Chapter 21: Five Years
Spring has turned to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed since Wright enrolled in the Puang First School of Magic.
In the past five years, Wright has been like a hungry desert traveler, hungry to learn basic magician knowledge, and in terms of earth and fire magic, Wright's cognition and strength have also been continuously improved. In addition to learning magic spells, Wright meditates every afternoon in a secluded woods outside the academy.
And fighter training, although Wright soon found that the fighter training in the electives was extremely basic.
Strange to say, since he began to practice magic and his mental power has continued to grow, Wright has had some strange dreams more and more frequently, these dreams are related to the man who looks like him, sometimes fighting, sometimes exercising, and more often it seems to be running away.
As he continued to dig into the dream, he observed the man's boxing moves, and gradually integrated some of his scattered boxing techniques into the empty-handed fighting move 'Flame Fist', as well as some scattered exercise secret techniques, and creatively combined a secret technique called 'Zen Meditation' with meditation, although the improvement of meditation was very low, but it was able to exercise his physical fitness while meditating. Thanks to these bizarre combat skills, Wright's current physical fitness has steadily reached the level of a fourth-level warrior.
At this moment, Wright sat cross-legged beside the stream, with his hands and feet facing up, listening to the murmuring of the stream, and naturally entered a meditative state in a meditative posture.
As the earth elements and fire elements entered the body from the limbs and hundreds of remains, first of all, a large number of earth elements and fire elements were purified and refined, and finally gathered in the 'middle dantian' in the center of the chest, condensing into magic power. Today, Wright's magic has reached the level of a fourth-level magician.
Remaining elemental power. The muscles, muscles and bones that penetrate deep into the body and even the organs in the body are slowly absorbing the moisture of the earth elements and fire elements. Physical fitness is steadily improving at a very slow pace. I have to say that although he has also exercised in the morning in the past five years, Wright, who has mainly focused on magic cultivation, can have good warrior abilities, in addition to the martial arts obtained in the dream realm, the nourishment of the fire element and the earth element is also a very important point.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Wright let out a long sigh of relief, a breath of white air exhaled from his mouth, and his body suddenly became agitated. Wright showed a smile, the secret technique 'Flame Fist' that was summarized in the dream has now reached the level of being classified as 'Dark Energy', although this dark energy level cannot directly improve physical fitness, it can speed up the speed of exercise, and can also be used for attacks, making attacks difficult to defend.
While Wright was secretly pleased with the results of his workout, the campus was noisy. Thousands of students from the entire academy, as well as a large number of magic teachers, and even many bigwigs from the outside world entered the academy to watch the battle.
Age Ring Match.
The students who can enter the No. 1 Magic Academy of Puang are all the pride of the sky!
Every ring match is very exciting, and the first-year game is a fireball, lightning, and wind blade. And the third-level and fourth-level competitions are exciting, with all kinds of auxiliary magic, range attack magic, such as shattered stones, and dozens of hundreds of big stones smashed down on the head, and ice needles flew around the ring.
As for the fifth, sixth, even more amazing competitions. The 'Ice Breath' that covers the entire ring, the 'Seismic' that will make the entire ring vibrate, and even some remote dark curse magic, or the very insidious 'Dark Flame' and 'Hidden Thunder', to a level, is not only a competition of magic, but also involves the use of tactics.
All kinds of dazzling magic appeared one after another, and the terrifying explosions rumbled one after another. The cheers of the onlookers below came one after another, and the atmosphere was completely at its peak. More than 80% of the students and teachers of the entire college are gathered here.
The Age Ring Tournament lasted for almost a month, and this month was also the most lively and crazy month in the entire Puang No. 1 Magic Academy, during this lively day, Wright only occasionally watched the fifth- and sixth-level competitions, and most of the rest of the time was quietly cultivated alone. After the life-and-death struggle he saw in his dream, Wright was very difficult to cheer up for a game like the Academy Ring Tournament, which was bound by all kinds of rules and was difficult to perform at full strength.
"Cheers!"
In the Canary Hotel, Wright had a dinner with four people, and Burke had a treat.
"Haha, Burke, you made it to the finals this year, and you finally put that nasty Jack down." Maui said with a grin, if he is 14 years old, he is still the shortest of the four, and the jack he said is a third-year student, and Carl is a bit long-sleeved and good at dancing, both of them are social figures among the students, but the relationship between the two is not very good.
It must be known that Carl's grade is bigger, and he was already a first-level magician when he entered the school, and five years have passed, and now he is a fourth-level magician, so naturally it is a little bad to 'bully the small with the big', so it is often Burke and Jack who are on the same page.
Now five years have passed, and the four brothers have grown up very quickly, Carl and Wright are both in the fourth year, and Burke and Maui are third-level magicians. Carl broke through to the fourth-level magician at the beginning of this year, and although he dominated the third-year ring competition last year, he could only be regarded as a rookie among the fourth-year magicians.
