Chapter 88
The characteristic of this “Time freezing” was a gem watch .
Magic needed to use some kind of material as a catalyst . “Time freezing” was not an
exception . Except for the gem, its required catalysts was a working watch, the one that many kinds of
magic also needed– — -the specific shape and size didn’t matter . It just needed to run accurately .
To cast magic conveniently, shamans usually used a special pocket watch . On the watch was an
embellishment of many gems . It ran very accurately, which happened to fully meet the requirement of
this magic .
Among the known magic, the material to cast this magic was one of a kind . Therefore, whenever a
shaman took out a pocket watch during battle, more than half of them wanted to cast this magic .
In fact, as long as one could satisfy two requirements “measure time correctly” and “have many gems”,
the materials that this magic needed was not necessarily a gem pocket watch . For example,
some shamans from the ancient school preferred to use a gem hourglass as a material to display this
magic . If changing to another angle, a celestial sphere apparatus with a gem was also fine . Things similar
to this were many .
However, a gem pocket watch was always the top choice . First, a pocket watch itself was not a bad
accessory, and could be used to tell time, which was also very convenient . Second, among the pretty
convenient materials, it was the most convenient among them– — — although
the cost for making a gem pocket watch was more than two thousand gold coins, which was
enough make a low level shaman go broke .
Lei pulled out his sword while rushing over . He didn’t dare to delay a moment, only hoped that he
could be quick enough to slash right at the opponent before his opponent completed this magic .
But in the end, he was too slow .
When his sword was just about to be taken out of its sheath, the pocket watch on Kahn’s hand started
to issue a “click clack” sound then stopped .
In a blink, the watch stopped . Everything in the room lost its color, turning into a simple black and white
picture . Only Kahn, who was holding the pocket watch in his hand, maintained his usual color . This
proved that right now he was independently outside time .
At this moment, the distance between Lei and him was less than two feet .
Kahn praised and nodded to Lei . He guessed that this swordsman might have met a high-level
shaman or even a legendary great master– — -there weren’t many people that knew about such an
advanced magic like “time freezing”, even among the shamans .
The number of people who immediately knew what kind of magic he wanted to display right at the
moment of seeing him taking out the pocket watch and not hesitating to take action was indeed too
little, extremely little!
Maybe this swordsman is a person with a noble background or even a descendant of some
legendary great master . Fate might have thrown an evil joke at him, making him unable to inherit
magic?
He is somewhat worthy of being pitied . . .
But he would not be merciful because of that . A sympathy for talent would be given for those weaklings
who were abandoned by destiny?
It would be better to die in his hands without any useless struggle in a quagmire and slowly rot .
To this pathetic swordsman, on the contrary, it would be considered as merciful .

Kahn raised his right hand up . His fingers weaved a magic pattern and his magic was formed quickly .
The air in front of Lei slightly shook . Some spots became blurry and distorted . These blurry and distorted
spots were not very conspicuous . If one didn’t pay attention, he might miss it .
This was the Force-field Blade, which was an improved upgrade based on the low-level magic “Magic
Missile” . Its level was not high but it was very useful . Not only did it not need materials, but
it was also secretive enough . The key was that normal physical methods could not fight against it, even
an enchanted armor would lose its effect in front of it– — — unless the enchanted armor was attached
with a rare Force-field Protection .
To avoid affecting one’s “Super Speed” state, under the circumstance when the time stopped, it was
not appropriate to come in contact with the enemy or display magic to attack directly . Hence, Kahn used
a special method, kept the Force-field Blade, which had been shot out, in the air .
The Force-field Blade itself was very hard to resist, not to mention keeping it in the air, waiting until the
Time Freezing ended to launch it .
It was imaginable that when the Time Freezing ended, many extremely sharp blades would suddenly
appear in front of Lei . They would fire crazily toward the target . Maybe, before Lei could pay
attention to them, he might be hit .
The Force-field Blade was far sharper and scarier than any ordinary throwing-knives . If one was hit by
them, the wound would be hard to heal . Even if Lei could rely on his superb reaction to avoid getting
fatally injured, many cuts on his body would create a group of wounds, which
would make him lose his ability to move, only lying on the ground, waiting until he lost too much blood,
then died .
The Time Freezing added with the Force-field Blade should have been enough already, but Kahn
didn’t stop there . He launched magic for the second time . This time, the air around him started to
vibrate quickly . The invisible power condensed into many sharp knives, taking him as the center and
surrounding him .
That was the Blade Barrier, a very effective protection magic .
His magic casting wasn’t finished yet . Kahn knew very well how long his Time Freezing magic could
maintain, so he cast two additional spells .
Honestly, using too much energy like this to solve a group of people coming to eat and making a fuss
was indeed making a big deal out of nothing . But once he had taken action, he would not hesitate
or temporarily save it to deal with later .
Carelessness and negligence were two big enemies of a shaman . Only sufficient preparation and
adequate prudence would help a shaman forever stand in an invincible position .
But at this moment, he saw a scene out of his expectation .
The giant jellyfish suddenly recovered its color, from a gray object with a black and white state to its
original green color .
This meant that it had already escaped from the wheel of the time, just like Kahn who had stepped
out of the time flow, and entered a marvelous state called “Time Freezing” .
