---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gorisong wasn’t surprised by the opponent’s sturdy defense. His deep eyes sparkled with excitement, like a beast seeing its prey. He raised his magic wand and chanted, "Fire elements that fill the world! Give me the power of burning, in my name, with your power, appear, burning fire." The purple flame reappeared on the red magic stone at the end of the wand. Gorisong raised the wand and chanted loudly, "Rise, Fire Ball." Ah Dai was all too familiar with this magic spell, it was Meteor Fire.
A small purple fireball about three centimetres in diameter floated out, followed by a row of fireballs of the same size. Under Gorisong’s precise control, they flew towards Yu Yuan one after another. By this time, the previous Purple Flame Soaring Dragon had finally disappeared. Before Yu Yuan could catch his breath, the first fireball had already hit his Water Mirror Technique’s defence.
What Gorisong used was not an ordinary Meteor Fire. With his magical cultivation and deliberate control, the fireball, at the moment of collision with the Water Mirror Technique, burst open just as it was about to rebound. The fireball turned into an explosive flame, causing the Water Mirror Technique to sway slightly. This exquisite magic control instantly had the mages of the Empire of Tian Jing behind Gorisong shouting excitedly.
One violent purple explosion after another bombarded the Water Mirror, and Yu Yuan’s face gradually turned pale, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. Both parties were now in a stalemate. Whoever could maintain their magical power for a longer period would emerge victorious. Gorisong vastly conserved his magic power by bombarding the Water Mirror with low-level magic. From his calm and confident expression, it was apparent he hadn’t expended much energy. Victory was already within his grasp. After the small fireballs hit the same spot repeatedly, Yu Yuan was gradually unable to hold on. Cracks began to form on the Water Mirror, growing larger and larger, obviously on the verge of collapse. In fact, given Yu Yuan’s strength, even if he was weaker than Gorisong, the gap wouldn’t be significant. However, because he had previously suffered a devastating loss, he was unable to fully unleash his strength, allowing Gorisong to seize the opportunity for an attack, leaving him with no strength to counterattack.
Gorisong suddenly shouted, a half-meter diameter purple fireball appeared under his full concentration, floating out with the preceding small fireballs and heading towards Yu Yuan for the final blow.
Ah Dai was taken aback, if this powerful fireball were to hit Yu Yuan, it could mean more than just breaking his defense. Under such a burning flame, he could be reduced to ashes. Ah Dai knew that if someone was killed or injured, it would likely exacerbate the animosity between the two parties. How could he bear to watch Yu Yuan die like this? He activated the Instant Teleportation of Goris’s wish, and in the next moment, he was standing in front of Yu Yuan’s Water Mirror, which was about to shatter. He formed a circle with both hands, and the pale green Life Shield appeared in front of him like a flash of lightning, facing the successive explosions of small fireballs.
Only when Ah Dai truly faced Gorisong’s attack did he fully realize the formidable strength of this purple fireball. Even though it was blocked by the Shield of Life, continuous waves of heat were still being transmitted through the energy of the shield, and the exploding fireball was constantly shaking the defense of the Shield of Life. Ah Dai’s right foot stepped back slightly, steadying his figure, as he used his left hand to support the Shield of Life against the bombardment of the fireball. His right hand morphed into a cyan Shield of Life Sword. He yelled out and swung at the oncoming fireball. The three-centimeter-diameter Little Fireball was limited in power and under the massive energy led by the Shield of Life Sword, a whole row disappeared instantly. But at that moment, the huge purple fireball was already hitting them. Ah Dai stomped on the ground, holding the Shield of Life Sword with both hands; the brilliance of the Golden Body in his Dantian shone brightly as the pure Qi of Life continuously flowed from his hands into the Shield of Life Sword. The Shield of Life Sword’s aura greatly increased as the cyan-colored blade lengthened to three meters. Ah Dai leaped high, abruptly slicing at the fireball. The slice had the power of attraction, to ensure that the aftereffects of the fireball would not harm Yu Yuan behind him. With a ’puff’ sound, the Shield of Life Sword divided the purple fireball into two, and under the powerful drive of the Shield of Life’s Qi, the two halves of the fireball hit the ground with a huge boom. The soil on the ground was vaporized by the fireball, a large pit with a diameter of three meters and a depth of five meters appeared not far in front of Ah Dai.
