Shang's next opponent was an Earth Adept, and he obviously also had nearly no combat experience.

Just like Shang's first opponent, this one also made several rookie mistakes, and Shang managed to use up a lot of Mana of his opponent by hitting his Mana Shield a couple of times.

But, eventually, Shang's opponent managed to prepare several devastating attacks, which were released in rapid succession. This time, Shang's opponent had summoned several Earth Spires that shot out of the ground.

Due to Shang's reflexes, he had been able to evade the first one, but it hadn't been easy. Shang had to abandon all his balance to barely evade the Earth Spire.

Since the Adept only needed a single thought to unleash his remaining spells, he released the next two in rapid succession, and Shang hadn't been able to avoid those.

Shang had lost.

The Adept bowed politely to Viera and threw Shang a look. Then, with a snort, he left without saying anything.

Shang's next opponent was a Metal Adept.

When the Metal Adept used Mana Step, Shang decided not to use his sword but to jump into the way of the Mana Step to grapple with the Adept.

However, the Mana Shield threw Shang away, and he quickly lost after that.

These Adepts were faster than Shang while using Mana Step, which surprised him quite a bit. Sure, Mana Step was fast, but this fast?

The next opponent was a Fire Adept.

Fire Adepts basically didn't exist in the Mage Academy, but Shang's opponents didn't only come from the Mage Academy. A lot of his opponents were Adepts that gave up trying to become True Mages or were ones that simply didn't have the talent or discipline to become one.

In short, those were Adepts that would forever remain Adepts. They basically counted to the worst Adepts in existence.

And yet, even though they all had horrible fighting experience, by simply following some simple rules, they always won against Shang.

As a warrior, Shang had to constantly adapt to his opponent and make quick decisions, but a Mage didn't fight that way.
