Serena, however, knew that Ron was definitely more than just a newly promoted Great Mage because she knew Howen's realm very well. Howen was already a level-4 Great Mage.
And if Ron could easily defeat Howen, it meant that Ron was at least a level-5 Great Mage!
Oh my God! Brother Ron is really amazing! How did he manage to recover and even improve his strength to this level after suffering such severe injuries? Brother Ron is indeed a genius!
That's right, Ron was indeed a level-5 Great Mage now! That was why he could easily send Howen flying with a punch!
Looking at Ron radiating powerful magical waves, Fiona and Klein were also shocked. As students of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, they originally had a natural air of superiority over people from a small place like Winterfrost. But now, in front of Ron, that air of superiority was completely shattered into pieces.
Fiona, on the other hand, looked worriedly at Howen, who had been sent flying. She wondered if she should intervene and help Howen immediately.
"Ahhhh ~ ~ ~ ~ Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
At this moment, Howen suddenly erupted with a huge magical power wave, and a huge hexagram formation appeared beneath his feet. Endless flames emerged from the magic formation, enveloping his entire body in flames. However, these flames did not harm Howen in the slightest, but had instead increased his aura to unprecedented strength.
Howen's eyes were raging with flames of anger. He looked at Ron furiously. This thing, which he had originally despised, had actually beaten him up so badly and even made him vomit blood. He absolutely could not accept such humiliation!
How can such a loser defeat me? Absolutely impossible! I am a genius, a top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy! I absolutely cannot lose!
The more he thought about it, the furious he became. As the magical power erupted, the flames around him burned even more fiercely. The great amount of heat had directly frightened the spectators, and they all stepped back to avoid the intense heat.
However, despite Howen's fury, he could tell from the punch Ron had thrown earlier that Ron's cultivation level ought to be one level higher than his. In this case, even if he were to attack with all his might, he would not be a match for his opponent. As such, he could only use that! Then, Howen took out a fiery-red pearl and swallowed it right away!
Boom! Instantly, his aura skyrocketed. The flames around him were originally only four to five meters tall, but after he had swallowed the pearl, the flames around him shot up to more than ten meters. The intense heat even melted the ground under his feet!
"Oh no, Senior is going all out. He has actually swallowed the Fire Snake's Magic Core to increase his strength!" Klein immediately said worriedly, upon beholding the sight.
On the other side, Serena had also seen this, and she became instantly even more anxious. She was very familiar with this Fire Snake's Magic Core because she had also participated in the killing of the Fire Snake. The Fire Snake was a very powerful magical beast. Several of them had to work together to kill the Fire Snake before obtaining this Fire Snake's Magic Core. And this Fire Snake's Magic Core had a very powerful effect; if a fire-based Mage swallowed it, he could temporarily increase his strength by at least two levels. In other words, Howen's current strength was at least that of a level-6 Great Mage! This would have already surpassed Ron!
From the look of it, it was obvious that Howen was going to expend all the energy of the Fire Snake's Magic Core in an instant. To be able to kill Ron in one blow, his attack this time would have to be equivalent to the full-power attack of a level-7 or even a level-8 Great Mage!
This was definitely not something Ron, who only had the strength of a level-5 Great Mage, could withstand!
"Go and die!"
Howen gave a loud cry, and then he consolidated all the magic power in his body and condensed it into a huge Fire Snake, which charged directly at Ron with an aura so powerful that it could destroy heaven and earth! He had disregarded anything else; he had to kill Ron! And the power of this attack was definitely not something Ron could withstand.
"Senior, stop!"
"Brother Ron!"
"Stop!"
Several people, upon seeing this, had all shouted loudly. However, Howen had already lost his rationality, so how could he hear them?
Only City Lord Lien had let out a sigh. Today, Ron had given him too many surprises. He decided to intervene to save Ron, so he could form a good relationship with this young genius.
However, just as he was about to intervene, his pupils suddenly constricted, as he had felt a powerful force. He looked up suddenly.
"Roar!!!"
It sounded like a roar from a dragon. Following this dragon roar, everyone was shocked to find that a gigantic phantom of the Ice Dragon had suddenly risen from the ancestral hall. The Ice Dragon phantom then charged directly at the Fire Snake in the field.
Although the Ice Dragon was just a phantom, it carried with it an endless amount of icy energy. It pounced onto the Fire Snake released by Howen, and instantly extinguished the Fire Snake. There was not even an amber of fire left in the field. Howen stared in shock at the gigantic phantom of the Ice Dragon which had blotted out the sky, his eyes full of panic. But before he could dodge, the Ice Dragon phantom had exhaled a gust of icy air in his direction, and he instantly turned into an ice statue, his fate unknown.
Then, the phantom of the Ice Dragon vanished, condensing into a wand as clear as ice crystals. It hovered directly in front of Ron.
"This…..Is this a magical weapon? Is it even a gold-tier magical weapon?" Upon seeing the Ice Wand, even City Lord Lien was shocked and he stared at it in disbelief.
"Damn, what is this? How can it be so powerful?"
"This is a magical weapon! It's a legendary magical weapon! A magical weapon which only the most powerful Great Archmage can create. I didn't expect the Nicholas family clan to have such a powerful magical weapon! It's amazing!"
"So the legend is true. The Nicholas family used to be a powerful family clan with a Great Archmage in command. It looks like this has to be true, otherwise, they will not have magical weapons!"
The crowd discussed excitedly. They were shocked beyond words, and they were even envious of the Nicholas family clan. There was also respect and even some element of fear.
"Senior Howen!"
"Brother Ron!"
At this moment, Fiona and Klein dashed over, after they saw Howen was completely frozen.
