When the Moon-Ring Witch saw Wizard Mike heading towards the gate formed by the two mountain peaks, she became furious and immediately used her Spell Model to shatter the Magic Pressure lock of the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon, and chased after Mike.

"I don't care what experiments that Great Wizard did on you, and I'm not afraid of Locke Augustine, I'm not afraid! Stop it right now."

At her normal speed, she could catch up with a Second-Ring Wizard whose Magic Pressure was severely depleted in an instant. However, the next moment, the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon opened its mouth and sprayed a high-energy-density black fluid at her. The moment the terrifying Magic Pressure hit the witch, the ground around her shook. If this were not Greater World, but only a medium-sized world, it might have shattered the space of this world in that instant.

"What a powerful surge of energy!"

A silver needle appeared around the Moon-Ring Wizard, automatically weaving together threads of precious magical materials to form a sweater to protect her. This also made the Moon-Ring Witch notice what the black, high-density fluid really was. As she gritted her teeth and slowly retreated, she realized that this fluid was essentially venom.

That is, the venom of the Venomous Snake Clan.

The opponent's attack method was actually no different from the venom sprayed by a world lord from the most ordinary Venom Great World.

But scale itself is a form of power.

The opponent suddenly sprayed out a large amount of venom, causing the venom to generate enormous energy, as if it were an energy source.

The impact, like a pillar of energy, blasted towards her.

This Moon-Ring Witch has a sense of absurdity.

Such immense Magic Pressure, so much energy, was actually being attacked at her in this most primitive way.

"This kind of thing----"

As the Moon-Ring Witch watched the Wizard of Mike's retreating figure, three silver needles appeared before her, weaving a cone-shaped magic umbrella with wavy patterns. The energy impacting this magic umbrella was diverted by the wavy patterns. After the originally high-density concentrated energy column struck this special magic umbrella, it turned into ordinary venom that splashed in all directions, and the surrounding ground was all transformed into special flesh and blood tissue.

After mental calculations, the Moon-Ring Witch quickly devised a response to the opponent's powerful, purely material and energy bombardment. She used Textile Studies magic to create a special magical umbrella that could divert the energy. In this way, she could withstand the direct energy impact of this Third-Ring Level magical Magic Pressure with only a small amount of Magic Pressure.

However, she was unable to catch up with Mike.

Argos's urging voice kept ringing in her ears, making her really annoyed. She wanted to slap Argos, but after all, he was her boss, and his academic achievements far surpassed hers.

The Moon-Ring Witch glared at Michael, Bruce, and Hernan, and roared, "You three, go after them!"

"We're live-streaming the whole thing now. We must showcase the incredible power of our Wizard's Shoe!"

"Otherwise, Locke Augustine will succeed! Go after him!"

The three immediately chased after Wizard Mike, each using their own abilities.

The Hernan Witch was the most zealous among them.

The remaining twenty-odd wizards also quickly chased after Wizard Mike, Mike the net in the sky was also closing in on him.

At that very moment, the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon seemed to realize that these wizards were numerous and extremely troublesome, so it stopped bombarding the Moon-Ring Witch. It seemed to have little reason; it was merely a simple copy of the original Flying Serpent Demon Dragon, a natural reaction of the Plane Principle in this world.

It tilted its head back and used its snake venom to condense a huge sphere, which expanded rapidly until it was essentially the size of a medium-to-large-scale world.

The immense Magic Pressure continued to press the surrounding world further inward, causing it to cave in.

If one were to look down upon this Venom Great World from the void, one would see a massive black sphere appearing on its surface. If the observer didn't think carefully, they might mistake it for some kind of astronomical phenomenon.

The Flying Serpent Demon Dragon was facing the group, bombarding everyone with venomous projectiles—a full-area AOE attack.

These high-value venom bullets struck the Second-Ring Wizard expedition members of Solas Barefoot, sending them flying dozens of kilometers away, disappearing without a trace.

Hernan the Witch dodged dozens of venom projectiles flying everywhere with her Red Elk Wizard's Shoe, while Michael the Wizard used his Thunder-Chaser series Wizard's Shoe to release a magnetic field, predicting the direction of all the venom projectiles around him and avoiding all of them.

Meanwhile, Bruce the Wizard, also using Radiance 05, struggled to squeeze into the gaps between the venom bullets, trying to catch up with Mike the Wizard. By this time, his eyes were bloodshot.

