You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Upon hearing this, Elena and Irene exchanged a glance, and nodded as if confirming their suspicions.

Seeing this, Xi Luo decided to test their interest, so she rested her chin on her hand and asked with a smile, "Then tell me, what's wrong with it?"

"It's too complicated."

in unison.

In fact, whether it was the notes that Shiloh made in some books of magical theory or the knowledge in some classic magic books in the Wells family, they all told them one thing—"The more profound the knowledge, the more concisely it should be expressed."

Therefore, when they saw Tyren's meticulous and extremely detailed magic circle, their unified reaction was "cumbersome" and "too troublesome."

"Ha, it seems you've been learning quite effectively lately."

After praising him with a light laugh, Shiloh turned his gaze back to the blackboard and said, "Actually, as magic has developed to this day, it has gradually diverged into two main paths."

"One path is the traditional 'simple' path; the other is like this, which believes that any magic should be as rigorous and complex as possible, like a series of precise gears."

"I admit that the second path has its applications, such as achieving remarkable results in the inscription of runes on some magical tools. But..."

Shiloh smiled, and the gleam in his dark eyes intrigued Elena and Irene.

That was the first time they had seen the emotion called "pride" in Shiloh's eyes.

Just like Cecilia and Anya, when they talk about things related to battle, their eyes always reveal a kind of pride that belongs only to warriors.

Shiloh's arrogance was similar; it was the arrogance of someone with profound knowledge on the path to the ultimate mystery of magic.

"But what?"

Elena was captivated by the look in her lover's eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"But in the end, that kind of method is nothing more than a trick used by those who are not qualified enough to make up for their own shortcomings. Although their skills and theories are commendable, they have long been abandoned by true knowledge."

Xi Luo's expression remained calm, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

Compared to these insects, in a certain old game I played in my previous life, that person could be called a true seeker of knowledge.

He was a devout believer in knowledge—Tops.

Chapter 136 Shiloh's Super Force Field (3k)

That "useless stone" recognized by the magic academy later created the [Tops Force Field], which can reject all magic and prayers.

Such people are the true, devout seekers of knowledge.

While there are similar spells in this world, they all have rather high requirements for use.

What makes the Tops Force Field truly terrifying is that it can be transformed into "combat techniques" for people to use, and the conditions for learning it are extremely simple. Anyone with normal intelligence can learn it, and it consumes very little mental energy.

If such groundbreaking techniques were to become widespread, the world's combat dynamics would undergo a radical transformation.

Of course, if such a situation were to occur, the Wells family would be the first to be affected.

As the family with the longest magical heritage in the world, the Wells family's status will be severely damaged.

Therefore, Shiloh certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to completely replicate the Tops force field.

While the Topus Field's ability to deflect magic and prayers is indeed powerful, arguably a conceptual-level ability, its potential is ultimately not very high—because its activation requires an initial gesture.

Therefore, in order to raise the upper limit of this spell, Shiloh has recently been thinking about how to use the [Personalized Skill Setting System] to create an "advanced" Tops Force Field that can be automatically activated.

Based on the operating logic of the force field itself, other effects are added on top of it.

For example, the force field envelops incoming magic and prayers, causing them to bounce continuously within the relatively infinite internal force field space until the energy is exhausted.

The energy lost in this process will return to its most essential form and be stored in the force field.

Shiloh can then use the energy within the force field at any time, reconstructing this stored energy into any magic or prayer through his will, and then releasing it.

Although with the help of the [Personalized Skill Setting System], Shiloh can create spells with these effects whenever he wants.

However, the key issue is that, as an automatically operating spell, the amount of energy consumed to maintain its operation must be taken into account.

Even from Xiluo's initial conception, it's clear how much energy this spell consumes.

If you take it out and use it directly, it probably won't last more than a few seconds before all the extraordinary energy in your body is drained.

Shiloh twirled his pen. If Elena hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have bothered to even look at the thing Tyrion had made.

Looking at it will only pollute your own database.

But just as Shiloh was about to bend down to make textbook annotations for Elena and Irene, and to think about the problem of force field construction, Tyron's slightly provocative voice suddenly came from below the stage.

