Chapter 87: Chapter 77: Second-Ring Advanced Magic – High-temperature Steaming Kill! (Please follow)

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them turned to look at the Grand Wizard acting as the referee.

Helram wasted no time and spoke directly,

“Begin!”

As his words fell, Lynn made his move first, grabbing the advantage. In any battle, seizing the advantage was crucial. In an instant, seven “Magic Missiles” formed and shot out like arrows released from a bow.

Luo’er frowned, feeling slightly displeased. Using zero-ring magic as a probe in a formal Wizard’s duel seemed somewhat disrespectful.

“Minor – Magic Protection”

Luo’er casually lifted his hand, and a magical barrier formed in front of him.

However, to his surprise, the seven “Magic Missiles” curved directly around the protective wall, continuing their assault from both sides.

Caught off guard, Luo’er’s pupils dilated, but his reaction was not slow.

Almost instantly, an invisible magic shield enveloped Luo’er at the center, with several “Magic Missiles” striking it and causing ripples, yet they couldn’t breach it.

This was the second-ring magic “Mage Shield”!

But before Luo’er could catch his breath, the second wave of “Magic – Bombardment” was already upon him!

This time, Lynn didn’t hold back.

The orb-shaped bodies composed of magic power were merely shells that contained a mix of volatile and explosive elements, which detonated upon impact!

A series of muffled explosions resounded across the practice field.

The magic barrier formed by magic power was instantly breached, and soon after, the “Mage Shield” began to show cracks…

“Is this really ‘Magic Missiles’?” Ailoke couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

The apprentice Wizards were also astonished, as they were certainly not unfamiliar with the spell “Magic Missiles.”

In fact, most apprentices who studied elemental magic could easily master it; however, its power was less than satisfactory, which is why few chose to use it.

Yet, Lynn had utilized such a low-level magic in a formal Wizard’s duel, and its power was unexpectedly formidable!

On the training field, Luo’er was forced to retreat repeatedly. Often, a mere second after casting a protective spell, several “Magic Missiles” would converge on the same spot and through a barrage of explosions, shatter it to pieces.

Not only that, but the number of missiles kept increasing. It started with seven, then ten, and later even twelve and fifteen. It was clear to any observer that if Lynn did not intend to spare Luo’er, the latter would have been defeated quite early on.

Is this “Magic – Bombardment”?

The present professors immediately recognized it—this was the magic modified by the Grand Wizard himself.

But that was not entirely accurate. After observing for a while, they quickly noticed subtle differences.

Helram’s “Magic – Bombardment” set the flight paths of the missiles in advance to avoid obstacles and attack from various unexpected angles, with its destructive power relying solely on quantity.

But Lynn’s magic was different, each missile bore the power of the Fireball Technique and was equally flexible.

“Professor Lynn is likely a genius in magical research!” Philip couldn’t help but exclaim, taking a zero-ring magic originally intended for feints and turning it into something with the destructive power comparable to a higher second-ring magic.

The other professors also nodded in agreement, and then they all looked towards Helram to see what this senior Wizard thought.

At that moment, Helram did not express any opinion, just gazed at the battle between the two, deep in thought…

Unlike the crowd of students and professors who were merely spectating, Luo’er on the battlefield was sweating profusely. He was well aware of the gap between a second-ring Wizard and a third-ring Wizard, yet he hadn’t expected that the opponent could bring him to such a disarray with just an improved zero-ring magic.

If he were to lose like this, it wouldn’t just be his own face that he’d be losing…

Thinking this, Luo’er’s expression turned extremely solemn, and the ring on his hand emitted a faint glow.

Third-ring Protection Technique—Magic Barrier!

The next moment, a sturdy magic power barrier appeared around him, blocking all the Magic Missiles flying in from all directions!

Although Luo’er had used an alchemical item, Helram showed no intention of stopping the match.

Strictly speaking, various magic potions and alchemical tools are all a part of a Wizard’s strength, but generally, those concerned about their image would not use such things in a duel.

Lynn, who was in overload mode, also quickly noticed the increase in the strength of the protective magic. Glancing at the slowly decreasing energy reserves in his smart brain, he decided to end the battle quickly.

In an instant, thirty-six Magic Missiles floated in the air; this was his limit in casting!

This strike was already comparable to a third-ring magic!

Luo’er, with a serious expression, watched the magic power orbs flying at him from all directions. He lifted his index finger and lightly vibrated it in the air, sending an invisible wave in a semicircular spread continuously forward.

The thirty-six Magic Missiles had not even come close before they burst in mid-air!

Continuous explosions echoed throughout the training field.

Ailoke and others, who had just thought Lynn was about to win, were stunned on the spot, somewhat confused. Could it be there was a problem with the Professor’s casting?

The missiles hadn’t even reached the enemy yet, so why had they exploded?

“Exactly!” Luo’er’s lips curled into a smile. After these tens of seconds of combat, he had already sensed the weakness of this magic.

While turning the Magic Missiles into explosives, the opponent had also made the spell itself highly unstable. Just a slight application of force, enough to disrupt the thin exterior shell, would cause them to explode spontaneously.

Now, it was his turn to counterattack!

And he would do so with the same mocking tit-for-tat!

At the moment the dozens of missiles exploded, Luo’er cast the zero-ring magic Condensing Water Technique. Numerous yellow-green droplets appeared around him and, using the dust raised by the explosion as cover, shot towards Lynn like continuous bullet rain.

The moment Lynn realized the magic had been broken, he cast one of the few protective magics he knew—Frost Curtain!

A shield wall made of ice sprouted from the ground in front of him.

However, as the smoke from the explosions cleared, Lynn immediately realized something was wrong because the opponent’s mode of attack seemed different from what he had expected.

Luo’er clenched his fist, and the numerous yellow-green droplets burst instantly, transforming into a high-temperature, highly toxic, highly corrosive steam that immediately enveloped Lynn.

This was the second-ring advanced magic—High-temperature Steaming Kill!
