Chapter 119: Fighting Han Dong Again
On the huge martial arts field, there are crowds of people and dense. The stands in the four sides were already full and crowded. Those students who arrived late, after looking around and unable to find a seat, could only find a place in the corridor where they could barely stay.
At the four entrances of the arena, there were several tables and chairs, and more than a dozen students kept shouting, attracting students who came to watch the battle to place bets. And the object of the bet is who will win today's championship.
Yue Yu Hao Wei and other eliminated team members from the fire department branch had already sat in the stands, constantly waving to Zhu Shuai and the others, cheering for a few people.
Zhu Shuai and the other 20 students who made it to the top 20 were already standing on the competition platform at this time, waiting for the start of the lottery ceremony.
Soon after, Elder Long Yu and the others swept to the rostrum, sat in the center, and signaled that the game could be held. And some of the mentors who were in charge of today's game began to get busy.
Today is the last day of the House Competition. Since there are only 20 contestants left, and their strength is not weak, the competition was moved to the competition field, so that it is convenient for other students in the academy to observe and learn, and enhance everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation.
However, the rules of this year's Top 20 tournament have made some changes, and they no longer use a double-elimination system as in previous years. Today's competition is divided into four rounds. Twenty into ten, the loser is eliminated directly. Ten into five, the loser is eliminated directly. Five into three, the loser is eliminated directly. The final three will play a round-robin match to determine the final champion, runner-up and third place.
This kind of competition system is even more cruel. After all, with a double-elimination system, if you accidentally lose one, you still have a chance to make a comeback in the lower bracket. But this year's format doesn't allow for any mistakes. If you lose, you will be completely disqualified from competing for the championship.
The mentor in charge quickly completed the lottery ceremony, and the list of ten groups of battles was soon announced.
The strong showdown that everyone wanted to see did not appear in advance, and Zhu Shuai's opponent was Han Dong, who had some grievances with him before. Yu Yao, on the other hand, met a nine-stage archmage from the Earth Branch. As for Lin Haoyu, Gao Murong and others, they didn't encounter them, and they fought against other opponents respectively.
This kind of matchup, although it is not so exciting, but those who can stay until now are not idle people, so it is also very exciting.
As soon as the draw is over, the game begins.
The competition field of the academy is very large, so in the first round of the competition, the instructors divided the competition platform into ten areas, and ten matches were held at the same time.
After a few words of advice to Yu Yao, Zhu Shuai walked to the area where he belonged and waited for the start of the game. Not long after, Han Dong also came here and looked at Zhu Shuai with some disdain.
Han Dong is not tricky for Zhu Shuai. In Haoyang City that day, if it weren't for Elder Ye Fei's timely action, I am afraid that it would only be the strength of the eighth-stage mage, and he could be defeated.
But Han Dong didn't have such an awareness. After all, that time in Haoyang City, the last blow was interrupted by Elder Ye Fei, so it was unknown who would win and who would lose. In addition, on that day, Han Dong was caught off guard without knowing Zhu Shuai, and was burned by Zhu Shuai's soul, so the power of the spell dropped a lot.
Moreover, in the past half a year, Han Dong's level has broken through to the level of an eighth-stage archmage, and his strength has skyrocketed, and the combination of these things has made Han Dong not take Zhu Shuai in his eyes at all.
Although Zhu Shuai has defeated Murong Yumeng one after another since entering the academy, so what? Han Dong's current strength, when he meets the two, he is also sure of winning, so Han Dong is full of confidence in himself.
After putting on the magic robe, the ten groups of competitions started at the same time amid the tsunami-like shouts of the audience!
Han Dong took the lead in taking out a magic staff and began to wave it, and with Han Dong's movements, the surrounding water elements immediately began to condense.
Zhu Shuai put the Five Elements Rotation Technique into operation, and after mobilizing the Five Elements in his body, as soon as his mind moved, the ground spike burst out from under Han Dong's feet.
Sensing the danger under his feet, Han Dong did not disperse, moved his body slightly, and after avoiding Zhu Shuai's tentative blow, Jiaolong also went out to sea and cast it.
A two-meter-long water dragon roared towards Zhu Shuai.
Zhu Shuai smiled faintly, and when his mind turned, a water dragon of the same size also appeared in front of him. Han Dong's Jiaolong going to sea is a high-level spell of the Xuan Rank, while Zhu Shuai's Dragon Xiao Nine Heavens is a low-level spell of the Spirit Rank. Although the difference between the two spells is only one level, the power is very different.
The power of any kind of spirit-level spell is far above the high-level of the Xuan-rank, and the several spirit-level spells selected by the Wood Sage for Zhu Shuai are all the best among them, and their attack power is stronger than some of the high-level spirit-level spells.
Therefore, as soon as the two spells came into contact slightly, Han Dong's Jiaolong went out to sea and instantly turned into a curtain of water and scattered down. And the dragon roared for nine days, and it continued to rush towards Han Dong.
Han Dong's face changed a little. Zhu Shuai's strength seems to have exceeded his expectations.
The corners of Zhu Shuai's mouth raised a sneer. In Haoyang City that day, I was only an eighth-stage mage, and I had been entangled with you for a long time. However, after you have advanced to the rank of archmage, you Han Dong will have no power to fight back!