"Regarding my magical theories, what insights do you have, young master Sirlo, the heir of the Wells family who led the way back to the capital from Maple Leaf?"

wow——

When Tyronn bluntly mentioned Shiloh's name, the students below the stage widened their eyes and suddenly sensed a strong smell of gunpowder.

However, they were not surprised, after all, Tyron's father, Associate Professor Scoler, was a leading figure in the Second Theory.

Grand Duke Welsh is the leading figure in the "First Theory" and the entire field of magical studies, so there will inevitably be conflicts in research theories between the two.

Of course, as a competitor of the Duke of Wells, or even a competitor, it would be somewhat inappropriate. After all, a competitor is one who wins and loses, while a loser is merely a challenger. The Scholes family and the Wells family would inevitably have some minor frictions.

Back in elementary school, Tyron often challenged Shiloh in various ways, but like his father, he never won.

However, at that time, Shiloh had not yet unlocked his memories of his past life, so he was in a better mood and was considered a kind-hearted Shiloh. Therefore, even after defeating the aggressive Tyrion, he would just laugh it off.

However, for someone like Tyrion who considers himself a chosen one, the more Shiloh acts this way, the more humiliated he feels.

It's like trying your best to surpass your "arch-enemy," only to find out in the end that the other party didn't even consider you a worthy opponent—it's incredibly humiliating.

But on a noisy, rainy night, everything changed.

That arrogant and incompetent magical genius, the heir to the Wells family, Shiloh, is finished.

Even with a wealth of magical theories, what good is it?

No matter what, he was unable to unleash any powerful magic and would remain a useless person forever.

Although Shiloh has returned this time, Tyronn has also heard that Shiloh seems to have regained his talent.

However, magic is something that, if not used for a long time, will quickly become rusty, no matter how many theories you have in your mind.

Tyrion couldn't believe that Shiloh, who had been out of practice for so long, could surpass him, who had been studying magic day and night!

Hehehe...

come!

Let me answer!

Hahaha—! I'm afraid you can't even understand the magical framework I drew, can you?!

Tyron suppressed his inner excitement and laughed wildly, only showing a faint smile on his face.

Upon hearing Tyrone's provocative words, Shiloh raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this guy was truly persistent.

After patting Elena and Irene's thighs, Shiloh comforted the two girls whose faces had turned extremely gloomy. He then said "It was beautiful" and walked off the stage.

With his hands in his pockets, Xi Luo descended the steps with a leisurely pace, like a noble young master strolling through a courtyard. His composed and carefree demeanor made many young girls' eyes light up with admiration.

Walking to the podium, Shiloh didn't look at Tyren, but instead met Elmi's gaze. He then smiled and nodded, saying, "Teacher Elmi, it's been a long time. Your aura of wisdom is even stronger now."

"Oh? Hehe~ You flatter me..."

The moment Elmi's eyes met Shilo's, she felt as if she were completely seen through, and goosebumps rose on her back.

While inwardly marveling at how terrifying Shiloh's insight seemed, Elmi also sensed that his words were not mere pleasantries or praise, but rather conclusions drawn from objective observations.

Such words naturally made Elmi feel comfortable all over, and even her serious and stern face showed a little more of a smile.

Realizing that Shiloh seemed to be completely ignoring him, Tyron frowned, his fists clenched unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Just as he was about to shout, Shiloh looked up at the huge magic circle on the blackboard and said in a casual tone, "You're still the same as before, Tyron."

Tyrone was taken aback by what he heard, his mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to say. But what Shiloh said next made him furious.

"Still the same as before...boring."

Shiloh's words, coupled with his listless expression, pierced Tyrone's heart, causing him to shout angrily, "What did you say?!"

Shiloh shook his head, as if completely oblivious to the other's anger, and asked, "Coincidentally, since it's my first day back at school, how about we have an interesting 'practical lesson'? What do you think, Professor Elmi?"

Elmi raised an eyebrow; this was the first time Shilo had made such an outrageous request in class.

However, since the proposer was Shilo, Elmi was naturally very interested and wanted to see what he was going to do, so she nodded and left the huge stage to him and Tyrone.

