In a bleak circle, frost rays flew in both directions.

The bitter cold spread out as the rays fell, condensing sharp crystals on the ground. The water vapor in the air was frozen, turning into flying ice powder, which scattered one after another.

Even the cold sweat on Ye Qingxuan's body was frozen, turning into a thin layer of frost. The cream adheres to the skin and melts back in the flow of blood......

Ye Qingxuan gasped and began to hate why the space within this circle was only a few dozen steps in size. Just heeding Charles' prompts, he was already preoccupied with dodging Edmund's frost rays.

The biggest disadvantage of the Frost Knot rune is that it decays so quickly that when applied in the form of rays, it is almost powerless after ten meters.

But now the distance between the two of them can't be stretched ten meters at all. Edmund only needed to stand in the center of the Snake Circle to pour frost rays in all directions without any pressure.

As an apprentice-level musician known as one of the most inexpensive notes, the Frost Ray consumes thirty percent less than the same rune, but the chanting speed is almost half as fast.

With Edmund's years of apprenticeship, there is no problem at all with twenty or so hairs in one go.

Ye Qingxuan could only seize the opportunity to dodge, dodge, and dodge again!

Brushing shoulders with a frost ray again, Ye Qingxuan reached out and crushed the ice cube frozen on his shoulder, trying his best to breathe. If it drags on like this, I'm afraid it will end badly.

He must admit that he underestimated this freckled dead fat man a little.

In the middle of the field, Edmund looked at Ye Qingxuan's embarrassed and dodgy appearance, and couldn't help but sneer: "What's the matter? Is it just a little bit of ability? Get closer, that 'chief student' over there! Why don't you even have the courage to fight back?"

Immediately afterwards, there were three more frost rays, which swayed out heroically!

Ye Qingxuan only had time to take off his coat and throw it in front of him, when he saw that his coat instantly hardened and froze and fell to the ground, making a dull sound like a stone falling to the ground.

"You want to drain me?"

Edmund seemed to see through Ye Qingxuan's thoughts, and laughed mockingly on his face: "It's not that simple. ”

He reached into his pocket and pulled a thumb-sized bottle out of his pocket, biting the cork open and pouring the azure liquid into his throat. The icy elixir ran down his throat and into his stomach, spreading like an explosion.

The intense cold irritation spreads throughout the body, and finally turns into a warm current and pours into the back of the brain.

Edmund's face, which had turned pale from frenzied consumption, instantly returned to its original state, full of abnormal excitement and blood. It is a drug that stimulates the brain, relying on the extraction of nutrients from other organs to make the brain excited.

If it is used by a scrawny person, it may cause a serious illness afterwards. But Edmund was covered in fat, and that thick layer of fat alone was enough to pay for his 'overdraft'.

Seeing Edmund taking the potion on the spot, the audience outside the stadium booed.

－

"Protest!"

Charles yelled, "Edmund takes a recovery potion!"

"Protests are ineffective. ”

Brian glanced at him lazily, "Potions, alchemy equipment, and chanting consumables are all part of the musician's own strength, and they are not forbidden to be used in duels. ”

Charles was indignant: "Damn, then next time do you want to make some mandalas and suck them in the dueling arena!

"Watch your words, or I'll send you out. ”

Brian pointed at Charles, and then pointed to his mouth: "I'm the teacher here, stay here, you have to follow my rules!"

Bai Xi sneered, and was about to sneer at each other, but someone pressed her and Charles's shoulders.

"Calm down. ”

The old man, who had been watching from the sidelines for some time, appeared behind them, the steel prosthetic leg smelling faintly of motor oil.

"Teacher?"

Charles was stunned: "When did you come?"

"From the beginning. Abraham said, "It's not like my students go out early in the morning to do the chief student challenge, and I don't know anything as a teacher, do I?"

Charles was a little embarrassed: "Am I not afraid that you will be worried?"

"Don't be impatient, no matter how loud the off-field commotion is, the duel is still ongoing. ”

Abraham patted Bai Xidi on the shoulder and motioned for her to sit down. Seeing that Xia Er was quietly making a secret call to Ye Qingxuan, he raised his palm and knocked on the head of his rogue student.

"No need. ”

He whispered, "The leaves won't look anymore." ”

Charles was stunned for a moment, and looked at the young man in the field. It wasn't until now that he realized that the young man's eyes had stopped paying attention to the code he had sent.

He was engrossed, looking at his enemies, and there was only their reflection in his eyes. The indifference and contemptuous pity in the pupils of the eyes were gone, replaced by heat, like a faint flame.

As if laughing, the corners of his mouth curled silently.

He began to give it his all.

Because to win, you have to win with dignity......

"It's suddenly becoming challenging. ”

He stared at Edmund's flushed face and whispered, "Then try it." ”

In the biting cold, he suddenly took a deep breath, and the feeling of being stinged by the cold came from his heart, and his mind became more awake than ever.

There is no need for the stimulation of drugs, and there is no need for long rests, an enemy is the best stimulant. A whetstone that could be used to put what he had learned for dozens of days into practice.

In the midst of dodging, Ye Qingxuan suddenly stood still, he raised his palm, and the ether converged from all directions, as if something was about to wake up.

