Chapter 9: The Figure After the Shadow

  Seiron directly pulled Hoshi Yū to the center of the martial arts arena, where the number of onlookers was gradually increasing.

  I really want to yell out: "I'm here to sign up, not to duel!"

  Because of Wood's furious words, Seron's pride, Liliana's confidence, and Tear's hint of anger.

  Alright, suddenly it became a matter of speaking with strength. Speaking with strength is no problem, the problem is Xing You's strength, which he himself is extremely clear about.

  He has a foundation as a formal magician, the problem is that he doesn't have any combat experience with magic, although he's been practicing with Tear LV5 for several days.

  Tears also felt extremely surprised at his own performance.

  But looking at Liriana tearing her dress and tying up her ponytail, it's clear that she wants to minimize the impact and seriously deal with herself and others.

  I don't have any actual combat experience!

  At this moment when Yun You was entangled, Seron was openly discussing tactics in front of the enemy.

  "Xingyou, you're a Summoner, I have no way of gauging your individual strength. But I'm a Wind-element Mage, and I have the confidence to take on Lilianna one-on-one. How about you? I'd love to know just how strong you are!"

  Unknown strength summoner, and wind system mage?

  Wu De's heart couldn't help but accelerate its pounding, he had really found a good seedling this time, and maybe this year's competition would be promising!

  Xing You looked at Cailon, who was expecting him with unparalleled anticipation, and suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure.

  Wind and Thunder mages, two people who were about the same age as him, had actually surpassed him by a whole level.

  Xing You adjusted his state, and his voice became extremely cold.

  "Sei Yū Kurūwuddo, professional summoner, official magician rank, possesses a single magical creature, the true power of which even I cannot estimate!"

  "But if I let Tear go on stage, crushing the entire city of Beross would be effortless, so this time's exam, I'll take it myself."

  "Celoron, I'm just a formal magician, I don't have that power you're expecting so much, but I'll still do my best."

  "Tactics don't make sense in a situation like this, so let's just go straight!"

  Ceylon looked at Xing You who adjusted his state in a short period of time and asked: "Don't you want to rely on the summoner of the magic?"

  "Liliana, then let's get started and let me and Sei Yū crush your confidence!"

  Cerlon began a low chant, his slightly curved body bursting out without any extra movement, charging straight at Liriana!

  Without any reservation, using the thrust of the air like a jet, he faced Liliana head-on.

  A Wind-attribute mage is actually charging head-on towards a Thunder-attribute mage with the strongest explosive power!

  Wude and Leizi knew what Seron's move meant. He disdained to play tricks and schemes, and directly clashed with him head-on!

  Wudu and Leizi understand, Liliana also understands what Selon means, and she doesn't plan to reserve anything either.

  Started a low chant, the surrounding thunder element began to roar!

  The Thunder Clan emphasizes explosion, the Wind Clan emphasizes control. Since Serron is going to challenge his own strongest explosive power!

  Then come on!

  Liliana didn't intend to draw a magic circle, although it would maximize her power usage, the action was too obvious and time-consuming.

  In this face-to-face battle, no large burst is needed, so use close-range fixed-point explosion magic!

  The Wind mage's speed was too fast, leaving Liriana with hardly any time to think.

  Liliana gazed at Celona's rapidly enlarging and approaching figure, raised her own right hand, and began to chant in a low, rapid voice.

  A bolt of lightning gathered in her right hand, amidst a frenzy of thunderous roars.

  Tears gazed at that extremely familiar Cang Lei, although the level of energy was vastly different, but saw a hint of Mei Qin's shadow!

  "Mid-range fixed-point burst of Thunder Gun?"

  Woods made a prediction in no time: "Although that young man's speed is quite fast, it's impossible to be faster than Liriana's chanting speed!"

  Cerlon in the arena could clearly feel the pressure of that gunshot, and also knew that his speed was not faster than the chanting speed.

  But Seron had no intention of slowing down and retreating at all!

  Because the speed of movement is not faster than the speed of chanting, it does not mean that the casting speed is slower than the chanting speed!

  Cailon's right hand, which had been hiding behind his back, suddenly condensed a gust of wind blade, and his right hand swung out suddenly!

  A nearly invisible wind blade sliced through an arc-shaped trajectory outside the line of sight, flying towards Liriana.

  Although it was just a Wind Blade that even a magic apprentice could use, at this moment it became the key to interrupting the spell.

  In a wizards' duel, there is no strongest magic, only the most suitable one!

  And it wasn't over yet, for Seron began a low chanting once more.

  His gaze was fixed on Liriana, and he wondered what choice she would make in the face of his probing Wind Blade.

  If it's this woman, then she won't give up that decisive Thunder Gun.

  She will continue to chant, and what's left is how she dodges, it's hard to capture the trajectory of the air blade!

  Tears, Wu De, Xiao Qing, even Xing You who stood silently by the side, and many onlookers drawn in.

