Chapter 004: You're Not Qualified
Hedain's face tightened, her eyes fixed on the swooping flame blade. Even if he was three or four meters away, he could still feel the scorching heat.
He knew that the blow in front of him was very powerful, but he was not dangerous as he had been training all kinds of alchemy techniques. With his toes a little forward, his whole body suddenly rushed into the sky like a giant bird. Under the sunlight, the whole body seems to be hidden in endless darkness.
In an instant, a blue arc of electricity turned into several electric filaments and strung into the flame blade, and with a bang, all the scorching flame blades swelled up, turning into flames and slowly dissipating.
After seeing that his attack cracked the opponent's move, Hydeyin's face did not show half a point of relaxation, but instead slowly approached the handsome young man in front of him solemnly. He knew very well that the man in front of him was also a very good genius in Smokescreen Town, and if he hadn't played 100% today, there would definitely be no way to win him.
In order to be with Ivy, Hedin had gambled all his determination, and at this moment, his essence was more concentrated than ever, even stronger than usual.
Several thunderbolts like snakes emanated from his body, striking directly at the handsome young man.
"Thunderbolt. Chop! Hedin didn't dare to waste any time, and swept forward, and the electricity hit the handsome young man's chest and legs like lightning points along his fingers. As long as it is temporarily abolished, it is difficult to form an effective combat force, then the victory of this competition will belong to you.
The tiny lightning point is only the size of a thumb, but the current intensity contained in it is very exaggerated, and it can almost electrocute adult wolves, tigers and ordinary beasts.
Seeing that blow, the handsome young man's expression changed slightly. There was a bit of shock and a little bit of horror. He didn't expect that Heideyin, who was from a mere civilian background, would be so powerful and restrain his instinctive reaction. And the combat ability and reaction are very fast.
Looking at this blow, all the civilians nervously watched with bated breath. An unbelievable thought came to their minds, and even their faces remained dumbfounded, and their bodies remained motionless, like petrified stone sculptures.
"Oh my God, could it be that Heidein will be able to achieve this victory? It's crazy, he really managed to defeat the strongest genius alchemist in Smokescreen Town today. β
"I actually saw a scene of a new star in the future, and it seems that I am lucky."
"Ah, him, him......"
Heidein's quick and decisive action won everyone's praise. Those words were like waves and waves, which made many people's originally calm hearts rise on fire.
Many people thought that Grant would lose, but the current situation was not as miserable as imagined, and Heidein did not lose as he imagined.
Laugh at!!
The thunder light fell in front of the handsome young man, and with a bang, it turned into countless electric nets and spread away, acting on the handsome young man's whole body and other positions.
He held back the pain and staggered back, his eyes filled with shock and shame. An alchemist from a noble background couldn't defeat a commoner, and he was simply slapped in the face.
Owen, who was sitting in the stands, changed his face slightly. It was gloomy, but the corners of his mouth outlined an imperceptible sneer: "You do have some ability, but compared with the background of an aristocratic family, you are still a little younger after all." Now let me see if you can hold my son down. β
Drink!
Heydein fell to the ground with a thud, and the battle platform was centered on the soles of his feet. Several pitch-black cracks spread, and a lot of dust the size of rice grains rolled forward.
He took up his sword. One sprint forward. The sword light suddenly fell like countless thunderbolts, slamming into the handsome young man's body.
The handsome young man was also a little confused. I didn't expect that Heideyin didn't even give him half a break.
A nameless fire erupted from his heart and burned all over his chest, and in a few moments he felt like he was about to explode.
"No, I can't fight like this, I can only use the magic mark that my father planted on me." A grim gaze appeared on the face of the handsome young man, and the two cold lights were fleeting, and there was still a bit of flamboyance and excitement on his face: "Fire Flow Armor!" β
Buzzing......
In the calm air, the surrounding fire elemental moved, like a river flowing around the handsome young man. You can clearly see that the handsome young man's chest has a bright purple light magic formation.
The scorching flames formed a flowing set of red armor around it, with a forward horn on both shoulders and elbows, and a helmet covering the forehead like a giant wolf.
It seems that the battle armor composed of flames is very terrifying, but in fact, there is no warmth for the handsome young man who controls the battle armor, but he feels that there is a feeling of being very comfortable around him.
He let out a low roar of relief, looked at Hydeyin in front of him with a smug and cheerful look, and laughed disdainfully: "Haha, do you really think that I will lose to you?" Incompetent waste, now that's my real strength. Look at the move, flame slash! β
The handsome boy was assisted by the flame armor, and the defense of his whole body suddenly increased to a higher level, and with the abundant fire element that could be manipulated, the attack power of the handsome boy rose in a geometric way, and there was no existence in the junior alchemist who could beat him or even defeat him.
Rumble! Rumble!
Two thick flame slashes came in response, forming a huge formation in mid-air!
Heideyin's expression changed, his eyes showed a bit of anger, and he gritted his teeth and kept retreating.
