Serena, Norton, and the others also ran toward Ron. Serena looked at Ron worriedly and said, "Brother Ron, are you alright?"
Ron smiled and said, "I'm fine, thanks to it. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand that blow just now."
"It's good that you're fine." Serena's attention was all on Ron. As for the Ice Wand in his hand, she did not have the energy to care about it now. After hearing Ron's words, Norton was also relieved. Then, he looked at the Ice Wand with keen eyes. He had clearly seen the power of the Ice Wand just now. It was definitely a gold-tier magical weapon! And this weapon had come flying out earlier from the direction of the ancestral hall. It must have been the Old Ancestor who intervened. This Ice Wand had belonged to the Old Ancestor, but now it appeared that the Old Ancestor had given it to Ron.
"Senior, Senior? Are you alright?" At this moment, Ron and the others had heard Fiona's almost crying voice.
Her voice had caught everyone's attention and they looked towards Howen. After all, Howen was not an ordinary person. He was a top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy. If he were to really die here, everyone present would fear that something bad would also happen to them. Hence, everyone moved closer to see how Howen was doing.
However, Klein activated his magical power immediately, and a huge magic formation rose from beneath his feet. He looked at everyone warily, especially Ron, who had an Ice Wand in his hand. He was clearly afraid that Ron would continue to hurt Howen.
"What a petty person. I'm not as despicable as that senior of yours. I just want to help, that's all. If you don't want my help, that's fine." Ron saw the situation and did not bother going over.
"Let me take a look," at this moment, a voice could be heard. Klein looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was City Lord Lein. He immediately retracted the magical formation. After all, City Lord Lein did not have any conflict with them, so he was unlikely to attack Howen.
Furthermore, this was Lein's territory. He definitely would not want a top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy to die here. Therefore, Lein took a look at Howen's condition, following which he took out a Magic Pill and let Howen consume it. Then, he used a healing spell and instantly, all the ice crystals on Howen's body disappeared, and his body regained its warmth.
City Lord Lein said, "Don't worry, he is fine now. He will recover after a few days' rest!"
"Thank you, City Lord Lein," Klein said gratefully.
Serena also stood up and said, "Seniors, please bring Senior Howen to my house to rest. He needs to rest now!"
Fiona and Klein nodded. Although Howen and Serena had clashed earlier, they were still classmates. No matter what, Serena would not harm Howen.
Serena said to Ron, "Brother Ron, I'm going back now. I'll come back and look for you later."
"Yeah, go ahead," said Ron, who knew that now was not the time to catch up, so he let her go back first.
After what had happened, the banquet could no longer continue, and the other guests were all leaving one after another.
However, what happened today was indeed an eye-opener for everyone. They would probably be talking about this for the next half a year.
"Patriarch Norton, I shall take my leave as well!" City Lord Lein said.
Norton hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry. I had wanted to give good hospitality to the City Lord. I didn't expect all this to happen. I'm really sorry!"
City Lord Lein smiled and said, "It's fine. I think it is worth the trip to be able to see such an exciting duel today, especially your family's young genius who is already a level-5 Great Mage. His future is limitless."
The last sentence was directed at Ron, who quickly said, "Thank you for the compliment, City Lord. I still need to work harder."
"Hmm, not bad. You're so powerful and yet so humble. I'm beginning to think highly of you," City Lord Lein said and soon, he left the house of the Nicholas family. But just before he left, he looked in the direction of the ancestral hall, with a profound emotion.
At this moment, Romo, who was in the ancestral hall, suddenly looked toward City Lord Lein. Just now, Romo had felt a trace of an undulating magical power. The System notified him that he was being probed by magical power.
How could Romo not have known that this was definitely City Lord Lein probing his magical power? In the entire Winterfrost, only City Lord Lord Lein had the ability to detect him. However, Romo was not worried at all. This was because his current state was not that of an ordinary spirit, but one protected by the System. If the System had not wanted the other party to detect him, then even if the other party was a Great Archmage, or greater still, a Divine Mage, he would still not be able to detect Romo's existence.
However, the other party was a Great Archmage, and even a City Lord, it was really not kind of him to secretly use magical power to probe him. Later, he would upgrade the Protective Formation. If the Protective Formation was of a higher level, the other party would not be able to detect him so easily.
After a while, the System notified Romo that the probing magical power had disappeared. It seemed that the other party had retracted the probing magical power without discovering anything.
On the other side, after Grimm and his son had departed from the Nicholas Family, Cyril looked at the Nicholas family with a resentful expression. Thinking about how Ron had demonstrated his prowess just now, Cyril said indignantly, "The Nicholas family clan must have kept some secrets. All their businesses suddenly flourish to the point of bursting, and the strength of their family members keeps increasing, with one after another advancing to the realm of the Great Mage. Even that loser, Ron, who clearly had all his magic runes shattered, has recovered, and is even more powerful than before. He has even reached the realm of a level-5 Great Mage. I don't believe their family does not have any secrets."
Maril Grimm frowned as well. Business and cultivation were secondary, and their Grimm family could still suppress the other party without worrying at all. He was, however, worried about Ron actually advancing so quickly that he had become a level-5 Great Mage at such a young age.
