Chapter 43: The Battle of Ice and Fire, the Exam...
Updated: 2014-01-19
After getting out of the car, the scene in front of me was no longer a graceful flower dance, but a small forest with fine branches, countless branches intertwined, and the powerful arms were piled with green leaves, covering the sky layer by layer. But it was never able to block the translucent rainbow in the distance, hanging down on the lakeside.
At this time, the sky was a little unclear whether it was hazy or clear, and the drunken sunlight cast a pale, and then it was cut by layers of dense leaves, leaving only speckled and fragmented shadows.
Blazing Tide hugged the bear cub and walked all the way down this narrow and secluded tree-lined path. Lin Feng used his arm to block the hanging thin branches and clear the way for her.
But Chi Xi looked disapproving, still twisting his head, ignoring Lin Feng.
"Everyone take a break here now, and when the mage Sayuri, who is in charge of this exam, arrives, we are arranging the next things."
After passing through the dense woods, Yi disbanded the group of exam reparers who were like headless flies. And tell them that this is the first bus of the Sky Island Academy today, and that there will be a second wave of people who will take the exam, and they will arrive here at 10 pm.
The wait is always long and boring. Blazing Tide, who has almost no friends, came to the lake alone, boredly stirring the sparkling water in the lake. Looking at the reflection in the lake, his cheeks were indeed as Bingxi said, and they were still faintly red. When you touch it with your hands, you can feel a sensation of heat reaching your fingertips.
"Damn stupid cat, it's all because of you!"
As she spoke, she picked up a small pebble from the side in a puff, and still worked hard in the lake. Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, blurring the reflection in the water.
"Stupid bear, don't play in the water." Lin Feng suddenly appeared behind her.
"Why, you don't want to take care of me!"
"You are a fire elemental, and the source of magic is not controlled. This place is foggy, which is already very bad for you, and I advise you not to absorb too much water. ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng grabbed her wrist and forcibly pulled her away from the lake.
"You, you let go of me!"
For some reason, at the moment when he was suddenly pulled by Lin Feng, Blazing Xi only felt that his face was even more red than before. Then he shook him off with all his might, and ran alone into the bushes beside him, where he hid himself.
"Damn, what evil did I fall for today!" Blazing Tide hid in the bushes and muttered to himself, deliberately not wanting Lin Feng to find him, let alone seeing his nasty face.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a pair of hands landed on Blazing Tide's shoulders.
And when it was too late, Blazing Xi lit a ball of fire without even thinking about it, and threw it at the person behind her who didn't even see her shadow clearly.
Hiss –
Due to the excessive humidity here, almost every leaf was mixed with dew and full humidity, and as Lin Feng expected, the geographical environment here had obviously affected the exertion of the source of the fiery magic power.
The blazing flames ignited only a few leaves before disappearing into a wisp of green smoke.
"Short-legged cat, do you have any brains, this kind of arson can easily cause trouble!"
Although Bingxi dodged her attack, she was obviously startled, and landed a punch on Blazing Tide's head, looking at the few charred leaves behind her, and reprimanded loudly.
"Hey, if it weren't for your rude poodle being unreasonable, he suddenly stood behind me and actually beat me!"
Blazing Tide turned around and found that Bingxi was standing behind him, and suddenly jumped three feet high, like a mechanical doll full of electricity, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Let's not talk about that, what are you doing hiding here alone?" Bingxi sat quietly against the trunk of the tree next to him, looked at Blazing Tide and asked.
"Nothing, can't you come here?"
"Not really, it's just that this small, secluded place has always been my own. You're not welcome at me! Bingxi shook his hair, looking arrogant.
……
With a gentle breeze, Windmill Town looks like there are peach blossoms that never end, and you can see all kinds of petals flying everywhere. In the small and hidden shade of the trees, Bingxi crossed her legs and sat quietly under the big tree, looking at the pale pink spots of light that emerged through the gaps in the leaves, like the fresh color of half of her hair, little by little, little by little covering her vision.
"Short-legged cat, today I will make an exception for you to stay on my territory for a while."
Bingxi closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
"Huh?"
Blazing Xi listened to her series of inexplicable words with a confused face, and sat down beside her with questions.
"Something isn't quite right with you today, is it because of that stupid cat?" After a moment of silence, Bingxi suddenly spoke.
"It's not, it's not," Blazing Tide said hesitantly.
"Is that because of Yi?"
Bingxi closed his eyes and blurted out as if it were as natural as air.
"It's not."
