Fox had lived for so long, never had he encountered such a situation.
The gray sli crept up his legs, quickly engulfing his entire lower body.
Fox flailed his arms and legs, trying to break free.
Unfortunately, as a physically weak mage, he couldn’t manage it. He felt like a bug trapped in glue, unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.
"Be careful, the more you struggle, the tighter it gets. Relax a bit."
At this mont, the young man sitting by the table spoke up.
Zhang Xiaoman was in the middle of an alchemy experint, not expecting this poor guy to be so unlucky, getting entangled by the sli that splattered out of the pot.
"Lord Jixing, I am Riken Fox from the Iron Furnace Comrce. I accepted your invitation specifically to visit you. Please remove these things."
Fox spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman apologized:
"Sorry, I just developed this thing and don’t yet have the corresponding potion to neutralize it. Please wait while I think of a formula..."
Seeing this, Fox’s face darkened.
Now he had no choice but to grit his teeth, using his magic power to forcefully break through the gray sli barrier, constructing a fire armor outside his body, covering the sli with high temperatures.
"Sizzle..."
A series of scorching sounds resounded, and the sli finally began to recede under Fox’s fiery assault.
Eventually, it started to shrink, turning into a puddle of water.
However, regretfully, Fox’s actions resulted in a large scorched dent on the floor, standing out starkly in the room.
"Fox! What are you doing!!?"
Outside the room, a furious shout rang out as Dawn rushed in with full force.
Outside the door, he sensed the magic fluctuations inside and thought the Eighth Rank Great Mage might be threatening his guest.
"Fox! I knew you ca with ill intentions. It seems you really an harm! Do you really disregard the future of your Iron Furnace Comrce to wage an eternal war with our rcenary Guild!?"
Upon entering and seeing the ss inside Zhang Xiaoman’s room, Dawn imdiately jumped to conclusions, thinking Fox had made a move and their skirmish caused the chaos.
Fox felt rather frustrated as well now.
He intended to visit the Holy Rank expert, but it beca such an embarrassing encounter, now being pointed at and scolded, igniting his temper.
As Dawn extended his large hand to grasp him, Fox didn’t hesitate to retaliate, sending a Fla Burst Skill towards his face.
"Both of you, stop, this is just a misunderstanding."
At this mont, a calm voice echoed in their ears.
In the next instant, an invisible wall appeared between them.
Fox’s Fla Burst Skill and Dawn’s attack both stopped at the wall.
Both of them retreated a few steps, staring in shock at where the voice ca from.
It was Zhang Xiaoman who intervened to prevent them.
"This gentleman used magic to escape from my alchemy creation, not intending harm. Mr. Dawn, please don’t misunderstand."
Zhang Xiaoman stood up and approached them.
anwhile, he waved his right hand in the air and snapped his fingers.
Then, the damaged part of the floor began to repair itself.
The scattered planks flew back like ti reversing, reassembling on the floor.
The books around floated up and returned to the bookshelves like swallows returning to nests.
The parts of the wall polluted by alchemy potion beca brand new, with no trace of stains.
The room appeared as it was before, even cleaner, the previous ss seeming like an illusion.
All of this took Zhang Xiaoman less than ten seconds to accomplish.
He used three abilities throughout: Restoration Skill, Cleaning Technique, and Dark Energy Shock.
Unfortunately, the large burnt section from Fox’s Fla Armor remained unrestored.
The wood was reduced to ashes, beyond Zhang Xiaoman’s ability to fix.
Restoration Skill could repair recent damages, provided the damaged parts were present.
At that mont, such supernatural acts exceeded everyone’s comprehension.
They all stood still, staring at Zhang Xiaoman as if he were a monster.
"Is it really... Holy Rank...?"
Fox blankly gazed at the tidy room.
No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t understand how it was done.
Since even he, an Eighth Rank Great Mage, couldn’t decipher it, it beca clear the other party must be a Holy Rank expert.
Fox felt sowhat frustrated.
Considering this world’s magic was simplistic, focusing mainly on offense and defense, and elental usage was crudely about power as the core pursuit.
Their power system was still evolving from elental power to dark spiritual power, making it hard for them to achieve better mastery.
Dawn was also dumbfounded.
He had t this Mr. Jixing before but never realized his unfathomable power, mistaking him for a wealthy client.
Dawn’s observation skills were sharp.
Even though he couldn’t sense Zhang Xiaoman’s exact power, seeing Fox’s expression easily indicated that he was likely beyond the Eighth Rank.
Now Dawn understood why Fox went to great lengths to visit the other; he knew Lord Jixing’s identity all along.
"Lord... you kept quite the secret..."
After a long while, Dawn finally uttered this.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled, nodding slightly at him.
He had no intention of concealing it; they hadn’t asked.
He couldn’t casually declare himself a Holy Rank expert wherever he went, could he?
Even neighborhood moms showing off wouldn’t be this blatant.
anwhile, Ifei had been dumbstruck from the beginning.
Initially, she pondered how to help the newly entered guest escape the gray sli when she heard his introduction as the head of Iron Furnace Comrce.
An Eighth Rank expert?
Riken Fox?
Soone like that personally ca to visit Mr. Jixing?
Before Ifei could process this, the subsequent events left her in utter shock.
The Eighth Rank expert from the rcenary Guild, humanity’s mightiest Great War Master, Dawn!
They started fighting without warning.
Mr. Jixing beside her even separated them effortlessly.
By now, Ifei’s mind was almost paralyzed, feeling dazed about the situation.
What kind of boss had she co to work for this ti?
