Chapter 251: Stirring Up Wind

Luo Qi grew tense; suddenly, he detected a surge of energy within Du Zhengyi's Yajian, and his heart leaped into his throat. He knew this surely meant Du Zhengyi was using Magic. Although the dosage was not large, watching the magma churning within that scorching Volcano still felt shocking. Who knew if what was burning inside that Volcano right now was Du Zhengyi's life?

His Ghost Legion was constantly relaying the surrounding situation to him, and he knew the type of Magic Du Zhengyi was using almost instantly. He wanted to disperse the thick fog in the courtyard, and Luo Qi immediately thought that Du Zhengyi would next find a way to use Light Magic, just as he had done in the back mountains of the Guan Family.

Luo Qi suddenly sobered up; ever since he learned he was a Mind Mage, he had become too reliant on this method to solve problems. If it worked, he was immediately imposing, but once it failed, he was the first to be left bewildered.

Fortunately, the passage of time in the world Luo Qi occupied was not synchronized with Du Zhengyi's reality, so he hurriedly extracted relevant Magic from the Ghosts of the Society. Fortunately, part of the purpose for these Ghosts' existence was to preserve knowledge for the Society. Luo Qi extracted Weather Magic; theoretically, he had studied this type of Magic too, but he could not guarantee he remembered it all. This was simply the difference in difficulty between an open-book exam and a closed-book exam.

Now, he hurriedly crammed the Weather Magic into his brain. Although the thick fog had been conjured up by a group of Mages together, the weather factors were very favorable right now, as a south wind had already picked up. Luo Qi hurriedly conjured up wind as well, and with his time advantage, the wind he started was only a little later than Du Zhengyi's.

However, the difference between theory and practice was manifested significantly here. Du Zhengyi steadily controlled the wind, generating it gradually and moving it along the direction of the natural wind. When Luo Qi started his wind, he did not pay attention to the wind direction, but it was not a big problem, because the wind he started was not strong, had no impact, and served no purpose.

Du Zhengyi was meticulously using the wind to gradually blow away the thick fog, fully focused and very serious; he was not distracted by what Luo Qi was doing, and he had no time to instruct him.

Seeing that his efforts were not working, Luo Qi grew a bit anxious, thinking that the wind direction was not that important anyway. Since this was a town with wild fields on three sides, it would be fine as long as the fog was blown out. This was like stoking a fire in a stove; if you are in a hurry, you fan it hard. Luo Qi put in great effort, using almost all his energy to generate this wind, and he had no time to spare to calculate any wind direction.

Now he understood the difference between himself and Du Zhengyi. It was not that he was bad at Calculation or that his math was poor; he simply could not keep his cool and could not calculate parameters when a powerful enemy was pressing in. He released the Magic in one burst, without considering the shapes of the surrounding buildings or the original wind direction. Du Zhengyi was adjusting the wind direction, calculating how to use the least amount of power to remove the thick fog as quickly as possible, when suddenly, a black wind swept across the world, sending sand and stones flying, tearing tiles off roofs, and colliding with the original airflow to form a whirlwind. To put it broadly, it was almost a tornado.

Du Zhengyi was speechless and relaxed the power in his hands. The situation was urgent, yet he still wanted to scold Luo Qi, "Are you supposed to be the demon appearing in Journey to the West?"

Luo Qi had no time to speak at all; only now did he discover that releasing Magic was actually not difficult, but controlling it was.