"Forget it, you don't want to say that I'm not reluctant. But I advise you not to take these things too seriously, that cat has never been something you can control. And Yi, I advise you not to hit his attention. ”
As he spoke, Bingxi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the blazing tide on the side.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Blazing tide and her eyes are opposite, the fiery red eyes and ice blue pupils are like two forces that can never be blended, destined to look at each other incompatible. But no one wants to take the lead in retracting their gaze, and they must see each other thoroughly before they give up.
"Short-legged cat, don't look at me like that." After staring for a long time, the sound of Bingxi came out indifferently, breaking the silence of the seemingly imminent gunsmoke.
"Why, are you scared?"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, which had been quiet and silent. This was followed by the sound of Yi shouting loudly for assembly.
"Let's go, short-legged cat, the break is over." With that, Bingxi got up and took the lead out of the small green bushes.
At the edge of the Rainbow Island, Sayuri's face turned green, and she stood languidly on the edge of the lake like a balloon that had just been deflated. It was as if a gust of wind would easily drop her into the lake, dancing with the petals.
Yi stood beside her, carrying Sayuri's arm as a fulcrum to prevent her from actually accidentally falling into the lake.
The content of this exam is to draw lots and divide the people who draw the corresponding magic runes into a group, and test the growth of the magic in the body after entering the school in a battle mode, and what is lacking.
This time, the college selected five students from Group A to be the opponents of other students in this promotion exam. If the number of people is insufficient, it will be replaced by the student's own exclusive magic envoy.
Blazing Tide nodded as he listened, and then went to the prepared lottery box and touched his corresponding talisman brand.
"Hyun Twenty-One" Blazing Tide looked at the talisman in his hand and muttered to himself. Apparently she didn't quite understand what was written on it.
"People are born with bad luck." Lin Feng glanced down at the brand that Blazing Xi got, frowned slightly, and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Hyun means that your opponent will be a water-type magician. With your current abilities, do you think you have a chance of winning? ”
“…… No, that's okay! It's not like I haven't dealt with water-based magic envoys. Blazing Tide was stunned for a moment, and then smiled recklessly, to hide his heart.
As he was talking, he saw Bingxi slowly walking in front of Blazing Tide from a distance.
"Short-legged cat, I won't show mercy~" She smiled slightly as she faced the blue water.
"You?"
"Hyun Twenty-Two." Bingxi took the talisman in his hand, shook it in front of Blazing Tide's eyes, and then walked towards the lake with confidence. Go and prepare for the Battle Enchantment.
Because only one person participated in Class F of the promotion exam, I started with the class with the smallest number of students. The duration of the exam is twenty minutes, and there are no winners or losers. Whether or not you pass the exam and are successfully promoted to the class is evaluated by the Magister as a whole, and then it will be announced separately after returning to the academy after sorting it out.
And the people who came to take this promotion exam also snickered, ready to see what kind of ugliness the famous stupid bear demon envoy of class F would make and looked forward to it with great interest.
After the barrier was laid out, Bingxi stood on the shore of the lake, and with a light leap, he was the first to enter the translucent barrier like a gauze net.
Before leaving, Lin Feng whispered in her ear: "Don't panic, the main source of her magic is ice, and the degree of restraint against you will not be very high, just pay attention to precautions." ”
Blazing Tide nodded, then stepped into the barrier.
Inside the barrier, Blazing Tide saw something completely different from the outside. Outside, the visual senses are blurred and visible like a gauze, but inside, it is like a glass that has been dissatisfied with the thick fog, and there is no scene outside in sight.
But fortunately, the barrier somewhat blocked the moisture emitted from the middle of some of the lakes, which also happened to make it easier for the source of the fiery mana to be condensed without being affected by the terrain.
"Short-legged cat, don't look around, it's about to start!" Bingxi smiled and glanced up at the top of the barrier.
At the top of the barrier, a huge black digital clock was beating the numbers on it, making the final countdown to the start of the battle.
Blazing Tide watched the minutes tick by, and she placed Toris on the ground, and the source of magic began to condense in her body.
Donoris on the ground was gradually given life, her soft limbs became hard, and she stood up from the ground with a little difficulty. At the same time, it also emits a 'creaking' sound like an old wooden door that has not been lubricated for a long time.
Five, four, three, two, one......
After the last few seconds of countdown, the number finally turned to zero on the huge clock above the barrier. The barrier suddenly turned from a translucent light blue to a scarlet in an instant! It was as if someone had splashed a cup of bright red plasma from top to bottom, staining the original clarity in front of him.
The ice tide was sharp, and I saw that the ground was already covered with a layer of fine broken ice, like the ice that had just condensed in early winter, and it was torn apart.
But every exposed ice blade looked so sharp and cold......
