St. Yao Academy.

Inside the arena.

Applause and cheers burst on.

And visibly, it became more and more enthusiastic.

Because the players on both sides of the red and blue sides entered the field at this time.

Lu Qingge on the red side, and Xia Yubing on the blue side.

At this time, they stepped into the dueling arena.

The same moment of entry for both sides.

The momentum in the audience on both sides actually seemed a little evenly matched.

On Xia Yubing's side, it mainly relies on its own popularity and fans.

And Lu Qingge is basically piled up by the number of people......

Because the number of people in the support system can be said to be much larger than that of the magic department.

After all, cultivating a good assistant is the same as cultivating a good mage.

The resources and time required for the two are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

So at the moment of debut.

The rest of the students who are not in the camp are just students who just want to enjoy a good game.

There are even a few points, and the strength of the two is an illusion.

However, the real situation is.

The absolute strength between the two is still too different.

Whether it's level, stats, or equipment......

The new students of this lv1 auxiliary system are all in a state of absolute crushing.

is such a freshman, but he passed all the way and reached the finals of the Freshman Cup......

It's so amazing and inspirational that it can be used as material for a graduation speech.

Under the excited cries of the audience, Lu Qingge walked up to the dueling stage and shook hands with Xia Yubing.

After the pre-match etiquette is over.

Lu Qingge could clearly see the latter, and it was as if he had changed into a different person.

The movements and manners of the whole person have changed.

Focused, serious, serious......

It was written on her face at once.

"That's why it looks gentle and kind in normal times."

"Is it the type that is extremely serious and unrelenting once you fight?"

Lu Qingge read silently in his heart.

Although before this, he had indeed seen Xia Yubing's combat power with his own eyes.

But in the 1V1 duel, it was the first time he and Xia Yubing had it.

Lu Qingge can feel it.

This duel is bound to be quite difficult.

"But that's fine."

"After all—"

"You can compete with respectable opponents."

"But it's one of life's great blessings."

Lu Qingge thought to herself.

……

[Ding!] ]

[Entering a duel......]

[Generating dueling arena......]

[Ding!] ]

[Dueling Arena: New Festival Island!] ]

[……]

The surrounding scene changed rapidly.

In an instant, Lu Qingge saw it.

He appeared on a small island.

As far as the eye can see, there is a blue sea that surrounds you.

The sea breeze was slightly salty and wet.

Above the island, there is a flat land.

But on top of it, there are many huge stone statues erected abruptly.

These stone statues are scattered around the island, forming a natural group of obstacles.

"Uh-huh......

"The terrain is a bit complicated......"

"But it's not entirely complicated......"....

Lu Qingge glanced around and quickly made a judgment.

The final will be in the form of a [Random Map].

This is slightly more beneficial to him.

After all, if it was a fight in an open place like the [Extreme Martial Arts Hall].

Once Xia Yubing threw out the spell of the large-scale frost fall that he had before, it would be very difficult for him to dodge.

After all, even the swift Assassin brother couldn't escape the disaster, let alone him?

But that being said.

The map of the New Festival Island does have some drawbacks.

For example, this place is also a little smaller than the [Gokudo Martial Arts Hall].

And this also means that the pulling space between the two sides of the duel will also become smaller.

[iii. ]

[ii. ] ]

[a. ]

[Duel begins!] ]

……

The moment when the countdown just ended.

The audience present ushered in an opening lightning strike.

Because Lu Qingge and Xia Yubing were surprisingly neat and made the same move.

- Buff.

Xia Yubing is chanting [Frost Armor], while Lu Qingge is chanting [Holy Sound Blessing]

That's right.

Buffing is something that most mages do at the beginning.

Although they don't add buffs as often as [Priests].

But there are always one or two core skills that can have a decisive impact on the outcome of the entire battle.

Therefore, there is nothing strange about such a thing as a BUFF skill.

The really strange point is actually that-

Lu Qingge is actually on the BUFF!

"Isn't he a swordsman? Why do you have a buff at the beginning?"

"That's right!"

"Shouldn't a normal person's way of playing be to take advantage of the mage's state to catch them off guard?"

「……」

In the perception of most players.

For a career in the Department of Physics at this stage.

Buff skills are not necessary.

And many mages, before they are in a full state, actually do not have too strong combat power.

So in just two minutes of battle, the first ten seconds of the game are very crucial.

Taking advantage of this time to exert greater attack pressure on the mage is the best strategy for swordsmen and warriors.

Therefore.

When this scene appeared, there was a low boo in the audience.

And the people who booed were basically some older students.

Senior students generally do not have a very high degree of freshman cup.

Ordinary fixtures, they basically don't have much leisure time to watch.

Only when it comes to the relatively large scene of the finals, they may take the time to watch the game and relax their nerves tense due to the pressure of graduation.

So people like them are seeing Lu Qingge for the first time.

And their first impression is.

This lv1 guy doesn't even know such basic dueling common sense?

At first glance, he is a real scumbag player!

I thought that the level of lv1 would surprise them, but I didn't expect it to be ...... at all.

I don't know how this junior got into the finals..........

……

After the [Blessing of the Holy Voice] was completed, the [Determination] in the Lu Qing singer once again ignited a faint golden light.

When he held it in the palm of his hand, Lu Qingge felt that his self-confidence had increased a little.

I have to say that the skill of [Blessing of the Holy Voice] is indeed very useful.

Because now he, although theoretically, can increase the level of weapons infinitely.

However, once the weapon is too high-level, he will not be able to control it with ease.

But with [the blessing of the Holy Voice], the situation is different.

After all, [Blessing of the Voice] only increases the value of the weapon, not their level.

"Come on."

The next moment.

Lu Qingge stepped on the [Shadow Step] and quickly rushed towards Xia Yubing.

The range of activities of [New Festival Island] is not large.

After bypassing the two stone statues, Lu Qingge easily came to the front of the mage girl.

Then, decisively draw the sword.

Boom!

A loud, crisp thud reverberated through the arena.

"...... this?"

Lu Qingge looked at it.

When he was still about three meters away from Xia Yubing.

A cluster of ice crystals that suddenly condensed from the air and rose from the ground blocked Lu Qingge's attack.

- Subtle and perfect defense.

Just like a shield, the hard ice crystal clusters suddenly unloaded all the impact of Lu Qingge.

The next moment-

BANG！

The cluster of ice crystals exploded violently and blew Lu Qingge away on the spot!
