Insufficient balance

  It seems that his magic wand has a very strong amplifying effect, because I know that at his current level, he can't even use this pure energy ball, and it's also very difficult for me to use.

  As the Magic Ball of Mark appeared, his Fire Dragon gradually dimmed, it seems that he was also struggling to support it. Taking advantage of the reduced pressure, I quickly began to chant my spell, it seems that there's no other way but to use Radiant Nine States again, I don't know if it can withstand it. Actually, I wanted to use Energy Ball too, but I knew my magic control couldn't compare to Mark's, I would definitely be hit by him, but not necessarily able to hit him back. The only option is to launch a full-scale attack and defend at the same time.

  "Great element of light, permit me to borrow your mighty power, fill the earth with infinite light and shine."

  I slowly floated up from the ground, my entire body emitting a dazzling white light. My magic robe fluttered behind me, and the golden magic stone on my chest emitted a beam of golden light that intertwined with my white light. I tilted my head back, and one-third of the magical power of the golden elixir in my brow split out to fill my entire body. However, unlike last time, this time I used another third of my magical power to control this magic, because I knew that Mark's energy ball was no weaker than my Light of Nine Provinces. With all my might, I concentrated the Light of Nine Provinces towards the center, forming a massive light pillar with a diameter equal to the width of the arena and striking it at Mark.

  "Older brother, you're so ruthless!" Mark waved his hand and the energy ball at the tip of his magic wand flew towards the light pillar.

  I fell, and because Guangyao's nine states were too scattered, they couldn't even block the energy ball's advance, only slowing down its advancing speed a bit.

  I strained every nerve to muster a weak light shield in front of me, and the fire energy ball was already right in front of me. A fragmented glow appeared before my eyes, and the light shield couldn't withstand it. My light shield was shattered for the first time.

  A scorching sensation swept through my entire body, I knew, it was all over, I had been hit. Just at this critical moment, an unexpected change occurred, the magic cloak on me burst out with dazzling golden light centered on the central magic stone, forming a transparent thin film defense shield that separated me and the energy ball.

  "Quickly pour the remaining magical power into the magic stone on your chest."

  I unconsciously did what he said.

  The energy sphere and my defensive shield emitted intense friction, with powerful pressure waves pressing towards me one after another. I retreated step by step, already at the edge of the arena.

  Can't give up.

  I won't lose, I absolutely can't lose. I hold my magic wand across my chest and let out a loud shout: "Ah! ————"

  As I burst out, a warm energy flowed through my body and directly into the magic wand through my arm. I felt a lightness throughout my body as I finally consumed all the energy of the energy ball.

  I plopped down on the ground, panting heavily with my mouth agape, and a thread of blood trickling from the corner of my mouth. The warm energy that had just enveloped my entire body was healing my damaged meridians... Ah! It was Xiaojin who helped me at this critical moment.

  Where's Mark? Where did Mark go? I started looking for his figure after catching my breath.

  "Chang Gong classmate, if you can't get up within 5 seconds, I'll have to declare the match a draw."

  Ah! Looks like Mark is also uncomfortable, haha, I quickly stood up.

  It turns out that Mark was knocked down when his energy ball entered my Glorious Nine States halfway, and he didn't have much energy left to begin with. He couldn't withstand my compressed Glorious Nine States. Now Teacher Di is treating him (he wasn't hit lightly by me).

  I really didn't think winning would be so tough, and in the end, even Xiao Jin's energy was mobilized. (Hehe, I've actually broken the rules here, but definitely no one knows, because generally, a contracted beast can't produce power inside its master's body, it must go through summoning.)

  I was carried back to the dormitory by two roommates with no strength left in my body. Just as I was about to fall asleep, Teacher Di's voice came again.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? You're having a harder time beating Mark, who is one level below you, than he is. You're really stupid."

  Because I didn't know where Teacher Di was, I couldn't answer. (Even if I knew the direction with my current state...) Maybe Teacher Di also knew that I couldn't answer, so she started scolding me fiercely and training me thoroughly.

  It's just that if I had taken the initiative to attack from the start, I definitely wouldn't have lost so badly. What was I too careless about? There are still many flaws in my magic.

  I really couldn't take it anymore, so I used the magic power that had just recovered a bit to seal my soul and smoothly entered my dream.

  Because I was too exhausted, I didn't go to watch Gaku and that D-class girl's match the next day. Whatever, Gaku will definitely win anyway. But even if Gaku is strong, he won't have Mark's Energy Ball, right? Tomorrow, I'll definitely win.

  After lunch, I came to Mark's dormitory to see how he was doing. This kid is also very weak, not as good as me, and it's hard for him to get out of bed.

  "Older brother, you're really ruthless, I've been beaten black and blue by you."

  "You also said I'm ruthless, but you're not much better. However, you've really made a lot of progress. Before the competition, I didn't think your strength was so close to mine. It seems I need to work harder, or else I'll be surpassed by you and won't be able to be your senior."

  We exchanged a glance and burst out laughing, chatted for a while, then I returned to the dormitory. I need to seize the time to concentrate my magic power in preparation for tomorrow's competition.

  When I woke up, it was already evening, and Green Hair and two roommates had returned.

  "Longbow, you are truly my idol. My admiration for you is as endless as the flowing Yangtze River."

  "Look, I'm awesome, you want me as your backing? Go away. Don't bother me."

  "Longbow, I have some astonishing news, would you like to hear it?"

  "You! What good news could you possibly have?" I looked at him with a skeptical gaze.

  "It's definitely useful for you, you know? Today, Gouke the Great unexpectedly lost, and he lost very quickly too!" said Green Hair mysteriously.

  "What! What did you say? Gu Ke actually lost." It's impossible, right? Gu Ke was actually defeated by a girl from Class D. I'm still clear about Gu Ke's strength, although we've never fought before, but I know it's not easy to become the top of the second year.

  "Are you trying to deceive me? If you are, you're dead for sure." My hands began to gather magical power, intending to intimidate and scare the green-haired one.

  "Boss Longbow, don't be like that, I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, ask them."

  I turned around and looked at my two roommates in confusion.

  Long De. An Shore said, "Chang Gong this will green hair didn't lie, today's grasp Ke really lost very badly, I'm afraid even he himself doesn't quite understand how he lost."
