64: Chapter 64 Magic Items
"You bastard! Don't look at me with that kind of gaze!"
Yang Xing was thoroughly enraged.
He waved his hands again, controlling two vines as he launched a frenzied attack at Lin Fan.
He truly couldn't understand why Lin Fan was able to dodge his vine attacks. This made him seethe with anger.
Lin Fan sighed helplessly. "Even now, don't you understand?"
He spoke softly, his eyes instantly glowing with a silvery-white light.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm open. Five brilliant silvery-white star points appeared behind him.
Silvery-white threads of magic power quickly intertwined, and in just one second, a complete Star Pattern condensed and formed.
This time, he didn't even need two seconds!
Seeing this, Yang Xing's face suddenly turned ugly, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
He hurriedly urged his magic power, desperately accelerating the attack speed of his vines.
Facing the rapidly approaching vines, Lin Fan remained unfazed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly spat out three words: "Telekinesis Control."
As his words fell, Yang Xing, who was fully focused on controlling the vines, suddenly felt an invisible, immense force violently grip his body.
"Urgh!" Yang Xing groaned, a look of pain appearing on his face.
That power was simply too strong. He instantly lost control of the two vines.
Bang! Bang! The two uncontrolled vines slammed heavily onto the ground, emitting two loud bangs that echoed throughout the entire arena.
At the same time, Lin Fan's extended right hand lifted slightly, his palm facing Yang Xing, who was suspended in mid-air.
His cloak and hair fluttered in the wind. The silvery-white light flickering in his eyes was like swirling white mist, mysterious and powerful.
"Wh-what the hell is this?! Hurry up and put me down!"
Yang Xing shouted in terror, his legs kicking wildly in the air. He struggled desperately, wanting to break free from that invisible restraint.
But his limbs felt as if they were firmly locked by iron pincers; he couldn't move at all. This scene was truly too humiliating.
Seeing that Lin Fan had subdued Yang Xing so easily, the audience below was once again shocked beyond measure.
He had actually used only one spell to play his opponent like a puppet.
In a corner of the arena, Su Linlin sat quietly in her seat, her gaze coldly fixed on Lin Fan on the ring.
She gently bit her lower lip, her face full of unwillingness and annoyance. "Bastard!" She cursed in a low voice, her eyes full of resentment.
In another corner, the Vice Principal of Longwei Magic Academy was narrowing her eyes, observing Lin Fan with great interest; no one knew what she was thinking.
On the ring, Yang Xing was still struggling desperately, cursing in frustration as he demanded that Lin Fan put him down.
The Referee Teachers looked at each other, hesitating whether to step in and stop it.
Theoretically, the Space Element is indeed stronger than most elements in certain situations, especially during a direct confrontation.
However, this advantage is mostly manifested in higher-tier mages. At the introductory stage of a mage, the Space Element actually doesn't have much of an advantage.
Because opponents of the same level can completely break free from control by relying on strong magic power. The strength of spells like Telekinesis Control depends entirely on the mage's own magical foundation.
If the opponent's magic power is stronger than the caster's, then they only need to struggle a little to easily break free from the restraint.
It is precisely because of this that the Referee Teachers were hesitant. They were unsure if Yang Xing could break free from the control using his own strength.
If the teachers intervened now, Yang Xing would be directly judged as having lost. But if Yang Xing actually had the ability to break free, then such a ruling would be too unfair to him.
Just as the teachers were hesitating, Lin Fan watched Yang Xing, who was struggling endlessly in mid-air, his eyes growing colder.
"You want to come down, don't you? Fine, I'll grant your wish." He said indifferently.
He then flicked his wrist downward sharply, making a slapping motion.
Yang Xing's body, like a stone dropped by a heavy weight, suddenly fell from mid-air and smashed hard onto the hard floor of the ring.
Boom! With a loud bang, the entire ring trembled.
The spot where Yang Xing landed was instantly smashed into a shallow pit, and he was buried at the bottom of the pit.
Everyone: "..." Ruthless! Simply too ruthless!
How could Lin Fan be so heavy-handed with his own classmate? What if Yang Xing got hurt?!
"My god, isn't Lin Fan too ruthless? How could he do that?"
"Yeah, he's obviously taking revenge on Yang Xing, right? After all, Yang Xing bullied him quite a bit in the past."
"Even if it's revenge, there's no need to be so extreme, right? What if Yang Xing is seriously injured?"
"This Lin Fan is simply a monster! Is he really just a newly promoted First-Order Mage?"
"It seems we can't underestimate him in the future; his Space Element is simply too terrifying after breaking through to First-Order Mage!"
Listening to the students below discussing and calling his methods cruel, Lin Fan was secretly overjoyed.
But his face remained calm, and he just stared coldly at Yang Xing at the bottom of the pit.
He had deliberately not thrown Yang Xing out of the ring just now; he was waiting for him to get up on his own.
As expected. Not long after, Yang Xing's body at the bottom of the pit twitched violently, and then he slowly climbed out of the pit.
Seeing this, everyone gasped.
What shocked them was not that Yang Xing could still stand up after being smashed like that, but the thin layer of yellow light curtain enveloping his body.
That was a protective magic item!
Judging from the thinness of the light curtain on Yang Xing, the grade of this item was not high; it should be a low-level protective item that used the magic core of a Level 1 magical beast as an energy source.
But even such a low-level item was enough to offset the damage caused by the heavy blow just now, preventing Yang Xing from being seriously injured.
Looking at Yang Xing's appearance now, his hair was disheveled, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Other than that, he was completely unharmed.
Seeing this, the Vice Principal sitting in her seat shook her head helplessly.
"What a waste of a good item; to actually be willing to use a magic item in such a small competition." She thought to herself.
Not just her, many people present felt that using a precious magic item for a school competition was simply too wasteful.
"You bastard! I underestimated you! But I will absolutely not lose to trash like you!"
Yang Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at Lin Fan with resentful eyes, and roared.
He completely ignored the rising and falling discussions around him. He summoned the elemental star points again and began to condense the Star Pattern.
