317. Chapter 317 Breakthrough Point

Is that so?

Kawell. Ludwile didn't seem to grasp Lady Lyzandra's true intention.

Yeah!

Lady Lyzandra wouldn't easily pass up this good opportunity; she continued her sarcasm, "Truly wise, simply brilliant! Keep sending more, the Michel Grand Sage Tower will surpass the Supreme Council—it's only a matter of time."

Hehe... Our Grand Sage Tower's development over the years can't even come close to your Rui Wo Suo Si Academy.

Kawell. Ludwile's eyes flashed cold, but he chuckled and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard Waters failed to promote again this time? How many times has this been? You still haven't found a solution?"

So what?

Lady Lyzandra's lips twitched slightly as she said, "My older brother succeeded in his promotion."

Rodrigo promoted to seventh-level wizard, becoming a Grand Sage?

Kawell. Ludwile exclaimed in surprise, hardly able to believe it.

Before this, there had been no indication whatsoever; it was truly too sudden.

Whether it's the news released by the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy or the intelligence gathered by the Michel Grand Sage Tower, it has always been Suo Si, the Grand Sage, attempting to advance to eighth-level wizard, and Waters, a sixth-level sage, attempting to advance to seventh-level wizard.

There wasn't even a hint of news about Rodrigo Diomande.

After the outburst, Kawell. Ludwile quickly forced himself to calm down and smiled, "Congratulations, your strength has advanced further."

Thank you.

Lady Lyzandra graciously accepted their reluctant congratulations.

The stronger the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy becomes, the greater the impact on the prestige of the Michel Grand Sage Tower in the Michel District.

Before the news of Rodrigo Diomande's promotion to seventh-level Grand Sage broke, they had already, through various means, forced the Grand Sage Tower to reluctantly step down from its lofty position and become involved in a struggle for interests it shouldn't have been part of.

This has greatly shaken the Grand Sage Tower's aloof status.

Now Lady Lyzandra has deliberately informed them of this, simply wanting to pressure the Grand Sage Tower again.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make.

When the Grand Sage Tower pushes the top wizard organizations in the Michel District to the point they can no longer tolerate it, that's when the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy will rise to the occasion.

Lady Lyzandra recalled her brother Freest's plan, her heart surged, and she immediately sensed something was off.

She first employed the True Spirit Wizard's forte to clear her thoughts and block the surging memories, then she fiercely glared at Kawell. Ludwile and sneered, "Is this how the Michel Grand Sage Tower treats its guests? I've learned my lesson."

After saying that, Lady Lyzandra's face darkened, and she flicked her sleeves and left.

Kawell. Ludwile then rose to his feet, seeing her off in silence.

After seeing Lady Lyzandra off, Kawell returned to the reception room, his face gloomy as he sat for a while.

I didn't do it on purpose.

A soft, delicate voice broke the frozen silence in the meeting room.

Is that so?

Kawell silently gazed at the young witch who had mysteriously appeared in the meeting room, timidly standing before him, and asked in a strange tone, "When have you ever made a mistake on purpose?"

Please don't be angry, okay?

The young witch picked at her fingers, her voice growing ever more feeble, her tone pleading.

Do I have the right to be angry?

Kawell calmly retorted, "The Fletcher Domingo Sage of the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy frankly said I'm not a member of the Michel family, so I cannot represent the Grand Sage Tower in making final decisions on major matters. You say, do I have the right to be angry at you, the Michel family's pearl?"

That's not the case.

The young witch lifted her head, her doe-like eyes welling with tears, "My grandfather, father, uncles, and several brothers all value you greatly."

Is that so?

Kawell didn't continue the previous topic, instead concluding with a question and shifting the conversation: "Do you know that Lyzandra Diomande is a sixth-level sage specializing in the True Spirit Wizard system? Why are you still trying to influence her cognition and probe her memory? Don't you realize that if it weren't for being in the Grand Sage Tower, she would have killed you on the spot!"

That old woman's words are so annoying! She's been mocking you, I couldn't stand it, so...

You just wanted to give her a lesson?

Hmm.

Did it succeed?

No.

The young witch shook her head, eyes brimming with tears, and lowered her head in dejection.

Kawell remained unmoved, merely gazing indifferently at the young witch whose age wasn't much younger than Lady Lyzandra's, his mood subtle and dark.

Suddenly, Kawell shifted his gaze, turning his head toward the 10 o'clock direction.

At that moment, his gaze pierced through many obstacles, seeing Linke Grand alone, blocking the Michel Grand Sage Tower's negotiation team.

