"Reed, it seems like these Easterners aren't treating us seriously," a woman with a few obvious moles on her face from the German team said.
Everyone understood what the woman was trying to say. The China team's lineup did not seem to be as strong as they thought.
Every country would use their full strength in the finals. China was considered a dark horse this year, as they had made it to the finals. However, as a country that had not made it to the finals for many years, they were not going all out in the first match. Instead, they were taking it easy. The German team did not understand what the Easterners were thinking.
Did they really think the Chinese team could take on an ancient, powerful nation that had rarely tasted defeat?
"Don't they like to preserve their strength? Let's show them what we're made of. We won't give them a chance to substitute. We'll cripple all five of their members in one go and end the match as soon as possible. That way, we'll be able to preserve our strength for tomorrow's match," the Ice Mage from Munich said.
"Don't let your guard down, they might be probing us on purpose," the cautious captain, Johnson, said.
The five teams were around a hundred and fifty meters apart. The diameter of the Golden Veil Battlefield was around three hundred meters. It felt like they were in a desert when they walked into it. Even though it was Venice surrounded by water, it was dry and scorching!
The battlefield was extremely realistic. The two teams were standing on two hills. The hills were not too uneven. As the two teams began to cast their spells, the sand on the hills slowly rose into the air.
On the German team's side, the first spell to appear was a strong wind blowing at the top of the hill. The wind kept spinning and sucking the sand into the air …
The sand continued to accumulate and gradually formed a sand cloud above the German team. It was obvious that the sand cloud was under the control of a certain Mage. Together with the wind, it provided the German team with a strong layer of protection!
…
"They're pretty good at using the environment. Check out my sandcastle!" Zhao Manyan was not willing to be outdone. He stomped his foot heavily on the sand dune and used his magic to shape the sand into a sturdy wall, eventually forming the shape of a sandcastle.
The five members of the China team stood on the sandcastle as if they were in a defensive fortress. The destructive spells would have to destroy the sandcastle first if they wanted to harm them!
"Mark of Earth!" Zhao Manyan once again activated his Magic Tool, spreading the power of the ring that could enhance the power of Earth Magic.
These ring imprints were the sturdy mageweath barriers that could be reinforced by 20%!
"Your sandcastle is a bit ugly," Jiang Shaoxu complained.
"I'm not a fucking architect. It's fine as long as it's thick and hard. Why do you care about the appearance? Some parts of us men are also ugly, but they're useful!" Zhao Manyan said.
Jiang Shaoxu spat and didn't talk to this hooligan anymore.
Jiang Shaoxu firmly believed that the reason why Mofan and Zhao Manyan were so close to each other was because they had reached the peak of filthy souls and appreciated each other!
"It's the second tier of the Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellfire!" Nan Jue said to everyone as he looked up.
The first tier of the Sky-Flame Funeral: Fiery Rain poured down like a rain of fire. When the fire came into contact with an object, it would immediately ignite into a sea of flames.
However, the Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellfire was completely different. There was only a single Hellfire Boulder in the sky. As it approached the ground, one would realize how enormous the Hellfire Boulder was. The boulder would even emit a roar like a devil from hell!
It was different from the usual red flames. The Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellfire Boulder was dark green in color. The flames outside the Hellfire Boulder were dark green, too!
"BOOM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Following a huge explosion, the Hellfire Boulder produced a shocking wave of sand. The sand particles flying into the air were instantly vaporized by the green flames. Even the impregnable defense that Zhao Manyan had constructed collapsed in an instant!
The Hellfire Boulder exploded, producing a terrifying shockwave that swept across half of the stage and shook the barrier on the outside!
The Chinese team was in a complete mess.
Their formation was scattered by the powerful flames. No one thought the German team would be able to cast such a powerful Hellfire without even using a normal probing spell. Here comes the spell!
It took some time for the Hellfire Boulder to calm down. Zhao Manyan's face was covered in sand. His body was already showing signs of burns.
"Damn it, how did that guy break through my defense so easily!?" Zhao Manyan cursed angrily.
Zhao Manyan and Mofan had practiced together before. Even Mofan's spells had failed to break through his defense. How did the German do it?
"Can your defensive Mage be any more useless!?" Mu Tingying snapped furiously, her hair disheveled.
"Something isn't right with that destructive Mage. Zhao Manyan, you should strengthen your defense again," Ai Jiangtu said.
"That guy took out Akira Matsuki with a single spell. There must be something hidden in his spell that weakens his defense," Nan Jue said.
