Chapter 81 Plan
Although he had an extra layer of shield on his body, the noble spellcaster still felt uneasy when he saw the rapidly spreading black substance.

Just when he was about to counterattack, Hela's third-ring spell was completed.

The black substance that was spread all over the stage by the first and second ring dark element spells allowed Hela to shorten the casting time of this third ring spell by nearly 80%.

As the Shadow Tide was completed, the black substance on the platform emitted a dangerous aura.

All around the noble spellcaster, countless pairs of black hands stretched out from the ground, like waves, one after another, rushing towards him madly.

Among them, under his feet, a pair of dark black hands stretched out, forcibly broke through his elemental shield, and grabbed his feet tightly.

Damn.

He cursed inwardly, and an ornament on his waist swayed slightly.

"bell--"

As a bell rang, the first wave of black arms that rushed over from all around, including the one that grabbed his feet, were shattered and fell back to the ground.

But before he could catch his breath, the second wave came.

There was no other way, he had to rely on the various props he had made to resist the attacks, while quickly casting spells to try to fight back.

But, it's too late.

Hela would not just stand there and watch while he resisted.

Second level spell - Shadow Corrosion.

Second level spell - Devour.

Hela cast various spells, constantly strengthening the power of the Shadow Tide.

With the enhancement of spells, the power of the Shadow Tide becomes stronger and stronger.

Although relying on the props on his body and continuous casting of spells to resist, the noble spellcaster was still struggling to hold on.

However, his resistance did not allow him to hold out for long. In less than two minutes, the surging black hands blocked the last ray of light in his vision and completely enveloped him.

Looking at the ball wrapped in black matter in front of her, Hela closed the magic book and canceled the spell.

After losing Hela's control, the black substance in front of him quickly fell down, and the noble spellcaster inside also fell to the ground in a coma.

"Number One wins this battle!"

After seeing the unconscious noble spellcaster, the referee of the duel arena quickly made a judgment and announced Hela's victory.

The audience in the auditorium also applauded.

Hela didn't care about these. After taking a look at the Book of Wisdom and confirming her victory, she turned around and left the platform.

Although she participated in this open event where spectators were allowed to watch, Hela was only there to fight, and she didn't care about the audience's attitude.

On the platform, as the black matter began to transform back into dark elements and disappear, several staff members of the duel arena quickly ran up, checked the unconscious noble spellcaster, and took him away directly after confirming that his life was not in danger.

After returning to the room, Hela took a look at the time of the next battle, then found a place to sit down and rest, meditating to restore her magic power.

Because Hela wanted to see the spells of the Massimo School, she delayed with the noble spellcaster for a while.

Therefore, in the first round, Hela was among the last to finish.

Therefore, the time it takes Hela to recover her magic power is very short.

Moreover, because Hela deliberately delayed, a lot of her magic power was consumed.

However, Hela had a meditation method taught by Roland, which was specifically used to restore magic power, and this time was enough. In this era when meditation methods had not yet been classified and specialized, the duel arena officials had studied and found that it was only enough time for the school's spellcasters to restore one-third of their magic power, which was enough for Hela to return to her peak state.

While Hela was meditating to restore her magic power, Roland was in the central tower of Blue Glory, reaching an agreement with the spellcasters of the Massimo School.

Although some of the major schools in the Tower of Truth have begun to transform from traditional schools that only study academics to schools that focus on political struggles, compete for the power of the Parliament of Truth, and interfere in the politics of the Silver Empire.

For the political school, political interests are far more important than academic interests.

Fortunately, the Massimo School is still a traditional school.

After the two sides conducted an academic exchange that was called academic exchange but was actually a mutual test.

Roland successfully proved his knowledge in front of the spellcasters of the Massimo School.

In return, the Massimo School also took out some of its best products to prove the school's heritage.

Finally, after both parties confirmed their willingness to exchange knowledge, the official academic exchange that achieved its purpose was quickly concluded.

After the official academic exchange ended, Roland received a list of knowledge that the Massimo School could exchange.

This is of course not asking Roland to exchange for silver points, but requiring Roland to provide new knowledge in exchange.

The value of the knowledge Roland brought out was first determined by the prophecy spell. After Roland confirmed the exchange, it was submitted to the Massimo School for review and confirmation.

Roland was not worried that the Massimo School would cheat him. After all, it was a university school and would not damage its reputation for such a small matter.

However, Roland still needs to think carefully about what knowledge to exchange and what knowledge to exchange.

In addition, Roland also received private invitations from spellcasters from some schools.

These spellcasters affirmed Roland's wisdom, and either hoped to have in-depth private discussions with him, or hoped that Roland's wisdom could help their research projects.

These private invitations were the next focus, so Roland accepted almost all of them.

It is impossible for the Massimo School to officially come up with anything good, but a private invitation is different.

Although they did not have the authority to pass on the school's knowledge to Roland, the school had no right to control their own knowledge.

Therefore, Roland might be able to dig out some extraordinary knowledge from them that they had researched privately.

Roland returned to his room in the tower and casually poured himself a glass of cold juice from the refrigerator.

He took two sips as he walked.

Then, he sat at the table, put the juice on the table, and took out paper and pen from the space bracelet.

Roland thought back to everything he had seen since entering the sphere of influence of the Massimo School.

After a brief thought, he had an idea.

Although the Massimo School is already able to utilize lightning, they basically capture it and then immediately convert it into energy.

Moreover, although there are a few buildings in the city that can store lightning, the conversion efficiency is very low, and they are surrounded by relatively empty space and are manned by spellcasters.

Combined with these circumstances, the way they store lightning is not only questionable in terms of safety, but also quite costly.

So, a cheap solution that can store lightning should be of some value to them.

Although Roland did not remember this kind of thing in his previous life, he could design it himself.
