Eight into Four

Just as the green-robed female wizard from the Water Palace had said, the young wizard relied on an exceptionally rare set of ice-element magical artifacts.

This magical artifact set did not look much like it came from the Ring of Law, yet it was exceptionally compatible with the inherited spell system, raising his combat power to an unimaginable height in an instant.

That in itself was nothing unusual. The two core inheritance schools of the Ring of Law required wizards to reach the Third Circle before they could officially access them. Many First- and Second-Circle wizards had their own unique combat systems.

This was also one major reason why the Ring of Law was weak when facing outside forces—the threshold for its core inheritances was too high. Even if they recruited young wizards with decent talent, they still had to spend enormous amounts of time and effort nurturing them to the Third Circle before they could truly possess their own core competitiveness.

At the First and Second Circles, relying solely on a rune magic seal inheritance was manageable against ordinary wizard factions. But compared to elite geniuses from the other top forces of the south, they fell far behind.

Through the battle replay, Karos found no fewer than five Second-Ring Magical Artifacts on the youth, even including mirror-element spell mediums.

It was a number enough to leave anyone dumbfounded. No one at the Second Circle possessed such abundant resources—not even Caroni had possessed so much back when he was at the Second Circle.

Although magical artifacts and equipment were also part of one's strength, this number was simply too outrageous.

Of course, the youth himself was outstanding enough as well.

Though he was only at the Early Second Circle, he could simultaneously control the use of so many magical artifacts
