Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 52: Eastern School x Northern School(1)

"The first match will be between Yao Yanting and Xiao Zexi" The judge called, he was one of the university's teachers.

Yao Yanting was the student, who was opposing Liu Yang inside the principal's office, Xiao Zexi was a handsome-looking young man, but his cold aura kept him from the others.

"Big sister, is that student from your clan?" Liu Yang asked curiously.

"Yes, he is the youngest son of one of the clan elders and one of the most prominent members of the younger generation. His strong point is defense and catching opponents off guard. Because of his earth element, he can hide below and move across the ground and using its dark element, it hides his presence. Due to the combination of these two elements, he can catch low guard opponents, he always won his fights that way. This fight will end quickly. "Xiao Mei spoke a little about Xiao Zexi.

"Does he have any weaknesses?" Liu Yang asked he knew everyone had a weakness.

"Yes, he is arrogant and always uses the same strategy, because he thinks he will always win that way, at least until a few days ago it was always like that. No one in the clan could find a way to stop his combination of the earth and the shadow element. As long as no one can't find a way to beat his strategy, he will remain invincible. "

"Big sister, you're wrong. His strategy is flawed and predictable. He is only invincible because he has not yet found an opponent that capable. Big sister, tell me, has he ever fought an advanced mage?" Liu Xia asked her, winning Xiao Zexi was a piece of cake.

"Yes, his opponents have always been on the same level as him or below. Liu Xia, do you have any way to defeat him? "Xiao Mei realized that Liu Xia had some way of defeating Xiao Zexi.

"Big sister, pay attention to the fight first, then I say," Liu Xia said vaguely, she looked at the two students in the arena casually. Xiao Mei and Song Jia were watching also looked into the arena to see if they could see anything.

They entered the arena and looked at each other solemnly. For them to be there, they had to pass a rigorous selection test, so neither dared to underestimate the other.

"I will speak the rules, you cannot fatally injure the opponent nor kill the opponent. Whoever breaks these two rules will be banned from competitions for three years. "The judge solemnly said, he did not want to see anyone killing each other.

"Yes," Both students agreed.

"Get ready You can start." The judge turned away.

"Lightning!! Wrath of thunder !!! "Yao Yanting began to cast his spells quickly, he cast a primary and secondary spell of the thunder element. Several yellow lights flashed around his body quickly, thunder was already forming around his.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Zexi became serious, while fighting an advanced thunder mage needed caution, as his attacks were very powerful.

"Earth Armor !!" Xiao Zexi turned the surrounding terrain into a large earth shell, he would expect his opponent to strike first with the power of thunder. The shell completely covered Xiao Zexi.

The two magic circles appeared above Xiao Zexi before two mighty yellow and gold thunders fell upon the stone shell.

The two did not need to close their eyes to cast the spells, as they had specialized training in this subject, but could not yet fully master the use of full power in this way.

Boooom !!!!!!!!! Boooom !!!!!!!!!

Two extremely loud explosions were heard as the two thunder hit the target. A lot of dust was raised, half of the arena was covered.

"Germinate !!" Yao Yanting shouted. Around him, some trees started to grow, the place turned into a small forest. That was a kind of barrier. The germinating ability was the advanced level ability of the wood element.

After creating the trees, Yao Yanting was looking around solemnly, he solemnly. The dust had not yet settled, and he could not let his guard down.

The dust slowly subsided until the stone shell appeared, it was completely broken and in pieces, but there was no sign of Xiao Zexi.

(Where did he go? According to the information I received, this Xiao Zexi has the element of dark and earth. He always creates an earth shield to hide and then use the power of the dark element to make a surprise attack. I created these trees to make this surprise attack difficult, but where is he?) Yan Yanting was trying to imagine where Xiao Zexi will appear.

(Right? Left? Front? Back?) He was sweating from the pressure, Yao Yanting was getting nervous because he couldn't figure out where his enemy would appear. Sweat began to run down his face.

The silence was hanging over the arena, the pressure was too great.

A few seconds later

Yan Yaoting couldn't stand the pressure, his mind was getting weak, he blinked his eyes momentarily. But in that short time, something amazing happened.

Xiao Zexi who could not be seen anywhere suddenly appeared behind Yao Yanting, he had been there for a long time waiting for a small fault of Yao Yanting.