"No matter what we do, I seem to be inferior to you. Without you... That day, the results I derived from the equipment told me that without you, I would have more than three times the resources I have now. Without you, it would be better if you were gone."

Bruce's eyes were bloodshot. Despite the immense danger, he still tried to find gaps between the venom bullets and squeezed through them to evade and chase after Mike.

"This time, I absolutely cannot lose to you."

He recalled his experience of losing to Wizard Mike in the bridge-building competition of the First-Ring Stage. Wizard Mike patted him on the shoulder and told him it didn't matter, since they were wizards from the same department, and whoever won was a winner.

What does it mean to say that whoever wins is still a winner?

The wizard Bruce unleashed his Magic Pressure, and Great Magic Supergravity Planet appeared behind him.

This is nothing but the arrogant words of the victors.

This time, however, he had to beat Mike! He absolutely couldn't lose!

Because he chose to the Wizard Shoes Shop Alliance like Solas Barefoot, he had an absolute advantage.

With a wave of his hand, the wizard Bruce created a gravitational field that subtly guided the direction of the venom bullet, though not much, it was enough to deflect it from its target.

These venom bullets, imbued with immense Magic Pressure, were solely designed to overwhelm these wizards through sheer numerical power, yet the technology they employed was terrifyingly primitive, even laughable.

In the distance, Wizard Mike, following Locke's advice, switched to the Black Lightning Air Pineapple. The Black Lightning Air Pineapple releases lightning in all directions to generate an electric field detection ability, enhancing his evasion capabilities. In this respect, the Black Lightning's detection ability is at least sufficient, and it is no less effective than the Thunder Thunder-Chaser series Star-Ring Wizard shoes against the full-field AoE attack of this Third Ring creature.

Clearly, this was also noticed by the wizards who were watching the live stream.

We're not idiots.

Mike the Wizard dodged two poison bullets aimed at him by swinging upside down in the air. Amidst this area-of-effect attack, it was also a good opportunity to showcase the Wizard's Shoe 'Wizard's Shoe and compare their performance.

Bruce the Wizard's furious roar reached Mike the Wizard's ears. "Mike, how long are you going to stand in my way? When will you disappear?"

Wizard Mike turned around, "Ah? It's Bruce. I thought it was you before. I didn't expect it to actually be you."

you."

"Thank you for the wand."

The wizard Bruce was furious.

At this moment, Wizard Michael swung his Gaul club, hovering in mid-air as if hitting a Gaul, and launched a ball of lightning forward. Because the Thunder-Chaser Wizard's Shoe had already locked onto Wizard Mike, the Mike ball tracked and struck him directly.

Mike wizard unleashed a bolt of Black Lightning with his feet, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Wizard Michael sighed. "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Was it the electromagnetic field of the Black Lightning Wizard's Shoe that interfered with my Spiritual Touch Field lock? Did it forcibly shift my Spiritual Touch Field lock? No wonder I suddenly switched to those Wizard's Shoe that can unleash special lightning. Great Wizard Locke Augustine even considered this. Truly impressive. Impressive to the point of being monstrous. But in that case, I guess I've done my job. As long as it's acceptable, that's fine."

"Such a powerful monster, I have no reason to oppose him."

"Although it's just an academic challenge in the field, which shouldn't be considered a true hostile situation, judging from the current situation, it's possible that things could escalate into a real conflict. I'm looking for a legitimate job, not an illegal or criminal one. It's better if I keep my distance."

Wizard Michael began to lead his team in a slackening of work.

This is simply too dangerous.

To showcase the Wizard's Shoe amidst a full-scale attack from a Third-Ring Level creature is truly extreme.

The Witch Hernan tried to give chase. "Bruce, stop Mike! If you can do this, our sect will reward you handsomely, offering you the best endorsement contract, making an exception and making you the spokesperson for Solas Barefoot explorers! We'll sign a lifetime endorsement contract with you!"

Bruce the Wizard caught up with Mike the Wizard, his eyes fixed on Mike. A glass wand appeared in his hand, its tip emitting a powerful gravitational field. He swung it at Mike, unleashing a Second-Ring Spell Model: Supergravity Planet Cannon Spell Model. "Do you even consider me a worthy opponent?"

