The Genius Mage

“You?” Perhaps it was because Audrey’s aura was too cold and noble that the others felt that her strength was not that great, so they all tried to persuade her to leave.

“Why don’t you go back and cultivate properly?”

“There’s no need.” Audrey refused bluntly. She raised her hand gently and pointed at one of the people. “I want to challenge you.”

The person she pointed at was a young man. During the previous challenge, Audrey had observed the fighting styles of each of them and found that she could adapt to the fighting styles of the young man. That was why she had chosen him.

The man was surprised for a moment, but he quickly came out to accept the challenge.

“I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a girl,” the man said jokingly with a frivolous laugh. It was clear that he had a good personality.

Audrey also smiled and replied, “I don’t want you to go easy on me at all.”

“Very good!” The man replied. His eyes sharpened, and the aura around him began to change. The powerful, threatening, and oppressive aura made it difficult for people to breathe.

However, Audrey still stood calmly on the spot.

Although the man was powerful, Audrey had seen all kinds of people in her previous life. So naturally, she would not feel afraid. No matter how much the man released his battle Qi to threaten her, Audrey remained calm.

Seeing that Audrey did not panic at all, the man was slightly surprised. Then, he casually released a stream of battle Qi to test Audrey’s strength.

Audrey did not fall into the man’s trap. Instead, she dodged it directly, making it impossible for the man to identify her strength accurately. This way, it would be more advantageous for her to protect herself.

“Wind shock slash!” The man seemed determined to know Audrey’s strength, so he continued to attack and make things difficult for her.

This time, Audrey did not dodge.

She quickly condensed an energy ball in her palm. When that force attacked, she struck out with the energy ball. The two forces collided and were in a stalemate for a long time before they were destroyed together.

Surprise flashed across the man’s eyes when he saw this. It seemed that he did not expect Audrey’s strength to be so muscular. After all, there were not many people who could completely block his Dou technique.

“Ice condensation technique!” Seizing the moment when the man was lost in thought, Audrey quickly attacked. But, unfortunately, the long sword that was wrapped in frost had already closed in on the man’s chest.

The man quickly came back to his senses. Then, with a flash, he retreated and dodged.

Audrey was unwilling to give up and continued to attack, but she did not hit him.

“Gale technique!” The man did not want to be outdone and released his battle Qi.

Audrey knew that she was not her opponent in a head-on clash, so she chose to dodge and then seize the opportunity to attack. Only then would she have a chance to win.

The man seemed to have seen through Audrey’s scheme as he repeatedly attacked and forced Audrey to take his attacks.

Audrey’s brows furrowed tightly. If this continued, she would be forced off the stage by the man. When that time came, everything would be over. Audrey suddenly thought of the moves she had just practiced in the otherworldly realm last night in her panic.

She hurriedly steadied her figure and performed a set of moves like flowing water. Audrey could feel the natural elements gathering around her, making her powerful.

And she just happened to be able to make use of this power.

“Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me with endless divine power.” As she chanted, Audrey’s azure eyes revealed a hint of danger. However, she quickly absorbed that power and turned it into a powerful energy ball that attacked the man.

The man could feel the power of the energy ball, but he could only receive it. The two forces collided once again, and they were evenly matched.

At the same time, Audrey continued to absorb the surrounding natural elements, condensing them into a new and powerful power that was injected into the energy ball.

Gradually, Audrey’s power became stronger, and the man was at a disadvantage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audrey brandished her sword with her other hand. “Frost arrow!”

The long sword was quickly covered in frost as it struck the man. Unfortunately, the man could not react in time and was struck to the ground by Audrey’s energy ball.

Seeing this, Audrey took advantage of her victory and chased after him. She quickly went forward and pressed the long sword against the man’s chest. The corners of her mouth curled into a playful smile as she said, “You’ve lost.”

The man never seemed to think that he would lose. Moreover, he had lost to an unremarkable little girl. Nevertheless, the expression on his face was excited.

After a long while, he seemed to accept the fact that he had lost. He stood up from the ground, lowered his head slightly, and said, “Congratulations on your win. What’s your name?”

“Audrey.”

“My name is Slydy. It’s a pleasure to meet you. We’ll be friends from now on,” said Slydy with a smile. “You’ve made me look at you in a new light. I look forward to seeing you join the level one Knights as soon as possible.”

“Thank you. I hope so too,” Audrey nodded and said meaningfully.

It could be said that the two of them did not know each other until they fought. Audrey walked down the arena gracefully and headed straight for her teammates. Their cheers were heard.

“Audrey, you’re amazing!”

“You’re simply the glory of our team.”

…

In the face of everyone’s praise, Audrey glanced at them helplessly and said, “Alright, stop flattering me. Go back and train hard.”

“I suggest that we rest today. We’ll train hard tomorrow and strive to enter the level one Knights Legion as soon as possible,” Cole said loudly.

Audrey, who was about to bring them to the map to train, hesitated slightly when she heard this. She looked at them nervously as if she was asking for their opinions.

“Then, go back and rest. You’ve been tired from the competition for the past two days,” Hobart echoed.

Klein and the others naturally did not have any problems, so they parted on good terms. Audrey went back to her dorm to rest. Her roommates, Barbara and Ross, somehow learned of the good news of Audrey’s success in her challenge. They also gave her a wave of warm praise.
