Chapter 2753: Wind of Petals

Faced with the shepherd's attack, Kael was ready at first. But soon, he found that the shepherd was testing and blocking rather than attacking.

The shepherd's test was different from the tests of others before. His test was more to confirm whether Kael had the power of wind.

Countless blue flowers appeared in the air. These flowers, which looked like roses, spun and fluttered, and came to Kael's side.

The flowers gradually trembled during the flight, as if they were foreshadowing what was about to happen. As the flowers approached Kael, they trembled even more, as if there was a surging energy inside that was eager to be released.

Finally, beside Kael, a large number of flowers reached the peak of trembling. Amid the rumbling sound, the flowers all exploded... or disintegrated.

The disintegration of the flowers brought countless petals, which were like sharp blades, impacting Kael at a high frequency.

This attack is not very strong, but it is very annoying, just like a mosquito constantly hovering around your ear. It does not cause a severe impact on you, but it can make you upset.

In the face of this kind of attack, the best way to deal with it is actually to ignore it. But the shepherd seems to have some sound skills. He aggravated the hissing sound produced when the petals cut through the air, and by adjusting the sound frequency, he constantly provoked Kael's tense heartstrings, aggravating this feeling of annoyance.

If you ignore it at this time, it will affect the next performance.

And how to deal with these petals has become Kael's current problem.

Kael understood what the shepherd meant. The reason why the shepherd used this harassment tactic instead of a direct attack was actually to test whether he had mastered the power of wind.

As the shepherd himself said before: Since Kael was unwilling to answer, he would test it himself.

If Kael had mastered the power of wind, then the simplest way would be what the alchemy puppet had done before: strong wind transformed into weak wind.

As long as Kael arranges a layer of strong wind around him, he can easily transform these weak petal winds.

And this method of arranging a layer of wind around him is not even a trick for wind apprentices. It can only be said to be a basic application of wind power.

Therefore, if Kael chooses to use other methods to crack these petal winds, then it basically exposes the fact that he does not know the power of wind.

And the shepherd made it so complicated just to prove this conclusion.

Although Kael understood the shepherd's intention, he really didn't understand why the shepherd had to confirm whether he had mastered the power of wind?

In such a high-pressure battle, isn't it redundant to prove such a worthless conclusion?

Kael hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to call the alchemy puppet back. After all, the one who really possesses the power of wind is the speed spirit hidden in the alchemy puppet.

But for some reason, when Kael tried to contact the speed spirit through the device in the alchemy puppet, the speed spirit did not respond.

Kael looked at the alchemy puppet in doubt and found that the four black-faced sheep had turned into four terrifying whirlpools, surrounding Su Ling.

Su Ling was trapped by the four black-faced sheep?

But isn't Su Ling an elemental creature close to the formal wizard level? Why was he trapped by four black-faced sheep of unknown origin?

When Kael was suspicious, the wind of petals around him became more and more dense, and the hissing sound made him more and more irritated.

After hesitating for a while, Kael chose to use the defense of the space system to resist these petal winds.

Among the defenses of various systems, only the defense of the space system is a third-level trick, because the power of space is not as easy to master as other elements, and once the power of space is out of control, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, the defense of the space system is the only third-level trick among the same level of defense. The defense strength may not be the highest, but the difficulty of performing the spell is definitely the greatest.

Kael's use of the defense of the space system at this time gives people a feeling of using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

However, this was also intentional by Kael.

It’s not that he doesn’t know other defensive arts. The reason why he chose the most difficult space defensive art is purely bluffing.

Anyway, if he uses any other defensive art, the shepherd will judge that he can’t use the power of wind, so he simply uses the most difficult space defensive art.

There is a sense of deliberate rebellion: I see through your purpose, but I just don’t follow your script.

Kael doesn’t know whether the shepherd will be blinded by this bluff, but it is a coping strategy after all. Besides, even if the shepherd sees through his thoughts, it doesn’t matter.

It’s just to show that he doesn’t know the power of wind, which is not a big deal.

He hesitated to answer before, just because he was embarrassed. Because things like "wizard-level alchemical puppets" are not something that can be mastered at the apprentice stage. As long as they are exposed, it can be determined that this is definitely a means given by a formal wizard.

Even though everyone has extra-discussing means, the help received by the ghost or pink moss on the opposite side is still within the scope of apprentices. It was a bit too exaggerated for him to directly use the formal wizard-level extra-discipline means to participate in the apprentice duel.

That's why he didn't answer the shepherd's question before.

But since the alchemical puppet was able to go down, it meant that the wise master acquiesced that it met the rules of the duel. Therefore, if it was really exposed, it wouldn't matter.

Kael's counter-measures really stunned the shepherd for a moment.

However, the shepherd quickly came to his senses, shook his head secretly, and looked at Kael with some amusement. It seemed to tell Kael that he had seen through these tricks.

Kael was not affected by the shepherd's attitude. As he said, he didn't think it was a big deal; the reason why he took a detour and deliberately rebelled was just because he didn't want the shepherd to get the proof so easily.

Compared to being seen through by the shepherd, Kael is more concerned about the situation of Su Ling.

Why did Su Ling have no feedback at all? What did the four black-faced sheep do to Su Ling?

Kael was very worried that something would happen to Su Ling. He knew very well how precious elemental creatures were in the southern region. If something really happened, he couldn't afford to pay for it.

Thinking of this, Kael flew towards Su Ling with the space defense technique.

Kael had not considered at all that Speed ​​Spirit was a nearly wizard-level existence. If something happened to it, Kael would not be able to help even if he rushed over.

On the other hand, the shepherd currently knew that Kael would most likely not use the power of wind, but it had not yet been proved where the previous power of wind came from. Was it cast by the alchemical puppet?

