Chapter 601: This is a Tyrant-ization Magical Plant?!! |
Witch Sera raised the wizard sword in her hand. The wizard sword was not a million-level luxury magical artifact, but merely a relatively decent one purchased for 200,000 magic stones. In this competition, it was considered fairly ordinary among magical artifacts.
However, this wizard sword was wrapped in endless flames with extraordinary power. The disturbance of its magical pressure even caused the surrounding air to twist. Many wizard apprentices who had accompanied their teachers to watch the competition began to sweat on their foreheads and became physically weak under this magical pressure.
Meanwhile, Witch Sera's phoenix clone was like a patrolling bird of flame, continuously launching attacks following Locke.
But no matter what, both of their attacks were actually evaded by Locke using his Grass and Wood Boots.
Witch Sera consecutively swung three sword strikes and frowned. Then she used the power carried by the true blood in her body.
Bloodline School common First Circle spell: Blood Boiling!
Her speed suddenly increased. She kicked off the ground, and immediately a flame appeared in the opposite direction on the ground.
That was blood flame.
Bloodline School common First Circle spell: Flame Step!
Locke only saw Witch Sera instantly rush to his front, raising her flame-wrapped wizard sword and slashing toward Locke.
Locke lightly kicked off the ground with his feet and evaded.
Witch Sera frowned. "Those shoes also seem to have a reaction force acting on the ground, so they can increase Locke's movement speed."
"But the key to the problem isn't here. I've already used Flame Step magic to accelerate my speed, but I still can't keep up. This isn't reasonable. Based on the magical pressure of those magical plant wizard shoes, they shouldn't be able to support such fast reaction speed."
No matter how the magical plant's abilities changed, they still had to follow the universal rules of botany and the universal rules of magic.
If the magical pressure wasn't enough, then it wasn't enough.
The basic stats couldn't be too high.
Even if the comprehensive data of that pair of pure magical plant wizard shoes was really quite good, surprisingly able to help wizards of their level in this kind of battle.
"Is it that special domain?" Witch Sera tried slashing at Locke with her sword again, while using her third drop of true blood skill, Berserk.
Again using bloodline power to enhance her constitution, the speed at which she swung her sword became even faster.
Locke's expression changed slightly.
But he still narrowly avoided it.
However, Witch Sera suddenly reversed her sword strike, simultaneously chanting an incantation. The flames wrapped around the wizard sword suddenly surged three feet higher, becoming like a rotating fire sword in all directions.
First Circle common Bloodline School spell, Rotating Fire Sword.
The wizard sword swung toward Locke's neck.
But Locke suddenly kicked off the ground, leaping three feet into the air and dodging this attack.
Witch Sera thought to herself, "As expected, he senses in advance that I'm going to attack him. It's that Tyrant Domain constantly suppressing my magical power. So every time I launch a magical attack, he can sense it in advance."
"Because that invisible domain needs to suppress my magical power."
"However, I think this isn't the magical plant's inherent function. Because capturing such subtle magical pressure changes requires incredible magical sensitivity. This person Locke possesses this special ability. This should be a mechanism that only a few wizards, including him, can utilize."
The series of offensive and defensive exchanges left the wizards below the stage amazed.
Two Second Circle wizards from the Transmutation Tower were stunned.
Because originally they thought Locke would choose to clash head-on with Sera, and the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow magic indeed had that confidence.
But who knew that this wizard named Augustine would actually choose not to clash head-on.
However, so far, he also had no intention of counterattacking.
He was just constantly dodging within the pincer attack of the phoenix and Witch Sera.
The Second Circle wizard from the Transmutation Tower looked at the wizard shoes on Locke's feet. "What wizard shoes are those? Let me check if any shop alliances have the same model. I haven't seen them before. Could they be some new brand?"
"Hmm? Arthas has them, and sales are pretty good. Augustus series wizard shoes, first model? Could this be wizard shoes that kid produced himself?"
"Seems like they really are." Under his curiosity, this Second Circle wizard from the Transmutation Tower directly ordered a pair.