Wizard Mike leaped into the air, performing a somersault at the top of his lungs. Then, his Million Mushroom King Wizard Robe took the brunt of Bruce's Supergravity Planet Cannon. A planetary-level gravitational force exploded on Mike's shoulder, while Mike applied gravity to his Ribbed Steel Wand and slammed it directly into Wizard Bruce's forehead.

He rolled and landed.

Bruce the Wizard was hit in the forehead, his Permanent Defense Field Shell was shattered, and he was sent flying a hundred kilometers away, while most of his body was petrified.

This is Second-Ring Spell Model: Gravity Rock Spell.

Wizard Mike looked in the direction where Wizard Bruce had been sent flying, his face serious. "I've always felt a thorn in my side because of you, so I've never let my guard down. The moment you show any sign of trying to harm me, I'll immediately crush you, whether in battle or in academic achievements. Bruce, your backbone isn't as strong as mine, and I'll always be ahead of you. But I can always feel the pressure you exert on me."

The Supergravity Planet cannon was fully released on Mike the Wizard's left shoulder; the powerful gravity warped space, causing him to groan.

He essentially survived one of his spells by virtue of his wizard's robes.

This is the advantage of having armor against unarmored opponents.

The witch Hernan glanced back at the wizard Bruce, gritting her teeth. "This proxy we hired at the cost of a million Magic Stone is utterly useless. Completely ineffective, he was instantly sent flying over a hundred kilometers."

"They've left the battlefield."

"I really don't know why we spent so much money to hire him!"

Locke's Illusion spoke to her from afar, "Ms. Hernan, you can't blame him. Solas Barefoot stingy; he won't even provide the explorers he hires with a decent wizard's robe."

When Hernan saw Locke talking to her, her face turned grim. She didn't reply directly but instead pondered how to use that special magical technique.

The venom bullets continued to loom over everyone's heads, negating Solas Barefoot and Magic Pressure advantage.

Hernan pondered: We must find an opportunity to get close to him.

We absolutely cannot afford to have another dud.

"I have no choice but to fight to the death for my sect!"

Hernan the Witch gritted her teeth, and a magical needle appeared on her body. Then, the needle absorbed the magical energy in the surrounding air and pierced through her body and the wizard's robe on her body, where azure runes appeared.

She then forcibly absorbed the magical energy in the surrounding air, and the area around her was filled with Third-Ring Level Magic Pressure.

Star-Ring Spell Model: Magic-Robe Body!

By using the Great Magic of Textile Studies, Georgina temporarily sews her wizard robes into her Magic Pressure Shell, thus internalizing all the defensive power and magical energy reactions that the wizard robes should possess. This grants her magical combat abilities far surpassing those of ordinary wizards. The reason Georgina didn't know this spell during the Silent Grail Competition is simple: her magic level was too low.

The existence of the Magic-Robe Body allows Textile Studies wizards to temporarily internalize different Wizard's Shoe, robes, gloves, and hats into their own Magic Pressure shells.

Because the strength of the Magic Pressure Shell suddenly increases, it inevitably means that the body's ability to contain Magic Pressure is enhanced, and the ability to belong to the surrounding forms is temporarily increased.

Therefore, a Textile Studies wizard using the Magic-Robe Body can temporarily gain the power of the wizard robes she wears and temporarily belong to the surrounding form, greatly increasing her Magic Pressure. However, this Spell Model has a huge risk of use; the safe use time is only five minutes. Every minute beyond this time may cause irreversible and permanent damage to her soul structure.

This is Star Ring magic that is only used in dire circumstances.

This is a privilege reserved only for Star-Ring Level Textile Studies Wizards.

Hernan the Witch gritted her teeth, her wizard robes as she was, with strips of black cloth wrapped around her. She used her Magic Pressure Shell to forcefully break through a poison bomb and dodge other Magic Pressure bombs, and rushed to the side of Wizard Mike.

Wizard Mike looked at her in surprise. "How could your speed suddenly increase?"

Wizard Mike chanted a spell, altering the Spiritual Touch Field and instantly changing the gravity, intending to throw the Hernan witch away. However, at that moment, the Hernan witch stomped her foot on the ground, and magical energy flowed across the surface of her body.

Wizard Mike stepped back, gritting his teeth; his Earth Magic had been reversed and suppressed.

