Chapter 54 Academy Competition (3)
Chu Qiuchi's eyes were sharp as he watched the final showdown that was about to begin. "It seems that the outcome of this match is already a foregone conclusion. Team Star has the victory in the bag."
Nalan Xingyao nodded in agreement, analyzing, "That's true. The two teams are evenly matched. Although the War Wolf team has three main offensive mages, they will find it difficult to break through the Starry Sky team's strong control-type defense. Judging from previous matches, the War Wolf team also seems to lack effective purification skills. In this match, I'm afraid the War Wolf team will have a hard time finding a chance to turn the tide."
Watching the impending duel, Chu Yichen remarked with a sigh, "Having a powerful control mage is truly crucial; they can instantly turn the tide of battle. Fortunately, we have Xingyao. Minghui, we both need to step up our game and level up our magic as quickly as possible. The level difference between control mages is deadly!"
Chu Qiuchi's gaze was fixed on the arena. She noticed that the War Wolf team had unexpectedly adopted the Flying Feather Formation, which surprised her.
"That's an interesting choice. Their team is already fast, and now it seems they intend to maximize that advantage. If they can dodge skillfully and keep up with their attacks, they could indeed turn the tide! The primary task is to quickly suppress their control mages."
The competition officially began, and the duel on the ring quickly escalated, becoming increasingly exciting.
The two teams seemed to be on the same wavelength, tacitly choosing to prioritize eliminating the lower-level mages in the opposing team.
After rounds of battles, Team Star was left with one control mage and two attack mages, while Team Wolf retained all three attack mages.
Both sides' support-type mages have withdrawn from the match, making the atmosphere on the stage even more tense. It seems that both sides intend to abandon the war of attrition and strive for a quick victory.
"It seems this match will be a pure firepower duel," Chu Qiuchi commented. "Both sides are looking for an opportunity to strike decisively."
Nalan Xingyao added, "Yes, every second is crucial now; any small mistake could lead to total defeat."
Chu Yichen suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear, the Star Team's attack has been dodged again! It seems that the War Wolf Team's Flying Feather Formation is indeed very effective. Now both sides are preparing to use their awakened skills. I wonder if Helian Wenting can create another miracle."
As the awakened skills on the field were unleashed one by one, Chu Qiuchi was also surprised by the tactics of the War Wolf team. They actually sacrificed two attack-type mages to successfully exchange for two of the opponent's attack-type mages.
The situation became even more intense. The Star Team had one control-type mage left, while the War Wolf Team had one attack-type mage left. Both teams' arrays were ineffective, and their magic power was almost exhausted.
The match has now devolved into a pure test of physical prowess—who can throw the other off the ring.
Helian Wenting immediately charged at her opponent, and the two engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Surprisingly, Helian Wenting, who seemed like a delicate girl, displayed a fierce fighting style in close combat.
Puyang Minghui explained to Chu Qiuchi from the side: "You don't know, Sister Wenting grew up in the war zone since she was a child. She has always trained with the soldiers, so her close combat skills and strength are outstanding."
After hearing this, Chu Qiuchi suddenly realized why Helian Wenting's movements were so clean and efficient, and her strength was so precise. It turned out that she had been training since she was a child.
Sure enough, not long after, under everyone's watchful eyes, Helian Wenting delivered a powerful side kick, accurately sending her opponent off the stage. The match was over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after a fierce competition, the winning team for this round has been determined—Team Star!" The host's voice echoed in the training ground, bringing this wonderful match to a perfect close.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, celebrating the Star Team's victory. Helian Wenting and her teammates embraced each other in celebration on the ring, their faces beaming with joy and pride.
After the successful conclusion of the first half, the royal family prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone present. Soon after, the second half of the match began amidst the anticipation and cheers of the crowd.
Every match was full of passion and challenges, and the winning team was finally determined in the tense and fierce competition.
The second day of competition was just as exciting. Chu Qiuchi and her teammates watched each match intently every day, accumulating experience and studying techniques.
Time flies, and the competition has reached its final day. After several days of fierce competition, the outcome of the two academies has become clear, with Holy Light Noble Academy gaining the upper hand with a leading advantage.
So far, Holy Light Noble Academy has had 3 teams win, while Mingxi Holy Academy has only had 1 team win.
This result led to a heated debate between the two deans in the VIP section over the past two days, their verbal sparring almost as exciting as the competition itself.
The second-grade competition concluded in the morning, with the Mingxi Sacred Academy team emerging victorious. Dean Puyang beamed from ear to ear in the stands, his joy evident in his expression.
The first-grade competition officially kicked off in the afternoon amidst everyone's eager anticipation.
Inside Xiyue City, Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya had already secured the best viewing spots, their excitement barely contained.
