Thunder and Frost Contest, Heaven's Punishment. Destruction Spear!

After so many ranking battles, the wizards in the entire Fairy Ancient City area are constantly moving towards the center, forming a tight "ring" around the thirty-two stone pillars.

This "circle" is noisy, restless, and passionate.

After Serena and others continuously manifested their Soul Trait, this "ring" became like a red-hot iron, constantly radiating a "scorching" aura.

This "intense" feeling typically reaches a small climax at the beginning and end of each battle.

The latter is due to the judgment of victory or defeat, the analysis of the battle process, and the admiration for the two sides. The former is due to the obscuring effect of the white light from the stone pillars. Before a genius appears, the wizards gathered around the ranking battlefield do not know their identities, which gives many people an expectation of "waiting for the mystery to be revealed".

For example, right now.

As Ronan walked toward the central platform, his extraordinary senses allowed him to hear the faint sounds of the onlookers discussing among the wizards in the distance.

These heated discussions are mostly about his current opponents.

——

This is a tall, handsome young wizard.

Countless electric sparks intertwined all over his body, his deep blue robe pulsating with the current, and the electric light in his eyes reflected the lightning patterns outlined on his robe.

He descended upon the scene like a blazing bolt of lightning, possessing both the domineering power of an electric wizard and an aura of majesty akin to a worldly monarch, looking down upon everyone with indifference and pride.

"Jupiter! It's Jupiter!"

"In the entire south, the Thunder Council is considered the top power in the field of electric magic."

Jupiter is known as the youngest vice-president in the history of the Thunder Council. His strength and talent are estimated to be only slightly superior to the inheritors of the three major wizarding powers, including Adam, and the Princess from the Central Region.

"This battle is a foregone conclusion. What I'm more looking forward to is whether Jupiter can manifest his unique Soul Trait after winning, and what those Soul Trait will be like?"

"Jupiter is strong, but he's only at the mid-stage of level three. It's unlikely that his special ability will manifest at this stage..."

"Within the legendary realm of Helamus, anything is possible! This is our generation of miracles from the South!"

"."

"I just found out too."

Ronan listened to the lively discussions around him, looked at the young man in front of him with some emotion, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so famous in the South."

Yes.

Ronan's rival was Jupiter.

The former kings of the younger generation of the six major wizarding forces, led by the Thunder Council.

During the battle on the Goblin Plain, he was ambushed and seriously injured by Anglie. Three years later, not only has he recovered from his injuries, but he also looks much stronger than he did three years ago.

Compared to the acclaim bestowed upon Jupiter by onlookers, who were already renowned geniuses, the evaluations of him were not so favorable.

There is very little discussion about him, and when there is, it is mostly limited to phrases like "Who is this guy?", "Never seen him before", or "Looks very ordinary".

The process of the first round of the battle for seats was not made public, and Ronan's breakthrough came in the final stage of the battle, so most people did not see him sever Andariel's arm and rise to power by stepping on Andariel's shoulders.

Although Ronan didn't care about these superficial external opinions, he was still somewhat annoyed.

Especially when Jupiter was looking down at him with a condescending and indifferent gaze.

Jupiter readily accepted Ronan's sentiments.

"After this battle for the top spot, Thunder's name will be known throughout the South."

Jupiter looked at Ronan and said calmly, "As my first opponent, the first stepping stone that will help me reach the top, you should feel honored."

"Well"

Ronan blinked, looking somewhat surprised.

After a moment, he shook his head with amusement. "You almost made me doubt whether the guy who collapsed next to me and was vomiting blood back in the Goblin Plain was actually named Jupiter."

As he finished speaking, two bewitching golden flames quietly ignited in Ronan's azure eyes.

He forcefully tugged at the corner of his mouth, Itai- like liquid adhered to his entire body.

The person suddenly disappeared.

The next moment.

Clad in mysterious silver metallic armor, Ronan, with his agile figure, had already appeared above Jupiter's head.

Where does your confidence come from?

Ronan's eyes burned with fierce determination, his fighting spirit rising like boiling magma, while the gray clouds behind him surged and roared.

He raised his right hand, and a blazing emerald Spell Breaking Flame ignited on the silver-white Itai. Amidst the flow of countless magical energy, a huge crescent-shaped blade rapidly took shape.

"You can use me as a stepping stone!"

"Boom--"

Ronan made a slashing motion, and the silver-white blade wrapped in the Spell Breaking Flame tore through the void, carrying an overwhelming momentum that could annihilate everything, like a silver-green lightning bolt, and slashed fiercely towards Jupiter's head!

Jupiter's eyes reflected the sharp blades of the magic that were tearing through the air, and waves of spiritual energy surged around him like a tide.

His eyes were calm.

He spoke softly.

"You will see it in the name of thunder."

"It's this guy?!"

Outside the ranking battlefield, at the residence of the Life Royal Court, Moriel stared in surprise at a silver figure that had appeared on the Battle Platform.

"He's still alive?!"

