Ten days later.

The selection battle is still in full swing, with the deepening of the battle process, the strength gap between the candidates has narrowed, the victory or defeat is more and more suspenseful, and the degree of viewing of the game is rising.

- It's true that there is a trend overall, but there is only one exception, and that is Russell.

He has absolute strength, often the moment he comes on stage, he loses the ability to fight before the opponent finishes the chant, and even, the audience has never seen him cast a spell seriously, because it is too one-sided, it is really boring, so the competition he participated in was rated as "the most unwatchable and least suspenseful game ranked first".

In this way, Russell easily advanced to the top 16 all the way in seconds, without dragging his feet at all, and did not spend any time on the selection battle. He makes the most of his free time, in addition to teaching Kailin, physical exercises, reading books in the library, and learning new spells.

The magical knowledge imparted by the Southern Mage Academy is not very practical in battle, but on the contrary, it does one thing particularly well, that is, its knowledge system is very systematic and the theory is very complete.

This is exactly what Russell lacks, [King of the World] is just a game world, although it simulates an extremely real magical world, but it can't simulate a real energy system, such as magic.

In [King of the Realm], mana is just a data, quantity, the higher the level, the better the attributes, the stronger the equipment, the more magic you have, the more powerful the spell, as long as you recite the spell, make gestures, the magic will automatically decrease, thus releasing the spell.

And in Grantis, the formation and operation of magic in the body involves meditation, mental power, magic power, magic pool, magic circuit, and even more mysterious perceptions, not that the greater the magic power, the greater the power of the spell, if you want to release the spell, you must be able to refine the magic power, be able to control it to operate in the body, maintain it outside the body, guide it to combine with natural energy and external elements, and pay attention to too many aspects when fighting, serious distraction, and extreme complexity.

Although Russell has a system, the system only reflects his abilities with intuitive data, and he is still a living Grantis human being, following the rules of the world.

Yes, despite the similarity, there is a world of difference in authenticity.

Russell, who originally came to this world, also did not have these abilities, he only had some knowledge, insight, and experience and skills in combat spell casting that may not be applicable, but he had [Frost Heart], so his casting and magic control of ice spells seemed to have been precipitated for many years, and it was a matter of course, almost no different from the game, he had a talent, or instinct.

However, this is obviously not enough, except for the ice spell, he has only mastered a few first-ring and second-ring spells of the original body, and his attainments as a mage are very poor, and he still needs to learn the real magic, that is, magic and spells.

After finishing his usual daily study and research, Russell arrived in the battle hall, where he was waiting for the results of the draw for the fourth round.

"I hope I don't run into you."

Beside him, someone laughed and accosted him.

"Does that make sense?"

The man's tone was frivolous, Russell didn't look at him, he could recognize who it was, and said indifferently: "Rig, you know that you can't meet me, maybe you have guessed who your opponent is, so you don't come to tell me these things." ”

After a few rounds of competition, the players regarded him as an untouchable taboo, combined with the gossip circulating in the academy, they all talked about him Tiger Color, a person with bottomless strength, no one wants to meet, human nature, Russell can understand.

But Akito doesn't say dark words, he doesn't like this kind of hippie smile, carrying people who pretend to be confused. The game has progressed to this point, and many people have already felt that the so-called fair game is actually shady, and Rig will not know that this kind of tentative language, forget it once, is too much.

Russell admires people who are scheming and good at disguise, provided that they don't use these on him, let alone think they are smart and take others for fools.

"Well, just kidding."

Rig was plugged back, his hot face against his cold ass, and he laughed dryly.

"As you say, I already know who my opponent is."

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Rig analyzed Russell's words: "If nothing else, it's Tyrone, eight or nine is not far from ten." He had a bye in the second round, and the opponents he met were all weak, so he was sent all the way, otherwise with his ranking outside the thirty points, how could he break into the fourth round, to say that it was all luck, I don't believe that his uncle didn't contribute. ”

He said what he thought, as if he was asking Russell's opinion, pointed to his nose, and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant, I'm the one who showed the worst strength in the top 16." ”

This is the truth, Rigge is a real protracted battle in every round, it is very difficult to win, he does not have any wonderful and dazzling performances, every time he is procrastinating, and the opponent keeps fighting, fighting until the magic is exhausted to be able to advance, so most people think that he is the weakest in the top 16.

If his guess is correct and Tyrone wants to continue to advance, he should be the next opponent to be drawn.

"Look."

Russell was noncommittal, staring at the bright red light that was filling in the groove, and whispered:

"We'll see right away."

The pedestal overflowed, and the red symmetrical tree diagram soon appeared in the air, revealing the large header of the "Fourth Round of the Selection Battle", this time, which divided the sixteen people into eight groups.

Those who advance to the quarterfinals in this round will directly qualify for the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Exercise, while the eight losers will need to participate in the semi-finals to determine the remaining four who will participate in the martial arts exercise.

"Sure enough, my opponent is him..."

As soon as the results appeared, Rig immediately let out a loud sigh, with a sad face and a look of giving up on treatment, attracting the contestants to look at him.

This guy...

Russell glanced at him, only to see that he was worried on the surface, but his eyes were full of disapproval, "Less garlic." ”

Others don't know that Rigg hides his strength, but Russell knows it very well, not only because of the [True Pupil], whether it is from insight or common sense, a person who controls himself in three consecutive games and only wins a little bit is not normal, he is pretending to be too much.

It's still too tender.

This man's tricks can only be played on children in the academy, and Russell didn't bother to pay any more attention to his little tricks and found the place where his name was.

Sanchez Robinson.

Familiar people, Russell's opponent is this water mage.