The reason why the shepherd cared so much about this answer was that those winds... were very different.

The shepherd also had his own secrets, and those winds seemed to have some kind of fit with his own secrets?

Therefore, before reaching a conclusion, the shepherd would naturally not let Kael disturb the four little ones.

The shepherd quickly caught up with Kael. This time he did not use the power of wind, but directly blocked it. With the bonus of the power of wind, the shepherd was extremely fast and easily stopped Kael.

They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Kael knew that this close encounter was inevitable.

…

At the same time, under the arena, Dox found Angel again.

"Do you know what I want to do most now?"

Angel: "???" What do you want to do?

Dox clenched his fists and stared at the shepherd on the arena with a vicious look: "I want to beat that guy up once."

If it was before, Wai would definitely complain at this time: "Are you envious of him or jealous of him?"

But now without Wai as the person to pick up the joke, Angle didn't want to say anything, Dox could only talk to himself: "Because that guy did something treasonous!"

Angel looked at Dox suspiciously. The shepherd seemed to be behaving properly. There was nothing treasonous, right?

Seeing that Angle finally paid attention to him, Dox hurriedly said: "He actually summoned four such ugly sheep!"

The four black-faced sheep? Angle looked carefully. In his aesthetic point of view, black-faced sheep are not ugly. They look like sheep overall, with fluffy and naturally curly hair, pure white and flawless, only the face is black.

Even though their faces were black, they didn't look ugly. On the contrary, because of the color, they covered their protruding noses, making their faces look flat and fluffy and cute.

And this color combination reminded Angel of a cat from Earth that he saw on a holographic tablet, which also gave him a more subjective filter in his evaluation.

However, Angel didn't refute Dox. Everyone has different aesthetics. His aesthetics may not be his ugliness. So, he respected Dox's opinion.

However, if you want to beat the shepherd just because of the appearance of the black-faced sheep, isn't this a bit of a distorted value?

While Angel was thinking about this, Dox continued: "The most important thing is that he actually gave these four ugly sheep such heinous names!"

Angel recalled that the shepherd seemed to have called the four sheep by their names before, like: Black One, Black Two, Black Three, Baby? What's so heinous about this?

"The names themselves are ugly, and they are not symmetrical! Let's not talk about Black One, Black Two, and Black Three. Shouldn't the last one be Black Four? How did it become Baby? What is the connection between Baby and the previous ones?"

Listening to Dox's accusation and Dox's impatient look, Angel had a guess in his mind:

Some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will go crazy when they notice some discordant places. Only when everything follows the rules will they feel comfortable.

Is Dox such a person?

But Angel remembered that this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder patient is very obsessed with order. Dox himself is not so obsessive-compulsive and prefers freedom. Doesn't look like an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient?

At this time, a weak voice came from the side: "Gold One, Gold Two, Gold Three, Gold Four, these are the names of the group of sandworms he raised."

Angel turned his head and found that the person who spoke was Wai, who had not spoken for a long time.

Wai's expression was still sad and his face was still very pale, but at least his eyes were more energetic than before.

As long as he doesn't mention the past, Wai should be able to recover slowly.

Angel: "I remember the sandworm he raised, isn't it called Little Jin?"

Besides, Dox owed Angle a Little Jin.

Wai: "Little Jin is just a nickname, the official name is Jin San."

Hearing what Wai said, Angle understood a little. Dox is an atypical obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. He usually has no symptoms, but when he gets serious about certain things, he can't stand it.

He didn’t think much of his sandworms, which were named Jinyi to Jinsi, and he didn’t care whether they had nicknames or not. But when he heard that other people’s black-faced sheep were named Heiyi to Heisan, plus a baby, he couldn’t help it.

However, even if he understood it a little, Angel still felt it was a bit absurd. It’s just a name, maybe the baby itself has nothing to do with Heiyi to Heisan, and it may have its own combination, such as "Beibei".

Just as Angel was thinking about this, the shepherd on the stage suddenly called out: "Heiyi, assist your brother, don’t let that alchemical puppet break through the wind vortex!"

Angel: "..."

If they were ranked according to the order in which the shepherd called them before, Heiyi would be the boss and the baby would be the fourth. But now, the shepherd called Heiyi the assistant brother? Brother? In other words, the baby is the boss? Then why did you call the baby last just now?

Angel’s head was full of question marks.

He glanced at Dox next to him, and Dox had already clenched his teeth.

At this time, Angel finally understood Dox's mood. Because his hands were itching...

"Angel, what's wrong with your Speed ​​Spirit?" The voice of the Black Count sounded in the mind band at the right time, instantly eliminating the gradually anxious atmosphere in the mind band.

Angel: "I don't know."

Dox turned his head at this time and said, "Isn't it your elemental partner? How come you don't even know?"

Angel looked at Dox with a calm face silently. Didn't he want to fight and kill before? Why did he change his face so quickly?

Angel shrugged: "Maybe it's because those little guys are more cute?"

Angel knew what the Black Count and Dox meant. Speed ​​Spirit was surrounded by the four black-faced sheep and didn't come out. This situation was very strange.

Not to mention them, even Angel himself was confused.

When Kael contacted Speed ​​Spirit before, Angel also sensed it, but Speed ​​Spirit didn't give Kael feedback, which was also very strange.

At first, Angel thought that Su Ling was in danger, but through the connection of the contract and the gift of super perception, Angel was sure that Su Ling was fine.

But why Su Ling was fine, but did not come out from the encirclement of those black-faced sheep... Angel did not know.

After all, Su Ling was just his subordinate, not a real elemental partner.
