31: Chapter 31 You broke through?!
"Brother, let's run!"
Lin Duo urged with a sob in her voice, but Lin Fan remained motionless.
He simply watched calmly as Su Linlin condensed her Star Pattern.
Only one thought surfaced in his mind...
Too slow.
...
[Skill Activated: Aura Camouflage!]
...
Boom!
The next second.
A majestic surge of magic power erupted from Lin Fan's body.
He had actively activated his system skill.
Hiding his true realm.
Revealing only a cultivation level lower than his actual strength.
Unlike the deterrence pendant.
Aura Camouflage could only disguise one's strength as being lower than their true realm.
He was now at the late stage of a Tier 2 Mage.
The skill automatically disguised his aura as that of a First-Order Mage.
Therefore.
When his magic power erupted.
The spreading pressure was also at the First-Order Mage level, yet it was several degrees weaker than Su Linlin's.
This was because Lin Duo was right beside him; he feared that the powerful magic aftershocks might accidentally injure his sister.
But in Su Linlin's eyes, this was ironclad proof that Lin Fan's true strength was inferior to hers.
After all, for mages of the same tier, even a subtle difference in realm could determine victory or defeat.
But in the next second.
Su Linlin's pupils constricted violently.
A chill surged up her spine to the top of her head, as if she had been struck by lightning...
Wait!
How is this possible?!
Wasn't he still stuck at the Mage Apprentice realm?
How did he suddenly promote to a First-Order Mage?!
The immense shock caused Su Linlin's mental focus to collapse instantly.
Distraction while condensing a Star Pattern was no different from playing with fire; it was extremely perilous!
Stunned and soul-shaken by Lin Fan's rapid progress in strength, Su Linlin could no longer control the star points behind her.
The Star Pattern that was about to take shape collapsed with a bang.
A violent force of backlash slammed into her Soul Sea, causing her magic power to instantly become chaotic and disordered.
Su Linlin's face turned as pale as paper.
She bent over in pain, clutching her chest, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Mom, look! Another mage!"
The little boy from earlier shouted excitedly again.
He pointed his small finger at Lin Fan, dancing with excitement.
Enduring the sharp pain from her Soul Sea, Su Linlin struggled to lift her head.
She saw Lin Fan protecting Lin Duo.
His eyes flickered with a silver-white light, and his right hand pointed toward her from a distance.
"Doesn't taste very good, does it?"
Lin Fan's cold voice was like a sharp knife quenched in ice, piercing into Su Linlin's ears.
Before his voice had even faded.
The star points behind Lin Fan rapidly emerged, condensing into a complete Star Pattern in the blink of an eye.
The sheer speed of it left Su Linlin terrified once again.
Too fast!
If Lin Fan were to launch a spell now.
She would have no power to fight back at all!
"Kid, don't you dare harm the Young Mistress!"
Right then.
A sudden roar rang out from the side.
It was Su Linlin's other bodyguard.
He and his companion, holding iron rods, charged fiercely toward Lin Fan.
"Ah!"
Lin Duo screamed in fear, but Lin Fan remained unfazed.
"Has no one ever taught you?"
His voice carried a hint of mockery as his cold gaze swept over the two charging men.
"If you don't want to die, don't charge at a mage."
"Telekinesis Control!"
Lin Fan let out a low shout.
His left hand swept casually to the side.
The invisible telekinetic force transformed into a giant palm, slamming hard into the two bodyguards.
The two of them were like ragdolls.
They were sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground and rolling several meters across the sand before stopping.
They lay on the ground, their bodies twitching violently.
Though they hadn't passed out, they were grimacing in pain, feeling as if they had been hit head-on by a speeding carriage; their bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
This scene caused the surrounding crowd to explode into a frenzy.
Everyone was stunned.
This youth, who didn't look very old, had actually dealt with two strong, grown men with just a casual wave of his hand!
Magicians were indeed existences far beyond the reach of mortals!
Lin Duo was also dumbfounded with shock.
She looked up at her brother's profile.
Her eyes shimmered with the light of admiration, as if she were looking up at the stars in the sky.
Brother is so amazing!
Lin Fan noticed his sister's gaze.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.
The feeling of acting cool in front of his sister was even better than breaking through his realm for the first time!
After enjoying the pleasure of his sister's admiration for a few seconds.
Lin Fan's eyes turned cold once more.
He raised his hand and pointed at Su Linlin again.
But at the very moment he was prepared to condense a Star Pattern.
A majestic voice suddenly came from the sky, echoing throughout the entire park:
"Magic is prohibited within the park! Withdraw your magic power immediately, or face the consequences!"
The voice was like a great bell, heard clearly by everyone present.
Everyone looked up.
They saw a man wearing a blue mage robe, standing atop the back of a giant bird, hovering in mid-air.
On the forehead of that bird.
There was also a glowing contract mark.
Seeing this bird.
Lin Fan's eyes shifted slightly.
A Summoning Mage!
The appearance of this uninvited guest caused the scene to fall silent instantly.
Lin Fan secretly probed the other's strength.
A Tier 2 Summoner, on the same level as himself.
As for that bird.
It was merely a common grade magical beast, the Summoner's Contracted Beast.
Lin Fan had a clear understanding of the situation.
If they really fought, he was fully confident he could win.
After all, a Summoner's strength mostly relied on their Contracted Beast.
However, there was no need.
Lin Fan knew very well.
This person was most likely from the Alliance.
With a change of thought, he withdrew his magic power and slowly lowered his hand.
"Lin Duo, let's go."
Lin Fan turned around and said flatly.
Lin Duo nodded quickly and followed closely behind her brother.
From time to time, she would glance back at the Red-haired girl lying on the ground and Su Linlin's disheveled group.
After the Lin siblings left.
The mage who had stopped the fight controlled the bird to land slowly and leaped down.
He walked over to Su Linlin.
He looked down to check her condition, unable to stop himself from muttering.
"Young people these days, causing trouble everywhere just because they know a bit of magic..."
He shook his head.
Then he walked over to the Red-haired girl lying on the ground.
Squatting down, he reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Little girl, are you alright?"
He asked in a casual tone.
In truth, he didn't take these children's bickering to heart at all.
Su Linlin slowly raised her head and looked at the mage before her.
When the mage saw her face clearly, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
He recognized this girl!
Thinking of the youth who had injured Su Linlin and her bodyguards.
The mage shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
"That kid... I hope he has a solid enough backer behind him."
Meanwhile.
On the rooftop of a tall building not far away stood an elderly man dressed in simple clothes.
He was the principal of the school Lin Duo attended.
He had come here today to meet someone, not expecting to run into Lin Duo by chance.
What surprised him even more.
Was that brother of Lin Duo's...
