Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Inheriting Two C-Class Rules! Zhang Xian’s Challenge!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Bai Ze, although the rules you’ve chosen are advanced, they’re too difficult to master, and you can’t be too greedy.”

“It so happens that I’ve found two scrolls on basic magic. They’re D-class and E-class, so they’re very suitable for you to practice.”

In the face of Teacher Fang Yu’s recommendation, Bai Ze immediately refused and said solemnly, “Ms. Fang, it’s not easy for me to come to the Manuscript Library, so naturally, I have to choose the more challenging books. I’ll just take these two books. Please help me register them, and I’ll go and copy them.”

After that, Bai Ze carried the two books to the table in the corner of the Manuscript Library and began to grind ink to copy them.

Putting the parchment with the Ice Crystal Armor beside him, Bai Ze patiently copied it.

After a short while, he felt the temperature around him drop, and some kind of energy seemed to have appeared in his body.

[System message: C-class Ice Crystal Armor has sensed the power of extreme cold from the Icicle Technique. Its cultivation progress has greatly increased and has broken through to the Fluent level!]

Upon hearing the system prompt, Bai Ze’s confidence grew stronger.

After copying the control method for the Ice Crystal Armor, he immediately started copying Storm Thunder Flash without stopping!

[System message: Storm Thunder Flash has been stimulated and has entered the Beginner’s level. Due to the lack of actual combat practice targets, the automatic cultivation progress has been halted.]

Feeling the power of storm and thunder roiling inside his body, a trace of excitement flashed across Bai Ze’s face.

Now that he had learned two C-class rules, his overall ability had greatly improved. In terms of actual combat ability, he might have already reached the level of a second ring mage.

It was only because he had yet to condense even one magic ring that he was unable to unleash all of his abilities.

However, being able to reach the Fluent level and Beginner’s level in such a short period had already given Bai Ze a lot of surprises.

Now that he had successfully inherited them, these books could be returned to their original owners.

He put the parchment scroll back in its original place. At this time, Teacher Fang Yu, who had finished registration, came back and happened to bump into Bai Ze.

“Ms. Fang, I’ve finished copying. Let’s go!”

Bai Ze stretched lazily and said with a smile.

“Huh?”

This time, Fang Yu was utterly dumbfounded.

She had been to the Manuscript Library with several students, but all of them had stayed in the Manuscript Library for two whole hours, and some of them even wished they could live here.

However, now Bai Ze had only been here for less than half an hour, and he said he had completed copying. How could such a speed not be surprising!

“Could it be that Bai Ze has already acquired them?”

Teacher Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly. She scrutinized Bai Ze from head to toe and sensed that the magic power in his body seemed to have become much stronger, and there was even a hint of storm and thunder power!

She couldn’t quite believe her eyes. She then thought that since Bai Ze’s cultural studies class was so good, he might have been able to memorize it by heart and inherit the rules much more quickly.

Teacher Fang Yu and Bai Ze then left in a state of confusion and parted ways at the entrance.

Bai Ze still had a class later, but Teacher Fang Yu had nothing else to do in the morning.

“Thank you for your help, Ms. Fang.”

Bai Ze waved his hand, then walked back to the classroom without looking back. However, before he could take a few steps, a guy came dashing out of the small forest and ran directly towards him.

Bai Ze subconsciously wanted to deploy the Icicle Technique, but when he realized that the person charging toward him was Zhang Xian, he immediately dispersed the icicle that had not yet formed.

It should be remembered that he got the two chances of inheritance thanks to Zhang Xian. If the other party did not come to find trouble with him, Bai Ze did not want to go too far either.

“Rascal, you’re really in the Manuscript Library. I think you’re tired of living!”

Zhang Xian dashed out of the woods and glared at Bai Ze with a sullen expression. The magic staff in his hand glowed with a layer of light as if he would attack at any moment.

Seeing the other party’s menacing face, Bai Ze narrowed his eyes.

He quickly guessed the other party’s intention for coming here to look for him.

It must have something to do with the jade token and that woman called Liang Rou!

“Don’t put on an act. I know who ordered you to do this, and I even know very well what you’re going to do.”

Bai Ze took out the Ethereal Magic Staff he had bought and prepared to fight at any time.

Zhang Xian didn’t expect Bai Ze to guess his intentions, so he simply stopped pretending.

He had come here to obstruct Bai Ze because he had received news from the class monitor, Liang Rou, and at the same time, she had entrusted the task to him.

Liang Rou and Jiang Qingyue were competitors. Zhang Xian had long known that the two of them were from the same clan but different family branches, so it was not surprising for them to compete with each other.

Now that Bai Ze was teaching Jiang Qingyue the meditation skill, Liang Rou had fallen behind in the competition. Naturally, she hated Bai Ze.

And as her admirer, Zhang Xian would definitely help her. According to their agreement, his task would be considered completed as long as he beat up Bai Ze so badly that he couldn’t take the college entrance examination.

At that time, not only would he be able to hook up with Liang Rou, but he would also be able to take revenge for the jade token incident.

Zhang Xian naturally didn’t want to let go of such a great opportunity.

“Rascal, you actually used my jade token to obtain the inheritance. I must cripple you today!”

Looking at the empty road intersection, Bai Ze knew this battle was inevitable.

However, now that he had learned two C-class rules, he was not afraid to fight the second ring mage, Zhang Xian.

“If you have the ability, then start the battle. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Bai Ze immediately activated the energy in his body and shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing that Bai Ze was still stubborn, Zhang Xian became enraged immediately. He did not care about showing mercy and deployed his most powerful rule straightaway.

In the next second, a burst of fire spread around and blocked most of Bai Ze’s escape routes.

The intense high temperature caused a burning pain on his skin. Bai Ze no longer held back and immediately counter-attacked with the rule, Storm Thunder Flash!

In the next moment, his figure left a long trail of afterimages as he instantly reappeared ten meters away.

After avoiding the ring of fire, Bai Ze didn’t wait for the other party to cast a spell and straightaway unleashed the Icicle Technique, condensing an icicle that was more than a meter long to shoot out.

A burst of icy cold air spread out, instantly freezing the wild grass on both sides of the road into ice sculptures.

At this point, Zhang Xian’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t expect Bai Ze to practice the Icicle Technique to this level in just one day.

He knew he could not afford to be careless, so he immediately unleashed the magic ring in his body.

A fiery red and dark blue magic ring appeared under Zhang Xian’s feet. At the same time, the concentration of magic power in his body soared instantly. The flames that could have been easily avoided immediately swept out in a radius of seven or eight meters.

Although Bai Ze’s Icicle Technique could resist the high temperature, he was still within Zhang Xian’s attack range. Not surprisingly, he did not dare to fight head-on with Zhang Xian. He could only deploy the Storm Thunder Flash again to escape.

He was just a magic apprentice who did not even possess one magic ring, while the other party was a beginner mage who possessed two magic rings. The vast difference in power meant that he could only run.

However, even with the speed boost of Storm Thunder Flash, his sleeves were still burnt black by the flames. After Zhang Xian unleashed his magic ring, the fireball was much stronger than before in both speed and coverage, making it difficult for Bai Ze to evade.

Just as Bai Ze was forced into a corner and the next fireball was about to hit him, a prompt sound suddenly saved him from the dire circumstances.

[System message: Storm Thunder Flash has been matched with an opponent of equal strength. Its automatic cultivation progress has greatly increased!]
