Merlin sat in the audience, looking at the astonished expressions of the people below the stage, feeling extremely satisfied. Ed's performance was perfect; it was exactly the scene he had dreamed of.
He wants the advertisements of his industries to be like ghosts, lingering around students all the time. In this subtle way, he wants to achieve the magical effect of "brainwashing" and make students flock to his products without realizing it.
"Can I challenge you now?" The student union member who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward, his expression as calm as water, without any dissatisfaction or anger in his tone.
Obviously, they were no longer surprised by such bizarre things. After all, only President Merlin's eccentric mind could come up with such an incredible idea.
"After eating the beggar's chicken in lotus leaf from Chunwei Braised Food Shop and the pearl milk tea from Mixue Shiguang, I felt full of energy. Now I feel extremely powerful!" Ed said confidently while wiping the remaining oil stains from the corners of his mouth. He looked as if he had really been reborn and became a peerless strong man.
Under the attention of everyone, Ed's points challenge kicked off again. On the stone platform, the countdown numbers emitting faint light were suspended in the air, like a countdown clock of fate, and every flash touched the hearts of the audience below the stage.
When the last ray of light went out, in an instant, ripples appeared in the space beside Ed, and countless colorful floating balls seemed to emerge from the void, densely suspended around him.
Ed's eyes suddenly narrowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he started his mental observation without hesitation.
In an instant, his consciousness seemed to transcend the shackles of the flesh, like an invisible breeze, gently but sensitively sweeping across each floating ball.
His perception was infinitely magnified at this moment. The positions and changing trajectories of those floating balls were clearly reflected in his mind, like a sophisticated dynamic picture slowly unfolding.
Immediately afterwards, Ed moved, swung his right hand violently, his movement was vigorous and powerful, bringing up a gust of strong wind. In an instant, the dormant magic power in his body was like an awakened lion, roaring and rushing out along his meridians, gathering, compressing, and condensing in the palm of his hand.
In a flash, small and solid magic light balls appeared out of thin air, emitting a soft and dangerous light. The magic power inside was spinning at high speed like a whirlpool, containing astonishing destructive power.
Ed's eyes focused and locked onto the target. Those magic light balls seemed to be endowed with life and mission. Like arrows shot from a bow, they shot towards the group of floating balls with a sharp whistling sound.
They were extremely fast, streaking dazzling light in the air and making slight explosions wherever they passed.
Each light ball hit the target accurately, and the moment it touched the floating ball, it burst out with brilliant light. The magic power contained in the light instantly shattered the floating ball like a surging tide.
For a moment, the score number above Ed's head seemed to be injected with life and began to jump wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ever-increasing numbers seemed to be telling of Ed's bravery and strength, and also caused the audience, who were originally extremely nervous, to burst into exclamations and shouts one after another. The atmosphere of the entire stadium was instantly ignited, like a pot of boiling hot oil, warm and noisy.
In the crowded stands, Carl frowned, with an expression of confusion and surprise on his face.
He leaned slightly to Shirley beside him and asked softly, "Shirley, what kind of light magic is Ed performing on this stage? This is the first time I've seen such a strange light magic."
As soon as he finished speaking, Karl noticed that Shirley beside him was already stunned, her eyes wide open, full of shock.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she stammered in response, "I don't know either. Even in the vast and obscure books of light magic treasured by the church, I have never found any trace of it. This is really too bizarre!"
"Even you haven't seen it before?" Delia's nonchalant expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a strong interest aroused by Shirley's words.
She slowly reached out her hand, picked up a bottle of crystal clear potion, gracefully brought it to her lips, and took a sip.
Then, her deep and bright eyes were fixed on Ed's figure on the stone platform. Her gaze seemed to be real, as if it wanted to penetrate Ed's body and explore the secret of his magic.
In an instant, with the help of the observation potion, Delia opened the "Magic Eye" that could observe the flow of magic power in the body. Under her gaze, the surging magic veins in Ed's body appeared clearly in front of her eyes, every detail was visible.
Those magical powers were like lively elves, flowing, gathering and exploding in an orderly manner in Ed's body, without any disorder or escape.
Delia's face was instantly filled with shock. She murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible? This completely overturns my understanding of magic!"
"Delia, what did you find out?" Carl keenly caught Delia's gaffe, turned around quickly, and asked anxiously.
Delia took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. Her voice was still trembling with difficulty as she spoke: "Karl, this Ed is definitely a genius! You and I both know that when magicians below the master level cast magic, it is difficult to accurately control their own magic power, which will more or less lead to the loss and waste of magic power. This is almost a universally recognized iron law in the magic world. However, this young man in front of me has done something almost impossible - perfectly controlling the magic power in his body! This kind of talent and control is simply a miracle!"
"Perfectly mastered magic?" Carl was not too shocked. After all, he had seen too many geniuses.
Perfectly mastering magic power is something that can only be mastered by magicians who have reached the sixth-level master level.
[Magician levels: magic apprentice, trainee magician, primary magician, intermediate magician, senior magician, master, archmage, legendary magician, demigod, god of magic]
However, in the Arcane Academy where "monsters" and "evil spirits" gathered, Carl had already seen two students who could perfectly master their magic before the "Master" level.
One of them is Arthur, who is always the top student in the second-year fighting skills class and the strongest student in the magic sword department. He can beat Carl and Chris, the descendants of the sword masters, alone.
The other is Scarlett, the granddaughter of the dean of the Arcane Academy, who is proficient in all kinds of magic.
