Sorcerer’s Handbook

Not only did the crowd from both schools erupt in thunderous cheers, but other spectators also applauded as well. Amid the excited crowd, the calm Felix stood out. She gripped her gloved left hand tightly with her right hand.

A handsome young man with blond hair stepped onto the field, clad in platinum combat attire that made him look like a prince on a parade—no different from a prince, considering he was the eldest son of the Stargazer Duke. He waved to the audience, instantly receiving a wave of frenzied cheers and applause.

Dimy, a fourth-year student at Truth College, the vice-president of the Student Council at Truth College, and heir to the Vlozrada Family, had individually won the Meteor Trial, led his team to win the Stars Trial, and represented his school to win the Celestial Palace Trial in last year’s College League. He was the only person in the past ten years to win all three Trials!

He was the nightmare of every college student in Galaxia over the past four years—a wall too high to climb, a figure too distant to chase.

Compared to Dimy, Negus looked as if he had just been fished out of water—his hair wet and resembling noodles. He wasn’t even wearing combat attire, just some old abyss armor. But no one underestimated him because he had narrowly lost to Dimy in the semi-finals of the last Meteor Trial. Even if he came wearing flip-flops, he would still be considered unique.

“Long time no see, Negus,” Dimy said. “I heard your team recently conquered the fifth layer of the abyss, ‘Molten Steel Abyss.’ Outstanding.”

What!?

The audience buzzed with astonishment, including Lois and Engulite. Adelle was a bit confused. “Is Molten Steel Abyss really that formidable?”

“It’s not just about being formidable… You definitely didn’t pay attention in Abyss Common Sense class, did you?” Lois replied. “Molten Steel Abyss is the most treacherous area in the fifth layer of the abyss. It’s filled with boiling molten steel, with temperatures exceeding 1500 degrees. To conquer this abyss, you must kill the Guardian in the center of Molten Steel Lake…”

“The Guardian in the abyss isn’t foolish. If a sorcerer is in the air, it will directly create a steel tsunami to drown the invader,” Engulite added. “Typically, one would enter Molten Steel Lake and engage the Guardian in combat.”

“But at such high temperatures, won’t one be burned to ashes upon entering?”

“More than just being incinerated, it would cause a liquid phase explosion,” Lois explained. “The density of molten steel is seven times that of the human body. Your shattered remains would float on the surface of Molten Steel Lake… However, because of the extremely high temperature of the molten steel, water sorcerers could potentially traverse Molten Steel Lake.”

“Why?”

“I won’t go into detailed principles, but simply put, when water encounters a high-temperature substance far exceeding its boiling point, some of the liquid will violently boil and evaporate, forming a gaseous protective layer that separates it from the outside. If used correctly, a sorcerer can rely on this gaseous protective layer to cross Molten Steel Lake safely! That’s why a water sorcerer can conquer Molten Steel Abyss!”

“The Guardian is not weak. A water sorcerer alone can’t handle it; they must rely on their teammates,” Engulite said admiringly. “Not only does Negus trust himself, but his teammates also entrust their lives to him. That’s the only way to conquer Molten Steel Abyss!”

The clamor of the audience didn’t affect the tense atmosphere on the field. Negus looked at Dimy expressionlessly. “You sure know a lot.”

“With you as my opponent, I have to gather all the Intelligence I can. How could I afford any negligence?”

“Why didn’t you participate in the Stars Trial?”

“My team members have their own aspirations, and we couldn’t gather together,” Dimy shrugged. “In my opinion, you have at least a top-four spot in this Stars Trial, and you might even win. But you should watch out for my junior brothers’ team. They are not only adorable but also strong.”

“Hmph, those small fries don’t concern me. My only target is you, Dimy,” Negus sneered coldly. “I originally planned to get my revenge in the Meteor Trial, but since the opportunity has come, I’ll make sure you lose twice in a row.”

“I’m looking forward to it,” Dimy smiled. “You won’t disappoint me.”

At the word “start” from the announcer, Dimy placed his hand on his sword hilt but made no move. Negus’s face contorted with anger as he yelled, “Still so confident, huh? Relaxed and waiting for me to make the first move, then breaking all my spells before defeating me? Hmm? Such a detestable display of showmanship!”

“But this time, I won’t give you any chance.” Negus crossed his arms and slashed viciously. The sharp ring on his index finger cut through the arteries in his wrist, and blood gushed out like water from a faucet.

The Blood Spell Sect… Negus’s mentor, the “Rainstorm Singer” Valenteen, frowned slightly. The Star Miracles Directory doesn’t offer any training in Blood Spells. That’s almost exclusively the domain of the Blood Moon Kingdom… Could it be a legacy from vampires in the Virtual Realm?

In no time, the entire arena filled with Negus’s blood. With a loud shout, all of the blood floated in the air and formed countless blood swords, all aimed at Dimy, leaving scarcely any space!

“Swords formed from blood…” Dimy curiously asked, “It doesn’t look like they’re meant for a simple slash, are they?”

“Of course not,” Negus replied. “This is a Composite Miracle using blood water. Although the blood is propelled by my spirit, it is still my blood, meaning I have far greater control over it than over water.”

Dimy nodded. “Blood Spells and Water Spells do make for a highly compatible Sect.”

