Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

This competitive competition is divided into two stages, namely the round-robin stage and the final stage. Those who rank in the top 100 in the final stage will get the opportunity to go to Falan for training.

But Luo Xi was not prepared to compete for a place in the competition and go to Falan for training. This was because the apprentices who returned from Falan training in accordance with the agreement of the tower were required to join a newly formed combat team formed by the black-robed law enforcers.

Spending a lot of money to cultivate such a fighting team at this time is probably to rely on them to take the lead in attacking difficulties in the near future.

Although Luo Xi still doesn't know how to deal with himself in this upcoming war, he is very sure that he cannot bear this responsibility. If this is the case, then he will not occupy the manhole and give up. Leave the opportunity to those who deserve it more.

However, this does not mean that Luo Xi is ready to give up the competition casually. After all, he is now one of the few high-level apprentices in the same period. Moreover, due to previous publicity, his deeds of fighting the dark wizard are already known to everyone. Everyone regards him as the favorite to win the championship. It would be too fake to casually let him go and lose the game. Castle might cause trouble for him.

The main reason is for knowledge.

In order to motivate the apprentices of the Castle of Elements, Witch Lord Anthony has announced in advance that all apprentices who can enter the final stage can go to the first floor of the learning tower in the wizard area of ​​the castle for three days of independent study, where many wizard-level students are stored. The knowledge is really important to Luo Xi, who is currently extremely thirsty for knowledge.

so,

Luo Xi's plan was to casually get through the knockout stage first, and then find a decent opponent to lose the game after entering the final stage. This way, he would not have to go to Falan to occupy someone else's spot, but he could also go to the learning tower to get the knowledge he wanted. .

The next day, the Magic Competition kicked off.

Elemental castle, amphitheater.

The amphitheater, which looks exactly like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, was bustling with people and packed with seats.

Competitive Arena No. 13.

In the ring, Luo Xi looked at his opponent standing opposite and had to sigh at the magic of fate. Unexpectedly, the person who kicked off his opening match was none other than his friend, Allen, who had been with him day and night.

Allen also didn't expect that his opponent would be Luo Xi. He laughed and said: "Haha, Luo Xi, the two of us actually bumped into each other."

After a pause, he said frankly: "I don't think I can be your opponent, but it would be too embarrassing to surrender just like that. You have been training as a knight. In this case, why don't we two How about practicing physical skills?”

He is also a middle-level apprentice who was promoted just a few months ago, and there is a big gap between him and Luo Xi.

Luo Xi nodded readily: "Okay."

"Cang!" As the bell rang, it also announced that the battle had officially begun.

Allen had obviously made a lot of preparations for this battle. He immediately pulled away and swung the short-handled wand in his hand as he stepped back.

This competition mainly tests the magical combat abilities of the apprentices. Except for special schools such as alchemy and necromancy, apprentices from other departments are not allowed to use any additional witchcraft tools in the ring. They are all short-handled weapons uniformly issued by the castle. Wand and apprentice cloak.

As Allen shook it, the wand in his hand began to grow longer and larger, and changed its shape. After a while, it actually turned into a cross sword.

Intermediate apprentice level spell: mimetic shape.

Allen held the cross sword, raised his hands up to shoulder level, and assumed a low-top knight's sword starting position.

And at the moment when he was ready to move, a burly knight in jumpsuit appeared inexplicably behind him.

Advanced Apprentice Level Witchcraft: Possession by Heroic Spirits.

This is a special spiritual spell. It uses items with soul marks left by some powerful creatures as the core to build a spell model. When it is cast, it can call upon part of the former power of these powerful creatures.

For example, Allen used the soul mark in the badge left by a great knight of his ancestors. After casting this spell, he possessed the powerful swordsmanship of his ancestors during his lifetime.

"Kakaka!"

There was a crisp click sound, and the violently dancing cloak wrapped around Allen under the strong wind, and transformed under the action of mimetic shaping to reveal a metallic luster. After a while, a heroic jumpsuit appeared. The knight armor was already worn on Allen.

