Threatening the Grandmaster

"Who goes there?!"

As soon as Li Yan arrived at his master Seria's castle, a sweet, delicate voice rang out, followed by a barrage of fiery arrows that covered the entire sky.

"It's a misunderstanding, Ms. Serie. I am someone you knew."

Li Yan used spatial teleportation to dodge all the magical attacks that covered his position. At this moment, his grandmaster, Seria, was looking at Li Yan expressionlessly.

"Space Magic? You carry some Space-Time fluctuations. You know my name and address, so it seems you do know me!"

Serie stared indifferently, a slight smile playing on her lips. She could sense that the mysterious man's Mana was very weak, yet he could unleash Space Magic without consuming any Mana at all, as if he were releasing Mana from somewhere else, not from his own Mana.

"Elf the Serie, the number one magician second only to the Goddess, who doesn't know her?"

Li Yan chuckled and sat down a hundred meters away from Seria. Judging from the series of magical attacks just now, his grandmaster Seria was probably just testing the waters.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. What brings you here?"

Serie's face showed a hint of impatience; she disliked rude people who arrived unexpectedly.

"Nothing special, I just want to experience your magic, Serie. Either I'll make Serie cry, or you'll make Serie cry."

Li Yan flexed his fingers. A thousand years had passed, and being able to go back in time and do it all was once his fantasy. Now it had come true, and he was going to take revenge on Serie for all the resentment she had shown him when he was still a naive child when magic was still in its infancy.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after a thousand years. He was punished severely for being pinned to the ground, and now he will repay him in the same way.

"Such arrogance! I haven't seen such a cocky guy in a long time."

Serie licked her dry lips, a fighting fervor rising on her face. She couldn't be happier to have someone suddenly come to challenge her to a magical duel.

"Shattered Stars!"

Facing the arrogant and mysterious man, Serie revealed a smug smile. As a golden magic circle appeared in the air, countless Shattered Stars, each the size of sand, hurtled towards Li Yan. The dense, locust-like attack made Li Yan open his eyes wide.

"Using your ultimate move right from the start?"

In a hurry, Li Yan deployed Defensive Magic. The Shattered Stars, a group burst magic, covered all directions and could only be blocked by the future Octagonal Defensive Magic. Elemental magic could not completely block it, and some Shattered Stars would always penetrate the elemental defense and attack the person behind the defense.

"Ping ping ping ping!"

The dense barrage of Shattered Stars magic bombarded the Octagonal Defensive Magic, and the atmosphere of a hail of bullets stirred a sense of excitement within Li Yan.

"Interesting, is this Defensive Magic from another era? It looks quite advanced."

Serie squinted as she studied the magic. The trajectory of the magic was not the same as the path of this magical era, but rather a series of intersecting and linked magical trajectories. Even someone as powerful as her, a figure at the pinnacle of magic, would need to study it for a period of time to replicate it.

"I'm starting to get interested, kid."

Behind Serie, several giant stone golems, each hundreds of meters tall, appeared, with thick, green Thorn Vines rising from the ground—a clear display of the Soldier's Art and a collective attack.

Facing the rapidly rolling giant stone golem and the menacing Thorn Vines, Li Yan unleashed several purple magic circles behind her. The trajectories of Mana intersected, and Upgraded Normal Attack Magic was unleashed. Countless dark purple Mana rays ravaged the Thorn Vines and the giant stone golem. The resilience that the Thorn Vines were so proud of and the defensive capabilities of the giant stone golem were like children facing an adult in the face of the upgraded Normal Attack, utterly vulnerable.

"It's that kind of magic out of date again, magic far beyond our current era. It seems you come from hundreds or even thousands of years in the future."

Serie squinted, making precise analyses and judgments.

"Stop talking nonsense, Serie. I'm here to make you cry. You're underestimating me! I'm going to spank your little bottom until it's bruised and battered."

Li Yan panicked and, steeling herself, used voice-changing magic to shout, trying to attract Serie's hatred and prevent her from making any more guesses.

Clearly, Li Yan's words had a particularly strong effect on Serie. Perhaps it was the inherent sarcasm that made Serie's face turn ruthless. "I'm looking forward to it. Although I really want to know who you are, we will inevitably meet in the future. Right now, I really just want to make you cry. You'd better watch out, or you might accidentally die!"

"Skywide Flying Rain!"

Countless tiny water needles, formed from gathered water droplets, shot towards Li Yan's location. Faced with this natural water-attribute magic, Li Yan calmly used a sea of fire, a type of flame, for defense.

No matter how tiny the water needle, the scorching sea of fire will turn it into steam. And the function of the steam is undeniable: to conceal its location. An invisible Space Magic assassin disappears into the mist, and the threat of such a threat is self-evident.

The water needle was successfully engulfed by the sea of fire, and the mist appeared at the opportune moment. Li Yan decisively released a clone spell, and countless clones surrounded Serie's location from all directions. Each clone activated Upgraded Normal Attack Magic to besiege her.

Faced with the sudden bursts of Normal Attack Magic from all directions within the mist, a fanatical look rose on Serie's face. Her massive Mana surged forth, and countless Defensive Magic pressed close to her. She deftly dodged the Upgraded Normal Attack Magic from all directions, her agile figure making her seem like a Warrior, not a physically weak mage.

Of course, the Normal Attack Magic coming from all directions had some cross-assistance to prevent targeted evasion. Serie's multiple defenses blocked them. As the layers of magical defenses shattered, the fluctuations of Mana energy dissipated in the air. The Upgraded Normal Attack Magic completely dissipated after shattering several Defensive Magic.

"As expected of a magician from the Mythical Era, their fighting instincts are simply terrifying!"

Li Yan's lips curled into a smirk, and Thieving Magic was activated. Serie's eyes widened slightly as she stared in disbelief at the mysterious man before her. This guy had actually used that despicable magic while she was dodging the spell, taking advantage of the gap in her Defensive Magic.

"You're dead!!"

Serie stared intently at Li Yan, who was waving his spoils in one hand. At that moment, Li Yan seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his life, laughing as he waved his spoils like a flag.

"If you dare come any closer, I'll put the spoils on my head!"

Li Yan laughed loudly as he threatened, while Serie gritted her teeth. A magician from the future could be so despicable; he was a disgrace to the magic world!