“Stop stalling!” Negus shouted, baring his teeth. “Because of that, I can also cast high-damage miracles that require close contact using these blood swords. Care to guess which miracle I’ve integrated into them?”

“Let me guess, it’s your favorite ‘Exploding Red Lotus,’ isn’t it?” Dimy surveyed the area. “So if even one of these swords touches me, the water in my body will boil, my skin will redden and burst, just like a red lotus bloom? Hmm, but with a Death-Prevention miracle in place, my head and heart should remain intact.”

“Hasn’t anyone told you your smugness is annoying?” Negus replied coldly. “And by the way, I’ve added ‘High-frequency Water Blades’ to a few of these swords. Even Defensive Miracles won’t stand a chance.”

“Dimy, this is the grand finale I’ve prepared for you—my 25-meter radius ‘Red Lotus Sword Formation.’ Prepare to pay for your arrogance!”

While Negus explained his miracle, he not only terrified the majority of the audience but even moved the Sanctuary sorcerers.

“So powerful,” Sonya couldn’t help but sigh. “Unless I defeat Senior Brother Negus first, I’ll have no choice but to surrender if he successfully casts this move.”

“If this miracle gets added to the Star Miracles Directory, it will at least be ranked in the True Rainbow Upper-tier,” Trozan commented from nearby. “Even entering the Radiant Rainbow Lower-tier isn’t out of the question.”

Radiant Rainbow!

Sonya couldn’t help but click her tongue in awe. Although she had recently created the “Blood Moon Shattered Lake,” it was only a Radiant Golden Lower-tier miracle. But what does Radiant Rainbow mean? It’s an upper-tier miracle even Sanctuary sorcerers yearn for!

The critical point is, Negus is just a two-wing sorcerer!

Creating a Radiant Rainbow Miracle as a two-wing sorcerer!

This stunning talent made Sonya, who had been feeling a bit complacent lately, realize there are always people more skilled out there. That tiny bit of burgeoning arrogance was instantly stuffed back down to her ankles.

Thinking of this, Sonya turned her attention to Negus’s opponent. Honestly, she was more interested in Dimy. Besides being Felix’s older brother, Galaxia’s most famous noble scion, he was also a swordsmanship practitioner specializing in the Vibration Sword.

As a village girl curious about the full prowess of the Vlozrada family’s Vibration Sword system, she, being somewhat of a wild offshoot of that lineage, naturally wanted to know if the main family’s techniques harbored any hidden secrets.

But given the current situation, Dimy seemed likely to be taken down in one swift stroke.

“Wait,” Sonya suddenly realized something. “If we win both the Center Battle and the Chief Battle, Truth College will lose, won’t they?”

If they won the Chief Battle, Swordflower College’s score would be 3+5=8, eliminating Truth College with its 1+2+4=7!

For nearly ten years, Truth College had been the unchallenged champion of the Celestial Palace Trial, only to potentially be knocked out of the Top Eight by Swordflower College this time!?

Other participants from Swordflower College couldn’t contain their excitement either. “No way, are we actually going to win?” “Serves them right for underestimating Senior Brother Negus!” “Truth College, your luck just ran out this time!”

However, Professor Trozan remained solemn, still watching the match intently.

“Perhaps it’s not that simple.”

“You certainly haven’t disappointed me, Negus,” Dimy said with a smile. “In that case, I will also give my all and not let you down.”

“Enough with the pretty words!” Negus roared. “Scream, wail, and then die for me! 144 Red Lotus Swords, annihilate my enemies!”

As the blood swords swarmed toward Dimy, the blonde swordsman finally drew his sword.

Then, with one swing.

Shing—

It was like a bell tolling from a distant shore, sending a visceral shockwave through the hearts of every spectator. Then, they saw a sphere.

A spatial crystal ball enveloping the entire arena.

It was as if a spherical segment of space had been excised, with no connection between the inside and the outside. Within the sphere, all the blood swords were annihilated, and the entire area was cleared out an inch deep, the ground covered with dense Sword Marks.

Snap!

As the space returned to normal, blood burst from Negus’s entire body, but his head and heart were shielded by a glowing light, indicating that he had activated a Death-Prevention Miracle.

The spectator stands fell silent, and the entire arena was hushed.

Until a cautious voice broke the silence: “Annihilation Vibration?”

Sonya was completely bewildered. She turned to Trozan beside her and asked, “Professor, was that…?”

“Annihilation Vibration,” Trozan replied with a grim expression. “A Radiant Rainbow Upper-tier Miracle from the Vlozrada legacy. It appears to be a single slash, but in reality, it compresses the entire space into a single line, slashing every location within the space with one strike.”

She paused. “This miracle requires spatial slicing, with a minimum Spatial Sect requirement of Silver-tier. This is why only Sanctuary sorcerers can learn it.”

Just as the Time Sect’s sole training ground is the Time Continent, the Spatial Sect’s official learning site within the Virtual Realm is the third layer, the Distant Sky Domain. No matter how talented one is in spatial abilities, entering the Spatial Sect can only happen at the Distant Sky Domain.

But this means…

Negus, now a bloodied figure, gritted his teeth against the immense pain and lifted his head to look at Dimy, who had approached him. “You… you’re no longer… a two-wing sorcerer…”

Dimy picked him up and carried him toward the medical station at the edge of the arena, smiling as he said:

“Two-wings? I haven’t been that in a long time.”
