53: Chapter 53 The Goddess's Disarray

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He never expected that this girl would dare to actively approach Su Linlin.

"A bit interesting."

He muttered to himself.

The spell "Gale Step" has a similarity to the lightning-type "Lightning Cage"...

As long as the caster is willing, the spell effect will not dissipate on its own.

"Lightning Cage" allows a lightning-type mage to immobilize a target while still being able to cast other spells;

while "Gale Step" condenses a pair of boots made of magic power on the mage's feet, significantly increasing the caster's movement speed.

The girl currently fighting Su Linlin is the best proof of this spell's practicality.

Just like "Lightning Cage".

As long as the girl has magic power supporting it within her.

These magic boots will not disappear, and the spells do not interfere with each other; she can still cast other moves simultaneously.

Despite this, the girl's actions still stunned everyone.

Not only the teachers off the stage, but even her opponent, Su Linlin, revealed a look of astonishment.

No one expected that she would charge straight towards Su Linlin.

After all, most wind-type mages treat this spell as a life-saving escape method rather than a charging skill to rush at enemies.

Lin Fan thought of his own combat style of close-quarters entanglement with magical beasts.

This is completely different from the fighting style of other students.

Right now, only this wind-type girl's fighting style is somewhat similar to his.

His favor for this girl increased instantly, and he began to look forward to the subsequent developments with great interest.

On the other side, although Su Linlin was surprised by the girl's charge, her expression remained calm.

While dodging, she completed the condensation of a Star Pattern, and another giant fireball whistled towards her opponent.

Swoosh!

The fireball tore through the air, its speed astonishingly fast.

But the wind-type girl transformed into a yellow afterimage, narrowly dodging the attack, and continued to approach Su Linlin.

The fireball landed on the ground in the distance, exploding with a boom, shaking the entire arena slightly.

And that wind-type girl was already getting closer and closer to Su Linlin.

Judging by this distance, she could completely rush to in front of Su Linlin before Su Linlin could condense the next Star Pattern!

Su Linlin naturally realized this point, but she still summoned the star points without hesitation.

Five scorching sparks floated above her head, not rushing to connect, just hovering quietly like that.

The wind-type girl had already arrived in front of her.

The girl's feet slid sharply on the arena, stopping steadily in front of Su Linlin, and what she swung out next was... a punch.

Everyone: "..."

A punch?

Which mage with a normal brain would use fists to attack another mage?!

The students all felt this was an extremely stupid move, but Lin Fan and the teachers around him didn't think so.

On the contrary, they felt this move was quite clever.

Borrowing the huge inertia brought by the sprint, this seemingly simple punch might be able to directly knock out some First-Order Mages.

Crack!

The wind-type girl's fist tore through the air, bringing up a faint sonic boom, smashing fiercely towards Su Linlin.

At this moment, she had stopped her steps and was no longer that afterimage that people couldn't see clearly; Su Linlin could clearly capture her movements.

Moreover, her punching speed was far less fast than her footsteps when running.

Su Linlin reacted quickly, sidestepping and easily dodging this punch.

Seeing this, the girl immediately rushed forward again, taking advantage of Su Linlin not having steadied her footing, and launched an attack once more.

Her fists and kicks were continuously directed towards Su Linlin, but every time they were narrowly dodged by Su Linlin.

The girl's movement speed was indeed very fast.

But that was limited to when she was running, and it did not mean her physical movements were equally swift.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, solely in terms of physical reaction speed, Su Linlin was a notch faster than her.

This is the difference in realm between the two.

And the girl could only rely on "Gale Step" to barely compensate.

In the next few minutes, the battle situation remained in a stalemate just like that.

Every time Su Linlin tried to increase the distance, the girl would immediately chase after her, continuously launching attacks with fists and kicks.

Although Su Linlin had no way to completely shake off her opponent, she could always accurately dodge every attack.

This scene left the spectators in the stands stunned.

"This... is punching people really useful?"

"I know that the higher a mage's realm, the stronger their physical fitness, and their speed will also become faster, but can it really be fast enough to ignore spells?"

"Could it be that Goddess Su Linlin is going to lose?"

"Impossible! Goddess Su Linlin will definitely not lose! Didn't you see? She is simply playing around!"

"Ah, now that you mention it, it really seems so!"

"Isn't it! Look at her opponent, she's sweating profusely, but she still has a relaxed face!"

"Hahaha, it must be Goddess Su Linlin giving her opponent a chance, wanting her to perform well; she is truly so thoughtful!"

The students discussed heatedly while staring unblinkingly at the arena.

Although the scene was repeatedly the same chasing and dodging, each time was more blood-pumping than the last.

Even Lin Fan watched with great interest, secretly hoping the girl could land at least one punch on Su Linlin.

After dodging her opponent's attacks for nearly ten minutes, Su Linlin finally lost patience.

She wasn't playing with her opponent at all; it was clearly that she was truly at her wit's end!

The opponent simply didn't give her any chance to cast spells; this was simply too stifling!

As for her being clearly flustered and exasperated, yet still able to maintain a calm and composed expression, it was just her desperately trying to maintain her image.

She is the academy's genius, the hope of Longwei Magic Academy!

How could she show such a disheveled appearance in this kind of small competition?!

"Enough!"

Su Linlin suddenly snorted coldly.

Just as her feet landed, the wind-type girl's figure appeared before her eyes again, slapping a palm towards her.

This time, Su Linlin did not dodge, but instead extended her right hand, taking this palm strike head-on.

During the previous entanglement.

She deliberately circled around the wind-type girl, making it so the opponent only needed to turn her body to launch an attack.

In this way, this palm strike lost the majestic momentum it had during the previous sprint.

Bang!

The palms met, and Su Linlin used the force to jump backwards, leaping into the air.

She had long anticipated that her opponent would definitely chase after her.

As expected!

The wind-type girl immediately took off in pursuit, preparing to launch another attack the moment Su Linlin landed.

"Idiot."

A cold sneer curled at the corner of Su Linlin's mouth.

The crimson star points that had been hovering behind her for nearly ten minutes.

The moment she was suspended in the air, they suddenly began to move.

In just two breaths of time, they had already connected into a complete Star Pattern!

"Starfire Spell."

Su Linlin softly chanted the incantation, and her figure landed lightly on the ground.
