"What level is he?"
Xi Ligui replied, "Lu An is 17 years old, a level 16 mage, accompanied by his teacher, a level 18 Great Mage from the association named Mo Fa Te."
Both are mages!
This Lu An, to be merely 17 years old.
To have reached level 16 as a mage at 17 is rare even among humans.
No wonder he's so audacious.
Just arriving on the island and challenging one in his prime, he truly has the capital to be arrogant.
The other person, his teacher.
A level 18 Great Mage, his profession, and level are the formidable backing of the opponent.
Upon considering this.
For Lu An to defeat himself would be laying the groundwork for his own status to reach level 18.
And the veteran mage agreeing to them making such a grand entrance upon arrival on the island, also serves to accumulate his own reputation.
His apprentice showing off in public also serves as a promotion for him.
