Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 285

He was still bragging. Tordiff was explaining the origin of magic and the taboos in using it. Ankaro was standing behind the crowd, listening to his explanation.

Ancaro was quite satisfied with Tordiv's words, so he turned and left. Tordiv, being a cunning old fox, said directly after Ancaro left, "Anyone want to try the real thing?"

At this moment, Zag was the first to step forward. Good heavens, he came here because he wanted to learn real magic, not just listen to these so-called theories.

Luo Chen tugged at Zha Ge beside him: "Forget it, you can't compare to this teacher's skills!"

Perhaps it was just one sentence from Luo Chen that completely enraged Zha Ge, so he shook his head.

There's a saying in my hometown: "There are no invincible opponents, only cowards!"

After speaking, Zag stepped forward. Perhaps the orcs were filled with a fierce passion, a passion that wouldn't be so easily suppressed by the enemy.

Chapter 227 Tordiev's Praise

Tordif raised his hand, looked at Zag in front of him, and made a standard pre-battle preparation.

The two exchanged a polite gesture, crossed their hands in front of their bodies, and bowed slightly in the direction of their opponent.

A passerby beside him explained, "This is standard pre-battle preparation; it's a sign of respect for the opponent, and it's also a kind of tradition!"

Luo Chen thought to himself that this passerby was really kind-hearted.

Zag seemed to be very familiar with fire magic, and directly unleashed a raging fire at Tordiv. Tordiv did not use his hands, but merely held one palm in front of him, causing the surrounding air to distort.

At the same time, an imaginary shield appeared in his hand.

"How about it, it's not bad!"

The students here shouted loudly, clearly all little fans of this Tordif. Zag had a tiger-like face, and his yellow and black skin made it difficult for those around him to see the beads of sweat on his forehead. But while others might not be able to see it, Luo Chen here could see it clearly.

He knew perfectly well that Zag had reached his limit by now, so he calmly called out, "Zag, give up, don't hurt yourself!"

This statement was a reminder to Zag, and also a warning to Tordif, to stop bullying Zag, because if something unexpected happened, he wouldn't know how to take responsibility.

So Tordif used his other free hand to unleash a bolt of lightning, which struck Zag and sent him flying.

Luo Chen flashed behind Zag and caught him steadily with his hands. He then glared fiercely at Tordif, who was standing nearby. This was simply too much.

What reason would there be for someone to harm their own apprentice?

"See that? On the battlefield, we always need to keep one hand free. This is to prevent the enemy from suddenly reaching out their claws and attacking you from who knows when or where. So be careful, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Alright, everyone, pair up and start training!"

Luo Chen took a step forward, but Zag grabbed him. After their exchange, he didn't believe Luo Chen had the ability to defeat his opponent or retreat unscathed.

Luo Chen gently grasped his hand: "Have you forgotten that saying from your tribe so quickly?"

At this moment, Zag finally remembered, "That's right, there are no invincible enemies, only a heart that cannot defeat them." So he sat up and whispered, "Keep going."

Luo Chen took a step forward: "Teacher Tordiv, do I have the right to challenge you?"

It seemed like a joke, and all the new students except for Zhage laughed. They were all new students, especially Luo Chen, who had only arrived yesterday. We don't know if he had learned the spells and incantations yet, but he dared to make such a request.

Tordiv stroked his beard: "Have you thought this through?"

Luo Chen nodded: "I have thought it through very clearly, so please give me some guidance, teacher!"

Luo Chen swung his hand forward. Last night, Luo Chen couldn't sleep. In fact, Luo Chen didn't need much sleep at all, so he took the opportunity to browse through these magic books. Now he has basically mastered the use of lightning and fire.

A long tongue of fire flew out one after another, and at the end of the flames, it seemed as if a dragon was roaring.

Tordiff took out his prized air shield again, and it seemed that Luo Chen really had no way to break it during this time. He could only stare blankly at Tordiff in front of him and laugh triumphantly.

"Is this all you've got?"

After saying that, Tordiv gathered a bolt of lightning in his right hand. Luo Chen thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly moved his figure to the side.

Luo Chen vanished right before his eyes. Tordiff clenched his fists tightly and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this kid to have some skills."

Seeing that his flames burned on Tordiff's shield without even causing a ripple, Luo Chen came up with a plan: what if his attack came from below? Would Tordiff be able to defend against it in the same way?

Luo Chen quickly changed his move, putting away his flames, and at the same time, imitating Tordif, he gathered two spherical objects in his hands.

"It's no use, my absolute defense is unbreakable!"

Luo Chen smiled calmly: "Is that so? We'll have to try it to know!"

After saying that, Luo Chen hurled the lightning ball at Tordiv's head. Tordiv quickly used his shield to block it. Although Luo Chen's attack was swift, the lightning ball vanished without a trace when it hit Tordiv's air shield. Tordiv smiled calmly, about to say something.

