Chapter 1246: Chapter 110 Final Contest_3
Larthas snorted angrily, "No need, we concede this match. I’m not someone who can’t accept a loss. Master Levi, please announce the start of the last match. I will represent Tian Jing Mage Guild in combat."
Xuan Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Phoenix’s Blood was a Divine Artifact, it would be quite difficult for her to use it again accurately. Now that her task was complete, there was no need to stay here anymore. This old man seemed quite formidable, and she was not confident about her chances of winning against him. With that thought, she gracefully returned to the continental Mage Guild.
Levi let out a soft sigh and said, "The eighteenth match goes to the continental Mage Guild. In one minute, the nineteenth match will begin. Please both sides prepare."
As soon as Xuan Yue returned to the camp of the continental Mage Guild, she found the atmosphere heavy. All the magicians, including Ah Dai, were silent, frowning as if they were facing a difficult problem.
"What’s going on with you guys? Didn’t I just win? Why aren’t you happy at all?"
Feng Zhi looked at her with admiration and sighed, "If we had known beforehand that you possessed the level of a magical instructor, if we had known Larthas was here, we would definitely not have let you compete just now. The score between us and Tian Jing Mage Guild is nine to nine, only the final critical match remains. However, the other side still has Larthas, who is known as the number one magical attacker on the continent. None of us stand a chance against him. We are set for defeat. Alas, our efforts are about to go to waste. Are we really going to be defeated by these people who go against the true teachings?"
Xuan Yue furrowed her brow and looked at Ah Dai. She knew well that if Ah Dai were to use all his strength, he would more than surpass her. She smiled and said, "Don’t worry, there’s still my big brother! Big brother, it seems you have no choice but to participate now."
Feng Zhi glanced at Ah Dai. Although they had heard that Ah Dai had once summoned a dragon, the abilities he had shown just now were all martial arts skills. Whether he could successfully summon a Silver Dragon in the match was uncertain, and this was cause for worry. But now, there was no better candidate than Ah Dai. Feng Zhi sighed, "We have no choice but to trouble Elder Ah Dai. But this is a duel between two Mage Guilds, and martial arts cannot be used!"
Xuan Yue was slightly taken aback and looked at Ah Dai, whose expression was grave. "Big brother, this..."
Ah Dai sighed, touching the Dragon’s Blood at his chest. "I’ll just have to give it a try." He did not know whether he could withstand Larthas using the Light Magic powered by Dragon’s Blood. Ah Dai was the kind of person who would respond to a drop of kindness with a gushing spring. Ever since he left Stone Pond Town to venture through the continent, the continental Mage Guild had helped him a lot. Now that the Mage Guild was facing an existential crisis, how could he just stand by? If the continental Mage Guild were driven out of Andis City, it would mean their gradual decline.
Xuan Yue, who had initially relaxed, tensed up again. Considering how Larthas had managed to use two shields of the Fire God in a short span of time, his magical level could only be described as unfathomable. Without using martial arts, Ah Dai would probably find it hard to compete with him. Xuan Yue removed the Ring of Guardian from her finger, chanted a spell, and personally placed it on Ah Dai’s hand, whispering, "Big brother, do your best, and don’t force yourself if it’s too much. That old man’s attacks are certain to be very powerful; you need to be careful. Make sure to utilize the Divine Artifacts on you!"
Feeling both the warmth and coolness from Xuan Yue’s fingers, Ah Dai’s heart warmed. A surging fighting spirit began to rise within him. His eyes were filled with confidence as he nodded firmly.
Suddenly, Xuan Yue’s eyes brightened as if she had thought of something.
Ah Dai heard Xuan Yue’s voice in his mind, "Big brother, I have an idea. Your Living True Qi and Light Magic are very similar. If you use it only for defense, that old man might not notice. Just hold off his first wave of attacks, then summon Sheng Xie for assistance, and there’s a good chance for victory."
Ah Dai was momentarily stunned, then whispered back, "But that would be against the rules!"
Xuan Yue smiled, "As long as no one else knows, it’s not breaking the rules. It’s just too bad that the Ring of Guardian’s Absolute Defense hasn’t recovered yet; otherwise, we’d be even more confident. Big brother, you mustn’t hold back at the crucial moment. Given the opponent’s deep cultivation, if you fall behind, you might not have a chance to counterattack."
Ah Dai gave a wry smile, "How could I hold back? Facing such a powerful opponent, I wouldn’t dare not give it my all."
At this moment, Levi in the arena looked at the sky, which was growing dark, and announced loudly, "Good, the final match for both sides will now begin. Please enter the arena, contestants."
Xuan Yue gave Ah Dai’s hand a firm squeeze, conveying an encouraging look. Ah Dai took a deep breath, glanced at the people from the continental Mage Guild, and stepped out resolutely from his team.
Larthas was taken aback when he saw Ah Dai walking towards him. He had naturally seen how Ah Dai had broken through Goris’s attack using his fighting spirit. Ah Dai’s display of strength filled him with apprehension. He snorted coldly, "This is a matter between our two Guilds. Outsiders should not intervene."