All the mages were startled by Ah Dai’s sudden presence, and Gorisong’s eyebrows pricked up slightly as he loudly asked: "What? Is your Continental Mage Guild about to gang up on us for being outnumbered?"
Ah Dai had only feelings of kindness towards Gorisong and was at a loss for words in face of his accusation. Feng Zhi darted out, although he also did not know who this youth who suddenly appeared was. Since he rescued Yu Yuan’s life, he naturally was a friend of their side, "Gorisong, we concede this round. Since your attack is so ruthless, don’t blame us for not being merciful."
Gorisong snorted coldly, saying, "I did not expect that the Continental Mage Guild would even summon martial arts experts to help out, I am looking forward to seeing how you will not be merciful. Come on, I’m waiting for you."
The purple-robed alchemist stepped forward, indifferently saying, "Magus Gorisong, please return to your team. Since both sides are competing in magic, they should adhere to the principle of exchange; there should not be intentions to harm each other’s lives. From now on, if either side does anything to put others in a life-threatening situation, I will declare him the loser. The eighth competition, the Empire of Tian Jin Mage Guild wins with a score of five to three. One minute later, the ninth competition begins, I hope both sides will proceed cautiously. If either side can’t control their emotions and a riot breaks out, the Alchemist Guild will never associate with the Mage Guild." Although the Alchemist Guild can be said to be a branch of the Mage Guild, it provides a lot of help to the Mage Guild itself. High-level mages love powerful magical tools, and only alchemists can produce these magical tools. No one does not flatter the alchemist who is rich and powerful.
Gorisong snorted and turned around to return to his team. As he turned around, Ah Dai suddenly heard a hoarse voice deep in his heart, "Kid, are you my big brother’s apprentice, Ah Dai? I’ll find you when this matter here is over. I hope you act wisely and don’t get involved in the feud between the two guilds."
Ah Dai was moved in his heart and was about to reply using a sound transmission method, but Gorisong had already returned to his own team, blending into the crowd of mages. Feng Zhi pulled Ah Dai aside and whispered, "Thank you for your help. Please return to our team with me." After speaking, he led Ah Dai back into the crowd of mages. Yu Yuan had already returned, and due to excessive consumption of magical power, he appeared very weak. Seeing Ah Dai, he gratefully said, "Young man, thank you for saving my life. I didn’t expect that fellow Gorisong to be so powerful. He probably isn’t much weaker than Larthas."
Xuan Yue and Olivia also came over; Olivia said to Feng Zhi with some excitement, "Teacher, let me compete. The Tian Jin Mage Guild is too arrogant."
Feng Zhi furrowed his brows, gently shaking his head and said, "No, you are the guild’s biggest secret. It’s not the time to expose you yet. Weren’t you supposed to stay with the guild? Why did you come over instead?"
Olivia awkwardly explained, "It’s because these two teachers arrived at the guild, and they didn’t know the way, so I led them here. This teacher Ah Dai is also one of our guild’s elders. With him joining, we definitely won’t lose. You can rest assured." Ah Dai breaking Gorisong’s attack left Olivia admiring him to the point of near blindness.
Feng Zhi felt a jolt in his heart. He eyed the young man clothed in a Fire Mage Robe in front of him, asking doubtfully, "You are an elder of the guild? How come I’ve never heard of this?"
Before Ah Dai could reply, Olivia interjected, "Teacher, have you forgotten? A few years ago, the guild appointed a magician who could summon dragons as an elder, which was Elder Ah Dai here! He was passing by and heard about the incident with the guild, so he came to help."
Feng Zhi had definitely heard about it. If it weren’t for the letter of endorsement personally sent by Chairman Kary, he would find it hard to believe that there was a magician on the continent capable of summoning dragons. He exclaimed in surprise, "So it’s you."
