The man in the trench coat's expression darkened completely.
He had lived for so long, yet he had never suffered such humiliation!
This "newcomer" sorcerer actually treated him like a practice dummy. He had gone too far!
"You're courting death!"
The man in the trench coat growled, clapping his hands together as an even greater surge of cursed energy erupted from his body.
The ground began to tremble, and the gymnasium's glass windows shattered one after another under the impact of the cursed energy.
"I admit you have some skill, but this ends here. This farce should be over!"
"The one who wins this battle will be me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the trench coat vanished from where he stood.
A trace of surprise flashed through Jie Jian's eyes. Within his Electromagnetic Sensing, the other man's presence suddenly became erratic, appearing on the left one moment and the right the next.
Some kind of speed-based ability?
Jie Jian muttered inwardly as he scanned his surroundings for the man's whereabouts.
The next instant, the man in the trench coat appeared behind Jie Jian, his right hand wrapped in cursed energy as he struck at Jie Jian's back.
Since ordinary attacks could not hit him, he would close in. The man in the trench coat wanted to see how Jie Jian would deflect this!
Yet Jie Jian did not even turn his head. He merely shifted slightly aside, letting the sneak attack graze past the hem of his clothes.
"Nani?!" The man in the trench coat stared at Jie Jian in disbelief.
He could not understand how Jie Jian had reacted to his speed.
At the same time, Jie Jian's right hand precisely seized the man's wrist.
"Can't we keep playing dodgeball? Why did you come closer?"
