"Hey, did you watch the knockout round this time?"
"I did. Those are called.... Magus Maidens, right? What kind of power is that? It's so perverted!"
"That's ridiculous. That kind of power.... Sigh, I can more or less understand why the Council of Chiefs allowed them to join. To be honest, I kind of want to join the Magus Maidens Faction.... "
"Hahaha, dream on. Their names are clearly written as Magus Maidens. If you want to learn from them, I'm afraid you'll have to change your gender first."
"Huh? Wait, according to what you said, doesn't that mean this faction will become the faction with the most female apprentices in the White Tower in the future? In other words, there's hope for my girlfriend? "
"That's a strange way of thinking.... But I like it!"
Just as the Chiefs expected, after the Magus Maidens showed their strength in the first round of the knockout round, most of the mages accepted them a lot more. After all, many of them had doubts about this faction before because they had not seen or experienced the power of the Magus Maidens with their own eyes. In the knockout round, the Magus Maidens showed their strength. The mages were not fools. They could naturally see the characteristics and power of the Magus Maidens. After confirming that the Magus Maidens were not much weaker than their own faction, they quickly accepted the appearance of this new faction.
Of course, the most important reason was.... This was probably the first all-female faction in the history of the White Tower!
Although there were female mages in the White Tower, the ratio of men to women in the White Tower was about 100: 1. Female mages were quite rare. The reason was simple. Mages had to be promoted from apprentices, and apprentices always had to do the dirtiest, most tiring, and most dangerous work. It could be said that an unlucky apprentice could die in a magic ritual if they were not careful.
Under such circumstances, the powerful families would rather pay for a mentor to teach their daughters magic. When they had enough strength, they could directly take the examination to become an official mage instead of starting from an apprentice. Because of this, most of the female mages in the White Tower were noble ladies or the daughters of merchants. Of course, there were also ordinary people, but it was too difficult for these ordinary people to advance in the White Tower. In addition, it was common for mages to oppress apprentices, and ordinary girls couldn't bear it.
Therefore, the White Tower was a place where there were more men than women. If a faction made up of only female Mages joined, it would be like a goddess descending to the other Mages!
While the discussion was in full swing, Little Black and the others were also very excited.
"These mages are too easy to deal with, big brother."
After three or four consecutive elimination matches, all of them were crushing. At this moment, Little Black was simply bursting with confidence.
Breaker! "She was practically unstoppable, and no Mage could withstand a single blow from her.
"It's a piece of cake. Looks like we'll definitely win this competition!"
"Xiao, Xiao Hei, you're too …"
Hearing Little Black's proud words, Ilya hurriedly pulled her back and wanted to say a few more words, but Little Black waved her hand.
"What's the matter? This is how it is. Look at these mages, they're so weak that they can't even take a hit from me. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Hehe, I advise you to be more careful."
Looking at Little Black, Fangzheng chuckled.
"These mages are smarter than you think. Do you really think that the mages cultivated by the White Tower are all idiots? The mages who are capable of fighting you are now observing you and thinking about how to defeat you. "
Fangzheng said this from his own experience. When he first came to the arena to challenge the stairway to heaven, he relied on his time stop, spellcasting, and the sword skills of a Holy Knight. At the start, Fangzheng was undefeatable in the stairway. However, when he reached the hundredth place, Fangzheng could no longer continue.
Those mages were not idiots. After watching Fangzheng in so many competitions, they naturally had some understanding of his strength. So after that, Fangzheng was often sniped by all kinds of attacks. Because of that, Fangzheng decisively gave up the idea of continuing to move up the rankings, and ran to the cicada world to train his mind.
This was also another reason why Fangzheng brought the girls along. Fangzheng also found that the girls had been following him for a long time, so they had more or less become arrogant. Maybe Fiat was a little better, but look at Little Black, it was as if she was about to fly into the sky.
It was time to let them suffer a little, and let them know that their strength was not omnipotent.
But …
"Master."
At that moment, Xiao Meiyan who was beside him suddenly spoke up with some difficulty.
"I … I don't think I can last for a few more rounds."
"I understand. If you can't win, just surrender. After all, this is just a competition. I didn't say you have to win."
Looking at Xiao Meiyan's apologetic face, Fangzheng reached out his hand and patted her head. The rules of this competition were the most unfriendly to Xiao Meiyan. Her ability was completely support-type, so if she did not kill anyone, Xiao Meiyan was basically no threat. After all, Xiao Meiyan's' Time Stop 'was different from Fangzheng's. Although Xiao Meiyan's' Time Stop 'could freeze the world, once she came into contact with someone, that person would immediately be released from the state of' Time Stop '.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Xiao Meiyan to perform a 'time pause and carry the opponent off the stage' maneuver. However, the nature of the match dictated that Xiao Meiyan could not use the Machine Gunner's Frag Grenade or RPG …. After all, those were things that could kill a player.
Apart from that, Xiao Meiyan only had the power of the Dragonkin as Fangzheng's dependent that she could use.
But as for her martial arts ….
Maybe she should ask Lin Yueru to teach her something about 'Sword Qi Fingers' ….
Therefore, Fangzheng could see that Xiao Meiyan was probably the first among the girls to withdraw. If it were Asami Ba or Sakura Akiko, they might have been able to hold on for a few more rounds. However, Xiao Meiyan's ability, coupled with the rules of the competition, was really too disadvantageous for her ….
