A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 478 The Feast

"Ahem, everyone, welcome to this gathering."

A loud and bold voice rang out; it was Helix's voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the host had indeed begun to speak.

"While I hope everyone can eat and drink well, I don't want any conflicts or fights to break out between us during the two weeks of the banquet."

Helix's voice gradually became stern.

"If I find out, then you two will have to go outside and fight. Otherwise, my sword is not to be outdone!"

Immediately afterwards, Helix drew his sword, and a violent aura swept over him, making it almost impossible for anyone to breathe.

Even a legend like him didn't look too good at the moment.

The reason is simple: Helix's strength is already quite formidable, roughly at the peak of demigodhood, just a little short of becoming a god.

Theoretically speaking, this already stands at the pinnacle of the prime plane. After all, any stronger and one would only be able to raise a divine kingdom to the astral plane and become a god.

Jiang Shuzhou completely ignored this threat, knowing that a fight was still going to happen eventually.

The current policy of not allowing disruption to order is merely a cover for promotion.

Perhaps the other person will be promoted within the next two weeks, or perhaps it will be two weeks from now; nobody knows.

While the others were still being suppressed by the oppressive aura emanating from Helix, Jiang Shuzhou felt nothing at all.

It's like a kitten hissing; it's funny but doesn't feel real.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou still pretended that he was slightly suppressed. After all, it's always good to keep a secret for yourself.

Pretending to be slightly suppressed can send a signal to the outside world that Jiang Shuzhou is not that strong, but he is not too weak either, only slightly weaker than Helix.

This way, not so many legends will have designs on Jiang Shuzhou, which will reduce a lot of trouble.

If they thought Jiang Shuzhou was only this strong, he could have easily pulled a fast one on them.

After all, no one would have imagined that Jiang Shuzhou's hidden strength was actually at the level of a weak god.

After all, Jiang Shuzhou has never killed many legends, and is completely like a newcomer.

Most of the legends present appeared to be suppressed, though it was unclear how many were faking it. The only one who was unaffected was undoubtedly Renodia.

She didn't feel anything and had no reaction at all; she was very innocent.

Or, to put it bluntly, he's an idiot.

Of course, it's possible that the other party has absolute confidence in their own abilities.

I just don't know which one it is.

However, Jiang Shuzhou would not be the first. When the battle began, he would definitely choose to protect everyone in front of him and let them go to their deaths first.

"Alright everyone, please proceed to the opera house to listen to Ms. Renault's performance."

With a friendly smile on his face, Helix removed the oppressive aura.

A good beating followed by a sweet treat is a very effective method.

Jiang Shuzhou and the others entered their private room.

"Your Majesty, please tell me what you need, all of it."

The maid said meaningfully.

Perhaps seeing that Jiang Shuzhou had no female companions, she decided to offer herself as a bedmate.

After all, he was a legend, and a relatively wealthy one at that. A mere drop of his wealth would be enough for her to live a life of luxury and honor.

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, refusing to accept the offer.

"Need not."

He's not that kind of person, and besides, he's not that repressed.

The act of love between men and women is not suitable to begin in a place where an unrestricted fighting tournament could start at any moment.

Otherwise, it would be so awkward if everyone else was having a heated argument outside while you were having one in your room.

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou turned and went into the private room.

"Not bad, that old geezer didn't even install surveillance."

After a thorough inspection, Jiang Shuzhou confirmed that there were no surveillance arrays or other means in the vicinity.

However, even in such a private setting, Jiang Shuzhou still did not let Chahara out of his shadow.

After all, sometimes, surprise is the key to victory.

The surrounding laws began to fluctuate, and Jiang Shuzhou knew that this was because Renodia had begun to sing.

"Wandering among the stars, I am all alone."

"Born of the void, and perished in the void."

"..."

Renaulta's singing voice is very infectious, but the lyrics aren't very good.

The song was sung in a very mournful and lonely tone.

But in any case, that emotion was conveyed.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also clearly felt that the elements and laws that were not very active in the past had begun to become active.

According to Jiang Shuzhou's estimates, the activity level of these laws and elements is five times that of the original.

In other words, training while listening to Renoir's songs is five times faster than usual.

Of course, the actual situation is even more exaggerated than that.

After all, some rules and laws that were previously unanalyzable are now several times more active than before, and their analysis difficulty has been reduced accordingly.

Even Jiang Shuzhou gained some benefits.

No wonder everyone loves the legendary bard.

Jiang Shuzhou estimated that if he were to conduct the experiment under these circumstances, the success rate would increase by at least 10%, which is quite terrifying.

It means increasing the original success rate by 10%, not adding 10% to the original success rate.

If it were a bonus, then Jiang Shuzhou would simply choose to rob it, killing gods and Buddhas alike, and he would show absolutely no mercy even to other legendary mages.

After all, this is a treasure that can take you from zero to one!

It's a pity we can't add it.

But this is not bad either.

Jiang Shuzhou was so engrossed in the song that he couldn't help but think about some details of the experiment, and then gained a lot from it.

He even figured out the points that had been bothering him for a long time.

"That's amazing."

Jiang Shuzhou couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

What happened?

Jiang Shuzhou confirmed that he probably hadn't met Renodia. If he had, he should have remembered a woman of that caliber.

Moreover, this is not a physical sound, but something else entirely—the sound of the soul.

After careful consideration, Jiang Shuzhou began searching his memory.

He quickly found the source.

A strange expression appeared on Jiang Shuzhou's face.

He remembered; it was the first time he had used the Astral Gate during his final exams at the academy.

Back then, Jiang Shuzhou had seen a whale while traversing the astral plane. It was an astral whale, and he had heard its call.

The sounds in my memory gradually overlapped with the sounds in reality.

This is outrageous! These days, even whales can transform into human form and sing.
