LRAB Chapter 228 Fierce One-on-One Match
Chapter 228 Fierce One-on-One Match
Chapter 228 Intense Singles Match (1)
"You're probably just a simp for Xin Yuyun. I think only Dongfang Lie from Huoyuan is the real one who can win the top spot."
"Pah, what is Dongfang Lie from the Fire Academy? What right does he have to compare with our Ice Academy's big shot, Si Yichen?"
"Guo Chen from our Dimensional Magic Academy has awakened the Space element at the intermediate level. Ice and fire elements are nothing compared to the Space element. I don't think you've ever heard the saying 'Space is king'."
"Hey bro, isn't the full saying 'Time reigns supreme, space reigns supreme'?"
"Get lost, you two idiots who've been reading fantasy novels until you're stupid! This is a world of magic, not a world of cultivation! And we're talking about today's singles match, what the hell are you talking about?!"
While others were discussing, Jiang Han, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu had already found seats and were waiting for the match to begin. Just a few minutes after Jiang Han, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu sat down, referee Ge Shaorong went up to the stage to announce the rules of today's singles match.
The use of magical tools is prohibited in this individual competition. This means that many students who were lucky enough to pass the revival round in the previous competition will not be so lucky in this individual competition, because this individual competition is a test of the students' true combat strength.
In the individual competition, each participant draws their own number, and then the opponents are assigned by mechanical instruments. Luckily, some participants might get a bye, but the probability of that is extremely low.
After receiving his number, Jiang Han smiled upon seeing the number on it. Ai Tutu, who had also received a number, asked in confusion, "Jiang Han, what are you laughing at? And what's your number?"
"Here, see for yourself." Jiang Han said, tossing the number plate in his hand to Ai Tutu.
"You're really lucky! Mine is 732," Ai Tutu said with a smile after seeing the number in her hand.
"The match starts in a few minutes, let's go back to our seats," Mu Nujiao said calmly as she walked out.
"Okay." Jiang Han nodded and returned to his seat with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.
The trainees assigned by the machines were quickly projected onto the virtual screen at the very center of the training ground. Then, the trainees appearing on the virtual screen began to enter their respective arenas one after another.
The number of arenas in the trial arena remains at 50. During the revival matches, the arenas are frequently destroyed by stronger students, leaving the high-level earth mages responsible for repairing them exhausted these past few days.
After seeing that all the trainees had arrived at their respective arenas, Ge Shaorong, standing on the training ground, announced loudly, "The competition begins!!"
After leaving the training ground, Ge Shaorong instructed the high-level instructors who were assisting him to open the defensive barrier. He then vigilantly watched the battle in the training ground. The people competing below were all the best students of their Pearl Academy. If there were any casualties or injuries in this competition, it would be a loss to the academy for their cultivation foundation.
In the training grounds, there were fierce battles, and naturally, there were also those who surrendered immediately. It wasn't that these surrendering students didn't want to fight their opponents; it was mainly because the two were not on the same level. For example, Mo Yu on the fourth arena, he mainly cultivated the fire element and secondarily the wind element, and he had cultivated the two elements to the middle level three and middle level two, respectively.
If he had encountered an ordinary opponent, Mo Yu might have been able to break into the top 500. However, his opponent in the first match was Dongfang Lie, the strongest in their Fire Academy. The difference in strength between the two was too great, and there was no hope of winning. If he could use magical tools, he might be able to struggle with the mobility of wind. But now that he couldn't use magical tools, fighting Dongfang Lie would be pure torture.
Just as Dongfang Lie was about to raise his hand to connect with the star track, Mo Yu spoke first, saying, "Dongfang Senior, don't do it. I surrender, I surrender."
"Hmm." Dongfang Lie nodded and turned to leave the arena.
After Dongfang Lie and Mo Yu stepped off the arena, a red line appeared on the virtual screen above the training ground representing Mo Yu's number 672, while Dongfang Lie's white number 472 turned into a blue number 1, indicating that Dongfang Lie was the first student to advance to the next individual competition.
