Chapter 37: The Athletic Contest (I)

The effect of the Soul Snatcher Spell was not as useful as expected, and in the course of the Group H qualifiers, Shen Fangli discovered the weakness of this spell, which could only be launched at close range, and once she encountered a long-range attack class such as a Bow Spell Master and a Gun Spell Master, she seemed a little difficult to deal with.

The only match she lost was against a spell archer, who used an enhanced version of the Fire Arrow spell to shoot several arrows at Shen Fangli with her bow, which she was able to fend off, but thus lost her effective offensive position, and was ultimately judged to lose because she had more black spots on her clothes than her opponent.

Like the two ranged attack classes of the archer and the spear spellmaster, because the weapon itself has a strong lethality, they use special weapons in the competition, soft rubber bullets and soft rubber bows will not cause much damage to the human body, but as long as the user has great strength, it will make people suffer very painfully. When Shen Fangli was fighting against a spearman, she was hit by a soft rubber bullet in her lower abdomen, and she still had some slight pain until today's game was over.

Tomorrow is the official match day, Shen Fangli successfully advanced to the fourth place in Group H, this news certainly makes her happy, but she is also the lowest ranked of the four seeded players in the class, this gap makes her a little worried about the next game, if she can't find the tactics of cracking the archer and the gun spellmaster, she estimates that she will not go far in the official competition, and there is still a chance to lose once in the qualifiers, and when it comes to the official competition, she will be eliminated directly if she loses.

The spell attack of the spell mage is far above that of other professions, but most of the spell mages are congenitally weak in physical strength, so that the combat skills are weak, and other professions often take advantage of the weakness of the spell mage, and preemptively launch an attack to occupy the first hand to suppress, once the spell mage can not turn defense into offense, it is not far from failure.

Shen Fangli said her thoughts to the other three people present, the Xianyin sisters nodded in approval, Tang Xuancheng also analyzed the reasons for her failure with Shen Fangli, she took a sip of lemon juice and said: " In fact, the duel between me and Liu Yuhan, the strength of the two sides is not much different, but the sword spell master mostly uses combat skills as a means of active attack, while the spell master uses spells, and one of the strategies she uses is to defend my spells and guide me to use combat skills to fight against them, so that the innate disadvantages of the spell master are revealed, and then use her special combat skills to defeat me. ”

"There's still a long game ahead, so let's not be discouraged and keep working hard!" Duan Ruoxian said as he and his sister raised the glass of lemon juice at the same time, "I invite everyone to come tonight to celebrate, I wish all four seeded players in Class C of our spell department have passed the qualifiers, and when the official competition begins, we must also work hard, come on!"

The glasses in the hands of the four of them touched together, and Shen Fangli drank the lemon juice in the cup, her cheeks flushed slightly, she couldn't figure out whether it was the little alcohol in the lemon juice, or the place where the Xianyin sisters invited them to make her drunk.

No, it should be a reminiscence, Shen Fangli's first stage performance in the Snow Dove Restaurant allowed her to meet Lan Yifan, if it weren't for this benevolent female dean, she would definitely not have the opportunity to attend a prestigious school.

Since Shen Fangli was dismissed from the Aite Theater Troupe due to the gendarmerie inspection incident, she has never seen a trace of this troupe, and a few months have passed, when she reappears in the restaurant, the store manager still remembers her, but this time she is a customer, the store manager did not say anything, just greeted her coldly.

She smiled sarcastically at the restaurant manager, and until now Shen Fangli was haunted by being taken one by one.

After entering the restaurant, Shen Fangli and the restaurant manager sang and harmonized, so that the other three girls couldn't help but guess the relationship, after talking about the matter, the three of them discussed that Tang Tangtang would speak first, so Tang Qicheng pretended to be unintentional and looked at the restaurant manager who was wiping his wine glass in front of the counter and said: "The manager of the Snow Dove Restaurant seems to know you, what is going on?"

