"What was that?!"
The audience below the stage was utterly stunned.
"Magic?"
"It seemed like it... but why was there Blood Qi mixed into it?"
"That wasn't pure magic."
Onstage, Aaron rose directly to his feet, his expression incomparably complex as he uttered one word: "Magic Swordsman!"
The Imperial Academy instructors around him all revealed shocked expressions.
"A Magic Swordsman... really exists?"
"Didn't the Mage Association's research prove that it was impossible?"
An elderly man in mage robes was equally astonished, but he helped explain, "All research reaches its conclusions based on existing data and systems. To raise both the warrior and Mage professions to such a high level at once, while also mastering magic of multiple elements, even including Space Magic... that has long exceeded the scope of the Mage Association's research."
"This is unbelievable..."
The elderly man who had explained earlier had sparkling eyes. "Headmaster Aaron, you must invite him to the Mage Association afterward and have him assist with our research!"
"Mm." Aaron was equally excited. "What he has displayed has already surpassed the existing magic system. If his success can serve as a reference... then perhaps it will open an entirely new door for the Mage profession!"
The battle onstage continued, but both sides tacitly withdrew for the moment.
Xiliyas returned to Nolun's side and checked on her condition.
Nolun waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, took out a bottle of Mana Potion, and quickly drank it. Then she raised her head and stared at Lin Mo with a face full of shock.
Just as Lin Mo had guessed, the skill she had used earlier was indeed called "Curse Interference." It could disrupt an enemy's skills, scatter their energy, alter their direction, or even reflect them directly back.
But all of that
