Chapter 51.2: Unexpected Accident During the Duel (Part Two)
(TLN: Second extra chapter!)
“Gravity spell!”
“Quagmire spell!”
“Storm spell!”
“Fireball!”
“Thunder spell!”
Five consecutive primary magical spells were cast instantaneously, and the power of the spells was increased by several folds using his internal force. Zhan Yan and his mount were directly hit, but the heavy armor coated in Douqi allowed Zhan Yan to escape completely unscathed. It was needless to say the eighth-level radiant tiger had no problem at all with enduring the blow.
However, he certainly delayed Zhan Yan"s attacking speed.
“Not bad! Not bad! These little spells are quite formidable!” Observing the effects, Long Aotian was satisfied and continued to frantically send out primary magical spells.
Zhan Yan suddenly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Although Zhan Yan desired to close the distance, Long Aotian had the "Ride the Waves; Walk over Ripples" technique and his wind magic, which increased his speed. Acceleration skills have always had an advantage against the enemy.
And since Long Aotian was practicing in order to increase the proficiency of his magic, he did not stop.
“Will this guy continue to cast magic spells forever? When will he run out of magic power?” Zhan Yan clenched his teeth. He was helpless after he encountered Long Aotian"s abnormal magic spells. Although they only primary spells, he did not know how much magic power they were amplified by. Besides, there were so many primary magic spells that they became a hindrance to Zhan Yan.
His eyes swept across the crowd, noticing that many of his cla.s.smates cast worried looks toward him. Looking at the girl he liked, he noticed she was looking back at him with an odd expression.
At this moment, Zhan Yan became really angry.
Long Aotian did not summon his dragon but instead silently recited a spell. Instead, Long Aotian"s mount slowly vanished, causing his strength to rapidly rise.
Seventh-level peak, eighth-level fighter, eighth-level peak, ninth-level fighter…
His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
“Tiger"s Roar of the Mountains and Forests!” Zhan Yan raised his voice and let out a deafening howl. His skill began to pull the surrounding area toward him. Even if it was Long Aotian, he could no longer use the wind magic step nor "Ride the Waves; Walk over Ripples" technique to avoid it. His body would soon be smashed by Zhan Yan"s formidable Douqi.
He believed that if he moved along with the attractive force, he would certainly be torn apart by Zhan Yan. However, he didn"t dare to resign to his fate. He quickly raised his long sword, inserted into the ground, and stood still, intending to use his own unique skills to break Zhan Yan"s.
His strength also improved rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, his strength was equivalent to a ninth-level fighter"s.
“Dragon"s Roar of the Ninth Heavens!” Long Aotian finally released his own super large mount. He jumped up as a huge golden dragon"s head slammed onto Zhan Yan"s area of attractive force.
“Get lost!” Zhan Yan snarled furiously as the power of his sound wave instantly weakened the draconic power that Long Aotian had agglutinated by half. Then, he continued the suction of his surroundings. The draconic power made it hard to move, but Long Aotian continued to condense it. Then, the draconic power once again pressed against Zhan Yan.
Zhan Yan was unwilling to fall far behind and ordered his white tiger to charge.
“Boom!”
The dragon and the tiger intersected with each other. The confrontation between the two forces immediately caused the area to tremble, and a deafening explosion echoed throughout the school.
"Boom! Boom!"
The explosions continued, and the sky was covered by dark clouds. With a breaking sound, several cracks slowly appeared in the school"s enchantment.
The two people on the battlefield didn"t know what catastrophe was about to break out. The two were still exerting their various forces. Violent Douqi, magic, and internal force engulfed everything, making it difficult to see the duo in the center.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The skies roared and the earth shook.
Now, the people who were watching this fight became afraid.
"What"s going on?" The crowd was in turmoil.
A powerful teacher was able to sense the energy riots in the martial arts hall, but it was too late.
“Get out of the way!”
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded.
“All of you, make way for me!”
The roars continued and spread to everyone"s ears.
“All of you should get out of the way!” Although unfamiliar, it was a clear and powerful voice. The crowd inexplicably grew silent, obeying the command.
“Break!”
“Boom!!”
The first enchantment was broken, and the fragments from the enchantment violently scattered. Those fragments of debris rushed toward the weaker students. They could not resist.
The more powerful cla.s.smates dealt with the fragments, saving the weaker cla.s.smates. The referees and the commentators also could not sit still as they jumped off the stage in order to avoid any injuries.
However, the fragments from another part of the enchantment shot out as fiercer and stronger forces erupted once again. This issue couldn"t be solved by the Students Holy Spirit Group nor the several teachers in the area.
“What are you doing? Don"t blank out! Get down!”