Shen Fangli pouted, and said quietly: "His name is Cao Yintian, not only a bad old man, but also a stubborn old man, if it weren't for him, I might have a chance to become a bard, but I really have to thank him, otherwise he drove me away that day, how could I make a few of you so good friends." ”

Seeing that Tang Xuancheng was still going to ask, Shen Fangli told the other three girls how she had gone from a troupe singer to a student of the Spell Academy.

"Wow, you're still a singer! Can you sing a song to us? Tang Xuancheng couldn't help but applaud.

"Forget it today, I'm tired, and I'll definitely sing my best song to you another day. Shen Fangli replied with a yawn.

"Why don't we wait until you win the competition, and then we will find a chance to listen to your song?" Duan Ruoyin took a piece of celery and handed it to Shen Fangli's bowl.

"How can you be sure that I will win the championship?" Shen Fangli returned a slice of celery to Duan Ruoyin.

"Because I see that you do have this potential. ”

A woman's voice came from behind them, and Shen Fangli turned her head to be pleasantly surprised to find Lan Yifan wearing the same clothes they had seen for the first time, sitting at a table for two not far from them.

"Dean, why are you here?"

"The Snow Dove Restaurant is a place I often come to, the food here is very good, but the manager is a little unpleasant. Lan Yifan raised the wine glass on the table and greeted them, "Congratulations to you all on successfully entering the official competition, it is really not easy to do this, I hope you will continue to work hard and strive for better results." ”

Sister Xianyin and Shen Fangli both said thank you, but Tang Xuancheng asked, she picked her chin: "Wait, how do you know that we have all passed the qualifiers?"

"Your homeroom teacher Yi Gong Kite told me that I have known her for a long time, just because wine is our common hobby. Lan Yifan put down the wine glass, intersected his fingers, and sighed, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet the students of the class taught by Yigong Kite again, when I worked with her, Class C of the Spell Department was considered the most ordinary class, and the students in the class were known as the "three no" students, but it was such a group of classless and boring classes that had no characteristics, no hobbies, and boredom but created a lot of miracles. ”

"Are you the legendary homeroom teacher?" Tang Xuantang's brain was running rapidly, she had heard that there was a legendary homeroom teacher in the C class of the spell department in 747 of the Yingxing Era, and under her guidance, the three students of the C class of the spell department, who were not favored, actually won the top three of the tenth competitive competition.

"Those are old things, don't mention it, and now I'm not a teacher. Lan Yifan waved his hand and sighed.

"I think you should tell us all your deeds, maybe we can learn from them, just like listening to stories. ”

Under Shen Fangli's strong request, Lan Yifan finally agreed, and she found a chair to sit among the four girls and tell her story.

In the story, Lan Yifan compares herself to a person who has no enthusiasm for teaching and no work demeanor, who knows how to play with students all day long, and she regards this kind of play as making friends with students, and she teaches students to look at problems with an optimistic nature, and to deal with problems not only by intuition, but also by experience.

In Shen Fangli's opinion, her intuition is okay, but her experience is not good. Lan Yifan's words were just some exhortations, and they didn't help them win the game. But they talked for a long time that night, and everyone was so happy that after a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits and close to their best competitive condition.

There was a second round of draw before the official tournament began, and this time the Xianyin sisters were not so lucky, their desire to play against each other was disappointed, and the two had to play against different opponents. Tang Xuancheng suddenly changed her luck, the opponent is the fourth place in Group F, the opponent is weak, I believe that it is not difficult to advance to the top 16, and Shen Fangli's luck is still ordinary, the opponent is the fourth place in Group D, the same ranking as her.

The tournament venue was crowded with people, and the number of people who came to watch the tournament was twice as large as yesterday, and since yesterday was only a qualifier, many students did not show much interest, but today's official competition was more exciting than the qualifiers.

As soon as he walked into the arena, Shen Fangli saw Ye Xuanlu sitting in the commentary seat, his mood was high, he was holding a microphone to build momentum for the scene, and the students cheered in unison with his commentary.

