Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 119 Fury

Da Yin Xisheng.

A small mushroom cloud was created.

All was quiet, and Link felt as if the world had become completely still.

It took a long time for his hearing to return.

The weapon, which is said to be capable of killing a first-level official wizard, truly lives up to its name as a powerful weapon.

They blasted out a crater that was three meters deep and more than twenty meters wide.

The pureblood trio, having many trump cards they hadn't even had a chance to use, were knocked down in one blow, staggering and lying at the bottom of the pit.

The "Defender 3202" set performed admirably, preventing direct damage from the explosion of the powerful weapon.

Therefore, the pureblood trio maintained their complete physiques and did not instantly become mutilated limbs and broken bones.

However, the powerful impact and strong shockwave from the explosion caused significant damage to the pure-blood trio, who were still in the wizard apprentice stage and whose life essence had not yet undergone a leap.

Even though the internal organs weren't ruptured, there was definitely massive bleeding.

His head was also severely concussed.

The three people immediately went into shock and were left to their own devices.

"You're amazing!"

Iris Clark circled in the air a few times, waiting for the aftershocks of the weapon to completely subside before setting Link down before landing herself.

Looking at Link, Iris Clark made no attempt to hide her emotions, expressing her heartfelt feelings.

What impressed her wasn't the powerful weapon that played a decisive role in this brief battle.

Instead, Link stood in the center of the pureblood trio, unleashing a barrage of sorcery that made the trio unable to lift their heads.

The humanoid witchcraft machine gun, with its barrage-style witchcraft attacks, is indeed very cool in terms of its presentation!

Iris Clark fell in love with this attack pattern at first sight.

However, she knew in her heart that although she didn't know how Link Grand had done it, it definitely involved personal secrets.

So, no matter how envious or fond she was, Iris Clark resisted the urge to ask.

My sister once said that she has many flaws that she needs to change, including her strong possessiveness.

Not everyone can accept you!

Not everyone can tolerate your willfulness!

Moreover, even if I obtained this secret, I might not be able to learn this attack pattern.

Ok.

A jumble of thoughts flashed through Iris Clark's mind.

After Link landed, he didn't rush to answer the excited Iris Clark, nor did he rush to check on the three purebloods who had fainted on the ground.

Since they weren't moved out by the academy's protective measures, it proves they were only seriously injured and not on the verge of death.

It's best to act prudently to avoid any mishaps.

Link arrived at the edge of the pit, took a newly upgraded level 1 magic-resistant net gun from his belt, and fired three magic-resistant nets from a distance.

A large net was spread out and covered the three purebloods respectively.

The magical activity around them instantly decreased, making it almost impossible for them to cast spells.

However, this is not enough to guarantee safety.

Link unleashed three more Thorn Whiplashes, then patiently controlled the thorns to strip the three purebloods of their magical artifacts and rune items, except for the "Defender 3202" set which was still in an active state, and confiscated them as spoils of war.

In this way, the pureblood trio basically lost their ability to fight back.

Lin was relieved and prepared to go down to the bottom of the pit.

"You're being way too cautious!"

Iris Clark watched Link's actions throughout and couldn't help but sigh again.

I've seen steady people, but I've never seen anyone so sneaky.

Basically, a level 1 sorcerer's magic-suppressing net gun is safe enough.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. What if they've hidden a plan to take everyone down with them?"

Link replied calmly, "You only have one life."

Upon hearing this, Iris Clark glanced at Link, feeling something was off and quite incongruous.

She muttered, "You're such a weirdo! You were so suspicious when I asked you for help before, so fierce during the fight just now, and now you're such a coward! It feels like your mental breakdown is even more severe than mine."

Link remained silent.

He was indeed quite fierce during the fight, which is not in line with his personality at all.

But he did it on purpose.

The purpose was simple: to test them.

First, to test his own ability to overcome challenges with witchcraft; second, to see if Iris Clark would take the opportunity to betray him.

To be honest, Link was quite disappointed with the witchcraft aspect.

Even with pseudo-natal magic and the three spellcasting techniques developed based on it, his magical offensive capabilities are still limited by the low attack power of 0-level magic itself.

Even if it's not the "Defender 3202" set that even powerful weapons can't destroy, but just an ordinary level 1 witch weapon, it still can't break through the defense!

Only after consuming the precious "Multi-threaded Thinking" state card, transforming into a supercomputer equipped with top-tier AI and a humanoid sorcery machine gun, completely suppressing and disrupting the pureblood trio's rhythm, was he able to salvage a moment of dignity.

Link couldn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Iris Clark's performance.

You can't see into someone's heart.

Link couldn't be sure whether Iris Clark's decision not to attack him earlier, but instead to follow orders and lead him away from the battlefield, was genuinely without malice towards him, or if there was another reason.

In short, Link remained vigilant, though he had relaxed his guard somewhat on the surface.

The most important thing now is not to dwell on this, but to deal with the "prisoners" and then distribute the spoils.

Just as Link descended to the bottom of the pit, estimating that the pureblood trio truly had no ability to resist, he stepped forward to awaken them and interrogate them one by one.

Three white beams of light descended from the sky, instantly taking the three people away.