The opponent suppressed his magic through some incredible enhanced ability.

The Witch Hernan's eyes were icy. "You want to be Grand Explorer? Second-rate wizard, how dare you?"

The Witch Hernan threw a punch, and the Wizard Mike raised his fist to block it.

The next moment, the Permanent Defense Field around his body and the layer of defensive magic applied to his body surface shattered, and countless fragments of rock fell off his skin.

Wizard Mike: This witch is incredibly strong!

Hernan the Witch suddenly roared without regard for her image, and punched Mike in the face again. In an instant, Mike was sent flying, spinning several times in the air. Then Hernan the Witch kicked him, and then she lightly jumped into the air and kicked the still-un-landed wizard Mike.

At that moment, a venom bullet struck her in the back, forcing her to stop attacking as she was knocked away by the Third-Ring Level venom bullet.

The Moon-Ring Witch, who was being heavily targeted by the flying serpent dragons in the distance, brightened slightly. "Lady Hernan, you've done well. Quickly end the fight with him and bring him back."

The Witch Hernan got up from the ground. Although the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon's venom bullets were a full-screen attack, they were chaotic and disordered, so they were not very deadly.

However, this also interrupted her continuous attacks.

Hernan the Witch got up from the ground, but when she looked up, she saw the Wizard of Mike wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and looking at her with excitement. Hernan the Witch's pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, she looked at the wizard's robe that Mike was wearing, shrouded in magical moonlight. "Lucky boy. Is this the power of that Pure Magic Plant Wizard Robe?"

The witch Hernan quickly calculated the power of her spell attack and the extent of damage to the Mycelium on the surface of her wizard's robe.

The result revealed a startling phenomenon. "The defensive capabilities of that wizard's robe are increasing."

"I don't know how it's made. Could it be a modular wizard's robe? But this is cutting-edge technology, and we don't yet have the capacity for mass production. Is it just that weaving has only started this year in some top Textile Studies laboratories?"

The witch Hernan looked at the Illusion of Locke, her pupils suddenly shrinking. "No, this isn't the direction of modular wizard robe technology."

Augustus, the master of Augustine, is no longer the same as before. As the Moon-Ring Grand Wizard, he has his own path.

"A dangerous enemy."

The Hernan witch even took a half step back.

For Void-Forging Wizard, this was a very disheartening matter.

The venom bullets were still covering the area, but the two people were too small to be hit for a long time.

Mike wizard picked up the Ribbed Steel Wand that had fallen to the ground when Hernan had hit him.

"As expected of Star-Ring Wizard. I had no chance to fight back at all. I mean—if I hadn't been prepared. Oh, right, my boss wants me to run to the gate between those two mountain peaks. As a man, I can't go back on my word. I'll be going now."

The witch Hernan was furious at the sight. "You, a mere Second-Ring Wizard, dare to dream of leaving me like this?"

A flame ignited on the Rose Ring in Hernan's hand, and her Magic Pressure increased further, intensifying to...

Reaching the Star-Ring Limit, she attacked Mike in an instant. Just as Mike was about to defend, before he could even see her figure clearly, he was blasted into the air and remained suspended in mid-air.

The next moment, the Witch Hernan launched a series of punches at the Wizard Mike.

The final punch landed squarely on Mike the Wizard's abdomen, causing Mike to cough up blood.

Hernan the Witch glanced coldly at Mike and continued her attack without stopping. With each attack, Mike constantly changed the frequency of her Magic Pressure and altered the Spell Model. As a witch who had been at the Star-Ring Wizard stage for over twenty years, she had mastered thousands of Star-Ring Spell models, but the attacks she had just launched were only a few dozen.

In other words, she still has the capacity to launch an attack.

By constantly changing the Spell Model and Magic Pressure frequency, one can prevent their Spell Model from being adapted to the opponent's wizard robes.

The reason why Mike wizard's robes worked so repeatedly before was simply because he hadn't met her.

Hernan the Witch's Rose Ring on her left hand ignited with pink Spiritual Breath fire. She slammed her fist into Mike 'Mike shoulder, and a sound of bone cracking was heard. Then, to avoid the venom projectile, she was forced to stop attacking again.

