Although they felt somewhat sorry for Nuoxi, neither Jiang Kehan nor Ai Lier had considered that Li Hui would lose; the only difference was whether her path to victory would be fraught with difficulties.
However, Jiang Kehan pushed Ai Lier away from her and, while tidying her clothes, spoke to Ai Lier.
"This is the first time I've met a witch from a forbidden faction. Is there anything I should be aware of?"
Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier with curiosity. The Forbidden Sect was the one with the fewest members among the six major magic sects, and it was inherently mysterious.
"Ah, how do you want me to describe it?" Ariel didn't get up; instead, she simply lay down on the sofa, struggling to think of how to describe it.
"Sudden, incomprehensible, bizarre, and impossible to defend against."
"Compared to the instantaneous casting of the heretical faction, which incurs costs, you can clearly see the casting animation of the forbidden faction's spells, but how they take effect and where they take effect are completely incomprehensible."
Jiang Kehan frowned involuntarily as she looked down.
"That sounds a bit eerie..."
At this moment, Li Hui and Nuo Xi had already arrived at the trial grounds. The two looked at each other, Li Hui with his hands in his pockets and his trench coat fluttering slightly.
Nuoxi was shorter than Li Hui. She wore armor that resembled that of a medieval heavy knight, but without a helmet. In her hands were a longsword and a shield.
He looks like a warrior challenging a dragon, and Li Hui is that "dragon".
However, Li Hui, who was clearly unqualified as the "evil dragon," spoke with a somewhat kind intention.
Are you also the Origin Witch?
"Hmm." Nuoxi still had that slightly shy demeanor, but after stepping onto the trial ground, she showed an unyielding tenacity compared to usual, like a stubborn and unyielding rock.
“Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Chief.”
Li Hui smiled, then looked at Nuoxi with a serious expression and said.
"Let's skip the pleasantries. I hope I can satisfy you—as your opponent."
Nuoxi raised her head slightly, lightly touching her sword and shield together. This was the greatest respect in a duel, and only by going all out could she match it.
Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, the host coughed lightly and raised his hand to introduce them to the audience.
"I believe everyone is already familiar with Li Hui, but her opponent, Miss Nuo Xi, is no ordinary person either. She is a research witch who has already obtained two A2 certificates and has made great achievements in the field of magic elements."
"Although we don't know why she would get involved in the witch duel, it's something we'll have to wait and see!"
After a brief warm-up, and to prevent the audience from focusing their attention solely on Li Hui, the host spoke with some excitement.
"Now, please roll your fate tokens to draw the environment!!!"
Li Hui gently tossed his life emblem into the air, while Nuo Xi opposite him appeared somewhat nervous. She used magic to control the life emblem to float to the designated position, her hands still tightly gripping her weapon, staring intently at Li Hui.
As the two life emblems collided, the magic light screen spun rapidly again, revealing an environment resembling a starry sky.
"Oh ho ho, it seems like both of them have a bit of bad luck, ending up in a Star-studded environment." The host scratched his head, his eyes widening slightly, his tone somewhat surprised.
"This is one of the most hostile environments for the little witch. The ubiquitous stardust can bring devastating blows, and it depends a lot on luck."
The term "starry sky" does not refer to meteorites falling from the sky, but rather to a strange and special space, like being in the starry sky, surrounded by tiny lights.
But what's terrifying is that these glimmers of light can suddenly create spatial ripples, which then transform into a special collapse capable of erasing the little witch's existence, like a black hole.
Although this process is almost instantaneous and has some warning signs, the likelihood of it happening increases over time, until it destroys the entire environment, along with the little witch inside.
"What a malicious environment!" Jiang Kehan clicked her tongue in amazement. "This is clearly targeting us turret witches!"
As a turret witch who believes in staying still whenever possible and relying entirely on firepower to destroy the enemy, Jiang Kehan dares to swear on her own chest.
If she draws this map, she might just become depressed.
The most terrifying thing about these faint lights is not their power, but their randomness.
If you're unlucky, the environmental spells that the turret witch painstakingly created can be rendered useless, since the environment can't dodge along with the witch.
The two players on the field, however, remained surprisingly calm.
After the transformation began in the trial grounds, they could only see each other. Li Hui drew her rapier and pointed it at Nuo Xi.
The host remained excited, laughing with a hint of malice.
"Then let's begin!!!"
A massive fireball gathered in her hand and fell between Li Hui and Nuo Xi. Boom!
The moment the explosion occurred, both of them vanished from their original positions.
At the same time, the bursting starlight adorned this space, radiating a dazzling light.
Li Hui rushed straight towards Nuo Xi, like a free-spirited dancer, turning the star-studded decorations into dazzling particles after her dance steps. It looked as if the star-studded decorations deliberately appeared behind her, rather than her constantly dodging the other party.
Nuoxi, while continuing to move, pressed her longsword against the ground, and her magic transformed into strange patterns that began to spread around her.
"Li Hui is in some trouble." Yang Xiling, watching the duel below from inside the private room, murmured in surprise.
"But isn't this school team's prestige a bit too high?" She looked at the composed Wu Yuhan beside her with a hint of doubt and tentatively asked.
Whether it's Li Hui, Jiang Kehan, Ai Lier, or Nuo Xi below, their strength levels have all surpassed the normal level.
Although it's a bit underhanded, An Meng is the weakest among them, and the only one whose strength is close to normal.
"You can guess." Wu Yuhan held the teacup and gently blew on it.
"However, I only gave special treatment to Jiang Kehan. I don't know what happened to the others."