"Hello everyone, I'm your favorite fun-loving president, Hyunro-sama! Exciting times are coming, what could be more fun than a competitive tournament? ”

Ye Xuanlu's childish face always made Shen Fangli feel a sense of déjà vu, but she just couldn't recall it.

"Next, let me introduce you to the two sides of the first playoffs!"

Shen Fangli swallowed her saliva and nervously waited for Ye Xuanlu's announcement, beads of sweat ran down her cheeks, and she defended herself by saying that it was just a little crowded in the rest tent of the thirty-two players.

"Long Yanchu from Class D of the first-year gun spell department!"

A fat boy stood up from his seat, and as he passed in front of Shen Fangli, his gaze at her made her still feel sick.

The boy named Long Yan Chu walked into the ring and waved his hands to the students around him, causing a burst of boos, and some people even cheered.

Ye Xuanlu cleared his throat and continued, "There is also Shen Fangli from Class C of the first-year spell department!"

With a bang, Shen Fangli almost fell from her seat, her eyes widened and she was sure that she had heard correctly, and then she looked at the battle schedule posted on the wall, and was dumbfounded, she turned out to be the first battle, where is this ordinary sign, it is simply a sign.

Shen Fangli had no choice but to step into the ring with a disgraced face, and smiled awkwardly at everyone in the audience, she noticed that her appearance on the stage caused not only cheers in the audience, but also a burst of stumbling discussions, some people pointed at her, and some people were whispering abuse.

"It seems that although you are beautiful, you are even more unpopular than me!" Long Yanchu let out a piercing laugh and shouted to the students in the audience, "It's really funny that this Wai woman is going to participate in such a noble competition as ours, everyone knows that the Wai tribe is the lowest level of cultivation in the world, and the Wai women are even more sewing and weaving goods at home, but all the women of the Wai tribe are stunners with excellent figures, Uncle Ben likes it." ”

The students in Class D of the Spell Department immediately burst into a wild laugh, which attracted a burst of scolding from the students of Class C of the Spell Department, and the two sides were almost about to scuffle.

Shen Fangli's words stopped the students in the two classes who were almost out of control, and she shouted sternly: "You are not allowed to insult my people, I will use my strength to shut you up." ”

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly. Long Yanchu pretended to lean forward and leaned his ear and said, "You said you want to kiss me?" That's good, I'm so happy, if you're willing to kiss me, I'll admit defeat and let you win, how about it?"

Shen Fangli didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, as soon as the game bell rang, she summoned the Golden Can Staff with the Yuan Solution Technique, and then used two extremely high-quality thundering balls to attack the opponent.

To Shen Fangli's surprise, Long Yanchu didn't use combat skills or spells, he took out a magic gun from his waist and fired a soft rubber bullet directly at her, fortunately she dodged quickly, the soft rubber bullet slashed through her hair, but her thundering ball suddenly disappeared, what was going on?

So Shen Fangli used two more thundering balls to attack the opponent, but Long Yanchu still only shot soft rubber bullets, and her spell immediately became invalid, and looking at Long Yanchu's appearance, he didn't want to hurt her, his expression was like he was playing.

"It appeared, Long Yanchu's specialty combat skill sealing bullet, his tricks can be completely immune to a spell attack, he really deserves to be Long Yanchu's classmate, he can suppress the opponent in this way. ”

Listening to Ye Xuanlu's explanation, Shen Fangli suddenly thought that he did have a basic combat technique that could be immune to spells, this combat skill was called the Solid Technique, could it be that what he was using was the extension technique of the Solid Technique, this would be troublesome, to break this trick, he had to use a more powerful intermediate spell, but these spells had obviously not been learned as a first-year student.

Shen Fangli had no choice but to win quickly, she used a wind wing to increase her movement speed to avoid the attack of Long Yanchu's mana gun, she thought that Long Yanchu was slower due to obesity. She can use this to her advantage to suppress him.

