Chapter 46: Humiliating Lance, Reprimanding A Senior
“That’s…”
“Instant release of a third-grade spell???”
The judging teacher sprung to his feet upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Thunder Python. “He released the Thunder Python practically in an instant! Instant release! That’s definitely instant release!
“He’s only a low-level Magician, yet he can already instantly release a third-grade spell?”
The judging teacher found this beyond his imagination. As the person in charge of presiding over the battle platform and acting as a judge for students’ public showdowns, he had witnessed innumerable magic showdowns. Out of which, there was no lack of incredibly wonderful and exciting ones!
However, this was his very first time seeing the instant release of a third-grade spell!
Why was that?
It was because one needed to be at least a great Seventh-Grade Magician before they could achieve instant release of third-grade spells!
Fifth-Grade Magicians couldn’t do it!
Neither could Sixth-Grade Magicians!
And great Seventh-Grade Magicians were a rare existence among students in the academy!
This meant that practically nobody among the students in the academy could instantly release third-grade spells, not even the sixth-year graduating students!
“I’ve heard that this student named Meng Lei could already instantly release first-grade spells during the mid-term examination when he was at Third-Grade Magician standard!”
This was inconceivable to the judging teacher.
“And he can actually instantly release third-grade spells now! Could he have… already reached the level of a great Seventh-Grade Magician?
“No! That’s impossible! How long has it only been since the mid-term examination?”
The judging teacher was astounded. Similarly, the students watching the battle were also rather shocked. Although their level of skill was low, they weren’t blind. In fact, there were a lot of seniors from higher grades there!
These seniors had exceptional judgment and could discern the inner workings of what was going on. However, it was precisely because of this that they were the most badly shocked!
“That Thunder Python’s might is so strong! It really makes one shudder with fear!”
“Yes! I feel the same way, too. What grade is that spell?”
“That’s a third-grade thunder spell… Thunder Python!”
“A third-grade spell? Surely not? I didn’t see him chanting a magic incantation. Could he have been chanting it silently?”
“What’s there to chant?! Didn’t you see that the Thunder Python was an instant release? That’s an instant release of spells!”
“F*ck! Instant release of a third-grade spell? How can that be?!”
“What kind of joke is that?! I’m already graduating next year, but even I can’t do that! A first-year brat like him…”
Shock!
Confusion!
Inconceivable!
Gasps filled the place. Lance, who had been swallowed by the Thunder Python, was destined for a tragedy, though. A third-grade spell was several times more destructive than a second-grade spell, even though it still couldn’t kill him!
However, the electric currents wreaking havoc constantly numbed his body and made him spasm all over. He lost control over his body and stood frozen on the spot, unable to even budge a little!
He couldn’t even open his mouth to shout!
As a fellow Fifth-Grade Warrior, you’re a far cry from Raging Bull!
Meng Lei’s countenance was carefree as he admired how agonized Lance was because he couldn’t move, despite being furious. He felt exhilarated. He wanted to teach Lance a lesson that he would never ever forget so that he would never dare to come and mess with him again!
“Old bro, you’re so awesome!”
Fatty Hart screamed and shouted excitedly, “Hurry! Continue to release magic, and deal him a lethal blow! Don’t give him the chance to retaliate!”
“There’s no hurry!”
Meng Lei waved him off and smiled as he watched Lance.
At that moment, the Thunder Python’s effect slowly faded, and Lance gradually regained his senses. With his fangs bared and his claws brandished, he pounced toward Meng Lei in great fury and exasperation!
However, what welcomed him was yet another Thunder Python!
Boom!
Lance was frozen to the spot again, his body constantly shaking all over!
“Old bro, what exactly do you want to do?”
Fatty Hart couldn’t quite understand Meng Lei’s intentions anymore.
“You’ll understand after you watch further!”
Meng Lei didn’t continue to attack, either. Instead, he simply watched quietly!
Lance struggled free again after a brief moment. However, before he could move, yet another Thunder Python dived toward him and trapped him where he was!
By this point, a lot of people had already understood.