She gazed at the ripples on the water's surface, her eyes filled with mystery, as if she were witnessing some kind of "future" that had already occurred.
"But isn't this a good thing?"
Chapter 172 "Insects"
As the group talked, the pace of the battle on the training ground changed dramatically.
Li Hui clicked her tongue lightly. Looking at the strange patterns spreading from Nuoxi's longsword and the other party's movement path, she had figured out the other party's thoughts.
Is it really this forbidden branch of the sect?
Having dabbled in all schools of magic, she was not as ignorant as Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier. On the contrary, she had already figured out the other party's initial plans.
"A very good grasp of the situation, but unfortunately, apart from the initial kill, this fighting style relies more on strength and basic skills."
"For example, can you survive under my protection until the spell is successfully cast!"
Li Hui's sharp tone made Nuo Xi's eyes turn serious.
Although psychological tactics and trash talk are quite common in duels, Nuoxi doesn't think she needs Li Hui to target her specifically.
Sure enough, Li Hui's actions became much faster, using a spellcasting technique that was beyond Nuo Xi's comprehension to give himself a speed buff.
She had shifted from controlling the distance and using spells to harass and find opportunities to forcefully advance—after all, the armor on Nuoxi's body was no mere decoration.
But now, time is the most precious thing. If Nuoxi succeeds in casting the spell, then we'll be in big trouble.
"Wow, he's really rich..." Jiang Kehan realized what technique Li Hui was using. She had been paying attention to this technique for a long time, but she was just short of money.
As for Li Hui's strength? Isn't it normal for her to be strong?
Even the spectators around who could tell what kind of spellcasting technique this was remained completely unmoved.
This isn't some small robot that managed to top the list in a certain "professional" competition; it's nothing special.
They might be surprised if Li Hui tripped over her own feet and fell.
Mind casting is an extremely special spellcasting technique that allows a witch to separate a small portion of her internal magical energy cycle and cast spells within her body using her thought processes.
This not only requires extremely high mental strength, but also a thorough understanding of magic; otherwise, one's limbs may gradually lose control, making one look like a rubber man and start to look ridiculous.
Don't doubt it, there are always witches who can bring joy to everyone. Every year, there are special duel clips called "Duel Recipes Collection" to let other witches know whether spellcasting techniques are useful or not, it still depends on the person.
However, because these segmented magic cycles continuously occupy the total amount of magic, they are generally only suitable for casting enhancement spells that consume less magic.
The basic appeal is frequently used by witches of the witch faction, but correspondingly, the price has never been low.
For example, Jiang Kehan really wanted to learn the Er (Seven) Liu Jiu Yi Ba Liu style. She was ready to "borrow" this spellcasting technique from Li Hui by acting cute.
If acting cute doesn't work, she can try clinging to someone's coattails. After all, clinging to Li Hui's coattails isn't begging, it's enjoying it!
Like spells, spellcasting techniques also have copyright fees, but when to pay them is a very delicate matter.
Actions like Li Hui teaching Jiang Kehan ahead of time can allow the copyright holder to pay the fee several months to a year later.
After all, normally it takes about this long to learn a spell technique, and witches usually trade knowledge such as spell calculations and casting techniques based on the standard of learning.
This gave Jiang Kehan the opportunity to "borrow" money.
As for why she didn't "borrow" it before? Li Hui never mentioned 2III Ming Si Jiu. She knows this casting technique!
"Hmph, you won't tell me unless I ask, huh? What about our love?" Jiang Kehan pinched Ai Li'er's face, quite resentful.
"Not sisters, look carefully at who I am!" Ailier stared intently at Jiang Kehan, seemingly trying to see any shyness on her face.
But Jiang Kehan did it on purpose. Who told her that she had been at a disadvantage in the fight just now? Now that she had an excuse, she should take revenge. Otherwise, she would not be Jiang!
So she completely ignored Ariel's resistance and continued watching the duel below as if nothing had happened, only her little hand was still on Ariel's face.
"Have a human heart..." Ai Li'er's eyes were deep and filled with remorse. She had already begun to miss the innocent and lovely Jiang Kehan from the beginning.
Who led Kehan astray? Ah, it was me. Oh well, it's alright... Aier recalled, suddenly feeling a little guilty.
In order to enable Jiang Kehan to handle social situations, she taught the other party a lot of social skills, such as taking advantage of an opportunity and changing the subject.
As for why Jiang Kehan has so many social engagements, well, it's all because Ai Lier arranged them for the society.
This is a classic case of digging a hole for oneself, yet willingly jumping in – it's definitely a show-stopping moment.
Inside the training ground, Li Hui had already approached Nuo Xi. Their eyes met, and neither dared to let their guard down.
Nuoxi took a deep breath, raised her sword and shield, and attacked Li Hui directly. However, although she stopped drawing, the patterns did not disappear, and even the star patterns could not be erased. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Origins: Gods Descend to Earth - Super Weakened Version!
Nuoxi's armor emitted a brilliant light, and the spell she had been accumulating for so long was finally released. Yes, her staff was not the sword and shield in her hand, but the armor on her body.
As the name suggests, "God Descending to Earth" is an enhancement-type spell, but it has significant limitations.
Its enhancement is based on a template for reading/yi-first-release, and it cannot be easily changed. If it is countered by the enemy, it is not a god descending to earth to fight five against one, but rather a zero-five score, owing the enemy five lives.
Nuoxi chose the simplest, but not easily countered, physical enhancement and magic resistance!
"Not bad." Li Hui sheathed his slender sword, tapped his toes, and leaned back.
"However, I wonder if your divine intervention is more powerful, or my dragon transformation is?"
