Another gain was that Richard's refinement of the standard fireball technique was another success, which was to reduce the spell chant time by half a second. This is the first and most important step towards the Instant Fireball Technique. Since it is not a standard magic rush, it means that Richard's understanding of the relevant magic principles has reached a new level. In the future, if he can complete magic enhancement or even magic extreme effect, then Richard will have the 'Instant Fireball', a powerful mage's signature magic.

Richard began to carefully organize his appearance in front of the mirror, and people with elven blood naturally paid attention to their appearance. Today, Richard has arranged a special itinerary for himself. He ordered a white bouquet and prepared to throw it out from the terrace on the upper dark blue level. It is said that the tip of the dark blue is close to the trade wind belt, and theoretically, if the flowers are tossed high enough and lucky enough, the year-round trade winds will send the flowers hundreds of kilometers away.

Richard hoped that his mother in heaven would be able to see it.

As always, Richard left the living quarters, carrying the ordered bouquet in his arms, and walked towards the teleportation magic circle that led to the upper level of the dark blue. The teleportation magic array can teleport more than a dozen people to a designated floor at a time, which is the most convenient and fast means of transportation, of course, expensive is another feature of it.

When Richard approached the teleportation array, there were already several young magic apprentices standing next to him. There were a few familiar faces in it, who had taken classes with him before. Anyone else, Richard, had never met. They seemed to be waiting for something, but when Richard walked into the teleportation magic array, they seemed to change their minds and squeezed in together. The teleportation magic array was not large, and there were already several people inside, so it was a little crowded. After shaking for a few seconds, the feeling of restraint that enveloped the body disappeared, a sign of teleportation in place. As the magic light curtain fell, Richard had reached the twentieth layer of dark blue. Here he had to transfer to another teleportation magic circle to the fortieth floor, and so on, and the destination terrace was on the eightieth floor of the dark blue.

Just as Richard stepped out of the light curtain, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and he was actually copied by someone! The unsuspecting Richard exclaimed in surprise and instinctively rushed forward, but he tripped over the obstacle under his feet, and the whole person fell out heavily, sliding straight out of the black stone ground for several meters before stopping. The sharp pain in his body made Richard unable to get up for a while, and the sudden impact also made him a little dizzy, but the bursts of laughter and mockery that erupted from behind him made him understand that he had just been tricked.

That obscene sneak attack was not what Richard cared about the most, but the bouquet he was holding in his arms to give to his mother flew out of his hand when he fell, and fell three or five steps away, not only some petals fell off, but even the bandaged stems and branches were in danger of completely falling apart. Richard was in a hurry, and hurriedly got up and ran over to pick up the bouquet. This is my mother's favorite flower, not a rare variety, but it is rare in the north, far away from the mountain village, and he ordered it a month in advance from the flower shop to get it on time today.

But just as his hand was about to touch the bouquet, the other hand took the lead and grabbed the bouquet.

Richard's whole body froze, and he slowly straightened up and looked forward. Standing in front of him was a young mage, about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was half a head taller than Richard, with a look of arrogance and banter, wearing a magic apprentice's robe, tilting his head to look at the bouquet in his hand. He was one of the young apprentices who had been waiting in front of the teleportation array just now, and he still looked like the leader. The other young apprentices also approached in twos and threes, faintly surrounding Richard in the middle.

No matter how dull Richard was, he understood that these people were here specifically for him. What he didn't understand was that he had been immersed in the world of magic, and had never communicated with almost anyone except the instructor, so how could he mess with them? Richard was sure that he had not spoken a word to any of these young apprentices. However, the excellent memory brought by wisdom made Richard faintly remember that the young man in front of him was named Papan, who seemed to be from a small aristocratic family in the Holy Alliance, and had some magical talents, but he was not very outstanding in the dark blue, otherwise Richard would definitely be able to remember more information. As for the level of mana...... In Richard's field of vision, the number representing the magic on Papan's body was constantly beating, which was the precision talent that calculated the total amount of his magic power according to Papan's magic fluctuations, and finally stayed at the number 15. So Richard knew that this Papan was already a second-level magician, at least the magic power had reached the second-level level.