Allen pulled down the grid mask on his helmet, and the knight spirit behind him did the same thing: "Elemental Castle Issue 128, Intermediate Apprentice Allen Grayling, please advise."

Luo Xi raised his right hand and moved forward. Several streams of azure elemental light gathered from all sides and condensed into an ice sword in front of it. Luo Xi grabbed the ice sword and said: "Elemental Castle, Roxi Herat ,Please advise."

The next second, the two of them ran towards each other at the same time.

The two of them knew each other's swordsmanship thoroughly, and neither of them tried their best in this fight.

For a while, only the sound of clanging collisions was heard, and the two clashing cross swords pulled out streaks of light and shadow in the air.

At this time, eight or nine months have passed since Luo Xi was promoted to the Cavaliers. After these eight or nine months of continuous training, his measurements have increased significantly.

Strength 10.8, agility 11.3, and constitution 10.6.

Ten times the strength of ordinary people!

However, on the opposite side, Allen, as a body-refining wizard, also undergoes continuous knight training and usually uses various magic and potions to strengthen his body measurements. Compared to Luo Xi, the average measurement of the three items in the last test has reached 18 points, almost double that of Luo Xi.

In terms of swordsmanship, Luo Xi used the advanced swordsmanship left by the Black Mountain Knights. Allen's own swordsmanship level was not as good as Luo Xi's, but after using the heroic spirit possession, he also borrowed the swordsmanship honed by his ancestors throughout his life, which was no worse than Luo Xi's.

As a result, Luo Xi did not have the advantage in the fight between the two sides, and was suppressed by Allen in turn.

However, after realizing that there was no advantage in a head-on confrontation, Luo Xi immediately adjusted his strategy. While using the light body technique to distance himself, he used the sword wind to strike remotely without making direct contact with Allen.

In the past six months, Luo Xi has further strengthened various spells. All apprentice-level spells have been upgraded to a perfect level, and Jianfeng is no exception.

The perfect sword style is no longer the showy thing it used to be, and its lethality has been greatly improved. Allen must go all out for every sword style that is struck. This is something Luo Xi has to hold back for fear of hurting him. situation.

The sword winds hit Allen in agony. If he wanted to chase after him, Luo Xi would disappear quickly before he could get close to him. Even if he managed to catch up and launch an attack, he would be blocked by the opponent's defensive spells. .

Entering such a rhythm of being passively beaten, the outcome is actually very clear. Although Allen has been struggling hard, no miracle happened in the end. The defensive magic circle spell on the cloak was hit with enough attack points and was judged as lose.

Allen, who was out of breath, was very frustrated: "Oh no!"

During the entire battle, he didn't even touch Luo Xi's side, and he didn't even use the powerful swordsmanship brought by his ancestors' heroic spirits. He was just being consumed by Luo Xi.

Luo Xi shrugged: "Accept."

At the same time, in the auditorium.

In the magic duel field, the two apprentices fighting with swords were quite eye-catching, and naturally attracted the attention of a large number of people, including the top alliance executives at the top of the auditorium who also paid more attention to this side.

The great sage Yisi couldn't help but said with curiosity: "I haven't seen a sword-wielding wizard fighting for a long time. Did you expect that this system is still being passed down? Anthony, are these all your apprentices?"

Anthony quickly said: "Yes, sir, both of them are from the first phase. The one possessed by the heroic spirit is called Allen, and the one with black hair is called Luo Xi."

Although he rarely shows up in front of apprentices, Anthony is absolutely responsible for the management of the entire castle. Basically, he can clearly name every apprentice, even those who have just joined the castle.

"Roxi."

Great Sage Yi Si wondered: "Is it the apprentice who helped Karen resist the dark wizard on the wizard ship?"

Anthony nodded: "Yes, sir, this is the child."

The Great Sage Yisi smiled and turned to Iris next to him as if chatting: "Karen specifically praised this child to me and said he was very good."

Iris remained silent and did not speak, but frowned a little involuntarily.
