Chapter 57 Freshman Tournament 8
Lu Yi casually glanced at the people around him and asked 857: [“857, can you detect his specific level?”]
Saman is at least one or two major stages higher than him. Lu Yi can only vaguely perceive the fluctuations of his magic power, but cannot accurately sense his specific level.
[Second level advanced, he is definitely the best among the second graders.] 857.
Second level advanced? Lu Yi raised his eyebrows.
It's only been a month since school started.
The standard for graduating from Braceside is only a third-level magician, but Saman is now a senior second-level magician.
No wonder he can become the chief officer.
Lu Yi sighed at Saman's high talent, turned around and found that Canaan had left the ring at some point and was nowhere to be seen.
[“It was a wrong decision after all!”]
Lu Yi complained to 857 about Canaan's ruthless behavior, but had to give up and go to the notice board alone.
The panel for the quarterfinals instantly became much simpler, and the layout of four rounds and two lines allows people to see the names of the top eight at a glance.
These eight people are almost all favorites to win the championship.
Lu Yi glanced at the name of his next opponent.
The person's name glowed white, indicating that she was a seventh-category unconventional elemental magician.
A slight curiosity arose in Lu Yi's heart, and he recalled the seven arenas he had just seen.
He went over it in his mind and quickly locked onto the opponent's magic type.
An extremely rare type of word magic.
The words are spoken and the law is followed, the mind and the law are one.
This is also one of the few powerful magics that has almost no restraining elements.
It’s a bit tricky, Lu Yi frowned slightly.
If you fail to hit him with one strike and knock him off the ring, the subsequent fight will be troublesome.
Lu Yi was thinking about a countermeasure while walking towards the ring.
There was no one on the ring at that time, so Lu Yi jumped to the side of the ring first.
The venue for the comprehensive arena has a certain limit on the number of people, so there are not many new and old students coming in to watch.
But even so, there are still many men and women holding Lu Yi Fan Club signs. Since the first game, they have been following Lu Yi closely.
Seeing Lu Yi now on the stage, some people cheered him on.
"Come on, Lu Yi! You are only a few steps away from winning the championship!"
"Lu Yiyi, go for it! The position of prefect is waving at you!"
"We will soon be able to upgrade to the prefect support club!!"
"Go, go, go, go! Lu Yi Klein, you are the most beautiful—"
Dozens of people shouted out with the momentum of hundreds of people. There were some people standing next to other arenas, but when they saw this, they all crowded next to the arena where Lu Yi was.
After following him in several rounds of freshman competitions, Lu Yi has actually become accustomed to such exaggerated praise.
But even though he was used to it, Lu Yi couldn't help tapping his toes on the ground, half shy and half subtly happy.
In his opinion, this behavior is more like a love for his appearance than a pursuit, and it is more like a concrete manifestation of admiration for the strong.
But no matter what the mood or thoughts were, it can be roughly attributed to the love for him, Lu Yi Klein.
That's enough.
Lu Yi thought, there should be no one who can remain indifferent to the love that others show to themselves, right?
At least he can't.
So he can't lose.
Even if this game will be difficult, he must win!
Lu Yi pursed his lips and watched a masked woman slowly walk up to the other side of the ring.
The woman was wearing a large cloak. The cloak and veil covered her face tightly, leaving only a pair of unusually bright brown eyes exposed.
The referee announced the start of the game promptly.
With the idea of hitting the target with one strike, Lu Yi showed no mercy in the first strike. He leaned forward and rushed towards the woman with his hand as a sword.
There was a bright light flashing on his hands, and the magic power contained in it was so strong that even the referee floating in the air couldn't help but look sideways.
If he were hit by Lu Yi's fierce attack, he would probably lose all combat effectiveness immediately.
The referee couldn't help but hold his breath.
Can Lu Yi hit the woman with the word spirit?
Before the result actually came out, even the referee didn't dare to make any rash conclusion.
One is Lu Yi, the undefeated overlord who has been defeating all the chosen ones since the freshman competition, and the other is a Word Spirit Magician with an extremely rare and special talent.
Their first confrontation made everyone on and off the stage subconsciously hold their breath.
When strong men confront each other, victory is often just a matter of moments.
It seems that time is infinitely slowed down at this moment.
The woman was fearless, and the light in her eyes was bright and dazzling.
When Lu Yi attacked her, the woman said steadily: "I said, Lu Yi can't hit Loris, all his attacks will be ineffective on me!"
She spoke very quickly, and the power of words shone brightly on her body.
The words came true instantly, just like every time before.
She, Loris, means what she says, and her words have absolute effect once they are spoken!
The woman felt relieved, and her originally hanging heart immediately fell back to the ground.
Lu Yi?
So what if he is a monster?
As long as his attacks never miss and never hit her, the winner of this game can only be her!