Anything up?

Kawell's deputy, a fifth-level sage of the Grand Sage Tower, was not present.

The one who spoke up was a fourth-level sage.

You didn't want me to make a report and face questioning, did you? Here I am.

Linke ignored the aura emanating from the fourth-level sage's eyes, looked at the third-level wizard who had proposed this, and coldly said, "You want to challenge me? Fine, let's fight; if you win, you can question me as you please."

The fourth-level sage was infuriated by Linke's attitude, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to strike first, to teach a lesson to that disrespectful scoundrel from the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy.

Hey, no way, no way? Has the Michel Grand Sage Tower sunk to the point of only daring to bully the weak?

Kody Sage's figure suddenly appeared beside the fourth-level sage of the Grand Sage Tower, speaking with a sarcastic tone, "No wonder lately they haven't dared to clash with the other forces in the Duo Duo Greater Region; instead they've turned their sights on the wizard organizations within the region."

As his words fell, Kody Sage directly dragged the fourth-level sage of the Grand Sage Tower into the Void Realm suitable for sage-level wizard duels.

The so-called Void Realm is actually a mirror space temporarily constructed by sage-level wizards with the aid of the Wizard World's will.

No matter how fiercely they fight inside, it will not cause damage to the real world.

Are you all coming at me together, ganging up on me one-on-one, or should I take you all on by myself?

Lin Ke gave a contemptuous smile, behaving especially arrogantly.

The three remaining wizards of the Great Sage Tower negotiation team all changed color in alarm.

This is openly looking down on them.

"Yikes! How did they start fighting?"

In the reception room, the young witch followed Kaoweier's gaze and looked over, also seeing this scene, and exclaimed in doubt.

"How could Lisangdel Di Aomande be the type to swallow her anger? If that were truly the case, she wouldn't have decisively divorced back then, taking her daughter and returning from the Central Lands to the West Coast!"

Kaoweier patiently explained.

The young witch seemed to finally understand why the Auspicious Fertile Seek Think Academy suddenly provoked.

"So what should we do now? Should we stop them?"

The young witch blinked her eyes, bewildered asking, "It seems like the three of them combined probably can't beat that Linke Grand, right?" Saying that, the young witch then voiced another doubt: "Eh, is that Linke Grand still considered a second-rank witch?"

"If you want to overthrow the traditional witch rank division of the witch world and the authority of the Supreme Council, then he wouldn't be considered a second-rank witch."

Kaoweier replied in this manner.

"Ah?"

The young witch furrowed her brows, somewhat puzzled, "What does this have to do with the Supreme Council's authority?"

Kaoweier lightly said: "Because the witch rank division standard, although not formulated by the Supreme Council, is promoted by the Supreme Council."

"Oh, I see."

The young witch nodded, indicating she understood, then shouted, "They really started fighting!"

Kaoweier didn't speak further.

He had been keeping an eye on the situation's developments, and naturally saw Linke Grand launch an attack first after not receiving a response.

The battle started very suddenly and ended very quickly.

Without any scruples, and also feeling somewhat annoyed because he had been provoked before the negotiations ended today, Lin Ke's subordinates, with full combat power, the three remaining wizards of the Great Sage Tower negotiation team—a first-rank witch, a second-rank witch, and a third-rank witch—actually couldn't withstand three moves.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute.

The first-rank witch was frightened by Lin Ke's obscure 3rd-ring witchcraft of the True Spirit Witch System, "Silent as a Cicada," cast through his gaze, and ended up cowering on the ground, tears and snot streaming, a sorry sight.

The second-rank witch was closed in on by Lin Ke, who wore attack-mode battle armor and teleported close via shape-shifting and shadow replacement, then a plain straight punch slammed into her cheek.

Spiritual power, magical power, and the source force of his innate witchcrafts "Battle Armor" and "Mini World" were quadruple-amplified, and in the blink of an eye, the second-rank witch was beaten like a dead dog into unconsciousness.

Thanks to the preceding time as a buffer, the third-rank witch reacted in time, making preparations for defense and gathering her offensive witchcraft.

However, Lin Ke switched his battle armor mode in the flash of an instant, instantly shifting from full offense to full defense, forcibly withstanding the third-rank witch's offensive witchcraft and closing in.

His self-created 3rd-ring compound witchcraft "Heaven-Slaying Sword" was unleashed.

He grasped a massive two-handed sword out of thin air and brought it down on the third-rank witch's head at dozens of times the speed of sound.

