Chapter 1774 Withdrawal

"If you pass the test, you can also learn about the biggest secret of Cloudsdale, which is related to the existence of the construction factory."

Papa Gushu smiled mysteriously, and in the end he sold it off.

"On this basis, if you can help me fulfill Master Wavrunier's last wish, you can even become the new master of this city and even myself, and control a powerful weapon. With this super weapon, you can easily Destroy a country!"

After hearing Papa Gushu's answer, Joan remained silent.

The benefits that can be obtained by passing the test are tempting, but what Joan cares more about is the price to be paid for refusing the test.

As a person with a relatively conservative risk appetite, Joan looks down on the benefits that have not yet been obtained, but especially cherishes what he already has.

If he refused the test, he would have to hand over many treasures including the artifact collar, and the promise he made to Clark at the beginning would become empty words. The price was too heavy for him to take it calmly.

Now, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the challenge from Papa Gushu.

Anyway, the price of failure to challenge is the same as that of refusing to challenge, so why not give it a try?

What's more, Joan felt that he still had a glimmer of hope of winning.

Of course, in terms of pure spellcasting ability, Joan was at least two blocks behind a quasi-legendary mage like Papa Gushu.

However, the outcome of a mage duel does not depend entirely on who has a higher level of spells. Joan can use tactics to make up for the shortcomings in spellcasting ability.

After a few minutes of thinking, Joan formed a feasible combat strategy in his mind, and his self-confidence also increased.

"Old sir, I am willing to accept your test."

Joan looked up at Papa Gushu with a very serious expression on his face.

"But before that, I hope you can give me half an hour to recover my strength and fully prepare for the challenge."

"Only half an hour? Of course there is no problem!" Gu Shu's father agreed straightforwardly, "Little guy, I like the look in your eyes now, it is firm and courageous, and at the same time not lacking in the brilliance of wisdom, now you can start doing it." Get ready, we will face off here in half an hour, I hope you can bring me some surprises."

Qiao An forced a smile, turned his back to the ancient book father and sat on the floor, silently recited the mantra linking "Cloud Network", and entered his spell slot deposit account.

After a whole day of exploration and fighting, Joan's spell slots have been consumed by more than half. Fortunately, there is still a "deposit" accumulated in his Yunwang account.

In order to obtain higher interest income, Joan's inexhaustible "mythic power" every day was converted into power points and deposited into Yunwang's psionic account, so his psionic savings amount was higher than that of spell slots. The amount is much higher.

During the next preparation time, Qiao An first took out a large amount of psionic savings, and then sold them at the current exchange rate on the "cloud asset" trading market affiliated to Yunwang.

Anyway, there is a lot of savings, and it is rare for Joan to squander it. The sold psionic assets are exchanged for 1st to 5th ring spell slots, and 20 of each are reserved, plus "myth power" and "Sid's mana", to deal with a spell Duels are more than enough.

This series of cloud asset trading operations is complicated to say the least, but in fact the whole process is completed through mental manipulation, and it takes less than two minutes to complete.

For the rest of the time, Joan swallowed a "Meditation Capsule" and entered a state of meditation. It took less than 15 minutes to match the 100 newly taken spell slots with the ones that might be used in the duel. spell.

Joan finished his meditation and said to Papa Gushu, "I'm ready, the duel can begin."

"Very good, little guy, no matter what tricks you know, feel free to use them against my old man!"

Gushu Daddy said confidently.

"You are an elder, so I should ask you to make the move first."

Joan replied respectfully.

"Little guy, there is no such thing as respecting the old and caring for the young in the duel arena. If you let me strike first, then you probably won't have a chance to fight back." Father Gushu warned coldly.

"It's okay, I will bear the consequences for the decisions I make, please enlighten me." Joan replied blankly.

Father Gushu looked at him in surprise, and after a long time he said angrily, "What a weird kid! Forget it, since you insist on this, I won't be polite."

The opening and closing of the ancient book is like flapping wings, using this weird way to replace the spell-casting gesture. At the same time, Joan heard a series of incantations coming out in the ancient giant language from the old man of the ancient book. Otherwise, they would not be able to understand the opponent's incantation at all, and the difficulty of identifying spells would be greatly increased.

In the blink of an eye, Papa Gushu completed the spell-casting ceremony, raised his hand and shot a dark ray at Joan.

At this time, Joan had recognized that the opponent had released the fifth-level "Monster Hold", and he happened to have prepared this spell just now, raised his finger without thinking, and cast the same spell.

A beautiful "spell counter" successfully defuses the attack of Papa Gushu.

In the first round of the duel between the old and young mages, it seemed that no one took advantage of it, but Joan was secretly relieved, because this was the result he wanted.

"Huh? It's kind of interesting!" Father Gu Shu raised his white eyebrows, his expression a little displeased, "Try this again, this time you will definitely not be able to counter my spell!"

The confident announcement was still echoing in the air, that Papa Gushu had launched a second round of offensive, still using ray spells, but this time what was fired was a beam of green light, containing terrifying magic power to destroy everything.

"Six-ring dissociation technique?!"

Qiao An guessed the spell that Papa Gushu cast this time in an instant, and he can only cast spells with a maximum level of 5. Under normal circumstances, unless he gambled with his luck with the "Dispel" of level 3, there would be no safer way to do so. Counter 6-level spells.

Joan doesn't want to gamble on luck.

"Dissociation Technique" can be called the most lethal spell for a single target below level 9. If he loses the bet, he will be disintegrated into ashes on the spot. The consequences are too serious, and he can't afford to bet on it.

Joan doesn't need to gamble on luck, because he has a special method that can leapfrog counterspells!

After extracting the power of two myths, Qiao An promptly cast "myth countermeasures" and successfully smoothed the turbulent magic net.

Watching the dissociation rays released by himself being dispersed by Joan with a wave of his hand casually, Papa Gushu couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"What's going on? There's still such an operation!"

"There is such an operation, old man, haven't you seen it?" Joan asked casually.

Papa Gushu showed embarrassment and was speechless for a moment.
