Wizard: Stronger through Marriage - Chapter 737 - 324: Battle of Orthodox Wizards

Chapter 737: Chapter 324: Battle of Orthodox Wizards

The time that followed.

David and the witches conducted research within the castle.

Meanwhile, more and more wizards arrived at the Sea of Azure.

Originally, David wanted to act discreetly.

But some wizards held obvious prejudice against the alien race.

These wizards claimed to be the orthodox inheritors of magic, showing disdain and contempt towards David and the witches whom they viewed as alien visitors.

In the eyes of the wizards, the alien race merely gained some achievements by relying on peculiar bloodlines and power, lacking genuine magical cultivation and profound knowledge foundation.

Therefore, despite David and the witches already possessing considerable power, these traditional wizards still regarded them as unworthy outsiders.

At the Wizard Alliance meeting, David and the witches faced such cold reception.

Wizards deliberately ignored their presence, even raising their voices in conversation, discussing contemptuous remarks about how the alien race achieved success through luck and brute force.

Although the witches were angry inside, they knew it was not the time for dispute; they had to remain calm and prove their value through actions.

David understood even more that in this world where strength is revered, only by displaying undeniable power can one truly earn respect.

Therefore, he decided that in the days to come, he would not only demonstrate the power of the alien race in battles but also, in magical exchanges, show these arrogant wizards the wisdom and potential of the alien race.

In the days to follow, David and the witches diligently worked in the castle’s research lab.

They delved into various materials related to life and the secret realm, trying to find methods to counter the upcoming challenges.

Although prejudice and disdain from the outside world surrounded them, David knew that silence was not their choice.

They must break these stereotypes through actions.

One morning, at the Wizard Alliance meeting, numerous wizards gathered.

David and the witches dressed in neat magic robes entered the meeting room, receiving indifferent and contemptuous glances from many.

Despite the uneasy atmosphere, they were even more determined to prove themselves.

After the meeting began, an old wizard who claimed to be the “orthodox” leader stood and arrogantly said, “Today, we are here to discuss magical research and battle strategies, not how the alien race luckily achieved success.”

This remark stirred a low chuckle, and many began to discuss and agree.

Despite his inner anger, David remained calm.

He knew that such public statements would not change their prejudice against the alien race, but he also understood that if he did not speak up, they would forever be seen as outsiders.

So, he straightened his chest and said before everyone, “We do not merely gain power through bloodlines but grow through effort and wisdom. If everyone is willing, we can prove this.”

The witches standing beside him silently supported this decision, conveying a message of unwavering confidence.

The hall instantly fell silent; the previous mocking voices ceased, and curious and skeptical gazes turned to David.

“How do you intend to prove it?” The old wizard responded provocatively, “Magic is an ancient and profound art, while your so-called ’alien race’ merely adventures with some peculiar powers.”

“Then, I propose a magical duel.” David responded without hesitation, knowing it was the most direct way to showcase strength.

“If I can defeat you or any equally strong person, I hope everyone will reconsider their view of us; if I fail, I am willing to bear all consequences.”

The hall was filled with whispering; those claiming to be orthodox showed some pride and provocation on their faces.

Meanwhile, Narcissus and other witches showed support and concern, understanding it was an adventure but also a chance, a critical moment to change the situation.

Ultimately, after several rounds of debate, the assembly agreed to the proposal and selected an experienced and highly regarded Five-Ring Mage as the opponent — Arno.

He was renowned for his undeniable strength, and this duel would undoubtedly become an important event, affecting not only personal honor but also the standing of the entire alien race team in the Sea of Azure.

Before the arranged day arrived, David knew no matter the result, he had to give everyone a shock; they had not only great power but also wisdom and courage.

Finally, the day of the duel came.

The entire alliance hall was decorated magnificently, with countless curious onlookers gathered, many of whom were the companions who had previously mocked him.

At this moment, even under such immense pressure, David still felt an unprecedented indomitable spirit surging within.

As he stepped onto the challenge platform, a wave of silence descended upon the crowd.

“Good luck,” Narcissus said softly, squeezing his hand, “Regardless of the outcome, we will support you.”

“Thank you, I will show them my way.” After saying these words, he turned to face Arno.

The proud and experienced Great Power’s eyes were sharp as an eagle, focusing completely on him.
