Chapter 12: Dabi begins
"Friends, welcome to the Cangluan Arena, the annual university competition is about to begin! I am the host and referee of this competition. ”
Not long after Bai Yi and the others sat down, the host's voice came from outside.
"As in previous years, we are honored to invite five fourth-order mages from the five major sects to be the judges of this competition, they are: Elder Shen Ping from the White Sect, Elder Song He from the Tsing Yi Sect, Elder Yulan from the Snow Lotus Mansion, Elder Burning Bamboo from the Fire Flame Palace, and Elder Lin Zifeng from the Tianshan Courtyard. ”
On the highest platform in the arena, five elders from the five major sects sat on seats specially made for them, looking condescendingly at the ring in the center of the arena.
In front of them, two feet lowered, sat the emperor of the current Cangluan Empire.
After introducing the five elders, the moderator said again, "Without further ado, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor to announce the beginning of this great competition." ”
The pot-bellied Emperor stood up, turned around and gestured to the five people, then turned back to the audience and said, "I announce that this big competition has officially begun!"
Boom! Boom!
As the emperor's words fell, flames rose one after another on the outside of the arena, exploding in the sky, which was the most solemn way of celebration in the Cangluan Empire.
"All the bells and whistles. Magnolia, who was sitting in the middle, said with a frown. As the only woman among the five elders present, the other four elders also gave up the central throne to her very gentlemanly.
"Who's to say it's not?" Burning Bamboo also scoffed, "It's just a few kids fighting a few times, and it's a waste of my time to make it so formal." ”
"You can't say that, can you?" Song He defended him, "Emperor Cangluan's painting is mainly for us to see, although it is indeed a little simple, but it is also his intention. I'm afraid you're not so buried, right?"
"What's wrong with me? Do you say that he will lose a piece of meat? I really don't understand you, it's just a small place, even if it is attached to your Tsing Yi Gate, there is no need to maintain it like this, right?" Burning Bamboo glanced at Song He and said dissatisfied.
The Cangluan Empire is also one of the seven major empires on the mainland, and in the eyes of Song He, it can only be regarded as a small place. I wonder how he would feel if he was heard by Emperor Cangluan?
"Let's not say a word. Lin Zifeng interrupted the conversation of several people, "Take a good look at the game, I heard that there are a few good seedlings in the Cangluan Empire this year, if you don't notice that they have all been poached by me, you will cry." ”
"Dig them all up, what are you dreaming about! If there are really a few nice little guys, as long as he is a fire mage, then he must go with me!" Song He said scoldingly.
Lin Zifeng didn't say anything, turned his head away, and no longer paid attention to Song He.
Shen Ping has not participated in the discussion of the four people, I don't know if he can't interject, or if he really doesn't want to say a word.
"Next, according to the process, let me explain the process and rules of the competition for you. The host has been active on the stage, and the enthusiasm of everyone has begun to ignite, so the conversation changed to the main topic, "As in previous years, Dabi adopts a point system, and after the three rounds of competition, we will finalize this year's university rankings according to the points." ”
"Okay, then the first round of the individual competition will start right away. The host shook his hand, took out a list out of nowhere, looked at the information on the list, and said, "In the first round of the first round, Gao Wenbin of Luoxiao Academy will play against Zhang Fengxian of Changhe Academy. Participants are requested to arrive at the venue as soon as possible. ”
"Zhang Fengxian?" Zhang Tianlan, who was talking to Mu Yi, moved his ears.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhang Tianlan was actually attracted by a name, he was suddenly quite curious.
Zhang Tianlan looked in the direction of the ring, where a young man in blue was pacing towards the ring.
"Zhang Fengxian, the upper limit of magic element has reached nearly eight hundred and twenty a month ago, and this month's preparation estimates that he will definitely make a breakthrough. This kid's spiritual root is also the most slippery water attribute, and whoever faces him will have a headache. Zhang Tianlan said.
"Oh?" Seeing that Zhang Tianlan was so solemn, Mu Yi also became interested, "What about the other young man? Do you know his information?" Mu Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Wenbin, who was already standing on the stage.
