Chapter 72: Chapter72-Legend Across the Continent


    ?


    Carlos, who had long been eyeing Owen, now stared at him intently, a serious expression on his face.


    A writhing black tentacle emerged from the void behind him, like a towering black pillar exuding a maddening, terrifying aura.


    The tentacle surged towards Owen, staining the space around it with a desolate, decaying hue, like a bleak oil painting.


    The magical attacks from everyone followed one after another, filling the sky with a myriad of colors.


    The countless chaotic mana collisions created utter turmoil in the sky.


    Even with Owen''s strength, the onslaught of magical attacks gave him a fleeting sense of facing death.


    Clearly, Owen''s earlier words had truly angered them, and they were now attacking without holding back, using their most lethal moves.


    The many veteran figures watching the battle felt a chill run down their spines.


    Among them were individuals who had broken through to platinum-tier or even diamond- tier.


    As the magical attacks surged towards them, the veteran figures instinctively felt fear. Facing such attacks themselves, they knew they would be severely injured, if not killed.


    These young mages were no ordinary individuals; they were the top talents from various kingdoms and factions.


    Each had a high reputation on the continent, especially Annie and others who were on the Genius Leaderboard.


    Their combat abilities far exceeded their levels.


    "Should we just let Owen continue this madness?"


    "Owen is the top genius. If he dies, it would be a huge loss for our Azure Kingdom!"


    "I also think we should stop this chaos. Owen is the cornerstone of our Azure Kingdom. Without him, our top talents will always be weaker than those of other kingdoms."


    "It''s already too late. So many prodigies attacking together with such powerful waves of mana are not easy to fend off."


    As the members of the Council of Elders retreated in fear, Madelyn and Marry couldn''t help but channel their mana, preparing to help Owen block some of the attacks.


    They knew their strength was insignificant in the face of the overwhelming onslaught, but they couldn''t bear to see Owen fall.


    At this critical moment, a shadow of the Godslayer Staff began to emerge on Owen''s chest, emitting a dazzling golden light.


    This golden light quickly formed a bowl-shaped shield around him, enveloping him in its protective glow.


    The Guardian Shield had been activated.


    Boom!


    Countless long-range magical attacks bombarded the shield like missiles, creating ripples on its surface that spread outwards.


    Amidst the dense magical barrage, a broad smile appeared on Carlos''s face.


    Although he didn''t understand why Owen had proposed to challenge all the prodigies alone, this situation presented Carlos with a great opportunity.


    Now he had a clear understanding of the gap between himself and Owen; it was not a gap that could be bridged by single combat.


    With so many prodigies present and Owen''s arrogance, this was a perfect opportunity.


    If they could manage to injure Owen together, he would have a chance to secretly devour Owen''s flesh and blood.


    Seeing Owen standing there with a stable aura, everyone''s jaws dropped in disbelief.


    They rubbed their eyes vigorously.


    But Owen''s figure remained unchanged.


    He wasn''t just unharmed; his aura was completely unperturbed.


    The earlier explosion had been terrifying! Owen, positioned at the very center, had emerged


    unscathed.


    "He... Owen actually did it! He deflected all those attacks from so many prodigies!"


    "Owen, what are his true limits?"


    "Even a platinum-tier mage would struggle to withstand such attacks. Owen has created a


    miracle!"


    Moments later, countless pairs of eyes looked at Owen as if seeing him for the first time, with


    exclamations of amazement and disbelief echoing continuously.


    Today, they witnessed a miracle!


    Unprecedented in history!


    Edward, recording the event, had his pupils suddenly contract.


    Although he had anticipated this outcome, seeing Owen truly achieve it deeply shocked him.


    "No! This matter is too significant. It could affect the future of the continent. I must report it


    back to Academy City immediately!"


    Edward quickly decided and wrote down every detail of the event.


    He then used magic to send the urgent message to Academy City.


    Meanwhile, other factions present also realized the importance of the event and used their


    own means to report it back as quickly as possible.


    Owen had created a miracle today, making history!


    Carlos felt a flash of despair.


    Today''s events had undeniably dealt a significant blow to him. So many prodigies together


    were no match for Owen alone!


    "Owen, where did he come from? Could he be a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, the so-called


    chosen one? Even that might not compare to him."


    Monroe rubbed her injured chest, wondering if the Sun-Moon Sect had been detached from


    the world for too long.
