Chapter 166: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning (12)

It was obvious that the two of them were still teenagers and still at the age where they were extremely energetic and lively.

Instead of adults who had to cover up their real feelings and put on a mask all the time, they were still mostly their genuine self.

And this is the privilege that only children could have.

Because it would be difficult for adults to survive in the future if they didn’t learn how to put on a mask and ended up offending countless people.

They went to the practice ground and the other people from other classes have also arrived. Everyone went to their respective team in order to discuss the graduation exams.

It was absolutely impossible for them not to practice hard in order to pass the exam.

If Xiang Kui was not wrong, there were more than 200 students who will participate in the graduation exams each year.

After all, this is a big city.

There would be a lot of students each year who will become magicians.

Of course, there were also schools dedicated for those who will pursue ordinary life paths because they couldn’t become magicians. Not everyone has the talent of magicians and this word talent alone had already separated ordinary people and magicians.

’Many of them will not be able to survive in a few days.’

Xiang Kui glanced around and then retracted her gaze once more.

Shang Kui had no close relationship with these students and it was absolutely impossible for her to risk her life in order to save them.

Besides...

Hadn’t Shang Kui tried to save people in her previous life?

But what followed was nothing more than Shang Xiyue taking the credit for what she had done and pushed Shang Kui further down into utter despairs.

Xiang Kui’s eyes glinted with malice when she thought about this.

If someone had dared to scheme against her in this way in her real life, she would make sure that this person would die without corpse intact.

After taking a deep breath, Xiang Kui calmed down instantly.

"Come here." Duan Rong Yu pointed to one side of the training ground. "Let me see your ability, Shang Kui."

Xiang Kui nodded and readied her stance in front of Duan Rong Yu. Several knives had appeared on her hand at some point of time.

Duan Rong Yu saw that and he nodded secretly to himself.

At least, the preparation time was good enough.

Jun Lin stayed on the back, watching the two of them on the scene with his arms crossed. Both Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin had never sparred against Shang Kui before in the past. The main reason was because she was too weak and the teacher was worried that neither Duan Rong Yu nor Jun Lin could hold back, causing her to be heavily injured in the end.

It was this consideration that made them unable to gauge each other’s strength easily.

"Fire wall." Duan Rong Yu smiled and then spread his hand, forming a wall of fire to protect him.

This protection was negligible, but it was something that the Duan Family used most of the time. Because as long as the fire circle existed, they could control the temperature and attack their enemies with it.

It was a perfect counterattack circle for the Duan Family.

And they were proud of it.

Xiang Kui saw it and her mental strength fluctuated, spreading instantly to see through the situation. When she saw the use of mental strength from Duan Rong Yu, her lips twitched slightly.

He was using his mental strength to move the wind and fire around him.

This will allow Duan Rong Yu to create a ’shadow,’ a kind of deception that he could use to trick his opponent.

Hmm, it’s a good tactic.

Provided that he was not facing the Shang Family. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The flying knives in Xiang Kui’s hand flew towards the designated location and she directly made sure that it would cut off all Duan Rong Yu’s retreat direction.

Duan Rong Yu’s eyes lit up.

Swoosh!

Using wind to forcefully deflect the knife, Duan Rong Yu looked at Shang Kui with great interest but before he could speak further, he saw that there were already rain of flying knives heading in his direction.

Duan Rong Yu: "..."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Xiang Kui moved quickly, picking up the flying knives that were deflected by Duan Rong Yu and used her other flying knives to knock it back in Duan Rong Yu’s direction. This was the unique skill from the Shang Family.

They were able to control their flying weapon through the use of other flying weapons.

Since they could ’see’ everything clearly within a certain domain, this moves of them had become their signature moves.

Of course, how far they could see depends on their own mental strength’s ability.

With time, they would grow stronger.

But in fact, in the entire Shang Family, no one was stronger than Shang Kui in terms of pure mental strength alone.

This included her own father who should have his mental strength increased rapidly because of various reasons and his own training in the past.

It was only Shang Kui’s own inability to use this ability that made people feel frustrated when they talked about her. Or rather, it was her father who was frustrated because other people didn’t seem to care that much about this.

Whether the Shang Family prosper or fell into ruins, many people didn’t care in the slightest bit.

Swish! Swish!

But even though Xiang Kui sealed off Duan Rong Yu’s route, he was still able to forcefully withstood it as he erected metal shield all around him before turning it back to launch attack in Shang Kui’s direction.

Swish! Swish!

Xiang Kui raised her head and nimbly dodged these metal spears that Duan Rong Yu threw out, not missing even a single one.

Even though her attacking ability was not very good, Shang Kui’s survival ability was actually quite strong.

After all, she had long wanted to prove herself to her father.