"I haven't really heard of this person. Zhang Tianlan shook his head and said, "Although the water mage is not very aggressive, his ability to disgust people is really the first. If he doesn't have any special skills, it probably won't be long before he goes down in disgrace. ”
"Then let's wait and see, by the way, tell those little ones to watch the battle, maybe they will run into one of them later. ”
On the field, Gao Wenbin and Zhang Fengxian have already taken their places and are ready.
"Okay!" The referee didn't talk much nonsense, and directly announced the start of the game, "The first game, it's officially started!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge magic array appeared on the soles of Gao Wenbin's feet, and at the same time, I saw Gao Wenbin wave his hand and sprinkle seeds on the ground.
"Rapid growth!"
Poof!
As soon as the falling seeds touched the magic array, they immediately took root and sprouted, and grew at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, dozens of vines rose into the sky, carrying Gao Wenbin into the air.
"! This kid actually knows how to play such dirty routines at a young age?" Mu Yi looked at Gao Wenbin standing tall in the sky in amazement, and said, "Using plants to send yourself to the sky may not be a big problem for other mages, but there is nothing a water mage can do about him." ”
"Not bad. Zhang Tianlan nodded, "Water elemental magic only has the ability to strike at high altitudes when it reaches the fifth lord level, and this Gao Wenbin is afraid that he knows that Zhang Fengxian's level is higher than his own, so he adopted this method to make himself invincible from the beginning." ”
"There are really people who play like this?" Unlike Zhang Tianlan and Mu Yi's thoughts, Zhang Fengxian didn't feel much. Very early on, the teacher of the academy told him that among the low-level mages, the wood mages had a kind of magic that could suppress the water mages with their hands. In the past month, he has not increased his magic element limit, but has been studying how to crack this seemingly unsolvable routine.
"I'll just tell you, low-level water mages actually have a way to crack this situation, how to do it, I want you to study it yourself, it's time for me to see how your understanding is. ”
In my memory, I heard what the teacher had said to me again.
"Fortunately, you really used rapid growth, otherwise wouldn't my preparation for this month be in vain?" Zhang Fengxian sneered in his heart.
Whether it is the conversation between Zhang Tianlan and Mu Yi, or Zhang Fengxian's mental activity just now, it seems that a long time has passed, but in reality, it is actually only a few breaths. The rapid growth of Gao Wenbin's magic is not over yet, and the vines are still growing wildly.
"All plants used in wood elemental magic cannot be created out of thin air, and they need to be cast on plants or plant seeds. The so-called rapid growth is nothing more than using the magic array as a medium to increase the growth rate of plants by a hundred and ten times. The process of plant growth is to absorb water and minerals and react with light, which means that to perform this magic, your plant needs to absorb a lot of water. ”
Zhang Fengxian was talking to herself, while stretching out her hand, and a magic array appeared in her hand.
"If you want water, I'll give you water, as much as you want!"
"Poisoned water!"
Countless essence lights emanated from the magic array, and in the blink of an eye, they spread over most of the field.
"Poisonous water, this is a six-mang-level magic!How could this kid be able to perform it at the seven-level level!" Burning Bamboo said incredulously with round eyes.
"What's impossible about this. A smile appeared on Magnolia's face, as a fourth-level water mage, her comprehension of water elemental magic was not comparable to others.
"The level of magic is not an indication of how powerful it is, but the minimum required to perform it. As long as we use the power of the fourth level to cast the magic of the seventh level, the power exerted by it will never be worse than the magic of the fourth level. Yulan said, "And the most special thing about water magic is not that high-level mages can enhance the power of low-level magic, but that low-level mages, as long as they have enough talent, they can simplify high-level magic and cast a weakened version of high-level magic." ”
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of it. Burning Bamboo was surprised, and several other elders also expressed their curiosity.
The essence light in Zhang Fengxian's hand gradually diffused to the place where Gao Wenbin was, only to see Zhang Fengxian's palm clenched, the magic array suddenly erupted with a burst of intense light, and countless essence lights in the air suddenly exploded one after another, purple gas filled, and the air changed everywhere it went, gradually exuding a sense of corrosion.
"What do you look like when you're still cowering when fighting a water mage!
