Chapter 971: Chapter 971: The Second Game
Having grasped this point, Qin Sisi no longer hesitated.
Seeing that the fireballs she had just launched were mostly extinguished by the ice stick men, she summoned the Fire Attribute Magic Power within her and gradually formed a colossal fireball in the palm of her hand, hurling it towards the middle of the ice stick men’s ranks.
The massive fireball plummeted from the sky, landing in the midst of the ice stick men, who immediately swarmed over to release ice fog around the fireball.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Sisi dove down, unleashing All-around Snowflakes from both palms, shattering four ice stick men simultaneously.
Elated by the result, she immediately pursued her advantage. The remaining dozens of ice stick men, under the wild barrage of All-around Snowflakes, eventually shattered into ice fragments scattered across the ground, no longer capable of attacking.
Exhausting all her strength in this final power strike, Qin Sisi watched as all enemies were defeated, her heart relaxing at last. She slowly descended, sitting on the icy surface and gasping for breath.
At this moment, the badge tied to her wrist began to flicker again. Qin Sisi lifted her wrist to look and was momentarily speechless, her heart sinking.
The badge displayed: "The second wave of ice stick men will arrive in ten minutes, numbering four hundred."
Qin Sisi looked up at the sky in silence, thinking the Ice Magic assessment was over, only to find another wave of ice stick men was on its way, twice the number of the previous wave.
Although she managed to secure a final victory against the first wave of two hundred ice stick men, her Magic Power was nearly depleted.
While she had gained some very useful experience, in her state of complete exhaustion, she had no confidence to confront four hundred ice fog-releasing ice stick men.
If she were in peak condition, there might be a sliver of hope, but even a high-quality level First-level Rejuvenation Pill she concocted couldn’t fully restore a Third Level Magic Teacher’s Magic Power.
At that moment, an idea struck Qin Sisi, and she hastily searched her clothes to find the Third Level Rejuvenation Pill she had discovered in that cramped Alchemy room.
This Rejuvenation Pill would allow her to instantly recover eighty percent of her Magic Power, and if necessary, she could use the Rejuvenation Pills she concocted during the process.
Qin Sisi began to understand why Alchemy was positioned first, because in subsequent assessments, the opponents were too powerful, and no one could rely solely on their strength to continuously complete the assessments for twelve kinds of magic.
To prevent Alchemy skills from significantly affecting the assessment results, Heavenly Magic God’s Castle provided some benefits in secret, such as that Third Level Rejuvenation Pill hidden in the crevice of the bricks.
However, this seemed to test the students’ observation skills as well, because without enough attention to detail, one would simply not discover it in such a concealed location.
After taking the Third Level Rejuvenation Pill, the Magic Power within Qin Sisi’s body surged back to fullness.
She stood up and walked to the heavily damaged Freezing Wall. With less than ten minutes remaining, she aimed to repair and reinforce the Freezing Wall as much as possible.
When the four hundred ice stick men, their legs like matchsticks, skated across the ice towards her, Qin Sisi’s Freezing Wall had been restored to its original size, though thinner than when it first began.
Qin Sisi’s Ice Attribute Magic Force was never very strong to begin with; managing this much in ten minutes was already impressive.
Soon, the large troop of four hundred ice stick men charged forward and slammed viciously against the newly repaired Freezing Wall.
The second row pushed against the first, with the third row pressing against the second; indeed, there was strength in numbers. With one strike, countless fine cracks instantly appeared on the Freezing Wall, which seemed like it could collapse at any moment.
Although Qin Sisi was mentally prepared, she still felt a heavy sinking feeling upon seeing this scene.
Around the edges, a dozen ice stick men that the Freezing Wall had not blocked skated over, attracted by Qin Sisi’s body heat, and approached to release their ice fog.
Qin Sisi could not afford to engage them in battle. She immediately summoned her Wings of Rainbow to fly midair, soaring over the Freezing Wall. Looking down, she saw the densely packed ice stick men clumped together, all pushing and pounding against the precarious Freezing Wall.
The timing was perfect. Qin Sisi steeled her heart, diving while mobilizing her greatest Ice Attribute Magic Power, and released two streams of All-around Snowflakes ice magic, shooting them toward the crowd of ice stick men below.
Several sounds of shattering followed one after another; some ice stick men had noticed Qin Sisi’s presence and began to jump, attempting to attack her with their ice fog.
In a panic, Qin Sisi flew up to midair, returning to the other side of the Freezing Wall. In her nervousness, she did not see clearly how many ice stick men her attack had killed—it could have been four or could have been five.
After returning behind the Freezing Wall, Qin Sisi noticed that the dozen or so ice stick men who had skated over from the edge had lost her trail after she moved to the other side of the wall, so they continued sliding forward and soon vanished from her sight.
Qin Sisi had no way to chase and kill those dozen ice stick men; if she did, the large troop behind them might break through the Freezing Wall, and her trouble would be even greater.
She released a burst of Ice Attribute Magic Force to make a quick repair of the Freezing Wall, then once again took to the skies, flying over the Freezing Wall, using the All-around Snowflakes magic skill to bombard the ice stick men.
This time, she wasn’t as nervous as the first attack. After the first strike, she quickly turned and flew up high.
After circling once, she dove down for the second bombing. Because there were too many ice stick men, all squeezed together, each attack resulted in a variable number of ice stick men being shattered into ice chunks.
After several repetitions, Qin Sisi felt a bit tired, so she landed on the other side of the Freezing Wall to rest a bit and repair it.
During Qin Sisi’s attacks, some ice stick men had skated past the edge of the Freezing Wall, and after failing to find their target, they slid directly forward. Qin Sisi did not bother with these small fry.
When there were about a hundred ice stick men left, the Freezing Wall finally collapsed with a ’boom.’
Qin Sisi lost the protective barrier and could only control the Wings of Rainbow to fly into the air, launching her final attack on the ice stick men.
With every release of an attack skill, Qin Sisi felt her body weaken slightly. As time passed, the number of ice stick men decreased, and Qin Sisi grew more and more exhausted, to the point that she could hardly control the Wings of Rainbow well.
Since the range of the All-around Snowflakes attack skill couldn’t be too far from the target, she had to get close to the ice stick men to attack them and then quickly return to the high skies to avoid the ice fog released by the ice stick men.
Due to extreme fatigue, after releasing an attack skill, Qin Sisi was just about to turn and fly upwards when a mass of bitterly cold ice fog sprayed towards her, narrowly brushing past the edges of the Wings of Rainbow as it drifted by.