“What exactly is that guy trying to do? Why does he keep attacking Lance with Thunder Python? Is that the only spell he knows? Or is Thunder Python the strongest offensive spell he knows?”
“Ha! Do you think this is the most powerful spell he knows when he can instantly release a third-grade spell?”
“Err… What is he trying to do, then?”
“Don’t you understand yet? That guy is evidently using low-grade spells to humiliate Lance. He’s attacking Lance’s self-confidence by humiliating him again and again, and playing Lance for a fool while having him under his complete control!”
“Damn! That’s so brutal!”
Meng Lei was indeed humiliating Lance. He wanted Lance to know that even if his body had broken through to fifth-grade, he could still use low-grade spells to defeat him, regardless!
So what even if his battle capabilities had greatly increased?
He was still a brainless and useless piece of trash!
Just like that, Lance struggled free time and again, only to be trapped by Thunder Pythons time and again. This humiliated Lance and filled him with extreme grief and resentment! Tears of humiliation streamed down his cheeks!
A Dragon Person senior couldn’t bear to watch any further. He shouted at Meng Lei, “What kind of ability does using low-grade spells to humiliate an opponent weaker than yourself count as? Hurry and let go of Lance!”
“So you want to stand up for him? Come on up, then!”
Meng Lei turned to look at the Dragon Person, the corners of his mouth seemingly turned up into a smile, yet not at the same time!
The Dragon Person senior’s words came to a stop, and his eyes turned shifty. Although he was a fifth-year senior and also had the battle capabilities of a Fifth-Grade Magician, he wasn’t confident that he could defeat Meng Lei!
Instantly releasing a third-grade spell?
F*ck!
That was practically the goddamn nemesis of a low-level Magician! Didn’t they see how Lance, someone with a Fifth-Grade Warrior’s body, had also been restrained and didn’t have any means of retaliation at all?
Asking him to go up there?
He would only be trapped even more completely and become an even bigger embarrassment!
“Shut up if you don’t dare to come up here. Don’t mouth off and embarrass yourself over there anymore!” said Meng Lei with a cold snort. Then, he didn’t spare the Dragon Person senior even a glance anymore!
“You bastard!”
Humiliated, the Dragon Person senior left with his tail between his legs. This would pass after a while if he just put up with it, but if he were to really go up the platform and end up being defeated, then he would really be thoroughly embarrassed!
How was he supposed to carry on in the academy in the future?
“That bastard! He’s too arrogant!”
“That’s going too far in his bullying!”
“Killing someone is no more than giving him a simple death! Humiliating us Dragon People like that is intolerable! Isn’t anyone going to step forward and teach that bastard a lesson?!”
Feelings ran high among the Dragon People nobility watching the battle. They were extremely frustrated, yet not a single one of them dared to step forward. Even the sixth-year Dragon People graduating seniors didn’t dare to!
So what even if they were sixth-year students?
Against Meng Lei, someone who could instantly release a third-grade spell, even they had to admit defeat!
“Impressive! That’s truly impressive!”
“That really brings us so much honor! It’s been more than two years since I’ve come to the academy, but I’ve never seen that bunch of arrogant Dragon People being such losers before!”
“Hehe! That really goddamn works off the anger!”
The Dragon People were frustrated, but all the human students present were secretly delighted. In the whole of Fire Dragon Kingdom, the humans were a class lower than the Dragon People right from the start. This situation remained the same, even after they had come to the academy!
A lot of human students, especially the commoners, were frequently bullied by their Dragon People classmates, but they didn’t dare to speak up despite their fury. This wasn’t the first or second day that their grudge against the Dragon People students had existed!
Now, upon seeing Meng Lei humiliating Lance like that, and berating a Dragon Person senior, they naturally found this incredibly gratifying. It was as if they had won a huge victory in war!
“Meng Lei, don’t overdo it!”
At that moment, the judging teacher spoke up.
“Fine!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he began to chant a magic incantation for the strongest fourth-grade thunder-elemental single-target offensive spell—Descending Wild Thunder. It formed swiftly, and then engulfed Lance!
