"Kasugano-san, I won!!"
After the game, Honoka Mitsui rushed to Fang Zheng excitedly and shook his hand tightly.
"I won, I actually won!! This is my first time to win the championship..."
At this point, Honoka Mitsui was so excited that she didn't know what to say, so Fang Zheng patted her shoulder and signaled her to calm down.
"So you see, that's how it is. It's actually very simple, isn't it? As long as you play at your normal level, basically those people will not be your opponents."
"Um!!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Mitsui Honoka nodded excitedly.
“I will try my best!!!”
Thanks to Honoka Mitsui's outstanding performance, the third day of competition came to a successful conclusion soon.
Fang Zheng successfully won the championship in both the men's "Surfing Race" and "Icicle Attack and Defense" events. Icicle Attack and Defense couldn't be easier for Fang Zheng. He walked to the platform, stretched out his hand and slapped it down at the moment the game started. The next moment, the group of icicles in front of the opponent shattered directly. The whole process took less than three seconds... No one could stop Fang Zheng at all.
In the women's group, with the help of Fang Zheng's adjusted light magic formula, Honoka Mitsui unexpectedly won the regular season "Surfing Race" championship, while the "Icicle Attack and Defense" championship was won by the second-year student Chiyoda Kanon.
So far, the first three days of regular competition have officially ended, and No. 1 High School has won the championship in all events.
Things seemed to be heading in a direction that the other eight schools did not want to see, however - they had no way to stop it from happening.
But the other schools did not give up. After all, they would never allow No. 1 High School to take all the championships.
In this case, the only hope is the rookie competition starting from the fourth day.
To be more precise, it is the rookie competition for the women's group.
Men's group - basically everyone has given up.
Because up to now, Fang Zheng had shown overwhelming strength in "Precision Shooting", "Surfing Race" and "Icicle Attack and Defense". Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the first-year students to compete with him in this aspect.
The only thing that has a chance to fight against Fang Zheng is the "Secret Monument Decoding".
This is also related to the characteristics of the "Secret Monument Decoding" competition. It is the only competition among the six competitions that allows direct confrontation. Simply put, the two teams are divided into two teams, each with three people, and then they compete on a random map. On the map, a black code stone tablet will be placed at the starting location of each team.
There are two ways to win the Secret Stele Decoding. One is that the team needs to protect their own stele, then activate the opponent's stele, and then enter the 512-bit password to win. The other is to completely defeat the opponent's team and automatically win.
Although Fang Zheng does possess unimaginable strength, he is only one person after all. Moreover, the use of overly dangerous magic in combat is not allowed in this kind of competition. So if there is any chance to defeat this guy, then the only option is to "decode the secret monument."
And the one who has the best chance of defeating Fang Zheng...
"Ichijo, you should understand that you are the only hope for us... no, for the eight colleges."
Walking beside Ichijo Masaki, a boy with short black hair who looked like a junior high school student said solemnly in a low voice. He was a good friend of Ichijo Masaki and a very outstanding celebrity - Kichijoji Shinkoro, a genius magician who discovered one of the "basic codes" that only existed in hypothesis when he was thirteen years old. He was not only smart, but also had good personal strength. He was also one of the members of Ichijo Masaki's team who participated in the "secret monument decoding".
"What do you think of that man, George?"
Ichijo Masahiro looked at Zhen Honglang without changing his expression and asked softly, and the latter shook his head.
"To be honest, I can't see through him. The magic he used was almost beyond my expectations. Frankly speaking, I personally don't want to fight him face to face. He doesn't look like a human at all, but more like a terrifying beast. Now we can only use the power of the 'Secret Monument Decoding' collar to restrain this beast."
"Even you can't see through his power?"
Hearing this, Ichijo Masahiro was somewhat surprised, while Shin Honglang lowered his head.
"The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is very likely to be very good at ancient magic."
The "ancient magic" mentioned by Zhen Honglang refers to the magic that appeared in this world before the magic power was systematized, such as Yin-Yang magic, Taoism, magic, and immortal arts, which are the powers in myths and legends that have been passed down from ancient times to the present. After the magic was systematized, the people of this world discovered that the power they possessed had actually always existed before, but it has become more popular now.
So for the sake of convenience, all magic before the modernization of magic is collectively referred to as "ancient magic."
The difference between ancient magic and modern magic is that the former does not require CAD, but is performed through spells, summoning spirits, chanting horns, etc., as in legends. The biggest feature of ancient magic is its diversity, with all kinds of abilities. For example, flying magic is still an unsolvable problem for modern magic, but flying magic is not uncommon in ancient magic.
However, the biggest flaw of ancient magic is that it is not popular, and only a very small number of "selected people" can use it. Modern magic, on the other hand, can be used by anyone as long as they have CAD and a certain amount of magic power.
But……
"Don't ancient magic usually take a long time to activate?"
This is also the point that puzzles Ichijou most. Ancient magic does have various magical powers, but their characteristic is that they are slow to activate, at least much slower than modern magic assisted by CAD.
Fang Zheng's magic activation speed is not only faster than CAD, but can even be said to exceed the limits of humans...
"I don't know about that. That man is unfathomable. Frankly speaking, I don't even want to observe him."
"why is that?"
Compared to Fang Zheng's strength, Ichijo Masahiro was more surprised by his companion's reaction, because Zhen Honglang had always been very careful in observing every opponent, trying to obtain intelligence. He once said that no matter what kind of opponent it was, if you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't find anything. However, what he said just now was completely contrary to his belief.
Not only that, Ichijo Masahiro also heard a kind of fear and disgust in Shinkoro's tone.
"Because that's not a human being at all."
Zhen Honglang raised his head and answered decisively.
