Chapter 334 Chapter 334: Progress
"Do you think a savage like you is worthy to secure the number 1 plaque?" A cold voice resounded
Out of all the mages in Rezen's class, the person who hates him the most is undoubtedly Quard. Now that the latter saw him arrogantly taking the most precious plaque, he naturally wouldn't take it lightly
In the past, Quard was defeated by Rezen but because of the restrictions in the first semester, the latter's inferiority was discovered by everyone. It was only at the latter part of the semester that Rezen was able to barely catch up
At this point, they are already aware of Rezen's background. He actually came from one of the tribes that the city absorbs and his decline in performance was not a surprise to them anymore
A savage from a tribe has to be good at fighting if they want to survive, hence, the reason why Rezen was able to become superior initially. However, what these tribal people lack are resources and knowledge that are indispensable for a mage
Rezen's lack of foundation was discovered by everyone and they credited it to the fact that he was a 'barbarian'
If not for his special connection to the lover of the Headmaster, it would definitely be hard for him to continue staying in the academy
"Why? Do you think you are the one worthy of this plaque? If you think like that then you have to beat me first" Rezen replied with equal arrogance
If it was in the past, he would wait a bit before trying to secure this plaque. However, now that he has the Unsullied Body that is not just useful to prevent one from being poisoned, he's no longer afraid even if all of his classmates were to gang up against him
It can be said that he was really reborn!
"Hmph! How arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson!" Quard said angrily as he waved his hand and a mirror appeared
This mirror is not something that was simply condensed using his magic. It was instead a magic artifact
Mages don't only have swords or wands as their weapons. There are many forms of magic artifacts it's just that swords and wands are the most common and popular
For three months, Quard wanted to teach Rezen a lesson and he will definitely put that into action today!
His mana flowed into his magic mirror and it instantly multiplied into three that floated in front of him
The mirrors with no surprise sent out rays of light against Rezen that simply sneered at him. He didn't even bother retrieving his magic wand and he simply waved his hand
A strong wave of wind was sent out by that simple wave and all the light rays were sent flying in all directions. They hit everywhere and everyone except for Rezen
Some of the weaker students were even injured and they decided to move from the two
As much as he is arrogant, Quard knows that this simple attack is not enough to defeat Rezen. As such, he raised his hands and more of his mana was transmitted to the three magic mirrors
This time, the mirrors sent tens of clustered light rays. This attack was stronger than before and shouldn't be something that Rezen can easily disregard
However, much to everyone's surprise, Rezen did the same thing. He waved his hand again and the winds threw these light rays away from him
Originally, Rezen already barely caught up to the progress of his genius classmates. He is already someone that they cannot defeat easily
Now that Rezen has his unsullied body and he was able to consume a few resources that are two cycles higher than his level, his strength has grown exponentially
He is not someone that can be judged by his realm. He didn't break through to the next cycle but the strength he gained after acquiring a special physique and ingesting spirit plants was no weaker than breaking through to the next cycle, resulting in this kind of performance
"What?!" Quard's pupils dilated after witnessing this scene. How come that instead of being superior to Rezen, this exchange between the two of them made him feel like he was far weaker than him?
This simply wouldn't do!
"Hmph! I don't think that you can still act arrogantly for long!" Quard harrumphed as he readied another wave of attack
"All bark!" Rezen replied as he watched Quard controlling his mirrors to surround him
After that, the mirrors shone with a bright line that simply covered Rezen's entire body. While this is not yet a magic spell, the strength of this simple magic is already nearing that!
Now that Quard attacked Rezen in all directions, he doesn't think that it won't have even a little bit of effect
However, that is exactly what happened. Despite the destructive power of the light that the mirrors released, Rezen came out unscathed and he even had the energy to charge at his opponent
On his body, a thin layer of barrier can be seen that blocks his opponent's magic
"Hmm? How did he improve this much? It's not only his raw magical power that improved, even his control grew explosively. Was he hiding his strength in the first semester?"
At this moment, even Mage Feather can't help but be surprised. As the mage that handled Rezen's batch, she naturally was taking note of their progress
The skills that Rezen is showing now couldn't be any different than the skills that Mage Feather was expecting
With a cold look in his eyes, Rezen threw a simple punch. He was not the kind of person that would deliberately offend people. However, he was also not a Saint
This Quard has been provoking him over and over again, especially at the time when he was falling behind. He might not care much back then but that is because he doesn't have the ability yet
Now that he can teach Quard a lesson, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest
With a face red in anger, Quard waved his hand as he activated the most simple magic spell out there
"[Borg!]"
A transparent barrier covered the entirety of Quard's body to block Rezen's fist but then...
Crack!
Using just a single punch, Rezen shattered Quard's defense and his fist didn't stop yet. He was able to land a solid blow into Quard's face causing the man's body to fly out
The punch was so tyrannical that the entirety of Quard's right cheek became swollen
His eyes almost rolled at the back of his head and his mind momentarily went blank from the pain and force of Rezen's punch
Everyone stared at Rezen with wide eyes. Even if there was a chance that Rezen became stronger than Quard again, isn't this too exaggerated?
He defeated him in one blow! How come the difference between the two of them was this much? Just what sort of elixir did he consume to progress this much without their knowledge?
After seeing Quard on the ground, Rezen cannot help but smile in satisfaction. If he's weak, he would ignore the bullying and taunting. But now that he has the ability, why should he endure? It's payback time, bitch!
For a moment, no one was able to react aside from staring at Rezen until they heard the sound of teeth grinding against each other
The person on the ground with a bleeding face finally recovered as he stared at Rezen hatefully
"Attack! All of you attack him! Do you want him to seize the number 1 plaque?!" Quard shouted but everyone hesitated
They want to obtain the plaque but they are also fearful of Rezen's power. If even one of the top four geniuses in the class was defeated miserably, what more for them?
Fortunately, they have one fearless classmate
"Hahaha! Rezen, you grew even stronger! Come, come! Let me experience your growth!" Porenz said with wild laughter
She doesn't mind whether Rezen is far stronger than hers considering that her and Quard's strength don't differ much
All she wants is a chance to fight such a powerful opponent. She really is fearless and has a free personality
Since the two of them at least have an amicable relationship, Rezen wouldn't humiliate Porenz as he did with Quard and he nodded his head
Just like before, Porenz wielded both a magic wand and a sword. She fired a torrent of winds at Rezen while her feet were quickly moving to approach him and also to engage in close combat
The grip she had over her sword tightened as she reached Rezen. She swung her sword without care whether Rezen could be cut in half by her or not
Fortunately, with Rezen's strength, Porenz couldn't cut him into two if he doesn't want to
Rocks suddenly covered Rezen's hand and he used it to catch Porenz's sword, sending sparks flying everywhere
"Powerful indeed!" Porenz commented as she felt like an iron wall blocked her sword
