Chapter 33: The Unstoppable Kennan
"Does this guy have unlimited magic power?"
Seeing the hundreds of fireballs flying toward him, Sloe-Mind's heart raced.
Although Fireball was only a First-Tier spell, the sheer number of them could seriously injure him if he were hit.
"Water Element Shield!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Mind quickly unleashed his magic, forming a large shield in front of him.
The fireballs struck the shield and were blocked.
Seeing the fireballs being stopped, Mind smirked.
"Kennan, your strength is indeed impressive, but as a water-element mage, I have the perfect counter to your magic."
He was ranked a level higher than Kennan, and while the fireballs looked intimidating, they didn't pose a real threat to him.
"Is that so?"
Kennan grinned as the magic around him suddenly pulsed.
In Mind's shocked gaze, cracks began to appear in his water-element shield.
"Boom..."
"Ugh…"
In the next moment, the shield shattered, and the remaining fireballs struck Mind directly.
With a spurt of blood, Mind was sent flying.
"This... how is this possible? Mind is at the Archmage level, and he was still defeated by Kennan?"
"Incredible! He was a whole level higher, but still lost. When did Kennan become this powerful?"
The crowd murmured in disbelief, looking at the heavily injured Mind on the ground. However, the elders on the high platform were not surprised.
With Kennan's magical control, Mind's spells were essentially useless, making his defeat inevitable.
"I think it's best if all of you come at me together."
Kennan said casually.
The other disciples frowned, now fully aware of Kennan's overwhelming strength.
But if they all attacked together and somehow defeated him, it wouldn't feel like a true victory.
"Do as you wish."
Lawrence interjected.
He understood that this trial was essentially meant to showcase Kennan's abilities.
In fact, Lawrence was curious to see where Kennan's limits lay.
Seeing the Grand Elder's approval, the other disciples exchanged glances, then raised their wands and attacked Kennan.

"Boss, the Sloe family is having quite the commotion today, with even a Mage Emperor present."
In the shop, Meylan spoke to Sylvus with a smile.
He had already sensed the powerful auras gathering in the direction of the Sloe family, one of which was so strong that he didn't dare probe it further.
Sylvus didn't respond. He was lying back in his chair, having taken a pill to cultivate since there wasn't much business that day.
As time passed and the shop was about to close, a figure appeared in the alley.
"Boss, I want to buy some pills."
Hearing the voice, Sylvus opened his eyes and saw that it was Kennan.
Kennan was smiling, and the magical energy around him was fluctuating.
"Looks like you just came from a battle. What kind of pills are you looking for?" Sylvus asked.
"I just taught a few worthless people a lesson. I want pills that can boost my level. Money isn't an issue."
Kennan said as he placed a magic storage ring on the counter, containing 100,000 magic crystals.
Just a short while ago, Kennan had faced a group assault from the Sloe family disciples, yet he remained unfazed.
Thanks to the mana restoration pills he had purchased from Sylvus's shop, Kennan's magic seemed limitless.
In just a few minutes, he had defeated all the family's disciples, leaving everyone in shock.
Afterward, Masi personally met with Kennan, promising him full support for his development.
Kennan was thrilled. He had once been insignificant within the family, but now even the family head had met with him in person.
Despite this, Kennan wasn't particularly interested in the family's cultivation resources.
After securing some magic crystals from Masi, he headed straight to Sylvus's shop.
"Looks like you've finally come into some wealth."
Sylvus smiled as he signaled for Meylan to fetch the pills.
"I owe it all to your pills, Boss."
Kennan smiled in return.
Just a few days ago, he had been a despised outcast.
Now, he was regarded as the Sloe family's greatest talent.
All of this began with his decision to buy pills from Sylvus's shop.
Meylan soon brought the pills Kennan requested.
After storing them, Kennan was about to leave when a voice called out from outside.
"Boss, I'm here… Wait, what are you doing here?"
The newcomer was Corvin, who stopped in his tracks upon seeing Kennan in the shop.
After the Sloe family's trial ended, Corvin had planned to return home.
But on the way, he realized there wasn't much waiting for him there.
Remembering that Sylvus had mentioned the shop carried pills that could enhance his strength, Corvin decided to stop by.
He hadn't expected to find Kennan there.
"Don't tell me the reason you've gotten stronger is because of the boss's pills?"
Corvin asked, looking at Kennan.
Corvin had done his research. Kennan had been a known failure up until recently, but then suddenly grew stronger.
Now, seeing Kennan in Sylvus's shop, Corvin couldn't help but put two and two together.
"My strength…"
Before Kennan could respond, another voice interrupted from a distance.
"I didn't expect to find both of you here. I've been looking for you."