Hernan the Witch breathed heavily, calculating the time in her mind. At the same time, she saw that although Wizard Mike was beaten black and blue, the Permanent Defense Field Shell had not completely lost its balance, meaning it had not been broken.

Although his wizard robes did not enhance his Permanent Defense Field, the defensive power they provided was already sufficient.

That's enough.

That's downright wicked and unethical.

These words came to the mind of the Hernan Witch.

However, at the same time, doubts arose in her mind: could it be that instead of strengthening the wizard's Permanent Defense Field Shell, simply relying on the defensive power of the magical plants themselves to layer on the wizard's body was actually a feasible and very powerful path?

If not, why was he able to get back up even after she used so many methods to defeat Constructor time and time again?

On the other side, the Illusion Locke was already standing in front of the gate formed by the two mountain peaks. Since Mike was not far away, and the guardians of this gate clearly believed that the Moon-Ring Witch posed a greater threat, the focus of the attack was on the Moon-Ring Witch with Solas Barefoot.

At this moment, almost all the ordinary Second Ring on the field were knocked away by the barrage of AoE attacks.

Michael the Wizard remained on the edge of the battlefield, not using his full strength. The Moon-Ring Witch attempted to approach Mike but was targeted by the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon. Bruce had already been knocked away, so the only wizard who could potentially stop Mike turned out to be the Hernan Witch.

Locke looked at the stone tablet between the two mountain peaks, on which was written in an ancient Magic Script: "He who slaughters all, when you pass through this giant Divine Gate, a ray of sunlight will shine upon you, and at that moment you will ascend to godhood and enter the Divine Realm."

Locke looked at the two mountain peaks and found that they were covered in dust, but he could still vaguely see the Wizard Array patterns on them.

"This might be some kind of resource in that wizarding society for enhancing magical energy."

Locke fell into deep thought.

At Golden Crown Mountain, in the Saffron Peach Orchard, a Crystallization wizard arrived at the door of Locke's private office in this area and bowed to the witch Planknia. "Ms. Planknia, has Lord Augustine not returned yet? I do have urgent business with him."

Planknia stood at the office door and said, "It's not that the professor hasn't returned; he's in the lab conducting an important experiment. He simply doesn't have time for such trivial matters. What is it you need?"

The Crystallization wizard sensed the other party's impatience, but he wasn't angry, since he knew what the other party said was true.

The Crystallization wizard spoke gently and humbly. "Actually, it's about the Mushroom King cultivated by Wizard Julian. This Mushroom King clearly surpasses the level of a normal apprentice's magical plant. As the head of the Competition Committee for the Magic Plant Design Competition, I want to find Lord Augustine to confirm that this student did not cheat."

Planknia grew increasingly impatient, because Locke had given her instructions that no one should disturb him during this time, no matter what happened.

"Leave this small matter to me. I know what the committee is worried about; I've been involved in this project before."

Feel free to ask me any questions. If Julian did indeed use materials from the lab, then I will not cover for him.

The Crystallization wizard thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea. After all, it was indeed too much trouble to bother a Moon-Ring Grand Wizard just for the sake of an apprentice.

The outer perimeter of Venom Great World L3 Area.

The Witch Hernan frowned as she noticed that Wizard Mike had suddenly disappeared. "Those are the Star Ring Pure Magic Plant Wizard Shoes — the King's New Shoes."

"The ability to cause trouble."

The Witch Hernan looked around and discovered that the Moon-Ring Witch leading the group was constantly increasing her Magic Pressure and casting Textile Studies magic, which aroused the great interest of the Third Ring Being. This resulted in fewer poison bullets covering their side.

This is a very rare period of time, and it may very well be the only opportunity, to utilize Solas Barefoot technique.

The Witch Hernan acted decisively, taking out the Anbo Magic Orb. Instantly, the basketball-sized ball emitted a rainbow of light, making the surrounding environment seem to be dyed with rainbow colors.

Then, she slammed the ball down onto the ground, shattering the magic ball.

In an instant, the special cold air stored inside the magic sphere erupted. It was the cold air of the Magic Winter that came from the breach of the Cold Sky River. A layer of frost appeared on the ground where the cold air passed, and even the concentration gradient of Magic Tide and the scattered Third Ring Magic Pressure in the nearby air were all frozen into frost.

In an instant, dozens of venom orbs that were close to them were frozen solid by frost.

