The Genius Mage

Chapter 147: The First Trial

“This sounds too dangerous, and it’s all down to luck.” Hera was a little worried. “If we encounter a Demon Beast that we can’t defeat, what should we do? Are we only going to die?”

Jill advised her, “Don’t think so much. After all, the teacher is by our side. Even if we are in danger, the teacher will definitely save us in time.”

Hera nodded reluctantly. Her pretty little face was full of worry. “Then let’s hope so.”

Carlisle raised her hand gently. Soon, someone came over with a wooden box and stood in front of everyone.

“Since this trial is decided by drawing lots, the number we get depends on luck. Let me see your true strength, little guys.” Carlisle’s smile was unbridled and ostentatious.

For a moment, everyone was panicking, afraid that they would get the first draw.

After all, in such a trial, they did not know anything about what they were facing. Therefore, the higher the number they got, the more dangerous they would be.

“I hope I don’t get the first draw, or else I’ll really be sending myself to my death.”

“What’s the secret of subdued beasts? Don’t tell me you want to fight them and let them tame them?”

“I don’t really know, but I heard that someone can tame a Demon Beast through its habits. Isn’t this a little too difficult for us who only know how to fight with our combat aura?”

Everyone was very worried about the situation they would have to face next.

Soon, the drawing of lots began.

After all 25 people had drawn their lots, the order that everyone had was displayed above their heads.

Hera looked at the 3 on her head, so nervous that she was on the verge of crying.

“Why am I a 3? What should I do? I really don’t know anything about subdued beasts.”

Audrey comforted her, “Don’t worry. Under such circumstances, the beasts that we have are usually very friendly. As long as we don’t do anything too excessive, they won’t take the initiative to hurt us.”

“Really?” Hera raised her arms to hug Audrey and sobbed, “If I accidentally die at the mouth of the beast, you must remember to collect my corpse.”

Audrey knocked her head with a cold face, “How can that be? If you believe in yourself, don’t say such things.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the person who drew number 1 quickly stood in the open space of the colosseum.

Audrey knew him. He was the son of a side family member of the Fairlie family. Due to his high talent, he was quite famous among his peers.

“Alright, then it’s time to begin. I hope everyone is mentally prepared because you don’t know what kind of monsters you will face.” Carlisle’s face was full of smiles.

Francis’s legs were already beginning to tremble uncontrollably. He raised his trembling eyes to look at the pile of pitch-black archways at the side as if some incredible monster could come out of it in the next second.

Very soon, an ear-piercing cry came from a door in the east.

Everyone present held their breaths and looked straight ahead.

A bird covered in red feathers came out from the arch and let out a long howl to the sky. Even when its wings flapped, one could see the obvious flames.

“Flame bird! Isn’t that a flame bird?”

“Oh my god, I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.”

“It’s rumored that all bird-type Demon Beasts are very arrogant. How do we tame them?”

People were very worried about what Francis would do. As expected, after the appearance of the flame bird, Francis clearly became a lot more flustered.

The flame bird did not give him any face at all. It immediately opened its beak and spat out a pillar of fire. Francis used his combat aura to form a shield to block it, barely managing to receive this attack.

The two sides quickly engaged in a fight. Although Francis was already a level-12 fighter, it still took a lot of energy to fight against a mid-level Demon Beast like the flame bird.

For a moment, the field was covered in flames. Francis had injured the flame bird’s wings, so angry that the other party had turned the entire colosseum into a fiery hell.

The temperature inside was extremely high. Even the people sitting on the viewing platform could feel the scorching temperature. One could imagine how uncomfortable Francis was inside.

“Tier-1 technique, Shocking Wind Slash!”

A furious roar sounded from the middle of the flames. The originally dense wall of fire was suddenly slashed open, and the flames immediately dissipated.

Francis stood in the middle and panted heavily. Clearly, he did not expect that this Demon Beast would be so difficult to deal with.

After all, he trained in Dou Qi and was not very good at long-range attacks. Unfortunately, this flame bird was not only in the sky, but it also spat out fire-type magic, causing him to struggle every time he fought.

The flame bird was almost injured by this attack and was clearly anxious. The temperature in the arena also rose by a few degrees.

Seeing that the other party was about to use a big move, Francis was afraid that he would be injured by this move, so he directly stood on the spot, intending to use his ultimate skill.

When Francis was at home, he had once learned a level-3 Dou technique. However, because this Dou technique consumed too much Dou Qi, every time he used it, his entire body would be weak and he would need a very long time to recover.

It was precisely because of this that Francis had always used this Dou technique as a sure-kill technique.

It seemed that he had to use it this time.

“Tier-3 Dou technique, Gale Break!”

Immediately after, the entire arena was engulfed by a wave of fierce Dou Qi. Everyone had to keep their eyes shut due to the power and wind blowing.
