Average Mage wants to reach the Apex
All Zed ever wanted to achieve in his life was to become one of the greatest mages of all time. However, reality was cruel as not everyone was equal. No amount of hard work could defeat talent. Similarly, no amount of hard work could change your status in life. Whether you were born a peasant or a noble, that is the destiny you must live on. Zed learned this the hard way but even until his last moments, he refused to give up. After his passing, he woke up to an entirely different world with different values and culture. Would he be able to reach greatness this time? - Volume 1 is more focused in developing the bonds between the characters while volume 2 is where the story will truly begin. Oh and if you can't deal with an old man trapped in the body of a child (MC) and is raising other children but the children in turn, develops romantic feelings for the MC. Then this isn't for you. But don't get this mistaken, there isn't any pedophiliac content. The MC only considers them family.... for now...? Maybe, I don't know. Stay and find out? Up to you.

Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Candidate Tournament 3
On the other side of the colosseum, several stages away from Meixiang and Jingfei, Lan'er and Zhu Lian stood against one another.
Lan'er's aloof demeanor made Zhu Lian even more nervous.
Soon...
Vrrr!
The match started.
With her long blade drawn, Lan'er didn't waste any time as she immediately wielded her qi.
[Empress' Conquest 5th Technique: Quick Judgment]
Zhu Lian prepared for the incoming strike. She knew that defending from Lan'er's attack would be pointless which was why she immediately used her movement technique.
However, Lan'er's attack was simply too fast. So much so that, the moment Zhu Lian activated her technique, Lan'er was already in front of her.
Woosh!
Zhu Lian predicted this and she was able to dodge the blade. Lan'er's attack was actually fast to the point where her blade became a blur to the naked eye.
