Chapter 1074: Are Geniuses Outside the World Like This?
“No! Xiao Liu! Don’t do anything foolish!”
Just as that Blood Clan member took the contract I tossed over, a figure suddenly emerged from the Void.
With the appearance of that figure, it seemed to open the curtain, and several more figures appeared.
These witches had learned about the news here and came with a mindset of watching the show, but the number was not large compared to that time in the Rosens Wilderness, and it was quite a bit less.
I turned my head, and among the crowd of witches, I didn’t see my sister’s figure, and I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
If it were Sister Bai… I think she would support me.
However, the emergence of these Extraordinary Witches instantly made the atmosphere around the Blood Clan’s affiliated academy very tense.
The students in the combat sequence also stopped their spells.
But they weren’t too shocked; instead, they were excited!
At this moment, a mentor had appeared to support them, so they had completely no worries!
Although they had followed Sister Xiao Liu here, facing the Extraordinary certainly left them with some reservations.
But now it was different.
However, many students seemed unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
And the witch who appeared first was one I was quite familiar with because she was Deina, the extraordinary witch who had opened so many Witch Cat Cafés at the Witch Academy.
She was also the good witch who had given up her dreams to provide them with a job!
“Don’t be so excited, sisters! I appreciate your concern.”
I looked at the crowd of witches and then spoke again: “But if you act worried, it makes me seem very weak.”
“It’s not that we don’t believe in you, Xiao Han, but the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary is insurmountable! Don’t underestimate the extraordinary just because of one victory…” Deina hesitated but eventually offered her advice.
“It’s okay; I will prove it.” Just as I was finishing my words, a surge of contract binding power burst forth from me!
“Tsk tsk~ It looks like someone has already made a choice. Sisters, don’t advise her anymore.” I took on an expression as if the outcome was already determined and then looked toward a specific spot in space.
There, Sister Bai walked out from the hidden space under my gaze.
“Even if you don’t believe in me, you should trust Sister Bai, who knows me very well, right?”
The witches all turned to look at the recently appeared Bai Yu. The witches present knew the relationship between Bai Yu and Xiao Han, but they found that Bai Yu had no intention of stopping her.
Facing the gaze of so many witches, Bai Yu looked at me with complex emotions and then firmly said, “Everyone… I believe in Xiao Han.”
With those words, the witches fell silent.
The atmosphere remained tense until the extraordinary of the Blood Clan broke the silence: “I say… do you witches still want this contract to be valid? She threw this contract herself!”
The blood clan member who signed the contract stepped forward, none other than the one with a bad attitude earlier; he was there to represent the signing of the contract.
“I never said it was invalid.” I turned to face this blood clan member, scanning him up and down, before speaking again: “Sisters are just worried about me, and I’m grateful they are willing to help, but I also need to prove something to them… I may lack combat experience, but that doesn’t mean my combat strength is lacking.”
“Heh… Do you know you’re doing something very foolish?” The blood clan member didn’t care about that; if he could kill this little witch this time, at least he wouldn’t have to take the blame, and he might even get a reward!
As for losing?
He hadn’t even considered it!
“Do you know? Once a betraying witch told me: the stage of the main world…
is too small, not suitable for me… But when I looked above the extraordinary, I realized it wasn’t small at all.”
“Arrogant!”
Just two words, and the pressure was apparent.
The students retreated, realizing only then what was happening.
The little teaching assistant before them was actually going to engage in a life-and-death duel with an extraordinary being!
That was an extraordinary mentor! Many of them had seen the combat power of mentors and knew they could easily overpower them.
Even if the one challenging wasn’t an extraordinary witch but an extraordinary blood clan member… still, the inherent impression of the extraordinary as unbeatable had deeply rooted itself in their minds.
Only the extraordinary could defeat the extraordinary, no exceptions.
They instinctively pulled back; when extraordinary beings fought, even the aftermath could injure them.
At that moment, an entire Blood Clan affiliated academy, in front of the piled-up Blood Chapel, had become a natural center for battle.
“How do you want to fight? Although your contract doesn’t specify time, place, or method, as an extraordinary, I don’t disdain taking advantage of a little witch.” “Of course, it’s an unrestricted battle; if it’s a life-and-death match, is there that much discomfort in constraints?” I said naturally.
“Ah, killing oneself isn’t done like this; you announce the start of the battle! So you can’t claim I sneak attacked you.”
Actually, the battle had already begun the moment the contract was signed; it had just been you hesitating. Since you want me to start, then… let’s begin.
As soon as I finished speaking, invisible blood spikes instantly gathered and, in the blink of an eye, pierced through my body!
Accompanied by a “dudu—” sound, a dozen blood spikes ended the match just like that.
“Dead… dead?!”
Everyone present looked at this scene in disbelief, as if everything had flipped too quickly.
Before the emotions of the crowd and witches could erupt, with the flicker of magic, I restored myself to my original state.
“So fast an attack… For the first time, someone has injured me to the degree that I could barely react; is this the strike from the extraordinary that penetrates into true brightness?” At that moment, I appeared to remember too late, looking as if I was about to choke to death.
However, this was just a facade I was putting on.
Only I knew how perilous that last strike had been. Without the enhancement of body cultivation’s sense of time, the extraordinary level of life was an overwhelming crushing force against a non-little witch like me, including response speed.
But I was also surprised that the other party didn’t kill me; after all, I hadn’t even used my reincarnation rebirth spell yet.
Resurrection spells cannot be used on oneself; only the derivative “rebirth” can be used preemptively on oneself, and until reincarnation rebirth, the conditions for use are even more relaxed.
