After leaving Fragrant Pavilion, Angor went to the Tower of Infinity.
He was planning to say goodbye to Sailum.
However, to his surprise, Sailum was still in the match when he arrived. According to the match list, Sailum was still in the match.
He had been in the R&D Department for a while, and he had spent so much time in the Fangling Pavilion. Sailum's Level 6 promotion match was still going on?
Angor took a closer look and realized that Sailum was not fighting on Level 6 at all. He was already on Level 7 of the Tower of Infinity.
Angor was curious. Was Sailum fighting in a row? But he was more curious about the fact that the matches on Level 7 were open to the public.
Angor remembered that the matches in the Tower of Infinity were not open to spectators unless they were important matches. It would make sense if the matches were open to the public. But why was Sailum's first match on Level 7 open to the public when he just arrived?
Puzzled, he bought a ticket and entered the audience area.
When he entered, the match was already halfway done. He noticed that there were a lot of spectators in the area. It was almost overcrowded.
Angor looked up at the arena. The two sides of the arena were divided into black and white. Sailum was in a world of darkness, and his figure was barely visible.
On the white side was a world of ice. A man in a silver-white windbreaker was standing on a Frost Dragon. His body was covered in specks of frost, and his clothes fluttered in the cold wind. He looked very dashing.
Angor went to the back seat and listened carefully. He finally understood why the match was open to the public.
It was about Sailum's match.
Sailum was very lucky. During the match on Level 6, his opponent did not show up in time for some unknown reason. Sailum was lucky enough to advance to the next level.
Since it was so easy, Sailum wanted to fight another match to test his luck on Level 7.
Perhaps Sailum had used up all his luck in the promotion match. He was up against a very strong opponent in this match.
Saurhir, nicknamed "White Nightmare", was a top-level ice apprentice.
He was from Winter Academy, an organization under Moonfrost Union.
This match was not a match, but it attracted so many spectators because Saurhir, the chief editor of Firefly's Night Tale, Dichael, mentioned that he had great potential.
Saurhir was only 25 years old. It only took him ten years to reach the peak of apprentice level. According to Dichael's prediction, Saurhir would become a wizard before the age of 30.
According to some gossip magazines, Saurhir was listed as the 21st most promising apprentice in this competition.
Powerful talent, a future full of potential, and Saurshere's exquisite appearance attracted a large number of fans.
The Tower of Infinity would surely allow spectators to watch a match like this, which would sell a lot of tickets.
Angor began to watch the match with great interest after learning the inside story.
After watching for a while, Angor noticed that Saushir was indeed a potential "seed". Saushir was quite strong. Not only did he know how to cast ice spells, but he also knew other types of cantrips very well. Even Angor was not as good as Saushir.
Almost every response he made could be described as a textbook response.
Angor couldn't help but praise him.
However, Saurashir's performance was very stable, but his fans in the audience were still gloomy. The main reason was that Saurhir's opponent was too unpredictable.
Sailum was hiding in the darkness, so Saurhir couldn't attack effectively. He had to wait for Sailum to attack so that he could react.
After another ineffective attack, Saurhir spoke in a cold voice, "You can turn into darkness already?"
Sailum's laughter came from the darkness, but no one could see where his real body was hiding.
After several rounds of helpless attacks, Saurhir finally made up his mind and began to channel a large amount of mana.
Angor saw what Saurhir was trying to do. Saurhir was going to use a wide-range cantrip to attack Sailum's shadow.
Saurhir's plan made sense. Sailum was only a level-2 apprentice. He knew that there was a huge difference in mana pool between him and Saurhir. Since he couldn't end the battle in a short time, Sailum's plan was to exhaust Saurhir's mana.
That was how he always did it.
However, when Saurhir used a wide-range cantrip that included all of Sailum's shadow, Sailum had to face Saurhir's attack head-on.
Any other supernatural who didn't know how to counter darkness would do the same thing.
But Angor had a question in mind. Sailum should know what Saurhir was going to do. But why did he still do it? Or was Sailum waiting for Saurhir to use a wide-range cantrip?