Because from Locke's performance just now, such a pair of pure magical plant wizard shoes for 20,000 magic stones was indeed excellent value, very cost-effective.
Of course, he wouldn't realize that the reason the Tyrant Hummingbird Bromeliad shoes performed so excellently, besides having genuinely good stats, was also because Locke's own mental sensitivity had been raised to an extremely exaggerated degree through continuous consumption of eye demon type potions.
He could actually capture the magical pressure changes within the Tyrant Domain. By relying on this method, he forcibly turned the magical domain whose core principle was originally the coordinated evolution mechanism into his own radar.
It was equivalent to forcibly adding a function to these wizard shoes.
Many First Circle wizards present saw the Second Circle wizard from the Transmutation Tower purchase them, and many of them also had to participate in various competitions. At this moment, they all subconsciously purchased these wizard shoes.
After all, in any competition, having a good pair of wizard shoes would be very useful.
"Perfect, I'm participating in the second round of the 100-meter Elemental Track Sprint Competition this afternoon. These wizard shoes look pretty good from the description. Looking carefully, the stats are so excellent that they're outstanding even among similar wizard shoes."
"Indeed, this wizard is quite right. These wizard shoes provide a large boost to a wizard's movement ability. It's hard to believe that a pure magical plant wizard shoe can achieve this level. Wait... could it be that other wizards are fighting on the competition stage, but he's not only fighting but also promoting his own goods?"
At this time, many wizards were already paying attention here.
After all, this was the highly anticipated Spell Combat Tournament, and it was on the most watched Arena No. 1.
Some breeders used Wish Lingzhi magical plants to open the interface and noticed the description for the Type 2 Tyrant Element cultivation method. "I know now. Isn't this wizard the culprit who caused the stock price of the Tyrant-Enhancement cultivation method shop alliance to drop significantly a few days ago?"
"He's competing too! These wizard shoes look pretty good, I'll also buy a pair to try."
"Type 2 Tyrant Element's Tyrant cultivation method? Quite novel. This technology just appeared, I didn't expect the completion level could be this high."
At this time, more and more breeders were gathering here.
Because many breeders had heard that Locke was using Tyrant-ization magical plants made with Type 2 Tyrant Element.
Roger, a Second Circle wizard from the Rose Council who came to watch the competition, walked toward Arena No. 1 with an ugly expression.
His most feared scenario had still come.
A few days ago, because the Type 2 Tyrant Element article was published on Green Grass Cloud Marsh, he had even lost a funding project. Now Type 2 Tyrant Element was in the spotlight again, and his research group would lose several more funding projects?
But when Roger thought about how Lady Yekaterina Throne had taken on this matter, and how multiple related Third Circle wizards had jointly issued statements favoring Type 2 Tyrant Element, he could only swallow this grievance.
This matter, because of Lady Throne, had already been discussed among the various Third Circle wizards. That researcher kid from Golden Crown Mountain probably didn't even know the specific details.
But all the troubles had already been cleared away.
If anyone still had objections, they would be objecting to those Third Circle wizards. No matter who they were, they would be the ones suffering serious blows.
Roger said in a low voice, "It's really good to have a good teacher. When I was young, how come I didn't meet such a teacher."
On the stage, when Locke saw that a large number of breeders had already gathered around, and he discovered that Witch Sera had gradually figured out the performance of his wizard shoes and was gradually concealing her magic, making it difficult for him to use the subtle magical pressure changes within the Tyrant Domain to capture her attack trajectory, Locke knew he had to get serious.
Otherwise, Witch Sera would sooner or later land a sword strike on him.
Bloodline School wizards had powerful close combat abilities. That bloodline common spell, Rotating Fire Sword, was even renowned for being able to sweep enemies in all directions and slash them in half with one strike. It was a very advanced spell in the Bloodline School.
He'd had enough fun.
The next moment, Witch Sera suddenly kicked off, her blood flame shooting out like a rocket. "Locke, be careful. We're both white wizards who like hunting black wizards, so I gave you some slack just now."