Combining the traits of the 3rd-ring witchcrafts "Extreme High-Frequency Vibration" and "Extreme High-Temperature Cutting," if the "Heaven-Slaying Sword" truly struck this third-rank witch, it could take her life in an instant.

Fortunately, the third-rank witch withdrew in time, losing only a finger and suffering no major injury.

Lin Ke, seeing that enough was enough, didn't pursue further, lifted his foot and crushed the fallen finger to dust, solemnly warning: "From now on, just speak; don't point at people with your finger all the time—that's impolite."

As his words fell, Lin Ke intended to turn and leave the scene.

A young witch suddenly appeared on his necessary path, blocking him.

Lin Ke's instinctive frenzy alarm went off; he dared not be careless, immediately distancing himself and preparing for full defense.

The threat posed by this young witch before him was no different from that of Fletcher Domingo the Sage.

A fifth-rank Sage right in front of him, Lin Ke certainly couldn't afford to be careless.

At the same time, he mentally instructed Fulandu to stand ready to enter the fairy world at any moment, reverse-summon, and light-speed transition.

"Don't mess around."

Kaoweier Ludveer's figure appeared just in time, stopping the young witch who was about to move to teach Linke Grand a lesson.

"Hmph!"

The young witch stomped her foot, but she really took it to heart and dismissed her thoughts.

"You're not bad; you have strength and also know your limits."

Kaoweier looked at Lin Ke and unexpectedly began to praise: "Young people like you who are ambitious yet not overly ostentatious, and not listless, are rare. Consider coming over to our Mixie'er Great Sage Tower?"

Mid-sentence, Kaoweier unexpectedly, in front of the two Sages of the Auspicious Fertile Seek Think Academy, extended an invitation to Lin Ke.

In their respective unfolded void domains, the fourth-rank Sage and fifth-rank Sage of the Great Sage Tower negotiation team were held back; Ke Di Sage and Fletcher Domingo, upon hearing this, were utterly speechless.

Saying this to their faces, was it intentional?

Is this meant to provoke Lady Lisangdel Di Aomande, who earlier suddenly approached the delegation members and demanded they give the Great Sage Tower negotiation team's witches a good lesson?

As expected, Lady Lisangdel Di Aomande hidden in the shadows revealed herself.

She first glanced at the three Great Sage Tower witches easily defeated by Linke Grand, letting out a few contemptuous clicks, then faced the young witch's slightly angry gaze, carefully sized up her flatness, and finally spoke solemnly to Kaoweier.

"With your Mixie'er Great Sage Tower's system, can you really cultivate a super-genius like Linke Grand?"

"You don't have that ability, do you?"

"I advise you to think hard about how to bypass the Mixie'er family's blood-sucking, and properly reform the Mixie'er Great Sage Tower's system to cultivate your own talents."

Having said that, venting her anger, feeling refreshed, Lady Lisangdel Di Aomande grandly waved her hand: "Let's go."

After speaking, Lady Lisangdel Di Aomande pulled Linke Grand into the void from afar, and immediately appeared at the lodging arranged by the Great Sage Tower for the delegation of the Auspicious Fertile Seek Think Academy.

Fletcher Domingo and Ke Di Sage's figures appeared right after.

"Rest separately, continue negotiations tomorrow."

Lady Lisangdel Di Aomande lightly gave an order, then vanished once more.

The traceless coming and going method made Lin Ke quite envious.

Although he can teleport, shift shape, and move swiftly while hidden even in the starry sky, he cannot achieve such effortless ease, utterly devoid of any worldly aura.

"You performed very well just now, Lin Ke."

Sage Ke Di walked up to Lin Ke, reviewed the previous battle, and then said earnestly,

"That's how the wizard world is: strength is supreme."

The Tower of the Great Sage Michelle wants to use you as a breakthrough in negotiations, to stir up something, thereby achieving their negotiation goals.

You should demonstrate your strength, let them weigh whether it's worth continuing to use you as a bargaining chip.

After a pause, Sage Ke Di emphasized: "However, this approach must be based on constantly protecting yourself; you must never be careless and give the enemy an opportunity."

Sage Fu Lai Che. Duo Ming Ge interjected, adding: "Sage Wo Te Si, a sage of my generation whose talent is no less than yours, failed to protect himself, thus delaying his promotion to seventh-rank wizard; take him as a warning."

Lin Ke listened earnestly to the advice of his two seniors, took it to heart, and said sincerely:

"Thank you!"
