What Jason said was an explanation of a magical proverb—magical notes could only be used as a reference for learning.
Mages would all write down their cultivation experiences, especially the ones that were important. However, only the things that were confirmed would be written into books. Notes were the accumulation of scattered pieces of knowledge. Some might not necessarily be accurate or suitable for every mage.
The master and disciple pair began to study the blueprints on an even deeper level. Saleen was unable to think of ways to modify the blueprints, so he focused on learning from his teacher’s design experience.
The higher Saleen’s level became, the more he felt that Jason was inconceivable. Many predecessors had mentioned theories that had never been practiced, yet Jason was able to realize the theories and even draw them out on blueprints .
The magic blueprints were not a regular design draft, but had a fixed experimental function. In other words, when the blueprints were flawed, the blueprints would break into pieces.


The elemental envoy designed by Jason was perfect. Its energy obtained the balance that Saleen had long hoped for.
One day and one night passed like that. Saleen felt like a dry sponge who had been submerged in the sea of Jason’s knowledge. One day of learning felt more effective than fumbling about by himself for one year.

Alright Saleen, you can meditate for a moment. Kang Bai will be arriving soon.
Jason looked at his student with satisfaction. He had already forgotten that he had to start refining the elemental envoy.
Saleen immediately went to meditate. No matter what his current position was, Jason would always be his teacher. Jason had never been a talkative person, so Saleen greatly valued any pointers from him. It didn’t matter if he had to immediately meditate on such things. Saleen calculated for a moment and discovered that it was the best opportunity for him to meditate at this time.
Kang Bai had arrived early outside the Magical Element Tower. He stood on the edge of the large pit in front of the magical tower. It was originally Pompeii City’s monument. Standing on the other side of the large pit was Daniel.
Daniel smiled slightly.
Master, my master is still meditating. Please wait for a moment. Why don’t you take this time to analyze this pit. It was after all formed by the attack of thousands of high level magic spells.

Daniel’s demeanor was dignified as he stood on one of the heads of Pikoosi, one of the Spirits of the Dead. The level 8 Spirit of the Dead was no longer suitable for them, but its was still considered quite fast amongst the Spirits of the Dead level 10 and below. With Pikoosi’s help, Daniel was guaranteed to be able to escape back to the magical tower.
Kang Bai would not dare to attack Daniel. On the Magical Element Tower, there were thousands of demonic spirits. If Daniel were attacked, Kang Bai would be unable to escape.
Kang Bai heard Daniel’s words, but he did not lose his temper. What Daniel said was reasonable. The pit had many traces of spells left behind on its surface. Saleen had not removed them. By observing it, Kang Bai could gain a lot of useful information.
Saleen had that kind of attitude, allowing Kang Bai to feel a little more relaxed, since Saleen was not be thinking of killing him.



Alright, I will wait.
Kang Bai stepped towards the pit and began to analyze it. The bottom of the pit was made of crystallized soil. Kang Bai lifted his hand and released a wind blade to cut out a part of the soil. He kept it in his space equipment. He would bring it back to Alchemy City to let the mages decipher the might of Saleen’s magic tower and the number of attack modes it possessed.
From the portions of crystallized soil, perhaps they could decipher the magic pattern’s frequency of movement.read comics on our webnovel.live
Daliang City had magic patterns, but they were all operated by demonic spirits. Alchemy City’s mages could not come into contact with them. The demonic spirits’ attack did not follow any laws and required few movements. Alchemy City had always hoped to gain data on magic patterns, but Daliang City could not have any losses, so none of them had seen what a magic pattern running at full power was like.
If he could bring back data left behind by Saleen’s attack, he would not be punished by the Elemental Hand.
Daniel was calm and collected. He turned and returned to the outsides of the magical tower. He did not enter, but he merely watched Kang Bai’s movements. Kang Bai specialized in research and did not understand Saleen’s methods. On the other hand, it was Jason who let Saleen meditate. It showed that his understanding of his student was thorough.
On the surface it seemed like Saleen was giving Kang Bai the opportunity to analyze his magical tower, but in reality, the battle was about to begin. If Kang Bai did so, he would be splitting his focus, which would bring no benefits for the following battle.
Saleen was learning from one of the stances from Jola’s swordcraft of using a large gesture for his magic and battle.
Kang Bai fell into the trap. However precious the data was, it could never be compared to life. Saleen was not a merciful person. If he was merciful, he would have been slaughtered by others. Kang Bai had already lost a point. A difference in strength was already seen.
Saleen had comfortably finished his meditation in the Magical Element Tower. He went to the 18th floor, where Sika was.