Loris raised the corner of her mouth, and had already imagined the moment when she would hold the freshman competition trophy.
Lu Yi, who appeared beside Loris in a few breaths, also heard her words.
The attack failed.
This sentence is crucial.
How can he fight in a match if every one of his attacks misses?
He attacks the air, does she attack him?
Lu Yi became even more anxious, and his fear of Yan Ling reached its peak.
Although he was anxious in his heart, his face became more calm and composed, as if he was confident of victory as he attacked Loris.
Lu Yi had even prepared himself for the possibility that his attack would fail.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Yi's hand landed steadily half an inch in front of Loris.
The dazzling bright light hit Loris directly, instantly knocking her several meters away.
Loris was hit hard from the front and immediately coughed up large amounts of blood.
She didn't react when the attack landed on her. It was not until she flew out of the ring that Loris realized in disbelief that Lu Yi actually hit her!
Loris fell heavily under the ring, blood still oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Her words had clearly taken effect! Why could Lu Yi still hit her?
Why didn't Lu Yi's attack fail? !
——Is that possible?
At this moment, not only Loris thought so, but also the person involved, Lu Yi, and the referee on the stage, as well as the freshmen and old students watching in the audience, all thought so incredulously.
Although before this, some people secretly wondered if the Word Spirit might not work on Lu Yi? It was said that Lu Yi was a special person favored by God that was rarely seen in a thousand years, and he was a favorite of God that even the Church would look at with awe.
But most people just thought about it secretly, treating it as their own exaggerated imagination and not taking it seriously at all.
After all, Loris is a magician of words whose magic is 100% effective and has never failed. Even when facing a high-level magician, her magic can be effective within a certain range.
Perhaps only gods can be completely unaffected by her words?
No matter how powerful and talented Lu Yi is, he is just a junior apprentice magician now and is completely unable to break free from the constraints of words.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Lu Yi will definitely lose against Yan Ling.
On the contrary, most people think that Lu Yi will win, but it may be a difficult win.
No one expected that the game would end in just one minute.
Not only did Lu Yi win, but he won easily and effortlessly.
The game ended so suddenly and quickly that some people were distracted and couldn't even see what happened in that brief minute.
These distracted people asked their companions who had their eyes wide open and their mouths open in confusion.
"What's going on here..."
"Nothing, I just seemed to have seen something extraordinary..."
This is a great person who ignores the power of words!
The power of words actually failed on a human!
Such a result left everyone dumbfounded, and they all looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Yi was also at a loss, standing on the stage and looking at his own palm stupidly.
The power of the word spirit...
Didn't it work at all on him?
Lu Yi lowered his head and guessed belatedly that it might be because of the presence of divine blood in his body.
He swallowed the blood of the gods, and even though there were no concrete changes outside or inside his body, the changes did exist.
So words can't do anything to him.
Having figured out the key to the matter, Lu Yi smiled helplessly.
This Word Spirit magician is unlucky as he has to face off against someone who can be regarded as the Word Spirit's biggest nemesis.
If it was someone else, she might have succeeded.
But everyone didn't know the reason. They only saw that the extremely troublesome Word Spirit Magician couldn't even withstand a blow from Lu Yi.
Word spirit? It became an empty sound in front of Lu Yi Klein!
There was a burst of intense cheers from the audience. Lu Yi waved his hand embarrassedly, turned around and jumped off the stage.
However, ignoring the fact that Yan Ling's performance was too horrifying, many extremely excited viewers still followed Lu Yi closely with their eyes, and some even followed behind him.
"I used to think that his looks were first and his strength was second, but now I'm wrong. He's clearly the strongest and most ruthless person! Is this really decided by the prefect? I don't even dare to think about whether the power in the academy will be completely reshuffled after he enters the 12th seat?!"
"Klein is undoubtedly a noble family name... the common people are in trouble now."
Lu Yi paused and turned to look at the person who spoke.
A power shuffle between commoners and nobles?
He suddenly remembered what Dewi had said to him when he first arrived in Bryside.
——"We live in a time when class concepts are so deeply rooted that contradictions are inherently unreconcilable, especially in a place where everyone holds power."
Lu Yi silently fiddled with the space ring on his hand, but some bold but vague ideas flashed through his mind.
No, there's no rush for now.
Lu Yi suppressed his restlessness and walked straight to the bulletin board.
Because his match ended so suddenly, the other contestants on the other stages were still fighting fiercely, and the notice board still showed the four matches from the previous round.
He stood in front of the notice board and waited for a long time.
During this period, he politely declined several waves of enthusiastic audiences who came to give him benches and chairs.
The content on the bulletin board gradually changed.
Lu Yi looked at the name next to his own name and his expression froze.
——Canaan.
It’s Canaan. How could it be Canaan?
Lu Yi smiled bitterly, thinking that this might be the most difficult freshman match he had ever played.
