"Elder Qi, what do you make of this?"
The Red-Armored Strongman, Chen Feng, turned to look at the Green-Robed Elder beside him.
The elder's gaze was deep and contemplative.
"Tier 7..."
"Wind magic, Raging Waves Thousand Gales Breaker...!"
"Hmm, something's wrong. Based on the current density of wind elements, the caster must have cast more than one Tier 7 spell...!"
Qi Guoguang, Vice President of the Tianhai City Professional Alliance.
A true Seventh Turn powerhouse.
And like Lin Yi, he was also a mage.
As the saying goes, amateurs watch the spectacle, but professionals know the trick.
The moment he stepped into the Land of Silence, Qi Guoguang noticed the intense residual magic fluctuations there.
He even deduced that someone had consecutively cast three Tier 7 Wind Spells in this area.
"Hmm...?"
"Something's wrong!"
"There are also residual Fire Element magic fluctuations!"
"It's... Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath!"
The next moment, Qi Guoguang's eyes widened slightly.
He sensed the fluctuation of another element.
And the level of that fluctuation...
Was also Tier 7!!
That meant, before those three Wind Element Tier 7 spells, there was also a trace of a Tier 7 Fire Magic attack!
A faint green light shimmered in Qi Guoguang's eyes.
He pulled a staff from his Inventory Space, its tip embedded with an Emerald Precious Mana Crystal.
The next moment, he waved the staff.
"Scatter."
A single word slipped from his lips.
Then.
The fierce wind enveloping the entire Land of Silence instantly ceased.
The thick clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
Sunlight poured down.
Chen Feng, standing nearby, was stunned.
That gesture of dispersing the storm with a wave—pretty flashy.
Damn it!
Mage Lords are just this cool!
Even though Chen Feng was much younger than Qi Guoguang, he still envied such godlike control over wind and rain.
In comparison, his warrior class skills were far more simple and crude...
That's also why most people called warrior-class fighters "Warring Hangs,"
while mage-class fighters were called "Mage Lords"...
Because mages really were cool!
Dispelling the storm wasn't actually that hard for Qi Guoguang.
As luck would have it, he was a mage specializing in Wind Magic.
His current Skill Points were focused entirely on Wind Magic.
Moreover, his systematic research into magic fluctuations and magic composition was far deeper than Lin Yi's—a kid who only knew how to cast high-tier spells instantly without understanding the principles behind them.
The clouds parted, the storm stopped.
But the sight on the surface of the Land of Silence still made Chen Feng gasp.
The entire ground of the Land of Silence had been stripped of one to two meters of earth by the violent winds!
The exposed ground was covered in countless dense, chaotic, deep ravines!
These ravines looked as if they had been slashed by some incredibly sharp blade or sword.
However, such an extremely widespread distribution with no discernible pattern of blade strikes absolutely could not have been carved out by a Warrior Class professional who had turned into a Swordsman.
Those were the traces left by violent Wind Blades, deeply plowed into the ground!
Beyond that, Chen Feng also saw a scorched zone about ten kilometers wide and several hundred kilometers long!
He hardly dared to imagine what had happened here before.
"Elder Qi, there seem to be others down below!"
A Sixth-Turn Professional's eyesight was excellent.
Even from the sky, Chen Feng keenly spotted groups of professionals lying scattered on the ground.
A faint blue magical glow flickered, and the next moment, Qi Guoguang's figure vanished in an instant.
Chen Feng was stunned.
He then saw that figure appear beside the group of professionals on the ground.
A common Mage skill: Blink.
Chen Feng was speechless again.
Mage Lords had way too many of these handy skills for showing off without effort!
So envious!
He could only channel the Battle Qi within him and hurriedly fly down.
Chen Feng landed beside one professional, extended a finger, and checked for breath.
With surprise on his face, he said, "This person is still alive!"
"How did they survive..."
Chen Feng marveled at the tenacity of this professional's Life Force.
Based on Qi Guoguang's earlier analysis, Three seventh-tier Wind Magic spells.
One seventh-tier Fire Magic spell.
Even the entire leveling area had been turned into this mess.
For this person to still be alive was truly absurd.
A look of shock appeared on Qi Guoguang's face as he slowly spoke, "It's not just this one. Everyone lying here is alive—just unconscious."
Chen Feng was astonished.
Huh?
All alive?
"Huh? Elder Qi, after four seventh-tier spells, how did they survive!?"
A deep curiosity and admiration also crept into Qi Guoguang's eyes.
"Incredibly terrifying magical control."
Chen Feng heard this
and was a bit confused.
Qi Guoguang continued to explain, "If I were to release a seventh-tier Wind Magic spell right now, I could also ensure these professionals wouldn't die or even get hurt."
"But the person who came here before and dealt with that Necromancer Knight—their mastery of Fire Magic rivals mine, and their control is no less than their Wind Magic."
"They are at least a dual-cultivating Seventh-Turn Archmage."
After Qi Guoguang finished speaking, he fell into thought.
He was clearly searching his mind for anyone in all of Great Xia who cultivated both Fire and Wind Magic and had reached tier seven or above in both.
Such a figure was undoubtedly rare across all of Great Xia!
Yet he couldn't match anyone fitting that description.
Hmm, was his network not broad enough?
He might need to return to the Pantheon and ask a few stewards for information.
Perhaps this person was one of the stewards in the Pantheon...
Qi Guoguang actually felt a bit envious.
Though he was a Wind Archmage, the kind revered by tens of thousands, he could only pursue the pinnacle of Wind Magic in this lifetime.
He felt both admiration and envy toward those who could cultivate in two disciplines.
Without a doubt, dual cultivation required far more effort than his own single-path focus.
Qi Guoguang closed his eyes.
Silently, he sensed the residual magical fluctuations left behind by Lin Yi's four spellcasts.
Soon, he extracted the Magic Imprint with meticulous precision.
What was called a Magic Imprint was akin to a personal signature.
Every person who cast a spell had their own unique traits and details.
These details and characteristics, taken together, formed a person's Magic Imprint.
By comparing Magic Imprints, it became easier to locate the mage themselves.
Qi Guoguang committed this special Magic Imprint to memory, then opened his eyes and spoke:
"First, head to Canglan and inform them of the situation here."
"That way, you can also report back."
Chen Feng nodded.
In truth, he was the one entrusted with this urgent mission today.
Qi Guoguang had a close relationship with Chen Feng's father, and his father, uneasy about letting him come alone, had requested the assistance of this Seventh Turn Archmage.
The two paid no further attention to the Class Users. Since these people weren't dead, they would likely all awaken soon.
As for cleanup, that was certainly Canglan City's own responsibility.
They had only come to handle the crisis.
Now that the crisis had been resolved by someone else, they simply needed to go through the motions and show that they had indeed arrived.