If it were a matter of casualties, Xiao Meiyan would have gone on a killing spree. She would have filled the arena with TNT after a 'Time Stop', and the whole arena would have exploded. Then, everything would be fine.
Unfortunately, that was impossible ….
And the facts proved this point.
In the next few days, the girls also encountered trouble one after another. Just as Fangzheng expected, Xiao Meiyan was the first to withdraw. She encountered a Level 4 Shapeshifting mage. Not only was the opponent a Shapeshifting mage, but he was also a barbarian from the Ice and Snow Wilderness. His body was as strong as a bear, and with the enhancement spells of the Shapeshifting mage, Xiao Meiyan was like a mouse trying to pull a tortoise. In the end, the two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and Xiao Meiyan decisively chose to withdraw from the arena.
After all, the rules of the competition did not allow her to kill anyone, so Xiao Meiyan's idea of 'Time Stop' and throwing a missile at the opponent was naturally dashed.
Fangzheng did not say much about it. He just comforted Xiao Meiyan for a while, then turned his attention to the other girls again.
"Master, do you think we can win the championship?"
Nimf, who was standing behind Fangzheng and watching the scene in front of her, asked curiously. Upon hearing Nimf's question, Fangzheng pondered for a moment and frowned.
"That's hard to say. Little Flame's withdrawal is restricted by the rules, but this restriction has no effect on the other little fellows. Especially Xiao Hei … Hmm, if no one can think of a way to deal with the 'Rule' in her hands, that is.
If it's Breaker, I'm afraid she might really be able to win the championship. "
Although according to the routine, the one who danced the most was usually the easiest to slap in the face, from what Fangzheng had seen along the way, it was hard to say whether there was anyone who could successfully slap Xiao Hei in the face. After all, Rule.
Breaker was too much of a cheat. No matter what kind of magic it was, she could cut through it with a single slash. Coupled with Blackie's Heroic Spirit level speed and strength, ordinary Mages were no match for her.
In fact, Xiao Hei's battles always ended the fastest. Basically, Xiao Hei would rush over at the beginning and then project a "Rule!"
Breaker slashed at the opponent, then either kicked them down or knocked them unconscious. Sometimes, the whole process didn't even take a minute.
Faced with such an enemy, ordinary Mages really couldn't do anything to her.
Although Fangzheng felt that the remaining four little fellows had a chance of making it to the end, the second one to withdraw still surprised him.
Because the second one to withdraw was … Fett!
Fett did not underestimate her opponent, nor was she careless. She was completely defeated by her opponent's counter attack. Fett's opponent was a Level 5 Defense Mage. As soon as the battle began, her opponent cast an Elemental Immunity Shield on himself, so all of Fett's lightning attacks were immune.
Seeing that her long-range attacks were ineffective, Fett naturally rushed up with Baruch for close combat.
Unexpectedly, her opponent was already prepared. Taking advantage of Fett's attack, he opened a portal for her and sent her out of the arena.
And so … Fett lost just like that.
"I'm very sorry, teacher …"
Fett, who was standing in front of Fangzheng, lowered her head with a sad look on her face. Fangzheng shook his head. He did not scold her.
"That's normal, Fett. Where there's success, there's failure. Besides, you'll learn more from this failure, won't you? At least in the future, when you meet an enemy, you'll have to consider whether they have other ways to deal with you. "
After Fangzheng comforted her, Fett's expression finally improved a lot.
Fett's elimination also served as a warning to the other girls. Although Fangzheng did not require them to win, the girls were obviously planning to fight for a good ranking in this tournament. Therefore, in the following battles, the remaining four performed quite well.
Except for Blackie's' Rule Breaker '.
Apart from being simple and violent, Illya's [Dream Summoning] and Xiao Ying's [Curlow] cards also caused the participating mages to suffer greatly. If Fiett's attacks were predictable, then the randomness of [Dream Summoning] and the combination of more than fifty [Curlow] cards was enough to make the average mage cry.
As for Naiya, although she was the same as Fett, Naiya's way of fighting was simpler and more violent than Fett's.
That was … direct confrontation!
Fett's power was the elemental power of lightning, so it was easy to be immune to. However, Naiya's cannonball was made of pure magic. Although there were similar energy shields in the main world, there was a limit to them.
Therefore, Naiya's fighting style was basically that she would start with a cannonball, then the opponent would have no choice but to activate the shield. Then, Naiya would increase the power of her cannonball until she completely penetrated the opponent's defense …
Because of this, Naiya gained the nickname 'Little Tyrant' among the mages of the White Tower.
Well, what else could Fangzheng say about this? He could only say that … this was the inevitability of history.
Although the little girls worked very hard in the following battles, they still encountered problems.
And that was … luck.
In the top 16, due to bad luck, Blackie and Xiao Ying were matched against each other, while Illya was matched against Naiya.
In the end, Blackie defeated Xiao Ying, while Naiya defeated Illya. Both of them advanced to the top 8.
Of course, Fangzheng also understood that it was not just luck. The other leaders must have played a part in it as well. But he didn't care. Perhaps it was better this way. After all, if the Sorceress Faction was too domineering, it would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the other eight factions. Fangzheng came here to find believers and an alliance, not to make enemies for himself. If he really wanted to do that, he might as well not accept the invitation from the First Council in the first place.
In the top 8, Blackie, who had been triumphant all the way, finally encountered a difficult opponent.
