I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 816 Let the students do the verbal battle first.

Li Si listened to Havel's "passionate" speech for only a short while before losing interest.

Anyway, it's always the same old stuff, so he's too lazy to respond.

More importantly, he had already secretly used soul magic to check Havel's condition.

Havel was not subjected to any soul control or consciousness modification spells, and he was quite confident in what he was proclaiming.

In other words, he genuinely believed that his "criticism" of the Source of All Laws was correct, and that his suggestions were truly useful to the Source of All Laws and the Pan-Continental Law Masters Association.

However, without realizing it, Javier subconsciously forgot some things he needed to be careful about.

For example, "reverence"!
It's clear that someone did tamper with Havel, and the method was quite sophisticated.

Only a legendary mage who is an expert in the relevant field could tell the difference.

However, this was not a problem for Li Si.

Who can blame him for being so versatile?

But this also shows that someone is indeed targeting him.

Moreover, the opponent's strength was quite remarkable. At least Li Si could only tell that someone had tampered with Havel, but he couldn't find out exactly who it was.

However, there are other ways.

Within the Pan-Continental Mage Association, only a very small group of people possess this ability.

Li Si stood still, and soon a black cat appeared on his shoulder.

The black cat licked its paws with its pink little tongue, stretched lazily, and looked at Li Si, saying:

"What do you want?"

"I'm taking a nap!"

"How long has this been going on? Communicate with the association's intelligent life form to retrieve the records and see if there are similar situations elsewhere in the association."

Li Si pointed to Havel in front of him and said to the black cat.

"This one?"

Black Cat glanced at Havel and quickly searched its database.

After a moment, the black cat nodded and said:
"This person has been staying in front of the mage tower for four days, spreading his views, and leaving every day at night."

"After observation, the magical intelligence determined that only 3.2% of the members of the Source of All Laws agreed with Havel's ideas, which was deemed to have no impact on the Source of All Laws. Therefore, no measures were taken to avoid being targeted by other schools of thought."

"According to the intelligence obtained from the association's magical intelligence, there is no city in the territory of the Pan-Continental Mage Association that is in the same situation as Havel."

"However, the number of discussions and exchanges about the [Source of All Laws] school in various places has increased by 16%, and 12 of these cases, which may have been influenced by others, have been observed, all of which are located in the city of Jonas."

"I see."

Li Si listened carefully to the black cat's data and nodded slightly.

This intelligence was collected by the magical intelligent lifeforms of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, especially regarding the monitoring of public opinion within the association.

Li Si only learned of this intelligence after receiving authorization from the Third Speaker.

This is an authority reserved for the three chairpersons of the association; the other legendary councilors are unaware of the existence of such intelligence.

Li Si had not paid attention to this intelligence before.

After all, even the Association's magical intelligence detection was of little use to those legendary councilors.

The information about the legendary figures was of little significance to Li Si.

However, it has now come in handy.

It is obvious that someone is secretly manipulating things in this public opinion storm related to the "Source of All Laws".

However, doing so is not very meaningful.

Therefore, the other side definitely has a backup plan.
Just as Li Si was pondering, the crowd before the New Year began to stir again.

"Cole, where are you going?"

Nelson grabbed Cole, who was trying to rush forward, and said with some curiosity.

Joel, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised.

The three of them were also heading to the library of the mage tower to continue reading the magic books they hadn't finished before.

Since their previous collaboration, the three of them have formed a team to work together.

As I passed by, I heard Havel continuing his "preaching".

The three of them understood what Havel was trying to say as soon as they heard it.

Cole couldn't resist any longer and pushed his way into the crowd.

"Of course we should refute that person!"

"That guy is shameless. I remember he was a member of our school. I even saw him in the library."

"And now you're slandering the teacher, it's outrageous!"

"I'm a little indignant," Cole said.

"Don't rush, Cole."

Hal held Cole's hand, looking somewhat worried.