He knew that the alchemist who could portray the elemental armor was the only one in the whole of Smokescreen Town, the father of the handsome boy, Owen. Unexpectedly, Owen, who has always been a gentleman, actually blessed his son with a magic array in order not to let himself win.
He knew that no matter how much he hated Owen, he loved Ivy so much, and he had to win this competition, and he had to win the beauty to make Ivy marry him.
Chop!
Hedin held the golden sword and moved forward a block.
The flame blade attacked the sword three meters away, as if it had encountered an invisible wall. But it didn't last long, and two flame blades pierced through the barrier, blasting and burning Heidein's chest. The leather armor, which seemed to be somewhat powerful, had no effect, and the middle of his chest was burned into a notch by the flames. It's dark inside.
The pain was so painful that it was as if an ant was gnawing at its own soul. The taste was not overwhelming, and someone was holding a machete and slowly cutting off his own skin.
Heidein's vision became blurry, and her consciousness gradually dissipated.
Am I going to lose?
Did you really lose?
The idea popped into Heidein's head. The two eyes were also dull in a moment, without any bright brilliance.
The corners of his mouth remained lightly pursed, and a stream of scarlet blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Heidein!
Standing outside the arena, Ivy saw Heidein fall to the ground, her pretty face showing deep worry, and her whole body trembled from excessive tension.
All of a sudden, his fingers and face were frighteningly white, as white as winter snow.
She turned her head angrily, her eyes filled with flames, and her features were faintly hideous.
He pointed his hands forward and asked with a question that could not be ignored, "Father." Why are you doing this? Why do you want to bless the magic circle on your brother's chest? Didn't you tell them to go head-to-head? You're doing this behind your back, are you really my father who always maintains aristocratic manners? Do you think you're right...... Bastard, you big bastard. β
Speaking of the back, two lines of tears burst out of Ivy's eyes, along the pale face, slowly declining, and falling to the lipstick-smeared cherry lips.
The tears are a little salty, and more bitter!
Ivy cried so much that her face was pale. His face was full of bitter pain, and his voice was choked with a hint of choking.
Owen sat in his seat, always looking straight ahead, his hands on the armrests and ignoring anyone. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he turned his head to see Ivy's crazy expression. sighed: "You are my Owen's child, destined to have no love of your own, you were born to lay the foundation for the continuous development of the family." If not your face. I won't even allow this fight, to put it bluntly. I'm just giving you face, otherwise you'd think Hedeyn would have become a junior alchemist. Will I give him face? If you remember my father, sit down. Next year, I will help you find a good partner, there is a young master of the family in the royal capital who happens to take a fancy to you. β
"Father." Ivy shouted these two words bitterly, trembling violently with anger, and after saying two simple words, her legs went limp, and the whole person fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
With a bit of self-deprecation, she said with a sarcastic smile: "Hehe, in your eyes, I am just a tool for the family to advance, maybe you don't regard me as your daughter at all." It's really a little ridiculous, is it so important that the family is strong? Can't you get it with the power of the family itself? Isn't it possible to gain strength with both hands as long as you work hard? β
"Do you really think that's going to be successful? You're naΓ―ve, no matter what, you're going to live up to your fair value, and I'm not going to change that. β
"You're too ruthless, Owen." Ivy gritted her teeth and stared at Owen in front of her in resentment.
"I'll only allow you to do it today, and if you call me by my name in the future, I'll slowly beat you until you agree. Now come back to the manor with me. Owen grimaced and stood up directly.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
Behind them, a row of silver-and-white warriors stood up neatly, holding sharp spears in their hands and slowly walking towards the carriage. They didn't like Owen's way, but it was a high-ranking viscount's family affair and had nothing to do with them.
Bang!
Just when everyone felt sorry for Hydeinn and angry for Owen at the same time, a blue electric light crossed an arc and fell not far from Owen, exploding a deep pit the size of a bowl.
Owen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body suddenly released a deep killing intent, and when several soldiers who approached were enveloped by this killing intent, their legs weakened, and they fell to the ground in fear.
There was a deep fear on their faces, and they bit their lips with both hands, not daring to scream.
When Owen turned his head and looked directly at the stubborn figure of the battle platform, his gaze was gloomy, like a beast staring directly at his prey, glowing with a cold cold light.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, "What do you want to do?" β
Heidein's legs trembled weakly, his body was like a small grass in the wind and rain, and it seemed that he would soon fall down because of his lack of strength, but he just didn't fall down as everyone thought.
He smiled wryly and said with a determined look in his eyes: "Lord Owen, I just want one question, what kind of alchemist do you want to satisfy your appetite, a mid-level top alchemist or a high-level alchemist?" β
"Oh? You know what I'm thinking, hehe. If you had known all this, I don't think you would have had to endure all this. If you want to know, be your civilian alchemist. Finding a woman on your terms is not a difficult task. But I didn't expect you to find my daughter. All I can say is that you are too naΓ―ve to think that you will be able to break into the nobles' house in this way. β
Owen glanced at Heydein meaningfully again. With a movement of his fingers, he suddenly fainted the surprised Ivy behind him. Holding her on the shoulder, he slowly stepped onto the carriage. Before leaving, he didn't seem to care about Heidein's questioning.
