Chapter 101: Competition
The originally good mood was messed up by Lilian, Mu Yi didn't have the heart to watch the game anymore, and felt rude when he wanted to leave, so he had to sit in the chair in a daze.
Lilian is in a very good mood, the people of the Western Continent are optimistic by nature, and Mu Yi promised to help her deal with Charles, she had already thrown the unhappiness just now out of the clouds, and muttered to Mu Yi on the side about the game situation off the field, annoying him and just wanted to hit the wall.
"If I knew that, I shouldn't have gone out today. Lilian was even more annoyed than the Archduke and his son-in-law, and she brought me here as a backdrop, which was a loss. Mu Yi thought sadly, it seems that he will have to look at the yellow calendar before going out in the future.
"Look, look at it, there's Brother Markiff from the Solo Empire and Brother Delong from the Downs Empire fighting. Uncle Wood told me that this game is the most exciting!" Lilian said excitedly, not noticing that Mu Yi was not interested at all.
"Markieff and Delon?" Mu Yi suddenly thought of the quarrel between Grand Duke Ross and Luo Tian in the morning, these two names were mentioned by them countless times, and they kept drilling into Mu Yi's ears, and they couldn't forget it.
"I don't know who of these two misers will lose. Thinking of this, Mu Yi perked up, he didn't want to see the jokes of the two, he just didn't find a fun refreshment, he couldn't eat today.
The two of them stared intently at the ring that was about to start, and the referee on the field was none other than Wood, the dean of the Earth Department of Wuling Academy, and the contestants on both sides also came on the field, waiting for the referee to start the gesture.
The contestant wearing the black costume of the Solo Empire is an old man in his fifties, his hair is gray and black, he uses a blue-green twig to tie his hair on the top of his head, his face is ruddy and shiny, he is well maintained, he is tall and thin, holding an emerald green bamboo stick in his hand, and the top is inlaid with a cyan jade.
His opponent was dressed in a fiery red robe, embroidered with the four big characters of the Tang Dynasty Empire on his chest, his red hair was scattered over his shoulders, he had a big nose and small eyes, his appearance was very ugly, his body was short, and his limbs were quite thick. Although his cultivation was only in the middle stage of spiritual void, there was no fear on his face, and the staff in his hand was burning with raging flames.
Standing in the middle, Wood's right hand reached forward, looked left and right, and then slid down sharply. When the opponents on both sides got the signal, they quickly put their long canes in their hands to their chests and looked at each other vigilantly.
DeLong was the first to strike, he held the staff in his right hand, drew a circle, and a fireball jumped out of the fire staff, heading straight for the opponent's façade.
Markieff was unhurried, and with a tap of the bamboo cane, many branches and leaves grew on it, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a green shield. The fireball hit the shield and quickly extinguished. However, the branches and leaves on the shield have been burned off a lot, and it looks a little tattered.
This is just a tentative trick to observe the opponent's aura cultivation and tricks. Although the Qi Observation Technique can roughly see the level of cultivation of the other party, the strength of the specific aura cannot be seen. The same level is also divided into three small realms, and there is a big gap between them. It's just that Mu Yi's cultivation method is too weird, and he hasn't paid attention to these details.
Delong didn't succeed in a move, he quickly changed his move, stretched his right leg forward, and the fire staff drew a large semicircle from left to right, and in an instant, a raging fire ignited on the ground, and quickly extended forward, enveloping the opponent in a sea of fire.
Markieff's bamboo cane touched the ground, and many vines immediately grew around him, growing higher and higher, and wrapped him tightly in it, although the vine branches and leaves outside were crackled and burned a lot, but the vines continued to grow, and soon filled the gap.
Lilian whispered to Mu Yi, "It seems that this Brother Markieff's moves are biased towards defense." If you don't have some powerful means, even if you cultivate to a higher level, you will inevitably lose. ”
Mu Yi nodded, thinking deeply. Delon's moves are biased towards attack, fire and wood, and although Markieff has deep spiritual power, he will inevitably be beaten passively. Offense is the best defense, and blindly defending will inevitably end up staggering.
When he was almost tempted, Delon roared and strode towards the other party, and when he walked in front of the other party, his whole body was surrounded by flames, he handed the fire staff to his left hand, his right fist clenched, and struck the vine with a loud breath. The web of vines broke, and Markieff retreated, holding up the newly grown stakes under his feet to avoid being burned by the flames.
"Delon is good at melee attacks. Lillian exclaimed, "No wonder Uncle Wood said this game was good, it was so suspenseful." ”
Mu Yi was puzzled: "Aren't these Five Elements cultivators all from your academy?