"The essence of magic lies in a rigorous and meticulous framework of connections. Based on this theoretical framework, any desired theoretical state can be superimposed upon it without limitation. You should be quite familiar with the main content of the Second Theory, right?"

Shiloh recited precisely the theory that the new school of magic scholars regarded as the gold standard, then pointed at Tyron and said with a half-smile, "I'll give you time to try and attack me with your proud 'magical constructs'."

"If you can force me off the stage, then you win."

Having said that, Shiloh stood at the edge of the podium, the meaning of which was self-evident.

This approach almost explicitly states, "You can't make me waver even a step."

Enraged by this blatant disrespect, Tyron blushed and laughed in fury: "Fine, fine, you'll pay for your arrogance, Shiloh!"

With Elmi watching over him, Tyren wasn't worried about anything going wrong, so he decisively took out a magic book from his personal space and focused on constructing it.

As mages of the Second Theory, Tyren place greater emphasis on enhancing and upgrading their spellcasting equipment. Compared to ordinary equipment that enhances spellcasting speed and power, their equipment focuses more on accelerating the caster's thought process and speeding up the construction process.

Like a heavy artillery piece that needs to be loaded with shells, it has a relatively slow start-up time but is extremely powerful.

Therefore, the generally accepted way to deal with mages of the "Second Theory" is to eliminate them as quickly as possible through assassination, surprise attacks, or other means, rather than waiting for them to unleash their magic.

As Tyron conjured up one profound fire magic circle after another, the intense heat and power of which made the other students below the stage tremble with fear. Even Elmi, standing by the podium, was a little nervous, wondering if Shilo had been too overconfident.

However, seeing that Xi Luo's expression remained unchanged, and even the boredom in his dark eyes increased, Elmi's curiosity was piqued again, and she secretly wondered how he would deal with the situation.

"Is it built yet? That's incredibly slow."

Shiloh yawned and crossed his arms listlessly.

Seeing that Shiloh was completely unprepared, Tyron sneered, his chanting abruptly stopped, and the terrifying magic circle was completed at that moment.

roar--!!

A raging fire dragon roared out from the magic circle, its mouth wide open in crimson flames, ready to swallow Shilo whole!

Chapter 137 Irene: Too Low in Spicy! (3k views, going live tomorrow)

Facing the menacing fire dragon, Xi Luo smiled slightly, and then snapped his fingers in front of everyone.

Snapped--

A snap of the fingers, a simple snap, produced a crisp sound.

But the next moment, something astonishing happened.

The magic circle that summoned the fire dragon suddenly stopped working, as if a fine gear had been jammed and could no longer move.

"Things that are considered sophisticated are often synonymous with being fragile and delicate, aren't they?"

With a smile, Shiloh lowered his hand and put it back in his pocket.

Click—!

A crisp cracking sound rang out. At that moment, cracks appeared out of thin air in the meticulously crafted magic circle, and they continued to expand and spread until finally turning into fine dust and collapsing completely.

？ ！！

The scene unfolding before their eyes caused everyone to widen their eyes in disbelief and abruptly stand up from their seats.

"How...how is this possible?!"

"How could the intricate magic circle that Tyron constructed vanish in an instant—?!"

Not only the students below, but even Tyron himself showed a shocked expression, his pupils contracted, and he was shaking uncontrollably.

impossible……

Absolutely impossible!!

Tyren gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and unleashed a massive surge of extraordinary energy, pouring it all into the magic book. This caused the heavy book to shine brightly, and the complex array patterns, so intricate that they would make anyone dizzy just by looking at them, seemed to come alive, dancing wildly as the pages were turned.

boom--!!

An astonishing magical reaction erupted, seemingly threatening to rip the entire roof off.

However, the buildings of the Lorthen Magic Academy are made of special materials and have undergone special treatment, and their minimum strength is able to withstand a full-force attack from the [Erosion Rank], so Elmi is not worried.

Gold, red, blue...

A complex array of elemental magic circles surrounded Shiloh, and as they spun at high speed, they created a terrifying chain of magic arrays, one after another!
