138: Chapter 138 Starfall College
Bang!
The Water-element Mage fell several meters behind the two girls.
He rolled a few times before barely managing to stand up.
His gaze swept over the four opponents in front of him, then frantically searched for his teammates.
The Ice-element Mage and another Water-element Mage had already been heavily injured by the Lightning Mage and lost their combat ability, and the Light-element Mage...
He had already been blasted away by a fireball.
He was rescued in time by a referee.
Now, only he remained.
One against four.
On the other side, there was a core Lightning Mage, a skilled Earth-element Mage whose defense was like a tortoise shell, and two other First-Order Mages.
Moreover, he had already taken a hit, his back was still in searing pain, his jacket was torn, and his skin underneath was already bruised.
What more could he do?
Before the four could attack again, the Water-element Mage raised his hand and surrendered.
The referee immediately announced the end of the match.
The projection orb cast the name of Zhanshen Magic Academy into the air, declaring their victory.
The audience seats erupted in cheers once more.
The War God Academy's section was particularly loud, with students cheering joyfully for their first victory.
The Prodigy Academy side was silent, the students' expressions grim.
The four students from War God Academy walked out of the arena with their heads held high, while their opponents helped each other off the field.
Without delay.
The projection orb immediately displayed the names of the academies for the next match.
All academies already knew the order through the schedule, and the participating students were waiting nearby.
As soon as the names appeared, they immediately walked onto the arena.
Next to appear.
Was Stardrop Magic Academy, ranked second last year, against Heishan Magic Academy, ranked twelfth.
And Black Mountain was Lin Fan's first opponent in the individual competition.
The students of Stardrop Magic Academy wore white athletic school uniforms.
Star insignias were printed on both sides of their chests.
One side had a vivid elemental pattern, and the other side had a number representing their grade.
All the students from Stardrop Academy participating were boys, all of them Ice-element.
The students of Heishan Magic Academy, on the other hand, wore black collared jackets with epaulets on their shoulders.
Girls wore knee-length pleated skirts, and boys wore black pants.
Everyone wore black fingerless gloves, with armbands of varying colors tied to their left arms.
A trace of amusement flickered in Lin Fan's eyes.
Black Mountain Academy's uniform reminded him of military academy uniforms from his previous life.
The two teams stood on opposite sides of the arena.
Nearly twenty meters apart, with two referees standing on the sidelines.
The students from both teams looked calm, gazing at each other from afar.
The ranking gap from the previous year was not large, and their strength was evenly matched.
The audience seats buzzed, everyone filled with anticipation.
The referee didn't make them wait long; with a command, the match began.
The next moment, all eight students on the field moved simultaneously.
The students of Stardrop Academy summoned pale blue stars, forming a Star Array; all of them were Ice-element.
"Ice-sealed Tide!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
The next second.
Violent cold air erupted from the Star Array, frost condensed in the air, and the temperature plummeted.
The ground in front of them quickly froze, forming a thick layer of ice that spread thirty meters forward.
The students of Black Mountain Academy reacted the moment the ground froze.
All four retreated several meters, avoiding the frozen area.
Even standing far away, the biting cold still assaulted them.
Once trapped by the ice, their movements would be severely restricted.
The other two students from Stardrop Academy were not idle either.
As Ice-element Mages, their resistance to cold far surpassed other elemental mages of the same tier.
Seeing the Black Mountain students retreat to a safe area.
These two students in white athletic uniforms charged directly into the frozen zone.
Ignoring the frost accumulating on them, they rushed towards the four in black, pale blue Star Arrays swirling above their heads.
Seeing this, the four in black continued to widen the distance.
"Ice-sealed Tide!"
The two students from Stardrop Academy stopped at the edge of the thirty-meter frozen zone and unleashed cold air again.
The ground continued to freeze, and the frost spread even faster than before.
The students of Black Mountain Academy were surrounded by thick ice and cold wind.
If they didn't leave the Ice Domain, their bodies would stiffen!
But how could their opponents let them escape so easily?
The two boys who cast first had already reformed their Star Arrays and shot Ice Fangs at the four Black Mountain students.
Seeing the incoming Ice Fangs, the Black Mountain students temporarily gave up retreating.
The cold air had already stiffened their movements, and it was too late to dodge.
They decided to counterattack directly, stars swirling around them, quickly forming Star Arrays.
One cast Thunder-Type magic, and another summoned long vines.
"Vine Bind!"
"Thunder Ball!"
A giant green Star Array unfolded on the ground.
Two giant vines broke through the earth, writhing like venomous snakes, lashing out at the Ice Fangs in the air.
Another person condensed a Thunder Ball in their palm and hurled it fiercely at one of the Ice Fangs.
Bang!
The Thunder Ball and Ice Fang collided, both exploding into a pervasive white cold mist.
The two long vines, meanwhile, shattered the remaining Ice Fangs, turning them into cold mist.
This wasn't over yet; another student from Black Mountain Academy formed a dazzling white Star Array.
Summon elements!
"Beast Summon!"
The girl let out a low cry, white light flashing in her eyes.
Roar...
A deafening roar emanated from the Star Array.
The next moment, a huge black shadow leaped out, landing in front of the Black Mountain students.
It was a Giant Tiger Beast of ordinary rank!
The giant tiger faced the Stardrop Academy students, roaring again, revealing fangs sharp as steel.
This was the power of Tier 1 Summoning Magic.
It could randomly summon an ordinary-ranked Demonic Beast to assist in battle.
The students of Stardrop Academy looked at the giant tiger, full of shock, and the four of them froze in place for a moment, staring at its sharp fangs.
"Charge!"
The girl who summoned the giant tiger gave the command, pointing her finger directly at the opposite side.
The giant tiger received the order, leaped, and charged fiercely towards the Stardrop Academy team.
For an ordinary-ranked Demonic Beast, its speed was already extremely fast.
"Attack it!"
The white-clad students quickly recovered, one shouted, and all four simultaneously summoned stars.
"Ice Fang!"
All four shot out Ice Fangs.
Under the enhancement of the Ice Domain, the magic power was slightly increased, and the Ice Fangs were faster and larger.
Roar...
The giant tiger roared skyward, its huge tiger claws fiercely swiping out, shattering several Ice Fangs.
But many Ice Fangs still hit its body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of magic hitting the giant tiger was extremely harsh.
But its skin and flesh were extremely tough, and the magic only left shallow wounds.
Even so, the giant tiger was still blasted sideways to the ground.
"Keep attacking!"
Another student from Stardrop Academy shouted.
Everyone cast spells again, magic raining down on the roaring giant tiger.
While their opponents were distracted by the giant tiger, the black-clad students quickly exited the Ice Domain.
One of them shivered slightly from staying in the ice Domain for too long.
The cheers of the audience grew even more enthusiastic.
This match was even more exciting than the last.
The appearance of the Demonic Beast pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
At the very top of the audience seats.
Jiang Tianhai and important members of the Alliance were watching the match with great interest.
The Fifth-Order Mage was also among them.
His expression was serious.
But his gaze wasn't truly on the arena.
These battles were too ordinary for him.
He was truly looking for the person in the other VIP box at the auction!