At this time, the Purple-robed Alchemist had announced the start of the ninth round. Feng Zhi gave Gu Tian a knowing glance. The Mage Guild on the continent couldn’t afford to lose any more rounds. Since both of the opponent’s magi have already appeared, there was no need for them to hold anything back. They had to regain their lead in the score. Understanding his cue, Gu Tian stepped forward, challenging the opponent.
Feng Zhi was confident in Gu Tian and did not bother observing the round. He looked at Ah Dai and asked, "Young man, are you really an elder of the guild? Did Chairman Kary ask you to come and help us?"
With an awkward smile, Ah Dai replied, "Chairman Kary did ask me to be an elder, but my magic is honestly not up to standard. This time I just happened to be passing by and heard about the conflict between the two guilds, so I came to check on things. Elder Feng Zhi, what’s the current situation?" He initially wanted to ask why they had to fight, but seeing the extreme hostility between the two sides’ mages, he left the question unasked.
Feng Zhi let out a bitter smile, "Originally we were quite confident. The other side only had Pu Tian as their magus, while we have three elders. The other mages are about the same level, we should be able to win at least two more rounds. But as you can see, Gorisong suddenly turned up on their side, and Pu Tian won another round. Even if Gu Tian and I both win, it will only even out the score. As for who will win in the end, that would depend on luck. It’s thanks to your timely arrival that not only was brother Yu Yuan saved, but also it brought us new hope for victory. Since you are also an elder of the guild, you must help the guild win back a round in the following matches. Shock the opponents with your silver dragon summoning, boost our guild’s spirit. Let’s see if those guys dare to act arrogantly."
Ah Dai let out a helpless sigh, "Elder, I really don’t want to get involved in the conflict between the two guilds. Ah — everyone is a magician! Why must it be like this?"
Feng Zhi was taken aback, frowning he said, "The conflict between the two guilds was not caused by us. The other party, feeling cocky by having Larthas the magus on their side, has always been arrogant. Seeing the number of magicians flocking to us, they’ve been eyeing us and have always used improper means to snatch them away. Even though we don’t want conflicts, if people are bullying us on our doorstep, we can’t just take it lying down! Since you are a member of the guild, you should strive for the guild’s honor. Or do you want to watch our orthodox continental Mage Guild fall?"
Suddenly, Xuan Yue said, "Elder Feng Zhi, don’t push my big brother. My brother’s magic to summon dragons is not always successful. Let’s look at the situation. If the opponents are really so formidable that my brother has to step in, he will surely participate in the match. At the same time, you can count me in as well. I believe, winning back a round for you won’t be a problem."
Feng Zhi sized up this proud and handsome young man. Although he was also dressed as a Fire Mage, Feng Zhi could clearly feel the sacred aura he embodied. Even with Feng Zhi’s magus-level power, he still couldn’t see how strong the young man’s magical power was, indicating deep and substantial cultivation. He nodded and said, "Alright then, we’ll decide based on the situation. If we can win, we will not bother Elder Ah Dai."
The ninth round did not hold any suspense. After a few collisions of magic, Gu Tian won easily, defeating an opposing grand magician and changing the score to five to four. Feng Zhi personally went up for the tenth round and easily defeated his opponent, and both sides were back to the same starting point. However, the following matches astonished Feng Zhi and the other two elders. The opponent’s magicians were surprisingly powerful, winning four out of the six following rounds, changing the score to nine to seven. As long as they won one more round, they would secure the final victory. The matches lasted the entire day, the setting sun gradually sank down in the west, its last rays of light dyed the clouds red. At this time, both sides had reached the most critical moment of the competition.
At this point, Feng Zhi was breaking out in a cold sweat. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to the Mage Guild of the continent. This competition was important to the honor of the Mage Guild of the continent. They could not lose. Gritting his teeth, he said to Olivia sitting next to him, "For the sake of the guild’s final victory, you must make a move. Remember, don’t hesitate, start with your strongest attack to defeat the opponent and raise our morale."