"You lost" Xiao Zexi's cold voice echoed in Yao Yanting's ear, every word like a bomb in his ears. He was not believing what just happened.

"You ..." Before Yao Yanting could finish speaking, he was knocked out by Xiao Zexi.

"Xiao Zexi from the North School wins this match," The judge said after confirming that Yao Yanting passed out.

The East School students were shocked when they saw Yao Yanting easily lose to Xiao Zexi. As a student in class A, they knew how strong he is, but he still lost to a rival school student.

The Northern School students had smiles on their faces, to them it looked like it was already something expected of one of the best students in the school.

In the stands where the teachers and principals of the other schools and universities were, they were talking about the fight.

"This boy named Xiao Zexi is interesting, his tactic fully explores his two elements. Although it is a good tactic, it still has many flaws, he is lucky that his opponent is just an advanced mage with no combat experience, otherwise, he would have lost the moment he created the stone shell. "One of the teachers commented, he was versatile in the earth element and knew the strengths and weaknesses of his element.

"According to the information I received, this young man named Xiao Zexi always used this same tactic to win his clan fights and school disputes, and he always won. This was because his opponent does not know his weakness, otherwise, he would have lost very quickly. "

"Do any of you think someone the same age as Xiao Zexi can see his weakness?"

"This is a little difficult unless they use some magic equipment. Since this is just a small dispute, none of them are using equipment, they want to save for the main competition in two months. "

"Big sister, what did you understand when you saw this fight?" Liu Xia asked Xiao Mei after the fight was over.

"Liu Xia, how do you understand something about this fight?" Xiao Mei spoke with a confused expression. Song Jia, who was by her side, understood Liu Xia's question, she realized the flaws in the technique used by Xiao Zexi, but she didn't speak the answer.

"Big sister, if you can't understand Xiao Zexi's tactics, you can hardly beat him in a fight. Big sister, I'll give you a tip, can you detect the magical energy of the three elements? When did you notice? "

"Liu Xia, I was able to detect the element of thunder when Yao Yanting cast his two spells, the earth element when Xiao Zexi cast his magic, after which was when he appeared again after leaving the dark element's cloaking." Xiao Mei told what she felt.

"Big sister, it looks like you still need to train your magical energy detection. Try to feel it. "Liu Xia raised her palm, her five fingers were apart, several black lights appeared, bright light and the light dimmed until she could see nothing. The black light was magical energy, but the amount was smaller as the light diminished.

Xiao Mei looked at the five lights on Liu Xia's fingers, she closed her eyes to try to feel the magical energy.

A few seconds later

"Liu Xia, I could only feel the magic power in those four, but on this last finger, is there magic energy in it? Because I couldn't feel anything. "Xiao Mei said what she found, but at the same time, she was shocked by how difficult she was to feel the elements.

"Big sister, this last finger has a minimal amount of magical energy, although it doesn't look like it, it still has magical energy. Now try again. "Liu Xia did the same thing as before, but there was something different this time. Xiao Mei closed her eyes to try to analyze the lights on Liu Xia's fingers again.

"Liu Xia, how did you do that? I couldn't feel anything this time. "Xiao Mei was shocked by what just happened, she was seeing the magical energy, but she couldn't feel anything. Even Song Jia was shocked by this, as a Great Mage, she had more experience than Xiao Mei, but she still had some difficulties to feel the magical energy in the first three fingers, but the last two was impossible for her to detect anything.

"This is the power of my dark element, it can hide the presence of magical energy, but not entirely. I believe sister Song could detect the magic energy, right? "

"Yes, it was a little difficult, I got it after concentrating a little. But the last two fingers, I couldn't. "

"Big sister, do you understand? To defeat Xiao Zexi is very easy, just feel the magical energy that covers his body and find out his location. It always takes a while to win, right? "

"Yes, for some reason, he always waited a few seconds before finishing his opponents. Is this for any hidden reason? "

"Big sister, like someone from the younger generation, he's arrogant. He wants to put pressure on his opponent by staying hidden for a while before appearing, this is to try to catch the opponent off guard. As long as you stay focused and feel his magical energy, you can win the fight. "

"So I just need to hide the fact that I figure out his location and catch him off guard?"

"Yes, you can ask sister Song for help with your training."

"Song Jia, can you do this?"

"Yes, but my mastery is not as strong as that of younger sister Liu Xia"

"Alright, that helps a lot"
