    The Bloodline Hall:


    In an isted space, several ck figures appeared one by one. They are the higher-ups of the bloodline who appeared in a disguised form.


    These people immediately started to converse with each other.


    "Have you guys seen that Sub-Taboo brat?" One of them asked.


    "He is making waves right now."


    "That kid''s progression was no less than that of a Sub-Taboo girl."


    The dark dogs immediately began to share their thoughts. The motive of the Bloodline Hall was not a hidden secret.


    They want to dominate the whole academy. So they don''t want another Hall to be stronger all of a sudden.


    Everyone was aware that the Battle Trial was still going on. But they didn''t have any expectations whatsoever right now.


    Vincent has shown some strength but that''s all. It will not make others scared. But Vincent''s name was already on their target list


    If he bes stronger, then his rank in their target list would increase as well.


    The number of ck dogs starts to increase. The Elemental Hall and the Bloodline Hall have the most number of wizards.


    So the high-ranking wizards are naturally high in numbers.


    Shortly after, a powerful ck fog appeared. The presence alone immediately quieted down the surroundings.


    The ck fog was so dense that it was making others hard to see. The person raised his head and looked down at others.


    Their conversations were heard by him. His eyes flickered for a moment before it returned to normal.


    "I came here for an important matter. There is a chance for our Bloodline Hall to rise the rank," He said.


    When he uttered those words. The faces of the people changed drastically. Everyone understands the meaning of an increase in rank.


    The Bloodline Hall is already monopolizing the academy''s resources. It''s all because of the number of powerful wizards in the Bloodline Hall.


    Not only do the numbers add strength to the academy. But also keeps the Bloodline Hall stable and strong in the academy.


    So what is the opportunity? At this point, most of them already have guesses in their mind.


    The person behind the dense fog chuckled. He knew most of them had guessed it.


    "That''s right, the wizard hallpetition is going to happen before the end of the year. If we secure a higher rank, we will gain more resources from the academy," He said.


    Hearing that small exmation sounded among the high-ranking wizards. The Wizard Competition is a prestigious event that happens every year in the academy.


    Most importantly, the results of thepetition determine the ranking of the wizard halls. So the higher-ups are connected to the event.


    They didn''t even think about Vincent Carey. Regarding Vincent Carey, he was being followed by one of the high-ranking wizards.


    But Vincent''s name was not enough to cause any disturbance. In the eyes of level-7 and level-8 wizards. Vincent Carey is a big who can be crushed at any time they want.


    So right now the wizard hallpetition is ringing everyone''s mind.


    The person hiding in the dense fog then said, "Since you guys understand the importance of the event. I want everyone to train your disciples and subordinates."


    "If they perform well, not only them, you guys will be rewarded as well," He said.


    The atmosphere turned pin drop silence.


    Thepetition is not only important for the Hall but also them. If their Hall managed to get a good ranking this year. Then they would get huge resources.


    Seeing the reaction of everyone, the person behind the dark fog was satisfied. Before going away, he remembered the important news.


    "Oh, yes."


    "One more thing. The dean ising back to our academy. So stop any kind of rule-breaking activities. He might find any opportunity to suppress us," After saying that the dense fog disappeared.


    Gasp~


    "The dean ising back."


    "No wonder the big fish came to talk to us."


    The remaining people started to converse. While others started leaving one by one.


    At this time, a dark fog was looking at everyone. The person is none other than the woman who gave a forbidden potion to Tony But.


    She felt d that the matter of Vincent Carey was not brought up before everyone. Dealing against Vincent Carey was one of the many ns of Bloodline Hall.


    So it was not their main priority. There are groups in the Bloodline Hall''s high-ranking members as well.


    Their group took on the task of eliminating Vincent Carey. Her mouth curved into an arc. The news of the wizard hallpetition came at the right time.


    Now everyone will be distracted because of this event. In the meantime, they can eliminate Vincent Carey.


    After taking a nce at everyone, she disappeared silently.


    ...