The seventeenth round would start with the Mage Guild of the continent sending out their challenger. Excitement blazed in Olivia’s eyes. How glorious it was to fight for the honor of one’s own guild! He walked slowly to the center of the arena and announced loudly, "Grand magician Olivia from the continental Mage Guild asks for instructions." So far, every representative from the two guilds were all seasoned magicians over the age of fifty. When the young Olivia appeared, it immediately elicited scorn from the Tian Jing Mage Guild, and laughter broke out. Indeed! Who would take a young magician seriously?
"Has the continental Mage Guild run out of people? They actually sent out a greenhorn to appear on the battlefield. Would it be better to just admit defeat directly?"
"You just don’t understand. This young magician must be the illegitimate son of that old Kary, trying to save some face for his old man, huh? Haha..."
Listening to the mockery from the other side, Olivia didn’t get angry. He still had a faint smile on his face, saying, "Who is willing to teach me?" He has been exposed to magic since he was five, his passion for magic surpasses anyone else’s. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have achieved so much at such a young age. He knows deep down that to fully utilize his power in a magic duel, having a stable mindset is the most important. The other party’s mockery was nothing but boring noises in his ears, unable to draw his attention. Elder Feng Zhi watched his favorite student maintain composure and showed a satisfied smile.
Pu Tian and Gorisong had a quick discussion. They had three chances for their final victory and naturally, they were not in a rush, so they send out a senior Water Mage to fight.
The senior Water Mage, about sixty years old, was fat and short. His mage robe tightly wrapped his "plump" figure. His chubby face wore a slight scornful smile. Wielding a long-handled magic wand that was greatly out of proportion with his figure, he pointed at Olivia and said, "Tang De of the Tian Jing Mage Guild, a senior Water Mage, is here to teach you. Boy, prepare to be frozen into a popsicle." His words once again caused laughter from his fellow guild members. Actually, Pu Tian and Gorisong did not underestimate Olivia like their subordinates. Tang De was quite famous within the Tian Jing Mage Guild. He was as arrogant as Gorisong, but he also had the strength to be so. Among the guild’s senior mages, he was the best, and was already approaching the level of a magus. Hence, he was entrusted with this important task.
During the whole competition so far, Olivia had been meditating at the back of the team, recovering the magic power he had lost. He was now in his best state. Despite knowing how powerful his opponent is, he did not feel fear. He believed that his dearly loved magic would surely defeat the enemy. With a wave of his hand, a space rift appeared, and the Staff of Wind God floated into Olivia’s hand.
The usage of a space rift instantly silenced the laughter from the Tian Jing Mage Guild. All mages knew that this magic could only be utilized by advanced mages, or even senior mages.
Tang De squinted his already small eyes, glancing at the Staff of Wind God in Olivia’s hand that didn’t seem to have any remarkable feature and said, "Boy, let’s begin. Gentle water, condense into ice, accumulate but do not diffuse, ever freeze light, burst forth, Power of Water Element." What he had used was a sixth-degree Water Magic called Extreme Freezing Ice Sphere, just like Yu Yuan. Under his deliberate control, the blue light continually gathered in front of him and the size of the Ice Sphere rapidly increased with sharp icicles protruding from it. Soon, the magic had gradually formed.
Contrary to Tang De who used a high-level spell, Olivia was not prepared to clash directly with him. He swiftly applied a Wind Sailing Technique on himself, his body floated towards Tang De. Directly enhancing basic magic with the Staff of Wind God, an elementary Wind Blade was cast towards Tang De without any incantations. Tang De was taken aback but didn’t dodge. As mages, who generally aren’t adept at close-quarters combat, almost everyone has their own abilities to defend against close-range attacks. Tang De was no exception, a magic scroll flew out, a water curtain diffused, instantly blocking Olivia’s attack.
