Chapter 460: Magic Fighting
The wizards of the Celestial Empire, who called themselves alchemists, used magic bracelets to assist in gesture casting. The bracelet can be seen as a wand that is bent into a ring. According to the records in the book, in history, the Heavenly Empire monks used a variety of tools to cast spells. However, as time passed, after balancing the two requirements of simplicity and magical power, the Celestial Empire monks finally chose the bracelet as their casting tool.
If you want to talk about characteristics, the biggest spell-casting feature of the Celestial Empire alchemists is that they can use spell-casting materials. For example, all kinds of powdered liquid magic herbs, such as rune paper or talisman cards with runes drawn in advance. The drawback of this spell is that the type of spell released will be limited by the pre-preparation, and the cost will be higher. However, the upside is that the success rate and power of the spell will increase by the same amount.
Well, Ryan had tried to use the knowledge of Maoshan Dao to use spellcasting materials to assist in spellcasting. But it may be because different worlds have different rules, and these rules sometimes conflict. The method that led him to grope for himself had many flaws, so the effect was very average. And now the books in the library can help him a lot.
Hermione, on the other hand, had found some soul-related magic in the library, which she could use as another entry point into the more convenient rules between graduate and death.
Just as the two of them were in the library, the little puppets also found a good place to be useful to them: they were wandering around the campus when they happened to meet Professor Yanyun, a descendant of the Yanshi clan. The Rose Crystal, who can share all her knowledge with Ryan, uses her doll-making knowledge to talk to Professor Yanyun about it, so Professor Yanyun also shares his ancestral puppet secret technique with the little guy. At the same time, let your puppets and the Rose Maiden compete with each other, and help these newborn little puppets improve their usual combat and spell casting skills.
After spending half a month reading the books that Ryan and the others wanted to read, they naturally became familiar with many Celestial Dynasty scholars who took advantage of the holidays to read books in the library. So one afternoon, when the alchemists were clamoring to go to the ring, Ryan and Hermione followed.
"Ring fighting is our favorite event, much more popular than the Quidditch we brought in from you. "Yan Yue, a young Celestial Dynasty woman said this, she is a student of Kunlun Academy, and she will be in the sixth grade after the start of school. It was when I was reading a book that I met Ryan. She appeared in school during the holidays because she planned to be admitted here after graduating from Kunlun College, and her family's economic conditions were good. So I came over in advance to feel the breath of the highest school of the Heavenly Empire.
Ring fighting is actually built in a sunken stadium that is divided by magical barriers the size of basketball courts. There are people playing against each field, both solo and in squads of two or three. There are 10 fields in the entire stadium, and four people who look like professors are ready to stop the magic that is too dangerous.
"Okay, I'll play first. Yan Yue said as he entered a ring under the beckoning of several companions. As soon as she and her opponent stood up, they saw a red light shoot out from their opponent's hand, but Yan Yue reached out and held up a plate-sized blue translucent shield to block the red light.
"It's a sneak attack again, are you only learning sneak attacks in Jiuli? After saying that, she pointed a little forward with a sword, and a transparent air sword shot out. The man with the ponytail opposite her quickly flashed this trick to the side. The air sword struck on the specially treated stone slabs and made a sound of gold and stone.
"I can sneak attack, it's also my ability!" That Jiuli Fang Shi seemed to be an acquaintance with Yan Yue, and from time to time he put out red or green beams to hinder Yan Yue's movements. But Ryan could feel that he was actually using these moves as cover, secretly releasing tiny insects and the like, with some powder in between.
Because of his dual-purpose reasons, Jiuli Fangshi was forced to the edge of the ring step by step. Just when he seemed to be about to fall out of the ring, he smiled at Yan Yue: "Five Gods Gathering, you have been fooled." β
With one gesture of his, the things he had placed on the table were immediately activated. A stream of green smoke came out of the ground like petals, and then wrapped Yan Yuemeng in his house.
"Haha, I won. However, at the moment when Jiuli Fangshi cheered, Yan Yue's crisp voice came from the green smoke balloon. "My stupid brother, do you really think you've won?"
Before the words fell, a transparent air bead the size of a football smashed in front of Jiuli Fangshi and exploded violently. The Jiuli Fangshi, who was still cheering in the bag just now, was directly blown up. Then he fell to the ground in disgrace.
"I feel like I'm going to break a bone, sister, you're too ruthless. The young Jiuli Fangshi stood up and waved his hand to remove the dust from his body, and then complained to Yan Yue who came out of the dust.
"I've been on your guard since you last used this trick, don't take everyone else for a fool. Yan Yue cleaned the dust off his body and grabbed the ear of the benevolent brother. "Actual combat is about improvisation, and it is the stupidest thing to use a set of tricks back and forth. β
Next, at the invitation of Yan Yue's sisters and brothers, Ryan and Hermione had a two-on-two fight with them. The Yan family sisters and brothers do have certain practical skills. At the beginning, the younger brother released the mist and began to obscure his vision, while the older sister hid in the mist and attacked.
However, Ryan and Hermione easily used their magic to sense the location of the siblings hidden in this mist that could block ordinary magic detection, and then quickly hit the same point with two successive silent stun spells. The first spell breaks the opponent's defensive magic, and then the second spell stuns the opponent.
The battle lasted less than a minute, and then Ryan and the others fought several times against the other volunteers who came up, but for those fights, whether they were one-on-one or two-player team fights, they basically ended the fight within a minute. Even when they are defeated, they don't know how they failed.
The surrounding onlookers looked a little depressed. Yan Yue is a very extroverted person, and she is quite familiar with Ryan and them during the study time in the library for half a month, so she came up directly and asked, "Are all British wizards so powerful?"
"No, no, no!" Hermione, looking at the frustrated-looking onlookers, explained, "We're just one example, Ryan, for example, won the Triwizard Tournament the year before, in the first game he single-handedly beat a Western dragon to death, and this year, we were defeated in a battle against the Death Eaters, the most powerful terrorist organization in our country. According to one of our Aurors, we are no worse than the Aurors of some classes. You don't have to treat us as normal students. β
After a brief introduction to what the Aurors were, a pair of young twins walked up: "May I ask if we are lucky enough to fight you?"
"Brother Wang, why did you adults come to bully my nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law?" said Uncle Ryan as he squeezed out of the crowd at this time, looking at the twins. "I remember that you took the third and fourth places respectively when you joined the patrol envoys last year, and you won a third-class merit in the first year of your employment. With such a high level, is it too much to bully my nephews and grandchildren who have not yet graduated?"
"Professor Liang, it's actually like thisβ" Another professor next to him, who had just watched the whole process, explained, and after listening to the explanation, his uncle smiled, "Well, I see that you two little guys are much more powerful than I thought. In that case, let's try it now. A couple of our professors are referees for you. β
Soon the professors connected the four rings together and created some cover and obstacles on top of them. After that, amid the cheers of the surrounding teachers and students, the four of them stepped into the ring and prepared to start the competition between them.
