Upon seeing this, Merlin gently raised his right hand, palm facing up, and exerted a little force. A gentle wave of magical power slowly spread out in all directions with him as the center.
The magical thing is that wherever this magical power wave reaches, the noise stops abruptly, and the students all understand and quiet down, with their eyes all turned to the center of the arena.
At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that Ed and Carlisle were like two sculptures, standing quietly at both ends of the field, their eyes closed, their faces as calm as water, and only their slightly rising and falling chests revealed that they were concentrating on adjusting themselves to their best condition.
The magic power around them was looming, emitting a heart-pounding aura, as if it was about to burst out in the next second.
"Well... now... the game... begins!" Merlin announced loudly, word by word, and every word was like a hammer, striking everyone's heart.
Ding-ling-ling——
The crisp sound of the bell was like a charge horn. In an instant, Ed and Carlisle seemed to be a long-dormant volcano that suddenly erupted. The surging magic power was like a raging sea, rolling and spreading in all directions.
Then, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time. In their eyes, the magic light was dazzling and bright, like two burning flames. The surging magic power was like a lively stream, gurgling and flowing, which was daunting.
All they heard was a loud "boom", like thunder coming out of nowhere, making everyone's ears buzz.
At the moment when the floating ball appeared like a ghost, Ed and Carlisle attacked at the same time as if they were in sync with each other.
From Ed's palm, a tiny but brilliant ball of light whizzed out, and wherever it passed, the air was burned with a sizzling sound.
Carlisle waved his hands, and leaves wrapped tightly in magic power whirled in the air like sharp blades.
The densely packed floating balls were ruthlessly shattered by the powerful attacks of the two men almost the moment they appeared. The whole process was as fast as lightning, even less than a second!
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this shocking scene, with their mouths wide open and unable to close for a long time.
The opening of this game was simply stunning. Even among the second- and third-year seniors who were experienced and very capable, only a handful could reach their level of perfection.
In just three seconds after the start of the game, the two sides had already scored 30 points together. The numbers on the scoreboard jumped so fast that it made people's heart beat faster.
Whether it is Ed or Carlisle, at this moment they seem to be integrated with time, racing against time, one second? No, even a slight difference of one millisecond is very likely to change the final direction of this peak showdown and affect the final results of both players.
"This freshman has mastered magic power so perfectly!" A senior student couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock and admiration.
"These two are simply monsters! Such talent, such strength, it's terrifying!" another classmate echoed, with a slight tremor in his voice.
As everyone was amazed, Carlisle was like a flash of blue lightning. The blue magic light in his pupils was like bright stars, dazzling and dazzling.
He suddenly raised his head and let out a roar that shook the earth. The roar sounded like a dragon's roar or a tiger's roar, and it caused ripples in the surrounding air.
In an instant, a pure and powerful mental force surged out from his body, like an invisible net, spreading in all directions, and even faintly formed the prototype of a domain!
Carlisle, a genius who was only in the first grade but had already reached the level of a fourth-order magician, actually showed everyone his extraordinary control over mental power in this crucial battle and successfully outlined the prototype of the domain!
Those floating balls seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. As soon as they appeared, they were enveloped in Carlisle's spiritual realm. In this area that seemed like an independent space, the flying leaves were like deadly hidden weapons, which instantly smashed the floating balls into pieces with a devastating force, turning them into powder all over the sky.
"Oh my God! Spiritual realm! This really is the prototype of the realm!" A man who looked like a teacher widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Is this really something a first-year student can do? This is incredible!" A female classmate covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of amazement.
It was obvious that Carlisle did not hold back at all this time and gave his all. He wanted to use his absolute strength to make Ed realize that the first place throne, which symbolized glory and the pinnacle, was not something he could covet.
However.....
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Carlisle has clearly used such a powerful weapon as the spiritual field, why... why..." A student pointed at the scoreboard on Ed's head with trembling fingers and screamed in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Why is Ed's score higher than Carlisle's?!"
"What?!"
This exclamation was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves. Countless students stood there in a daze as if they were under a spell, and then turned their eyes to the scoreboard.
They clearly saw that the number above Ed's head was 131; at the same time, the number on Carlisle's scoreboard was only 129!
The numbers quickly refreshed and it was found that Ed had been keeping the lead over Carlisle by 1-2 points!
"Is Carlisle still hiding his abilities?" a classmate murmured suspiciously.
"Impossible? How is this possible? How could Carlisle still hold back at this point?"
Another classmate immediately retorted, confusion in his eyes.
"There is no way Carlisle would hold back in this situation. We can only say that Ed has successfully suppressed Carlisle with his strength at this moment!" An experienced senior frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.
Hide your shortcomings? Hidden strength? What a joke! This was simply absurd and impossible in Carlisle's mind.
From the moment the opening whistle of the game sounded, he was like a completely enraged cheetah, giving his all and going all out, displaying the strongest magic power and the most exquisite magic skills he possessed without reservation.
At this moment, Carlisle's heart seemed to be filled with mixed feelings. Excitement, tension, anger and many other emotions intertwined with each other, making him upset.
On the one hand, he felt indescribable excitement at encountering such a strong opponent among the first-year students, as he had always thought highly of himself and always wanted to be invincible. It was as if he had suddenly found a clear spring in the dry desert, allowing him to rediscover the thrill of competing against a worthy opponent.
But on the other hand, when he realized that his opponent was Ed, his inner pride was instantly hurt, and the surging dissatisfaction was like a turbulent undercurrent.
Ed was just a commoner with ordinary birth and no background. In Carlisle's eyes, he was as insignificant as a speck of dust. How could he stand on the same level with himself and share the same glory with him in this peak showdown?
