Magic Academy: My Magic Skills Can Automatically Train Themselves 24/7 - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Chapter 39: Various Experts, First Display of Extraordinary Abilities!

The violent explosion of energy instantly sent the two of them flying.

The guy with earrings had the Chanting Dragon Bell activated to block the attack, so he did not suffer any injury.

Lu Yi barely dodged it with super high speed, but his face was a little ashen as if he was a little scared.

After regaining his composure, he gathered magic power on his fingertips again.

“Watch as I tear your lousy bell apart!”

With a low shout, his body moved like a phantom, instantly darting away a dozen meters.

The other party hurriedly activated a rule to counter his strike.

However, in the previous exchange, Lu Yi had already discovered the weakness of the Chanting Dragon Bell.

The steely glint on his fingertips tapped a certain part of the Chanting Dragon Bell, then suddenly stabbed into it. In the next instant, the Chanting Dragon Bell suddenly disintegrated before the guy with earrings could react.

By now, Lu Yi’s fingertips were already at his opponent’s throat.

“I… surrender!”

The guy’s face turned pale. Although he was resentful, he had no choice but to give up in the face of such a great discrepancy in strength between him and Lu Yi. Even if he had deployed his strongest rule, he still wouldn’t be able to resist Lu Yi’s attack.

The judge quickly announced the result of the match. Lu Yi raised his head to bask in the envious gazes from the spectators.

After Bai Ze finished watching his battle, he also got to know more about the guy called Lu

Yi.

Although Bai Ze didn’t know if Lu Yi had any hidden moves, he was confident he could defeat this opponent.

In the arena, following Lu Yi’s victory in advancing to the next round, a burst of applause immediately erupted from the elite students’ spectator area where he was assigned.

Soon after, the second team of contestants entered the arena.

In a battle between experts, even the slightest slip-up would be infinitely magnified. Therefore, most of the time, the battle would end within five minutes.

The moment any flaws were exposed, the opponent would be able to grasp them and extend their advantage immediately.

Therefore, all 16 battles ended in less than an hour.

Of course, there was an exception.

It was the young man who had taken the path of defensive magic.

That young man was dressed in a long green robe. He had fair skin and attractive features.

He always had a gentle smile on his face, like an elegant young master from ancient times.

It was such a person with a scholarly temperament who cultivated a rule with top-tier defensive abilities.

In every battle, he would exhaust his opponent’s magic power in a short time, and then find an opportunity to eliminate the opponent in one blow.

His battle this time lasted nearly 20 minutes.

His opponent was also a fourth ring mage, but even this guy couldn’t break through his defense.

Even if he deployed a C-class rule at the Familiar level, it would still be futile.

After observing for a long time, Bai Ze found six strong contenders for the championship.

Lin Xi from Maplewood Uno High school, who cultivated wood-type spells, Ling Quan from the same school, who was decisive in attacks, and the other four strong students he had met today.

These four were: Close-range combat mage Lu Yi, the long-range attacking mage Ye Ningmei, who used magic power to condense elemental bullets, the ultimate defense mage Gu Yan, and an arrogant leader from the Norton Elite High School.

The first round of the championship battle had ended, and only sixteen contestants remained.

And these sixteen would fight again until the first-place winner was decided.

In such an important segment, many cameras were added around the arena. In addition to broadcasting the entire event live, two reporters were also roped in to give a running commentary to the audience.

At this point, Bai Ze found that Teacher Fang Yu, who was in charge of their class at Maplewood Uno High, had arrived.

She even brought the three of them who had advanced to the next round to the spectator area at the last minute, as if she wanted to explain something.

“Ms. Fang, aren’t you at school? Why are you here?”

Lin Xi, who was wearing a long green dress and sitting by the side, asked curiously.

Ling Quan, who was holding a rod, kept his head lowered in silence. Bai Ze greeted Teacher Fang Yu and sat directly next to her.

“Bai Ze, I didn’t expect your strength to be so outstanding that you can advance to this stage. I know you must have put in more effort than other people.”

Teacher Fang Yu gazed at Bai Ze with gentleness. She was feeling guilty for neglecting Bai Ze in school.

“Ms. Fang, please don’t say that. I didn’t actually put in much effort. I was just playing around, and I accidentally got my third ring. Haha!”

Bai Ze laughed in awkward embarrassment, but he didn’t realize that after he said this, Lin Xi immediately cast him a resentful look.

“What? He became so powerful just by playing around?”

“Does this mean that though I’ve been working so hard on my cultivation, and I even have the help of precious tools, my abilities are still inferior to yours?” she thought ruefully.

Lin Xi clenched her fists. When she thought of how she had been left far behind by Bai Ze and couldn’t even get close to the badge, the grievances in her heart overflowed.

Meanwhile, the anti-social Ling Quan also raised his head, his expression filled with battle intent.

Bai Ze did not realize that his casual words had offended two fourth ring mages at the same time.

If Teacher Fang Yu wasn’t there, they would have probably started fighting for real.

“The next battle is extremely important. Please do not be careless and try your best to adjust to your best condition. No matter what the result is, you are all students that I am most proud of.”

an

Teacher Fang Yu’s smile made Lin Xi and Ling Quan’s originally tense mood relax a little.

And what about Bai Ze, one might ask?

He only had excitement and anticipation now. He was not nervous at all!

As the sound of the drum boomed, the second round of the battle commenced without a hitch.

Outside the transparent skylight at the top of the arena, the sky gradually darkened.

The lights in the arena lit up, illuminating the entire venue as if it were daytime.

A low and emotionally charged music was gradually piped out, and the sixteen outstanding students once again stepped onto the stage to draw lots.

Bai Ze calmly drew out a long stick from the bamboo tube and then showed it to the camera below the stage.

There was only the number 4 inscribed on it.

After learning that he was the fourth to go on to the arena, Bai Ze returned to the spectator area.

He had no choice. The venue was too big, and the details of the battle could only be seen through the camera.

In the previous battles, Bai Ze had received several system prompts. His Icicle Technique’s proficiency had already reached Mastery level 3, and his other rules had also more or less advanced further.

Only the Repelling Fire Ring remained unchanged.

Observing his opponents could not only help him understand his opponent in advance, but it could also elevate his proficiency in the rules, so why not?

As the whistle blew, the battle went into full swing

The first pair of contestants were Ling Quan and Norton’s fourth ring mage. Both of them had similar strengths and were at the top of the school.

Bai Ze was looking forward to this battle. It should be very exciting. “The first match of the second round of the championship battle begins!”

The moment the judge finished speaking, the two of them charged simultaneously!

Ling Quan waved his right hand, and with a flash of golden light, dozens of Golden Wing Stab appeared in the air and flew towards his opponent at a blazingly fast speed.

The Norton representative raised his hand and performed an incantation gesture. He then muttered a spell, and a shocking energy fluctuation emanated from him.

Green light flashed and quickly condensed into a barrier in front of him.

On the commentary platform, a male reporter in a body-fitting dark blue suit saw the situation and immediately exclaimed in surprise, “The C-class rule, Dense Forest! Judging from the effect of this spell, it’s at least at the Refinement level!”
