“What the hell? This is definitely not the doing of a martial artist!”
“I’m not detecting any martial energy from him at all! This old man must be an immortal!”
“Where on earth does the Jantz family hire such people? I want to hire one too!”
Everyone in the crowd gasped in surprise and disbelief. The situation had far surpassed their
expectations at that point.
Venicus broke into a gleeful smile when he saw their response.
“Is this good enough for you, kid?” he asked.
Jared shook his head and sneered as he replied coldly, “I’m talking about actual strength, not magic
tricks! Your illusion magic is impressive, but you can’t fool me!”
He then lightly waved his hand in the air, emitting a blinding golden light that illuminated the entire
place.
As the light faded, the crowd was once again surprised when they saw Jared and Venicus standing
atop the arena’s ruins.
They were completely unable to comprehend what had just happened before their eyes.
Venicus’ face was twisted with frustration, and he narrowed his eyes as he said, “I didn’t expect to meet
a fellow mage… In that case, I’ll send you to your death!”
A second later, Venicus pulled out eight black chess pieces and tossed them in a circle around the
arena.Eight pillars of light emerged the moment the pieces hit the ground, instantly surrounding Jared and
Venicus inside.
“It doesn’t matter how skilled you are in magecraft. You won’t be able to use any of it when you’re
trapped in my Soultrapper Formation!” Venicus shouted gleefully.
“Is that so?” Jared simply flashed him a cold sneer without saying anything else. Looks like Master
Venicus here will become my next resource in cultivation!
“What the hell? Is this a divine martial art? Are they seriously going to do battle in there?”
“This is definitely divine martial art! That old man must be an immortal!”
“No, I think he’s a mage. These are just magecraft techniques that we’re seeing. I hear there are plenty
of mages in the southwest states. Some of them even keep spirits or ghosts as pets!” someone
explained to those who were ignorant.
Within the Soultrapper Formation, Venicus made Jared a final offer. “Last chance, kid! Become my
disciple, and you will have a bright future ahead of you!”
“I’m the one giving you a last chance here. You’d better surrender those magical items you have if you
want me to spare your life!” Jared retorted.
He could sense strong spiritual energy coming from Venicus’ chest.
Venicus clutched at his clothes and shot Jared a cautious glare. “Don’t you dare touch my magical
items! I’ll kill you if you even try to!”novelbinConcealed in his clothes was the thousand-year ginseng that the Jantz family had gifted him. He
carried it on him as it was indeed a very precious magical item.
“Enough talk! Let’s do this!”
Jared was getting a little impatient at that point.
“Fine by me!” With a loud yell, Venicus vanished into the shadows within his Soultrapper Formation. A
second later, he appeared right behind Jared and delivered a palm strike to his back.
Jared simply scoffed as he turned around to grab Venicus by the wrist, neutralizing his attack instantly.
Venicus let out a surprised gasp before vanishing into the shadows again.
“If running around is all you’re going to do, then I’ll just destroy this formation of yours!” Jared said as
he grabbed a pillar of light and absorbed it directly into his body.
He then repeated the same step with the remaining pillars of light and crushed the chess pieces on the
ground.
Venicus’ position was immediately revealed, and he stared at Jared in terror.