The water dragon roared towards Han Dong, and in an emergency, Han Dong could only quickly wave the staff in his hand and set up several water barriers in front of him to resist the invasion of the water dragon.
Taking advantage of Han Dong's distraction and defense, Zhu Shuai's mind changed again, and the Burst Flame Dance gradually condensed in front of him.
It was not easy to resist Zhu Shuai's attack from the water dragon, Han Dong just wanted to attack again, but when he saw the fire lotus slowly rising in Zhu Shuai's hand, his face changed again.
Of course, Han Dong will not forget the pain in the depths of his soul at the beginning. And his soul injury was caused by this purple fire lotus.
The staff in his hand swung sharply, and a water-based trident that shimmered with faint fluorescence appeared in front of Han Dong's body, and with a fierce swing of his palm, the trident swept towards the other party almost at the same time as the fire lotus.
The fire lotus and the trident approached quickly, but Zhu Shuai's soul power suddenly came out of his body and attached to the fire lotus. With a smile on the corner of Zhu Shuai's mouth, he took the initiative to start the soul competition!
Some of the students who had seen the two fight that day instantly flushed when they looked at the current situation in the field.
Due to Elder Ye Fei's action that day, the confrontation between the two came to an end, which made them very disappointed. But today's duel between the two seems to be a repetition of the situation of that day, and this time, no one will stop it!
Between the two, who is better?
At this time, Han Dong no longer dared to compete with Zhu Shuai for soul power, and in desperation, he could only look at the purple fire lotus, and instantly smashed the trident, which was also a spirit level spell, into pieces.
There was a wave of surprise in the stands. Han Dong's Trident of the Sea is a stunt that he relies on to become famous, even some nine-rank archmage masters need to be treated with caution, but now, Zhu Shuai almost effortlessly destroyed it! Zhu Shuai's strength is actually so strong, and it is probably not much different from Xifeng Yugao.
After Zhu Shuai entered the academy, he was very mysterious, and he had only fought with Murong Yumeng twice, so everyone didn't know his true strength. In addition, when facing Yu Gao that day, Zhu Shuai admitted defeat and withdrew, which made other students feel that Zhu Shuai was nothing more than that.
Now seeing that Zhu Shuai broke the Trident of the Sea very easily, he would be so surprised.
However, it was not so easy to destroy a spirit level spell so easily. It's just that the power of the Flame Burst Dance has increased a lot under the bonus of the Nether Ghost Fire. In addition, Han Dong did not dare to compete with Zhu Shuai for soul power, and there was no soul power attached to the trident, so Zhu Shuai could easily disperse it.
But the students watching in the stands didn't know this, so seeing that Zhu Shuai easily had the upper hand, his eyes were full of disbelief, only Yue Yu and the others had a look on their faces that they had already expected.
The trident turned into a curtain of water and scattered down, and the fire lotus, which was unblocked, quickly swept towards Han Dong. Although Han Dong tried his best to set up several defenses, he was broken by the Fire Lotus one by one, and Han Dong could only pale his cheeks and watch as the Fire Lotus smashed the illusion robe on his body.
At this time, Han Dong's heart was extremely desolate. Before the game, he was still full of confidence, but he didn't expect that after only a few rounds, he was quickly defeated by Zhu Shuai.
The huge contrast made Han Dong feel like he was collapsing, there was no trace of blood on his face, and he walked down the stone platform blankly. Han Xianhe reminded himself more than once that he must be careful of Zhu Shuai, and it is best not to let him leave the academy alive, but now, he is no longer his one-in-one general!
defeated Han Dong, Zhu Shuai did not have the slightest sense of pride. Although he defeated Han Dong and fought for the Zhu family, Zhu Shuai understood that his opponents today were Yu Gao and Xifeng. Only by defeating them can you win the championship and get the reward.
Jumping off the stone platform, Zhu Shuai looked at the situation in several other places. Yu Gao and Zefeng were already standing aside with their hands in their hands at this time. After all, there is a huge difference between a mage and an archmage, and the two of them can easily win.
Yu Yao and Lin Hao are still in a fierce battle. Yu Yao was already at a disadvantage at this time, and it was only a matter of time before she was defeated. However, being able to successfully enter the top 20 and obtain the qualification to enter the door of life and death, Yu Yao is already very satisfied, so there will be no regrets if she loses this time.
Senior Lin Hao is constantly fighting with his opponent, and he can't tell the winner for the time being. However, Senior Lin Hao did not use spirit level spells in this game, so he should have saved a hand for himself. Since he dares to do this, it shows that Senior Lin Hao has a certain grasp of this game, so Zhu Shuai will not be worried.
Looking at Yumeng and Murong again, the strength of their opponents is not weak, Murong relies on his identity as a Yin Yang mage, when he casts spells, he makes the opponent unpredictable, and he should be able to win. Yumeng has fallen behind and should stop there. However, with Yumeng's strength, if it weren't for Yugao's prestige, it is estimated that he would not even be able to enter the top twenty. It has been extremely difficult to get to this point.
Just when Zhu Shuai was looking around, Yu Yao's magic robe was shattered by the opponent and defeated. After saluting with the tutor, he walked towards Zhu Shuai.