Burke's cultivation speed was a little slower due to the distraction of the warrior's cultivation, and he was promoted to a third-level magician before the academy ring competition.
It must be known that the change of grade is only carried out once a quarter, resulting in Burke being a third-level magician but representing the second grade to participate in the ring, of course, this is a normal operation, in fact, except for the fifth or sixth grade, the fourth grade and below, the basic champions are all students who have broken through to the next level.
For example, the one who defeated Burke was the champion of this year's second grade, a third-level light magician! Jack is also similar to 'in the second year but has broken through to the third grade', last year in the ring was still a second-level magician, both played to the quarterfinals, and then Jack pressed Burke to advance to the semi-finals.
Then this year, Burke and Jack fought each other like this, and they both broke through again, and Burke won the second place in the second year by breaking through earlier and mastering more third-level magic.
"What's there to congratulate," Burke frowned a little sadly, "After reaching the semi-finals, we joined the third-year competition, and even Nini and Nini (the champion) only won one game in the first game, and then we were quickly eliminated!" ”
"That's of course pull, you are all rookies among third-level magicians" Carl smiled, "Just like if I go to participate in the fourth-grade competition, it is estimated that I will win one or two games at most, in fact, the rules limit your strength, otherwise if you rely on the ability of a warrior, then you can wrestle with a fourth-level magician!" ”
Carl said this is also reasonable, the four brothers in the dormitory are all more serious and hard-working, and their talents are not low, Carl is currently the highest magic level, and the fourth-level magician can also rank in the top three among the students who enter in the same batch.
And Wright is also a fourth-level magician, and he is stronger than Carl, but in terms of fame, because he never participates in various social activities, few people know about it.
Maui is only a second-level magician, but this is because Maui focuses on alchemy, and now Maui can already refine third-level alchemy items, in the words of alchemy circles, a third-level alchemist!
As for Burke, he broke through to a third-level magician a few years ago, but the warrior level has reached the level of fourth, and the 17-year-old Burke is close to two and a half meters tall, with a large scimitar on his waist, which looks extremely powerful.
"Can't compare!" Burke shook his head, "If it's the kind of fourth-level warrior who is proficient in martial arts and has rich experience, he can compare with a fifth-level magician, but I also know that it's good to have some time to exercise physical fitness, and there is no time to exercise skills at all, so you can only rely on brute force, if you don't use magic assistance, even ordinary fourth-level magicians can't beat it." ”
"However, in the ring competition of a third-level magician, if you can use the strength of a warrior, it is easy to sweep, but unfortunately the academy ring competition does not allow the use of warrior power that exceeds the level of a magician, and you have to bring a special gravity ring to offset the strength of the warrior to participate in the ring competition!" Burke was somewhat indignant.
"We are the Academy of Magic," Maui said with a smile, "Of course, you have to limit the strength of the warriors, otherwise, even if you can sweep the ring of the third-level magician, it is estimated that Wright can beat you down, in terms of warrior strength, he is stronger than you." ”
"It's just hand-to-hand martial arts, Maui, don't laugh at Burke anymore." Wright also felt a little funny, "I can't beat Burke with weapons, but Burke, the strength of the warrior can't participate in the magician ring, it doesn't mean that it won't be useful in the future, think about our future experience in places like the Doomsday Mountains, someone treats us as ordinary magicians and approaches in close combat, and then we take out a long and thick magic wand and directly pick him up and knock him down, isn't it very emotional!" ”
"Poof, poof" Hearing Wright's words, Carl and Burke laughed and spit out the drink in their mouths. Maui even laughed and lay on the table, "Haha, a magic wand is lying down, ha... ”
After laughing for a while, Carl Zhengse said, "Actually, Wright, you can also participate in the magic ring competition, you are a fourth-level magician, a fourth-level warrior, and it is very easy to avoid magic, and besides, you don't say a stupid big guy like Burke, I really hope that our dormitory will have the first place in the ring competition, I estimate that it will be many years before I grow into a fourth-level magician, as for Maui, a weak chicken, I don't expect it!" Winning the tournament is not only about having that honor and prizes, but also about the way we fight."
Burke Maui (air drum)
Wright also replied: "Boss Carl, don't talk about it, I'm not interested in these competitions, it's not that you don't know, besides, you have also seen that the fighting style of our third- and fourth-level magicians is completely different from that of sixth-level magicians, and now even if we have to figure out the fighting style of magicians, we will have to start over again after becoming a fifth- or sixth-level magician, anyway, we won't even be able to reach the sixth-level magician." ”
"Okay, I won't persuade you either" Carl nodded, "It's not early today, and we have to rush back to the dormitory in the evening, let's go!" ”
