The dueling ground was tightly surrounded by a barrier. Outside the barrier, there were defensive Mages in charge of blocking the enormous energy that might leak out.
Most of them were Advanced Magicians. The destructive power of an Advanced Spell was enough to shake an entire street. As such, even though the dueling ground was the size of four soccer fields combined, they could not afford to lower their guard.
The world did not encourage duels between Magicians, mainly because it was difficult to control the energy. The stronger a Magician was, the greater the damage they could cause. There were many cases of accidental injuries in duels between Magicians in the past.
The dueling ground was covered in dust at first, as if a simple Wind Spell was enough to sweep a huge cloud of dust into the air.
However, a few old Magicians soon entered the dueling ground. They used their Earth Element and Plant Element to alter the shape of the dueling ground.
Like magic, solid soil, hard mud, high rocks, and long hills, a different landscape was quickly formed in front of everyone's eyes.
Following it were a few old Plant Magicians' performances. Towering trees rose from the ground, forming a dense canopy with long vines and roots, forming a primitive forest!
Not long after, the barren dueling ground had turned into a battlefield in the wild. If it weren't for the barrier and the walls of the Roman Colosseum, it felt like the dueling ground was in the middle of a forest outside the city!
"These people are all professionals in setting up the dueling ground!" Jiang Yu exclaimed when he saw the flawless dueling ground.
To simulate the wild, the Magicians' control of their magic had to be close to the Super Level in order to perfectly recreate the wild in such a short period of time …
There were many types of Magicians. Mofan was a typical Battle-Type Magician. Even though Battle-Type Magicians made up the majority of the population, many forgers, refiners, herbalists, gardeners, architects, and field designers in the city were Magicians, too. Their fighting ability might not be impressive, but they could easily build a town in a short period of time. These Magicians also enjoyed a high status in society.
Mofan was astounded when the field designers finished setting up the dueling ground. He thought the dueling ground would remain the same, but to his surprise, it was possible to set up the dueling ground as they pleased.
As such, the dueling ground of the dueling ground was not as rigid as it used to be. It was necessary for a Battle-Type Magician to learn how to utilize the environment to gain an advantage.
Considering that different Magicians had different Elements, the terrain would be more convenient for the Magicians. As such, the dueling ground of the dueling ground in Venice was set up on the spot after the participants were chosen. The dueling ground was usually random …
"The dueling ground in the wild won't give either side an advantage. It's a fairly average dueling ground," Advisor Feng Li said. ζ
Since the dueling ground was Magicians, the dueling ground of the dueling ground..
The Japanese team was led by their captain, Shou Watani. They were led by Akira Matsuki, who majored in the dark element, and the rising star, Yang Jie. The other two were a short woman and a fat man.
"Participants, please take your positions," the judge announced.
The contestants went to their designated spots one after another. Meanwhile, the people sitting high up in the spectators' seats began to discuss among themselves. Since the information about the contestants of the national teams was kept a secret before the tournament, the information about the contestants of each country became one of the hottest topics. Many information brokers would even dig up the details of the contestants' experiences since the day they Awakened their Talent!
"It's my first time fighting in such a huge dueling ground. I'm a little nervous," Jiang Yu said softly.
"What are you nervous about? Just beat the crap out of them!" Jiang Shaoxu said confidently.
"Guan Yu, keep an eye on Akira Matsuki. His main Element is the Shadow Element," Ai Jiangtu said to Guan Yu.
"Got it."
After the dueling ground was set up, the countdown for the fireworks took place in the sky. When the fireworks exploded in the center of the dueling ground, the opening match of the World College Tournament had officially begun!
…
"BAM ~"
A loud crash came from above. The brilliant light of the fireworks landed on Mu Ningxue's snow-white face. She slowly raised her gaze and focused on her opponents.
A gust of wind blew, blowing the hair beside Mu Ningxue's face.
Mu Ningxue took a deep breath. She could sense an unusual presence in the wind. It seemed gentle, but it was actually deadly!
"There's poison in the wind," Mu Ningxue said confidently to her teammates with a stern look.
Mu Ningxue's secondary Element was Wind. She clearly knew that the pure wind was not like that. The Japanese team did not seem to be doing anything, yet they had already launched a terrifying attack on their team.