"It's happening again, that guy is really quick at constructing a Star Constellation!"
A sinister green flame appeared once again. This time, the flames did not come from the sky, but from the sky. Instead, they turned into a long, thick, and enormous fiery python that lunged at the team!
There was only one fiery python, yet it was like an enormous monster. Its entire body was engulfed in sinister green flames. Its mouth was wide open, and its body was set aflame for a few dozen meters!
"I don't believe you can break through my defense again, Water Curtain!" Zhao Manyan was infuriated. A brilliant Water Star Constellation appeared around him.
The light of the constellation flashed, and a heavenly curtain enchantment was erected. The crystalline blue water curtain was filled with the power of protection.
"Totem Seal!" Zhao Manyan did not hold back this time. He summoned the power of the wooden clapper.
The Totem Barrier appeared in the form of ancient words. It imprinted itself on the Water Curtain that Zhao Manyan had set up!
"A Soul-grade Seed of Water, and the Totem Barrier is strengthened by fifty percent. I would like to see how you're going to break through it!" Zhao Manyan was infuriated.
Normally, a spell's defense was higher than its damage. Normally, a destructive spell would struggle to break through a defensive spell of the same level. Zhao Manyan knew his opponent was the most outstanding destructive Mage in the World College Tournament, yet he believed he could make his opponent feel despair!
"Huhuhuhu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The Water Curtain shuddered as the green fiery python rammed into it. When Zhao Manyan thought the fiery python was going to collapse, the fiery python went through the Water Curtain and lunged at the team!
"Zhao Manyan, what the hell are you doing!?" Mu Tingying yelled.
The fiery python pounced at them, scorching the ground and leaving a mess behind. The Chinese team suddenly lost their formation. They had no choice but to back away to avoid the fiery python.
Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded, too. He watched the fiery python destroying the sand dune in disbelief!
"It went through the barrier, did it just go through it?" Zhao Manyan murmured.
The Water Curtain was still standing. How did the fiery python reach them? It completely defied the logic of magic!
"Defensive spells are ineffective against his destructive spells, or should I say, his destructive spells are able to penetrate the elemental defenses? It must have something to do with his Innate Talent. No wonder he was able to defeat Akira Matsuki with a single attack. It must be because Akira Matsuki didn't expect his defensive spells to be ineffective against the fiery python!" Jiang Shaoxu blurted out.
It had already happened twice. The team was already confused as to why Zhao Manyan's sandcastle was ineffective against the fiery python the first time.
Now, the fiery python even went through the Water Curtain. It was obvious that it was not because Zhao Manyan's defense was weak, but because his opponent's magic was unique!
The magic was extremely rare. It must have something to do with his Innate Talent!
"If our defensive spells are ineffective against his destructive spells, is there any point in continuing the fight? Once we run out of our magic equipment and armor, we are just sitting ducks for him!" Zhao Manyan said with a gloomy face.
The two waves of spells had forced the team to use four pieces of their defensive equipment. Normally, they would only use their defensive equipment as their last line of defense in a duel. However, they had already paid such a great price in such a short period of time!
"Jiang Shaoxu and I will keep him busy. Old Ai, you better put some pressure on the others," Nan Jue said.
Jiang Shaoxu was a Psychic Magician, the nemesis of a destructive Magician.
However, Nan Jue believed it was impossible for the enemy to not have his Psychic Magic prepared. Jiang Shaoxu kept putting pressure on the enemy's Psychic Magic, while Jiang Shaoxu used the Sound Element to disrupt the enemy's Psychic Magic. The destructive Magician called Reed would not be able to cast any Advanced Spells!
By doing so, they were basically sacrificing two of their members to keep one of their opponents busy. As such, Ai Jiangtu, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Tingying had to deal with the other four members of the German team.
However, they had no other choice. The destructive Magician's Innate Talent was too terrifying. He could easily crush their entire team on his own. If they did not try their best to keep him busy, they would suffer a great loss before they had to wait for someone else to replace them.
"Can we come up with a plan? There's no way that guy can really ignore our defenses. There must be something we haven't discovered yet!" Zhao Manyan said.
"Go figure it out yourself!" Mu Tingying harrumphed coldly. She followed Ai Jiangtu to take on the other members of the German team.
Zhao Manyan was unwilling to admit defeat, yet he could not afford to put himself in danger again.
If they were unable to defend themselves against the guy's destructive spells, it did not mean they were helpless against the spells of the others, either!
