Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 28: The Power of Marcus's "Sharp"
Ron looked at him coldly. "Your Excellency's servant intended to steal. I think the law enforcement team can easily find out."

"Oh?" Marcus narrowed his eyes.

"It's a pity there are only three of us here now. When the law enforcement team arrives, I'm afraid that only Dani and I will be left with our testimony."

As he spoke, his eyes emitted a strange light, and an invisible spiritual wave began to spread in the corridor.

This is the mental interference ability after breaking through to become an apprentice. It can directly affect the target's thinking and reaction. It is also the essential ability that makes wizards stronger than other supernatural systems.

In the mortal realm, this kind of mental interference is enough to throw any powerful knight into chaos, and only "demon hunters" who are also good at mental things can resist it.

But when one reaches the formal wizard level, this kind of mental fluctuation is not interference, but a brain explosion.

Ron felt his mind was dazed for a moment, but he quickly regained consciousness.

He gripped the wooden sword tightly, a cold glint in his eyes.

Marcus's expression changed slightly when he saw that Ron was able to resist the mental interference, but he soon revealed a cold smile again:
"As expected of someone who can kill aberrations, his mental strength is indeed not weak, but..."

While Ron was briefly dizzy, a ball of dark red energy began to gather in his hands. It was some kind of offensive zero-ring spell.

"Do you think you can resist the power of an apprentice with just a broken wooden sword?"

Ron held the wooden sword in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This sword has been replaced once. He bought it at the Apprentice Market a few days ago for six magic stone fragments. It is made of a rare wood called "Blackheart Ironwood".

This kind of tree grows deep in the black fog jungle. Its wood is as hard as fine steel, and what's even more rare is that it also has a hint of natural magic resistance.

Ron stared at Marcus calmly, the ironwood sword gently turning in his hand, the tip of the sword drooping slightly, in a posture that seemed relaxed but contained murderous intent.
“If you don’t try, how will you know if it’s enough?”

A hint of anger flashed in Marcus' eyes, and his ugly face almost twisted into a ball.

Dark red energy continued to condense in his palm, and now it had formed a fist-sized energy ball.

Dark arc-like light kept flashing on the surface of the energy ball, and the air was filled with an uncomfortable burning smell.

"Go to hell!"

Marcus roared, and a ball of energy shot out.

This is his best zero-ring spell "Burning Ball", which has become extremely powerful after being improved by his brother.

The energy ball left a dark red trail in the air, and the air wherever it passed was distorted due to the high temperature.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, Ron moved his body slightly at the moment when the energy ball was about to hit him.

The breathing rhythm of "Coronal Breathing" was perfectly integrated with his sword moves at this moment.

The moment you inhale, the iron and wooden sword begins to gather momentum; the moment you hold your breath, the sword's momentum is condensed but not released; when you exhale, the sword light pours out like flowing water.

The skilled swordsmanship displayed astonishing power.

"Buzzing..."

The energy ball hit the sword head-on, making a heart-shaking roar.

Dark red energy waves spread out in all directions like raging waves, leaving scorch marks on the walls of the corridor.

But the ironwood sword in Ron's hand remained motionless.

The unique magic resistance of Blackheart Ironwood combined with the rhythm of "Corona Swordsmanship" perfectly dissipated this violent energy.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the sword, but after cutting the energy ball, no major damage occurred.

"This is impossible!"

Marcus' eyes widened, and the sadistic look on his face instantly turned into disbelief.

He was very aware of the power of his attack. Even a weapon made of fine steel would be twisted and deformed in the high temperature if hit.

But his shock had not yet ended. At the moment the energy ball was dissolved, Ron's figure approached like a ghost.

The ironwood sword drew a strange arc in the air. The sword seemed light, but it contained a heart-pounding power.

"Energy barrier!"

Marcus hurriedly activated the protective spell.

A shield formed before him, complex runes gleaming on the translucent barrier.

As a mere novice apprentice, he actually knew very few spells that he could master and use in combat, and he did not have the ability to quickly and instantly create such a solid energy shield.

But who made him have a powerful brother who gave him a solidified automatic activation one-time spell model.

Marcus just felt relieved when he felt a huge force hitting the shield.

Ron's sword moves seem ordinary, but they contain the special rhythm of the "Coronal Breathing Technique".

The sword's momentum and breathing are perfectly coordinated. Every breath can drive the change of the sword's momentum, making the seemingly ordinary slash have a special penetrating power.

["Sharp" attribute triggered, weaknesses broken! Basic Swordsmanship EXP +2]

"Crack!"

Spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the shield.

Marcus felt a chill running from his spine to the top of his head, and he quickly stepped back to create some distance.

The spiritual shield that he was so proud of was almost shattered by a sword from a candidate apprentice!
"How could you?"

His voice was trembling.

As a guy who has a strong backer but bullies the weak and fears the strong, when has he ever suffered such a setback in the school? And his opponent is just a candidate apprentice!

At this tense moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

"Law enforcement team, stop right there!"

A team of law enforcement officers in gray-white uniforms walked quickly over, led by a senior apprentice who looked a little lazy and wore a deep sapphire badge.

He yawned and glanced casually at the scene.

"It's you restless guys again."

The law enforcement captain shook his head helplessly, "How many times has this happened?"

Marcus immediately put on a humble face:

"Respected Captain Peter, this candidate apprentice attacked my servant for no reason and..."

"Shut up!" Peter interrupted him impatiently:
"Oliver is your brother, right? I'm kind of familiar with him, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want here."

He casually glanced at Dany's severed hand and the blood on the ground, and said lazily:

"My sentence is—you two will be locked up in solitary confinement for half a month. Just in time to calm down together."

Marcus's expression turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected the other party to be completely unmoved by this. "But..."

"Nothing but." Peter waved his hand, signaling the other law enforcement officers to come forward: "Take them all away."

Just as the law enforcement officers were about to take the two away, Peter suddenly whispered in Ron's ear:

"Holt asked us to take care of you a little, so we're doing him a favor this time. But next time, it's best not to make such a big fuss."

This noise wasn't something he intended to make...

Ron nodded helplessly, secretly noting Holt's favor in his heart.
