Chapter 16: You Still Won

Hence, what Zhang Feng and Xia Xi were comparing now was the accumulation of energy and magic power as mages, as well as the time needed to condense it.

It could only be said that the longer one stored energy, the greater the area of effect. Of course, the effect of the attack would also be stronger.

Low-level mages could freeze some smaller things when they cast their skills, such as a group of ants or some grass on the ground.

However, some of the more powerful mages could freeze an entire forest if they had enough time to gather their abilities.

Therefore, many mages would choose to use freezing as a beginner skill.

Zhang Feng had already drunk the Crimsonbull Energy Drink and was now at level 18. However, he had never had the chance to use any skills or magical powers, so he did not know how to use them.

Zhang Feng secretly asked the system, “Can you tell me how to release these spells?”

Zhang Feng used his brain to communicate with the system.

The system said, “Think of a solution yourself. I’m just a system. I’m not your teacher. How can you ask me everything?”

Zhang Feng was utterly speechless. How could such a system support its host? Do you believe that I’ll give you a one-star bad review?!

He knew that he could not rely on the system. Then, Zhang Feng looked at Xia Xi and said with a smile, “I can compete with you, but first, tell me how to release magic.”

Xia Xi was speechless. “Boss, aren’t you a warrior?”

Even so, in order to continue the competition, Xia Xi still told Zhang Feng the secret to releasing magic.

Zhang Feng learned quickly. “Alright, I understand. Let’s begin!” He raised his staff high.

The two of them said in unison, “Ice Nova!” They started to condense magic on their staffs.

Now that Zhang Feng was at level-18, he had a little bit of magic enhancement as well. Furthermore, he had both magic and physical attributes in his body. Hence, it was a piece of cake for him.

Seeing that the two of them were gathering energy, Xia He started to nag at the side. “Boss, if you lose to my brother, I don’t want that Crimsonbull Energy Drink anymore. Can you give me the sword instead?”

When Xia He said this, Zhang Feng felt that he was certain that Zhang Feng would lose.

This was of course because, in his opinion, Xia Xi’s magic staff was forged by a Grandmaster. Furthermore, the material used was thousand-year-old peach wood. Compared to his weapon, Xia Xi’s weapon was much better.

Hence, Xia He was certain that Zhang Feng would definitely lose to his brother!

However, Xia He soon had nothing to say. Although Xia He was not a mage, it was still obvious to him which of them was stronger.

It could be seen that the ice magic condensed by Zhang Feng was faster than his brother, it was even twice as fast. Furthermore, the elemental energy within it was comparable to his brother, Xia Xi.

Upon seeing this scene, Xia He was shocked and muttered, “Impossible, this is impossible!” It seemed like Zhang Feng’s shop was not only filled with swords and staffs, but also top-grade items.

Before they could use their abilities, Xia Xi knew that his weapon was definitely not Zhang Feng’s match. Hence, he stopped casting his spells so as not to embarrass himself.

He said, “Alright, boss, we don’t need to compete anymore. I admit defeat.”

Seemed like his weapon had lost. There was nothing much left to say about that. They cannot believe that, be it the Immortal Pills or weapons in Zhang Feng’s shop, they were all hundreds of times better than the other shops.

With no argument, they accepted their loss.

Just as Xia Xi said he admitted defeat, the system announced while sounding a little happier: Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. Letting the guest know how awesome the equipment produced by the system is!

Zhang Feng felt that this system was really just self-interested. Just now, it said that he had failed. Now, it was immediately saying that he had succeeded.

The system continued, “Now, the host will be rewarded with a lucky draw. Would you like to draw now?”

Zhang Feng replied, “No need.”

When Zhang Feng first opened the shop, he was not thinking about these things at all, rewards or whatnot, he would think about it when the shop closed.

At this moment, Xia Xi felt a little embarrassed. Because he had lost the competition, he had to buy the weapons from Zhang Feng. At this moment, he interlaced his hands and said, “I’m really very sorry, Boss. Although we really want to buy your weapons, we don’t have so many Essence Stones on us right now.”

Not to mention Xia He, even Xia Xi wanted to change the weapons in his hands to the ones in Zhang Feng’s shop. The things Zhang Feng’s shop sold were really good, but they just didn’t have that many Essence Stones on them.

Zhang Feng had only said those words casually earlier. Since the other party didn’t have that many Essence Stones, he decided to forget about it. “It’s fine. I’m not the kind of person who would force others to buy or sell things. If you want to buy something next time, just remember me.”

“Oh, right. Actually, the main reason we’re here is to say goodbye to you, Boss.” Xia Xi remembered why he was here.

Zhang Feng placed his weapon back onto the cupboard. After wiping it, he asked, “What happened? Have you completed your trials?”

Xia Xi nodded and said, “Yes, it’s over. That’s why we might be leaving. However, if there’s a chance in the future, I will still come over and patronise your business!”

Zhang Feng was silent for a moment before returning to the cabinet. He took out the ordinary sword and handed it to Xia He. “Earlier, you damaged your weapon during the competition. Since you don’t have a weapon now, I’ll give you this sword.”

Actually, Zhang Feng was not a stingy person. After all, the two brothers of the Xia Family had helped him a lot.
