129 Masterstroke

Ixialia other places.

In most cases, Jayce's ideas were not problematic. Even among the traditional mages of Runeterra, there were pure academic mages.

While this type of mage is equally powerful, their lack of practical experience leads them to focus more on theoretical research.

But Ixialia was different.

For over three thousand years, Ixialia in isolation from the world. Due to his unique promotion mechanism, Ixialia was constantly engaged in self-reflection and internal reform.

Because the sacred relic of Ixialia, the "Vidalion Loom," treats everyone in Ixialia equally.

If you don't have enough qualifications, strength, and mental fortitude, then even if you are born a nobleman, you still cannot become a powerful Yuentar, let alone have your own classroom.

In this context, all the Ixialia students relentlessly studied the Yuan Chu Axiom, from ideas and theories to practice. Despite the lack of communication, the Ixialia scholars painstakingly constructed a logical framework with practical significance.

If outsiders cultivate their skills through a rigorous apprenticeship system, then the apprentices of Ixialia undergo a frenzied, closed-off competition. And the victors in this constant infighting are the Yuentar—

He is the "Scroll King," whose strength, knowledge, theories, logic, and psychological resilience far surpass those of ordinary people.

Level seven, in Yuan Chen's ranking system, represents a human mage and the pinnacle for most creatures. Above that, one either receives a special power inheritance, such as runes, Aspects, or ascension.

As for Yuentar, the vast majority of them are at least level six, around level seven.

The reason it is said to be the vast majority is because there are scholars like Milio and Qiyana who have mastered multiple elements and made significant theoretical innovations on the original basis. There are pure theoretical scholars in Yuentar, but they are few in number.

If Yuan Chen remembers correctly, there are about forty Yuentar in the entire Ixialia, but even including Milio and Qiyana, those who became Yuentar solely through theoretical innovation are fewer than a handful.

In this situation, upon hearing Jayce's words, Yuan Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances at this future guardian who knew nothing about Ixialia.

"You probably don't know, but these scholars, who are practically defenseless, could each twist your head off..."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, the Piltover scholars who had rushed to the scene were also taken aback. Then, one of the bespectacled acousticians said somewhat uncertainly:

"But war and conflict are ultimately bad. Perhaps we should try negotiating instead..."

"No need, let us do it, haha!"

Upon hearing the acoustician's words, Master Odh was standing nearby, laughed heartily and then patted his chest, saying:

"I've always wanted to demonstrate my strength, but Master Yuan Chen always felt that showing off our power would alienate Ixialia from the outside world... I can understand Master Yuan Chen's thinking, but in Yuentar, there are no cowards who dare to fight!!"

As he spoke, Master Odh clenched his fists tightly, and fine flames spread along the lines of his palms to his entire arm. His eyebrows blazed with fire, and the blood vessels in his body seemed to surge with molten lava.

Located on the body's surface, arcs outlined beautiful geometric shapes. Beneath the secant line, scorching magic permeated every corner of the body, even the hair turned a blazing white, instantly evaporating the molten iron.

He exhaled a heavy breath, and the intense magic formed an arc, creating fleeting geometric lines within the exhaled breath.

The intense heat swept outwards, and Master Odh, who was just a moment ago no different from an ordinary person except for being slightly stronger and taller, now looked like a furnace of red-hot iron.

"I am Odh Furnace, a blacksmith from the border town of Ixialia, New Angda County. My promotion to Yuentar is due to the compatibility of the Fire Axiom with the energy form of elemental life forms."

"Indigenous? Ridiculous! We come from the center of the world!!!"

With a disgruntled growl, Master Odh reached out and grabbed the railing on one side of the bridge. The railing, made of a special alloy, melted instantly upon contact. He hurled it like a sandbag, and a torrential downpour of flames erupted in his hand.

Boom boom boom!!

The attack came too swiftly; before the soldiers of the Grey Legion could prepare adequately, the scorching lava was poured directly onto them like a heavy punch.

Under the intense heat, the plate armor that Noxus was so proud of was burned through, and the stench of burnt flesh and cloth instantly filled the entire bridge.

Even at such high temperatures that could melt Hextech alloy with the slightest contact, Odh was still able to control his strength as if it were his own arm to ensure that the gate bridge beneath his feet would not melt and collapse due to heat radiation!

Realizing something was wrong, Falis immediately waved the scarlet cloak behind her to cover her body.