Sika, I am going to fight the guy downstairs. If there is any danger to my life, I am not planning to call for any help. What do you think, will I win or not?




You will.
Sika’s reply was simple.

Why?


If he does not use much equipment, I can kill with my club. It is stupid for a mage not to use any equipment.


But I am also a mage!


You have the Crystal Finger.


Understood. I won’t underestimate the enemy.
Saleen knew that Sika was rarely sarcastic. He was being complacent and wanted to kill this level 10 mage to stabilize his own confidence. By going to Sika, Saleen could be considered to be proud, wanting Sika to compliment him. However, Sika reminded him that he had the Crystal Finger. It was hard to guarantee that the opponent would not have any unusual skills.
If Kang Bai had a similar skill, Saleen would be in a lot of danger. For a battle between level 10 mages, where neither of them held back, as long as they were hit by magic spells, there was practically no chance of revival.

If you understand then that’s good.
Sika hugged Saleen. Saleen felt the pulses of power in Sika’s body, and his mood stabilized completely.
He returned Her hug. After Sika pushed him away, he stepped out of the Magical Element Tower smiling, and used a dexterity spell to slowly descend onto the ground.

Master, Master Kang Bai is waiting for you.
Daniel saw that Saleen had come out and returned to the magical tower.


Kang Bai was somewhat anxious. He had collected sufficient materials, but Saleen had not appeared. He even thought that Saleen wanted to go back on his word. If Saleen went back on his word, then he would not have an opportunity to chase Saleen away. The extent of the Magical Element Tower’s power did not require that many people to calculate. Even Kang Bai could put together an estimate.
He was no match for it. Having a few thousand high level magic spells descend at the same time was too terrifying.
Seeing that Saleen, Kang Bai stepped out of the pit. It was a wind travel spell. The utilization of the wind element was perfect. When he moved, the lapels of his robe only swayed gently.

Master Saleen.


Master Kang Bai.


Please set the rules for the battle you called for.
Kang Bai’s words sounded like they were spoken by mercenaries. The elderly mage’s skills were tempered over time, but he did not deal with people very often. He mostly came into contact with his Followers and a few people who asked him to help them handle their affairs.

Our battle cannot go beyond the range of this square. Attacks from magic spells can go out of range. During the process of the battle, no one is allowed to call for help. As for equipment, it will be left up to the individual. How is that?


Very good. Let’s begin!

The two were standing close to each other. After Kang Bai finished speaking, he released his territory, which was a giant sea of fire. The temperature suddenly rose to a degree that would cause most living creatures to die. The attack power of fire magic was the strongest out of the six types of magic. The fire element territory had an especially alarming killing power.
A ball of silvery white water flames floated above Saleen’s fingertips. The temperature of the water flames was even lower than absolute zero. An area sealed by ice appeared in Kang Bai’s territory. Saleen was using the water flames for combat.


On another Crystal Wall system, water flames were a rare skill. The skill was originally used for combat. After Water Flame Spells were passed onto the Crystal Wall system where the Myers Continent was located, it was slightly modified for mages to use for alchemy. The effect exceeded items that were in the same league as the Six Elements’ Heavy Water.
Once Kang Bai saw that there was no way to control Saleen using his territory, he felt some panic, because it was not not a territory. it was a water type skill. How was it possible that it could destroy his territorial power?
Saleen calmly prepared his attack within the area sealed in ice. He retrieved a magic staff and pointed at the distant Kang Bai. In his right hand, he readied a skill that was compatible with the magic spell that was stored in the magic staff.
A level 11 magic spell was stored in Saleen’s staff, which Jason brought to him. Since Alchemy City could provide Kang Bai with equipment, Metatrin City could do so for him as well.
Dimensional sound waves could be displayed in a small number of territories.
Kang Bai also released his equipment: the Flame Necklace. When the necklace was released within his territory, its length would be close to that of the range controlled by the territory.
The Flame Necklace headed towards Saleen and wound around him. A layer of water element territory released around Saleen at the same time. Immediately, the might of the water flames increased a few dozen times.
The temperature dropped again. A circular zone of frost appeared. The flame territory became a fire ring, and the flame necklace that had rushed into Saleen’s water element territory was extinguished.

Use all of your power. If you rely on this kind of attack, there is no way for you to win against me.
Saleen’s voice was transmitted from within the territory. The territories of the two level 10 mages overlapped and conflicted with one another. Elemental storm magic had already started to brew on the edges of his territory.
A gigantic twister appeared out of thin air, sharp edged snow mixed within it.
