Chapter 201 Final Draw

The fire elemental spirit that Duke Dover recommended to Richard came from a ninth-level fire beast, so it was naturally very powerful. After Richard refined this fire elemental spirit, not only did his own fire element be promoted to a high level, his affinity for fire elements tripled, and his overall magic power even caught up with the ninth-level spiritual power, directly becoming a ninth-level wizard.

Moreover, the fire magic cast by Richard was accompanied by the ability of this ninth-level fire monster, which could continuously ignite the surrounding environment and enhance the power of the fire element.

This means that if Richard's opponent is not a fire wizard, Richard can rely on this ability to gain the upper hand.

Except for Richard, the other qualified contestants, even those who were not summoned by the Duke of Dover, had their strength greatly improved after exchanging their points.

At least Richard saw two level seven professionals who have now broken through to level eight.

The venue for the duel tournament finals.

The venue that was originally divided by the magic circle has become a whole again. In the previous preliminary round, most of the contestants were intermediate professionals, so using a small venue was enough.

But now, all the contestants who have qualified are high-level professionals.

Therefore, the duel venue was directly replaced with a formal venue.

The finalists included seventy people from seven provinces, ten wizards from the Kingdom’s Holy Magic Academy, ten warriors from the Kingdom’s Knight Academy, and ten contestants from the royal family.

The first step is to draw lots for groups.

A total of one hundred people are divided into eight groups. They draw lots according to the ranking order of points. Each group has twelve to thirteen people. They compete to advance, and the losers are eliminated directly.

In the end, only the top two players who persist to the end will be selected from each group. The winners of the eight duels will form the top 16 and then draw lots for a duel.

The first to come on stage were Toby and the first place in each province, the first place in the royal family, and the first place in the two colleges.

They are all level nine professionals, and the equipment they carry is no worse than Toby's.

Even the contestants from the two academies were wearing high-end equipment.

In comparison, Richard's equipment seemed a little shabby.

Soon it was Richard's turn to draw lots. As it was already the second half of the entire duel competition, all participants were in one duel arena. There were many legendary masters among the audience. Richard did not hide his strength, and the power of a ninth-level wizard was fully displayed.

"Look, the fifth place from Dover Province is actually a ninth-level wizard. Isn't it said that the contestants from Dover Province are the weakest this time?"

"I guess he just broke through! But the peak level eight wizard is only ranked fifth. It seems that the strength of Dover Province should not be underestimated this time!"

Richard had seen the contestants from the entire Jeff Kingdom before, and it was true that the level of the contestants from Dover Province was relatively low. There were only one or two level seven professionals in other provinces, and even the weakest ones from the two academies and the royal family were level eight professionals.

However, even in the academy and the royal family, there are not many level nine professionals.

Richard's strength as a ninth-level wizard also caused a sensation among many viewers. Coupled with the fact that Richard is less than 20 years old, it can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that he will become a legendary wizard in the future.

Richard was drawn into the fifth group, whose strength was not outstanding among the other groups.

In addition to Richard, the only ninth-level professional in the fifth group is Bennett, a ninth-level assassin from the Eli Province.

Is it the province of Eli again?

It should have nothing to do with Anthony.

Richard also asked Mr. Parker, who said that although both of them were high-level assassins in the Eli Province, Bennett was trained by the Eli family and had no intersection with Anthony.

Richard finally felt relieved and sat quietly in the preparation area, preparing for his own game.

……

"Bennett, you and Richard are in the same group?"

In the dim room, Bennett sat comfortably in a chair, while a legendary assassin opposite him was throwing a dagger in his hand. The dagger flickered in the air and sometimes disappeared.

There was a glimmer of greed in Bennett's eyes. This was a legendary equipment worth hundreds of millions, and also an assassin's weapon. It could be said that it was something that any high-level and legendary assassin coveted.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to deal with Richard?"

Bennett withdrew his gaze from the dagger. He knew that since the other party came to him, he must have something to ask for. Moreover, the only connection between this legendary assassin and Richard was that Richard defeated the other party's incompetent apprentice Anthony.

"It's not impossible, but you have to pay a price, for example..."

The legendary assassin sneered, "Do you think it's possible? You're a ninth-level wizard, and you want my legendary weapon?"

"The most I can do is recommend you the master who made this legendary weapon. As for whether he is willing to help you, that is not my business."

Bennett thought for a moment. Even if he found the master now, he did not have the legendary materials to refine the legendary dagger. Not to mention, he didn't know what price the master would require to make it.

"No, you must tell me the materials needed for this dagger and the price the master requires."

The legendary assassin's eyes were smiling, but his face showed no emotion.

I had heard that Bennett was particularly greedy, and he took the bait right away.

"Okay, but you have to apply this poison potion on your dagger."

The legendary assassin took out a bottle of potion from his space equipment. This was a potion made by his partner, a legendary wizard. Although it was not a legendary poisonous potion, it took a long time to take effect and was very well concealed. Even if someone was poisoned by the potion, the healing wizards would not be able to detect it.

"This highly toxic potion will not kill Richard immediately, and the healing wizard cannot detect it. It is extremely concealed."

Bennett took his potion, but instead of applying it directly on his dagger, he put it into his space equipment.

The schedule for the five groups has not yet been released. If the poison is spread to other contestants, it will be exposed.

"What if I don't meet Richard? Wouldn't your plan go down the drain?"

Bennett asked.

"If you don't meet Richard, the poison potion will be yours."

The legendary assassin fell into the darkness and teleported away.

"He's so confident. It looks like he has controlled the staff who drew the lots for the finals! Maybe he deliberately assigned Richard to my group."

However, when he thought of the legendary dagger, the wisdom in Bennett's eyes was replaced by greed.

Although Richard was already a ninth-level wizard, he did not think that Richard, who came from a small family, had advanced equipment comparable to his own. Coupled with his professional restraint, Bennett was very confident in the battle between him and Richard.