Olivia did not stop her wind blades, which constantly bombarded Tang De’s water curtain, one after the other. However, wind blades were considered low-level magic. While they managed to distract Tang De somewhat, they were insufficient to break his protective water curtain, and his freezing sphere was still stiffly growing. Tang De sneered inwardly, knowing that once his level six attack magic had formed, the young man before him would meet his end.
It seemed as if Olivia had not noticed the alarming strength of the freezing sphere as she relentlessly launched her wind blades at the water curtain. Finally, Tang De’s magic was complete. Under his control, the enormous freezing sphere with a diameter of one meter, trailed by a blue flame, rapidly crashed towards Olivia. Instead of dodging, Olivia lifted her Staff of Wind God. Just as the freezing sphere was about to collide with her, the special function of her staff activated. Suddenly, Olivia split into nine, scattering in a line with lightning speed. Although the freezing sphere was large, it could only pass through two of the clones, leaving the true Olivia untouched. Tang De was startled and hastily used all his mental energy to pull back and retract the freezing sphere. He had never seen such a Shadow Splitting spell before.
Taking this opportunity, Olivia chanted loudly, "Free wind elements! I beg you, condense into a sharp and firm blade and destroy the enemy before you." Nine forms, mimicking the same gestures and lip movements, repeated the same spell. An unexpected spectacle that shocked the mages of the Tian Jing Mage Guild. A blue light gathered on their Staffs of Wind God and simultaneously nine wind blades shot out. Facing this unusual phenomenon, Tang De dared not carelessly attack and prepared to react at any moment, controlling the floating freezing sphere in front of him.
The nine wind blades sped toward Tang De like lightning and paused at a distance of five meters from the freezing sphere. Nine sources of energy suddenly merged into one, turning the small wind blade into a huge, indestructible azure blade that descended suddenly. Tang De, utterly surprised, pushed out his freezing sphere in an attempt to block the attack. But the power of the compressed wind blade had far surpassed a level two magic spell.
"Squeak—", a piercing sound of friction arose as the freezing sphere split into two halves just like Ah Dai had split Gorisong’s fireball. Weakened, the huge azure wind blade went straight for Tang De without mercy. Tang De could clearly feel the enormous power contained in this magic. It was not something that his water curtain could resist. He let out a silent gasp, his life was at an end. He closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.
The moment the wind blade was about to strike Tang De, it twisted unexpectedly, turning its blade away and sweeping Tang De’s body with the force of elemental wind, the massive blow threw him back to his camp. The mages of the Tian Jing Mage Guild unexpectedly were knocked down as well, even though Tang De’s life was spared due to this.
The light fades and the nine images of Olivia merged back into one. Her face paled as she gasped for air, but the excitement in her eyes could not be hidden. She finally managed to reclaim a victory for the Mage Guild of the continent. Her performance won huge cheers from her own side, such a marvelous display of magic was indeed breathtaking. Only Elder Feng Zhi felt it was a narrow escape. He knew very well the strength of Olivia, if it was a fair fight, she was no match for Tang De. This victory was achieved solely with the aid of the Staff of the Wind God. But a win was a win after all, bringing a glimmer of hope to the Mage Guild of the continent.
The purple-robed Alchemist walked up to Olivia, gave her an approving nod, took a glance at the Staff of the Wind God, and said, "The seventeenth round, the Mage Guild of the Continent wins, the current score is nine to eight. The eighteenth round will start in one minute, both sides please prepare." Just as Olivia was about to return to her side, she heard the Alchemist whisper, "You’re wielding a Divine Artifact, aren’t you?"
Olivia gave a slight jolt inside, but she didn’t hide anything and nodded slightly. She sent the Staff of the Wind God back to her space and bowed slightly to the alchemist before returning to her lineup.
Feng Zhi didn’t pay attention to Olivia, who was enthusiastically greeted by the magicians, but instead focused on Ah Dai. Of course, Ah Dai understood his meaning, and sighed in his heart, "Looks like I have to step in." He was about to float into the arena for the next contest, but a red figure was faster, floating out and landing in the center. It was Xuan Yue, wearing the robe of an advanced fire mage.
