Yellow River Academy,
All wizard Halls are very seriously discussing tomorrow's duel. On the surface, it's just a small matchup between the two inner-house wizards.
But only higher-level wizards were aware that things were not that simple. The Bloodline Hall made up a challenge against the Sub-Taboo Hall. This shows involuntarily poking the interest of the Sub-Taboo.
If the Sub-Taboo Hall failed to win the challenge then the Bloodline Hall would reap the benefits.
So people with knowledge silently look forward to tomorrow's duel.
Meanwhile,
Carolina, who is spending time in the Sub-Taboo Hall, suddenly receives a call from the True House Wizard.
Seeing that she immediately attended the call.
"Senior Gilbert, are you back?"Carolina asked.
On top of her communication watch, the holographic projection of a middle-aged person appeared.
He is none other than Wizard Gilbert Reese.
Facing Carolina, he slightly nodded his head before asking about Vincent Carey.
Gilbert asked, "Does he have the confidence to defeat the bloodline wizard?" Gilbert furrowed his eyebrows. He only recently heard about the challenge post.
He does not doubt that this was one of the calculations of the bloodline maniacs. They can't afford to touch the higher-ups of the Sub-Taboo wizard.
So they can only come up with such a low-level method.
Carolina saw through Gilbert's mood. She couldn't help but start panicking in her heart. She knows tomorrow's duel involves the face of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
"Ahem, Senior. Vincent is strong. He is a level-3 wizard right now. And his strength seems to have improved since breakthrough," After saying that she spoke about the special trial.
There was a small silence for a moment.
Gilbert seems to be in some kind of dilemma. He knows about Vincent's gravity magic. But he is more concerned with the variables of bloodline magic.
Bloodline wizards can boost their strength in the middle of the battlefield. So their overall attributes would be much higher. And Vincent is just a level-3 wizard. His attributes can't be compared to the bloodline wizard.
But seeing the confidence in Carolina's eyes sighed inwardly. He knows this match-up has nothing to do with Carolina or Vincent. But they were dragged into the Bloodline Hall schemes.
He hopes that Vincent can turn around the situation tomorrow. Thinking about some true wizard pests in the bloodline hall. His eyes burst out with a cold glint.
Gilbert made up his mind to deal with them privately. "Alright, see you tomorrow," After saying that he ended the call.
Only after seeing a blank projection, she reached relief. "I was right. Tomorrow's duel involves many things," She muttered to herself.
And she felt glad she reminded Vincent about this in the morning. After seeing Vincent's various performances, including the Battle Tower and the Special Class Trial.
Carolina has immense confidence in Vincent.
...
On the other hand,
"Teacher, whom do you think will win tomorrow?" Lara White asked, looking at her teacher, Kate Cohens.
Right now, Lara is in Kate Cohen's place. So she felt she could talk freely.
Kate furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. She remembers Vincent's background. Back in that small town, Vincent even had attracted the attention of the dark league.
So knowingly or unknowingly Vincent was always in the center of the storm. She thought after joining the Academy the situation would change.
But still, Vincent was in the limelight. First, there is an identity as a seed candidate. Then there are battle tower rankings. Now he leads the no.1 ranking in both the outer house and inner house.
After recalling the events, she sighed inwardly. Looking at her student, she replied, "I don't know clearly. But after recalling some past incidents. I think that kid can fight across ranks. So he has no trouble facing a level-4 wizard."
"But?" A hint of complicated emotions flashes in her eyes.
Lara bit her lips. She said, "Teacher, what are you saying? It's difficult against a bloodline wizard."
Kate Cohens nodded her head. Seeing that Lara fell silent. Even she has this doubt in her heart. How come Vincent is going to overcome the bloodline boost?
Kate saw through her thoughts. "Don't worry, the small setbacks won't affect the kid," Kate Cohens said with a sigh.
Lara White became flustered all of a sudden. "Teacher, I'm not worried about him. I just don't like bloodline Hall's methods," She refuted immediately.
A strange glint flashes in Kate's eyes. She uttered, "Alright, I know." But nobody can tell what she is thinking in her mind.
....
Bloodline Hall,
Clifton Cox standing in front of two giant existences. Facing them he couldn't help but sweat profusely. "Damn it, the bloodline suppression is killing me," Clifton Cox cursed in his heart.
Two of them were True House Wizards of the Bloodline Hall. Right now, they summoned Clifton to see whether he is ready for tomorrow's duel or not.
"What's your bloodline?" One of the true house wizards with green hair asked in a stern tone.
Clifton Cox feels a wave of humiliation in his heart. He knew people with pure bloodlines were more valuable than others.
And what about pure bloodline wizards? Only noble or ancient monsters got pure bloodline.
His ancient golden lizard bloodline is not inferior in any way.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said, "Ancient Golden Lizard."
"What ancient?"
"Your bloodline deserves that name?" the green-haired wizard sneered.
At this time, the true house wizard beside him opened his eyes. Two vertical slits can be seen in his pupils.
Clifton's heart boiled in anger. He can't even voice out his dissatisfaction. Because these two were level-6 bloodline wizards. Among the True House Wizards. These two are said to be elites.
The wizard with snake pupils hissed and said, "Your bloodline purity is not enough. But I think it's enough to handle a single level-3 wizard."
The green-haired wizard remained silent hearing that. Since his friends want to speak. He decided not to interfere.
Seeing the calm face of Clifton, the wizard with snake pupil said in a cold tone, "You know, you proposed this official duel. If you fail to win tomorrow, then the consequences will be severe."
"Even the True House wizard from your clan won't be able to support you."
Clifton's pupils shrank. A cold shiver went down his spine. He initially wanted to beat down arrogant Vincent.
But unknowingly his duel was used as some kind of game plan by his higher-ups. He couldn't help but regret his decision at the moment.
He doesn't want to be used as a pawn by anyone. Especially other bloodline wizards.
But now it's too late he can only go with the flow.
"I will win, "Clifton Cox answered in a calm tone.
Hearing that, the wizard with snake pupil hissed again. "I know you can win with your current ability. But for some insurance, you have to take this potion when you hit the dead end in the duel tomorrow," After saying that he handed over a pitch-black potion.
Seeing the pure black liquid squirming inside the bottle. A bad premonition appeared in Clifton's heart.
"What is this?" He asked out in confusion while accepting the black potion bottle.
The wizard with a snake pupil hissed. He didn't plan on revealing the potion. Instead, he said, "This is something that can guarantee your victory tomorrow."
Clifton stood in a daze. He knows it's impossible to get the truth from these people. After assuring them, he left the place.
Seeing his disappearing back, the green-haired wizard asked, "Are you sure Gilbert will come tomorrow to watch the duel?"
The wizard with snake pupils hissed and said, "Of course, he will come. He is the senior of the Sub-Taboo Hall. He won't let anything bad happen to his juniors."
Thinking about tomorrow's fun. Two of them laughed out loud.