"pity."

Link shook his head and sighed softly, "Things don't always go as planned."

He refused to believe that the injuries of the pureblood trio could deteriorate to a life-threatening level in such a short time, triggering the academy's protective measures.

He was even less convinced that the academy had no official wizards paying attention to the competition between the two districts!

Link has never hesitated to assume the worst about anyone.

Pushing his chaotic thoughts away, Link began to examine his spoils.

Five magical artifacts and a pile of runic items.

Among them, the most precious item is the reconnaissance magic weapon that comes with a crossbow.

That level 1 defensive artifact that withstood two bundles of enhanced self-destructing fire grenades from Iris Clark was pretty good too.

The remaining three magical artifacts are all miniature intelligent brains, each about half the size of a palm, and equipped with biometric locks.

If it can't be opened, it's essentially useless, and there's also the risk of it being located and tracked.

Link threw the three miniature AIs directly into the pit.

Rune items have various uses and are all very practical.

They should be able to play a good role and provide considerable assistance during the process of exploring other worlds.

"The spoils will be divided equally, half for you and half for me."

Link sorted out his spoils, walked out of the pit, and presented them to Iris Clark. "Ladies first, you choose first."

"I don't want to!"

Iris Clark glanced at it, somewhat disdainfully.

Apart from the two magical artifacts that were of decent quality, the pile of runic items really didn't catch her eye.

"The spoils should be distributed equally; this is a matter of principle."

Link didn't try to take advantage of the situation and buy all the spoils. Instead, he emphasized, "You have to take them. It doesn't matter if you throw them away."

Team formation is team formation, even if it's a temporary team formation.

The rules that must be followed must be followed.

This is the bottom line.

"All right."

Iris Clark thought Link Grand's words made sense and reluctantly agreed.

She took the level 1 defensive artifact and then randomly picked a few more rune items from the pile, barely enough to make it an evenly distributed item.

Link then accepted the control handle of the reconnaissance artifact, as well as the remaining half of the rune items.

He fiddled with it for a while, then summoned the reconnaissance artifact, which looked like a round flying saucer, down from the sky and examined it carefully.

"This thing is pretty good, it's even more expensive than my bionic eagle."

Iris Clark also came over, glanced at it a few times, and said, "I originally wanted to buy it too, but I didn't earn enough magic stones during the holidays, so I gave up."

Link then asked, "Do you apprentices in the North District also do holiday part-time jobs? Are jobs easy to find?"

Iris Clark laughed heartily, "What part-time job? If it weren't for the academy's rules, I wouldn't bother earning magic stones. Why would I need to work like those newbies in the South District..."

As she spoke, Iris Clark realized her mistake, scratched her head, and said apologetically, "Hehe, I let it slip, don't mind me."

Link shook his head, not minding.

This word choice is relatively neutral and not derogatory.

Link walked back to the small mound, retrieved the large bag, and was about to pack the rune items into the bag for later use.

Iris Clark suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"What is it?"

Link turned around and asked.

"There's something wrong with this."

Iris Clark picked out a keychain-like object from the half of the runic items in Link's hand.

She looked at it over and over again, her brows furrowing more and more, her expression growing increasingly serious.

"Have you offended anyone?"

Finally, Iris Clark stopped examining the area, stared intently into Link's eyes, and said seriously, "Think carefully. Someone is planning to kill you in here!"

As she spoke, she held up the object in her hand and explained in detail,

"This is a very insidious alchemical item. It has only one function: to slow down the connection between the body and the soul."

Normally, it might have some negative effects, but it won't cause any particularly serious harm.

If you are critically injured and dying inside, it will be able to work.

The academy's protective measures could become a fatal blow; removing a corpse would actually kill you.

Upon hearing this, Link immediately took the matter seriously.

Without much thought, among the people he offended, only Peter Lionel and Soren Lucia had the ability to arrange for members of the "Pureblood Will" to kill him.

Link didn't bother guessing who it was; he figured it was definitely them.

So, these three "Pureblood Will" members came here specifically to kill him!

Not for the sake of a bet.

"Thank you, Iris!"

Link expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

If it weren't for Iris Clark's extensive knowledge and ability to recognize this thing, Link would have inevitably suffered a great loss when facing members of the "Pureblood Will" in the future.

The other party came with murderous intent, but you still have a competitive mindset. How can you not suffer losses, right?

"You're too kind! We're teammates."

Iris Clark chuckled.

Seeing that Link was unwilling to answer the question about who he had offended, she thought about it for a moment and roughly understood Link's predicament, so she did not press him for details.

"Let's go."

Link packed the remaining rune items into his bag, slung it over his shoulder, gave a shout, and continued toward Jasmine's location.

With this incident, we can't afford to waste any more time.

We need to find Jasmine as soon as possible, and also find Buck, Ezio, Deeja, Lynn, and Dalton.

One person alone cannot fight against so many "pureblood wills".

Link needs to assemble his team.

Then, take advantage of the small team's mobility and engage in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with "Pureblood Will".

Concentrate superior forces to defeat a small portion of the enemy.

Link was mentally planning how to retaliate.

A burning rage raged within him.
