System's Super Sect Chapter 973 916: Mage and Magic Wand (Second Update)

Upon hearing these words, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart retorted indignantly, "Yun Liao, do not presume yourself superior simply because you have mastered some sorcery!"

However, Yun Liao proceeded onto the battlefield without a backward glance.

Completely disregarding Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's outburst.

This inaction fueled Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's rage, causing his fists to clench and his arms to tremble. Seeing this, Le Qing swiftly grasped Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's arm, advising, "Feng Xin, do not allow him to disrupt your focus. Our objective in this engagement is to thoroughly examine this so-called magic and identify its vulnerabilities; therefore, maintain a clear head."

Heeding Le Qing's counsel, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart gradually unclenched his fists and then fixed his gaze intently upon Yun Liao within the battlefield.

Indeed, as Le Qing had stated, their purpose was for the disciples of the Extreme Force Sect to probe Yun Liao's magical abilities.

While magic was undoubtedly sorcery, it had only recently emerged into public awareness, and no weaknesses or countermeasures had yet been discovered. Furthermore, because Yun Liao's magical displays were always ephemeral, vanishing like mist, its true nature remained elusive.

This time, if Yun Liao dared to employ his magic again, he and the Earth Unrestricted Expert from the Red Leaf Sect would undoubtedly uncover its weaknesses.

Once these vulnerabilities were identified and strategies developed, Yun Liao would be as helpless as a fish on a chopping block.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, after the four disciples from the Heaven-Defying Sect entered the arena, they sought refuge behind a distant formation of stones.

This left Yun Liao isolated in the center of the battlefield, standing with a magic wand held aloft.

Witnessing this, Le Qing was immediately taken aback.

"That wooden stick!"

"It's that wooden stick; every time magic is performed, Yun Liao brings out that wooden stick!"

Le Qing exclaimed in astonishment on two separate occasions.

This revelation seemed to jolt the observers from the Red Leaf Sect into a state of awareness.

It also caused others to focus their attention on the wooden stick grasped by Yun Liao.

The barrier surrounding the battlefield possessed the capability to obstruct all physical attacks, but it could not impede sound. Consequently, Lei Shi and his four companions overheard Le Qing's pronouncements.

Their attention immediately shifted to the stick in Yun Liao's grasp.

"Whatever it may be, let us seize it first."

"He clutches that stick every time he casts magic; that item must hold significant importance."

The five individuals quickly reached a consensus on a plan and, acting under the direction of the Earth Unrestricted Expert positioned outside the barrier, suddenly unleashed their power, charging towards Yun Liao.

Their objective: the magic wand!

Yun Liao offered a faint smile, raised his hand, and began reciting an incantation, completing it swiftly. He then waved the magic wand, and an overwhelming pressure manifested once more. The ground throughout the Stone Forest Battlefield visibly depressed, as if the earth itself had suddenly given way.

This phenomenon startled everyone present.

With the exception of the deliberately reinforced Inextinguishable Rocks, all other stones were instantly reduced to dust, and the advance of Lei Shi's group came to an abrupt halt.

Yun Liao cast a glance at the individuals observing from outside the barrier before remarking, "As a mage, how could my wand be so easily obtained? Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, the disciples you dispatched to assess my magic possess exceedingly weak spiritual power. If you wish to truly witness magic, you must come forth yourself."

With that, Yun Liao brandished his magic wand once more.

The pressure intensified exponentially!

Lei Shi's five disciples were violently slammed to the ground, their knees plunging directly into the robust, hardened bricks.

"What is this sensation?"

"We are utterly immobilized!"

The five struggled to support themselves, resisting the immense weight bearing down upon them, yet their efforts proved futile.

Attempting to open the Meridian Gate proved useless.

Activating the Vein Technique yielded no result.

Yun Liao, upholding the will of the Sect Leader and primarily aiming to showcase magic, kindly elucidated, "This power originates from the heavens and earth; it is intangible. Unless your spiritual power is sufficient to withstand such pressure, even possessing a Celestial Level Vein Skill would be of no avail."

Lei Shi's five disciples grew visibly pale, their minds too preoccupied to process further thoughts as the pressure escalated again, forcing their faces flat against the ground.

The quintet cried out in anger, attempting to push themselves upright, but their bodies refused to move even an inch. They then lamented as the oppressive force grew increasingly potent, driving them further into the bricks.

"Sword, appear!"

Yun Liao offered the five no respite.

His sword ascended!

The Flying Sword transformed into a blinding streak of light, effortlessly traversing the air within the passage before successively piercing through each of the five individuals.

With a flash of sword light, the five individuals were severed, their blood erupting like fountains, drenching the land above their heads.

This spectacle stunned every onlooker.

Five of the foremost geniuses, all at the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, met their end so swiftly?

The engagement concluded in less than a hundred breaths.

Wasn't this confrontation far too abbreviated?

"Tsk, tsk, the Red Leaf Sect has incurred a profound disadvantage this time. They gambled the lives of five peak geniuses to test Yun Liao's 'magic,' yet they couldn't even discern its nature. Yun Liao himself elucidated everything – the practitioner, the artifact, and the sheer might of this 'magic.'"

"So, those who wield magic are designated as mages, and that slender wooden implement is termed a magic wand."

"A mage can even command the very forces of heaven and earth, nullifying Vein Techniques with contemptuous ease. It's truly alarming, from conjuring tempests to unleashing such an elusive power. 'Magic,' indeed, is a terrifying force. Such sorcery, isn't it excessively potent?"

As these observations circulated, the contingent from the Red Leaf Sect presented grim, ashen visages.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, in particular, clenched his fists anew with palpable fury.

He then turned, bellowing at those assembled behind him, "What sort of incompetent fools did you recruit, incapable of lasting even a hundred breaths?!"

His primary concern was not the survival or demise of Lei Shi and the others.

His sole objective was to uncover the vulnerabilities of this so-called 'magic' and devise a method of counteraction?

Could it be true, as Yun Liao proclaimed, that without a robust spirit body, one would inevitably succumb to the invisible force and perish under the onslaught of magic?

The demise of five preeminent geniuses, one of whom was the sole prodigy of the Extreme Force Sect, left the leader in a precarious state. After enduring Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's tirade, suppressed rage surged through his body, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood.

Ji Daoshi was no more.

Lei Shi had fallen.

Yun Liao had been provoked.

The future prospects of the Extreme Force Sect appeared bleak.

"Worthless!" Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart cast a frigid glance over the assembled individuals, then ordered the leader to be removed, making it clear he wished never to lay eyes on him again.

Meanwhile, Wu Yan observed Yun Liao's group emerging from the Stone Forest Battlefield with an irrepressible ardor. It was a primal excitement, akin to a parched soul discovering an oasis.

As Yun Liao strode forth, Wu Yan couldn't refrain from a soft utterance, "Magic... it genuinely ignites the spirit. I yearn to witness firsthand the true extent of this power that renders Vein Techniques utterly impotent?"

Wu Yan promptly signaled to the four companions beside him. Then, under the watchful eyes of all present, the five of them advanced in unison toward Yun Liao.

Mere moments later, Wu Yan's quintet and Yun Liao's party stood assembled just beyond the confines of the Stone Forest Battlefield.

A mere foot separated their formations!

Then, concurrently, both sides initiated their actions.

Wu Yan affixed a challenge token onto Yun Liao's shoulder, while simultaneously, Yun Liao placed a similar token upon Wu Yan's chest.