Not only was he not dead, but he was also alive and kicking. His strength had also increased from level two to level three, and he even appeared on the stage of the Helamus Genius Seat Ranking Battle!

This was somewhat difficult for Moriel to accept.

You should know that the Golden Curse power unleashed by the Mechanical Heart's Golden Magic Box was almost too much for her to withstand.

How could a low-level wizard from the south possibly survive that power?

Surviving is one thing, but the real problem is that this guy might have seen me saying, "You better pray you die peacefully on the fighting stage!!"

Moriel stared at the battle in the distance and began to grind her teeth.

Few people noticed Moriel's unusual behavior, because some people on the Life Royal Court were also surprised by Ronan's appearance.

Grace, and several other Life Royal Court wizards who had brief encounters with Ronan.

"The Southern Wizard World is truly inferior to that in the central region."

A young man with the words "trash" and "dog shit" written on his left and right cheeks respectively stared at the battle in the distance and sneered, "Any kind of lowlife can be ranked among the prodigies."

This is a disgrace to the legendary name of Helamus.

The young man spat under his breath, his expression quite disdainful, which, combined with his current appearance, made him look rather comical.

Beside her, the Silver-Haired Witch face was also covered in messy writing, remained relatively calm. She turned her gaze to Grace and, after thinking for a moment, said softly, "She must have gotten in by chance because of what she got from Princess Serena."

However, this will most likely be the only competition; they'll soon be eliminated in the central region, where there are far too many more outstanding young wizards.

Grace lowered her head and didn't say anything.

He would only occasionally raise his head, a faint, complex look flashing in his eyes.

Amidst the vast crowd, several wizards dressed in robes bearing the Silver Magic Ring insignia were also watching the battle.

If Ronan were here, he would recognize many of these people as familiar faces.

"It's Damien."

A young wizard spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing barely suppressed excitement and exhilaration.

"It's unbelievable that he's already advanced to level three. I haven't seen him for about three whole years. I thought he had given up on this grand event, but I never expected this."

The wizard with the Silver Magic Ring tightened his grip on his staff, exclaiming in admiration, "So he had already participated, and even secured a place! This is a grand gathering of all the top wizarding geniuses in the entire South; even Orian couldn't make it into the top thirty-two!"

"Yes.."

Clemens, his eyes as blue as Clemens lazuli, spoke with a complex expression, "Even Orian couldn't do it, yet he's already qualified to be Jupiter's opponent. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Damien will become famous in the South."

The members of the Silver Magic Ring kept talking, unable to hide their excitement. Seeing Ronan fighting on the stage, they also felt a sense of pride.

Others may not know, but those who are also part of the Arcane Circle know best.

How old is Ronan's soul?

He has been competing with others for almost an entire generation.

"Boom!!"

The thick, paste-like lightning stubbornly resisted the rapidly spinning metal moon wheel. The Itai blade, enhanced with the Spell Breaking Flame, could no longer penetrate within ten meters of Jupiter.

"Stasis!"

Beneath the cold, silver mask, Ronan's eyes flickered slightly.

The spinning metal moon wheel suddenly dispersed, transforming from the [Fortify] and sharpest blades into fluid, flowing water.

Torrent of silvery metal flowed rapidly around the area where Jupiter was located, but it was blocked by the plasma and the power of the magic domain, which were like waves, and could not penetrate it.

The power of spatial Stasis emanated, and the flickering lightning seemed to fall into a momentary calm.

However, before Ronan could unleash his [[Shattered Silver]], the imprisoned void was shattered from within by an overwhelming and domineering force! "Sizzle—"

A surge of blue-purple plasma erupted, shattering the silver-white metal mirror into countless pieces that scattered in all directions. A large amount of Itai was evaporated in the electric current. Jupiter, surrounded by several blazing electric snakes, calmly walked out from the center of the two energy bursts.

Stop trying these useless tricks.

Jupiter looked at Ronan, his voice, amplified by countless crackling electric sparks in the air, was calm yet as majestic as thunder.

He spoke to Ronan in a commanding tone, like a supreme monarch.

"Show me your true abilities."

Otherwise, I won't give you another chance to act recklessly.

"Hiss--"

Ronan took a deep breath but did not answer.

The Itai had scattered in the void and was attached to his body was collected into his robe.

Fighting an electric wizard and covering your entire body with easily conductive metal is a rather foolish thing to do, especially against a powerful electric wizard like Jupiter.

Ronan only realized this himself.

At this point, the vast fighting space had almost completely become Jupiter's domain.

The air was filled with streaks of electricity. These sparks were not enough to harm Ronan, but even with the [Protection] of his Spiritual Force Field, he could still feel a slight tingling and stinging sensation.

This feeling even affected his mental strength.

That's incredible! Jupiter's understanding and mastery of the law of electricity has reached an unbelievable level.

The plasma spell he just released, level two? It's probably already close to the level of Level Three Magic Domain Resonance.

Otherwise, there's no reason why First Resonance Realm's Spell Breaking Flame wouldn't be able to penetrate! "When fighting an electric mage, earth magic should be the most effective, or perhaps plant magic."

