Chapter 177 - Proud
Compared to all those young Senior Magi who had surrounded them, Taisi was much scrawnier, shorter, and also weaker, just like a sheep that was surrounded by a group of bears. Whether it was body shape or sense of powers, those young senior Magi could completely crush Taisi. No one doubted that any of those young Senior Magi could blow Taisi’s head off with only one finger.
However, facing the boy who attempted to sneak attack Ji Hao, Taisi gritted his teeth and stretched his armed, shielding Ji Hao without any hesitation. He straightened his waist and his eyes shined with two spots of bright lights in his hollowed eye sockets; although he seemed incredibly weak, but at this moment, he released a sense of power that was almost as strong as the one who was launching the sneak attack.
But that was only the sense of power.
The boy who had leapt into the air and bent his fingers into dragon claw shapes briefly paused then let out a vicious smile. Streams of flames spurted out from all ten of his fingertips - the silent sneak attack had turned into a fierce frontal attack, which had a vast effect, just like an angry dragon dashing out of the sea and madly launching out attacks.
The air within miles around, became suddenly scorching hot. The boy grinned hideously and said, “Taisi, you useless thing! You have sought this out for yourself! Haha, your sister Shaosi can’t blame me for beating you too hard no matter how, because you asked for this yourself!”
The ten fingers of the boy buckled on Taisi’s joints within a blink of eyes, right after which, Yao Kaiyuan shouted out in anger.
“Trash him!!”
The boy’s eyes instantly became cold and cruel, initially he had only intended to make fun of Taisi; punching many times, causing a few of his bones to break and make him suffer. But now, raging fire streams suddenly darted out from his palms. As Yao Kaiyuan had shouted, this boy directly launched a deadly attack. He had activated his Spirit Magic Flame, intending to burn Taisi’s limbs and destroy his meridians, which would completely ruin his future as a Magus.
The Magi Palace was powerful and with great potential for a genius like Ji Hao, who was valued by those elders; he was allowed to access all kinds of resources limitlessly. However, the Magi Palace was also cold and cruel for apprentices like Taisi, who were not as good as the others. If they were trashed in fights between apprentices, all the Magi Palace would do was letting them stay there peacefully for the rest of their lives, but the Magi Palace would not waste another pill or magic medicine on them.
The flame, exploding out from the boy’s palms, was raging and bright, containing sparkling golden light spots. This was one of the features of the True Dragon Magic Flame, which was possessed only by the Fire Dragon Clan. Those golden light spots contained power of real dragons that had been inherited by the Fire Dragon Clan. The powers of real dragons were fierce, violent, and were able to destroy everything in the entire world.
Anger began to rise in Ji Hao’s heart. They all were apprentices of the Magi Palace, no one possessed higher status than the others. But those boys were attempting to disable an innocent person for no reason, how dare they?! Did these Fire Dragon Clan people truly see themselves as gods, who were allowed to rule the lives of others?!
Taisi took a deep breath, then he puffed out his hollowed chest towards the boy’s fiery palms.
Every following move happened within a single moment, and Taisi had only enough time to yell two words in a high-pitched voice.
“Ji Hao! Watch out!”
Ji Hao growled out while swinging his black dagger upwards. The black dagger sliced the air and left a faint-blood-red beam of light in the air. Spell symbols that ignited fire sparks lit up on the dagger’s edge and Ji Hao raised the dagger high, then gently sliced down along an arc.
“Wanna trash Taisi? I’ll trash you first!” growled Ji Hao harshly in a deep voice, while the black dagger suddenly reached the boy’s palms. An arc-shaped light stream that was generated by the [Sky Opening] magically flashed up to the boy’s face through the slight gap between his two palms. The beam of light flashed in front of the boy, then split into two. Both shoulders of the boy simultaneously spurted blood streams, and he let out a loud howl, while fleeing embarrassedly backwards.
Along with two thudded sounds, both arms of the boy fell onto the ground with a sphere of golden-red flame attached to each of them, burning and sizzling his arms. About three to five breaths later, both arms of the boy had been burned into fiery light spheres, quickly dissipating after that in the air.
