In the arena, Mordo, full of confidence, waited for Feeney to equip the 'Possessed by Evil Spirit'. He didn't notice the changes in the armor.

Actually, without careful observation, it would be difficult to spot the changes in 'Possessed by Evil Spirit'. The originally bright silver armor had dimmed slightly, but it had quietly gained some cyan hues like snow-white ice crystals, occasionally flashing across the surface, making it hard to detect.

"Are you ready?"

Mordo, who had already planned Feeney's defeat, asked.

"Bring it on!"

Feeling the power of the armor on him, Feeney replied.

With Mordo's announcement, Feeney's body suddenly became transparent, as if merging with the air, and then vanished in an instant.

Mordo, who was about to launch an attack, was stunned. While invisibility-like spells weren't unheard of in Kamar-Taj's magical system, they were rare, making it difficult to break immediately.

Fortunately, Mordo's rich combat experience allowed him to quickly regain his composure. He immediately switched from offense to defense, listening intently to the surrounding movements.

Seeing this, Feeney couldn't help but praise Mordo's appropriate response.

He had only recently acquired the invisibility ability and was not very proficient in its use. Careful observation could still reveal traces, and this ability consumed a lot of energy, making it impossible to maintain for long.

"Looks like I can't defeat him instantly."

Feeney was a little disappointed that he couldn't defeat Mordo in one move, but he didn't dwell on it. He cautiously approached using invisibility.

Meanwhile, Mordo was extremely tense. He was also a person who valued his reputation. He had just boasted, and if he were instantly defeated, it would be humiliating if it became a meme.

"Here!"

With his focus, Mordo's rich combat experience shone through. He immediately sensed Feeney's general location and transformed the magic in his hand into an Energy Whip, sweeping it out to cover a large area.

Seeing this, Feeney could only helplessly leap. Upon landing, his position was detected again, and Mordo's attack followed closely.

After a back-and-forth exchange, Feeney was ultimately unable to defeat Mordo. After expending a large amount of stamina with invisibility, he narrowly lost due to a slight opening.

This outcome still made Feeney very happy. If he hadn't misjudged the stamina consumption of invisibility, the final result might have been different. This proved that he had indeed made significant progress.

Most importantly, his experience bar was full, and he could draw his Fourth Skill!

This outcome also allowed Mordo to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. His reputation was temporarily saved. He then felt Feeney's progress, feeling gratified yet also a little nervous.

After all, Feeney had only been training for a year and was already close to defeating him in sparring. Although it wasn't through learned spells, his combat power was already comparable to Mordo's.

"Even without the armor, I absolutely cannot lose in spell cultivation."

Unaware of the truth and feeling unappreciated, Mordo silently resolved to work harder, determined not to let Feeney surpass him in Spell Cultivation.

"Here!"

The spar ended. Feeney, having deactivated 'Possessed by Evil Spirit', walked over to Mordo, who was deep in thought. He casually summoned two 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll' and handed one to Mordo, casually asking, "I haven't seen Teacher around these past few days?"

Taking the fried chicken roll, Mordo snapped back to attention. Hearing Feeney's question, he replied, "Master Ancient One probably went to investigate the whereabouts of a Magic Equipment."

Speaking of Magic Equipment, Feeney thought of the cloak on the second floor of the New York Sanctum.

He clearly remembered that Ancient One had mentioned the cloak was quite fickle, so why was it ignoring him? He was much more handsome than Doctor Strange.

Ancient One's absence ultimately made Feeney abandon the idea of seeking her help, although it was also related to his lack of a justifiable reason.

After treating Mordo to a filling Fried Chicken Roll Set Meal, Feeney opened a Portal back home. As before, he bathed and cleansed himself, washed his hands, and sat on the bed, praying:

"I must draw a good skill!"

When drawing his third skill, he had tried to cheat and draw a good skill using the power of the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique', such as commanding what type of skill he would draw next, but it didn't work.

After a year of training and understanding of sorcerer powers, the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' had also made significant progress, making him realize that this power likely couldn't directly influence the system's draws.

However, he could try to influence himself, like this.

"For the next three seconds, my luck will be greatly enhanced."

Luck is a somewhat abstract concept, with good and bad variations. Such conceptual ideas are extremely difficult to realize because Feeney had to ensure it didn't form concrete content.

For example, what would enhanced luck manifest as!?

If it meant finding money on the street, winning the lottery, or being hit on by beautiful women, that would be easy to achieve. But trying to achieve 'good luck to draw a powerful skill' would fail due to the system.

Therefore, the idea he had to realize had to be purely the concept of 'good luck' and couldn't be expressed through events.

Fortunately, his understanding of sorcerer powers had deepened over the past year; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do this. This was also the first time he had used sorcerer powers to guide the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique'.

As he uttered this command, Feeney channeled his sorcerer energy into the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique'.

Instantly, a wondrous, indescribable feeling washed over him. Without time to think, he entered the system the next second, drew the skill the second after, and waited for the result in the final second.

Fatigue swept over him, but Feeney was excited. Although the consumption of this command was more draining than opening a Portal for an entire day, he would gladly endure more to see the skill the system drew.

The Fourth Skill came from an anime world he was quite familiar with.

"Soaring Skill"

"Origin: Dragon Ball"

"Description: One of the martial arts of the Crane School"

Dragon Ball was an anime where characters casually destroyed universes in the later stages. Although it was a pity he didn't draw a super skill like Ultra Instinct, Soaring Skill was still worth celebrating.

After all, humanity's desire to fly was beyond imagination, and Feeney was one of them.

Besides, while Soaring Skill might seem like just one of the martial arts from the Crane School in Dragon Ball, it's actually a necessary ability for every strong individual. It's like Kamehameha; those who can't use it are practically trash with a combat power of 5.

Looking at Soaring Skill in the system, Feeney couldn't help but smile. He had been worried about aerial combat, and now this weakness was finally addressed.

After drawing the skill, Feeney couldn't wait to test it. Soaring Skill wasn't a dangerous skill, so even though his body was exhausted, he couldn't resist testing it immediately.

Without even planning to leave the room, Feeney began to use the skill inside.

In the bedroom, as the skill was activated, Feeney's body slowly floated up. Any movement he made barely affected his levitation.

The unprecedented experience filled him with novelty. Moreover, Soaring Skill was even more powerful than he had imagined, as it consumed almost no energy.

There's a special energy in Dragon Ball called 'Ki'. The Crane School's Soaring Skill relies on the user's manipulation of Ki to overcome gravity's restrictions and move freely in the air.

Feeney hadn't cultivated Ki, but his Soaring Skill was a system skill. Perhaps due to the system, he was utilizing the free Ki, or rather, energy, in the surrounding space, which is why there was no consumption.

This also meant that as long as he wasn't in a place devoid of any energy, he could fly freely using Soaring Skill.

The only pity was that he could only use this power for Soaring Skill and couldn't unleash a Kamehameha like Goku.

Children's Day was not happy at all. It's been a whole day, and the collection hasn't increased much, with not a single tip received. What about votes? I'm not asking for tips anymore, just some votes, is that okay! (╥﹏╥)
