After bidding farewell to the rainy Midsummer, the Flowing Fire Month was about to begin. In this tepid season, the Rising Star Tournament that had been in preparation for nearly a year had finally begun.
For the spectators, the first day of the Rising Star Tournament was very exciting. Not only were there ups and downs, but there were also highlights.
There were only three things that people were talking about in the tournament grounds, taverns, and other places.
The first was the most exciting match of the day.
'Serene Light' Xili versus' Cold Eyed Cat 'Ye Hyuk.
Xili's background was unknown. She was a very gloomy woman. Her body was always shrouded in a gloomy aura. However, there was a faint glow in her eyes from time to time. She was always muttering the word 'hope'. She was like a believer who yearned for the light of hope in the deepest darkness.
'Cold Eyed Cat' Ye Hyuk was from Chilly Winter Academy. His personality was just like his name. He was handsome, but his eyes were extremely cold. Just like a cat, he was cold, elegant, and noble. He was also obviously alienated from others.
Both of them were at the peak of the acolytes' strength. Xili's strength was very strange. It was sometimes gloomy and sometimes bright. It was as if she was standing between light and darkness. Ye Hyuk was not inferior. His understanding of his bloodline had reached a level that even official Magi would be surprised. His transformation into a black cat had almost reached his full beast form.
Although Ye Hyuk was a bloodline user, he had a considerable advantage in a match of the same level. However, Xili's explosive strength was simply terrifying.
Both of them were on par with each other. The intensity of the match was so intense that the spectators did not dare to make any noise. They were afraid that they would disturb the contestants. Every time they clashed, everyone was so nervous that even their toes were curled up.
It was obvious that this was a very exciting match.
The only regret was that the final result was a little unexpected.
At the end of the match, Xili suddenly admitted defeat and left without looking back. 'Cold Eyed Cat' Ye Hyuk won the match.
There were rumors that Xili admitted defeat to preserve her strength for the next match.
Others said that she was actually a lamp that had run out of oil. She knew that she would not be able to win the next match, so she admitted defeat to save her face.
Of the two rumors, the latter one was more believable. This was because when Xili admitted defeat, the match had already been going on for close to an hour. In fact, both sides were almost exhausted. Ye Koh belonged to the Bloodline Faction, so he could obviously hold on for a longer time. Perhaps Xili had noticed this and admitted defeat on her own accord.
However, rumors were just rumors. No one knew the truth. The only thing they knew was that the Cold Eyed Cat Noh was extremely dissatisfied with his opponent's surrender. In the next few matches, his opponent didn't even have a chance to speak. It was obvious how angry he was.
Although Xili had admitted defeat, this match was still considered the most exciting match of the day. Everyone who watched it felt good. Even if the ending was a little regretful, there were too many regretful things in the world. It was not easy to be satisfied with the process.
The second hot topic was also a competition.
Although this match wasn't as nerve-wracking as the match between Xili and Nobuyuki, it was still a highlight compared to the other matches. This match was the showcase match of the Rising Star Tournament — Spring Dance versus Deceiver.
Overall, the match was rather dull. Apart from Deceiver's performance at the beginning, the rest of the match was basically one-sided. However, Spring Dance's battle aesthetics from beginning to end made the match look dreamy and dreamy, which added a lot of points to the match.
Besides, most of the audience were supernaturals. They weren't stupid and could easily see the secret behind this showcase match.
Before the competition, Spring Dance was already recognized by almost everyone as the winner. With this conclusion in mind, the audience calmed down a lot. It was worth the ticket price to see the beautiful battle aesthetics.
The third hot topic was also the biggest highlight of the day.
Angor, the person who had been at the top of the wave of public opinion, finally showed up.
As soon as he showed up, he showed up as a formal wizard and a member of the Research Department at the most important event in Floating Mech City in recent years. In everyone's eyes, Angor's entrance was completely covered with glory.
His appearance made all kinds of guesses in the past few days come to a conclusion.
Many people who bet that he would not make it to the next round felt extremely sad. At the same time, the apprentices who came from the same generation as Angor felt ashamed.
In an era full of geniuses, Angor was like a beacon in the eyes of all apprentices who pursued the path of wizardry in the coming dark age.
It didn't matter if these people were jealous of him, cursing him, discussing him, or admiring him. He had already left them far behind.
However, the heated discussions outside did not matter to Angor. He had already left the noisy main city area and came to Ashillia Comprehensive Academy alone.
Angor stood in the center of the circular classroom with a dome. Around him were rows of circular seats that extended upward.
The seats were not full. They were sparse.
It was not that no one wanted to take Angor's class. It was just that Angor had set a strict limit on the number of people in the class.
The circular classroom could hold nearly 500 people, and there were more than 300 seats. Of course, it was sparse when it was divided among 50 people.
Angor looked around and saw many familiar faces among the 50 people. For example, Baroque's student, Glenn, who was in his second year of middle school. Another example was a man who was waving at Angor from the front row of the seats.
He looked a little sloppy. His gray hair was blown up, and his goggles had several halos. His wrinkled alchemy robe made him look like a sloppy alchemist.
His name was Nelson, and Angor had met him once before.
When Angor wanted to use Sunders to save Jon and return to Fey Continent, Thewis was the one who sent him to Parmigi Highlands. However, due to the impending plane fusion, the space around Parmigi Highlands was unstable, so Thewis only sent Angor to Yali Duchy, which was near Parmigi Highlands.
Angor took Tulu and the other talents from Yali Duchy to Parmigi Highlands on Gondola. Along the way, they ran into someone who controlled an alchemy puppet, who wanted to rob Gondola.
This man was Nerossen.
Nelson recognized Angor and gave up on the idea. Instead, he began to talk about alchemy with Angor.
"I was going to invite you to study in Ashilie Highlands. But now you're teaching …" Nelson sighed when he saw Angor looking at him.
Angor nodded. He did not have time to greet Nelson right away since they were still in class.
There were still several minutes before the class started. Angor kept looking at the people who came to attend his class.
What made him feel slightly regretful was that although there were many familiar faces, these people … were basically not proficient in enchantment and alchemy.
Nelson, for example, was a mechanical alchemist who was an expert in puppeteering.
Another example was Glenn. Angor didn't even know that Glenn was an alchemist.
The only one Angor knew for sure was the female apprentice named Bo Li.
Back in Granny Fingernail's alchemy room, Angor saw Bo Li discussing alchemy with other students.
As for the others, Angor looked around. Judging from their alchemy robes, they were either mechanical alchemists or alchemists. Some of them even studied Apothecary.
Angor rubbed his temples. Luckily, he had been revising the alchemy books he recorded in the Nightmare Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to talk about enchantment alchemy.
Of course, Angor was still going to talk about enchantment.
Although he had a large reserve of knowledge, when it came to other alchemy, he only had theoretical knowledge. Enchantment was his main focus. Since there were too many people here who didn't know anything about enchantment, he planned to talk about alchemy techniques that had something to do with it.
For example, alchemy illusions, which he was most familiar with.
Although the alchemy illusion was a combination of illusion and alchemy, the key point of the technique was not the illusion, but the technique of combining energy with alchemy. After all, not everyone knew how to cast illusions.
He decided to analyze everything from the simple to the difficult, from the important points to the difficult ones.
