The Magic Association's arena was packed with spectators.
Live broadcasts were also being conducted in real time on the exterior walls of major buildings in J City.
Everyone wants to see how the favorite to win the championship crushes his unlucky cousin.
Before it even started, some people were still worried.
They were worried that Fei Zheng might suddenly be unable to play for some reason, allowing Zhang Qinglan to win the championship directly.
However, this time, they were overthinking it.
...
On the training ground.
Fei was standing in the middle of the field.
He stared at Zhang Qinglan with disdain, his demeanor best described in one word.
despise.
Zhang Qinglan on the other side didn't react much, but she reached into her bosom with her right hand and squeezed the black ball tightly.
The referee looked at the two people standing face to face, leaned forward, and carefully explained the precautions.
"Kid, you're really lucky. Making it to the finals is an honor you can cherish for the rest of your life. I'll take you down in one move later, then I'll challenge your teacher. I'm going to crush her under my feet."
Fei Zheng ignored what the referee said, pointed at Lu Shi below the stage with his right hand, and said harsh words to Zhang Qinglan.
He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and his words were broadcast live to the scene and throughout the entire city of J.
"Is Fairbank's goal to challenge his teacher?"
"Yeah! It seems that last year's individual champion also challenged the teacher in the end."
"I remember, I remember. Last year's individual competition final was between N County High School and Magic No. 1 High School. The students from No. 1 High School lost badly, and the teachers were not satisfied. Then the one from Magic High School in N County pointed directly at the teachers below and challenged him. Unexpectedly, that one actually won in the end."
"That guy last year was really impressive. It's a pity, it seems he perished in N County."
"It seems that Fairbank wants to recreate that match."
"Although Nirvana High School was formerly known as N County Magic High School, all of its elite teachers and students died fighting against magical beasts. It seems a bit unfair for Fei to challenge a teacher at this time!"
There was much discussion outside the venue.
Within the leadership area, the school principals were also discussing the matter extensively.
"Principal Feng, this Fei Zheng is quite arrogant," the principal of No. 8 Middle School joked.
Feng Tianxiao didn't react much, but Zheng Wuren loudly mocked:
"My school's ace, it's perfectly reasonable for me to be a little arrogant."
His words silenced the school principals.
No one said anything for a moment.
After all, no one had high hopes for Zhang Qinglan; the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious.
Everyone was just speculating about how Fairbank's challenge to his teacher would end.
The match officially began after the protective barrier was raised.
Just as the referee retreated to the edge of the barrier.
Fei Zheng raised his right hand, and a lightning spear fell, stabbing fiercely at Zhang Qinglan.
The lightning spear pierced the ground, creating a charred area, and electricity spread and flowed across the ground.
However, the attack did not cause any damage to Zhang Qinglan.
He had already disappeared from the spot.
Shadow Escape
Zhang Qinglan's figure appeared in the shadows on the other side of the stage, less than ten steps away from Fei Zheng.
"Oh, you're pretty skilled at using Shadow Cloak." Fei Zheng played with the electricity in his right hand. "But you're just a mouse that can only run away."
After saying that, his expression turned serious, and he suddenly raised a mist of water with his left hand, spraying it towards Zhang Qinglan.
The water flowed on, intending to completely soak Zhang Qinglan.
By taking advantage of water's electrical conductivity, Zhang Qinglan was completely exposed.
This was also the move he used to defeat Jiang Xue.
But Zhang Qinglan showed no intention of dodging, and charged straight at Fei Zheng.
When he was only three steps away from Fei Zheng, he was completely soaked.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Fei Zheng laughed triumphantly when he saw Zhang Qinglan actually taking the water attack head-on. He raised his right hand, ready to finish him off with the Thunder Spear.
"This is the moment I've been waiting for."
Three steps away, Zhang Qinglan took out a black sphere from her bosom and smashed it onto the ground without hesitation.
The sphere exploded, and a light purple light curtain opened up, instantly surrounding Zhang Qinglan and Fei Zheng, and quickly covering and occupying the entire barrier.
"Little Scissors, your anti-magic ball won't fail at the crucial moment, will it? Then all our previous efforts will be wasted."
Lu Shi watched as Zhang Qinglan painstakingly pushed through the water to finally reach the three-step distance and successfully release the anti-magic ball. She nodded and sought affirmation from Xiao Jianjian in her consciousness space.
"Absolutely reliable. This anti-magic sphere was made using your three magic types—mind, lightning, and shadow—plus a special container you scavenged before. There's only enough for this one. It can definitely suppress a high-level mage for 10 minutes. In the future, when your magic power is stronger, I can even create an anti-magic domain for you. At that time, you can easily handle even a god of magic. After all, the mages in this world are all glass cannons; without magic power and magical artifacts, their physical abilities are truly trash. Master, you need to continue honing your powerful physique." Little Scissors gave Lu Shi a long-winded explanation, reassuring her.
Just as Xiao Jianjian had boasted, a magic-suppressing domain was formed on the stage.
The electricity in Fei Zheng's hand flickered a few times and then suddenly disappeared.
He stared at his hands, an expression of disbelief on his face.
"What did you do? Why can't I use magic anymore? Ah! I can't even use magical artifacts."
Zhang Qinglan shook the water droplets off her head, cracked her knuckles, stretched her neck, and revealed a satisfied smile.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
After saying that, he swung his right fist, delivering a devastating punch that struck Fei Zheng's chin, sending him flying into the air. Several of his teeth fell out.
Whoosh...
The entire audience fell into an eerie silence, followed by screams.
Zhu Zhu shouted from the sidelines, "Referee, he cheated!"
However, the referee ignored her, staring at his hands with terror in his eyes. He discovered that he could no longer summon his magic.
"Are you a sore loser? The competition didn't say anything about not being allowed to use magical items."
Lu Shi walked over to Zhu Zhu and wagged her finger at her.
This action made Zhu Zhu's face turn bright red with anger.
The argument offstage didn't affect the stage; Zhang Qinglan began a one-sided beating. Since he started body training, his physical abilities had improved dramatically, and he practiced the fighting techniques taught by Teacher Lu every day.
Although Fei Zheng possessed the physical attributes of a high-level mage, he had no close-combat experience and became a punching bag once he was in close combat.
Ten minutes later.
The pale purple light curtain disappeared.
The referee discovered that the magic could be used again.
With a flash, he quickly arrived at the center of the arena.
The current situation is quite clear.
Fei Zheng was swollen all over, his face unrecognizable, and he lay on the ground groaning helplessly.
Zhang Qinglan stood there, her hands clenched into fists, panting heavily.
The difference in skill between the two sides is immediately apparent.
The referee was still hesitating.
Lu Shi, who was in the audience, shouted, "With such an obvious outcome, why don't you announce the result, Your Honor?"
The referee glanced hesitantly at the leadership area and nodded to Chairman Lei.
Immediately, he felt relieved and shouted loudly, "The final winner is... Zhang Qinglan from Nirvana High School."
The final verdict is now clear.
Zhang Qinglan did it.
He became the champion.