The Half-Body of Hernan the Witch and Mike were completely frozen by frost.

Locke's Illusion turned around, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Argos, who was practically glued to the Illusion Screen, breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing this. He then spoke through the Lingzhi Magic Plant Lingzhi Magic Plant to the witch Hernan, who had activated its instant messaging function. "Hernan, you did very well."

"Things are finally getting back on track."

The wizard designers, who had been on tenterhooks, finally relaxed upon seeing this scene. Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others were still wondering about the significance of using the Anbo Magic Orb at this moment.

The Anbo Magic Orb is a special environmental magic that can store special magical energy to achieve long-term, permanent changes to a certain environment.

Before the Anbo Magic Orb, the question of how magical energy could permanently alter the environment and produce effective phenomena in battles of equal strength remained unresolved, as it was a paradoxical problem.

To alter the surrounding environment and influence the outcome of a battle, a significant amount of Magic Pressure must be invested in this action.

The energy efficiency ratio has never been very high.

Anbo Magic Orb solved this problem using special materials.

This is the first creation of the Alchemist from Dragonfall Land after becoming Third-Ring Wizard, or perhaps the Anbo Magic Orb project is the final result of his research using the Third-Ring Fund he applied for after becoming Third-Ring Wizard.

Rose Witch looked at Argos and raised an eyebrow.

The Wizard Argos, however, remained calm and composed, standing with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as if to meditate.

It was as if the rhythm had finally fallen into his hands.

The Wizard Argos's lips curled into a slight smile.

Meanwhile, in his palace in the Nubis Greater World, the Moon-Ring Wizard Africanus excitedly stood up from the sofa and began gesturing wildly. "That's more like it!"

"Keep it up, crush them completely!"

Overcome with excitement, he put his arm around a maid and tucked her neck under his armpit. This action had no other meaning than treating her as a piece of furniture.

"Keep it up, keep it up. Most of the debt issued by my dynasty is tied to the profits generated by the shares of Solas Barefoot. As long as Solas Barefoot becomes more and more profitable, I can mortgage those magical mines and obtain them from the Eastern Realm."

They've taken it from those bastards at the district investment bank. Go, go! Little Argos, beat that guy to a pulp!

In the Venom Great World, the witch Hernan's Wizard's Shoe suddenly burst into flames. "The Anbo Magic Orb can permanently alter the environment of an area, creating the most advantageous combat environment for a wizard. And this technology, combined with the World Foundation Stone — the Wizard's Shoe technology—results in the most suitable and efficient use of the Anbo Magic Orb."

"This was my teacher taking advantage of a Third-Ring Wizard's ingenuity."

"Once we restrict those troublesome Wizard's Shoe of yours with their advanced invisibility abilities, you won't be able to cause any trouble, right?"

Hernan's feet were ablaze with flames, and the ice that had frozen them was melting away.

At the same time, tiny, melted water droplets floated around a pair of Red Elk Wizard's Shoe. Wizard Mike's eyes widened. Yes, the reaction between the World Foundation Stone and matter would generate a large amount of heat, which could naturally melt the Magic Winter that should have frozen everything.

At the same time, the World Foundation Stone merges into matter. It is clear that the Anbo Magic Orb first summoned a small-scale Magic Winter Disaster here, freezing everyone, and then used the World Foundation Stone's ability to merge with matter and generate high heat to remove the effects of Magic Winter from itself.

At the same time, the immense heat generated by the fusion of the World Foundation Stone with matter was an extremely dangerous thing, which he originally intended to use to deal with these wizards.

Who knew that the other party had overcome their weakness and then exploited it?

Countless skilled Alchemist attempted to extract the World Foundation Stone died in the high-temperature explosions that occurred when the World Foundation Stone was incorporated into matter.

However, Anbo Magic Orb caused the Magic Winter and the high-temperature explosion to cancel each other out.

Wizard Mike looked around. "Magic Winter is spreading automatically."

As a wizard of the Shaping School, he understood what Magic Winter was better than ordinary wizards. It was the maximum energy storage state of all things, that is, a special state in which a substance stores energy, and this state cannot be broken by any triggering conditions. The energy released by the merging of all the Spiritual Touch must be lower than the energy released by the breaking of the Spiritual Touch.

The entire universe has entered a state of complete energy stagnation.