The moment it waved, the scarlet cloak billowed in the wind, not only covering its body but also engulfing the subsequent rain of fire, leaving only a stench of burning flesh.

Upon seeing the cloak hanging in mid-air like a river of blood, Yuan Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.

As expected of the Crimson Circle's official power in Noxus, this seemingly ordinary cloak is actually an Epic Quality blood Magic Item.

The item is good; it has extremely strong resistance to elemental magic. Under normal circumstances, when both sides are of similar skill level, the cloak's elemental resistance can even allow one person to fight two opponents.

However, the problem is... Noxus clearly underestimated the number of people participating in Ixialia's visit this time. Not to mention the more than three hundred third to fourth-rank Road Protector came along for the exchange, there were nearly ten Elemental Master alone!

With her hands clasped together, a gentle breeze rippled around Master Tina. The breeze was not strong, but rather exceptionally gentle, feeling like the hands of a lover.

But this was only what Jayce and the others felt. Because when the wind fell on the soldiers of the Grey Legion, they could clearly feel that, along with the breeze, some indistinguishable substance was constantly flowing into their bodies through their pores.

The next moment, someone clutched their mouth, writhing in agony with a purplish-red face. Their mouth was wide open, but they could only make groaning sounds.

A large amount of air enters the venous system through fine airflow, forming an embolism. As the blood circulates, some of the embolism reaches the lungs, and some reaches the right heart. While obstructing breathing, the air and blood form foam, preventing the heart from pumping air out and causing circulatory failure.

Unlike the blazing flames, Tina, who cultivates the Wind Axiom, Atmosphere Axiom, and Floating Axiom, is much younger than Master Odh. In addition, due to her personality, she does not like to cause too much bloodshed in battle.

Meanwhile, Slink, the ice Elemental Master who was born with a proud temperament, simply raised his hands, and thick white mist instantly rose from the ocean on both sides of the sluice gate.

As the moisture in the air increased dramatically, its hands moved inward, causing the temperature of the water vapor to drop sharply, forming a thin layer of frost on the person sitting down.

As the frost formed, the soldiers, unaware of what was happening, clearly felt their body temperature rapidly decreasing.

It wasn't simply hypothermia; rather, it was a more brutal process where water vapor and frost directly carried away the heat from their bodies. In just a moment, their blood congealed, their muscles froze, and lifelike ice sculptures instantly took shape.

Under Slink's smug gaze, the Human Form ice sculpture, having lost its flexibility, broke at the knees due to its structure, exploding into ice shards scattered all over the ground.

The sluice gate bridge seems to have become a testing ground for the masters.

The Atmosphere Axiom, which can create atmospheric cavities that cause oxygen intoxication, hypoxia, suffocation, and many other conditions, have enveloped the heads of one Noxus soldier after another.

According to the axiom of magnetism, the sturdy plate armor became a cage for the Human Form. Before they could break free, the plate armor contracted inward, crushing their bodies into a sticky bloody mess.

The axiom of Heavy Pressure: a heavy force is applied to each individual, accompanied by a surge in intracavitary pressure, causing the trachea, blood vessels, organs, and pituitary gland to rupture and be damaged simultaneously.

Although the surface remained intact, the wide-open eyes were bloodshot, and strands of dark red blood seeped out from the pores.

Raising an arm, accompanied by the Wheel of Axioms swirling around Tina, the scale of axioms spread out in the surrounding atmosphere.

In an instant, the corpses scattered all over the ground seemed to lose their gravity, rising into the air under the axiom of Floating Axiom, and then falling to the sea on both sides of the sluice bridge.

Scattered corpses landed on merchant ships moored on the shore, eliciting terrified screams, but this did not attract the attention of the people on the bridge... Compared to the corpses falling from the sky, the scene on the bridge was much more exciting.

Within the Crimson Curtain of epic quality, Falis was barely able to maintain her safety. Although the curtain seemed to completely conceal Falis could still clearly perceive what was happening in the outside world.

Now, she could clearly feel that the battle-hardened, elite soldiers beside her, all honed on the front lines, were disappearing at an alarming rate.

In fact, many masters cast Spellcasting with the intention of killing their opponent for the first time.

But the impact of that level... was far less than the shock they felt when they first saw the Outside World from within the Vidalion Loom.

Compared to the direct impact of Worldview collapsing, this level of shock is...