Lilian watched the game intently, and said casually, "The Five Elements Academy is just to improve their spiritual power and teach basic spell use. When they reach the third level, which is what you call the Jindan stage, they can leave the academy and practice on their own. So the spells they are good at are all studied by themselves in the later stage. And these two have not appeared in previous games, which is why they are so interesting. ”
"Oh," Mu Yi suddenly realized, no wonder Grand Duke Rose and Luo Tian were so interested in these two people. The vast majority of the contestants have participated in many competitions of the Five Spirits Academy, and the tricks have basically been thoroughly studied. No one has ever seen these two new participants, so naturally everyone pays attention, and the stakes are higher.
When Mu Yi looked at the field again, Markieff's situation was already precarious. Behind Delon was a pair of flaming wings, chasing Markieff in the air. Although Markieff kept summoning vine branches and wood blocks to block it, he gradually became a little overwhelmed. Wooden things don't last long in the fire, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.
"The best moment came. Lilian said excitedly, her hands involuntarily grasping Mu Yi's left hand.
It was clearly the last minute on the field. DeLong beckoned, and the flames all over the ground began to contract, and finally formed an incomparably hot flame in front of him. He shouted as he threw his wings out of his back, darting down from the heights, ready to crush Markief's resistance with the supreme blow.
"It seems that Markieff is not going to do it. Mu Yi looked at the few rattan nets in front of him and made a secret judgment. The situation on the field seems to be developing with his predictions. DeLong's blow shattered and shattered Markeef's defenses with a slight touch.
"That's not right!" Mu Yi's pupils contracted, and the moment the vine net broke, Delong's attack passed directly through Markieff's body, shattering him instantly, how could the body of a mid-stage spiritual void powerhouse be so fragile.
Sure enough, at the moment when the Markieff in the rattan net was destroyed, another Markieff appeared behind Delon. With a tap of the bamboo cane in his hand, a huge log smashed into Delong. Delong in front of him used the old move, the inertia of the forward rush and the impact behind him, and tumbled and fell out of the ring.
"Good!" the crowd erupted in cheers, and of course there was no shortage of gamblers who had suppressed Delong cursing fiercely, including Luo Da Fat.
Mu Yi had been paying attention to the situation on the field, and it wasn't until the end of the game that he found Luo Tian's ball-like figure. Next to him, Grand Duke Ross danced with his hands and said something to him. Luo Tian looked annoyed, and couldn't help but smile at his father-in-law.
"How could there be two Markieffs, what's going on. Lillian exclaimed, still recovering from the shock of the game.
Mu Yi retracted his gaze at Luo Tian and explained softly: "The Markieff in the rattan net is an illusion simulated with wood. His true body had long since been hidden in the previous stake. When Delong's moves were exhausted, he unexpectedly attacked from the rear, and then turned defeat into victory. ”
"I see, you can see his moves. If you were to compete with him, you wouldn't lose!" Lillian smiled sweetly, full of adoration for him.
Mu Yi smiled and shook his head, he was hindsight, if he fought with Markieff for the first time, he would definitely suffer a loss from this trick.
After watching this game, Mu Yi was really a little tired, he had been with Lilian for so long, and it was not rude to say goodbye now.
Before he could speak, a hand appeared on his shoulder, Mu Yi looked up in surprise, and immediately sighed.
The person who came was none other than the haunting Prince Charles. He looked at Lilian holding Mu Yi's hand, and his face was extremely gloomy: "Take away your dirty hands, you don't deserve to touch my fiancée!." ”
Mu Yi shook his shoulders: "Please also take away your dirty hands, you don't deserve to touch my shoulder." ”
"Kind," Charles laughed angrily, "Uncle George said that you are pursuing Lillian?
Mu Yi was extremely uncomfortable to look down on, he shook off Charles's hand on his shoulder, got up and said, "You are mistaken, I am not from the Principality of Rus, I just accepted their benefits and helped them to play." As for Lillian, she chose me herself, and the reason for this is probably something you should know. ”
Lilian watched with interest as the two pit bulls refused to give in to each other, this was the first time she had seen this kind of fight for her. In the past, he was dragged as a shield, but all fled under the threat of Charles, and today they finally found a backbone.
The two looked at each other face to face, and they were very conspicuous in the stands. Mu Yi looked light and breezy, and his hands were very indifferent. Charles, on the other hand, was full of anger, his fists clenched, and he looked like he would strike at any moment.
"You two, there's something to go out of the field to solve. A majestic voice came. Mu Yi glanced sideways, it was Lilian's father, Dean George. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, sat down and continued to watch the game. Charles held back his anger and shouted in a low voice: "You have a kind, we'll see." Then he turned back to his place.
"Well done. Lilian secretly gave Mu Yi a thumbs up, smiling like a flower.
Mu Yi shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You are satisfied, I am in dire straits." ”