It is a disease and plague that, once it appears, will continue to spread; it is a disease and plague for the world!

The Wizarding World was able to survive in the past because the Wizard Civilization was powerful.

The Witch Hernan looked around. "Hmm? Looks quite nice."

"This was a success on the first try. This kind of magic is impossible to use in the wizarding world; if you did, you'd be thrown into Wizard Prison the next day. The Magic Winter created by the Anbo Magic Orb is the real deal. This small patch of Magic Winter will continue to spread, it's not ordinary environmental magic. Until the entire Venom Great World is completely in Magic Winter state. But that would take at least tens of thousands of years. Who knows, who cares? Hahaha, that's the fun of exploring different planes. Hahaha----"

The witch Hernan laughed loudly, "We can use those spells that are forbidden in the wizarding world in other worlds. It doesn't matter if we lose some Civilization Credit Points. As long as we figure out how to get our points back, it'll be fine."

"Hahaha----"

Wizard Mike's expression turned serious. "Your Excellency Hernan, dimensional exploration isn't like this."

In the distance, two mountain peaks suddenly lit up with a magical light, which rose from the ground and spread towards the sky.

Locke's Illusion stood before the mountain peak. He had simply found a spot with thirty stone tablets there, then adjusted them, reactivating the Ritual Magic. "Just as I suspected. This is how the Ritual Magic is activated. My Star Ring is here; I still have the ability to move a few stone tablets."

At this moment, the two mountain peaks were resplendent in gold and green, as if they were Divine Mountain.

The magical radiance between the two Divine Mountain resembles a flame reaching the heavens, merging into the sky as if it could send people soaring into the heavens, the region known as the Divine Realm.

Locke was quite curious about what exactly that Divine Realm was.

It's quite normal for there to be some strange dimensional structures in the Greater World; some of these structures might even be extremely valuable Magic Resources.

"The ritual's energy is running low. It should only allow one person to enter at a time. I don't know what's behind the ritual, but it must be a very important hidden area in this world. Mr. Mike, do you want to enter? If you feel it's dangerous, you certainly have the right to refuse."

Locke shouted in Mike's direction.

The wizard Mike, however, endured the pain and cold, using a series of gravity spells to remove the freeze from his feet—something he was capable of doing.

The horror of Magic Winter lies in the permanent alteration of the entire world's environment.

However, for Second-Ring Wizard, localized energy freezing can still be resolved.

Wizard Mike wiped the dried blood from his face. "To venture into extreme environments no other wizard has ever reached, to explore the ends of the earth, to find new geography, to discover more Magic Resources —that's what explorers should do. Now my boss is calling me. I have to go. Please don't get in my way."

Hernan the Witch narrowed her eyes, and in an instant, she was in front of the Wizard Mike, kicking him away.

When the wizard Mike got up again, she appeared beside him and punched him in the face.

The Wizard Mike coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth.

The Witch Hernan sneered, "You dare to talk nonsense?"

"It's perfectly normal that you were able to break free from the Magic Winter's freeze. However, whether it's your Wizard's Shoe or your..."

There's one insurmountable obstacle to the wizard's robes: the Magic Winter. As living beings, they need to expend tremendous effort to survive. And life itself is incredibly fragile.

"So both your Wizard's Shoe and your wizard robes will be forced into a state of resistance against the cold during the Magic Winter. But my Wizard's Shoe and my wizard robes have one advantage—they are inanimate objects and don't need to maintain their own life characteristics."

The Witch Hernan kicked the Wizard Mike away again.

"Look how weak you are now."

The witch Hernan heard the sound of bones cracking. "Your wizard's robes and your Wizard's Shoe can no longer help you."

Although High-Ring Magic Plant are far more resilient to environmental changes than ordinary life forms, in the midst of Magic Winter, all the magical plant properties on you will decrease. However, because of the World Foundation Stone, the properties of my Wizard's Shoe not only didn't decrease, but actually increased."

"Do you still dare to talk nonsense now?"

Hernan the Witch estimated that she could kick Mike Wizard to death right now, but she definitely couldn't kill someone while the broadcast was live.

So as long as Mike is seriously injured to the point that he can't stand up, or he admits defeat, that's enough.