"Depend on!"
Canaan's irritable voice came from behind him.
Canaan, who had just finished the previous game with difficulty, was covered in injuries. He poured a healing potion into his mouth while angrily looking at the notice board and cursing.
"What kind of shitty luck is this - hiss..."
Because the movement was too large, Canaan accidentally pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Lu Yi turned his head to look at him, only to find that Canaan was covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable.
He was startled, and hurriedly supported Jianan, asking with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
He had just heard Canaan's powerful voice and thought that Canaan had won the last match easily, but when he turned around he saw that he was covered in injuries.
Lu Yi quickly took out a few high-level precious healing potions from the space ring and handed them to him.
"Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable somewhere?"
Canaan took the potion and held it in his hand, cherishing it very much.
"Wa Qu, seventh-grade healing potion, good stuff, good stuff! This is really a great thing. It would be a waste if you gave it to me. It's simply a waste of resources!"
The quality of potions is divided into grades one to nine. The seventh-grade healing potion is a precious potion that can save the seriously injured from death.
His injuries were nothing but child's play before the seventh-grade healing potion, not even worth taking care of.
Canaan has never seen a seventh-grade healing potion in his life!
Lu Yi handed him another one, "Eat it quickly, I have plenty here, and you don't have to pay for it."
Canaan looked at him with emotion and swallowed the magic pill in one gulp.
"Lu Yi, Lu Yi, from now on you will be my life-long brother! From now on, if you ask me to go east, I will never take a single step west!"
What seventh-grade magic potion? This is the most sincere friendship between Lu Yi and him!
Canaan immediately swallowed it first as a sign of respect.
Lu Yi smiled, "Really..."
"Except going to the back mountain! I can go through fire and water without any problem!"
Lu Yi was speechless and said, "Is going to the back mountain more terrifying than going through a mountain of swords and a sea of fire?"
Isn’t it just going to the back mountain?
"How can it not be scary..." Jianan pouted, "Big Brother, you have no idea what I've been through. The professors in my school all thought that I had lured you to the back hills. We were scared to death when we couldn't find you! I almost committed suicide to apologize!"
"Even if you came back safe and sound, I would still be lectured by the professor from time to time, and occasionally, if I ran into the dean of my college, he would grab my ears and scold me..."
"Ah?" Lu Yi was surprised, "They didn't believe what I explained at that time?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was dragging you down so much!"
At first, Lu Yi thought that he just wrote a self-criticism and let it go. No one mentioned the matter in the back mountain to him again, so he thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, it was Canaan who was carrying the burden for him.
Lu Yi looked at Canaan guiltily.
"I'm sorry, I really wasn't thoughtful enough about that matter... Is there anything I can do to make up for your loss?"
"Hey, stop saying such polite things!" Canaan waved his hand. "Aren't we good brothers?! You didn't do it on purpose, don't feel guilty. Besides, didn't you share the formula of the potion with me before..."
Lu Yi still felt guilty.
Thinking that Canaan seemed to be very interested in potions, he took out two other kinds of seventh-grade potion pills.
Lu Yi stuffed the two small jars into Canaan's hands without allowing them to be refused, "This is my apology, you can't refuse it."
Canaan's eyes widened as he looked at the two small jars.
"I've always known that the Klein family is rich, but I didn't expect them to be this wealthy..."
His family didn't even have a seventh-grade magic potion pill, but Lu Yi took this seventh-grade magic potion as easily and casually as taking small candy beans.
Jianan was so overwhelmed by the heroic spirit that he was speechless. After a long while, he stammered, "Thank you, Lu Yi."
Lu Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Didn't you just say don't be so formal? Then I'll return the favor to you. Don't be so formal."
"Let's go. We are at the second ring. It's very close, but we can walk slowly. Please walk a little slower..."
Lu Yi supported Canaan and walked towards the second ring.
But he didn't move.
Lu Yi looked at Canaan in confusion.
Canaan smiled at him sheepishly, his tone a little vague.
"Well, Lu Yi, you don't have to worry about me. I'm going to give up this match and compete directly with the loser of the No. 1 ring for the fourth place!"
As if afraid that Lu Yi would feel burdened, Canaan immediately explained: "Of course, Lu Yi, you don't have to feel pressured! I didn't give up just because I was playing against you! You saw that I played very badly in the last round, and I'm still hurting after taking the medicine you gave me. I'm sure to lose the next round, so there's really no need to waste mana to fight again! It's better to take a good rest and adjust myself before competing for the third place."
Lu Yi nodded, "A wise decision."
"Then let's go watch Arena No. 1?" Lu Yi suggested.
"Okay! That's possible." Canaan agreed happily.
After briefly explaining to the referee of ring number two, the two followed the crowd to ring number one.
A man and a woman were ready on the stage, and the man was Fielding, who had the talent for thunder and lightning.
