141: Chapter 141 Dragon's Might

A Tier 2 Mage!

The girl was so frightened that her soul shook.

She never expected that Luo Zhongheng would actually be a Tier 2 Mage!

She hadn't been able to tell at all before!

She immediately retreated, wanting to open up some distance.

But Luo Zhongheng's Star Array was already complete.

"Ice-Binding Chains!"

Luo Zhongheng pointed his right hand at the girl and gave a low shout.

Two Star Arrays hovered at his sides like circular wings.

Two massive ice chains covered in frozen thorns extended from them.

Swoosh...!!!

The two Ice-Binding Chains flew rapidly toward the girl.

And the freezing mist of the Ice Domain she had created herself actually accelerated the speed of the ice chains further.

She had truly shot herself in the foot!

The girl's expression changed abruptly as she hurriedly leaped to dodge.

Bang!

The Ice-Binding Chains missed hitting her by only a split second.

They smashed heavily into the spot where she had just been standing.

They let out a heavy, dull thud but did not stop.

In the next moment, they chased after her again.

It was as if they had eyes; no matter where she fled, they pursued her relentlessly.

The girl was both angry and anxious, concentrating fully on dodging the pursuing Ice-Binding Chains.

If she were even a step slow, she would be defeated instantly.

But just as she dodged the ice chains, a thick, long vine suddenly appeared in front of her!

Unable to dodge in time, she could only watch with a face full of terror as the long vine slammed hard into her body.

Sharp pain swept through her entire body as she was sent flying, rolling across the ground.

The girl cursed incessantly in her heart.

Where the hell did this damned vine come from?!

The young woman crashed onto the ground, and before she could even crawl up,

She felt something icy wrap around her body, an ice-thorn-like chill piercing her skin as intense pain hit her again.

Without even looking, she knew these were Luo Zhongheng's Ice-Binding Chains.

The spikes on the ice chains punctured her skin in several places, and blood seeped out, staining her uniform and the ice chains a dark red.

With cold and stinging pain intertwined, the girl's face twisted in agony, yet she didn't dare to struggle...

Doing so would only result in even worse injuries.

Her whole body froze as she was bound layer upon layer by the ice chains and slowly lifted off the ground.

She looked with a grim expression at the vine that had just whipped her away.

Following the vine with her gaze,

She saw a green Star Array hovering above Qiao Liya's head.

Not far away, her team's Earth-element Mage had already been bound by another vine, unable to move.

Qiao Liya had long since dealt with her opponent and had specifically come over to help Luo Zhongheng.

The girl's heart was filled with despondency.

With two of their side already down, this match was basically lost; her heart was full of resentment.

Longwei Magic Academy had only been one rank higher than them in the last term.

How could the gap in strength be so large this term?

It was truly frustrating.

After dealing with the two from Yunkong Academy,

Luo Zhongheng and Qiao Liya immediately went to support Feng Zheng and Liu Yingjun.

Liu Yingjun and the Wind-element Mage were fighting more or less evenly.

The opponent kept trying to use Haste to close in for melee combat.

But Liu Yingjun didn't give him any chance at all, using extremely fast casting speed to force the opponent back repeatedly.

He also retreated in sync, always maintaining a safe distance.

Even though the opponent was faster, Liu Yingjun could handle it calmly.

Qiao Liya arrived to support Liu Yingjun.

One vine was still binding the opponent's Earth-element Mage.

She immediately activated a second vine to attack that Wind-element Mage.

A two-on-one situation was thus formed.

Qiao Liya pursued relentlessly with her vine, while Liu Yingjun constantly threw out Water Blades to flank him.

Beset by enemies on both sides, the Wind-element Mage soon revealed a flaw.

Facing the simultaneous attack of the Water Blades and the vine,

He didn't have time to think and instinctively dodged the higher-damage Water Blade, lifting his foot to kick away the snake-like vine.

But as soon as his toe touched the vine,

The vine quickly wrapped around his leg like a spring, locking tight and lifting his entire person into the air.

The Wind-element Mage still wouldn't give up, wanting to cast a Wind Blade to cut the vine.

But Liu Yingjun's voice rang out first.

He had already constructed his Star Array.

With just a single thought, he could fire a Water Blade at the man in the air.

As for the duel between Feng Zheng and that female Fire Mage,

The moment Luo Zhongheng arrived on the scene, the battle ended instantly.

Before that, Feng Zheng had been pushed to his limit by the opponent; his uniform was charred in several places, his hair was curled from the high temperature, and he was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

Yet that young woman still looked composed.

Even though they both belonged to the fire element, the difference between the two was clear at a glance.

As soon as Luo Zhongheng arrived, he immediately threw out another ice chain at the girl.

Seeing this, Feng Zheng understood and immediately coordinated to pin her down.

The girl dodged the ice chain and quickly summoned her stars.

Before the ice chain could loop back, she fired a fireball at Luo Zhongheng first.

Luo Zhongheng had no choice but to recall the ice chain to intercept the massive fire.

The two spells collided, exploding into a scorching mist in the arena.

But just then,

The girl suddenly discovered several small flames appearing around her.

Her pupils constricted.

She wanted to leap away, but it was already too late.

"Burst!"

As Feng Zheng's voice fell, a series of explosions rose in response.

The fire swallowed the girl, and the shockwave sent her flying violently, leaving a trail of black smoke behind her.

Bang!

She smashed heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away and couldn't get up for a long time.

Her uniform was covered in scorch marks, her face was stained with black soot, and wisps of green smoke were still rising from her hair.

Longwei Magic Academy wins!

The referee immediately announced the result, and the academy's name was projected into the air.

The whole stadium erupted in cheers as the students of Longwei loudly called out the names of the four.

Although this victory wasn't a crushing dominance like the top five academies,

Under the performance of Luo Zhongheng and Qiao Liya, it was still a very beautiful win.

The four of them released the restraints on the Yunkong Academy students and walked off the arena.

They returned to Teacher Xu Linjiao's side, who was already beaming with smiles.

This was the academy's first match.

The first victory was undoubtedly an excellent start.

Teacher Xu Linjiao took them back to the spectator stands, where they were greeted by a burst of cheers and a heated atmosphere.

"Senior Luo Zhongheng is amazing!"

"Qiao Liya, you're too great, so cool!"

"Hahaha, Feng Zheng, you were almost beaten flat by that beauty just now; luckily Luo Zhongheng saved the day."

"Stop laughing at him, that girl was weird to begin with; it's good enough that he held out."

"Liu Yingjun is the pride of our Water-element! Didn't you see how he beat that Wind-element guy?"

"Of course, otherwise why would the tournament slot be his and not mine? His foundation in the water element is solid; even some fire and lightning mages are no match for him."

The students laughed and joked, everyone looking jubilant.

The four of them returned to their seats with satisfied smiles.

"Well done, you all performed very well."

The Vice Principal said to them.

"Thank you, Vice Principal."

The four of them responded with smiles, and excitement sparkled in Qiao Liya's eyes.

Yang Yong looked at the four who had secured the first win for the academy and nodded.

But as soon as his gaze turned to Lin Fan, his expression immediately changed 180 degrees.

He gave a cold snort and turned his face away.

Lin Fan: "..."

He was just sitting there minding his own business; who was he bothering?

This person just had to look for trouble.

He really wanted to throw a punch over.

"I just don't know if he'd survive one punch... forget it, I can't be bothered with him."

Lin Fan grumbled inwardly.

He turned his attention back to the arena.

The next team had already taken the field, and the match was about to begin.
