"This... this is just too strange. How could this happen?" Instructor Wen looked frustrated. Though she felt indignant, she was truly at a loss.

"Is that one very powerful?" Xia Lingyun asked, curious in turn.
"That's an advanced water spell! In terms of power, it's at least a hundred times stronger