For some reason, she always felt something was off, having grown up in the Tower of Ashes.

"You don't need to go. I'll go with you!"

Nelson initially wanted to stop Cole from getting involved, but then he changed his mind and didn't try to stop him anymore.

This isn't a bad thing for Cole.

As a disciple of Li Si, perhaps this is the time for him to step forward.
Without Nelson's interference, Cole quickly squeezed through the crowd and stood before Javier.

Seeing that Havel was still continuing his argument, Cole said loudly:
"Javier, I remember you."

"Aren't you also a member of the [Source of All Laws]? How dare you slander His Majesty Li Si and the [Source of All Laws] here?"

"So you've been reading all those books in the library for nothing?"

"No! I was just expressing my own opinion and thoughts, and I had no intention of slandering His Majesty Li Si."

Javier was initially a little annoyed that someone had suddenly recognized him and interrupted his speech.

But upon hearing what Cole said, his expression immediately changed.

In his previous speeches, he had consistently avoided mentioning the leader of the "Source of All Laws," His Excellency Li Si.

It was because he was very clear that the gap between him and that being was simply too vast.

Even if what he said is true, if he shows the slightest disrespect, he could very well be finished.

Even if His Majesty Li Si doesn't care, many people will be happy to take the initiative to teach him a lesson.

So, upon hearing Cole's words, he was immediately startled.

While Havel hurriedly retorted, the mages watching the commotion began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is this young man? He's quite brave!"

"They actually dared to mention that person on their own initiative, aren't they afraid of saying the wrong thing?"

“I know him. He’s the first Cole to publish a paper in the school’s magic journal. It’s said that he might become His Majesty Li Si’s student, but this news has not been confirmed.”

"Such a thing could happen? Judging from the current situation, it seems possible that it might be true?"

"This is interesting! I love watching the excitement!"

"Ha, you don't even dare to mention His Majesty Li Si's name, yet you dare to spout nonsense here?"

Cole looked at Javier in front of him and said coldly.

"My respect for His Excellency Li Si has never changed; I am merely expressing some concerns about the school of thought."

Havel noticed that Cole in front of him was just a young man, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He pondered for a moment and said, "It is precisely because I have felt the benefits that the Source of All Laws has brought to all of us that I hope the future of the Source of All Laws will be even better!"

"Is there a problem with this too?"

Faced with Javier's rebuttal, Cole shook his head and calmly said:
"If you really cared about the [Source of All Laws], you wouldn't be making things up here."

"You've taken something that never happened and used it to create a story about the 'Source of All Laws,' which is nothing but your imagination."

"If your intentions were good, you wouldn't need to spout nonsense here and try to attract attention in this way."

"I remember that if any members of the [Source of All Laws] have any questions, they can report them to the magical intelligent life form Black Cat, and they will definitely get a response."

"Moreover, the school's 'World' journal is where our members express their views."

"Even things unrelated to magical knowledge can be published as long as they have enough significance. I remember His Majesty Li Si published his paper on the future development of the association in [World].

"If you have these ideas, why not write them down as a paper and publish them in a world-renowned journal?"

"Is it because you know your skill level is too low, and you can't even write fluent sentences?"

Cole fired off a barrage of rebuttals, while Nelson and Joel looked at Cole with surprise.

This guy seems a bit off today.

Is this still the Cole I know?

Cole's words drew nods of agreement from the onlookers.

That's true. After joining the "Source of All Laws," they did indeed feel the relaxed atmosphere within the school.

Before this, they had mainly come for the school's library and magic books.

Even without those benefits, the other advantages and benefits brought by the Source of All Laws are enough to make them stay.

Compared to the schools of thought they joined before, the gap is even greater.

Upon hearing this, Havel was momentarily at a loss for words.

However, he quickly calmed down and said:
"I admit that it was somewhat inappropriate for me to express my opinion here so abruptly."

"But you can't deny that what I said is indeed possible?"