After all, Sailum's goal was to exhaust Saurhir's mana pool. Such a wide-range cantrip would consume a large amount of mana.
As long as Saurhir used it a few more times, Sailum's mana pool would be emptied.
However, Sailum had to be able to deal with such a wide-range attack first.
As Angor thought about this, the ice dragon under Saurhir's feet shattered into countless ice shards and rained down on Sailum's shadow.
Once. Twice. Five times.
Sailum withstood them all. However, his shadow was already trembling. Saurhir's face was turning pale. His mana pool was about to run out.
"How is that possible? How can his shadow be so durable?"
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Angor was curious as well, but he knew it wouldn't take long for the battle to come to an end. It all depended on whether Saurhir would win or if Sailum could hold on.
Saurhir gritted his teeth and unleashed another wide-range attack.
When countless ice shards fell down, Sailum's shadow finally shattered. Saurshir's eyes were filled with surprise, but when the Darkness Incarnation disappeared, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The reason why Sailum could survive six consecutive attacks was revealed. A large number of runes appeared on Sailum's body. These runes formed a translucent barrier that protected him from the ice shards.
When Saursheel saw these patterns, his eyes were filled with surprise. "Sage Shield? This is the talent of a Sage. You have a Sage Body?! "
The audience looked at Sailum in surprise after hearing Saurhir's words.
A Sage Body was an extremely rare and special constitution. How did it appear in the Rising Star Competition? And this person wasn't famous at all?
The audience was in an uproar!
Some reporters who came to report on Saurhir's match were even more surprised. They didn't expect to find a Sage Body contestant just by following up on a potential contestant.
The audience's reaction aside, the focus was back on the arena.
Sailum was weaker than Saurhir. He managed to hold on, but he couldn't move anymore.
Saurhir stood up and gave Sailum a complicated look. He didn't expect to be cornered by a level-2 apprentice like this.
Luckily, he didn't lose.
Saurhir reached out a finger. He was going to use an offensive cantrip to defeat Sailum. However, he changed his mind after some thought. Sailum had a Sage Body. No one knew if he had someone to rely on. There was no need to offend him.
Saurhir opened his palm. A breeze blew over, and he was going to push Sailum out of the arena.
However, when Saurhir released the breeze, a beautiful female voice came from behind him. "Oh my, looks like you still need me to win."
Saursheel turned around abruptly, only to see a thick book floating behind him without him noticing. At this moment, the thick book suddenly began to flip. When it flipped to a certain page, an elegant lady popped her upper body out of the book. She stretched out her hand and pushed Saurashir's chest.
"The match is over —"
Light flashed!
The end of the match was announced after the light.
Dark Codex thought he was going to win, but in the end, Saurhir still won.
It was because Saurhir had used an Ice Prison at the critical moment to trap himself in the arena.
This Ice Prison was a cantrip from Saurhir's spell slot, so it could be cast instantly.
Sailum, on the other hand, was blown out of the ring by the strong wind. Unfortunately, he was defeated.
Saurhir did not expect that an Ice Prison spell he used against his opponent would turn out to be the key to his victory. However, he had used up all of his mana pool. He could not leave the ice prison anytime soon. He could only stay in the arena awkwardly while being watched by the audience.
This match wasn't very exciting, but it had produced a seed with great potential who was previously unknown but had now shocked the world with a single brilliant feat.
It was expected that Sailum's name would spread far and wide after this battle!
A Sage Body was already very rare, not to mention that he almost defeated Saurhir.
For Sailum, this match that he thought was going to be a disaster was actually not a bad thing from the perspective of increasing his reputation.
Of course, this was something for the future.
Angor wanted to say goodbye to Sailum in person after the match. However, because his mana pool was exhausted, he fell into a self-healing coma as soon as the match ended.
According to the medical team's assessment, he would sleep for two or three days.
He had no choice but to tell Dark Codex his goodbyes. When Sailum woke up, Dark Codex would tell him.
