Chapter 118: The river is like a mirror, and the mountains are covered with fog
The light of the silver moon quickly spread out in an arc above Huo Anan, blocking the thorny vines.
But the vines did not retreat. Instead, they spun faster and faster, like a diamond, determined to break through the thin barrier formed by the light of the silver moon.
At the same time, Huo Anan had an estimate in his mind——
It will break, it can't be stopped...
She gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and manipulated the silver moonlight.
The arc-shaped silver moonlight folded in like an umbrella, with the tip of the umbrella pointing at the vines, and began to rotate in the opposite direction.
The attribute of Huo Anan's Silver Moonlight is gold, while the attribute of all things is wood. Among the five elements of mutual generation and mutual restraint, gold always restrains wood.
A moment later, the vines created by the spell of the birth of all things were defeated in the tit-for-tat contest, shattered into pieces, and scattered on the field.
Miao Yuchen, who was at a disadvantage in the contest, was not anxious at all. He calmly reminded:
"Schoolgirl, look around."
Huo Anan looked around when he heard that.
As she manipulated the light of the silver moon to fight against all living things, flowers bloomed all around her. These flowers, with thorns on their stems, were brightly colored. Just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that they were not as harmless as the pink and white flowers at the beginning.
In nature, the more beautiful a plant is, the more poisonous it is.
They are emitting a rich fragrance.
Miao Yuchen introduced his flowers to Huo Anan:
"The scent of these flowers can make you sleepy. If you are surrounded by them, you have already lost."
"Really?"
Huo Anan smiled and said,
"I may be in danger, but are you safe right now?"
The silver metal climbed up from Miao Yuchen's back, changing from liquid to solid, and the sharp tip of the cone lightly touched Miao Yuchen's carotid artery.
Miao Yuchen was surprised: "When..."
"When I first entered the battlefield, I split the Silver Moon's Radiance into two parts. I used one part to fight you, while the other part sneaked underground and approached you silently."
Huo Anan raised his head, crossed his arms, and said,
"So, Senior, tell me, if this were an actual fight, would I faint first from the fragrance released by your flower? Or would you be the first to have your carotid artery pierced by the Silver Moon's light, bleeding to death?"
Miao Yuchen sighed, raised his hands and said:
"I lost."
The two players cleaned the playing field. After cleaning, they both left the field and were replaced by the next player.
In the audience, Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia came over and sat down on both sides of Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can.
"Is today's game over?"
Shi Can handed Ye Yangjia a bottle of electrolyte water and asked,
"You didn't get beaten to the ground, did you?"
Ye Yangjia was a player in Group A of the qualifiers. Like Lin Zhuyue, he had to compete every day during this period. It was impossible for him to come to Group A's venue before the day's competition was completed.
Ye Yangjia took the drink and said:
"An easy win, and I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"I'm not disappointed, I'm just surprised."
Shi Can said sarcastically,
"Who can you possibly defeat with these two guns that can only fire small Five Emperors coins? And you win so easily. How weak is your opponent?"
Ye Yangjia sneered and said:
"I really want to put two bullets in your head."
Wen Miyan was too lazy to bother with her two childhood friends. She lowered her head and browsed the Spiritual Master Mansion Forum. As she was browsing, she found something interesting and exclaimed:
"Wow, what's Gong Yongyuan's fate? Yesterday he beat up his cousin, and today he ran into his partner."
When Shi Can heard that Gong Yongyuan and Meng Qi were teaming up to kill each other, he couldn't sit still anymore and asked excitedly:
"Is the fight over? Or is it still going on? Is there a video?"
If he hadn't had to accompany Lin Zhuyue, Shi Can would have immediately driven to the edge of Group D's competition field to "cheer up" Gong Yongyuan and Meng Qi.
Wen Miyan took out her phone and sent a message:
"I just got on the court. A female junior student I'm close with was watching the game over there. I asked her if I could start a live broadcast."
After a while, Wen Miyan received a video call on her mobile phone. Wen Miyan answered the video, turned the phone sideways, and looked at the Group D field in the video.
Gong Yongyuan was hit on the face by his cousin yesterday. He had a plaster on each side of his cheek, with pictures of Cinnamon Dog and Miffy Rabbit on them.
"Hahaha……"
Meng Qi, who was standing opposite, laughed wildly and slapped his thigh, saying,
"You...it's so hot, and you wore a mask all day, just to cover this? Why didn't you take it off in the classroom during the day, but now you take it off on the field? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Shameful?"
Gong Yongyuan raised his hand and touched the plaster on his face, saying,
"This is a drawing a girl drew for me. Do you have it?"
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment and said angrily:
"Are you sick? Who asked you this?"
Less than a minute after coming on stage, the partnership between Gong Yongyuan and Meng Qi was shattered.
Meng Qi formed seals with his hands and said:
"The river is like a mirror, and the mountains are shrouded in mist."
The stadium was filled with mist.
"Calling the mist..."
Lin Zhuyue thought of his opponent from yesterday and asked,
"Is it a similar ability to Jiang Guangji?"
Shi Can shook his head and said:
"Meng Dake is much stronger than Jiang Guangji."
Meng Qi took a few steps back, his figure disappearing into the mist. But his ambush wasn't so simple. After he vanished from the sight of his opponent and the spectators, the sound of a cuckoo, the whistling wind, and the rushing river drifted through the mist...
Amid the noisy sounds, the shadows of mountains emerged, and the river water came from the northwest, passed through the center of the stadium, and flowed to the southeast.
"What he just used was a spell to summon water mist."
Shi Can explained to Lin Zhuyue,
"Water has the quality of a mirror. Therefore, the mist he summoned caused the illusion of rivers and mountains. This illusion was both audible and tangible, confusing reality with illusion, and concealing dangerous tactics—"
Gong Yongyuan was not panicked despite being in the illusion.
