Everyone present was forced to confront a truth they were reluctant to accept.
Even Max, an archmage, and Count Greypine found themselves stunned.
Just moments ago, Leit had been trapped within the breakthrough magic array, sitting with his back to the crowd like a caged bird.
But now, he had broken free—emerging transformed, reborn like a butterfly from its cocoon.
Not even thirty years old, and already possessing level 7 mana affinity—that level practically touched the ceiling of the world's magical standards.
Everyone began speculating how such a powerful Leit might influence the balance of power between nations.
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, Joad suddenly let out a light chuckle and spoke up, "See? I told you from the very beginning—Senior Leit is incredibly strong. Even if all of you attacked him together, you wouldn't stand a chance. You might even get counter-killed instead. Well? Wasn't I completely right?"
This time, no one dared refute Joad's words.
