Aizali, an Aztec magician from the Central American magical society “Return of the Winged Ones”—that was the true identity of “Haiyuan Guanggui” who stood before Lin Wuming at that moment.
The obsidian dagger held by Aizali was his primary weapon, or more precisely, the spiritual Item he used to cast decomposition magic—the “Spear of Travicantl Utole.”
Using the obsidian dagger as a mirror, it reflected the light of Venus, and this “beam” was used as a weapon to attack.
The light reflected by the obsidian dagger possessed a mysterious power to decompose all things in the world; buildings and mechanical devices were naturally no match for it, and even complex structures like the human body were within its “decomposition” range.
However, the kim kong sand dust particles that Lin Wuming used to support his defensive barrier belonged to a category that was basically impossible to decompose further, which coincidentally rendered the light of Venus reflected by the obsidian dagger completely ineffective, making it project like an ordinary beam and then quietly dissipate…nothing happened in the end.
Excluding the interference of all accidental factors, an attack launched at extremely close range once again returned without success—this fact completely chilled Aizali’s heart.
This meant that he truly had no means left to “punish” Lin Wuming.
Just as Aizali was contemplating retreat, a faint golden light suddenly appeared beside him.
The sand screen around Lin Wuming had somehow already reached Aizali!
Aizali did not know how dangerous these sand screens were, but he knew that his current situation was definitely not good!
Fortunately, Lin Wuming did not crudely launch a Mind Power Acceleration Cannon or directly engage in combat by manipulating kim kong sand.
Lin Wuming chose to act personally; his speed was so fast that it was almost indistinguishable from Space Movement, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Aizali and threw a punch.
Aizali quickly responded to the attack; although he was a magician, Haiyuan Guanggui was quite skilled in close-quarters combat.
However, his struggles held little meaning in Lin Wuming’s eyes.
Lin Wuming was not a fighter, but a Telekinetic User, a Level 5 Telekinetic User.
He had too many ways to make Aizali take that punch!
One punch landed squarely on the face, followed by a trip, and Aizali fell spectacularly, unable to get up again.
“Are you injured?” The process of defeating the enemy was so easy, yet Lin Wuming did not continue to press the attack, because he noticed that the enemy was already at the end of his rope, having sustained many injuries before this.
It seemed that for Aizali to maintain normal movements was already quite remarkable.
Lin Wuming used his esper ability to knock the obsidian dagger from Aizali’s hand, then simply let him go, allowing him to move freely.
“Your injuries,” Lin Wuming asked, “were you hit while fighting the real Haiyuan Guanggui? It seems that guy isn’t bad after all, at least he put up a decent counterattack.”
Aizali struggled on the ground for a bit, then finally gave up, lying motionless on the ground.
Just as Lin Wuming had speculated, Aizali’s current injuries were precisely due to the counterattack he encountered when he assaulted Haiyuan Guanggui.
—Telekinetic Users are indeed very powerful; Lin Wuming, a Level 5, is one thing, but I didn’t expect Haiyuan Guanggui, who is only Level 4, to be so troublesome!
Aizali had to revise his assessment of Telekinetic Users…no, he should revise his assessment of Level 4 Espers.
It should be known that on the magic side, there is a general disdain for Espers, especially for those masters who dare to infiltrate Academy City alone.
Aside from their numerical advantage, the only thing truly formidable in Academy City is probably just the eight Level 5s, right?
But reality struck Aizali hard—a literal “strike.”
Around noon today, Aizali used the cover of the crowd to snipe Lin Wuming, who was flying high and conspicuously.
As a result, what was supposed to be a sure-hit attack was easily neutralized by the sand screen released by Lin Wuming…
—In fact, the principle was not complicated; it could only be said that Lin Wuming’s specially made kim kong sand dust just happened to counter Aizali’s decomposition magic.
In pursuit of even finer kim kong sand particles, Lin Wuming specifically commissioned a factory to produce a batch of special products.
—Using natural kim kong sand powder makes it difficult to obtain particles with a diameter below the micron scale, and it is easy to mix in various impurities, affecting manipulation performance.
Therefore, the factory used artificial diamond technology to fire a batch of “diamond dust” for Lin Wuming.
This was genuine “kim kong sand,” essentially pure carbon elements with identical volumes and even identical atomic arrangements.
Since they were already single elements, there was, of course, no possibility of “being decomposed.”
Aizali’s obsidian dagger was the magical Item “Spear of Travicantl Utole,” not the esper ability “Atomic Destroyer,” so it could not extend the concept of “decomposition” to the particulate level.
This was also why Lin Wuming only released a faint sand screen to neutralize the enemy’s attack.
Aizali did not understand science, nor did he need to understand this knowledge; in battle, he only needed to know one thing—the attack failed, and his ultimate technique was easily neutralized by the opponent!
Since that was the case, the battle lost its meaning to continue.
So Aizali decisively retreated and executed his backup plan—attacking Haiyuan Guanggui.
The result, as seen now, was not satisfactory.
Aizali’s surprise attack was indeed successful; he defeated Haiyuan Guanggui and obtained the key Item for casting transformation magic—a piece of skin about fifteen centimeters long.
But Haiyuan Guanggui was not a lamb to be slaughtered—after reacting, this Level 4 Telekinetic User launched a powerful counterattack.
In the close-quarters melee, Aizali witnessed for the first time how truly disgusting the existence of a “Telekinetic User” was.
Invisible attacks, invisible barriers, and sometimes even the opponent’s figure was invisible…Aizali felt as if he was fighting air, and what was worse, he truly couldn’t defeat his “air opponent.”
If Haiyuan Guanggui hadn’t already been injured and hadn’t been wary of the obsidian dagger in Aizali’s hand, he might have actually succeeded in his counterattack.
The reason Aizali was now desperately taking the risk of actively approaching Lin Wuming was also because the genuine Haiyuan Guanggui was hot on his heels.
If he didn’t act quickly, this fake identity could be exposed at any time, and then it would be troublesome.
Of course, as it turned out, Aizali was exposed from the very beginning—because he was not a Telekinetic User and could not see Lin Wuming’s esper ability, which had already approached him.
