Divine Mastering Dragon System

C24 – Was the Sorcerer Really That Strong?

“Hiss!”

“An Ice Type Mage!”

“He’s already wielded fire and wind, and now he’s surprising us with a rare Ice Type! Who exactly is this man?”

“Why would someone of his caliber be expelled from the Imperial City?”

The merchants and nobles exchanged bewildered glances as the battle unfolded in a completely lopsided manner.

After immobilizing half of Jiaang Guangran’s body in ice, Choo Qin’s chilling presence advanced toward the mages who had attacked him, causing their spells to be interrupted and backfire.

“Humph! Choo Qin! Don’t think you can do whatever you please just because you’re royalty. What does it matter if you’re an Ice Type Mage? If you’re brave enough, kill me!”

Jiaang Guangran’s eyes were bloodshot. The welcome party he had orchestrated was now entirely beyond his control.

Far from subduing Choo Qin, he had utterly lost face.

He was bordering on madness, spewing curses uncontrollably and completely forsaking the decorum expected of a noble.

“Do you honestly believe I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

Choo Qin regarded Jiaang Guangran with an icy stare as an Icicle formed in his grasp.

Suddenly, from Choo Qin’s detached gaze, Jiaang Guangran realized the gravity of his predicament.

Choo Qin was indeed willing to kill him!

The entire hall fell into a hushed silence, with not a soul daring to utter a sound.

“Qin Royal Highness, surely you’ve had your fill of amusement? Some actions are simply too excessive.”

Amidst the palpable fear, an aged voice emerged.

A shadowy grey figure materialized, and with a sweep of his hands, the icy encasements began to thaw, and Choo Qin’s wall of fire gradually dissipated.

To everyone’s astonishment, it was a Sorcerer!

“It’s the esteemed Elder of the Rain Listening Pavilion! Elder Qiao!”

A wave of relief and cheers swept through the crowd. Many had pinned their hopes on Elder Qiao.

Though not of the old guard, Elder Qiao was an Almighty summoned by the Jiaang family to preside over the Rain Listening Pavilion. His absence had led many to assume he was otherwise engaged.

The last time the Pavilion faced turmoil, Elder Qiao single-handedly vanquished eight High Level Mages. For three years since, no one had dared to stir trouble here.

Now, with Elder Qiao’s arrival, the onlookers’ gazes softened with sympathy as they turned towards Choo Qin.

Elder Qiao was not a citizen of the Qilin Empire! He had no regard for Choo Qin’s status as a noble and would not hesitate to kill him if he wished!

“Oh? What constitutes as excessive? I hardly think my actions qualify.”

“Shouldn’t you be welcoming me? I see no issue in collecting a small welcome fee, do you?”

“At your age, it’s best not to put on airs. You wouldn’t want to meet an untimely end.”

“I’ve waited for you for so long. Must I really harm so many before you decide to act? Is it enjoyable for you to just sit back and watch?”

Choo Qin shrugged his shoulders, looking amusedly at the grey-clad elder.

He had been aware of the Sorcerer’s presence for some time, but the elder had been hesitant to engage. Choo Qin felt it would be impolite to force the issue.

Yet, in Choo Qin’s eyes, the Sorcerer had already been marked as easy prey.

This was like a treasure trove of skills!

Elder Qiao’s eyes bulged. He had assumed that the younger man would back down at the sight of a Sorcerer.

But Choo Qin showed no inclination to defer to him.

What was this about dying by accident?

That hit a nerve for Qiao Guan.

He had been stuck as an eighth-level Sorcerer for nearly a decade, and with his life drawing to a close, a breakthrough was essential to avoid the fate of old age.

“Come on then! Less talk, more action, especially at your age. I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Rest assured, I’ll spare your dignity. Three moves—will that suffice? I’ll have you defeated within three moves.”

Choo Qin kept up his taunting stance towards Elder Qiao. After all, he held no fondness for the Jiaang family.

A bit more provocation might reveal even stronger skills, and then he could pursue a Sorcerer’s certification.

Wouldn’t that be delightful?