However, for the sake of the show, she kicked the Wizard Mike away, sending him rolling on the ground. This would enhance the entertainment value and allow the wizarding audience and shareholders to experience the power of this environmental alteration technology.

Wizard Mike struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He wiped the blood from his mouth. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I have to go through the Ritual Gate over there. My boss is calling me. If I give up now, how can I get the endorsement of Augustus?"

"A true explorer is a wizard who constantly seeks new territories."

"I'm not someone who misuses magic to vent their emotions."

The next moment, Hernan kicked him in the face, sending him flying.

Hernan the Witch raised her eyebrows triumphantly. The fear she had felt earlier, when she was stunned by the Pure Magic Plant Wizard Shoes and Pure Magic Plant Wizard Robe, was now unleashed and turned into an even more rampant rage. The fear she had felt earlier, when she was tricked by Locke's Illusion and lost more than thirty wizard team members, now transformed into the tyranny she inflicted on Wizard Mike.

Argos looked at the scene on the Illusion Screen, his heart filled with joy. "Hernan, you did a great job."

"You're much more useful than Lex."

"The more miserably we beat that wizard, the better it will showcase the power of our technology. His previous impressive performance will only highlight the success of our Environment-Adapting Wizard's Shoe Technique. From now on, I want all Wizard's Shoe to be equipped with the Anbo Magic Orb. I've already reached an agreement with a Sun-Ring Wizard Third-Ring Wizard's student; our Solas Barefoot can produce these accessories for that Third-Ring Wizard. This will be another significant source of profit."

"Make that wizard even worse! But remember to stop when you've hit rock bottom! Don't inflict irreparable damage! This is an academic combat test, not a field attack. Although we insisted on this, Locke Augustine didn't explicitly refuse. Other worlds don't have the same strict Wizard Law as our own, but we still need to be mindful of our actions."

"Don't let Augustus find any fault with us."

"We must make those Pure Magic Plant Wizard Shoes and robes a thing of the past!"

The Rose Throne watched the scene unfold with great interest.

Rose Witch, however, remained expressionless.

All the designers in the conference room stood up and began to applaud.

Meanwhile, in the Venom Great World, the Flying Serpent Demon Dragon King kept the other wizards at bay, while the Witch Hernan stood alone, her left foot planted on the Wizard Mike's chest, a Wizard Sword pointed at his throat. Intending to demonstrate the power of environmental alteration technology, the Witch Hernan said to him, "I want you to admit it yourself: what determines the quality of a wizard explorer is how many civilizations he has slaughtered. Otherwise, you die."

Mike looked at her defiantly. "Even if you kill me, I still won't say that."

"Because that's not true."

"This is completely different from the philosophy of our explorers at the Kunguding Academy. The great explorer Zarathustra I knew was not like that at all."

The distant Illusion of Locke looked at Mike and said, "Mr. Mike, although we'll encounter many dangers in the Venom Great World this time, I've never considered those idiots Solas Barefoot to be dangerous. Mr. Mike, what lies behind the Ritual Gate, and how dangerous it truly is, none of us can know. So, let's deal with that witch as soon as possible and step through that Ritual Gate."

"Those idiots with Solas Barefoot technique, I never expected their approach to clash with mine. They're just a bit mediocre, though. I also think the next stage of Wizard's Shoe should be about actively changing the environment, making the surroundings adapt to the wizard so they can better unleash their combat power. It's a pity I've observed for so long; at first I thought it was some secret technique of Solas Barefoot technique, but it turns out it's just a basic, lower-level technique of my magic. Truly disappointing. Mr. Mike, use the Third Pair of Wizard's Shoes."

Wizard Mike looked up and met Hernan's gaze. Mike coughed up blood. "I'm sorry."

"This witch... I wanted to see just how much my spirit could hold out, and I always felt that the more I was beaten, the stronger the Mana my wizard's robes seemed to generate. You've been hitting me for so long, and I've even recovered some Mana. But I don't have time to waste with you anymore. My boss is calling me."

"If I get expelled, I'll never be able to wear such nice Wizard's Shoe again."

The witch Hernan was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion and anger. "What does this mean? Wait—what is this—"

The witch Hernan turned her head and found that she was now surrounded by a Sea of Clouds Sea of Clouds, with what appeared to be floating duckweed. The temperature drop brought by the Magic Winter was offset, and the temperature began to rise rapidly.
