Chapter 706: Chapter 599: Duel and Release

A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dueling Arena operated at full capacity from morning till night.

The Wizards from the Four Great Powers queued in and out, some with spring in their steps, others with bruised faces—the latter usually having faced a Twin of similar strength.

But such unfortunate folks were in the minority.

The Wizards from the Parallel Worlds shifted from initial wariness and resistance, to eager anticipation, and now bringing their families along, a change in attitude so quick it left Jeming with a sense of wonder.

The change began with the first batch of Wizards who signed contracts.

Those haggard, crazed-looking Parallel World Wizards seemed like different people the day after signing the contract.

They wore newly issued Magic Robes from their Twins, visibly healthier, eating the free food provided by the Dueling Arena, sitting in the audience cheering for those they knew.

When asked about the contract content, they didn’t hide it and openly showed the contract to others.

The High Tier Wizards on the side of the Four Great Powers, having no significant living pressures, had the moral space to exercise their values, making their moral standards far superior to their Twins from Parallel Worlds.

Moreover, Wizards knew that only when their other selves became strong enough could they help in research or support each other on the same path.

Thus, they weren’t harsh with their Twins in contracts, mostly offering variants of an academic cooperation agreement:

The first party provides knowledge and resources to help the second party enhance their power; the second party acts as a research assistant for an agreed period, assisting in experiments; after the contract expires, both parties part ways peacefully without harm.

Upon reading the contract, Parallel World Wizards exhibited the same expressions—first disbelief, then joy.

After all, in their minds, "research assistant" equated to "experimental material plus slave," something disposable once used.

And yet?

The well-dressed counterparts truly saw them as "assistants."

They had food, drink, books, and after working for a few thousand years, they could regain freedom and take their skills with them.

This contract was far better than the binding agreements they originally signed to gain knowledge!

The news spread like a plague among the fleets in the Parallel World.

Initially, even the Low Tier Wizards hiding in corners didn’t believe it, but after confirming its authenticity, they began bringing their families to the Dueling Arena.

Some came looking for their Twins, others couldn’t find their Twins and sought refuge with a Wizard from the Four Great Powers they took a liking to, and some simply came for the free food—the free meals from the Four Great Powers were ten thousand times better than their regular rations.

The Sixth Level Wizards maintaining order couldn’t hold them off, and finally, Felix stepped in, announcing "All Parallel World Wizards willing to accept the civilization integration plan can obtain temporary residency status," which restored order.

Meanwhile, Jeming did nothing over these months except watch the fights from the audience seats.

One match after another.

From Sixth Level to Eighth Level, from Elemental System to Destiny Element, from formal duels to street brawls.

The Fate System operated at full capacity, recording every battle’s data, categorizing, and organizing it methodically.

Over those months, his combat database greatly expanded.

And just as he predicted, battles between different Wizard Civilizations were entirely one-sided crushes.

The techniques mastered by current world Wizards were far beyond those of their Twins.

It’s not that the Parallel World Wizards were too weak, but that they were too strong.

It was a crushing between systems, a complete inheritance against severed knowledge.

However, Jeming also noticed some interesting things.

In technical aspects, Parallel Worlds Wizards lagged far behind, but in combat instincts, some of them were even superior to current world Wizards.

The relentless ferocity to squeeze every ounce of power to the limit wasn’t something current world Wizards could match.

Though Jeming’s Wizards had participated in countless wars, neither their combat mentality nor the battlefield’s brutality they experienced could compare to their Twins.

The duel he was watching now was the best example.

This duel attracted most Wizards’ attention; after all, an Eighth Level against Eighth Level was rare.

From the current world was a Wizard from the Void Architecture Institute, whose name Jeming could not quite remember—it was simply one of the representatives from the Void Architecture Institute, as steady as a mountain.

From the Parallel World was an entity almost unrecognizable as human.

Its half body was a constantly writhing tumor, the other half bare bones.

The head dangly and askew on its shoulder, only one eye maintaining a human shape.

That eye held no madness, only calmness.

When Jeming noticed this, his spine tingled slightly.

After watching battles for months, he was too familiar with the combat style of the Parallel Worlds Wizards.

The calmer one seemed, the crazier they fought.

At the duel’s onset, the Parallel World Eighth Level Wizard let out a sinister laugh.

The laugh was hoarse and piercing, as if squeezed out from a broken bellows.

He raised his hand, and an endless stream of Elements gathered towards him in the void.

Fire, wind, water, earth... the Four Great Elements were forcibly condensed in an extremely short time and then compressed and collapsed under his control.