"Am I not even allowed the freedom to discuss this here?"

"Humph!"

Cole shook his head, looking at Javier with disdain, and said:
"In the end, you don't understand His Majesty Li Si's true intentions at all."

"Just as His Majesty Li Si mentioned in his discussion on the current state of the Pan-Continental Mage Association over the past thousand years, the current operating models of various schools of thought are no longer suitable for the current Gaia world."

"The association has not made any new breakthroughs or expanded into new magical fields for a long time."

"Ultimately, the problem is that the association has lost its vital 'fresh blood'!"

"Compared to other extraordinary professions, and compared to mage professionals outside the association, the path to advancement within the association is far too narrow."

"Most people spend their energy on completing tasks, earning contributions, and exchanging knowledge."

"I spend too little time on magical research."

"Such associations, while stable, have lost their vitality."

"It was under these circumstances that His Majesty Li Si established the [Source of All Laws], wanting to find another direction for change for the Association and for all of us."

"And now, you dare to speculate on His Majesty Li Si's thoughts without understanding anything. Aren't you misinterpreting His Majesty Li Si's intentions?"

"With three Speakers present and numerous members of the Legendary Council here, could His Majesty Li Si possibly control the entire Association through the [Source of All Laws]?"

"Don't make me laugh!"

Faced with Cole's series of questions, Javier's face began to flush, and he tried to defend himself:
"You're just slandering me, you!"

"What are you!"

Cole interrupted Javier, saying with utter contempt:

"In the end, you only have a superficial understanding of the [Source of All Laws]. You proudly spread your absurd conjectures everywhere."

"I advise you to go home and read some books, read the association's journal articles, and then think about other things."

"Oh, right."

"I forgot, with your IQ you probably can't even understand a paper, the journals the association sends you are a complete waste of paper."

"Otherwise, if his mind wasn't full of nonsense, how could he say such a thing?"

"clown!"

Although Cole didn't use a single swear word, he insulted Javier to the extreme.

Feeling the mocking and disdainful looks from the onlookers around him, Javier could no longer bear it and quickly squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

"Huh, that's it?"

Cole raised his head slightly, feeling that he hadn't had enough.

"You're amazing now! You're like a completely different person compared to when you were in school!"

Joelson patted Cole on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Indeed, very handsome!"

Joel gripped the corner of his robe tightly with his right hand and looked at Cole as he spoke softly.

She suddenly felt that Cole had become somewhat unfamiliar.

Did this change begin when Cole became a disciple of Lord Lis?
But this feeling isn't bad!
"It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching!"

Cole rubbed his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said...

She just spoke her mind.

After that conversation with Mr. Li Si, the teacher became the greatest person in Cole's mind, and the person he admired and longed for the most.

"Let's go, let's continue to the library."

"It's a real shame to waste time on people like this."

Cole shook his head and said that, and then the three of them walked towards the mage tower.

Not far away, Li Si watched his departing disciple and nodded in satisfaction.

That's quite well said!

"Li Si, your disciple is quite interesting!"

The black cat perched on Li Si's shoulder said, waving its little paws, and seemed to enjoy Cole's scolding.

"They're growing quite fast."

Li Si said with a smile, and then returned to the mage tower.

Although his disciple retorted, Li Si did not believe that the matter would end there.

The opponent hasn't revealed their true cards yet!
Just as Li Si was pondering his next steps, he felt a warm, delicate body press against him from behind.

Li Si raised an eyebrow and reached behind him with his right hand as his ear was gently nibbled by a wet, soft tongue.

A stunningly beautiful face appeared in his arms.

Li Si kissed the alluring red lips of the girl in his arms and said with a smile:

"Lisa, why are you being so proactive today?"

"I feel like I haven't seen you in ages."

Lisa buried her head in Li Si's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and whispered.

Feeling the increasingly hot and alluring body in his arms, Li Si didn't say much and carried Lisa directly to the room.
