Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 395 A boring betting battle, but an interesting reward

A brightly lit gambling arena.

Zhao Manyan led the National Government team to the beautiful female croupier with practiced ease.

He looked at Xu Shen's odds of 5 to 1 and was so happy he looked like a chrysanthemum had sprouted on his face.

The person named "Xu Shen" may be unfamiliar to most people.

However, Allen, who comes from the Theban family, one of the hidden clans of the Mediterranean, is different.

This tall, handsome genius has always been the focus of discussion in the countries along the Mediterranean coast.

His mysterious family background and amazing magic are enough to make him famous.

Therefore, the odds for this match are quite disparate.

Zhao Manyan bet his entire fortune on Xu Shenying without hesitation.

Others followed suit without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone was all smiles.

Opportunities like finding money by chance are extremely rare.

As a result, they also started to find Allen in the arena more pleasing to the eye.

Not long after they left, a veiled woman with cunning, fox-like eyes also smiled and cast a bet.

"The battle begins!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the hall.

The noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

During the battle, Allen's demeanor changed drastically, becoming as cold and aloof as an iceberg.

He's not brain-dead.

To be willing to share a husband with two stunning beauties, one must have some skill in every aspect.

The instant the referee finished speaking, his body flashed with various colors of light, and in the blink of an eye, a magnificent staff appeared in his hand, and his well-tailored suit transformed into a bright silver battle armor.

At the center of the staff, which was formed by two intertwined snakes, sat a large golden gem, with each snake's mouth holding a purple and a silver gem.

The handsome armor was crackling with purple electric arcs, adding a touch of alluring evil.

In short, he was filled with the power of spending money on in-game purchases.

"Thunder Seal!"

Allen gave a low shout, and his staff shone brightly.

Arcs of electricity, like raging pythons, spread throughout the entire arena in an instant.

This is his usual starting move. Although it is only a basic magic spell, it is very advantageous in restricting the enemy's movement in the naturally narrow combat space of the arena.

"It's actually a level five lightning seal!"

Mo Fan was somewhat surprised.

This guy can't possibly have a small loach gathering its essence like him, can he?

So, that staff...

He was a little envious.

On the battlefield, Xu Shen remained calm and composed. With a light stroke of his finger, a faint green light condensed into star trails, and several vines intertwined to form a green net that enveloped Xu Shen. Despite the raging electric arcs, the net could not be shaken in the slightest.

Unlike most plant species, the Immortal Vine possesses unparalleled magical resistance.

Even a level five lightning seal couldn't possibly penetrate the Immortal Vine and harm him.

Allen's pupils contracted slightly.

He recognized the famous Immortal Vine.

However, this rare plant species can only produce one offspring every hundred years, and it's considered good if two or three people in the world possess one in the same era.

Where did this Asian come from?

A sense of unease rose in his heart.

He tightened his grip on the staff, and streaks of silver starlight instantly coalesced into a dazzling star map.

The space centered on Allen felt strangely stagnant, even the airflow slowed down.

"It's actually a spatial star map!"

Ai Jiangtu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to control dimensional magic.

Even with the convenience of the staff, a single thought star map is still a single thought star map.

Even he had only recently mastered this ability.

Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved.

With just this one skill, Allen is likely to be a formidable opponent among the younger generation.

pity……

Ai Jiangtu still vividly remembers the scene when he first met Xu Shen, and how Xu Shen easily broke free from his mental control and directly put him in a throat lock.

To his surprise, Xu Shen did not choose to break free violently, but instead watched with great interest as Allen continued to cast the spell.

Allen ignored Xu Shen's movements.

The power of dimensional magic was unmatched across all magic systems. He believed that a mid-level spatial rhythm would be enough to suppress Xu Shen, making it difficult for him to move. He concentrated on manipulating his staff, silently chanting an incantation, and gently shook the staff, causing a faint star map to take shape.

Xu Shen recognized this kind of magic.

The Parthenon Temple's exclusive mid-level blessing magic, "Blessing," can increase the power of magic by at least 50%.

Bathed in the blessed holy light, another purple star map was completed in one go.

"Thunderbolt - Annihilation!"

He shouted loudly, staring intently at Xu Shen.

"Making such a big fuss, how come you're only at the mid-level?"

Xu Shen shook his head slightly, and most of the starlight that had been gathering momentum in his palm dissipated, with the remaining ones instantly forming a star map.

A small, exquisite shield of light hung above his head, perfectly blocking the sudden appearance of thunder and lightning.

Allen was taken aback.

All of his lightning-type star points were enhanced with essence.

With the addition of the Twin Serpent Staff and the effects of Zhu Nan, the power of this thunderbolt could even reach the threshold of a high-level attack.

Such powerful destructive energy cannot be countered by anything other than high-level defensive magic.

But this Easterner...

That's clearly a star map, isn't it?
Allen was starting to question the meaning of life.

Normally, after he unleashes this smooth little combo, very few people can still stand and talk to him.

What's going on with this guy?

"Yes, very energetic."

Xu Shen nodded slightly in appreciation.

This look, as if watching a child play, suddenly enraged Allen.

He took a deep breath, pointed his staff at Xu Shen, and suddenly a silent bolt of lightning shot out.

Xu Shen raised an eyebrow slightly.

This staff is quite nice.

It even has the function of storing magic.

Especially this high-level Silent Thunder Death Ray, which is silent and extremely fast when activated, is a must-have for veteran players.

However, this kid still has some sense of propriety.

The lightning bolt was not aimed at his vital points.

The light-elemental stars that had been swirling in the sea of ​​consciousness rapidly solidified. Before the dazzling purple light stung his eyes, a giant of light blocked Xu Shen's path, grabbing the incoming Thunder Death Ray.

"What kind of magic is this?!"

Allen was shocked.

He had never seen anyone so easily neutralize the Thunder Death Ray.

The giant of light in front of Xu Shen crushed the struggling Silent Thunder Death Ray, turning it into specks of purple light that dissipated.

"Still fighting?"

Xu Shen looked at Allen calmly.

"do not fight."

Allen slumped down, his staff drooping, and jumped off the arena without a word.

The entire arena was completely silent.

In the audience, a captivating gaze fell upon her.

"This guy's gotten even stronger..."

……

That night, Jiang Fox lived up to his "reward".

"Tingting, am I really a pervert?"

Xu Shen looked worried.

Bai Tingting dared not speak, fearing that Xu Shen would drag her away to lecture her, and the speed at which the healing star map condensed increased several notches.

"The more perverse they are, the more they love each other."

Jiang Shaoxu lay on the bed, barely breathing, enjoying Tingting's healing magic. Tears still clung to her rosy face, but her weak voice carried a hint of contentment.

Xu Shen seemed to be deep in thought, his mind stirred with desire.

Bai Tingting shuddered at the burning gaze upon her, so much so that the star chart almost disintegrated.

"Give me...give me some time, I...I'm not ready yet."

Tingting's voice was timid, with a hint of grievance.

Xu Shen was dumbfounded.

He didn't say a word!
