Chapter 72

Suren couldn't help but feel elated. According to the general principles of magical combat, when facing an opponent whose spellcasting speed is slow, one should immediately use fast spells to attack and disrupt the opponent's casting. However, Suren did not make a move, as he wanted to see just what this legendary Long Yi could do.

After seven seconds, Long Yi's magic missile finally left his hand, and at this moment, Suren was once again startled, for the magic missile was as large as a basin!

One must understand that a typical magic missile is no more than the size of a fist, and even with the surge of magical power, it is only as large as a large bowl. But the magic missile that Long Yi cast was as big as a basin! Not only that, it was burning with fierce flames and trailing thick smoke as it flew through the sky!

Suren felt his mind was not enough to process this. The burning flames and trailing smoke, he could understand; these were likely attributes brought by the fat dragon. However, the missile being as large as a basin was no small matter.

It meant that Long Yi had mastered a very important technique.

Mana infusion.

As the name suggests, mana infusion involves continuously infusing mana into the spell being cast to enhance its destructive power.

It sounded simple, but this was a technique for seventh-year students!

After the seventh year, students at the Dragon Knight Academy would enter the army for practical combat training. This technique was a key part of a mage's practical training!

Suren had personal experience with how difficult it was to increase a spell's destructive power without changing the spell itself. He had tried several times, and each time he ended up with a face full of soot!

And this damn bastard, he came out with such a technique right from the start, and even used it on a basic skill like a magic missile! Are you showing off?

Suren felt a tinge of jealousy.

But what Suren didn't know was that he had misunderstood Long Yi.

This was not mana infusion at all, but just a regular magic missile cast by Long Yi. As a giant, Long Yi's mana speed and quality far exceeded that of humans, and even dragons might not be his match. If not for the suppression of his current strength, the magic missile he cast would likely have been terrifying!

Watching the oversized magic missile slowly fly towards him from a distance, all of Suren's shock turned into disdain.

So what if you can cast such a large magic missile? Your casting speed is slow, and the flight time of the spell is too long; these are your weaknesses! You won't win against me!

With a determined heart, Suren raised his hand and launched two magic missiles. Using spells to counter spells is a basic technique in mage combat. However, Suren underestimated the strength of Long Yi's magic missile! Two missiles collided with Long Yi's, but the only result was more smoke, with no change to Long Yi's missile!

"Damn!"

Although Long Yi's magic missile was slow, it was still a spell. This delay had brought it almost to Suren's face!

"Explode!"

Suren's hands moved rapidly, launching magic missiles one after another, while his body retreated desperately. The smoke-filled magic missile followed like a hydrogen balloon tied to a string!

Finally, after a dozen magic missiles, Long Yi's missile could no longer maintain its stability and exploded in a burst of red flames and thick smoke.

Suren relaxed for a moment, but suddenly felt a chill! Oh no, this is a triple-shot spell; after the magic missile, there is a magic spear!

The smoke in front of him suddenly churned, and Suren rolled away without thinking. A thick magic spear slammed into the spot where he had been standing.

Then came the lightning bolt!

No one can outpace lightning!

Before learning the Static Barrier skill, this spell could not be dodged!

Brace for it!

"Aura Shield!"

"Aura Shield!"

Suren summoned two more Aura Shields, adding to the one he had already summoned, making a total of three. He didn't believe that the opponent's lightning, no matter how powerful, could instantly penetrate his three Aura Shields!

At this moment, thick arcs of electricity still emerged from Long Yi's hands!

Crack!

A huge arc of electricity instantly struck Suren's Aura Shield.

First one! Broken!

Second one! Broken!

Third one! Intact!

Ha, as I expected, each of Long Yi's spell attacks, though powerful, has the weakness of being slow. As long as I seize this weakness, I can win!

Suren was about to prepare a new spell but saw Long Yi's hands flash with electricity again!

Lightning bolt?

Again?

How can he cast it so quickly after just finishing the last one?

No! It's not a second cast! This is the effect of double casting! Each time a spell is cast, there is a certain chance that the same spell will be cast again!

One must understand that spells cannot be cast continuously without pause. Due to the way spells operate within the body, after casting a spell, the body needs time to reset. This cooldown period shortens with the mage's strength but never disappears. The stronger the spell, the longer the cooldown.

However, with double casting, the mage can, in a clever way, maintain the casting state after finishing a spell and immediately gather mana to cast the same spell again.

Long Yi had indeed used double casting just now!

Damn! Not enough time!

Suren struggled and finally managed to cast another Aura Shield.

The lightning struck, and the two Aura Shields in front of Suren instantly shattered. The aftereffects of the lightning bolt hit Suren, making him stagger back a few steps, but the power was limited.

"Damn, you got lucky, triggering double casting like that, but now, it's my turn..."

Suren's words were cut short as he saw Long Yi's hands light up again.

What?

Again?

Another lightning bolt?

How is that possible?

The effect of double casting has already passed!

Wait, could the second lightning bolt have triggered double casting again?

No way!

Suren remembered his mentor saying that even spells triggered by double casting could trigger double casting again, but the probability was extremely low, almost like encountering someone who looks exactly like you twice in a row on the street.

At the time, Suren had laughed heartily, like all his classmates, treating it as a joke. But now, he was actually seeing it happen!

In a panic, Suren still managed to set up another Aura Shield with his mastery of spells, but only one. The shield had just appeared when the lightning was already upon him.

With a loud boom, the shield shattered, and the energy that penetrated the Aura Shield struck Suren. He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, followed by a loss of control and intense pain!

He lost!

Suren had never thought he would lose like this. The lightning bolt had no lethal power; its main function was to restrict the enemy's movement. But he never expected that Long Yi's lightning bolt would be so powerful. Just one strike made Suren feel as if his body was being torn apart.

Surrender, surrender, go back and tell the boss immediately that this Long Yi is very powerful with his spells, and it's best not to provoke him.

Suren wanted to surrender, but his mouth was still numb and unresponsive. However, his eyes were still fixed on the front. When he looked at Long Yi, he was terrified to see that Long Yi was preparing another lightning bolt in his hands.

No way? Again? Another one? Triggered again?

Damn, is there any justice in the world? Is there any humanity?

Suren felt like crying. Little sister, little sister, you've really done me in today. Is this Long Yi's luck, or am I just that unlucky? A mere double casting triggered three times in a row! This is double casting, not triple or quadruple casting!

If I had known this would happen, why did I agree? How pitiful am I! Heaven, just let me be knocked out, I hope to wake up in the hospital!

Boom!

This time, the lightning struck Suren without any hindrance. The blinding arcs of electricity twisted in the air before reluctantly disappearing. Suren fell to the ground as he wished, losing consciousness, his eyes rolling back, and foam spilling from his mouth, the air filled with the smell of ozone.

At this moment, Long Yi was frantically shaking his hands. After casting the lightning bolt four times in succession, his palms were even slightly red from the heat. If not for the dragon scale armor, Long Yi's palms would have been burned.

The battle was over, and the victor was clear. But everyone was stunned, no one spoke a word or made a move.