"Letting you sell your goods well. But now I'm getting serious."
Witch Sera's eyes flashed with the light of flame magic. The next moment, she continuously used several advanced First Circle Bloodline School spells carried in her true blood.
First Circle Bloodline School spell, Second Boiling!
Third Boiling!
First Berserk, Second Berserk!
Beast Body, Vajra Body, Blood Beast Body!
Witch Sera truly became serious. In an extremely brief time, she actually caused her bloodline to boil three times, raising her magical pressure activity to an incredible degree, allowing her bloodline activation to reach heights previously impossible.
The phoenix behind her became more real, its flames surging higher.
The scorching flames were even twisting the Tyrant Domain, affecting the suppression effect of the Tyrant Domain, about to directly burn through the Tyrant Domain.
At the same time, she used Berserk on her bloodline twice, then she used the progressive Bloodline School common enhancement magic from Beast Body to Vajra Body to Blood Beast Body.
At this moment, she was like a blood-colored small giant swinging her sword toward Locke, and her speed had reached an incredible level, nearly the fastest speed possible at the First Circle stage.
This speed was one that Locke couldn't possibly dodge with his previous clever tricks.
The flames wrapped around the wizard sword seemed like a fire blade, engulfing Locke's body.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the position beside the Cloud Peach stage, all thinking Locke had been slashed down with one sword.
But on the stage, within the burning flames, Locke suddenly jumped out from the flames. His magical pressure dispersed the phoenix's fire.
At the same time, Locke held the Tyrant Sea Gold Sand, which transformed into a fern spear and stabbed toward Witch Sera, but she blocked it with her wizard sword.
Many wizards present still didn't know what had just happened, didn't know why Locke could dodge from under Witch Sera's sword strike.
But Witch Sera knew what had just happened. She looked at Locke's slightly reddened skin, reddened eyes, and the beast features that appeared on his face.
She was slightly shocked.
"Two Berserks, Boiling Blood, Beast Body, and Blood Flame Enchantment..."
Witch Sera looked at the botanical magic Flowing Gold Fern Spear in Locke's hand.
"In the instant I slashed at him, he used Bloodline School common spells to enhance his body's basic functions, thus dodging my fatal strike!"
"What surprises me isn't just that he can possess a complete set of Bloodline School system magical artifacts, or even has the spiritual response of true blood in his body. It's that he actually has enough bloodline power to simultaneously use so many Bloodline School common spells..."
Generally, even if a wizard could use so many Bloodline School spells through a complete set of magical artifacts, they would easily drain themselves all at once due to insufficient bloodline power in their body.
The fact that Locke could drive so many Bloodline School spells showed how powerful the bloodline power in his body was.
Witch Sera snapped her fingers, having the phoenix actively attack Locke while she looked for opportunities from the side. "He's only been in the Origin Academy for half a year, right? I didn't expect he could fight this long with a witch like me who's been in the Origin Academy for four years."
"Moreover, his combat experience is very rich."
Witch Sera frowned.
Wizard warfare was information warfare. Unless necessary, she didn't want to use her full power on the second day.
But the wizard before her, the two types of Tyrant-ization magical plants in his hands both had very powerful magical pressure.
Locke's own magical pressure was 9999, the same as hers.
If both sides had similar stats, then it came down to the damage conversion efficiency of spells.
But the enhancement rate of Locke's several Tyrant magical plants on magical pressure was indeed very high. This was also the characteristic of Tyrant-ization magical plants.
Just as Witch Sera was momentarily dazed, an arrow shot by the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow magic forced back the phoenix, while another arrow fell toward Witch Sera's face.
Witch Sera's expression didn't change. Having continuously used Bloodline School spells, her physical functions had reached an incredible height. With just one sword strike, she cut the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow shot at her in half at the waist.
However, her 200,000 magic stone wizard sword also got a large notch chipped out.
She lowered her head to glance at the wizard sword. Just as she raised her head, she saw another arrow shot by the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow magic, that Little Diamond Jujube Pendant, shooting toward her face.