It was the same voice that made people settle down earlier. A tall boy who didn"t have time to react was dragged to the ground and scolded. Then, the owner of the voice took a large sword and scattered several pieces of the enchantment to protect a group of dimwitted students.
This person was Long Shiyan.
When she was observing the battle between the two, she felt that something was wrong and quickly evacuated the crowd. The strength of these two had completely exceeded her expectations.
Her eyes swept across the already crumbling enchantment; it would soon be shattered completely. If it was broken, the strength of those two people would surely sweep through the entire area. The number of casualties caused by the strength of the two ninth-level fighters would be absolutely immeasurable.
There was no time to think so Long Shiyan rushed in with her sword.
The vice-presidents of the Students Holy Spirit Group, Belinda and Edgar, and several teachers had already noticed that something went awry. But their powers were merely at the eighth-level, and they thus could not stop the calamity.
But, a few people were still around to help give other students time to escape.
Nonetheless, Long Shiyan carried her sword and dashed in. She grabbed onto Brands"s collar, threw him aside, and angrily shouted, "As a mage, are you not worried about dying? What are you even doing here? Hurry up and help evacuate the ma.s.ses!"
No one opposed her words as Zi Linglong and Belinda parted from each other in order to go help the crowd. She furiously said, “They really are acting recklessly and being hindrances.”
“Hehe, those two are still fighting!” Long Shiyan stared coldly at the two people battling each other inside. She inserted her giant sword into the ground and closed her eyes.
“Rumble!”
At this time, the enchantment finally broke apart into countless pieces, which were accompanied by violent energy bursts. During this moment, the people in the surroundings could not get away in time. In a moment, they would all suffer. However, before they could be injured, the broken enchantment was covered by another transparent enchantment.
“It closed!”
“The enchantment of the G.o.ds!”
When everyone saw a new enchantment reappearing, they all sighed in relief. All the cries for help disappeared. Everyone felt that the calamity had pa.s.sed as all eyes were on the dazzling girl at the center of the enchantment.
Indeed, she gave off a faint white light, the same color as the enchantment.
Forcibly employing her spirit force to break open the enchantment, Long Shiyan felt mentally strained and almost fell. However, she understood that it was not over yet, and must stop these two geniuses.
She pulled out the giant sword and flew into the battlefield once again. With both hands, she grasped the large sword and resolutely hacked at the various forces between the two to stop them. However, she did not expect to be repelled and flung away. The two men were still ignorant of the situation and were incapable of stopping their overboard powers.
“Get out of the way!”
Long Shiyan gritted her teeth and rushed in with her sword once again.
“Épée: Glorious Heart!”
“Break!”
“Boom!”
After a violent storm, the world finally returned to its usual stillness as the white enchantment began to dissipate. Long Aotian and Zhan Yan motionlessly laid down on the stage as they panted heavily. Obviously, they didn"t die. The pet.i.te Long Shiyan landed onto the stage. Although her complexion was pale, her cold eyes swept over everyone.
“The Saint"s protective enchantment was broken! This had never happened before in hundreds of years. I didn"t expect it to break now. Who were the ones in charge of the stage?” Her eyes skimmed past the group of people with Zi Linglong. “If I didn"t guess wrong, this should be due to a lack of magical energy. Right now is an important time to prepare for the upcoming school tournament battles. Yet, you didn"t even check the stage"s equipment! This is a catastrophe! How will you explain what happened to the school"s ancestors?”
There was a dull silence in the area as no one spoke. Even Zi Linglong and the teachers did not dare to utter even a single word.
Although she was a different person than "her", her manner of speaking was very familiar. Since it had been a long time since they were reprimanded this way, the group was completely unable to say a word.
“Okay! Let"s bring both of them into the infirmary and then administer the proper disciplinary actions.” Long Shiyan"s words faltered as she remembered that she was no longer the previous Long Shiyan, so she shouldn"t use this tone.
She hurriedly coughed a few times and changed her manner of speaking. “The safety of the school is everyone"s responsibility. I am no exception. I will not say any more. I believe that you should give the students and the headmaster a very reasonable explanation for this incident. I am feeling a little hungry, so I shall be leaving. Goodbye.”
As soon as her voice fell, she quickly tried to walk away but was soon halted by a familiar voice.
“Wait!”
“Do you have any other issues?” Long Shiyan stopped and turned her gaze toward the already mature Zi Linglong. She had beautiful eyes along with a tall and s.e.xy figure. The description in the original novel was slightly different than the current her.
“Thank you!” After a long time, Zi Linglong responded with these two words.
“No need to thank me!” Long Shiyan did not dare to stay. She turned around and left, departing from the crowd.