Papan looked at the messy bouquet in his hand over and over again, and shook vigorously, except for dropping more petals and leaves, he didn't see anything, so he squinted his eyes and nicknamed Richard, arrogant and frivolous, and asked: "You are the same Richard? I really don't see what you have to make the great Highness Su Helen accept you as a disciple." But honestly, your ass looks really good!"

The young apprentices burst into laughter, they clearly had experience and knew what it meant. Even if Richard had no experience, he could read it from their wicked eyes. His face was swollen red for a moment, but his fortitude made him restrain his anger and say word by word, "Give me back the flowers!"

"Aha, flowers! I forgot there's such a thing!" Papin exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then he pretended to look at the bouquet in his hand, and took a heavy sip before he said, "Is this thing important to you? Let me guess, it must be for some woman, right?" I said little Richard, I doubt that you are starting to grow hair underneath, and you should learn from other men to give flowers to women? Who are you going to give it to, or I'm going to help you? You see, I'm a very good person, and I like to help people the most! But then again, this bouquet is so ugly, and it's broken like this. He shook the bouquet again, and more petals and leaves fell scattered, "like something for the ** girl......"

"Give it back!" Richard's voice was low, like the roar of a lion cub.

"Ahh......h Before Richard could react, a young apprentice next to him stepped on it and ran over it a few times.

The white petals were scattered all over the place, never to be restored. More petals were under the young apprentice's shoe.

Richard's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, he didn't rush to protect the bouquet at the first time, nor did he stop the young apprentice, but leaned back first, and then suddenly bounced back like a full hard bow, and his hard forehead had smashed Papanyu's smiling face!

In front of the teleportation array is a traffic artery, so many people have already gathered around one after another. In addition to the sound of crushing berries, onlookers heard the clatter of broken bones. Seeing Richard's collision, some timid people actually felt that their noses were also a little sour.

Papan's eyes suddenly went dark, and then his vision was filled with red, yellow, and all sorts of colors. The world was spinning, and for a moment, he didn't know where he was. At the moment when the teenagers were stunned, Richard had already pounced on Papan, grabbed his hair with both hands, and pulled Papan's body with the weight of his whole body, causing Papan's body to fly in the air, while Richard's hands held his head tightly, smashing the blurred face into the extremely hard ground!

As long as it is smashed this time, Papan's skull will crack!

However, in the dark blue where mages gathered, of course, it is impossible to let this evil ** happen. Two Level 6 'Physical Immunity Shields' appeared on Richard and Papin at the same time, and the repulsive force of the shields made Richard and Papan bounce off each other like balls colliding together.

The one who can instantly perform sixth-level magic is at least a fourteenth-level great magician, and sure enough, two middle-aged mages walked over and asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?"

The effect of the physical immunity shield is very powerful, and if you don't absorb enough damage, you have to wait for the magic to expire or be dispelled. Richard, who was wrapped in the shield, had red eyes and was desperately attacking the shield, trying to break through the shield. He didn't pay any attention to the middle-aged mage's words at all.

In the other shield, Papin finally recovered from his dizziness, thinking back to the situation just now, he was afraid, and angry, and there was an almost unbearable pain in his nose, and he trembled his hand to touch it, and the messy touch almost made Papin really faint, and his face that he had always been proud of was ruined! This discovery almost made Papin lose his mind, and even the feeling of pain was suppressed for a while, he pointed at Richard, and shouted frantically: "Bastard! Do you dare to have a magic duel with me?!" The loser has to give the other party's ** ass!"

Hearing Papin's shout, Richard calmed down, withdrew his attack on the shield, and even straightened up the sleeve of his coat that rolled up to his arm, and said solemnly with a calm that did not match his age: "I accept!"

"No!" the middle-aged mage who separated the two sides frowned and spoke to stop him. But the other mage tugged at his magic robe and said, "Let them go!"

