Chapter 23: The Magician"s hand.
"I am very happy, the tower has welcomed a batch of fresh blood, today, there are five teenagers that became magic apprentices of the tower! Here, I will extend my sincere greetings to you and welcome you to join the big family of the tower! " In the round hall on the fifth floor of the tower, Gatling was giving a welcome speech. All the apprentices looked at the new apprentices enthusiastically.
Three men and two women stood in a row on the stage, the other four were shy with their heads down, only Freya held her head high like a proud swan, and looked at each other in front of the tower apprentices.
After seeing Freya"s eyes swept over, Siwei nodded slightly and raised his thumb in his right hand. Seeing Siwei"s little moves, Freya smiled gratefully and seemed to feel much less pressure.
"Gee, another little beauty! It"s really beautiful! " Faawi looked at Freya for half a day with a scanning eye and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey hey, again being beautiful is useless! You will leave the tower soon! " Ed gave Faawi a nudge with his elbow, revealing an obscene smile on his face.
"Hum, your hope is not big, Siwei is her enlightenment teacher, plus, Siwei is much more handsome than you! Women are creatures who look at faces! " Faawi had a convulsive face and responded without hesitation.
Ed was speechless and gave Siwei a bitter look.
"In order to promote the exchange of spells between apprentices and speed up the growth of apprentices, the tower has prepared the first compet.i.tion of apprenticeship spells against each other! The winner will be richly rewarded! Due to the limitation of apprenticeship spells, there are only eight high-level magic apprentices partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion. So now I announce the beginning of the first tower apprentice spell compet.i.tion! In the first match, Yang will face Meryl! "
As Gatling"s voice dropped, all the apprentices in the tower retreated to the edge of the circle hall, leaving room for the two contestants. Their faces were full of excitement. After all, this was the first time in the history of the tower that apprentices were openly fighting with spells. They could not only see the wonderful spells of high-level magic apprentices, but also promote and inspire their own strength.
Siwei made some comments on his preparation and response to the apprentice spell compet.i.tion when he exchanged a magic with Meryl the day before. This compet.i.tion is also a good exercise opportunity for Meryl. Just meeting the champion candidate Yang in the first round. Meryl will probably have to swim in the next round.
Yang is still a graceful gentleman. He gently nodded to Meryl: "Miss Meryl, it"s an honor to fight with you!"
Meryl pursed her lips tightly. She also nodded and said nothing.
"Here we go!" With Gatling"s orders, Meryl quickly blessed herself with the first spell-weak resistance enhancement, corresponding to water element damage.
Since the damage zero-ring spells entered by the tower are only acid jets and freezing rays, the improvement of water element resistance is crucial.
However, Yang did not cast protective spells. His fingertips were shining with green light. Wind energy was gathering on him!
"High winds? !” Charlotte shouted softly, she didn"t react at all. What is the reason why Yang did this?
The flurry is obviously only an acceleration spell. What effect can it play in the small s.p.a.ce of the round hall?
Only five breathing time, Yang has completed the display of flurry, green halo leaps at his feet, he ran quickly, his right hand into a fist, on fist emerged faint white light!
"Magician"s Hand!" Siwei noticed this detail in the first place.
It"s really very creative! Siwei couldn"t help giving Yang a compliment.
With the cooperation of flurry and magician"s hand, great kinetic energy can be formed in an instant, but for magic apprentices who cannot be protected by physical means, it is almost impossible to resist.
Moreover, Yang"s choice is very targeted. If he plays this trick on the fat Faawi, it won"t make much difference, but for the thin Meryl, it is enough to decide the outcome.
Originally, the distance between the two people were about five meters. At the moment when Yang"s "high wind technique" was about to be put to good use, Meryl seemed to find a sign of danger. Her hands were propped up in front of her chest, and the energy of the water element quickly condensed. In a short period of two breaths, a blue water mirror stood in mid-air!
This is exactly the first spell Siwei taught Meryl. She has mastered it perfectly and even came ahead of Siwei as a mentor in some aspects.
Siwei noticed that the water mirror contains a large amount of ice elements. Ice is the strengthening of water. Meryl incorporated the idea of freezing ray into the water mirror and created a new spell that can be called "ice mirror"!
Another short breath, the blue water mirror condensed violently and became as white as snow. It condensed into a real ice crystal!
At that moment, Yang"s accelerated white magician"s hand with pale blue light severely hit the ice crystal!
The next moment, the ice crystals could not bear the huge impact force, crashing and cracking. Yang"s mage"s hand was dimmed, but it brightened in a very short time. Obviously, Yang injected a lot of magic into the magician"s hand in a fast moving state.
This time Yang"s rapid impact was no longer resisted. Some of his great magician"s hand severely knocked down on Meryl"s pet.i.te body and then locked it in her throat.
"In the first round, Yang won!" Gatling announced the result of the first round war loudly. He looked at Yang with satisfaction. What a perfect young man! So young, so intelligent, you can learn to this degree without anyone"s guidance. Even in the tower of thousand methods from which you came, I"m afraid you are the magic genius with the brightest future.
"Are you okay?" Siwei rushed out when Meryl was knocked to the ground. He quickly picked up Meryl"s thin body and asked with concern.
"Ok! Yang didn"t put a huge amount of force. I was also carrying it on my back. It didn"t hurt too much! " Meryl"s consciousness is still very clear.
"I"m sorry! I"m afraid it will be very difficult for me to win if I don"t do this. I didn"t expect you to create such a powerful spell yourself, Meryl! I just took advantage of the stronger magic! " Yang also came forward.
"Meryl, very good, you have shown your best! In addition, congratulations, Yang! " Siwei patted the ashes on Meryl"s magic robe and led her back to the crowd.
At this moment, the whole round hall has been boiling like a vegetable market. All the apprentices were surprised to recall what they saw just now. The magic cast by the two high-ranking magic apprentices was not what they had learned, and it was so powerful!
Although it was only a duel of less than ten breaths, all the apprentices were as excited as being beaten with chicken blood. They were sooooo looking forward to seeing the next duel between high-ranking magic apprentices!
Just then, Gatling"s voice rang again: "In the second match, Faawi vs. Ed!"
Originally the atmosphere was not harmonious. The fat and thin brothers immediately looked at each other like in bullfights, but Faawi"s eyes were full of pride. Ed was somewhat discouraged.