The battle between Dongfang Lie and Moyu came to an end, and there were many discussions in the audience. Many people felt sorry for Moyu's fate, but most of them were concerned about the battle between Fan Xing'an from the Water Academy and Xue Tan from the Fire Academy on the sixth arena.
"What a pity, Mo Yu was just unlucky to run into Dongfang Lie, who is capable of winning this friendly match."
"Let's forget about the battle between Mo Yu and Dongfang Lie, and talk about the battle between Fan Xing'an and Xue Tan. Who will win?"
"He's definitely rooting for Fan Xing'an from our Water Academy. His Storm Wave and Ice Lock combo is a natural counter to Xue Tan, who majors in fire magic."
"So what if he's a natural counter? Xue Tan, who specializes in fire magic, isn't bad either. Most importantly, he's also proficient in shadow magic."
"Water and ice types do have a natural advantage over fire types, and Fan Xing'an is quite adept at using water and ice types. As long as he doesn't encounter Dongfang Lie, Guo Chen, Wang Ling, Xin Yujun, and Jiang Han too early in the singles competition, he definitely has a chance to advance to the top 50 or even the top 20."
"Also, it's daytime now, and there's no shade on the arena for Xue Tan to get used to the Shadow Step."
In the end, the Fire Academy students who had initially supported Xue Tan fell silent. There was no way around it; Fan Xing'an's ranking in the top three of the Water Academy was no joke, it was based on real strength. Secondly, Xue Tan's Shadow Step was indeed unusable during the day, but the Giant Shadow Nail was different; if Xue Tan used it properly, there was still a chance.
On arena number six in the lower training ground, Xue Tan and Fan Xing'an made their moves simultaneously after Ge Shaorong announced the start of the match.
As red starlight shone on Xue Tan, deep blue starlight also shone on Fan Xing'an. Immediately afterwards, a ball of flame ignited in Xue Tan's hand. When Xue Tan unleashed the flame, several water wave shields appeared in front of Fan Xing'an.
The ball of flame that Xue Tan unleashed roared towards Fan Xing'an and then exploded with a bang. The scorching fireball exploded and formed a sizable fire wave that crashed towards Fan Xing'an. The fire wave struck the water wave shield and instantly formed countless white water vapors.
After the fire wave disappeared, the entire arena was filled with white water vapor. As the white mist enveloped the arena, black starlight shone on Xue Tan's body and then turned into a shadow and disappeared from his original position. At the same time, as Fan Xing'an was enveloped in the mist, sky-blue star trails appeared around him. Finally, the numerous star trails intertwined to form a star map under Fan Xing'an's feet.
"Ice Lock - Vast Wilderness!!!" As the star map was completed, a sky-blue starlight shone in Fan Xing'an's eyes.
In an instant, the entire arena was filled with a chilling aura, and white water vapor within it turned into countless ice shards that fell to the ground.
A deep chasm appeared on the frozen arena, and then several ice crystal chains shot out from the chasm. Under Fan Xing'an's control, the ice crystal chains transformed into giant ice pythons. After the water vapor on the arena dissipated, Xue Tan, who had been hiding in the shadows, was forced to reveal himself.
As soon as Xue Tan revealed himself, he saw the giant ice python on the arena. Upon seeing the giant ice python, Xue Tan knew in his heart that something was wrong.
"Xue Tan, you have no chance. Surrender." Fan Xing'an said calmly, looking at Xue Tan who had been forced to reveal himself.
As he spoke, the giant ice python, under Fan Xing'an's control, flicked its forked tongue, which resembled a sharp, icy sword. Facing the giant ice python flicking its forked tongue, Xue Tan remained completely calm, and even his body glowed with red starlight.
"Surrender? How do you know I won't win if you haven't tried?" As he spoke, Xue Tan raised his hand and unleashed several balls of fire at the giant ice python.