"Everything he did was completely beyond the scope of what humans can do and understand. Just by looking at him, I felt that my long-held ideas seemed to be completely shattered. The data I had always believed in seemed to be forged. The knowledge I learned betrayed me, and my thoughts could only prove my shallowness... No, he showed more than I learned, and that was not what I wanted to know... I didn't want to know that...!!!"
"George!"
Seeing that Zhen Honglang was getting excited, Ichijo Masahiro hurriedly shouted, which brought Zhen Honglang, who was almost caught up in the excitement, back to soberness.
"Hmm, sorry, Jiang Hui..."
Zhen Honglang came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.
"Are you really okay?"
Masahiro Ichijo looked at his friend worriedly. It was the first time he saw Shin Kouro show such a hysterical reaction.
"Sorry, I, I might be too tired."
Shin Honglang shook his head, putting aside the irritation and whispers in his mind that came from nowhere, and gave Ichijo Masaki a forced smile.
"Maybe I'm too nervous. After all, the rookie competition starts tomorrow..."
"Do you want to go back and rest for a while?"
"No."
Zhen Honglang shook his head and looked towards the restaurant in front of him.
"I'm fine."
After saying this, he and Masaki Ichijo walked into the restaurant.
The restaurant was crowded with people at this moment. In fact, almost every dinner time was equivalent to a social dinner. When Ichijo Masahiro walked into the restaurant, he naturally saw Fang Zheng standing on the other side.
It's still the same.
Looking around, Ichijo Masahiro frowned slightly. Since the first day of the competition, he found that the man named Kasugano was out of tune with the others. The same was true in the restaurant. Social dinners were supposed to be places for mutual communication and friendship, but in fact, almost every student in the school - especially boys - stayed away from Fang Zheng.
On the one hand, it was because of jealousy, after all, there were always many girls around Fang Zheng at every dinner. Of course, the most important reason was the competition.
To be honest, after Fang Zheng showed his strength, the game was basically over. Therefore, the biggest malice in the hearts of these players was to hope that the audience would not come to watch the game because the game had lost suspense.
However, to their surprise, although some spectators did not come to watch the game, there were still quite a few who came to watch. The most depressing thing was that all of these spectators were women, and they all came to cheer for Fang Zheng!!!
What made the contestants even more depressed was that among the audience cheering for Fang Zheng, in addition to the students of No. 1 High School and passers-by, there were even students from other colleges participating in the rookie competition and the women's competition. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, they would not wear school uniforms but private clothes to enter the venue - but this kind of deception is useless, do you think we can't see your blushing and heartbeating when you look at handsome guys in the arena? ! !
In this situation, it is understandable that boys from other schools are hostile to Fang Zheng.
Can you do whatever you want just because you are handsome?
If Fang Zheng knew what these boys were thinking, he would tell them - sorry, being handsome means you can do whatever you want.
If you don’t agree, bite me.
Besides that...
"Ah, as expected, these two are together today."
Hearing what Zhen Honglang said, Ichijo Masahiro's heart twitched, and he looked up, only to see Shiba Miyuki standing quietly beside Fang Zheng. He had to admit that just from the looks of it, the two of them looked like a perfect match. This was another reason why those boys didn't dare to approach Fang Zheng. Although they all wanted to talk to this outstanding beauty, Shiba Miyuki, it was another matter when they were next to Fang Zheng.
If you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of a beautiful woman, it's better to stay away from her.
Of course, there are exceptions.
"That guy again."
Noticing that Ichijo Masaki was looking at Shiba Miyuki, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and whispered to Shiba Miyuki.
"Hey, Shiba, your follower is here again."
"Again?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Shiba Miyuki sighed helplessly. Although she was always the center of attention, the attention of Ichijo Masaki was another matter. For Shiba Miyuki, she didn't want to have too much contact with the Ichijo family like Masaki Ichijo. On the one hand, it was because Shiba Miyuki loved her brother deeply and had no interest in other men. On the other hand, Shiba Miyuki had to hide her identity, so she didn't want to be noticed by the Ichijo family.
"If you find him annoying, just get rid of him."
"Hey? Is this okay?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Fang Zheng sneered and handed the cup to Shiba Miyuki.
"As the heir of the Ichijo family, he doesn't even dare to come up and talk to a beautiful woman, but only dares to peek at her from a distance. What's the difference between him and a stalker? He should be taught a lesson. A toad can't even dream of eating swan meat."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked out of the crowd and walked towards Ichijo Masahiro. Seeing this, everyone in the restaurant turned their attention to the two of them. After all, the Ichijo family, where Ichijo Masahiro was, was the ruler of the Ten Master Clans and the highest being that reigned over the magic world. Fang Zheng also showed unparalleled and unimaginable strength in the Nine Schools Battle. What would happen if these two people collided... No one could imagine.
Seeing Fang Zheng walking towards him, Yitiao Jianghui frowned and then stood there waiting for him. Soon, Fang Zheng came in front of Yitiao Jianghui and stared at the man in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Hello, young master of the Ichijo family. This is the first time I greet you."
"Hello, Kasugano-san, my name is Masaki Ichijo."
Compared with Fang Zheng, Ichijo Jianghui's greeting was obviously more cautious.
"Excuse me, what do you want to see me for?"
"Of course."
Facing Yitiao Jianghui's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"The rookie competition will begin tomorrow, right? If I remember correctly, your young master will also appear in the secret monument decoding, right? I have always been curious about the strength of the young master of the Ichijo family, who is known as the Blood Prince."
Having said that, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, stared at Yi Tiao Jiang Hui, and opened his mouth to reveal a ferocious smile.
"Don't let me down, young master of the Ichijo family. Let me take a good look at what kind of ability the Ichijo family has to stand at the pinnacle of the magic world."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone in the restaurant was stunned.