How can he?! Why does a jellyfish have this kind of ability? Is it perhaps a transformation of some shaman?
Kahn was frightened . He couldn’t help but lose his concentration . On his right hand, a
group of dark power which was about to condense into the magic pattern collapsed in a flash . Even he
Advertisement
himself screamed out of pain as blood flowed out of his nose .
Things like displaying magic were like a double-edged sword . If successful, it was enough to hurt the
enemy, if failing, it would hurt oneself .
However . . . . getting adverse effects due to a failure from casting magic, it had been very long time since
He encountered these types of problems .
Kahn immediately tidied up his thoughts, quickly recovered his composure, and cast another magic
again . This time, he intended to launch “Water Element Extraction” . This magic would extract the water
inside the enemy’s body, and turn them into the Water Element controlled by the caster . Even though a
resilient body and mind could significantly reduce its damage, the more water a body held, the
more powerful the effect of this magic became .
Jellyfish was a big-sized aquatic animal . More than 95% of its body was made of water . This meant its
resistance to the “Water Element Extraction” would be very low . Not to mention, due to its demand of
water, even if it could rely on its resilient will to block 90% damage, the remaining was enough to
break the fluid balance inside its body, hence, make it lose its fighting power .
All of these were just a thought happening in a flash . But with only this thought in mind, Kahn had
already found the most suitable magic, and quickly launched it .
Due to the fact that until now he had never seen any material related to this aspect, or even considered
this type of situation, he could not determine whether or not he could attack when both
sides were using “Time Freezing” . But he didn’t even think, but immediately chose the magic and fired
straight toward the giant jellyfish .
His intuition told him that in the current situation, a direct attack was no problem as well!
The “Water Element Extraction” magic turned into a dim gray light, aimed right at Sui Xiong, who had
just stepped out of the time flow and didn’t have to time to react .
The big body of jellyfish shook a little bit . A huge amount of water was extracted out and turned into a
powerful water flow . It had a thick and solid trunk and arms which were similar to a human’s . But it
didn’t have a head . Where the chest was, there was now a face, which looked like it was wailing . If it was
seen at night, without any attack, it could scare someone to death .
That was the Water Element, and it could be reluctantly be seen as a common type among all kind of
elements .
The Water Element built from magic was roughly on the level of an ordinary person, belonging to the
low rank among the mid-level water element . As for the fighting power, it most likely couldn’t
beat Stelle in pig shape . This kind of weak power of course could not break the limit of time .
Therefore, as soon as it was born, it was immediately motionless . Its blue trunk also lost its color in a
blink, turning into an ash-gray frozen object .
But Kahn originally didn’t count on its fighting power . He hoped that it could be able to extract the
water inside Sui Xiong .
“The strategy works!” When he saw the Water element taking shape, he could not help but reveal a
smile .
By calculating the time, the Time Freezing was about to end . Until the Time Freezing ended, he
would immediately launch the next attack on this jellyfish, not allowing it to recover!
But thirty seconds had passed, the world was still black and white . Everything was stopped as before,
seemingly not having any transformation .
“What is happening?!” Kahn was shocked as he had never been through such a bizarre thing as this .
As time passed, little by little, the world was still a black and white as before .
Kahn opened his eyes wide, looking around . He was somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to do .
What should I do now? What should I do now? What should I do now?
While he was restless, a green tentacle shot over and strongly entangled him .
After that, the world recovered its color and returned to the normal time flow .
A green shadow flashed up . Sui Xiong used one tentacle to cover Lei and another tentacle to block that
invisible Force-field Blade .
The force field in the shape of a blade cut the tentacle, and created many mournful wounds, which
recovered immediately . There was not even a drop of blood .
The green light flared up again . The newly formed Water Element shattered . All of the water was sucked
back by Sui Xiong again .
After doing all these things, he smilingly said to Kahn, whose eyes still looked lifeless, “How are you?
How does the Time Freezing feel?”
“Are you the one doing this?” Kahn’s eyes flashed up with surprise as he skeptically asked .
“After all I am a God, is being able to do such thing that strange?”
Kahn silenced for a while, then shook his head .
“I lost . Beat, kill, you can do whatever you want . “
“There is no need to beat or kill . But I can see that your anger fire is too strong and your
pride is too big . That is not good . ” Sui Xiong laughed out loud, “Well, young man, you can be a little
arrogant when writing, but you should be a little more modest when it comes to behaving with other
people . “
“Such modest words like ‘be honest’ are just the mask that the weak ones use to conceal their
powerlessness . “
“If this is the case, then compared to me, are you the weak one?”
Kahn smiled; his face still didn’t change color . “The key to decide the strong and the weak lies in the
mind . A king may be very weak . A beggar may be very strong . A strong mind is the fundamental basis
of it all!”
“Is a beggar with a powerful mind the strong?”
“A beggar would not have a strong mind . I just conveniently said it . ” Kahn shook his head, “A
person with a strong mind of course has to try hard to move forward . Therefore, they must forever
pursue the success and temporarily take rest after gaining success . How can a decadent beggar have a
strong mind?”
“So do you think I am the strong?”
“You don’t look like you have a mind, in general . Even if you are a God, you don’t suit the word
mighty . ” Kahn said as firmly as chopping the nail on the board .
As for the question about the principle, even if he was to face a God, he would not back down .

I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.