Water droplets splattered from the river as it passed by his feet. Gong Yongyuan calmly stepped aside, splashing the water droplets onto the rocks beside him. The rocks were phantoms, and the water droplets passed through them and landed on the playing field.
"Water of the Evil Spirit."
Shi Can shook the water bottle in his hand and said,
"If you are splashed by this water, your spiritual energy will become disordered for the next two hours, and the spells you use will be ineffective."
Ye Yangjia shook his head lightly and sighed:
"If it were someone else, they might have succeeded, but the Immortal knows Meng Dake too well."
At this time, the sound of a horn blew from the Group D field.
In the hazy mountain fog and the rushing river, one after another burly figures formed by water stood up, riding war horses, surrounding Gong Yongyuan from all directions, trapping him.
"This is Meng Qi's spiritual weapon, called 'Horn of Water Calling'."
Wen Miyan stared at the screen intently and said,
"The 'Water-Calling Horn' is shaped like a horn. As long as the surrounding environment is humid enough, blowing the 'Water-Calling Horn' will prompt the 'Water Cavalry' to respond. The spell he just used to summon the mist was in preparation for using the spiritual weapon. The maximum number of 'Water Cavalry' that Meng Qi can control is approximately sixteen..."
Facing the siege of sixteen "water cavalrymen", Gong Yongyuan took a step forward calmly.
He retreated, dodging two water cavalrymen charging from the side, then took a split step, lowered his altitude, and avoided the enemy's attack...
Every move he made was smooth and effortless, and he accurately grasped the opponent's blind spots.
When the last water cavalryman rushed forward, Gong Yongyuan did not retreat anymore. Instead, he exerted force with his feet and rushed straight towards the water cavalryman.
A golden scale appeared in his hand.
"Spirit of the mountains and rivers, I will exert three times my strength—"
Gong Yongyuan grabbed the cavalryman's horse's head, jumped on it, and said,
"One, to resist the one who is exerting force on you; two, to serve you as I will; three, to ask the heavens, the earth, and the mountains and rivers to grant you overwhelming power, invincible and unstoppable!"
"Three Golden Balances, Gong Yongyuan's spiritual weapon."
Shi Can stared at the scale in Gong Yongyuan's hand and said,
"Using three times the strength, he can return the opponent's moves... It consumes too much spiritual energy, and if he encounters an opponent with stronger spiritual power, he will definitely be exhausted to death. Therefore, he usually does not use it in actual combat."
The mist and mountain shadows on the field dissipated.
Meng Qi also appeared on the sidelines.
The water cavalrymen recruited by Gong Yongyuan rushed in front of him and were about to knock Meng Qi away. Suddenly, the water cavalrymen turned into a ball of water and splashed Meng Qi in the face.
"Just admit defeat."
Gong Yongyuan extended his hand to Meng Qi and said,
"My pants are wet. I have to go downstairs and change them."
After watching the Group D match, Lin Zhuyue was a little worried.
These four-school leagues are simply full of hidden talents.
In the seventh game of Group C, Lin Zhuyue came on the court.
The contestant in this competition is a little special. He is not from the senior grades like most of his opponents, but a young second-grade contestant from the last class, Class 9.
His name is Xun Xinze. Lin Zhuyue is not sure about his fighting style for the time being... Because in yesterday's game, he had a stomachache and was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so he squatted in the public toilet all night and missed the first round of the game.
Very weird.
The strange contestant came on stage holding a mirror shrouded in cold black mist and greeted Lin Zhuyue gracefully:
"Senior, please give me some advice."
"Senior, I've heard of you a long time ago. Or rather, no one in this academy doesn't know your name."
Xun Xin held up the mirror and said,
"On the contrary, not many people know my name. My family doesn't care much about me because I have little talent and am not very smart. They never had any hope for me."
"I want to be as famous as you, and I've been waiting for this opportunity—this competition is my chance. If I can beat you in the competition, I will definitely become famous."
A thick, ominous black fog poured out of the mirror.
Xun Xin said:
"If I rely solely on my own abilities, I probably won't be able to win. Therefore, I made sufficient preparations for the competition and summoned the Mirror Fairy."
The black fog pounced towards Lin Zhuyue with its fangs and claws, opening its bloody mouth as if it wanted to swallow Lin Zhuyue completely.
However, the moment Lin Zhuyue was taken into his mouth, golden flames erupted. The black mist let out a hoarse cry of pain, gave up on swallowing Lin Zhuyue, and swam high into the sky.
Lin Zhuyue drew his recurve bow, aimed at Xun Xinze, and asked:
"You call this thing a fairy?"
"A folk name, a folk name..."
Xun Xin said with a wry smile,
"Don't dwell on it so much... Senior, your erhua (erhua) is really standard. I remember there was a senior in your class who was really good at fighting. His ancestral home was in Shandong, but he always pronounced the erhua as 'e'—"
"Hahahahaha, there seems to be a lot of scandals between this senior and you... Hey, wait, damn! Jingxian, you——"
Shi Chan in the audience: "..."
Sometimes he really hated that he didn't have to participate in the preliminaries and couldn't get on the field, otherwise he would definitely beat to death this stupid and arrogant junior from Class 9, Grade 2.
The black fog was like a giant python, flying straight down from the sky, opening its huge mouth and swallowing Xun Xinze directly into it.
Xun Xinze's voice came from the belly of the black fog:
"It's the master!"
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
Is it possible that the Mirror Immortal's specialty is never to fight against enemies, but to treat its owner as an enemy. Fighting has never been its strong point, but devouring its owner is its specialty.
