Then Austen did not wait for Daniel to respond and turned to look outside the Arena, where the Formal Wizard acting as Judge was explaining the battle.
"That's a good idea, utilizing the principle of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—interacting with each other while controlling five elemental particles, merging them together to create a super-large spell.
Although Daniel's control was somewhat lacking, as he couldn't manage an equal number of elemental particles, the quantity decreased as he progressed. However, for a Wizard Apprentice, this was already quite impressive; the power of the entire spell reached 486 degrees."
He was immediately stunned into silence. What did 486 degrees even mean?
The strongest spell power of a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice is only about 80 degrees. Those who can reach 50 degrees are already among the Elite Apprentices. As for those who can achieve 400 degrees, they are absolute powerhouses, truly monstrous beings; there might not even be one among a thousand Third-Level Apprentices.
Although theoretically, a Wizard Apprentice can reach an attack degree of up to 500 degrees, that is merely theoretical. With each step forward, countless strong contenders are eliminated.
Daniel's spell was among the top even among those who have participated in the Talent Wizard Championship throughout history.
Fortunately, he managed to hold on in the end.
Austen turned to look at Daniel and said with great admiration, "Good skill! I didn't expect you to push me to this extent. However, in the end, I still won. I don't believe you have any more powerful spells."
"Is that so?"
Daniel smiled proudly. With his voice, there was a crack sound; the previously intact Arena suddenly fractured right beneath Austen's feet. After Daniel's earlier spell attack, he had already reached the edge of the Arena.
As the Arena broke apart, Austen began to slide down. He intended to take two steps forward but was stopped by Daniel's spell. He had not yet recovered from the previous attack and felt somewhat unsteady; he could only helplessly follow the fragments as they fell below the Arena.
In such a dramatic scene, Austen stood up in disbelief. How could this be possible?
These Arenas were specifically prepared for the Talent Wizard Championship; some had even remained intact after more than ten editions of the Championship. Why did he have to encounter a malfunctioning Arena?
He turned and shouted at the Judge, "What is going on? This is unfair; I refuse to accept it."
The Judge shook his head and said calmly, "Indeed, you lost. The spell that Daniel cast on you earlier was Devil's Skull, which is a Fate Studies spell known as Fate's Abandonment Great Curse. The reason the Arena fractured is also related to this spell."
Austen was stunned; he never expected such strange sorcery. However, since he had been judged, he could only blame his own misfortune.
Fortunately, as a strong contender who had already entered the third round, it was not like the previous two rounds where losing meant elimination without any chance for reversal. He would enter the loser's bracket and compete with others for rankings.
With even Austen defeated, Daniel's reputation instantly soared. While no one knew how strong Austen's attack power was, his defensive capabilities were well-known, yet he was still defeated by Daniel.
In the remaining matches, Daniel had relatively good luck and did not encounter any other formidable opponents. They might be strong enough to survive through multiple battles without being eliminated, with their Mental Power at least above nine points, but compared to Daniel, they still fell short and were easily defeated by him.
By now, the top eight had been determined, and several impressive figures emerged. Franklin was undoubtedly the strongest contender, with high expectations of securing first place.
Many even believed he would take first place without any doubt.
The second most mysterious competitor was known only as Elisa; aside from knowing her name and that she was female based on her voice, no one knew what kind of sorcery she practiced. Those who fought against her often did not understand what had happened before they were defeated.
It was only known that she commanded a group of Puppets with considerable power, suggesting she might be a Puppet Sorcerer.
Alongside Daniel, these three made up the top three among the eight competitors, all super strong individuals with Mental Power reaching a perfect score of one hundred points.
As for the remaining competitor, it was the unfortunate Austen. He was eliminated by Daniel in the third match; otherwise, he would have undoubtedly been among the top eight and a strong contender for a top three position.
Now he could only compete for ninth place against other eliminated competitors and another strong individual among them to secure a spot in the top ten of this Talent Wizard Championship.
Initially, the Talent Wizard Championship only recognized the top eight. According to Formal Wizard rules, if you could not stand at the peak after multiple battles—even losing just one match—it indicated insufficient ability.
Even if your abilities surpassed those of the second-place competitor but you simply encountered the first-place competitor at an unfortunate moment and lost, so what?
Luck is also a facet of strength; if luck is lacking, then do not complain about your abilities. Should you also expect to blame your defeat on bad luck against your opponent on the battlefield? If you have what it takes, let’s have another match!
However, as the Talent Wizard Championship occurred more frequently, many such unfortunate cases arose. Even some who became Grand Wizards opposed this notion. Thus, ninth and tenth places were introduced to comfort these unlucky individuals.
Aside from these four top contenders, the remaining five were Mary, Helena, Lisaack, Lester, and Gordon; they were all competitors in the top eight.
Each had reached ninety-nine points in Mental Power—just one point shy of perfection—demonstrating how fierce the competition was.
When it came to the Quarterfinals, the situation was different. Daniel and his group of eight stood in a row, surrounded by many Formal Wizards who had come to watch. The largest crowd was gathered around the Tower Master of the Wizard Tower and the headmaster of the academy.
In the front row sat eight people, smiling brightly and greeting others with great joy, their tails almost wagging with excitement.
They were the headmasters of Daniel's group, feeling proud to have such talented apprentices.
Not only were they invited to sit in the front row and enjoy the most attention, but after Daniel and his group determined their rankings, a considerable fortune would also flow into the academy as a reward from the alliance.
Franklin walked over and extended his hand to Daniel. "Great, I finally get to meet you. Let's have a fair fight this time and see who is stronger."
Daniel shook his hand, smiling somewhat awkwardly. Even now, he only felt about fifty percent confident in facing Franklin. This was based on his knowledge of Fate Studies magic; otherwise, his chances of winning would be less than ten percent.
But he still said, "Alright, let's see who is strong and who is weak."
Franklin was about to say something else when Mary excitedly pulled him back and said, "You have to get past me first. Let me see what skills you really have."
Franklin turned back with a faint smile, full of confidence. "Sure, I remember you; your close combat skills are quite good. I'll defeat you first."