"Unfortunately, I know neither earth magic nor plant magic..."

Ronan raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched in front of him.

A dense, mysterious aura flowed from his fingertips, his domain permeating his body. Countless frosts spread through the void, forming a vortex, from which a huge, Pure White Ice Blade slowly rose.

Ronan made a slashing motion.

Pure White Ice Blade swept across, instantly clearing away a large area of lightning, leaving deep, dark slashes in the void.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

Because Jupiter's electric magic field was too powerful and domineering, it almost drove away all free energy particles in the space except for electric ones, which greatly weakened the power of his Ice Magic.

Just like Ronan has always used his Ice Cold Domain to weaken and suppress others, this feeling is very uncomfortable.

[Unparalleled Ice Seal Sphere]! [Ice Seal Array]! [Ice Breaking Spear]! Ronan remained expressionless, continuously summoning one powerful ice spell after another.

During the three years he Ascetic Loft the Silver Magic Ring Pavilion, he also Master Level all three first-tier Ice Magic he learned.

New and old laws overlapped, layers of legal domains spread out, and frost expanded. Ronan's expression was cold, his silver-gray robes fluttering in the frost and snow, and he was surrounded by endless blue light. He swiftly regained control of this space from Jupiter! The heated discussions outside the arena gradually subsided.

Countless onlookers were shocked by Ronan's terrifying talent in Ice Magic. They couldn't imagine how a wizard could comprehend so much Extraordinary Magic Domain power at such a young age.

Could this person have been studying Ice Magic and learning how to chant spells since birth? Or is he simply an ice-type magical beast in human skin?! The electric current surrounding Jupiter had completely turned from blue to purple.

The deep purple lightning coalesced into rolling balls of lightning, roaming freely across the field and constantly colliding with gusts of cold air.

The vast fighting arena gradually dwindled to only two colors: ice blue and deep purple, clearly divided roughly by the middle of the platform.

The power generated by the collision of the magic domain and energy caused the void to distort. Even across the vast spatial distance and the [Protection] barrier that blocked all energy fluctuations, the onlookers could still feel the terrifying destructive power contained within!

"This person is no ordinary opponent. Just which top genius from which lineage of Ice Magic has he emerged from?!"

Some wizards were moved, and many people also shifted some of their attention from Jupiter to Ronan.

Just as the forces of electricity and ice were locked in a stalemate, a blazing red light suddenly flashed in Jupiter's eyes, who had been silent all along.

"Scarlet Lightning!"

In an instant, the originally deep purple electric field suddenly burst forth with orange-red lightning from a certain point.

In the blink of an eye, the orange-red color spread throughout the entire domain. Jupiter flew wildly, his hands were clasped together, and with each breath, endless lightning gathered in his palms, finally transforming into a thick, spear-like crimson lightning bolt that tore through layers of space, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction and annihilation, and shot fiercely toward Ronan.

This lightning bolt was so fast that it was difficult for others to even detect it with their mental power.

[Ice Flame Tundra Frozen Earth!]

The moment Ronan caught Jupiter casting his spell, he immediately constructed the Frozen Earth, Ice Cold Domain that he had already laid out and anchored.

With the blessing of the [Multiple Mirror Lights] rune, his current Ice Cold Domain has a total of thirty-six anchor points!

It also includes six types of ice-based Extraordinary Magic Domain! As the first exquisite octagonal snowflake fell, an indescribable power of extreme cold quietly bloomed around Ronan!

Ice Crystal Spike crystals sprouted, and icy flames danced silently. The Snow Country descended! "Buzz—"

Under the domain filled with the power of extreme cold and freezing, the speed of the crimson lightning released by Jupiter slowed down almost instantly.

Everyone watched as the crimson lightning slowly "crawled" through the Ice Cold Domain void.

Before they could even react with surprise, a figure, enveloped in a torrent of crimson lightning, crashed violently into the domain! "Crack! Crack—"

Countless layers of ice shattered, and endless thunder vanished.

Jupiter appeared silently before the crimson lightning, grasping it gently as if it were a spear.

Then, looking at Ronan, she spoke coldly.

"I told you."

"Stop using these useless tricks."

Jupiter slowly raised the lightning in his hand, and the previously weakened crimson lightning suddenly burst into an unprecedentedly dazzling red light in his hand.

At that moment, it seemed as if all the light in the sky had been stolen away by this lightning bolt, converging on a single point.

A terrifying aura, several times more terrifying than before, suddenly erupted from the lightning.

"[Heavenly Punishment. Spear of Destruction]!"

Ronan's pupils constricted sharply as he watched the crimson, almost black, spear-shaped lightning rapidly enlarge in his vision. He felt a sharp, tearing, and numbing pain throughout his body. "Boom!"

A tremendous roar was heard.

Even with the [Protection] shield in place, many of the onlookers' hearts still trembled violently.

At this moment, many talented wizards watching from the surrounding stone pillars were also moved, and some even stood up from the pillars involuntarily.

"Level Three Magic Domain Resonance?!"