But he knew a truth in his heart, if possible, he must kill Hedeyin, otherwise he will be a big threat in the future.
Walk!
Owen sat in the carriage seat and shouted to the trembling coachman in front of him.
The coachman shuddered, waved his whip forward, and rushed forward with a white stream of air from the carriage.
On the battle stage.
The handsome young man dissipated the blazing flame armor on his body, with contempt and ridicule on his face, touched the sharp knife in his hand and said with a smile: "You think you asked about that kind of identity. Can you do it? You're so naΓ―ve, your shit luck can only lead you from a commoner to an early alchemist, but you can only get there for the rest of your life. If you can be promoted again, I can kneel down and call you grandpa three times, but unfortunately this is impossible. β
"Really? Then I can take a good shower in the future, stand in front of you cleanly and call me a few grandpa, hehe. With injuries on her face, Heideyin laughed miserably. Although the large chunk of charred skin on his chest smelled of mush, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. The mid-length black hair was even more disheveled, as if he had crawled out of a beggar's camp. But he still stood in front of him, unyielding.
A hint of annoyance flashed across the handsome young man's smug face, and his eyes were cold. Yin smiled and said, "If you don't give you a little color, you really don't put me in your eyes." β
He strode forward and kicked him hard.
In the face of an ordinary blow, if it were put in normal time, Heidein could easily dodge. But now it's barely enough to stand. Only the sound of a plop was heard, and Heidein fell to his knees. A stream of blood splattered from his forehead.
The handsome young man laughed proudly: "I made you cheap, but your mother will talk to me again." See, only I can make you kneel in front of me, you are like me? That's completely impossible. From today onwards, I will meet you and hit you one at a time. β
Hum!
After he kicked twice, he snorted coldly and walked away!
In fact, he really wanted to kill Heideyin, but it was a pity that many civilians in front of him were watching, and the kingdom had a special law to protect the relatively lacking profession of alchemists.
When he was finally there, a flood of comments erupted around the silent and oppressive stage.
"It's miserable, those nobles are really hateful."
"This is a society of strong and weak, what do you think can be done? I think Heideyn is really, and it is too delusional to want to marry a noble lady like Ivy without the ability. β
"You think so? I also have a point that the nobility is something we cannot afford, although Heideyn has become a scarce profession of alchemist, after all, it is only the lowest. β
"If he goes to join the army, it will only take ten years for him to become a baron. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to be promoted again in my life. Even then, he couldn't marry Ivy. β
β¦β¦
The surrounding voices were chaotic, but Heidein was not in the mood to listen, and his eyes were getting darker and darker.
Bang!
Hedin closed her eyes, and it was pitch black.
The surrounding civilians saw Hedeyin like this, and some of the women who wanted to help were stopped by their own men, and their eyes were fierce to stop them.
They knew very well that Owen's cold eyes just now and the gaze of Young Master Hans were that if they knew about the matter of himself and others helping Heidein, they would probably end miserably.
Although they sympathize with Heidein, their own lives are the most important thing.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go back."
"Hedeyn is an alchemist, and you can't die from such a disease."
The civilians left indifferently, and no one felt guilty that they had not saved Heidein. In their opinion, they did not owe anything to Ghydein.
I don't know how long it has been, but it has been raining lightly in the sky. The cold rain hit Heidein's bitter lips, wetting most of them.
He frowned, his fingers curling slightly.
Yes!
Hedwin let out a low cry of pain.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky had already become gloomy, and countless raindrops were hitting his face and clothes. You can hear the rustling of the rain.
A few gusts of wind blew in the distance, and the cold mixed with the rain made Heidein feel a little chilly. As an alchemist, even if the wound on his chest and mouth does not need to be treated, he can still recover automatically.
Heideyin stood up in pain, stretched out a hand and stroked his chest, only to feel a cold pain in his heart, as if he had lost his soul.
"Ivy, Ivy, Ivy......" Hedwin muttered softly, a look of grief on her face.
Rumble!
A flash of silver lightning flashed, illuminating the gloomy sky, carrying with it the pale face of Hedeinn.
His originally confused eyes gradually became clearer, and he muttered, "Even if I don't have a chance now, as long as I can continue to become stronger and promoted, I can meet Ivy one day." Even if it's a robbery, Ivy will be snatched over. She loves me, and I love her, even if everyone around wants to break us apart, then use the power of his hand to shock them, so that everyone dare not speak. β
Heideyin, who had figured everything out, exuded a piercing momentum that was brighter than anyone else, and the sword momentum was like a sharp sword, giving people a sharp and dazzling feeling.
After understanding her goal, Heidein planned to go home after a brief treatment of her injuries. (To be continued......)
