Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 37: Victory Arrives

  Watching Qian Hao's performance, Yue Cheng was secretly praising him. Although Qian Hao had lost, he hadn't lost his dignity. This kind of person will surely have a great future if nothing unexpected happens.

  The Yan family was overjoyed to see Yan Xiaoxi win the first round, and they quickly supported her back to the tent. Qian Hao was also helped back by the Qian family.

  Next, it was Yu Cheng's turn to take the stage. The people of the Yue family were all excited, especially Yue Zishan and Yue Zifeng, who knew that Yue Cheng had awakened the fighting spirit of the Yue family. Their original lack of hope for this five-family competition also changed, as the Yue family had not been in the limelight for a long time.

  "Be careful, brother," Su Xiner said, looking at Yue Cheng with a hint of tension in her eyes.

  "Don't worry." Yue Cheng gently patted Su Xiner's head, his heart also somewhat tense. A third-level water system magician was not easy to deal with.

  Yue Zishan patted Yue Cheng's shoulder, but didn't say a word. His eyes, however, held boundless expectations, even though he had never seen Yue Cheng make a move before.

  Yue Cheng walked slowly onto the stage, and Roger also came down at this time. As the host announced the start, both of their expressions became somewhat solemn.

  The two exchanged a courtesy, each taking several steps back. Yue Cheng's true energy began to circulate within his body, and a faint blue aura started to emanate from him. Roger's water-element magic also began to stir, enveloping his body in a thin layer of white mist.

  The scene was silent, with everyone staring at Yue Cheng and Luo Jie with wide eyes. Many people had only heard that the useless young master of the Yue family could cultivate Qi, but hadn't seen it for themselves before. Adding to this were the high odds outside the arena, and many people were expecting Yue Cheng to be the dark horse of this competition.

  Looking at Yue Cheng's body covered in green aura, Roger's expression became somewhat puzzled. The other party seemed to be practicing neither internal energy nor magic, and for a moment, he felt unsure of what to do next.

  Yue Zishan looked at the green aura surrounding Yue Cheng and couldn't understand it either, this wasn't the Yue family's Qi, he turned around to look at Yue Zifeng, who also shook his head unknowingly, he didn't know what kind of cultivation Yue Cheng was practicing.

  For magicians, Yue Cheng wasn't very afraid. Magicians are good at long-range attacks, and so is he. Long-range attacks are more advantageous for him. In his first match, he encountered a third-level magician, and Yue Cheng was somewhat worried. However, the contestants this time seemed to have abilities that weren't below that of a third-level magician. It could only be said that the people from the four major families all had pretty good talents.

  Since the opponent did not attack, Yue Cheng also didn't rush, using stillness to control movement can gain the upper hand in battle, and it's also good for probing the opponent's bottom line.

  Xiao Qi carefully watched Xiang Cheng in the arena below, Xiang Cheng's moves she had seen before, if he used the same move that saved her last time, then Luo Jie would definitely lose, but it was unknown whether Xiang Cheng had any other moves.

  "Whoosh!" Roger finally couldn't hold back, a water-elemental magic fragment in his hand shook, and a pillar of water condensed from the water-elemental magic shot rapidly towards Yue Cheng.

  "Soul-Seizing Finger" Yue Cheng's expression sank, and he formed a familiar hand seal in his hand. The tip of his right index finger glowed with a bright blue light, as a blue-colored attack shot towards his opponent.

  The two forces collided without any fancy moves, both of them wanting to test each other's strength. The two forces clashed rapidly, spreading out in a ripple of energy. Yue Cheng's body took half a step back. Roger's body hesitated slightly, and the first move put Yue Cheng at a disadvantage.

  "If I can reach the later stage of Open Enlightenment, I should be able to confront a third-level magician head-on." Yue Cheng thought to himself, on the aspect of attacking power, his current cultivation at the middle stage of Open Enlightenment was still unable to withstand the attacks of a third-level magician.

  Roger's one move was enough to test out Yue Cheng's attacking power, although he didn't know what his opponent had been training in, but it seemed that his opponent was slightly weaker than himself, so he wasn't as serious as at the beginning.

  "Inverted Reflection in Water" Roger's entire body was enveloped by a dense layer of water-elemental magic, a physical wall of condensed water-elemental magic formed in front of him. The surrounding space was shrouded in a thick aura of water-elemental magic power. Inside the water wall, rows of water spikes hung upside down, and being injured by these water spikes would be no different from being wounded by a sharp blade. A magician's attack is completely transformed from their magical power, and the strength or weakness of their magical power determines the strength or weakness of their attack.

  "Go!" Roger pushed with both hands, and a huge wall of water rushed towards Yue Cheng, its power not under Yan Xiaoqi's attack.

  "Zhu Mo Zhang", Yue Cheng's face changed, and he formed a familiar hand seal again. A dense, dark green aura gathered in his right hand, condensing into a massive green palm print. Powerful energy emanated from the green palm print, heading towards Roger's reflection in the water.

  A huge blue palm print was imprinted on the water wall, a massive whirlpool suddenly formed, and then the blue palm print slightly darkened, persisted for a moment before finally breaking through Roger's water wall, and the two forces dissipated simultaneously in the field.

  Watching Yue Cheng's attack, everyone was puzzled. This kind of attacking power had never been seen before, and it looked incredibly powerful. Perhaps it was a kind of lost Dou Qi.

  Watching Yue Cheng block his own reflection in the water, Roger's face changed color. This reflection was one of his strongest attacks, it seemed that he had to use full force, otherwise even if he won against his opponent, he would still consume a lot of magic power and would undoubtedly lose in the second round.

  Roger's expression turned grave as he gazed at Yue Cheng, and the water-elemental magic within him began to surge wildly. A transparent energy orb suddenly materialized before him, its surface covered in a layer of glittering water droplets. A powerful aura also started to emanate from it.

  "Is it time to go all out?" Yue Cheng muttered to himself, and immediately the true energy in his body rapidly circulated. A dense green mist spread out from his body, and the hand seals in his hands changed rapidly. Then, two flames shot out of his hands and condensed into a scorching hot fireball in front of him.

  "A fire-element mage." Many people who saw the flame in Yue Cheng's hand thought that Yue Cheng was a fire-element mage, because except for fire-element mages, no one could condense flames out of thin air. At this time, Yue Zi Shan was even more puzzled, these methods were not from the Yue family.

  Yan Xiaoqi furrowed her brow, she was a practitioner of fire magic, so naturally she knew that Yue Cheng didn't use fire magic, because there were no signs of fire magic elements on his body. This was too unbelievable, could it be that he was an alchemist? Because apart from fire magic practitioners, alchemists could also condense flames out of thin air, and their control over fire was even more terrifying than that of fire magic practitioners.