The wind was poisonous, too. The poisonous powder was even smaller than the smallest dust particle. It was impossible to see it with the naked eye. The Magicians had to rely on their sharp senses to detect it!
"Those assholes are trying to set us up. I think it's the long-faced man who used the poisonous powder on us," cursed Jiang Yu.
Jiang Shaoxu was relatively calm. He glanced sideways at Jiang Yu and said, "You should stop hanging out with people like Mofan. Why do you keep cursing? You weren't like that when you first joined the team."
"Wind Barrier!"
Mu Ningxue uttered softly. She spun around elegantly like a butterfly dancing in the wind. Her loose outfit drifted in the wind, too.
The wind began to swirl. The team was standing on solid ground. The yellow sand on the ground was swept into the air, forming the outline of a barrier formed by the wind. Inside the barrier, there was no wind at all. The poisonous powder that was carried by the wind was blocked by the barrier.
As long as the poisonous powder was carried by the wind, it was easy to deal with. Mu Ningxue's control of the wind was outstanding, too!
"They found out. I told you that your plan is only effective against immature Magicians," Akira Matsuki said mockingly.
Having said that, Akira Matsuki walked into the dense woods. He vanished as soon as he stepped into the shade of the trees. No one knew where he went, as if he had turned invisible. Only the old Mages could barely catch a glimpse of a shadow moving rapidly among the trees.
The solid ground was connected to the woods. Akira Matsuki was obviously trying to sneak into the enemy's camp through the woods. However, as an assassin-type Dark Magician, it was impossible for him to make his move when the enemy was on high alert. He hid in the woods, waiting for his comrades to create a perfect opportunity for him.
It was fine if he did not make a move, but once he made his move, he would kill!
It was Akira Matsuki's principle!
This principle required the most patience!!
…
"Someone has gone into the woods," Jiang Shaoxu said.
The woods were densely packed. The light was unable to penetrate the woods. Not only did the woods provide the Plant Magicians with an advantage, it was also the territory that a Shadow Magician could freely move through. If any of them went into the woods, they would be knocked out by the enemy!
"Guan Yu, keep an eye on him," Ai Jiangtu said.
The woods basically ran across the entire battlefield. No matter where the team moved, they would still be close to the woods. It meant that the creature hiding in the woods could attack them at any time and from any place.
Everyone was an Advanced Magician. Even though they could use Basic and Intermediate Spells to find an opportunity to attack one another, they still had to rely on Advanced Spells to determine the outcome of the battle. If the creature was hiding nearby like a shadow, they would have to be extra careful when they were constructing Advanced Star Constellations. It was like a sharp thorn under their feet. They would feel pain if they made any sudden movements!
"I can cause them trouble too. There's no need for me to go into the woods and fight him," Guan Yu said.
His opponent was an Assassin, and so was Guan Yu. If the man could ambush his teammates like a phantom, Guan Yu could do the same, or even better.
Defending was not Guan Yu's fighting style. He had no intention of looking for Akira Matsuki in the woods.
"Then you better be a threat to them, especially the destructive Magician!" Ai Jiangtu said.
A destructive Magician …
A destructive Magician was usually the core of a team of Magicians. Once a destructive Magician finished casting his spell, the damage he would inflict would be unimaginable. As such, the destructive Magician had to keep the enemy busy. They could not afford to let the enemy cast his destructive spells endlessly at them!
Guan Yu was well aware of the intricacies of a team battle. He stuck close to the ground and used the Wind Circulation that Mu Ningxue had summoned previously to cover a distance of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. He was slowly approaching the enemy's destructive Magician.
Guan Yu was also roaming around the enemy's formation. His eyes were fixed on the enemy's destructive Magician. If he was not mistaken, the chubby man was their destructive Magician. As such, Guan Yu had to keep an eye on him.
"You won't be able to cast an Advanced Spell in front of me!" Guan Yu looked at the chubby man with a confident grin.
…
"They don't seem to have a Summoner. We will have a great advantage in a head-on battle!" Jiang Yu quickly completed the Summoning Ritual when he saw that the enemy had yet to summon their Summoned Beast. He summoned the enormous Rock Monster!
