Chapter 135 Final (2)
Chapter 135 Final (2)
A sharp wind brushed Jiang Liujing's face, the air current causing his inky hair to flutter slightly. Wen Xun's attack missed, but he didn't pause. He turned and charged again.
Purple thunder danced on his fists, and every punch was carried with heart-pounding power.
Jiang Liujing dodged Wen Xun's attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and with a wave of his staff, more than ten streams of water shot out from behind him like white snakes, quickly rushing forward to lock Wen Xun's hands and feet.
Wen Xun reacted quickly as well, instantly using the lightning around him to tear the water apart, but at the same time the distance between him and Jiang Liujing widened again.
stab-
After a brief, tentative exchange, both men stopped chasing, turned around and looked at each other warily. Whether it was accidental or not, their positions had changed from when they started.
Wen Xun rubbed the ground with his right foot. Compared to Jiang Liujing, he had a more restless aura. This was inevitable. As the attacker, he failed to gain an advantage. For Wen Xun, who pursued a fast and powerful attack, this was already a failure.
He suddenly let out a long breath, looked at Jiang Liujing deeply and said, "You have practiced specifically for this, right?"
Wen Xun knew his speed and strength were on par with a mage warrior's. Even Cassian, the representative from the Wood Academy, was completely unable to react or withstand his close-quarters attack. But Jiang Liujing was exceptionally sharp in dealing with his attacks, reacting almost instantly. Wen Xun didn't believe it was innate.
Jiang Liujing did not answer, but raised the staff in his hand again, and instantly a ball of blue light flew out from the top of the staff.
Wen Xun had already realized in the previous battle that Jiang Liujing and he should both be at the peak of the third level, which really lived up to Mo Ya's evaluation of him as "abnormal".
He gritted his teeth, and his figure turned into a flash of light, which split into dozens of water arrows after flying out, and quickly shuttled through the attack. Because the speed was too fast, no one could see that faint scale patterns had appeared on the skin of his arms and cheeks.
When he broke through to Jiang Liujing, he shouted, "Help me, Ali, don't let him get away!"
Jiang Liujing's body suddenly stopped when he was about to move, as if he had become hundreds of times heavier. A huge force pulled his body down, forcing him to be unable to move an step.
He was shocked. What is the ability of the contracted beast?
But he didn't see Wen Xun's contracted beast. When was it summoned?
Just as he was wondering, he saw a faint gray airflow rising from Wen Xun.
It was like swirling gray smoke, which gradually coalesced into a light gray-purple. When the color reached its richest, the smoke suddenly transformed into a pretty woman in her twenties who appeared behind Wen Xun.
The long lavender hair fluttered in the air like an elegant blooming flower. The woman closed her eyes and lay on Wen Xun's back, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him.
With her small movement, the power of thunder on Wen Xun suddenly increased dozens of times. Such a terrifying growth not only made Jiang Liujing, who was closest to her, shrink his pupils, but also made the other spectators exclaim in surprise.
"A humanoid contracted beast? Has it reached the ninth level?"
"How could a ninth-level mythical beast be willing to form a contract with a third-level human? Impossible! Is it crazy? A contract partner like that wouldn't be able to unleash its full power!"
"It doesn't matter if he can't perform well. Even if he only performs 10% or 20% of his ability, it will be enough for him to win the game."
Even Principal Laviere restrained his cheerful smile this time and looked at the field with a bit of surprise and seriousness.
"I've never seen anyone at level three make a contract with a level nine fantasy beast."
The fact that Vita was able to sign a contract with a ninth-level mythical beast cub at the third level was already eye-catching enough, but compared to Wen Xun, it was not outrageous at all.
"Aideen, do you know about this?"
Dean Aideen of Lei Academy was as shocked as everyone else. After hearing what Principal Laviere said, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, he didn't tell me. I only know he's from Dongli."
Dean Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?" and asked in surprise, "Is he also from Dongli? So is one of our recommended students."
The two immediately began to communicate. It was very rare for two recommended students to come from the same country in a year. Perhaps this would become an opportunity for future cooperation between the two academies.
Laviere ignored them and continued to watch with a half-frown.
The woman who had transformed from a phantom beast was still lying on Wen Xun's back. From her face to her upper body, she looked completely human, but from her waist down there was still a thick mist.
He suddenly said, "No, this aura is not that of a ninth-level mythical beast."
On the field, Jiang Liujing was briefly confused for a moment before calming down.
His feet couldn't move, but he could still lift his arms. He quickly summoned an ice shield to block the oncoming attack, but this time the ice shield was almost unable to rebound the attack and soon shattered.
Jiang Liujing's face was dignified. There was only one reason he could do this: the opponent's power level was far higher than his.
He looked at Wen Xun and the purple-haired woman opposite him. In just a short while, the power in Wen Xun had increased to a terrifying level. Dense purple lightning crawled all over his body like swimming snakes, and the transparent air was torn into black cracks wherever it passed.
After Wen Xun broke the ice shield, he took a few steps back and did not continue.
He slowly moved his arms amidst the thunder, a teeth-grinding crackling of joints echoing, and his hair stood on end. His initially wild hairstyle quickly became a non-mainstream afro, becoming unsightly.
"Surrender." Wen Xun also knew that he looked bad at the moment, so he quickened his pace and said to Jiang Liujing in a deep voice, "I admit that you are a formidable opponent. If I could, I would not want to use Ali's power against you, but now I have to do so. You should be able to feel Ali's power. You can't win."
He spoke with great confidence, trusting the strength of his contracted beast immensely.
The woman named "Ali" raised her face slightly from his shoulder when she heard that. She still had her eyes closed, but the corners of her lips were raised in joy.
Their faces were too close to each other, and Jiang Liujing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that their facial features seemed somewhat similar.
He lowered his eyes thoughtfully, as if thinking about something, and Wen Xun waited patiently. In his opinion, the battle was over the moment he summoned the contracted beast.
Ah Li was certainly not the ninth-tier mythical beast her followers had speculated about. She was only sixth-tier, possessing a form that was half human, half soul. Her race was found only within the Dongli region, exceedingly rare outside, and not even listed in the general mythical beast encyclopedia.
Her clan is very special. As a mythical beast, they possess a special ability that is particularly suitable for contracts - power transfer.
Even if the degree of compatibility is average, this ability can be used to lend most of the power of the phantom beast to the contractor.
What's more, the compatibility between Wen Xun and Ali is not low, and the transfer of power can even reach 80%. In other words, the person standing in front of Jiang Liujing is a fifth-level peak magician!
You know, the power of the phantom beast depends on the magic power of the magician himself. If other third-level magicians contracted a sixth-level phantom beast, the power that the phantom beast could exert would be at most fourth-level. However, due to Ali's special nature, the loss caused by this level gap was drastically reduced.
