"Really?"

Seeing the smile on Li Wei’s face, a trace of doubt flashed through Anthony’s mind.

’Does this guy not understand that this is a threat?’

When he realized this, a wave of anger surged within him.

Anthony looked at Li Wei with cold eyes. "Heh, I hope you can keep up that tough act until the end."

He took two steps back and said, "Just fighting is boring. Why don’t we bet something on this?"

Li Wei looked surprised. "Bet what?"

Anthony chuckled. "Let’s bet that if you lose, you’ll have to kneel and kowtow every time you see me."

Li Wei chuckled.

"You really think highly of yourself, don’t you!"

"Fine. If you lose, you give me five hundred gold coins."

Hearing this, Paphit glared at Li Wei. "Hilarious! You actually think you can win?"

Anthony said with a smile, "No problem."

"It’s just five hundred gold coins. If you honor the bet after you lose, what’s to stop me from giving you the money anyway?"

He just wanted to humiliate Li Wei.

He wanted to teach Li Wei a lesson for not taking him seriously.

Li Wei stood up. "You put up the five hundred gold coins first. Otherwise, what if you lose and can’t pay?"

Paphit sneered. "Then why don’t you get on your knees and kowtow first, to show you’re not a sore loser?"

Anthony gave Paphit a satisfied look. ’He put that well.’

Anthony took out a money pouch and casually tossed it onto the lectern.

THUD!

The heavy sound of the pouch landing proved it was full of coins.

Seeing this, Li Wei said, "Well then, I’ll be happy to accept it."

A black shadow appeared behind Anthony, a dark Shadow Claw poised at his neck.

Paphit’s expression turned to shock when he saw this.

"Watch your back!"

Anthony looked at Li Wei calmly. "I didn’t expect you to have Summoned Creatures."

"Unfortunately, these little tricks are useless against me."

The Shadow Claw swiped across Anthony’s neck.

POOF!

Anthony’s figure shattered into a watery mirage and vanished.

It was just a water illusion.

His real body was hidden elsewhere.

Li Wei wasn’t surprised.

The Shadow Attendant’s attacks on enemies weren’t restricted by the Ring of Arrogance.

He had the Shadow Attendant strike to force Anthony to attack him first.

Otherwise, if he let Anthony slowly finish Casting a powerful spell, Li Wei would be put on the defensive.

"Tier Two Water Magic! Flood of Jinshan!"

SPLASH!

A massive amount of water suddenly appeared in the classroom, flooding the entire space and threatening to turn it into a sealed water tank.

Paphit hurriedly began Casting.

"Quicksand Skill!"

Instantly, the water became incredibly murky, making it impossible to see.

The figures of Anthony and Paphit disappeared.

A wave crashed down toward Li Wei.

BANG!

Li Wei’s body was sent tumbling by the chaotic currents.

His Invisible Armor materialized, blocking the assault of the water and quicksand.

The weakening effect of the Ring of Arrogance vanished.

Li Wei’s eyes narrowed.

He was just about to start Casting.

Suddenly, a rapidly spinning vortex appeared in the water, forcefully dragging him in.

Li Wei felt like he’d been thrown into a washing machine.

He was tossed around and around until he felt like his brains were being scrambled.

In his haste, he only had time to launch a single Fireball.

BANG!

The explosion even caught Li Wei himself, the fiery light flashing and then vanishing in the water.

The rapidly spinning vortex was also affected by the explosion, becoming disordered and losing some of its Power.

Li Wei managed to snatch a brief moment of respite in the water.

He glanced around and understood that he had to get rid of the water in the classroom.

Otherwise, he would sooner or later drown.

Li Wei felt a little helpless.

If he knew the Underwater Breathing Technique, he wouldn’t have to worry about suffocating.

As it was, he only had the air stored within his Invisible Armor.

At most, it would only last him a few minutes.

He didn’t have much time.