But Shen Fangli was completely wrong, only to see Long Yanchu move in front of her with an arrow step, and then punched her heavily in the lower abdomen, directly knocking her down in the ring and rolling a few feet, almost rolling off the ring.

Some people in the audience were applauding, and some people were spitting for Long Yanchu's rudeness towards the girl, and the shouts and cheers surrounded Shen Fangli's ears, she didn't expect the other party to attack in this way, neither a combat skill, nor a spell, but a pure physical technique.

Just as Long Yanchu was about to pull the trigger on her, Shen Fangli quickly rolled to his feet, picked up his staff and shouted at him: "Lingyuan slash." ”

This is the incantation of the Spirit Snatching Spell, and I saw a blue light right in the middle of Long Yan Chu's body, and he immediately fell to his knees, unable to move.

Shen Fangli exerted all her energy to drain all of Long Yanchu's spiritual power, she thought that in this way, Long Yanchu would no longer have any spiritual power to attack her, and she would have a chance to win.

But she thought wrong again, Long Yanchu used all his strength to get rid of her control, and then kicked her in the abdomen again, kicking her to the ground, he stepped on Shen Fangli's hand and smiled proudly: "Do you think that you can defeat me by sucking all my spiritual power? ”

Shen Fangli's hand was in a piercing pain, but she didn't let go of it at all, she had to hold on to the golden staff, once the weapon left her hand, she would lose completely.

Long Yan first saw that Shen Fangli was still resisting, and the strength on his feet was even greater, he lowered his head and sneered: "I advise you to let me kiss it, I am willing to automatically admit defeat, why do you have to suffer such a crime?"

"Dead fatty, get your stinky feet away from Fangli quickly, and you are not allowed to touch my woman. ”

Shen Fangli followed the sound and saw Mu Yunxi in the audience yelling at Long Yanchu, if it wasn't for everyone pulling him, he would have rushed to the ring.

"Oh, is she your woman?, so what do you use to prove it?" the smile on Long Yanchu's face became even stronger.

"You ......"

"I don't need you to help, if you come up, you'll break the rules of the game, and I'll lose too. Mu Yunxi wanted to scold, but Shen Fangli shouted with all her might, "Believe it or not, I will win for you!"

"Stupid, what can you do at this time?"

Mu Yunxi scolded loudly, but at this time, Shen Fangli didn't seem to hear anything, her attention was all focused on the staff technique she had practiced before, and the staff method had sixteen attack methods, several of which must have the ability to break the enemy.

So she took advantage of Long Yanchu's inattention, and violently pushed away Long Yanchu's right foot with her left hand, and then rolled and stood up, and slammed her staff at Long Yanchu.

Long Yan Chu was obviously a little disturbed by this extremely rapid movement, he took a few steps back and hit Shen Fangli's staff, but Shen Fangli just wanted to use ordinary attacks to restrain his shooting, she dropped her staff to the ground again, and slammed Long Yanchu's feet. This hurt so much that Long Yan Chu screamed, he was completely enraged, and fired several shots at Shen Fangli.

Seeing this, Shen Fangli quickly turned the staff in front of him, blocking all of Long Yanchu's bullets, and then picked it up, knocking down the magic gun in Long Yanchu's hand, and finally slammed his knee, making Long Yanchu kneel down facing her.

As the bell rang, the referee announced Shen Fangli's victory, and while the referee raised her right hand, Long Yanchu, who was still kneeling on the ground, asked unwillingly.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Facing the lost Long Yan Chu, Shen Fangli smiled and said, "Basic Staff Method! ”

Shen Fangli stepped out of the ring, facing the cheers and celebrations of her classmates, Mu Yunxi wanted to step forward and hug her, but because of her words: "Stupid!", let his hands stay in mid-air.

"Hey, that's probably my line. Mu Yunxi pursed his mouth dissatisfied.
