43 made the cut
Phantom vs. Phantom, Master vs. Master, Arena 2 was divided into two battlefields.
In the face of the oncoming fireball, Qi Fei's complexion did not change, and he calmly moved sideways to the left to effectively dodge.
Thanks to the blessing of the fire ape, Hou Zijian's attainments and power of the fire spirit technique in one hand were not weaker than the average two-star spirit warrior, but he couldn't do long-range traction manipulation, so the fireball flew directly over the arena and hit the spirit sub barrier set up on the periphery, and finally disappeared.
However, such a result was already expected by him.
The purpose of this fireball was to make Qi Fei dodge to the left, because in this way, it happened to land on his backhand attack.
The finger duel composed of a total of seven finger prints was played out in Hou Zijian's hand in an orderly manner, and the energy of the cracks immediately converged in his right hand.
In the next second, Hou Zijian held his right wrist with his left hand and suddenly pushed it towards the position where Qi Fei landed, and shouted angrily: "Explode!" Burst Flames! ”
The bursting fire spiritual power was instantly released, and the crazy catharsis was released in the area where Qi Fei was, bursting out like a small bomb with a violent bombardment, and rolling up a three-zhang high wave of flame qi, burning everything around him.
"Win!"
Hou Zijian succeeded in one blow, and after seeing Qi Fei's entire person being bombarded head-on by his [Burst Flame], he immediately felt that the victory was in his hands.
As the most destructive representative of the five elements in the early and middle stages, the lethality of the fire spirit technique is undoubted, and he Hou Zijian is the best among them.
Hou Zijian is confident that this blow will definitely burn all Qi Fei's clothes and hair, and even his whole person is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
And yet—
"Not bad!"
The light sound came from the smoke of the embers.
The joy on Hou Zijian's face suddenly froze, and he looked straight ahead in amazement, and when the smoke cleared, a blue curtain of water appeared in everyone's eyes.
"-Wow!"
"It's a water prison!"
"There is still such an operation!"
There was an uproar inside and outside the venue, and Hou Zijian in the venue couldn't help but look gloomy.
Like [Burst Flame], [Water Prison Technique] is a second-level water spirit spell that can form a layer of water curtain at a designated location, trapping the target in it.
This kind of control technique, which was originally used to contain the enemy, actually served as a means of defense in Qi Fei's hands, and the effect was not ordinarily good.
As early as after dodging the first fireball, Qi Fei saw Hou Zijian's move to pinch the trick, and also guessed his next spell, so he immediately made a decision and used a move [Water Prison Technique] to draw the ground as a prison and trap himself.
In this way, even if the flames outside rose and the heat wave was pressing, it would not hurt Qi Fei who was imprisoned in the water curtain at all.
Moreover, even though the two sides seemed to be offending each other in attack and defense, Qi Fei still took advantage, because the spiritual power consumed by [Burst Flame] was at least one-third more than that of [Water Prison Technique].
Although Qi Fei and Hou Zijian seemed to be evenly matched, the battle between the phantoms on the other side had already come to an end.
From the beginning, Hou Zijian strengthened four buffs for his phantom spirit, and made the fire ape release the mystery [transformation] and evolved into the Flame Demon Ape, which successfully dragged Kojiro.
However, he still underestimated Kojiro and Qi Fei.
Even if he was good at fire-based spiritual skills, even if Qi Fei's side had been in a defensive posture obviously out of consideration for saving spiritual power, he still couldn't defeat the other party in one fell swoop.
On the other side, the shrill howl of the fire ape, which had not stopped since the beginning of the battle, had now lived up to its previous high-pitched rage, and had obviously begun to weaken.
After transforming into a Flame Demon Ape, its strength, defense, and recovery power have all increased significantly, but its sensitivity has decreased significantly.
In this way, although Kojiro could not be killed directly, he also left dozens of knife marks of different shades on its body; On the fire ape's side, it has never been able to cause any effective damage to Kojiro, because Kojiro's speed and reflexes really don't give it any chance.
The matter has come to this, even if Hou Zijian still has the strength to spare, he can only grit his teeth and shout: "I admit defeat!" ”
As the master of the fire ape, he is naturally very clear about the condition of his own phantom spirit, if it is a little later, after the fire ape finishes transforming, even if the other party's phantom does not make a move, I am afraid that he will die tragically on the spot directly because of the existing wounds on his body.
In the vast majority of cases, if the Wraith dies, it will directly lose its level.
If he can win this game, Hou Zijian doesn't mind fighting to the end, but since he has understood that he has no chance of winning, he is not a person who does not shed tears without seeing the coffin.
The referee teacher, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately entered the door to announce the end of the battle after seeing Hou Zijian take the initiative to admit defeat.
And Hou Zijian also took the fire ape back into the foundation plate in his divine sea for the first time, and then turned his head and glared at Qi Fei, and then left the arena directly.
At the end of the battle, Qi Fei won again, and still chose to continue to defend and enter the third battle.
This time, he was fighting against a third-year spiritual classmate from this school, and he didn't know if this person was brave or wanted to gamble, Qi Fei's spiritual power was not enough after the first two battles.
The result speaks for itself, at the beginning of the battle, not to mention the attack, he didn't even have time to defend, so he was instantly invaded close by Kojiro, and almost cut off his entire arm with a single sword.
Kojiro's agility and speed have been shown very intuitively in the first two battles, and in this kind of battle in the ring, it is impossible to open the distance in an instant, but it will be directly touched by Kojiro's face in an instant, and the knife in his hand is an instant kill.
It can be said that unless it is the master, and it is not weaker than the previous master like Hou Zijian, otherwise ordinary warriors and spirits, in the face of Kojiro's speed and sword skills, there is no suspense at all, and it is completely the end of the second kill.
The fight continues, and the third scene is a good-looking girl.
Just looking at the girl's slender figure, smooth hands, and unsteady footsteps, you know that this is another standard spiritual practice.
But this time, as soon as the girl stepped onto the arena, she secretly looked at Kojiro next to Qi Fei with her peripheral vision, and immediately waved at the referee without saying a word, indicating that she admitted defeat, and then hurriedly left the game.
Starting from the girl's round, after two more people conceded defeat one after another, Qi Fei completed the entire defense and got the first advanced place in the game, ranking fifteenth on the ranking list.
At the entrance of the backstage passage, Bai Ye watched Qi Fei's battle throughout the whole process, the expression on his face became unprecedentedly cold, and his gloomy eyes kept looking at Qi Fei and his phantom spirit, and his eyes were no longer as relaxed and confident as before.
Originally, he didn't take Qi Fei seriously at all, and regarded the other party's presumptuous words about himself who threatened to challenge in the qualifying match in the morning as an arrogant move that was beyond his strength.
But now, after watching Qi Fei fight the whole way, he finally began to face up to this former brother, and put the other party in the position of a different old enemy in his heart.
