Chapter 565: Inter-academy Tournament (55)
Silence enveloped the entire venue as everyone stared at Shen Yanxiao and Qi Xia’s feet.
The extremely intense fight had come to an end because of a small piece of rock. Everyone was shocked; it was as if a piece of bone was stuck in their chest.
Qi Xia snapped back to his senses after a moment of astonishment. The craziness faded from his eyes, and his usual gentleness returned to his face. He could not help but laugh in a low voice as he covered his face with his hands.
“…” Shen Yanxiao blinked. She looked at a certain beast who pulled his hair strangely. Had the jerk gone mental because of her obscene manner of victory?
When Shen Yanxiao knew that she had to fight Qi Xia, she had come up with a plan, and it included the small piece of rock she stood on.
It was practically impossible for her to win against Qi Xia in a head-on confrontation. Therefore, she had to take a risky move.
The use of the Engraving curse was a bet that Qi Xia had not become a Great Archmagus. Otherwise, all her plans would amount to nothing.
Fortunately, she was right.
The stainless steel stage was solid, and so it could withstand a significant impact. However, Qi Xia was not an average person. He could unleash magic skills without chanting. His continuous attacks could even smash diamonds into pieces, let alone steel.
Shen Yanxiao did have a thorough plan, but the most critical piece of the puzzle was that Qi Xiao was simply too powerful. If it were not for the fact that his magical attacks could blast the entire stage into pieces, Shen Yanxiao would not have won by standing on a small rock from the stage.
The judge was stunned by everything that had happened. That soul-stirring fight still lingered in his mind.
The judge had not come to a full understanding of the situation as he looked at the laughing Qi Xia and the speechless Shen Yanxiao.
“h.e.l.lo, can you please announce the result of the match?” It was hard for Shen Yanxiao to remain standing on that little rock. She urged the judge to announce the results because she had a sense that the little rock under her feet could not last long.
The judge snapped back to his senses when she spoke to him. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and Qi Xia with a twisted expression. The judge gulped and struggled to open his mouth. “The winner of this compet.i.tion is… Shen Yanxiao from the Warlock Division of the Saint Laurent Academy!” Only the G.o.ds would know how hard it was to work up the courage to announce the winner was a warlock!
The whole venue erupted in an uproar when the judge announced the result.
The match showed a surprising degree of intensity, but the result was far beyond anyone’s expectations.
Warlocks had disappeared from the Brilliance Continent for hundreds of years, but they were back in public again!
A warlock had won the grandest champions.h.i.+p in the Longxuan Empire!
All the people there felt complicated with the results. However, it was not something they could deny.
Shen Yanxiao had performed above everyone’s expectations. She did not use any sinister curses, and she had met her opponents head-on. She won with her real strength, even when her opponent proved to be formidable.
It would not be easy to forget Qi Xia and Shen Yanxiao’s match. The magnificent magical attacks and the fantastic battle was nerve-wracking to watch.
The people finally realized that the shady warlocks could be that powerful.
The curses of positive and negative effects were used so wonderfully, and the flawless connection between the curses had dazzled them as well.
The Engraving curse used in the final match made people want to shout their support for Shen Yanxiao!
They realized that warlocks could be powerful and entirely transparent in all their actions!