  Everyone's heart was lifted up, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyes, because they were afraid that in the moment of blinking, the outcome had already been decided.

  Liliana found it difficult to calculate the trajectory of that gust blade, but she didn't plan on calculating the trajectory of this gust blade.

  The purpose of this move is to interrupt her spellcasting, so the locked position must be where I am right now!

  In Wood's astonished eyes, Liriana had no intention of ending her song.

  It even started accelerating chanting because Liriana didn't chant at full speed from the beginning, just to make Seron's calculation go wrong.

  Liliana finally completed her incantation just as Seron appeared before her five meters away!

  The Thunder Gun was finally formed, and Liliana, holding the Thunder Gun, took a step forward and easily dodged Seron's wind blade.

  Liliana, who had prepared everything, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

  The accuracy and strength of a magician's spellcasting are greatly related to distance. Within five meters, Liliana has the confidence to hit!

  Even if Selron hid as fast as he could, Liliana had absolute confidence that she would bring him into the explosion range of Thunder Gun.

  "The winner is me!"

  In Xiao Su's eyes, everything was too fast, just a few short seconds had passed and several exchanges had already taken place, were they about to decide the outcome?

  Liliana, who had locked down Serlon, was like a javelin thrower, wanting to hurl the Thunder Gun in her hand!

  "Is the winner really you?"

  Liliana stiffened at the sudden words.

  Captured in his left hand hidden behind him by Selon, a wild gust of wind was constantly howling above his left hand!

  A deep shock appeared in his eyes, and while moving at high speed, he was able to chant with unparalleled smoothness?

  And in Xingyou's eyes, as if Newton was dead, Seron's figure strangely came to a standstill, like burning paper.

  A small tornado-like vortex above his left hand was punched out by Cielon like a fist.

  Because of a sudden sentence spoken by Seron, Liliana's movements stiffened slightly.

  It was precisely this stiffness that allowed Ceylon to gain time to use magic!

  But Liriana didn't back down either, and the Thunder Gun in her hand was finally thrown out!

  In the slightly narrowed pupils of Lixiao, the Thunder Gun finally intertwined with the small tornado!

  No matter how hard he struggled, Seron, the wind attribute mage, still had to admit that his magical strength was inferior to Lilianna's, who possessed the lightning attribute.

  The intertwined magic exploded into a sky full of smoke and sand, with strong winds and thunder snakes rampaging continuously.

  Wu De helplessly spread his hands and glanced at Leizi and Xiao Qing with a sideways glance: "I hope that arrogant young man won't get hurt too badly!"

  Is the great "good guy" Seron brother injured?

  But Tear didn't seem to notice Wood's confident attitude, and instead patted the little canopy on the shoulder, pointing upwards.

  As Tui's movement caught their attention, Xiao Qing, Xing You, Wu De and the surrounding onlookers looked up at the sky.

  Xiao Xiang pressed her own lips together and let out an uncontrollable exclamation of surprise along with everyone else.

  Because just like magic, Seron's figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the open-air martial arts arena!

  Lingzi patted Xiaoming's little head: "Don't worry, do you think Ming knows that he will lose to Baozhan, and Selon will foolishly go to compete with Baozhan?"

  "His dragon's whirlwind was not for withstanding the Thunder Gun, but for accelerating his ascension!"

  "Although this can dodge Liriana's attack, he is unable to exert effective force in mid-air. Even with the help of wind power, it will be difficult for him to avoid Liriana's next attack!"

  As Lilianna's words fell, a massive thunderbolt in furious roar dispersed the smoky sand that filled the sky, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

  Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had always been manipulated by Selon, and all her actions were under his control!

  Start falling freely, Seron, just like Lilianna didn't notice the brewing anger, a "kind" loud reminder.

  "Don't aim at me anymore, you won't be able to use this move!"

  "Because I'm not fighting alone!"

  The crowd around them suddenly let out an irrepressible cry of surprise, and among the cries was Wood's voice.

  Liliana subconsciously turned her head back, and behind her completely defenseless body, a figure burst forth in an explosive manner!

  It's Sei Yuu, that man who was forgotten by Liliana, who has been lurking around and waiting for this moment.

  Xing You took big strides on the martial arts arena's floor, made of black obsidian, which emitted a dull echo.

  That connected together, like a fatal rhythm, shocked in Liriana's heart.

  Liliana's pupils began to dilate slightly, and only one thought remained in her mind: she had to block this blow, a fatal blow!

  But Xing You's eyes were filled with stubbornness, her blood boiling with rage. This is the result of your daring to despise me!

  Even if I were just a formal magician, I wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand face-to-face in front of you.

  But now it's time to prove that even a formal magician has the possibility of defeating a demon!

  Xing You didn't notice his speed getting faster and faster, all the nerves and magic in his body were roaring!

  With all of Star Yu's magic infused in his right hand, he let out a thunderous roar at the top of his lungs!

  "At this moment, even if you're a magician, get down for me!"
