144: Chapter 144 The Fifth-Order Mage's Doubts
[Rank: Saint Mage Peak]
[Elements: Space, Lightning]
[Special Abilities:]
[Dual-Element Constitution: Can use two types of elements]
[Void Walk...]
This Spell costs fifty thousand experience points.
He currently only has thirty-one thousand eight hundred, so he can't create it for now.
But Lin Fan wasn't worried; one trip out of the city to hunt a few Demonic Beasts would be enough to gather the experience.
He decided to exit the creation interface first and return once he had saved enough experience.
This Spell was definitely worth the price; it would be of great use in many situations.
Lin Fan pondered to himself how long a Spell swallowed by the vortex could be stored, and whether it could swallow Demonic Beasts along with it.
Since it could swallow magic, theoretically, it should be able to swallow Demonic Beasts too, right?
He was curious what would happen to a Demonic Beast sucked into the vortex; he could test it after creating the Spell.
Lin Fan closed the System and went to bed.
Meanwhile.
On the roof of the building Lin Fan had just left.
A few minutes later, a figure quietly appeared.
It was the Fifth-Order Mage who had been sitting in the second VIP box at the auction.
Not long after he appeared.
Jiang Tianhai, Wei Donglin, and the two young people who had been by his side during the auction also arrived one after another.
“I clearly felt it; someone cast a Tier 5 Spell here, but I can't distinguish which element it was.”
The Fifth-Order Mage stood on the roof, looking into the distance with a heavy tone.
Wei Donglin and the other two stood behind him.
“Could it be Mr. Chen?”
The young woman asked.
She knew.
Her teacher had been looking for this Mr. Chen ever since the night of the auction.
Hearing this, the Fifth-Order Mage turned his head sharply, his gaze falling on Wei Donglin and Jiang Tianhai.
“Is it him? Is Mr. Chen a Fifth-Order Mage?”
“But that’s not right; I couldn't see through him at all back then. Even with the boxes separating us, I felt as if I were being seen through completely.”
The Fifth-Order Mage murmured.
Jiang Tianhai and the others did not speak.
They had originally been resting in the Alliance Building.
The Fifth-Order Mage had suddenly rushed in, saying he sensed the fluctuations of a Tier 5 Spell.
No one dared to question him... the last Dark Alliance incident was still fresh in their minds.
They knew the opponent had a Tier 5 powerhouse.
If Mr. Chen hadn't stepped in, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
So everyone immediately followed him to investigate.
But now.
The suspicion had suddenly fallen on Mr. Chen, and they didn't know how to react for a moment.
Is Mr. Chen a Tier 5?
They didn't know.
Mr. Chen had indeed fought the Tier 5 from the Dark Alliance.
But during the battle, he had only used Tier 3 Spells.
“We aren't sure if he is Tier 5 either.”
The group fell silent for a moment before answering truthfully.
“Then what rank do you think he is?”
Wei Donglin and Jiang Tianhai: “...”
A few hours later, dawn arrived. Baiyun City became lively again as people flocked to the arena to watch the second day of the tournament.
Spectators poured in through various entrances, filling the stands.
The students of Longwei Magic Academy arrived at their seats one after another, not coming together by bus like yesterday.
The teachers and the Vice Principal had arrived long ago, and everyone soon gathered together.
Lin Fan entered the venue with his family.
Then they split up, and he returned to the academy's team.
Although it wasn't his turn to compete today, as a member of the academy, he had to sit with everyone else.
Time passed slowly, and the number of people in the arena grew.
At eight in the morning, the tournament officially began.
Projection orbs hovered above the arena, and two referees from the Alliance had already taken the stage.
Without delay, today's schedule appeared in the air, drawing everyone's attention.
Longwei Magic Academy's match was scheduled for the seventh round.
Their opponent was Fengze Magic Academy, which had ranked sixteenth last year.
The first match today.
Was Holy City Magic Academy against Chichao Magic Academy...
One was last year's first place, the other was ninth.
A moment later.
The schedule disappeared, the names of the two academies were projected, and the students walked into the arena.
The two teams faced off quietly.
Everyone could feel the pressure emanating from the students of Chichao Magic Academy.
The entire team consisted of Tier 2 Mages, and one of them was even a Space Element mage.
“Start!”
A referee ordered.
The Chichao Academy students moved immediately.
Summoning stars, four Spells blasted toward the four members of Holy City.
The four Spells were aggressive in Aura.
But the Holy City Academy students remained indifferent.
One of them stepped forward slowly and waved his hand.
A silver-white light shone in his eyes, and silver-white stars appeared behind him, quickly constructing two Star Arrays.
“Space Wall.”
He said softly.
The space in front of him distorted slightly for an instant.
Then it returned to normal, like a water surface being gently disturbed.
The next moment, the opponent's Spells arrived right on time.
Bang!
The four Spells slammed hard against the invisible barrier in front of the youth, unable to advance an inch before dissipating.
The expressions of the four Chichao members didn't change much; they had already seen similar scenes yesterday.
After blocking the attack.
The space mage dispersed the Space Wall and summoned stars again, and two Star Arrays quickly took shape.
“Space Bullet!”
Hearing the name of this Spell.
The two referees instantly moved, rushing in front of the four Chichao students.
One summoned a thick earth wall.
The other took out an item that transformed into a massive circular transparent shield.
Just as the two stood firm, an explosion boomed.
The indestructible Space Bullet, like a speeding train, slammed violently into the earth wall and the golden shield.
Boom...!
The shield-bearing referee's arms shook violently, and his feet slid back several steps on the ground before he stabilized himself.
His arms were numb, but he successfully blocked the Space Bullet and protected the four people behind him.
As for the referee who summoned the earth wall, the several-meter-thick wall was blasted into countless fragments by the Space Bullet.
Fortunately, it was a close call but no one was injured.
The referee immediately announced the end of the match, and the name of Holy City Magic Academy was projected in the air.
The students of Chichao Magic Academy stood there in a daze.
They were lost and confused by this sudden defeat.
The match had started less than a minute ago, and they had already lost, and to a single Spell at that!
Lin Fan sat in his seat, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
As expected of the Space Element.
The referees reacted fast enough.
A second later, and those four proficient-level students behind them would have met a miserable end.
One must know that a Space Bullet could instantly pierce through even common grade or mutant grade Demonic Beasts.
It could even cause heavy damage to some weaker Metamorphic-tier Magic Beasts.
Hitting these students who were only at the proficient-level, their fragile bodies simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Holy City Magic Academy secured another victory.
After the two teams left the arena, the names of the next pair of competing academies appeared.
This round.
Was Heishan Magic Academy against Nightingale Magic Academy.
The students from both teams took the stage, and the match soon began.
The summoner from Heishan immediately cast a summoning Spell, bringing a Demonic Beast into the arena.
A summoner's proficient-level Spell can randomly summon a Demonic Beast to assist in battle.
But they cannot control the species; it depends entirely on luck.
In the last match, this summoner had called forth a giant tiger.
This time, a Rock Snake over twenty meters long slowly crawled out of the Star Array.
Brown rock scales covered its entire body.
Its fangs were several centimeters long.
With blood-red eyes and pitch-black vertical pupils, its appearance was fierce and terrifying.
As soon as it appeared, it intimidated the entire audience.