The middle-aged mage was stunned, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "But Richard is a student of His Royal Highness......"

The latter smiled and whispered, "The guy who challenged is called Papin, and he is a little of Randolph's henchman. Randolph was also a student of His Highness. So I think that magic duel was Papin's intention, but this idiot almost messed things up. ”

The middle-aged mage came to his senses: "This is a matter between His Highness's students, and we don't need to get involved. Okay, let's do it according to the rules!"

In the tradition of the dark blue, if there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides, then the solution is not only to smash people with gold coins, but also to smash people with magic. When one side proposes a magic duel, the other party agrees to accept it, and there is no obvious difference in strength between the two sides, the duel is established and is conducted under the supervision of the dark blue law enforcement mage. Magic duels have a special place, and a special mage is assigned to protect them. The use of the Arena requires a large deposit in advance to compensate for possible damage to the Arena facilities. The main duty of the resident mage is to protect both sides of the dueling, as the principle of magical duels is not to endanger lives.

Of course, there is no such thing as absolute fairness. For example, Papan's registration information is a first-level magician, but his magic power has actually reached the level of a second-level magician.

Half an hour later, Richard and Papin were standing at opposite ends of the dueling arena, twenty meters apart. Papan's injuries have been treated simply, except that his face is a little pale, and he can no longer see the original wolf bèi, and the magic robe stained with blood has also been replaced with a new one, but the half-collapsed bridge of the nose is unnatural.

Although it was only a magic duel between first-level magicians, the news of the conflict just now spread surprisingly quickly, due to the particularity of Richard's identity, many people came to watch, and the stands that could accommodate two hundred people were full. The onlookers' demeanor was very relaxed, acquaintances greeted each other, and they didn't seem to regard the next duel as a big event, and the battle between the first-level magic apprentices was completely uninteresting, that is, both sides were defenseless, and no one could die with a first-level magic bombardment. What's more, with their magic power, they can release up to three first-level magic.

In fact, the idea of most of the people present was to see what was so extraordinary about Richard that he could accept Su Helen as an apprentice. It would be even better if Richard could make some fools. Schadenfreude, watching the lucky ones fall into the dust, was originally a dark spot in many people's hearts.

And in a box on the high platform, behind the one-sided transparent magic window stood two of Sue Helen's other students, Minnie Mouse and Randolph. Minnie Mouse is a tall girl, cold and proud, although she is not very old, she is already well developed. Her awe-inspiring and repulsive temperament is her most attractive trait to the opposite sex. Randolph, on the other hand, is already a tall young man, and compared with his peers, his appearance, family background, temperament and strength are impeccable. If he wasn't a genius in ten thousand, he wouldn't have been able to become Su Hailun's disciple.

Minnie looked down at the two people in the dueling arena who had entered the countdown, and said coldly: "Randolph, you have a really good idea. If Richard loses, according to the conditions of this duel, the teacher will definitely not want him again. But he's just a first-class magician, so he really deserves your attention, do you need to use this method against him?"

Randolph shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I just wanted to see what this future magical constructor could do." Actually, I never understood why the teacher refused to let me develop in the direction of the Demon Pattern Master. Your Highness Santa Cruz, the famous constructor, recognized my talent for magical pattern constructing a long time ago. What's more, since he is also a student of the teacher, there is no reason to lose to those wastes below, is it? After all, there is only a first-level magic power gap. ”

Minnie scoffed, "yes! There's only a first-level gap: a first-level and second-level gap." Randolph, are you humiliating my intellect, or are you humiliating yourself? And if you do this, you are not afraid that the teacher will come back and find out?"

Randolph smiled proudly and said, "The teacher will not give up a genius like me for the sake of a loser." On my monthly bill, the teacher's joy is often more than 100,000 gold coins! Not to mention that my father is ......., the duel has begun, let's take a look first!"

Minnie's eyes also fell on the field, but she seemed to say to herself: "But how did I hear that Richard's income is 500,000 gold coins a month?"

Randolph didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard Minnie's words, but his face looked a little ugly.
