Volume 7 Alliance Contest Chapter 185 Mage vs. Assassin
Although the team of Lingfeng Academy lost the first game, their morale was not affected in the slightest, because Li Xiang was the weakest person among the twenty people in their team, and they knew that Yakos was the strongest person in their team, so although Li Xiang lost, he could provide very valuable combat experience to the people behind him.
Li Xiang's good brother Han Dong comforted him and said that it was okay, and he would avenge him in the next game and teach that guy a good lesson. Li Xiang nodded, he knew that this good brother of mine would definitely be able to defeat Yakos.
The audience was not optimistic because they lost the first game, and there were 19 more games to come, which was enough for them to enjoy.
The second game of the morning was also over quickly, it was the members of the Lingfeng Academy who won, in fact, it was not that the strength of this person on his side was too weak, it was just because he was not experienced enough in combat and did not understand the opponent's ability, so he was defeated.
After exiting, the players were also comforted, at this time they were already a complete team, and they would cheer for victory and encourage for defeat.
After the end of the morning game, the people in the audience began to leave, the time at this time is about eleven o'clock, noon is the rest time, the afternoon game starts at two o'clock, there will be five games in the afternoon, so the morning can only be regarded as a warm-up, the teams on both sides are currently 1 to 1, and the afternoon is the real wonderful competition.
The first match of the afternoon was against Aruna, who was also a girl.
Sylvia didn't know where to get a copy of this girl's profile and handed it to Aruna, who opened the profile and looked at the information on it.
The girl's name is Lin Mengxi, and her cultivation level is the same as her, which is seven-star, but her ability is indeed a little special, and Aruna sees that Lin Mengxi's introduction is an assassin.
Aruna thought to herself, the assassin's words are indeed not easy to deal with, because it means that the opponent's speed is at least absolutely top-notch, and the attack method must be unpredictable.
During the competition, the food and accommodation of the team of the Endiron Academy of Magic were arranged by special personnel, and at this time, Xia Jingyan and his party were taken to a specific place.
The dΓ©cor was luxurious, not inferior to some of the high-end restaurants in Endirion, and the hall was already filled with all kinds of food, and the official who brought them here told Sylvia that the food was to be enjoyed to her heart's content, and then left.
The students were naturally quite excited after hearing this, and they all began to eat unceremoniously, after all, if you don't eat for nothing, you can't eat for nothing, how can there be a reason to refuse such a good thing.
There is a variety of delicious food available, so just eat it open, let it go. However, Sylvia reminded Aruna not to eat too much, otherwise it would affect her performance in the first game in the afternoon.
Aruna naturally knew this, and hurriedly responded.
After about an hour of eating, the students had all had eaten and drunk, and they returned to the arena lounge together. There were still nearly two hours before the start of the game, but there were already people waiting in the audience, of course, to get a good seat.
In the afternoon game, the emperor of the Caesar Empire and the bishop of the Phantom Sect did not show up again, after all, they had other things to do, and they just showed up in the morning and walked through the motions.
For two hours, the crowd filled up one after another, and when the time came, the referee announced the start of the game.
Aruna and Lin Mengxi immediately entered, different from Aruna's softness, Lin Mengxi had a cold sense of beauty, the feeling that iceberg beauties were not approachable.
After the two girls bowed and saluted, the game officially began, but neither girl made the first move, they were looking for flaws in each other's breath.
Suddenly, Lin Mengxi's body flashed directly behind Aruna, and Aruna didn't react at all. In the next second, Lin Mengxi threw a sharp dagger directly at Aruna, and the dagger stabbed directly at the back of Aruna's neck, Aruna knew that the opponent's attack had arrived, and immediately released the water barrier behind her.
A large amount of water directly bounced the dagger thrown by Lin Mengxi, and then the water directly attacked Lin Mengxi, Lin Mengxi immediately turned around and easily dodged Aruna's attack.
In the face of an opponent of Lin Mengxi's speed, Aruna's attack method is indeed a little too slow, so Aruna may not be able to find a good offensive opportunity in a short period of time.
For Lin Mengxi, as long as the other party is close to him, then this victory belongs to him, and for the assassin, being close to the assassin means handing over his life.
In fact, the current venue is not for Lin Mengxi to fully exert her strength, because assassins often hide in the dark to assassinate.
Aruna summoned a water magic barrier, and then a large amount of liquid water poured out of this magic barrier, and in a short time, the entire arena was flooded with liquid water summoned by Aruna.