Suddenly, a burst of intense heat surged from beneath him. Looking down at the ground, he realized that his lower body had been set ablaze.

"Fine, you actually know how to launch a sneak attack!"

Tordiv seemed quite calm. He then deactivated the air shield in his hand and waved his hand downwards, causing the fire beneath him to vanish without a trace.

Tordiv approached Luo Chen: "How did you do that just now?"

Based on this absolute defense, attacks coming from any direction should be directly drawn into the shield.

"Teacher, although I haven't learned absolute defense yet, I know from the book that as long as the target attacks your main body, it will be attracted to your shield. So instead of intentionally attacking you, I threw my fireball towards the ground and used its reflective ability to bounce it off to your lower body!"

Tordiff couldn't help but applaud Luo Chen: "Good, good, good! In all these years, this is the first time I've seen such a talented student as you!"

At this point, some students below became indignant and said loudly, "Teacher, Luo Chen only used a little bit of cleverness just now, so why are you so angry?"

Tordiff turned around and said sternly to the group of monkeys below, "Don't say things like that again. In battle, it's either you die or I die; there's no room for trickery!"

Chapter 228 The Lost Tomb

With just one sentence from Tordiff, all the students were silenced.

Clap clap, applause came from behind. It turned out that Ankaro had just returned and found so many students gathered here. Moreover, he had seen the battle just now clearly.

Tordiff inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly turned his head away. Sure enough, Ancaro was standing right behind him.

"Sir, you're back so early?"

Ancaro chuckled: "If I hadn't come back, you dared to bring these monkeys and tear down Winterhold College, didn't you?"

Tordiff didn't dare to speak, and Luo Chen quietly watched the guy with a smile on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Luo Chen said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, Vice Dean!"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Ankaro coldly stared at Tordif: "How could this be the student's fault? The dean just informed me that some things were found in an ancient cave, and asked me to send a few people to take a look. I think you are quite good, so let's add Zag to the list!"

Zag never expected to be chosen, so he excitedly thanked him. As Ancaro left, he pointed at Tordiff and said, "If something like this happens again in the future, you'd better prepare to leave Winterhold College!"

After saying that, Ankaro disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Alright, everyone, you can all disperse now. Luo Chen and Zha Ge, stay here. The rest of you are free to do as you please!"

After saying this, Tordiff called Luo Chen and the others over and instructed them that once they arrived there, they would have to rely on themselves for everything, and no one else could take responsibility for their lives.

Zag asked excitedly, "Teacher, which way should we go now?"

"Satar Cave!"

This is a tomb passed down from the first generation of magicians long ago. Everyone can imagine its importance. Everyone was on edge, not expecting that besides Luo Chen, there was also Zag.

Mirabelle and Farola will also be going to this new world that no one knows. Luo Chen, alone, braved the wind and snow to reach the top of the mountain. Looking at the enormous cave, he couldn't help but sigh. Everyone says that foreigners are more open-minded than us Chinese, but I never imagined that their tombs were so much higher than mine.

Tordiev and the others arrived at the scene at this time. After everyone was there, they walked down the mountain. The cold weather was the most deadly thing here, and the thousands of steps made it quite difficult for everyone to walk.

Having finally reached the iron gate, Tordiff inserted a silver key, and the gate creaked open, revealing an endless expanse of darkness. Everyone cautiously stepped inside.

There was no fire, but it didn't hinder their progress at all. Tordiff put his five fingers together, and a small flame appeared in his hand. Along the way, countless jars and pots were piled up to the side, but no one dared to touch them.

After navigating the winding road, Tordiff said to Luo Chen, "The Dean has already sent Annelgane to wait for us inside. Go check it out first, and if anything happens, don't hesitate to run!"

Luo Chen nodded and walked directly inside. However, the visual environment here was much more relaxed than outside. Water droplets on the ground made a dripping sound, which made Luo Chen shiver involuntarily.

After passing through several small rooms, they came to a stone tablet with strange writing on it. Annegan was examining the ancient texts, which seemed to contain immense power.

"Safety!"

Luo Chen shouted, his voice reaching Tordiff's ears and also waking Annelgan from his reverie. Annelgan looked up and saw Luo Chen: "Did the Dean send you?"

Luo Chen nodded, and Annelgan pointed to the other side and said, "There are some things over there, go and get them for me!"

This tone makes it sound like you're ordering a subordinate to do something, but even so, you should at least explain to me what these things actually are, right?

Luo Chen directly voiced his thoughts, and Annelgan, thinking it over, agreed. So she gave Luo Chen a talisman: "Take this talisman. Whenever it comes into contact with something that has a magical reaction, it will turn blue. Be careful, go!"

Then Annelgane immersed himself in his research.

Luo Chen shook his head helplessly. Are scientists these days really this crazy?

So he turned around and started searching on the ground and around him. Luo Chen was lucky and found a ring and a charm, but Anelgan had said that there were at least five of these items.

