Slaughter and Harvest

Anna had already decided this guy was insane, actually coming to block her at her door.

He must have found out that Moxi had invited him to join, only for her to oppose it.

"Wang Ya-Harak, every choice comes with its due price. From the moment you chose not to attend the Freshman Party, you were destined to lose this opportunity. It cannot be changed."

Anna came to her senses as well. What was she even afraid of? He was nothing more than a Freshman with poor aptitude. When it came to particle energy radiation enhancement, how could he possibly compare to her?

Her strength was enough to crush him with ease.

"People should know their place. I'm in a good mood today and don't feel like arguing with you. Move out of the way."

Seeing that he still gave no answer and merely walked toward her, his hands hanging naturally at his sides and his gaze utterly indifferent,

anger rose in Anna's eyes. Had this foolish bastard truly gone mad?

The particle energy within her body became active. The powerful physique brought by Benign Radiation allowed Anna to punch through a wall.

Her face turned cold as the muscles throughout her body tensed, and she kicked straight at Wang Ya's chest. That kick was enough to burst open an adult's ribcage.

Idiot, he wasn't even dodging.

Anna's contempt deepened, but the force behind her kick did not lessen in the slightest.

As long as she didn't kill him, it would be fine!

This kick would teach the bastard a painful lesson.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Dazzling crimson light reflected in Anna's pupils. It illuminated her fair cheeks, revealing an expression of ghostly terror. Her face had gone utterly pale.

Powerful fire elemental particle energy moved in activation at a unique frequency, spreading around Wang Ya's body and forming a sealed shield. Rippling Energy Fluctuations, the unique Energy Radiation of wizardry, spread outward.

The searing heat even turned the grass and trees on either side of Wang Ya yellow and withered, drawing all moisture from them.

Wizardry—Fire Elemental Particle Energy Shield

And Anna's right foot of flesh and blood struck the very center of that Energy Shield.

"Impossible!"

She let out a shriek of disbelief.

Wang Ya-Harak had actually cast wizardry—a genuine Elemental Energy Wizardry.

Wasn't this piece of trash incapable of even mastering Supernatural Nurturing wizardry?

Was this some kind of joke? Had he been hiding his strength all along?

Anna fell into unprecedented panic. "No, spare me, Wang Ya! I didn't mean it! Spare me!"

She knew how terrifying wizardry was. How could a body of flesh resist it?

She would die!

"Have mercy, for the sake of us both being Freshmen from the same Wizard Ship."

Wang Ya's eyes did not ripple in the slightest.

"I curse you! Damn you, you won't die well either! It hurts! Moxi, save me!" The scorching heat engulfed her. She tried to flee, but it was already too late. The instant her right foot made contact, her clothes turned to flying ash. Her fair jade foot was scorched by the extreme heat, as though all its moisture had been drained away. Its flesh turned charred yellow and withered, then became black charcoal like rotten wood.

"No, I refuse to accept this. I haven't become a wizard yet. I haven't achieved my goal."

Her mouth hung open. Once the pain reached a certain point, she could no longer scream. There was only soundless hoarseness, her body struggling and her hands flailing.

Yet no matter what she did, she could no longer stop the flames from spreading. They climbed from her right foot to every inch of her body. The beautiful young girl's body became scorched yellow pus in the blaze, a reaction of dried matter. Her fiery red hair seemed to burn in the flames. Using a body of flesh and blood to contend with wizardry, even Low-level Wizardry, was still folly.

Wang Ya stepped indifferently over the body that had turned to charcoal. He took the Parchment Scroll list from his pocket and used a small pen to cross out one of the names.

He looked back at the charcoal on the ground. Its humanoid shape had its hands raised and its mouth wide open, as if trying to seize a hope of life.

But just as with her initial choice, once a choice was made, one had to bear its price. If she could not bear it, then she had to accept the consequences it brought.

His brow furrowed slightly. He had thought that since this woman had been associating with those Wizard Family people, she would at least have some trump card on her. Yet she had not even left behind a single Magic Stone.

That shouldn't have been the case. He had heard that this woman had helped with quite a few matters. No matter what, she should have had something of value on her.

To be safe, Wang Ya had deliberately used wizardry.

The result left him deeply disappointed.

Shaking his head, he headed toward the location of the next target on the list.

Inside the Freshman Residence.

"Number Two Killer is dead." Cardi The Purple Gold Flower looked at Moxi, a trace of dark light rippling in his eyes. His very first words caused Moxi's expression to change drastically.

Shock covered his face. "Number Two Killer is dead? How could he have died? Who killed him? Even among First-level Wizard Apprentices, he was considered powerful."

The consequences were extremely serious.

Moxi even felt a chill crawl down his spine. There definitely should not have been any Newborn Wizard capable of doing that. Could it have been one of the wizard lords who made a move?

Impossible. Wizard Yis and the others had gone to the handover point to collect the Supernatural Resources allocated by The Umbral Expanse. Wizard Longtu was among them as well, so there could be no mistake. Wizard Gandhi had even gone to the Bailin Family yesterday to explain the relevant plans and arrangements. Everything should have been foolproof.

But why had it turned out like this?

How exactly had Number Two Killer died?

Cardi The Purple Gold Flower said, "The plan did not go wrong. An unforeseen variable appeared."

"A variable!" Moxi's eyes flickered.

"That island native Wizard Freshman Wizard Gandhi warned us to watch out for—the one called Wang Ya-Harak—may have been hiding his strength."

"He killed Number Two Killer?" Moxi was startled. "That stupid woman shouldn't have lied to me. Then this guy has hidden himself very deeply."

With a meaningful look in his eyes, Cardi said, "It is more than that. I suspect he may have encountered some kind of opportunity. There is no reason why, among Wizard Freshmen who all came from the Island Continent, his Wizard Aptitude is not good, yet he can do things none of the others can."

"Interesting. He hid his strength, and now it has been exposed." Stroking his chin, Moxi said playfully, "The unknown is the most terrifying thing, but once it is known, there is a way to deal with it."

"He could kill Number Two Killer, yet he still stayed at Ancient Forest Mountain. That means he has not fully mastered a wizardry spell and used some other method."

Moxi smiled knowingly. "No wonder you think this island native obtained some kind of opportunity and needed to hide himself away."

"Send Number One Killer. But to be safe..." Moxi revealed the White Bracelet on his wrist. Injecting particle energy into it, he took several items from the Storage Wizard Artifact.

"These two Wizardry Scrolls, and the wizard artifact Mask of Lingering Dreams, which can temporarily transform one's appearance into someone else's and conceal one's aura. With Wizard Yis personally coming to his door, Wang Ya-Harak's expression should be quite spectacular."

"That is indeed a good idea!" Cardi laughed as well, reaching out to accept the strange mask that seemed to be made of wood. It was covered in colorful markings like a child's scribbles.

Just as his other hand reached for the Wizardry Scrolls, Moxi suddenly seized the Parchment Scroll that carried the wizardry. An immense Chill of Malice and terror rose in his heart.

Moxi cried out in horror, "You are not Cardi The Purple Gold Flower!"