In the midst of everyone's induction, the string ring coiled around Ye Qingxuan's fingertips swallowed the ether, releasing a cold silver light. The sleeping instruments are answering the call.

"Instrument! This guy ......"

Edmund's face froze, and he took a step back, ready for battle. He didn't expect that Ye Qingxuan's hole card turned out to be a musical instrument, and it was also the highest-level 'mimic transformation' style among musical instruments, which could be carried around and unfolded at any time!

But just as he was in the middle of the battle, the light on Ye Qingxuan's fingers suddenly went out.

There was a lot of thunder, but there was not even a drop of rain.

It just came to an abrupt end and fell back into a deep sleep.

Over the past few days, he had tried countless times to awaken the sleeping 'Nine Heavens Ring' in the string ring, but unfortunately, every time, at the end, the resonance between him and the Nine Heavens Ring would suddenly be interrupted.

It's like missing the most critical link, and it's hard to unfold it correctly.

"Uh...... Sure enough, it still doesn't work. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I just pretended to be a ......."

He was answered by several angry rays of frost that nearly froze him into ice. Ye Qingxuan ran wildly with his head in his hands, took a deep breath, and finally began to chant syllables.

"It's just starting at this time, it's useless!"

Edmund couldn't help but sneer when he heard the chanting.

He stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, Frost Ray!

In the chill that came to his face, Ye Qingxuan suddenly began to run, ignoring the surging breath in his chest, he chanted quickly as he moved. Around him, the air swelled, like mist churning with his chanting.

Edmund looked at the teenager who was rushing towards him, and his eyes flashed with disdain: the closer he was close, the less room there was to dodge. And the more powerful the frost ray, the greater!

Sure enough, I got carried away.

He raised his palm and pointed at Ye Qingxuan's body again, the light of the frost ray brewed wildly in his fingertips, and a piercing chill converged from all directions.

This time, the distance has never been closer. That icy color illuminated Ye Qingxuan's pupils.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan step within the range of five steps, the killing intent in Edmund's eyes flashed. Immediately after, a doubled frost ray burst out!

Within five steps, the original frost ray is enough to freeze and necrosis the organs. After being enhanced, the chill contained in it is enough to freeze a person into an ice sculpture in an instant!

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the crowd of spectators.

Because Ye Qingxuan is still stepping forward, not dodging or dodging!

The bursting ray flew forward, stabbing straight towards Ye Qingxuan's head.

At that moment, the air around Ye Qingxuan's body fluctuated strangely. It was as if the rays had touched some boundary, and the scene was flipped for a while.

Because the distorted air was disturbing irregularly, the outlines of Ye Qingxuan's limbs became blurred.

The frost ray pierced into a haze, and it suddenly swayed, almost absurdly deflected an angle, an extremely subtle angle, and flew by Ye Qingxuan's hair, shooting into the air!

Edmund was stunned, his pupils reflected Ye Qingxuan's face getting closer and closer, and there was a stunned and fear that could not be suppressed!

"What's going on!"

－

"-'Notes'!"

In the crowd, Abraham whispered, his eyes lit up, "That's right, that's it!"

Up to now, all the runes that Ye Qingxuan had learned had been selected by Abraham for him one by one for the application effect.

Light can provide light in the dark and guide the direction of the sun, 'flow' can strengthen the body and purify drinking water, and 'qi' can manipulate the breeze to block the smell of the body, hide from animal searches, and protect against poisonous gases.

And the effect of 'hazy' is to stealth and guard against long-range attacks!

It's a note that every musician who is trained to be a scout must master.

By agitating the air in the ether, the 'hazy' is able to instantly form an 'air barrier' on the object. The barrier does not have any defense, but under the control of the musician, it is able to create chaotic pressure inside.

The chaotic pressure creates a lens-like effect, with lenses constantly superimposed, causing light to refract irregularly and blur objects.

In dark environments and complex lighting, it blurs the edges and contours of objects, allowing them to blend in with the environment. While it does not have any defensive effect, it brings the ability to mislead arrows and deflect rays.

It doesn't get much better than that.

On the sidelines, Abraham stared intently at the boy who had passed by death, his eyes lit up with relief: yes, that's how it should be. By misleading the enemy, activate the effect of 'Hazy' in the last moment.

Immediately after that, it is time to close the distance again and ......

－

In the middle of the room, the boy crossed the five-step boundary and strode forward, the awkward syllables of his mouth overlapping, causing the aether around him to fluctuate.

With the chanting, in his mind, a swirling rune slowly lit up, ready to go!

Immediately after, in the next moment, Ye Qingxuan's footsteps had already fallen in front of Edmund.

Looking at his raised palm, Edmund subconsciously screamed, raised his arm to cover his face, and staggered back. A finger poked at Ye Qingxuan in a panic, ready to release the frost ray again.

The predictable fist did not fall on his body, and the notes recited by Ye Qingxuan were not 'flowing'. Now, they are so close that they are almost close. In Ye Qingxuan's mouth, the last syllable blurted out!

At that moment, Edmund was still subconsciously screaming, and the light of the frost ray was brewing in his hand. Immediately after, he felt a palm pressed against his chest, gently pressing against his chest.

Boom!

The screaming stopped abruptly.