Lin Mengxi could only stand on the surface of the water by putting his fighting spirit under his feet, but in such an environment, his speed would undoubtedly be affected. Lin Mengxi looked coldly at the magician in front of her and felt that she had a bit of brains, but this kind of behavior was of little use to her.
Then Lin Mengxi threw a dagger directly at Aruna, but what made Aruna feel strange was that the dagger's attack seemed to be very casual, and Aruna didn't even need to dodge it deliberately, as long as she turned slightly to the side, she could dodge it. However, just after Aruna turned her head to dodge the dagger's attack, the dagger that flew behind Aruna suddenly became Lin Mengxi, no, it should be said that Lin Mengxi and this dagger switched positions.
When Lin Mengxi appeared behind Aruna, she immediately stabbed Aruna in the neck.
Aruna was shocked, she really didn't expect that the opponent still had such an ability, Aruna hurriedly dodged to the side, but her speed was not comparable to the other party after all, Lin Mengxi's dagger was about to pierce into her neck, Aruna immediately elementalized her body, Aruna turned into a water element to avoid the other party's fatal blow, Aruna immediately pulled away from her after dodging Lin Mengxi's blow, and showed herself in a distant place.
And Lin Mengxi didn't show surprise after seeing Aruna use this ability, because she had long known about the magician's ability, but Lin Mengxi was not worried that her attack method would be invalid after facing the other party's ability, because she knew that using Aruna's current strength to use the elementalized ability would consume a lot of mana. If it weren't for the attack she had just given her no way to dodge, then she wouldn't have used her elementalized ability at all.
Aruna looked at Lin Mengxi, her own action just now directly consumed half of her magic power, if she was so close to the other party, she would lose.
Aruna then unleashed a magical barrier around her body, in which whenever an attack came close to her, the barrier would immediately use the water elemental to fight back.
Aruna manipulated the surrounding water elements and began to attack Lin Mengxi on a large scale. And when Lin Mengxi faced Aruna's attack methods, he could only keep dodging, after all, if he was swallowed by these water elements, he would have no way to escape.
However, Lin Mengxi's speed was too agile, and Aruna's water element couldn't capture Lin Mengxi's way of action at all, even if she wanted to catch Lin Mengxi, she would use the teleportation technique to swap the position of the dagger, and escape again.
Under such an attack, Aruna's magic power was also rapidly depleted, and Aruna knew that her current attack was meaningless, so Aruna stopped attacking.
Seeing that Aruna stopped attacking, Lin Mengxi sneered and looked at the other party, she knew that Aruna had reached the end of her rope.
Lin Mengxi threw dozens of daggers at Aruna, and when the dagger approached Aruna, the magic enchantment she had summoned before began to exert its effect, and a large amount of water elements directly washed away these daggers, but in the next second, Aruna was stupid, because the positions of these dozens of daggers that were bounced off, each of which could be swapped with Lin Mengxi.
And Lin Mengxi's next attack was as fierce as a storm, more daggers attacked Aruna, and Aruna didn't have so much energy to deal with attacks from all directions, and Aruna was already injured.
Just as Aruna was tired of coping, a dagger was directly pressed against Aruna's neck. Aruna knew she had lost, and if it wasn't a game, she would be a corpse at this point.
After the referee announced the result, the two girls shook hands and left the court. All of the water elementals summoned by Aruna were also withdrawn into the magical enchantment.
After exiting, Arcos hurriedly ran to Aruna's side to help her, and then took Aruna to the medical team for treatment, but fortunately, it was all skin trauma.
Although Lin Mengxi has a cold appearance, as an assassin killer, she must have a cold heart, but she is also measured when she is in the game, and she does not directly end the other party's life, because that would mean provoking a war between the two countries, which is unbearable for students like them no matter what.
After a short intermission, the next match soon began, this time with Leo on the field from their Academy of Magic, and his opponent was a heavy fighter.
He was a burly man, not at all like he looked like he was at this age, and his attack was pure and extreme strength.
But after facing Leo, Leo didn't give the other party a chance to get close to him at all, and a few thunder magic directly stunned this big man without the slightest power to fight back.
It is estimated that this battle is the most aggrieved battle on the side of the warriors, not because Leo's opponent is not strong, if it is a hard-fought situation, I am afraid that none of the forty people participating in the game is his opponent, but the opponent of this battle, Leo, will not be stupid enough to fight with him.
