Chapter 337: Perfect Master-Disciple Pair

Chapter 337: Perfect Master-Disciple Pair

While everyone was consoling Archer who was still in shock, discussing Yao Zis impressive feat and how incredible the wizards bloodline was. No one even noticed that she was called away by Lin Xiao for a lecture.

Other than Elena and ShenDai Ying that were there, the only outsider left was Abra.

He stood silently to the side and even purposely stepped back a bit so that he could listen to what Lin Xiao was unsatisfied with and why he was rebuking her.

Yao Zi, why did you purposely scare Archer earlier?

No, I-I didnt I just didnt want to destroy the buildings so I could only choose that spot I didnt do it on purpose!

She clearly did well yet she was lectured by Lin Xiao, no matter how good of a temper she had, she still felt wronged and pouted.

No choice? Lin Xiao furrowed his brows and looked at the collapsed dirt to the distance and patiently explained, Yao Zi, you accumulated a lot of magic, so yours would be much larger scale than Archers. It was enough to cover the entire street and in order to not damage the buildings on the two sides, so you placed the formation in the center of the street and almost injured Archer, right?

Un, so you can tell actually I knew that Archer was in a safe place. Theres a lot of space in the center so as long as he doesnt run around he definitely wouldnt get hurt, so I Yao Zi feebly replied.

Lin Xiao clearly knew of her considerations so why was he so angry?

Sigh, Yao Zi, you still dont get it. Lin Xiao sighed and asked in an incredulous manner, Yao Zi, could it be that you dont know you can alter the magics form?

Eh? What do you mean?

Yao Zi blinked, not understanding what Lin Xiao meant.

Let me ask you, the rock burst formation has a total of six pillars spread evenly across the corners of a hexagon, right?

Right.

Because the hexagon was too big, you cast it in the center of the street, right?

Yes.

Then have you thought about flattening and elongating the shape?

Eh?

Yao Zi heard something she couldnt believe.

A magics set shape could be altered?

The reason its a hexagon is to properly make use of the full power, but right now youre not using it against an enemy, so you can change the shape. You can narrow it and even change it to an oval and avoid Archer have you not considered that?

No Yao Zi honestly responded.

That choice didnt even exist to Yao Zi, let alone her considering it. It was like Lin Xiaos words awakened her to a whole new world.

My god, dont tell me

When Lin Xiao saw Yao Zis surprised expression, he realized that she was just simply dumb and not purposely talking back. So he let go of his stern attitude and patiently explained.

Actually, he should have realized a long time ago.

When he was experimenting with her he should have noticed her weak control of magic. At that time he was only focused on testing her limits and didnt realize this fatal weak point of the wizards bloodline.

Although she can gather an enormous amount of magic power from the atmosphere, that power wasnt hers in the end.

That power still makes others revere it, but when that power surpasses what the individual can control, then it can become the enemy

Yao Zi could use external magic power and skip steps to directly cast powerful spells, the strength was that it didnt depend on her own magic power, but at the same time, there was a weakness, manipulation.

Magic power and magic were different concepts, one was an intangible concept, the other was tangible. Yao Zis power could help her with the first, but not the second, which required precise magic control.

Yao Zi, listen up,, you can freely adjust the placements of the pillars. You can also adjust other magics in similar ways, try it next time, you just have to mentally manipulate it when gathering magic power

And so, Lin Xiao dragged Yao Zi over and began explaining the most fundamental and simple knowledge. Yet that was already a lot for Yao Zi,

So it turns out that magic could be freely manipulated?

I really cant figure you guys out

Elena shook her head as she watched Yao Zi listen attentively to Lin Xiao who was patiently teaching her and had complex feelings.

Actually, Elena already knew about the weakness of her power, she just never bothered mentioning it since it had nothing to do with her. But she also didnt think it was as serious of a problem until Lin Xiao especially pointed it out.

Elena suddenly felt that Yao Zi was nothing special.

Compared to Yao Zi, Lin Xiao was clearly much stronger.

As for magic power, Lin Xiao had robust magic power and was high level, and Yao Zi had unlimited power, so it looked like she had a leg up, but was that really the case?

As for magic control, Lin Xiao could do complex tricks, and Yao Zi couldnt even do the most basic of adjustments.

As for magic knowledge, Lin Xiao stayed in the Loran Academy library all the time and had memorized all kinds of magic theories by heart and even managed to learn the latest magic theory deconstruction. While Yao Zi didnt even know the basics and just relied on her talent to get by and was gradually learning thanks to Lin Xiao.

Elena made a wry smile. These two, in a certain sense, were the perfect master-disciple pair.

Perhaps the only one that could be Yao Zis teacher was Lin Xiao, no one else was qualified.

And the only one worthy of being personally taught by Lin Xiao was Yao Zi.

While the master and disciple were having their magic lesson, Elena and ShenDai Ying were standing to the side and acting as his helper, while Abra had cold sweats.

Their conversation was too terrifying that even Abra was stupefied.

Why was this youth called Lin Xiao able to guide Yao Zi?

Could it be

Sigh, as expected of the wizards bloodline.

At that time a familiar voice interrupted Abras train of thought.

He looked up and saw Archer coming over with the others while muttering nonstop.

Its no match, really, shes too strong. I painstakingly practiced for ten years and was finally able to grasp the essence of that magic, but this little girl was able to use it on her first try and it was even stronger than mine sigh, what is this.

Archer spoke while hanging his head and was clearly depressed. Seeing that, the others quickly comforted him.

Archer, you dont need to be so down, were just normal people after all and shes a genius chosen by the goddess so how can we compare?

Thats right, youre not going to get anywhere by comparing yourself to her! Not just you, perhaps even the genius Caesar cant compare? Look at him, hes still levelheaded, so you have to learn more from these youngsters. Although Caesar is still younger, hes more mature.

Sigh, you guys are right

With everyones consolations, Archers mood finally stabilized a bit. He slowly walked back to Abra and sighed.

Abra, she already proved her strength, Im no match so let her join. With her, we will surely succeed. Archer spoke listlessly and it felt like he instantly lost a lot of hair.

Hm, joining the team, huh Abra gently responded and was clearly a bit absent-minded.

Hm? Abra, whats wrong?

Everyone was stunned when they saw Abras manner.

Yao Zi already proved herself and everyone already agreed to her joining, so why was he still acting so vague?

Cough, dont be so impatient as for joining the team I still have to think about it.

What?

Everyone was surprised when they heard him.

Abra, is there something wrong with you? We already agreed before that she could join if she could prove herself, so how can you go back on your word?

Thats right and shes so strong, so with her, we can surely chase the demonic beasts away! what are you hesitating for?

Faced with their questions, Abra waved his hands to get them to quiet down. Then he fell silent and made a decision.

I still have to discuss this matter over with them.

He ignored everyone elses doubts and chased them all out. Then he took Lin Tian, Yao Zi, Lin Xiao, and the others back into the small room.

Uncle, what do you want?

Now that its just us left, Ill keep it short.

Abra closed the door and spoke quietly.

Theres no problem with letting Lin Tian and Yao Zi join, but I have a request.

What request?

Lin Xiao, please join us!

Wait what?