As I finished speaking, the other party’s inscrutable attack came again, but under my sense of time, I easily discerned it.
“The same move is useless; try something else.” I provocatively said, moving my figure elsewhere.
Although I am a little witch, it doesn’t mean I am purely a magic cultivator; body cultivation is also an important part of my strength.
After a few moves from this extraordinary duke, I easily dodged, and a sense of irritation began to build up.
I also felt a bit bored; this round of attacks all followed the same pattern and methods, purely overwhelming; nothing special stood out.
The other party even blocked a few fireball spells from me. He didn’t even want to reposition, retreat, or evade… haha—ridiculous persistence.
“Give me… be serious!”
With my stern shout, an invisible blade of wind swept across his cheek, and bright red blood trickled down from the skin wound at his eyebrow.
The warm sensation of a drop of blood gradually cooled down, and he froze in disbelief!
His super recovery ability, facing the wounds created by the extraordinary, should have meant that he didn’t even have blood flowing out.
And he… was actually injured by a basic spell, a wind blade that only consumed a little magic power!
The wound still bled, meaning…
“Show your full strength! Do you think I’m playing house with you? Hit by a wind blade…”
My arrogant words weren’t finished when the other party was clearly enraged, and what was worse was that his extraordinary dignity was also offended!
“Die for me!”
With an angry roar, a terrifying blood-colored energy erupted, and he transformed into a battle stance like a blood clan beast, pouncing on me!
The oppressive force of super life levels rushed toward me, instantly closing the distance between us.
Every claw he swung left scarlet trails, the blood energy seeping into space, tearing apart transient spatial rifts.
Even in the heat of anger, his combat techniques remained precise and elegant; the blood energy condensing into a cloak transformed into a sharp sickle at unexpected moments, delivering a fatal hit as if extending his limbs.
Just being close to him had already left me injured due to his terrifying and profound combat experience and instincts.
Unlike my sister, who always left room in her strikes, every one of his blows pursued my death!
The previous strike with true brilliance wind blade had drawn him blood, completely enraging him.
And this was what I wanted!
Such an intense and overwhelming battle ignited my yearning for combat skills.
The body techniques I had touched on earlier gradually morphed from practice techniques into battle methods, from theory to practice… They say one grows wiser after each battle; within such a short fight, I had already experienced more than past experiences combined.
“Die! You only know healing spells; healing spells won’t save you!”
The blood clan duke spoke fiercely again, and with one claw, just as he said, it ended my life.
As not a few watched with complex expressions, the glow of the reincarnation rebirth spell left everyone stunned.
“Resurrection spell?”
“Uninformed—it’s the rebirth spell that can be used on oneself.” I adjusted my collar and insulted without courtesy.
Rebirth spell!
Even for extraordinary witches, this spellbook is very sought after.
After all… rebirth belongs to derivative spells, and among all resurrection-type spells, resurrection is resurrection. In the Grand Library of the Witch World, resurrection has items for sale, though very expensive, but witches who have accumulated magic power can still bite the bullet and afford it.
However, spells like rebirth are sold out as soon as they appear; after all, resurrection requires assistance from others, while rebirth only requires oneself.
“What a big shot… even someone gave you this type of spell?” At that moment, the jealousy of this blood clan duke was at its peak. “Then I want to see how many times you can be resurrected!”
“You have no one to give you anything because you’re worthless?” My mouth didn’t stop, “But you might want to remember… Principal Mei gave me the resurrection spell; my self-rebirth is my own derived skill. You won’t even be able to use rebirth, will you? Truly useless~”
“Then you should be careful… I can die many times, but you… can only die once!”
As I boasted, I narrowly avoided the other party’s attack.
Now I had realized some things and had already grasped the basics of “extraordinary.”
Extraordinary attacks couldn’t hit me; the iron law that the boundary between extraordinary and non-extraordinary cannot be crossed is nothing but a joke, a rumor that kills people; the one who binds themselves with fear chains are the unqualified ones who never attempt to judge.
However, I was still being pressed and hit by him, continuously using healing spells and similar spells, making it very anxiety-inducing.
“Got it.”
With my light words, many people expressed their confusion, not understanding what I had succeeded in.
Even the blood clan duke I was fighting was wide-eyed, not comprehending what he had missed.
As the magic in my hand flickered softly, effects resembling healing and dispelling spells ignited around me, and then I felt a lightness throughout my body.
“The initial blood spikes you struck, including every subsequent strike, carried some sort of blood toxin, and it seems there was also some kind of blood curse; were you waiting for me to be killed by the toxin and curse at the soul level?”
As I finished, the other party fell silent, only showing resentment and confusion in his eyes.
Finally, he spoke strongly: “Common healing and detox spells cannot treat that.”
“So I derived detox and dispelling spells to deal with this chronic blood toxin and curse.” I provocatively continued: “Long before I enrolled, my homeroom teacher, Miss Ren Jiao, told me to be humble; geniuses outside the world…
can even derive spells in the middle of combat based on the battle situation.”
To win through loss, I think I should be able to step into this realm of genius.
As I finished speaking, silence enveloped the surroundings.
Neither the blood clan nor the witches reacted.
Including the blood clan duke before me widened his eyes, his face filled with frustration.
I was quite satisfied with the expression of this enemy before me:
“Your shock is the best applause for me! You indeed are worthless; besides the extraordinary realm, you have no means to beat me. Sweating yet… vampire, have you lived so long only to become a flying rat (spider)?”
“Genius…” The blood clan duke’s expression darkened, as the immense blood energy carried the intent to kill; after he locked his bloody gaze on me, he unleashed it completely!
“Even if you are a genius, so what! Today… you must die here!”
