Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment the fight started, the surrounding audience erupted into cheers excitedly.

Many people were paying close attention to who would win this match.

As a water magic sorcerer, Alice did not belong to the aggressive category amongst the sorcerers.

The water element was commonly used for healing and enchantment. It was a type of element that had higher defense and lower attack power.

Of course, this was only limited to low-level water magic. When water magic was cultivated to a higher level, the offensive power of water magic was similar to the strength of other elements. It could even be more destructive.

However, at the earlier stages, water magic sorcerers would learn how to manipulate water to become ice and using ice magic to act as their attacking power.

Ice magic was an advanced version of water magic. It could also be said that it was a mutation from water magic. However, in essence, it was still water magic.

The advantage of the ice element was that it could shape water into a certain form. This was similar to earth magic. It could create obstacles or launch icicles at the opponents.

However, the disadvantage was that the magic power consumed by ice-type magic was much higher than that of ordinary water-type magic.

The amount of magic required to change the form of the magical elements from their original form was definitely huge.

But for Alice, casting ice magic would not consume too much of her magic power.

First of all, Alice’s magic power was incomparably huge. Even when her magic power was compared to that of an Advanced Sorcerer, she was not inferior.

Secondly, her affinity with the magic element was much higher than others.

The higher the magic affinity, the lower the magic power consumption.

This was also Alice’s talent. She only needed 10% of the magic power others needed to cast a spell. On top of that, the power of the spell was even 20% higher than the others.

This was also the reason why Alice was able to defeat all her opponents from before.

“Ice Domain!” Alice took out her staff and drew a magic circle in the sky.

Her casting speed was extremely fast and in a very short time, a magic formation was complete.

Countless snowflakes began to emerge from the magic formation, and the ground began to freeze.

“Impressive.” The other teachers on the spectator’s stand exclaimed.

“I didn’t expect that she could already use magic to change the surrounding environment.” The vice-principal nodded and said, “A sorcerer will have a corresponding enhancement in whatever environment they use magic in. Using ice magic in a snowy environment will definitely be simpler and faster.”

The magic that Alice used immediately after the match started was not an attack. She first changed the surrounding environment and turned the arena into a world of ice. By doing so, it would be more beneficial for her when she was casting her spells later on.

Furthermore, the Ice Domain would also reduce the enemy’s speed.

The range of the Ice Domain Spell was not big. If this was not a competition, the opponent could have escaped from the arena unscathed and unaffected.

However, this was a competition. His opponent could not leave the stage. Otherwise, he would be judged as the loser.

Alice could also be said to have taken advantage of the rules. The other party could not escape her Ice Domain. This way, she was already at a higher ground before she even started fighting.

Meanwhile, the other party would always be within the range of her Ice Domain technique. Because of the cold, the other party’s movements would also become slower and slower.

Because the Ice Domain also overpowered the other elements within the range, the other elements would also be weakened to a certain extent.

On the contrary, if the opponent also used ice magic, both the opponent and herself would be strengthened.

However, Alice was certain that Linley Bart wasn’t capable of using ice magic.

She had always studied her opponents. She had seen Linley Bart use many spells, but she had never seen him use ice magic before.

In other words, Linley Bart was unable to gain any sort of boost from the Ice Domain. He would only be weakened by it.

While she became stronger, her enemy had become weaker.

The strength gap was instantly widened.

This was also the reason why the other teachers and the vice-principal were impressed.

Alice was an excellent sorcerer. She was good at calculation and studying the rules. She also had a high affinity with the water magic element.

In this battle, quite a few people felt that Alice had a 90% chance of winning. There was no reason for her to lose to Linley.

As for her opponent, what was Linley Bart doing?

Linley Bart was constantly looking left and right, as though searching for something. Every few seconds, he would change the direction he was facing. However, he never attacked nor did he attempt to interrupt Alice’s magic.

It had to be known that setting up a magic formation required a certain amount of time. It was best to interrupt the opponent at this stage before the formation was drawn finish.

But Linley Bart didn’t care at all. He just walked around the arena, watching Alice use the Ice Domain technique.

When Alice’s Ice Domain changed the environment of the competition arena, the battle would be too advantageous for Alice.

“Idiot. Idiot.” The teachers couldn’t help but shake their heads at Linley.

They had originally thought that Linley was pretty strong. However, they didn’t expect that he didn’t even understand this basic principle.

No one knew what he was doing. He didn’t even bother to counterattack or interrupt his opponent when his opponent was casting a spell.

Indeed, in this world, aside from Linley Bart himself, no one knew what he was doing.

This was because just a few moments ago, the system had prompted him that a Special Mysterious Treasure Chest was found nearby!

“Attention: The Special Mysterious Treasure Chest will only appear for ten minutes. If it isn’t opened within ten minutes, the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest will disappear.”

Hearing that it was a Special Mysterious Treasure Chest, Linley no longer cared about his opponent.

Ten minutes. Linley Bart had to find the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest within ten minutes.

The treasure chests he had dug up over the past few days were all Bronze or Gold Treasure Chests. They merely contained some basic items and some extremely useless abilities.

It was not of any help to Linley Bart.

For example, he had gained the ability to cook better, the ability to pronounce the other party’s name perfectly, the ability to automatically tie the shoelaces on the shoes, etc.

Although such abilities made life more convenient, it was useless when it came to combat.

Linley Bart desperately wanted to acquire more powerful abilities and magic. However, he had never been able to find them.

The appearance of this Special Mysterious Treasure Chest made Linley feel extremely moved and excited. So what if he was in a competition? Finding the treasure chest was more important!

But right now, he couldn’t leave the arena either. This made things very difficult for Linley.
