Chapter 148: Eye of the Sun
Today, the challenge stage of Holy Tower Academy was a little more lively than usual.
Mark, the Flame Hand, who was ranked 17th on the academy's combat power list, faced off against an unknown senior apprentice, which attracted the attention of many apprentices who wanted to do something good.
Although the top twenty in the academy's combat power list are all senior and above apprentices, this does not mean that battles between senior and above apprentices will break out every day here at the challenge stage.
On weekdays, those who occupy the majority of the challenge stage are the middle and low-level apprentices from the Holy Tower Academy.
Because this group of apprentices accounts for the largest proportion in the academy.
The number of senior apprentices and above in the college may not exceed 1%.
Every senior apprentice is one of a hundred. They are geniuses among geniuses, and they are the seeds of the academy who have high hopes for the Holy Tower of Origin.
Whether they can save the dignity of the Blue Origin Holy Tower in the regional Holy Tower Academy war eight years later and fight for it is up to them.
When Thain and Mark arrived at the challenge platform, fights broke out on several challenge platforms in the Noda challenge platform area.
The apprentices in these battles are almost all apprentices below the intermediate level.
And Thane noticed that the Challenge Table wasn't just a place for apprentices to deal with personal conflicts.
There are also some apprentices with good relationships who are here purely to learn from each other or to test their newly learned magical powers.
For example, what Thain saw in his eyes at this time was that the two intermediate apprentices who had just stepped onto the challenge stage did not take action immediately.
Instead, they first performed a special ritual for magicians on each other, and then began to slowly chant the spell and release the magic.
This strange and unheard-of fighting method gave Thane a new understanding of surface magicians.
Of course, not all surface magicians are like this.
For example, in a national war, magicians from both sides will definitely not have the time to salute each other.
All kinds of powerful magics are directly in your face, which is one of the reasons why magicians cause great pressure and psychological shadow to the low-level knights in the secular kingdom war.
The appearance of Thane and Mark directly forced a pair of low-level apprentices who were discussing the battle to end their battle early.
Including the challenge platform, there are official magicians on duty for a long time.
After noticing the appearance of two senior apprentices with undisguised hostility in their eyes, Thane and Mark, a somewhat lazy and boring formal magician in yellow robes immediately cheered up.
The challenge platform of Holy Tower Academy is five meters above the ground, and each challenge platform is close to a hundred meters in diameter, which is enough for these apprentices to struggle in it.
In addition, a translucent white light film envelopes the outside of the challenge platform.
These white light films not only have the function of collecting scattered magic elements,
It also has the effect of rescuing and separating two challengers at critical moments.
The white light film looks very thin, but in fact it is blessed by the magic circle at the bottom of the challenge platform, and the power of an informal magician is unbreakable.
But despite this, some apprentices are still killed or injured on the challenge platform every year.
It's not that the defense of the white light film is not strong enough, but that sometimes battles and casualties occur too quickly.
Even if there is an official magician watching over you, there are times when you can't react.
After entering the challenge stage shrouded in white light film, senior apprentice Mark sneered and said, "Your name is Thain, right? I hope you won't fall on this challenge stage."
"To tell you the truth, I have already killed three apprentices on the challenge stage, including a senior apprentice."
"That layer of light film may not save your life." Mark said with squinted eyes.
"Are you threatening me? Or are you reminding me that I can kill you here?"
"I thought you three would come together."
"I didn't expect you were the only one here. Are you here to die?"
After stepping onto the challenge stage, Thain, who gradually entered a fighting state, answered tit for tat.
Thain's answer caused anger to rise on Senior Mark's face.
The two of them were not bored enough to perform mage rituals on each other.
Take action directly when you come up, and the last move is your killer move!
Senior Apprentice Mark is a long-established strong apprentice and a member of the royal family of the principality. In addition to his excellent fire element magic, he also has many good things.
The battle between apprentices on the challenge stage is not limited to magic battles.
Alchemy equipment, magic potions, Warcraft pets, summoning spells, etc., as long as you can use them well and do not violate the rules of the academy.
The official magicians who are watching the battle outside will not mind their own business.
Senior apprentice Mark is arrogant, but he is not to the point of ignoring Thane.
And his performance from the beginning also showed that this guy does have extremely rich experience in arena battles.
A wall of red fire appeared in front of Mark first.
This is an intermediate magic engraved in the necklace around Mark's neck, which can provide him with certain protection.
In addition, Mark's legs and wrists also have elemental ripples.
On the legs are a pair of air-skimming boots, which can increase Mark's jumping ability and even maintain low-altitude flight for several minutes.
On the wrist is an elemental ring for the wearer. The specific magic contained in it is not yet known, but what is certain is that the red elemental ring can increase the power of Mark's fire elemental magic.
As an alchemist apprentice, Thane
There was something good about Mark, and he had a pretty good idea of it even before he stepped onto the challenge stage.
None of the three magic items is ordinary, and these are only the items Mark has revealed.
It is unknown whether he has other magic items, as he obviously has space equipment.
After using the necklace to stimulate a wall of fire, Mark's magic chanting followed.
As a senior apprentice nicknamed "Hand of Fire", Mark's signature magic is a huge hand of fire element.
This hand of fire is somewhat similar to the intermediate magic hand of fire mastered by Sean, but the area is larger, the flame is hotter, and the power is stronger.
It has obviously reached the level of advanced magic and should be the research results of different formal magicians.
The hand of fire, burning with blazing flames, slapped directly at Sean.
The coverage area of several meters square seemed to engulf Sean completely.
At this time, Sean had also completed his magic chanting.
When the huge hand of fire slapped Sean, it did not achieve the results that Mark expected.
A layer of translucent yellow energy light shield suddenly appeared in front of Sean, helping Sean block Mark's flaming hand attack.
The yellow light shield appeared faster and more secretly, which indicated that the quality of the magic props in Sean's hand was not inferior to Mark's, and even better than his!
And Sean's magic has also taken shape. This is the first time Sean has used it against the enemy since he successfully studied the Eye of the Sun.
A huge blazing ring appeared in front of Sean. As Sean's spells continued to be chanted, elemental gold lines continued to outline complex magic arrays in the blazing ring in front of him.
From a distance, a lifelike huge golden eye seemed to take shape in front of Sean.
However, with the flames of the flaming hand covering and the earth element shield blocking, except for a very few people inside and outside the field, no one else noticed this situation at all.
"Haha, that little guy is going to lose."
"If he is knocked down in one blow, when he returns to the family, let's see if he will still be arrogant." A low female chuckle came from outside the challenge platform.
It turned out to be Magician Irene who had just finished class and appeared here.
"Well, that senior apprentice named Mark seems to be a junior of your family, Magician Irene?"
"He did meet a tough guy this time."
"But why is this apprentice's face so unfamiliar? I didn't even have the slightest impression of him before."
Outside the challenge stage, the yellow-robed official magician on duty said curiously to Irene who walked up to him.
