorny vines shooting toward him and the pervasive toxic mist, ng Lei instead flicked his fingers and launched a basketball-sized fireball that shot slowly and leisurely toward Chester.
“The First-Grade Fireball Technique isn’t even enough to tickle !” sneered Chester, who couldn’t even be bothered to dodge the fireball.
However, in the instant it ca within range of him, the human head-sized fireball expanded wildly without warning, swelling into a fire lotus, whose diater reached as wide as 1,000 feet!
Boom!
The 1,000-feet-wide fire lotus engulfed Chester in a split second. It engulfed all the vines, as well as a large half of the fighting ring!
“What!?”
“Fireball Technique morphing into Fire Lotus Judgnt in a second?”
“A first-grade spell turning into a ninth-grade spell?”
“How can this be?”
All the academy presidents in the private room got to their feet all of a sudden, astonishnt written all over their faces!
