Jia Er stared blankly, unable to believe what he saw as Mai Zhe fainted. Was this really it? He couldn’t face the Evil Mage alone, and this was how it ended? Not only Jia Er, but even the audience from the Outer Dimension was bombarding the screen with comments.
"At first, the fight looked impressive, with all the flashy effects. How did it turn into a farce later on?"
"Did this Mai Zhe really not receive any under-the-table payments?"
"I suggest a thorough investigation."
"Come on, really? Didn’t you notice? The director gave Mai Zhe several close-ups of his hands, which were emanating a faint black light. He must have been casting something secretly!"
Scrolling through the barrage of comments, most viewers were accusing them of throwing a fake match. Xu Lie knew he had to step in and clarify things; otherwise, it would negatively impact their ratings. With his keen eye as a Legendary Mage, he could tell that Mai Zhe had been up to something behind the scenes. However, without concrete evidence, it was better to demonstrate than just explain.
He reached out with a gesture, causing the unconscious Mai Zhe to float like a summoned creature towards him. Xu Lie caught him by the head and performed Alchemy, unleashing a series of inaudible wails from the soul level. The previously fainting Mai Zhe, who had only a weak pulse, suddenly went limp and ceased to breathe.
In Xu Lie's hand appeared a Soul Crystal: it had been dangerous earlier; this was an Evil Mage skilled in negative emotions. He had secretly cast various negative emotion spells on Charles, attempting to invoke fear, anxiety, tension, and oppression within him. If it hadn’t been for Charles’s strength, if Jia Er had faced him instead, one hit from a fear spell could have rendered him incapable of casting spells and left him vulnerable.
Thus, when dealing with an Evil Mage in the future, it was wise to be cautious. Jia Er's decision to contact them directly was indeed commendable. The audience and Jia Er realized that it wasn’t a fake match; rather, Charles was simply too strong and managed to withstand those negative emotion spells.
Jia Er nodded excitedly; Xu Lie had already been acknowledged by everyone as the strongest mage in their realm. Not only was he unmatched in power but his creation of the Meditation Method allowed him access to the wisdom of the Truth Gate. His vast knowledge of magic alone earned him admiration from fellow mages.
Being praised by the strongest mage brought Jia Er immense joy. He didn’t forget to ask Charles: "Mr. Charles, how did you manage to withstand that silent Dark Magic?"
Especially when it comes to this particularly insidious negative emotion magic.
Charles felt his mind heating up rapidly; he couldn't exactly claim to be a Bionic Person immune to negative emotions, could he? In the end, after his thoughts raced at hyper-speed, he arrived at a solution: courage!
It was sheer courage that could combat the fear magic of the Evil Mage!
Anthony chimed in beside him, supporting and encouraging Jia Er and the audience: "Well said! To face fear, one must possess enough courage."
Ah? I thought of many ways to counter it—there's the Magic Item, and some special magic that maintains emotional calm without interference—but I never considered this method!
Courage? Love you walking alone in dark alleys?
Is it starting?
Love you not kneeling down?
I've already started singing.
This simple yet entirely correct answer clearly satisfied Jia Er, who fell into deep thought: Courage? How should one train it? What magic can achieve that?
Xu Lie waved the Soul Crystal in his hand: "That's simple. When we go back, I'll extract the magical knowledge from this."
He should be able to reproduce the Silent Fear magic. At that time, they could break down Silent Fear into stages, from mild fear to maximum fear, gradually adapting until they ultimately overcame it.
