'Possessed by Evil Spirit' can also be lent to others, which is undoubtedly good news. This way, if I don't want to fight one day, I can completely lend 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' to someone else, and I don't have to worry about it not being returned.

For example, a certain Hulk, with that guy's strength, plus the bonus from 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' would surely be terrifying.

"Remember my words, never let power control you."

Watching Gu Yi return 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' and leave, Phini opened his mouth but didn't ask why Gu Yi refused to form armor earlier.

"Brother Mordo, come out for a spar!"

Early in the morning, Phini excitedly arrived at Mordo's door, urging him on with an impatient look.

The experience gained from combat far exceeded Phini's expectations. For the past week, Phini had been using 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' to spar with Mordo almost every day.

Mordo, seeing 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' for the first time, was startled and questioned him for a long time. In the end, Phini, too lazy to answer, simply passed it off as a magic tool specially given to him by Gu Yi.

The result was that Mordo kept muttering in secret corners, complaining about unfairness, like "I arrived first," and so on.

Getting back to the point, after a week of testing, Phini realized he had greatly underestimated the experience gained from combat, or rather, from fighting strong opponents.

The experience gained from fighting Mordo this past week was equivalent to his previous three months of growth. This was an incredibly terrifying speed; in one month, it was equivalent to a whole year before.

Furthermore, Phini discovered that winning battles yielded much more experience than losing. He found this out once when he knocked Mordo down by taking advantage of his momentary distraction.

At that moment, Phini deeply regretted not discovering this sooner. If he had known earlier, even at the risk of exposure, constantly seeking out fights would have resulted in more than just three skills by now.

However, this thought didn't last long. He remembered Gu Yi's admonition, then analyzed it carefully, feeling that even if he had discovered it earlier, it wouldn't have been much faster.

The most crucial points for gaining experience through combat were the opponent's strength and the use of 'Possessed by Evil Spirit.' With 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' and 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll,' he definitely couldn't defeat very strong opponents.

Therefore, it was mainly 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' that significantly boosted his strength, combined with Mordo's own considerable power, that led to this situation.

After figuring this out, Phini no longer regretted the past but cherished the present, which meant finding Mordo for a daily spar to gain experience without fail.

"Are you possessed lately?"

Mordo opened the door with a bitter expression and complained. He had indeed asked Gu Yi about 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' out of concern. Although Gu Yi denied giving it to him, she still told him not to worry about it and to help out as much as possible.

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense, let's go."

Phini pulled Mordo towards the training ground. Many sorcerers along the way saw this and immediately gathered around with interest.

Kamar-Taj was not that large, and the fact that Phini and Mordo fought daily quickly became common knowledge. In the cultivation of sorcerers, such things were not uncommon.

But Mordo and Phini were disciples of Gu Yi. Phini aside for the moment, Mordo's skill level was top-tier within Kamar-Taj.

Being a sorcerer was not a safe profession. Since their duty was to protect the safety of this world, it wouldn't be called protection if there were no threats. Learning magic was for combat.

Therefore, many sorcerers would always gather to watch their fights.

"Sorcerer Phini, go for it! Defeat Sorcerer Mordo today!"

"Sorcerer Mordo, don't be careless and lose like last time!"

In the training ground, both had their own fans. Although Phini had only been here for a little over a month, he had won the favor of many sorcerers with his 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll' and his age advantage.

Ignoring the distractions from outside the arena, Phini, standing in the center, gave Mordo a provocative look before directly extending his hand and summoning his long sword, shouting:

"Possessed by Evil Spirit!"

A dazzling silver-white armor instantly enveloped his entire body. He had no weapon in hand, but even so, judging by its appearance alone, it was streets ahead of the shabby Mordo before him.

By now, the other sorcerers around were accustomed to Phini's 'Possessed by Evil Spirit.' Although most of them were as startled as Mordo the first time they saw it.

Similarly, after learning about its "origin," many envious whispers like "Master Ancient One is so biased" and "I want armor too" secretly arose. Gu Yi had reprimanded him for this more than once.

Seeing that Phini was fully equipped, Mordo dared not be careless. He quickly activated the Walter's Swift Boots on his feet, then empowered both hands with Raggadorr's Ring, which was the magic shield, and stood guard vigilantly.

Most sorcerers in Kamar-Taj were melee sorcerers. Although ranged magic existed, it was either because the power of ranged spells was immense and difficult for ordinary sorcerers to control, or because the spells were too difficult, and many couldn't learn them.

Phini wasn't sure if Mordo knew ranged spells, but it was just a normal spar, and neither of them would go all out, especially with Gu Yi around. Even if an accident happened, the Time Stone could save the day.

With fewer concerns, Phini fought with exceptional decisiveness. Coupled with the advantage of his armor's defense, he charged forward directly.

Mordo didn't panic. Seizing the moment Phini charged, he immediately activated the magical effect of the Walter's Swift Boots, leaped into the air, accelerated, stepped in mid-air, and jumped behind Phini to attack.

However, the moment Mordo leaped, Phini reacted, slowing down while quickly flipping over to block Mordo's attack with his arm.

"Phini, you're a sorcerer, don't always rely on your armor."

Mordo didn't pursue. As he retreated, he shouted this, not out of jealousy or annoyance, but to guide Phini, not wanting him to neglect his spell learning by always relying on his armor.

Phini accepted this humbly. Under the enhancement of 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' his all-around abilities improved, and even his spells, which could only produce sparks, could now somewhat smoothly turn into small flames.

Although they flickered on and off.

Condensing a dim Raggadorr's Ring on his right hand, Phini charged at Mordo again.

The two fought back and forth, with occasional gasps from the surrounding sorcerers. After about half an hour, the fight ended with Phini's defeat due to exhaustion.

Disengaging 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' Phini lay on the ground without any regard for his image. Mordo, though also panting, looked much better than Phini.

"Can't you go easy on me and let me win a few times, Brother Mordo?"

Although he said this, Phini knew very well that Mordo had definitely held back, otherwise, the fight wouldn't have lasted this long. Mordo had also been pointing out his flaws during the combat.

It was precisely because of this that even when other sorcerers in Kamar-Taj addressed each other by their titles, he still affectionately called Mordo "Brother Mordo."

"A true enemy won't go easy on you!"

After Mordo offered a serious piece of advice, he asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?"

"Wake up, Brother Mordo. While I lost to you in the end, it's still quite difficult for you to break through my defenses."

Hearing this, Mordo couldn't help but feel jealous again, constantly muttering in his heart: I was here first, why does he alone get Master's favor!

You can't keep shearing the same sheep. In the following days, Feeney also fought with other mages successively. But comparatively, he gained the most experience from Mordo. For this reason, Feeney even secretly gave Mordo a nickname.

Experience Baby Mordo!

Just like that, another month passed without them realizing it. A phone call disrupted Feeney's rhythm of grinding for experience.

Hmm, there's a tip today. This is the first tip. Many thanks to Star Shattering Emperor for the tip. Everyone else, come and learn! ()
