Irene did not respond to the Yellow-Robed Magician's questions.

She was also quite interested in Saine, whose origins were mysterious and who had some connection with the Grade Director.

In particular, when he led Sain to join the Holy Tower Academy, he learned that Sain was originally valued by Medici, a second-level peak mage of the Dawn Holy Tower, and was almost taken as a disciple.

So, what exactly makes Saine so outstanding?

The battles taking place on the Challenge Stage were progressing very quickly.

Mark's Flame Hand is indeed powerful, but not enough to directly break through Saine's Earth Elemental Shield.

Just as Mark realized something was wrong and hurriedly began chanting to prepare his next spell, Saine's killing move arrived.

Within the elemental halo before them, the completed Sun's Eye Magic was beginning to converge, with fire and Light Element at its center.

A blazing golden beam of light suddenly shot out from inside the ring, heading straight for Mark on the other side of the Challenge Stage.

Outside the Challenge Stage, the Yellow-Robed Magician had already subtly gathered Element Power, ready to separate the two participating apprentices at any time.

The Mage Irene seemed quite at ease with her junior, and most of her attention was focused on the Sun's Eye elemental ring in front of Saine.

This incredibly powerful high-level magic was something that the Mage Irene had never seen before at the Holy Tower Academy, nor had she ever heard of any other Formal Magician possessing similar spells.

This indicates that this was an advanced spell that Saine had learned and mastered before coming to the Azure Source Holy Tower, and it is unknown which Formal Magician created it.

The Energy Beam from the Sun's Eye pierced through the Fire Wall in front of Mark, leaving a conspicuous small hole in the flames. →

However, Mark, after Fire Wall, did not lose face by being defeated by Saine in one hit.

A shield shimmering with the Water Vapor Power appeared in Mark's hand, and wisps of white vapor appeared on the front of the shield.

Fortunately, Mark reacted quickly enough, and the Fire Wall provided some cover, allowing him to block Saine's attack with this Magic Conductor.

However, Mark's arm shield-like Magic Conductor is clearly inferior to Saine's Earth Elemental Shield.

The High-Level Magic Item in Saine's hands were exquisite items made by his mentor Moxidu, for his disciples to protect their lives.

Mark's Duchy Family is indeed powerful, but it doesn't seem to have produced any outstanding alchemists.

A small hole appeared in the arm shield in Mark's hand, which both surprised and angered the Advanced Apprentice.

It's unclear whether the shield was permanently damaged, but this also demonstrates the powerful single-target attack of Saine 'Sun's Eye Magic.

Mark activated his Sky Soaring Boots and instantly soared into the air above the Challenge Stage.

Battles between apprentices often end quickly.

.

The brief airtime provided by the Sky Soaring Boots can help Mark dodge Saine's subsequent Sun's Eye attack.

Those few minutes were enough for Mark to end the fight.

The chanting of the spell rang out again, this time Mark's voice seemed somewhat hurried.

On the other side, as the Flame Hand dissipated, Saine's figure reappeared in the sight of the spectators outside the Challenge Stage.

The pale yellow Earth Elemental Shield remained intact despite the impact of Mark 'Flame Hand.

The fine, dense cracks indicate that the shield's strength does not exceed the range of advanced magic.

Saine's reappearance in the public eye undoubtedly brought great surprise and shock to the onlookers outside the Challenge Stage.

Compared to the lower-level apprentices of the outer sect, they were surprised that Saine could block Mark's attack, and they took notice of the Earth Elemental Shield on Saine's body and the Sun's Eye elemental aura in front of him.

The more advanced apprentices, including the two Formal Magician, were more interested in the special Magic Power patterns within the elemental aura of the Sun's Eye Saine.

"Oh? It didn't dissipate. Is this a high-level spell that can be continuously cast?" the Yellow-Robed Magician asked Irene beside him.

The Yellow-Robed Magician was not Fire Elementalist, so his understanding of Fire Element Magic was naturally not as good as Irene's.

Irene shook her head slightly and replied, "It should be an improved advanced magic, but it seems that the other party did not completely perfect it."

"Normally, that Element Array Diagram should dissipate after releasing an attack."

"To use it again, you must chant the summoning spell again."

"But after the improvement, the maximum number of times it can be used has become two."

"Because it also involves the use of some Light Element magic, I can't see through its essence at a glance," said the Mage Irene.

Neither of the two Formal Magician had imagined that the improvement to the Sun's Eye would be the result of the efforts of this Advanced Apprentice, Saine, over the past two years.

Perhaps Saine really is a genius.

Or perhaps, this is the result of his two years of diligent study and research into magic, as well as the notes left by his mentor Moxidu.

This unassuming apprentice never revealed his strength and wisdom to outsiders.

If it weren't for the provocation from the Advanced Apprentice Mark today, Saine would have continued to keep a low profile and quietly study all the knowledge and Truth Arcana that interested him.

The remaining Sun's Eye Formation Diagram, activated by Saine's Magic Power, once again converged into a golden beam of light.

However, this time, the circular elemental diagram showed signs of collapse, and it was unknown whether the power of the Sun's Eye Magic would be reduced compared to the last time.

Taking advantage of the lull in the Sun's Eye Magic, Saine's incantation continued unabated.

It's unclear what methods Saine has prepared to counter Mark's next magical attack.

Mark was the first to finish casting the spell.

Looking down at Saine, who was encased in the Earth Elemental Shield "Turtle Shell," Mark roared, "Let this Elemental Shield annihilate you along with it! You absolutely cannot withstand my magic!"

"Group Burst Spell!" Mark shouted, and dense Fire Element particles gathered in front of him.

With a whooshing sound of wings flapping, dozens of crimson firebirds appeared.

Mark's Group Burst Spell, which conjured firebirds, was not as lifelike as the Mage Irene had demonstrated in class.

This shows that Mark's control over Mental Strength and his micro-manipulation of Element Power are far less refined than those of the Mage Irene.

Nevertheless, as a powerful, wide-area advanced spell, Group Burst Spell has indeed reached the upper echelons of advanced spells.

Dozens of firebirds crashed into the Earth Elemental Shield where Saine was located with a "whoosh".

The bright yellow Earth Elemental Shield shattered completely with a "crack" in no time, while the remaining firebirds continued their charge towards Saine with undiminished momentum.

Although he broke through Saine's Elemental Shield, Mark did not let his guard down.

With his Mental Strength highly concentrated, he knew that Saine must still have ways to fight back in such a desperate situation.

Sure enough, a golden light emerged from the raging flames in front of him, and Mark hurriedly maneuvered his Sky Soaring Boots to dodge to the side.

He had already experienced the power and speed of the Sun's Eye Magic's single-target attack.

The burning sensation on his arm made Mark's face turn pale, but he was smiling.

Because the Sun's Eye Magic didn't hit his vital points, Saine is definitely going to be in big trouble.

Group Burst Spell could definitely severely injure Saine inside the Earth Elemental Shield, and even Formal Magician outside the arena could be killed if they are a little slow to react.

Do not regard the Formal Magician in charge of guarding the Challenge Stage as babysitters for these apprentices.

They will indeed do their best to protect the lives of these apprentices within their duties, but to expect to emerge unscathed from an apprenticeship battle of this magnitude is simply absurd.

"Hopefully, the Formal Magician from outside the Challenge Stage will act slowly, so that even if this guy doesn't die, he will be severely injured beyond imagination."

"Of course, it would be better if he were dead!" Mark thought to himself.

However, the next second, a Azure Flame Blade appeared from behind him, causing Mark's expression to plummet from heaven to the depths of despair.
