This was at least the power of a magical explosion, and this was just an ordinary dock with a group of ordinary onlookers.
It's not uncommon for elements to go berserk or out of control during an elementalist's spellcasting, but that mostly happens when they're learning the skill for the first time.
Could it be that Cheng Yaqi used a magic skill he wasn't yet proficient in because of his vanity?
This big question mark hovered above everyone's heads.
Xiao He's third skill, Minor Healing Spell, landed at that very moment. However, it wasn't cast on himself, but rather steadily applied to Cheng Yaqi.
At this moment, Cheng Yaqi stood there blankly, his once clean school uniform now riddled with holes from the fire.
Fortunately, he weakened the power of the wind element, otherwise he wouldn't be standing right now.
Cheng Yaqi raised his head listlessly, his gaze towards Xiao He filled with complex emotions.
Others may not be able to see the details, but he, who was in the situation, now recalls that it was all caused by the little girl in front of him.
It was neither an accident nor a coincidence.
She had calculated it; even a difference of 0.1 was unacceptable.
Perhaps his talent isn't that great, but his shrewdness and composure make him a formidable opponent.
"A level 5 junior priest..." Cheng Yaqi's smile was somewhat forced.
He never imagined that he would lose to a priest in a one-on-one challenge, especially a novice priest who was 20 levels lower than him.
Lan Qinghe didn't look back until the elements started to stir, at which point he realized things were not simple.
Turning around, I saw the scene of the elemental explosion.
The only person who didn't miss a single change was Honglian, who was standing on the sidelines.
However, at this moment, her mind was also completely blank.
"How...how did you do that?"
Honglian's question voiced everyone's doubts.
As is well known, regardless of whether it is friend or foe, a target can only be locked onto and tracked for spellcasting unless an elemental marker is placed beforehand.
Otherwise, the caster must anticipate the spell's movement trajectory and the skill's final landing point.
Although Cheng Yaqi stood almost motionless, Xiao He's blessing was not directed at Cheng Yaqi himself, but at the fire element he controlled.
Under the dominance of a large amount of wind element, without touching a single wind element, the blessing spell was perfectly cast on that small fragment of fire magic stone.
The sudden amplification of the fire element in the magic wand disrupted the balance of the Hurricane Slash's charge-up. Coupled with Cheng Yaqi's lack of timely reaction and adjustment, this ultimately led to his mistake.
It seems that Xiao He knew everything, even releasing the minor recovery spell so appropriately in advance.
Knowing that Cheng Yaqi would suffer a backlash and be injured, this "predictive treatment" was truly...
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.
Honglian's gaze towards Xiao He also held a complexity similar to that of Cheng Yaqi.
It seems that Xiao He's background still needs to be investigated.
After calming down, Cheng Yaqi felt more and more wronged, but if he said that he was just careless, he would probably get beaten up by his mentor.
When the competition began, the "Referee's Eye" had already taken off, and only after the winner was decided did this small black bead slowly descend.
Han Siru held the referee's eye in her hand, completely ignoring the gazes of Cheng Yaqi and the other teenagers: "This is the price you pay for causing trouble. Tomorrow, this match will be broadcast in the square. You're welcome to come and watch your own performance."
"Senior Han... I..." Cheng Yaqi looked annoyed, but dared not say anything disrespectful.
"Go ahead and have fun, do whatever you want. See you at the department meeting tomorrow."
The onlookers immediately began to whisper among themselves, and even Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
After putting away the referee's eye, Han Siru stormed off, seemingly not wanting to see those boys again, much less stay there and embarrass herself.
Lan Qinghe opened his sleepy eyes a little, looked at Xiao He for a long time, and seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Honglian glaring at him with a wary look, he finally said nothing, pulled on the reins, and silently rode away.
The teenagers looked at each other, realizing that Han Siru and Lan Qinghe hadn't called them when they left, but it wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay any longer.
"Shall we...should we go back too?"
"But today's patrol has only just begun..."
"That……?"
"Just follow the captain and keep quiet..."
The group whispered among themselves, then pulled the distracted Cheng Yaqi along and hurriedly left like rats crossing the street.
Nan Bai then realized what was happening and rushed to Xiao He's side, wanting to ask if he was injured. However, Xiao He seemed to be in a daze, which startled him.
Little did they know that Xiao He's chat history with Wang Xuefeng was already enough to fill three pages...
[Wang Xuefeng: Good heavens, I just got off the ship and am coming this way following the sound of the explosion.]
[Xiao He: Come, I'll be waiting for you here.]
[Wang Xuefeng: I'm carrying a sniper rifle, keep an eye out for it.]
Xiao He: Good.
At the same time, a familiar system voice rang in my mind.
[A new development in a mission!]
[Temporary Quest: Complete a 1v1 challenge as a priest. (Completed)]
[Reward: Random talent skill (to be drawn)]