Anthony had learned from Paphit that Li Wei’s Magic was absurdly powerful.

Therefore, he had no intention of clashing with Li Wei head-on from the start.

A Mage’s greatest strength is their ability to adapt.

They can kill an enemy even without using Attack Magic.

Anthony had devised this plan of flooding the classroom to force Li Wei to submit and admit defeat.

Li Wei seized the brief respite to cast his Magic.

Tier Two Fire Element Magic!

Fire Resistance Ring!

The Realm of Perfection in Tier Two Fire Element Magic.

Even without ever having learned the Fire Resistance Ring, just by knowing its effects, Li Wei could deduce the Magic Model for it himself.

And so, he could naturally cast the Fire Resistance Ring.

WHOOSH!

The Fire Resistance Ring rapidly expanded in all directions.

The desks and chairs that had been sent flying by the waves were pushed away by the ring.

The water surrounding Li Wei was also pushed back.

Li Wei landed on the floor.

The Invisible Armor on his body turned red.

Crimson Lotus Armor!

The Crimson Lotus Armor radiated intense heat, evaporating the surrounding water into steam.

This was a clash of water and fire.

The temperature inside the classroom was rising rapidly.

The water tank was quickly turning into a hot soup.

The soup, heated, constantly expanded.

The classroom, enclosed by the Magic Barrier, was becoming a giant pressure cooker.

The pressure and temperature inside continued to rise under the scorching heat of Li Wei’s flames.

Anthony and Paphit sensed that things were not looking good.

Paphit’s eyes narrowed, and he began Casting.

"Sand Condensation Cone!"

The yellow sand that hadn’t been burned by the flames gathered into sharp spikes and shot toward Li Wei.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sand-condensed spikes collided with the Invisible Armor, shattering on impact.

Paphit’s face showed his shock.

"What the hell is that thing?"

He couldn’t see the Invisible Armor on Li Wei.

He could only see a mass of flames burning around Li Wei.

A ball of fire had blocked his attack.

It took him completely by surprise.

Anthony began chanting in a low voice.

Li Wei felt an astonishing Magic Fluctuation build within the classroom.

Anthony was Casting a Tier Three Magic spell.

He was using Magic Materials along with his chanting to cast a spell beyond his tier.

Tier Three Water Magic!

High-Pressure Water Cannon!

BANG!

The remaining water in the classroom gathered into a high-temperature, high-pressure water cannon that shot toward Li Wei.

With a loud BANG, Li Wei was sent flying.

The High-Pressure Water Cannon pinned him against the Magic Barrier, its immense Power continuously battering his Invisible Armor.

CRACK!

After enduring the continuous, powerful assault, one layer of the Invisible Armor shattered.

Anthony heard the sound of a Magic Shield breaking and a smile appeared on his face.

The next second, his smile vanished.

One layer of Li Wei’s Magic Shield had shattered.

There were still... thirty-five layers left.

Li Wei still hadn’t used his full strength.

He was trying his best to act like a Tier Two Mage.

And against Anthony, he didn’t need to use his full strength anyway.

Second Level Spell!

Chain Fireball Technique!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As soon as the High-Pressure Water Cannon’s attack ended, Li Wei immediately launched a counterattack.

Fireball after Fireball shot toward Anthony and Paphit.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Fireballs hit the sand barrier and exploded.

One Fireball cracked the sand barrier.

Two Fireballs blasted a hole in it.

Three Fireballs shattered it completely.

Paphit’s face filled with alarm.

"Water Curtain!"

Anthony cast a Defense Magic.

A Water Curtain appeared in front of them, blocking the Chain Fireball Technique.

But the number of Fireballs from the Chain Fireball Technique far exceeded their understanding.

A normal Chain Fireball Technique was a five-shot or seven-shot burst.

A skilled Mage could manage a ten-shot burst.

But in Li Wei’s hands, the Chain Fireballs seemed endless.