The eighteenth round was supposed to be a challenge put forward by the Empire of Tian Jing Mage Guild, but Pu Tian and Gorisong were both taken aback when the other side sent out a competitor first.
Xuan Yue took off her red robe and threw it aside to reveal her civilian clothes. In a calm voice, she said, "Advanced Light Magician Xuan Re of the Continental Mage Guild would like to engage in battle, who will come forward?"
Pu Tian and Goris’s hearts tightened at the same time. Although Xuan Yue only referred to herself as an advanced magician, Olivia’s earlier appearance had already put them on high alert. Pu Tian said in a low voice to Gorisong, "How come the Continental Mage Guild has a Light Magician? Could the church have sent someone to help them fight us?"
Gorisong shook his head and said, "Unlikely, our status in the Church has always been higher than that of the Empire of Huasheng. If the Church were to help, they would help us. This boy is even younger than the previous one, and light magic is not easy to practice. Maybe he’s just bluffing. However, we can’t afford to lose again, otherwise, we’ll be back to square one. Let’s not care about others, let’s let him go, we must succeed in one battle."
Pu Tian nodded. This contest was of great importance to the Empire of Tian Jing Mage Guild, as they had always been at a disadvantage in their invisible competition with the other side. If they could win this time, even if they couldn’t replace the position of the Continental Mage Guild, at least they could compete equally. He made a gesture to a fire magician beside him. The man nodded and stood out from the crowd, heading towards Xuan Yue in the arena, his clear voice ringing out, "Fire Magus Kino of the Empire of Tian Jing Mage Guild would like to engage in battle."
Feng Zhi and the other two elders were greatly surprised, they hadn’t expected that there would be another Magus in the opposing team, and this Magus was one they had never seen before. They had never seen Xuan Yue’s level of magic either. The hope that had just ignited suddenly vanished, and they all looked anxious.
Xuan Yue had stepped up because she was worried about Ah Dai. When she heard that the opponent was calling himself a Magus, she was also shocked, looked up at him. The fire magician standing before her was a young man in his twenties, seemingly older than Olivia. His fiery red magician robe bore only the mark of a high-level magician, but judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from him, he indeed had the level of a Magus. The young man looked ordinary, with some of the same awkardness as Ah Dai, holding a short magic wand in his hand and looking at her. Xuan Yue was about to prepare to attack him, but his words almost made her faint on the spot.
Looking at the boy, who was even younger than him and called himself a high-level magician, Kino couldn’t help but hesitate. He tentatively said, "Little brother, you should go back and bring someone else. My fire magic can be very domineering. It would be a shame if it were to burn your beautiful face. Even if it just burns your clothes, it would make you feel awkward! Please step down, let someone else come."
"Bullshit, who is your little brother? If you can, go ahead and burn me," Xuan Yue, who was already fuming, was almost incoherent. She had never been looked down upon like this before. With a wave of her hand, she took out her Angel Wand from a space rift. Her anger was boosting her spiritual power to its peak, and without any cover, the golden holy light suddenly burst out, surrounding her body in a three-foot radius. The vast sacred aura was rising to the sky, and the brilliant divine light made Xuan Yue seem so unreachable.
All the magicians on the scene calmed down. Although they were not clear about the level of power, the overwhelming holy power still took them by surprise, causing them to start discussing in astonishment.
"Such a young Light Magus, it’s incredible! It seems like the Church truly is much more powerful than the Mage Guild." A low voice rang beside Gorisong’s ear. He was surprised and looked back at a tall fire mage standing behind him, and said in a low voice, "Are you saying that this boy is a Magus?"
"Yes, he’s very strong, but it seems like he just reached the level of a Magus not long ago, and his aura isn’t very stable yet. If I were to face him, it would probably be a draw. After all, it’s Sacred Light Magic." Light Magic had a certain advantage over the basic four elemental magics.
Gorisong’s arrogance had disappeared, and he said with a tremble, "So does it mean we are going to lose this round?"