When the host formally announced the names of the competing teams—"The Six-Six-Luck Team and the Thunder Team"—it instantly elicited a burst of laughter from the audience. The names seemed particularly unusual in the tense and solemn atmosphere of the competition.
Chu Qiuchi and her teammates stood below the ring, facing the laughter that rose and fell around them, their faces showing no embarrassment or wavering.
Their eyes were firm, and they knew clearly that although the name "Six Sixes Got Good Fortune Team" might make people laugh at first, they were about to prove with their actions that the name carried not only humor but also great strength.
As they stepped onto the stage, the laughter in the audience was gradually replaced by anticipation. The "Six Sixes Team" was about to begin their first highly anticipated battle, and they would use their strength to leave their mark on this magical feast.
Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya, along with Chu Qiuchi's friends from Xiyue City, watched Chu Qiuchi and her teammates' every move on the stage with tense excitement.
Their hearts were racing, even more so than Chu Qiuchi, who was personally going into battle.
As the match officially began, Chu Qiuchi and his teammates quickly put their carefully planned tactics into action.
They still used the Flying Feather Formation. As soon as they entered the arena, Nalan Xingyao quickly unleashed her second skill on Ji Moyu—the Immunity Aura.
A semi-transparent halo immediately formed around Ji Moyu, emitting a faint blue light, like a mysterious protective film that made him immune to one control or damage effect.
The opposing control mage was clearly prepared, targeting Ji Moyu with his first move, attempting to suppress him with control skills.
However, the immunity aura worked, and the opponent's control skills vanished the moment they came into contact with the aura, failing to have any effect on Ji Moyu.
At the same time, Chu Qiuchi quickly unleashed her second skill – Moon Spirit Dance.
As she unleashed her skill from her staff, eight enormous moon blades suddenly formed in the air. They gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like the sharpest stars in the night sky, hurtling straight towards the Thunder team in the arena.
These moon blades not only damaged everyone on the Thunder team, but also created a huge shield in front of Chu Qiuchi, absorbing the damage.
Ji Moyu followed closely behind, coordinating with Chu Qiuchi's offensive, and unleashed his first skill—Netherworld Blood Blade—at the opposing control mage.
Before the opponent could react, his skill was as swift and deadly as a ghost, directly injuring the opponent's control mage.
Chu Yichen responded quickly, casting his first skill, Thick Earth Barrier, on Nalan Xingyao.
A solid, earth-yellow light shield instantly enveloped Nalan Xingyao, protecting her from the impending harm.
Immediately afterwards, Nalan Xingyao released her first skill—Magic Imprisonment—to firmly control the opposing support mage, preventing him from casting healing and buffing skills.
The opposing team was thrown into disarray by Chu Qiuchi's skills as soon as they entered the field. By the time they realized what was happening, their control and support mages had already lost their ability to fight.
Faced with the speed advantage brought by Chu Qiuchi and his teammates' Flying Feather Formation, the opponent's attacks missed many times.
Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu once again demonstrated their tacit cooperation. Chu Qiuchi's first skill, Endless Fireballs, was released continuously like a machine gun, with eight fireballs covering the sky each time, making it extremely difficult for the opponent to dodge.
Ji Moyu also seized the opportunity to finish off Chu Qiuchi, unleashing his first skill – Netherworld Blood Blade – which intertwined with Chu Qiuchi's fireball to form a deadly net.
Puyang Minghui remained calm and focused, silently unleashing her primary skill—Nature's Gift.
As the skill was released, a gentle green glow flowed from her staff, softly covering her teammates, and the damage they had taken in battle began to heal.
After a barrage of intense firepower, the opposing team was severely injured before their awakening skills even had a chance to cool down, forcing them to concede defeat.
The battle ended with lightning speed, and the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause. This was the fastest match to end in several rounds, so fast that no one had time to react.
Chu Qiuchi and her teammates won the game quickly with excellent teamwork and tactics.
"Did you notice? When that little girl used her skill, the mark on her forehead was actually lotus-shaped. Isn't that a characteristic of a Xuan-grade Demon Pearl? When did the magicians of Xuan-grade Demon Pearls become so powerful?"
"That's absolutely true, it's incredible!"
"When did area-of-effect mages' skills become so amazing?"
The audience was filled with murmurs, while King Ao Jinming, sitting on the stage, was deep in thought. Could this be the advantage brought by the initial full value of mental power?
After all, the previous Dawn Goddess was a single-target mage, not an area-of-effect mage, so there was no precedent to follow. He decided to wait and see for the time being and observe further.
Thinking of the bodyguard who had been sent to monitor Chu Qiuchi, Ao Jinming felt another surge of anger. His previous reports had all been trivial matters, and now, faced with such a significant anomaly, he hadn't noticed a thing—truly incompetent.
