Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe chapter-431-cheating

431 Cheating

None of the three kids came forward, trying to utilize their magic combat techniques. They knew that Adam was a rank 2 magus and as such, his body was far stronger than theirs.

They were no match for him in terms of physical strength. Thus, it would be folly to engage with him in close-quarter combat.

Hence, all three of them stood at a distance and weaved a series of hand gestures. Then, brilliant multi-colored magic circles lit up before them.

Rank 1 Spell: Spill Water!

Rank 1 Spell: Shape Earth!

Rank 1 Spell: Tremor!

The ground underneath Adam started to tremble. It was slow at first but gradually grew in intensity. A moment later, it felt as if he was in the middle of an earthquake.

Yet, Adam remained steadfast. His eyes twinkled with expectations as he thought, Show me what you got!

The following moment, from the large cracks and crevices formed from the spell Tremor, water started to gush out in all directions, turning the ground muddy.

And then, countless earthen spikes protruded from the ground. They emerged from the outer perimeter before slowly closing in on Adam from all sides.

Oh? Interesting! Their teamwork is decent. Adam's lips curled up into a smirk. He slightly crouched on the ground, gathering strength in his legs.

Before the spikes could even graze him, he exerted pressure from his feet and jumped!

The ground cracked from underneath him, but a moment later, the cracks were transformed into countless spikes.

Adam was dozens of feet in the air and was slowly descending toward the ground that was now covered in earthen spikes.

The next moment, through his Sphere of Resonance, he sensed a series of magical projectiles homing in on him.

He turned his head and saw about a dozen Magic Missiles zooming toward him with great speed.

"Not bad," he muttered under his breath as he nodded his head in approval. This was a two-pronged attack that the young magi had been able to execute flawlessly.

However, Adam was not worried in the least.

He raised his left hand in front of him and drew a large amount of mana. A circular wall of pure energy oscillated with his left palm at its epicenter.

Hand of Doom: Great Barrier!

As soon as the dozen Magic Missles touched the circular wall of oscillating mana, they were seamlessly deflected to Adam's sides and then went past him.

The actual technique required Adam to use both his hands and gather an even more terrifying amount of mana to create two oscillating walls and merge them.

However, at the moment, he could only use one hand. Moreover, he also didn't need that much energy to deal with a mere rank 1 spell. freēwēbnovel.com

After having effortlessly dealt with the Magic Missiles, Adam continued to fall down toward the sea of earthen spikes.

Despite the danger below, there wasn't even a trace of panic on his face.

When his feet were only a few inches away from the spikes, he coated his lower body with mana, adding a sturdy and protective layer around it, and landed on the ground.

BOOM!

As soon as the spikes came in touch with the mana augmenting Adam's body, they disintegrated into dust.

He then glanced at the dumbfounded expressions of his students and smirked, "Is that all you got?"

Eleiney, Art, and Aiden were flabbergasted by what they had just witnessed. More specifically, it was the magic combat technique that Adam had used to deflect the Magic Missiles.

Despite studying several magic combat techniques, they had never come across such a technique that used the oscillation principles of energy to deflect attacks.

This was certainly an eye-opening experience for them.

Moreover, the ease at which just a simple layer of mana had destroyed the earthen spikes on the ground had caused them to be filled with disbelief.

For a moment, they couldn't help but wonder if Adam wasn't keeping his word about regulating his power level.

Thinking of this, Art screamed in exasperation, "Professor, you're cheating!"

"T-That's right!" Aiden also gained the courage to speak after seeing his friend take the lead.

"Oh?" Adam muttered in amusement. "And how is it that I'm cheating?"

"You said you'll control your power level to that of a Rank 1 magus!" Art began. "But the mana radiating from you is obviously stronger than that. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to so easily destroy the spikes!"

Throughout the entire conversation, Eleniey remained quiet, thinking to herself, No, I doubt Professor would cheat. If that is the case, then it could only mean one thing…

"I can assure you that my mana output is restricted to the power level of a Mana Foundation Magus," said Adam before taking a swig from the gourd.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Adam's lips curled up into a taunting smirk. "I'm crazy strong, while you… you're just weak!"

"What did you just say?!"

"Calling us weak? We're geniuses!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

Art and Aiden were greatly annoyed at their professor calling them weak. It had to be known that even in their families, they were the most talented young magi. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been admitted to Saratoga Castle.

Adam raised his chin and blatantly mocked, "Looks like all those precious resources have been wasted on you weak and pathetic idiots."

"You! How can you say that?!"

"Take back what you just said!"

Art and Aiden had had enough. Overcome by their hotbloodedness, they coated their fists in mana and pounced at Adam.

"No, don't!" Eleniey tried to stop them but couldn't.

Seeing the two boys launch toward him with madness and anger, Adam's lips curled up into a smirk. Heh, so easy!

BAM! BAM!

Art and Aiden were completely clueless as to what had just transpired. One moment they were running toward their professor, ready to brawl it out, but the next moment, they were flying in the air, heading straight toward Marian Lake.

With a loud splash, the two kids plummeted into the lake. Eleiney watched all this happen with a dumbfounded expression. She turned around and saw the place where her friends had landed in sheer bafflement.

What… what just happened?! All I saw was Professor's leg turning into a blur and before I knew it, Art and Aiden were chucked into the lake! She thought to herself in astonishment.

The next moment, she heard a chuckle coming from right beside her. She turned her head and saw Adam standing beside her, glancing at her while leisurely sipping on wine. "Wanna take a dip as well?"

Eleiney hurriedly shook her head.

"No, I yield!"

Hmm, the students must learn the Dao of getting under the opponent's skin. Thanks for reading!
