"This is the formation?!" The golden patterns spread for less than a meter before closing into a circle, forming the central hub of a large array.
"This speed! It's simply despairing." Yuki Chiba forced a smile. Typically, a mage's casting speed would surpass that of a Rune Master, but the young girl opposite her was casting almost twice as fast. How could that not be disheartening?
Han Mu Yu remained calm, continuing to quickly inscribe the third rune. She performed the same action again, and another beam of golden light appeared in front of the formation. The golden lines on the ground began to extend again, soon forming another circle!
Yuki Chiba had become very composed, standing quietly in place. Aside from her initial fireball attack, she made no further attempts at offense, as if resigned to her fate.
Seeing Yuki Chiba like this, many fans were displeased, while those supporting Han Mu Yu were joyfully celebrating.
Even His Majesty the Emperor, seated on the First Observation Platform, couldn't help but rise to watch the young Female Rune Master create miracles.
With the Emperor standing, Chen Rui and Li Li naturally couldn't remain seated and had to stand alongside His Majesty to watch.
Han Mu Yu's fourth rune was not inscribed as before in thin air; instead, she bit her index finger and used her blood to write directly on the ground at the hub of the formation. As the fourth rune took effect, the entire array began to change from gold to bright red at its core, appearing more menacing.
Suddenly, Yuki Chiba extended her right hand without moving her lips. She slowly took two steps forward, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Sure enough, the Wind Wall began to weaken. Yuki Chiba's radius of movement increased, indicating that the Wind Wall wouldn't hold much longer.
Noticing Yuki Chiba's movements, Han Mu Yu frowned slightly and immediately bit her left index finger. Her hands began to sweep frantically across the ground, her speed noticeably increasing.
The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth runes were all inscribed and fell into the array. The massive formation had begun to operate; it just needed an activation spell to unleash its deadly strike.
At that moment, the Wind Wall completely collapsed. Countless hearts hung in suspense; this was truly a test of speed. If Han Mu Yu could write her activation spell quickly enough, she would surely emerge victorious.
However, at this moment, Han Mu Yu felt weak after using her blood to inscribe six runes. Looking at Yuki Chiba, who was no longer restrained by the Wind Wall, she forced a smile and prepared to surrender.
"Since you've finished writing them all, why not let it activate?" Yuki Chiba said lightly with a smile but made no move or indication of casting any spells.
This puzzled not only Han Mu Yu but also countless players present and viewers watching the live stream. Was she really going to hand over victory? Or did she not want such an unremarkable win?
"I just feel it's a pity that I can't activate such a beautiful formation," Yuki Chiba said with a disdainful smile.
Arrogance! What kind of attitude is this, as if it doesn't matter whether you activate it or not? Is this giant formation not enough to turn you into dust? Even the Queen's fans were puzzled, wondering if Your Majesty had lost her mind.
"Thank you."
Han Mu Yu performed a fist salute to Yuki Chiba and began to write the runes to activate the formation in mid-air. Since it was merely an activation rune, there was no need to enhance its power with blood.
Once the runes were completed, they slowly fell into the giant formation. Suddenly, red blood light erupted from the patterns on the formation, rapidly surrounding Yuki Chiba. Moments later, she was completely enveloped.
Although he wasn't present at the scene, even through the screen, one could feel the murderous aura and immense power of that blood light. While it wasn't as violent as the previous fiery attack, this seemingly gentle move concealed true danger.
The blood light lasted for half a minute before gradually dimming. During that time, no one in the Training Ground spoke; everyone stared intently at the center of the blood light, none daring to predict what would happen to Yuki Chiba. Even if she were to vanish without a trace, it wouldn't surprise the audience too much.
As the blood light completely disappeared, a pale blue circular shield appeared in the Training Ground, within which stood two identical figures!
"What! What kind of spell is this?!"
Countless people stared in shock at the circular shield where Yuki Chiba stood. The two figures inside appeared completely unharmed, and they seemed to be chatting...
Soon, the circular shield gradually faded away, revealing three people on stage—two Yuki Chibas!
"So that's how it is! I should have thought of that," Han Mu Yu said with a self-deprecating smile, raising his right hand and shouting, "I concede!"
The referee looked worriedly at the registration list before daring to step onto the stage to announce the result. The entire Training Ground erupted in excitement.
"What is this? One person turned into two? Can it be played like this?" "Unfair! Unfair!!!"
The Chief Judge also stood up from the referee's seat and declared loudly, "Group 118, two registered participants, Mage and Mage, with no violations recorded. Group 118 advances to the finals!"
On the First Observation Platform, Chen Rui grabbed Li Li by the collar and asked, "What’s going on? How did she get here?"