When Luo Chen walked up to a stone wall, the stone wall suddenly smiled at him. Luo Chen was startled, not because he was timid, but because it was so unexpected.

After the face on the stone wall smiled, it disappeared, and a talisman appeared in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen naturally picked it up immediately. Suddenly, a loud noise came from all around, and a long mechanism appeared behind Luo Chen.

At this moment, Tordif walked up to Luochen.

"Young man, how did you get yourself in there? Can't you get out?"

Luo Chen shook his head: "I seem to have run into some trouble and can't get out for the time being!"

Tordiv said, "Every mechanism in a cave has its own way of being solved. Perhaps you should take another look."

According to what he said, the key to solving the puzzle must be nearby. So Luo Chen turned around and began to search his surroundings. Sure enough, he found that the color of the wall where he had just obtained the talisman was different from the surrounding wall.

Luo Chen shouted, and Tordiev continued, "That's right, try to open that wall using your own method!"

Luo Chen used his dragon roar to break through the wall in front of him, and the surrounding mechanisms also subsided. Tordiff, still holding his little flame, walked up to Luo Chen.

"I seem to sense that something inside is calling to us!"

As Tordif spoke, he walked step by step into the cave, and at that moment, the air seemed to freeze...

Chapter 229 Warning

After reaching the end of the passage and stepping inside, Zardif looked at the sky and began talking about something strange.

From the coffin in the very center, a phantom floated out and came to Luo Chen and the others.

"Dear descendant of Winterhold, only you can hear my call!"

Zardif was still muttering something to himself, and Luo Chen knew he wouldn't hear their conversation.

So he asked with complete peace of mind, "Who are you?"

"My name? I've almost forgotten it. I've slumbered here for nearly a thousand years. But, Master, stop your search. Behind you lies a treasure passed down by your great predecessors. This treasure is enough for your needs, so please do not continue searching, or everything will be beyond repair!"

"Just kidding," Luo Chen thought to himself, "the more you say that, the more problems there are ahead."

Luo Chen tried asking him, "What exactly is sealed inside?"

"The Pseik Order is an extremely evil force. Their mages cannot communicate with us normal mages, so mages, remember, do not explore it. This is not a power you can obtain!"

After he finished speaking, Nerion's afterimage disappeared from their sight, and Zardif, who had been muttering to himself, returned to normal.

Luo Chen shook him, and Zardif finally came to his senses.

"What just happened?"

Luo Chen recounted everything that had just happened to Zardif, who nodded in agreement: "There might be something in this place that we don't know about!"

Zardif approached Anelgan and repeated some of what Luo Chen had told him earlier. Anelgan nodded: "Go quickly and check inside Narien's coffin. You might find something!"

The three of them quickly arrived at the outside of Nerion's coffin, but no matter what they tried, they could not open it. Perhaps it was made of iron, which is why it possessed a power that ordinary people could not see through.

At this point, Annelgane no longer cared about seniority and directly pried open the coffin. A foul stench emanated from it. Annelgane gently placed the body on the ground and explored the inside again, but found nothing. However, Luo Chen noticed that there were quite a few weapons placed around the coffin.

On a small table lay a magic book. Luo Chen picked up the book called Time Freeze and a flood of information rushed into his mind. He let out a long breath, struggled to his feet, and looked at the spellbook in front of him. Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind the door. Everyone quickly turned to look and saw the stone door in front of them slowly descend, revealing a passage.

Luo Chen led the two of them out of the small room. Countless corpses began to crawl from their original seats, trying to stand up, but they had to ask Luo Chen first.

Luo Chen approached one of the ghouls and fired a fireball at its head. When the fireball struck its head, the ghoul fell asleep again.

Luo Chen then realized that these corpse demons were very troublesome when they stood up, but as long as you waited for them to stand up and then attacked them a couple of times, their defenses were very weak and they were unable to put up any effective resistance.

Luo Chen led the two of them and rushed all the way until they arrived at a room. There, they saw coffins falling down and corpses emerging from them.

Although Anelgan was a research talent, when it came to charging into battle, he was second to none. So he turned around and shouted loudly to Luo Chen and Zardif, "You guys go first, I'll hold them off here!"

Since you're so powerful and invincible, given Luo Chen's personality, he naturally won't let you off the hook. So Luo Chen pulled Zardif into a small room. Although there were also ghouls here, they were all low-level ones, the kind that even Luo Chen looked down on.

These little ghouls were all dealt with by Zardif alone, and then there was a small stone-spinning challenge, which Luo Chen hated the most, so he looked around and saw birds and snakes.

It's unclear how many failures he's experienced, but fortunately, Zardif's absolute defense is incredibly strong, directly absorbing all the mechanical arrows caused by Luo Chen's mistake into his own shield.

Finally, accompanied by countless crackling sounds, Luo Chen revealed all the mysteries, and the door was pulled upwards.

The two walked into the room. There seemed to be an energy gathering around them, coming from downstairs. Just as they were about to go downstairs, they suddenly heard some noises around them.