"Guess who wins this time?" Canaan asked excitedly.
Lu Yi glanced at him and said, "No guessing."
Why do so many people like to guess and gamble?
"Okay." Seeing that Lu Yi was not interested, Canaan was deflated, "But I still think Fielding will win."
Hearing this, Lu Yi carefully looked at the girl on the stage. For some reason, he felt that she looked familiar.
The girl had long light brown hair, deep purple eyes, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a small face. She had the typical appearance of a sweet girl.
"Do you know the girl on the stage? I think her name is Flo. I think she looks familiar." Lu Yi asked puzzledly.
Canaan was immediately amused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If Flo knew that you thought she looked familiar, she would definitely be very happy!"
Lu Yi blinked, "Do you know her?"
"Of course, Flo is the president of your fan club! She was the one who named the House of Prince and Flowers, hahahahaha!"
Lu Yi resisted the urge to cover his face and whispered, "Then I know why she looks familiar!"
Jianan was overjoyed and comforted the somewhat embarrassed Lu Yi, saying, "Don't worry! Flo is a very easy-going girl. She has a very good personality and strong abilities!"
Otherwise, there would be no way to support such a large fan club! Canaan thought.
"Then you still think she's going to lose..."
Canaan shook his head and said, "No, no, winning or losing is not something I can decide. I have fought with her before, and she is only slightly stronger than me."
"A little bit!" Canaan pinched his two fingers together, leaving a narrow gap.
"I was beaten by Fielding, I guess it will be difficult for Flo to deal with him too."
"If we were to face each other, she would win by a narrow margin. But she would have to play Fielding first, and then she would definitely lose if she played me. I'll definitely take third place!"
Canaan covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
His eyes inadvertently met Flo on the stage, and Canaan suddenly froze.
An ominous feeling ignited in his heart.
Sure enough, Flo on the stage raised her hand and shouted without waiting for the referee to announce the start.
"Teacher! I won't fight you this time! I give up the game!"
Canaan was instantly furious, "This little girl is imitating me! She's so cunning!"
Now it’s hard to say who will win the third place!
On the ring, after the referee approved her withdrawal from the match, Flo immediately ran towards the two of them.
Flo smoothed her hair and said shyly to Lu Yi: "Hi~"
Lu Yi smiled at her, "Hi, Flo~"
God of Light! She was attacked by the Goddess of Beauty!
Flo immediately covered her red face, and the draft that she had gone through several times in her mind was tangled into a ball.
“I, this…”
"Humph!" Canaan looked down on her delicate appearance and immediately sneered and teased, "Hey, you shouted loudly on the stage just now that you wanted to give up, didn't you? Why are you silent now? Didn't you see that you hurt your throat?"
Considering that Lu Yi was still there, Flo clenched her fists and decided to tolerate Canaan for a while.
First time meeting, first time meeting, the image cannot be broken in front of the male god——
But Jianan got even more excited when he saw her trying so hard to hold back, and continued to nag, "Hi~Hi~Hi~"
His expression was quite mean.
Just as Lu Yi was about to remind him to stop, Flo in front of him punched Canaan in the stomach with lightning speed.
"I can't stand it any longer, I can't stand it any longer, I don't need to stand it any longer!" Flo glared at Canaan, "You can shut your mouth if you want! Don't make your ancestors angry here!"
Canaan was hit so hard by this ruthless punch that he saw stars and immediately screamed and howled for help from Lu Yi.
"Lu Yi! Yi Yi, save me! In broad daylight, she's going to beat me to death!"
Lu Yi patted his shoulder and said gently, "It's my duty."
Those who are mean first will always be looked down upon by others, and there will always be a price to pay for being mean.
After venting her anger, Flo began to regain her senses, and she looked at Lu Yi with such a strong desire that she could not even cry.
God of Light! What on earth did she just do in front of her male god? !
It’s all Canaan’s fault for constantly irritating her!
She will definitely pin him down and beat him in the ring later! Let him learn his lesson!
"you……"
Lu Yi was about to ask if her hand was okay, but Flo immediately said goodbye to him in a panic and ran to the bulletin board.
"Is the next match about to start? Which ring number am I on? Oh, I don't know. I'll go to the notice board and check. I'll check. I'll check right away. Bye bye bye bye bye bye Lu Yi!"
Lu Yi, who was left behind, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and waved at her.
"Bye, Flo!"
He turned to look at Canaan beside him.
Canaan was still holding his stomach and gasping for breath with a painful expression on his face.
There shouldn't be any magic power attached to Flo's punch just now, right?
Lu Yi asked curiously: "Does your stomach hurt? This shouldn't happen?"
Jianan said with a heavy expression: "My stomach doesn't hurt..."
“My heart aches!”
The author has something to say:
This chapter is the update I promised yesterday. Although it’s a little late, I’m so long (akimbo)