Li Li explained with a bitter smile, "After all, she is my sister. I can't possibly detain her. She is genuinely interested in this, and she is following the proper procedures. There’s a one in a million chance that she might run into something. What excuse do I have to stop her from coming? Besides, she has already forgotten about those things, so there’s nothing wrong with this. On the contrary, if she never showed up, that would draw more attention!"
"You think you’re so reasonable!" Chen Rui snorted and chose to ignore Li Li. Indeed, as Li Li said, she had forgotten about those matters. If that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?
She realized she had been overthinking it, Chen Rui thought as she rubbed her forehead.
"Please allow the competitors to rest for a moment. The finals will begin in one minute!" The referee announced the final match time within the arena, which displeased many spectators. Although the previous battle hadn’t taken much effort from the mage side, Yuki Chiba and Li Xue had just finished fighting and needed time to rest and adjust.
During this time, viewers watching the live stream began to dig into the identities of these two beauties. Yuki Chiba was somewhat difficult to track down; after all, although she was a wealthy heiress, she was not a public figure and used an online avatar and pen name when writing, resulting in her low recognition.
Li Xue had it worse; within minutes, people had uncovered her identity. As the daughter of a world-renowned wealthy family, it was nearly impossible for her not to be found. Soon after, some idle netizens dug up old stories involving Li Xue and Chen Zijing, leading to Chen Zijing being exposed as well...
Fifteen minutes passed quickly; it was just enough time for casual conversation. Most players who were watching from the Viewing Platform or front row seats wouldn’t choose to give up their spots since such a view was hard to come by.
"Will that move work?" Lord Huan sighed, appearing quite unconfident.
"After all, we don’t really understand this worldview yet. How can we expect everything to go smoothly?" Yu Shiming thought positively and patted his shoulder with a smile. "Anyway, we didn’t expect to make it this far when we signed up. It’s just a game; we should enjoy ourselves."
"Yeah! Enjoyment is what matters!"
The two teams took their positions on stage; at this moment, there wasn’t much suspense left. Li Xue’s shield was practically invincible. Facing such a lineup without using an army to crush them would be impossible for victory. Thus, most players speculated about how long Standard Team could hold out.
The match duration was thirty minutes; if both sides remained on stage without losing any combat power when time was up, it would be considered a draw. Most people guessed that Standard Team would likely choose to stall for time and aim for a draw. However, Guo Luxing, who had the worst mobility among them, stepped onto the stage and overturned the audience's expectations. With him around, avoiding combat wasn’t an option—did they really intend to confront head-on?
Did this group still have some new tricks up their sleeves?
Once the referee announced the start of the match, he dashed out of the arena at lightning speed. He could hardly bear this year’s Martial Arts Tournament anymore; he didn’t know when so many skilled fighters had emerged among humans!
The expected magical attacks did not occur; both sides merely stared silently at each other. Suddenly, a warrior charged forward with his double-handed sword drawn, rapidly closing in on the two mages across from him.
Was he eager to meet his end?
The audience was left bewildered by the warrior's charge. Wasn't this equivalent to giving up the chance for a draw?
Soon, many players noticed the warrior's nickname: Lord Huan, someone familiar yet not on their friend lists.
"He's the one who colluded with the merchant!" Suddenly, an angry player pointed at Lord Huan and shouted. It was only then that many recalled who Lord Huan was, especially the players from Yong'an Region, who looked at the warrior with a mix of amusement and disbelief.
Of course, once his identity was revealed, people's opinions about the warrior's charge changed. How could such a clever person be rushing to his death? This had to be part of some new strategy.
Li Xue and Yuki Chiba clearly sensed something as they exchanged glances and nodded. Li Xue immediately summoned a blue shield.
Lord Huan seemed oblivious to the shield as he charged directly toward them. Just as he approached the blue shield, he swung his sword with incredible speed, striking it straight down onto the shield.
"B!" The sound erupted like an explosion; no human could withstand the force of that strike. Yet, the heavy sword could advance no further, halted by the shield.
The impact sent a wave of sword energy rippling outward, even scraping against the inside of the shield. The two Beautiful Mages clutched their robe hoods as if they had received a severe blow. Unfortunately, in this game world, sword energy held no real power; it was merely a gust of wind—stronger perhaps, but ultimately ineffective.
Lord Huan sighed, retracting his heavy sword. He performed a respectful fist salute to the two before turning back to rejoin his team.
What? Was that it? Was he surrendering? The audience felt a twinge of disappointment, but in the next moment, they realized they were mistaken.
Because Assassin Sister took a step forward.