    Meanwhile,


    Mike Curtis in the Taboo Hall was dumbfounded again. "His rank rose again," He muttered to himself.


    He saw Vincent Carey had cleared the 5th floor. Now he has entered the next floor. Seeing the clearance speed, his heart set off storms.


    "How could it be possible?" A hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes.


    Because he saw the clearance speed was almost the same for every floor. This means Vincent Carey is taking 15-20 minutes on each floor.


    Shouldn''t the higher floors be difficult to clear? He said to himself.


    He looks at the Battle Tower updates with uneasiness in his heart.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    15 minutester,


    His eyes were set on the screen. "Don''t tell me the speed would be the same again?" Mike mumbled under his breath.


    After a few minutes, his eyebrows ease down a little. Vincent hasn''t cleared this round. Which shows he is facing a challenge right now.


    "Good"


    "Good," Mike muttered to himself. He thought his record would be broken easily. But fortunately, Vincent has slowed down his speed.


    The uing floors will be even harder. Seeing that 20 minutes had passed, he finally sat down leisurely.


    Battle Tower,


    Not only Mike Curtis saw through this situation. Many wizard groups standing outside of the Battle Tower have also seen this situation.


    Carolina has realized something must have happened in the Trial. This shows the Trail has not be easy anymore.


    ...


    From MC''s Perspective:


    The purple centipede monster startsing after me. Seeing that I rushed deep into the woods.


    It''s difficult to kill that monster in an open field. On top of it, I''m getting a sense of crisis from it. I don''t know what other weird abilities monsters have.


    Ssshh~


    Before I could think further. I saw the poisonous liquid hitting the towering trees in front of me.


    Right after, the towering trees start to decay right in front of my eyes. The poison is instantly destroying the target.


    I don''t think my physique is capable of handling it.


    Rumble~


    Behind me, the centipede monster is destroying all the hurdles on the way. I thought it would give up after entering the woods.


    But it looks like it''s not. I underestimated the intellect of the monster.


    I didn''t slow down my speed. But I know if this goes on my stamina will start to reduce. So it''s best to find some hiding spot.


    Behind, the purple centipede was spitting poison from its mouth from time to time. All the hard rocks blocking their way melted down the next second.


    Suddenly, it notices the prey is getting further away. Seeing that changes start to take ce.


    The huge centipede body is starting to shrink in size. Soon the size was reduced to 1 meter.


    Swish~


    But the purple centipede explodes with great speed the next second. In a blink of an eye, it reaches the prey.


    Meanwhile,


    Speeding through the forest. The sense crisis was not reduced at all, instead, it became even heavier.


    My expression turned grave. Now I realize the horror of higher-order monsters. This one monster is alone to wreck my hometown. I''m d that such monsters aren''t living there.


    [Ding! Warning!]


    [Danger Detected!]


    [Host is advised to cast the instant spell]


    The mechanical voice sounded in my mind all of a sudden.


    Right after, my heart palpitates.


    "Repulsive Force," I cast the spell.


    A repelling force was released from the body. The next second, the wave collides with the purple centipede.


    Boom~


    The collision force swept away the nearby surroundings. As the collision happened right behind my back. The force impacted me.


    Crash~


    Right after, my body flew forwards and crashed to the ground.


    Meanwhile,


    The purple centipede''s shell starts to crack. As the monster took the direct brunt of the repulsive force.


    The shells are damaged from the impact. Sensing the danger, the purple monster escaped with its injured body.


    A few minutester,


    The dust settles down. The surroundings be more clear.


    Argh~


    A muffled grunt left my mouth. I was impacted by my repulsive force. Apart from feeling the dizziness, the rest of the body parts are fine.


    After checking both internally and externally, I stood up from the ground.


    There are some superficial skin injuries because of the bad crash. But my mana core was fine.


    Suddenly,a realization struck my mind.


    "What about the purple centipede?" I muttered to myself.


    I slowly recalled the memories before the impact. The purple centipede monster seemed to be small in size.