The other three games in the afternoon ended in a decent way, so far, in today's seven games, the Academy of Magic won one game, and the current score is 4-3.
The next two days will be the next play-in tournament, and some really strong opponents have not yet entered today, so for the students of the Academy of Magic, tomorrow's battle is the key, because tomorrow's victory or defeat is likely to greatly open up the remaining numbers of the two sides.
After today's game, the team from the Academy of Magic returned to their previous quarters to rest.
The week's schedule is actually quite tight in terms of time, and the winning student will have to find time to study the next opponent in order to improve the chances of winning, after all, the opponent must also be studying the ability of their own side.
For example, Aruna's battle today is because she doesn't know that the other party has the ability to swap positions with her own weapons, so the battle suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
......
On Xintong's side, through the exploration of the Flower Spirit Spore Technique, he finally found the traces of Xintong's alchemy beast, and this alchemy beast was sleeping in the palace, as if it had been sealed.
After discussion, Ling Yan decided to use his method to investigate first.
There was no better way, everyone could only agree with Ling Yan's idea, and Ling Yan was not just taking risks, because he knew a secret passage in this palace. This secret passage was a secret from their childhood, as long as he and the current emperor knew about it.
But Ling Yan didn't know if this secret passage was still there, so he could only hold a prayer mentality. Late that night, after approaching the city wall outside the palace, Ling Yan opened an entrance from outside the city wall according to his childhood memories.
This secret passage was built by the Ling family before them, so the current royal family didn't know about it. It's just that when Ling Yan was playing with Long Haoyu when he was a child, he shared this secret with him, that is to say, now only the two of them know about this secret passage, and this passage leads directly to the emperor's bedroom.
After Ling Yan opened the secret passage, he cautiously advanced inside, but he found that the candle flame of this secret passage was still on, Ling Yan had some doubts in his heart, after so many years, these candles should have been extinguished long ago, could it be said that this place had been discovered?
With this in mind, Ling Yan cautiously probed forward, this secret passage was very long, running through most of the palace, and there were several forks in it that could lead to other different places.
According to his previous memory, Ling Yan found the passage directly to the dormitory.
Ling Yan knew that Long Haoyu was living there now, and he didn't know how he was doing now, if he still remembered himself.
Ling Yan's idea of deciding to meet Long Haoyu was a bit risky, because Ling Yan was not sure what Long Haoyu had become, and he didn't know if he had been brainwashed by the Phantom Demon Sect.
But Ling Yan still decided to give it a try, if he won the bet, then the next thing would be much easier, and he didn't even need to take any more risks.
After Ling Yan walked through this passage for about half an hour, he finally came to a door.
Ling Yan stood in front of this door in a daze, this was the most familiar place in his memory, behind this door, there were too many memories of his childhood.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Ling Yan still opened the door, but what Ling Yan didn't expect was that Long Haoyu was standing behind this door.
Ling Yan looked at Long Haoyu in a daze, he couldn't believe that all this in front of him was true, he couldn't say a word.
Long Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "It's been a long time, brother. β
"You know I'm going to be here?"
"yes, I guessed it. Long Haoyu took Ling Yan's hand and greeted him.
Ling Yan looked at the surrounding environment, this place had changed a lot compared to before.
"How did you guess?" Ling Yan asked, but at this time he already knew that the emperor in front of him was still the guy he knew before, and he hadn't changed at all.
"Since the last time you appeared in Lingfeng City, I knew that you would come back sooner or later, and knowing that this time the Alliance Competition, I thought you would come back, so I waited for you here. Long Haoyu explained.
"You're still the same as before, nothing has changed. β
"Hey, what can I change now? It's so sad that I've been completely controlled by the Phantom Demon Cult and reduced to a puppet. When Long Haoyu said this, he was full of sadness, helplessness and anger.
"Don't be pessimistic, I believe there will be a way out. Ling Yan said with relief.
"Then will you come to help me?" Long Haoyu asked as he looked at Ling Yan.
"Of course I'll help you, but not now, because I don't have the strength right now. Ling Yan replied seriously.
"I also know what happened to you, and I'm sorry. β
"All of this is the evil of the Illusion Cult, they are our common enemy. Ling Yan said angrily.
The two young men who hadn't seen each other for a long time had talked a lot this night, and it wasn't until dawn that Ling Yan left the secret passage, but the families of the two enemies had already established a connection at this time, and they were about to overthrow the rule of the Phantom Demon Sect.