"Piece of cake." Witch Sera, relying on her current reaction ability, dodged this arrow.
The next moment, she raised her head and saw Locke gripping the Flowing Gold Fern Spear, stabbing toward her chest.
"Bang~"
With a thunderous sound, Locke looked in surprise as blue patterns appeared on Witch Sera's body surface.
His Flowing Gold Fern Spear, staking all his magical pressure plus the enhancement from the Tyrant Sea Gold Sand, only made her continuously retreat backward to the edge of the stage.
Locke subconsciously called upon all his abyssal energy to empower the Flowing Gold Fern Spear, but couldn't pierce through even a fraction of an inch. It only caused Witch Sera to nearly fall off the competition stage.
Locke recognized it. This was the strongest First Circle Bloodline School spell, Magical Energy Body, which converted bloodline energy and magical pressure entirely into body surface defensive power, creating a magic for an ultra-strong defensive body.
But this type of magic was extremely complex. Ordinary Bloodline School wizards simply couldn't learn it.
Who knew the Witch Sera before him could master it.
Well, who told Golden Crown Mountain to have super geniuses as common as weeds!
The next moment, the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow that had missed earlier suddenly circled in mid-air and ran back in front of Witch Sera. Witch Sera subconsciously blocked with her wizard sword, but the wizard sword shattered with a crash.
And she herself was knocked off the stage by that impact force.
The referee wizard immediately announced the result. "Locke Augustine wins, add one point. Sera Rich loses, deduct three points."
Witch Sera raised her head to glance at Locke, a flash of regret crossing her heart. "I should have been more serious just now."
But she quickly controlled her regret. "No, that's not right. Right now it's only the second day of the Sports Festival. And this wizard's magical pressure is 9999. In terms of spells, he has Peach Bow Thorn Arrow and two powerful Tyrant-ization magical plants."
"If I wanted to defeat him, I could, but I'd have to use all my methods and expose my trump cards. Weighing it carefully, compared to that, I'd rather just lose these three points. Otherwise, when I face those three Third Generations, I'll have no way to fight. Some of my methods can only work as surprise kills on first encounter."
Witch Sera performed a dueling salute to Locke. "Locke, your victory is well-deserved. Congratulations. You've defeated a veteran researcher from the Origin Academy."
"Fighting with you, I felt joy for the first time in a long while."
"If there are black wizards to eliminate in the future, you can find me."
Witch Sera turned and left.
On the stage, Locke watched the direction she left, his thoughts sinking slightly. "Although I won, I've already pushed my regular magical pressure to its limit. I still need higher magical pressure... Although the numerical value of magical pressure can only reach 9999, I can still increase the breadth of my regular magical pressure, that is, the total amount."
"Although I still retained the magical pressure total amount of Forest Sanctuary this time, as well as the beast panel, archaeology spells and potion master methods, I also won this battle with difficulty. More critically, because of Magical Energy Body, Sera Rich actually wasn't injured..."
"If this weren't a competition but a life-or-death battle, then I could use Myst's Power, use Glorious Fern Spear or Tyrant Fern Spear to break through her defense."
"But in competition, this level of mine isn't enough. I still need more powerful strength, more powerful attack magic! Attack magic that can give me higher output! Thinking carefully, within my current power system, is there any related technology that can be rapidly developed in a short time to enhance my power?"
"So that when I draw lots again and encounter seed players from Golden Crown Mountain, my power will rise to another level, giving me absolute certainty of victory!"
Locke suddenly sensed the meaning of this competition. "In the First Circle stage, I continuously developed defensive magic, so my strongest methods are all in the permanent defensive field. But Second Circle Grand Magic requires developing attack magic. The greatest meaning of this competition is to examine my research on attack magic."
"Since my current research is insufficient, I naturally feel anxious and restless. Regardless of the outcome of this competition, my understanding of attack magic will rise to another level. This is what the creator of the Spell Combat Tournament wants to tell me!"
