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 that the Holy Tower of Blue Origin has high hopes for.
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 depends on them.
When Thain and Mark arrived at the challenge platform, fights broke out on several challenge platforms in the challenge platform area of Nuoda.
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 white light film's defense isn't strong enough, but that sometimes battles and casualties happen too quickly.
Even if there is a formal 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, three apprentices have been killed by me on the challenge stage, including a senior apprentice."
"That 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 props are ordinary, and these are just the props that Mark reveals.
Although he obviously has space equipment, it is unknown whether he has other magic items.
After using the necklace to inspire a wall of fire, Mark's magical chants followed.
As a senior apprentice nicknamed "Hand of Fire", Mark's signature magic is a huge hand of fire element.
This hand of flame is somewhat similar to the intermediate magic hand of flame mastered by Thane, but its area is larger, the flame is hotter, and it is more powerful.
It has obviously reached an advanced level of magic and should be the research result of different formal magicians.
The hand of fire, burning with raging flames, shot directly towards Thain.
Covering an area of several meters square, it seemed that it was going to completely engulf Thain.
At this time, Thain had also completed his magic chant.
When the huge flaming hand struck Thain, it did not achieve the results Mark had expected.
A translucent yellow energy shield suddenly appeared in front of Thain, helping Thain block Mark's hand of fire attack.
The yellow light mask appears faster and more secretly, which indicates that the quality of the magic props in Thain's hands is not inferior to Mark's, or even better than his!
And Thain's magic has also taken shape. This is the first time Thain has used it against the enemy since he successfully researched the Eye of the Sun.
A huge blazing ring appeared in front of Thain. As Thain's mantra chanting continued, inside the blazing ring in front of him, there were elemental golden threads that continuously outlined a complex magic array.
Looking from a distance, a lifelike huge golden eye seemed to take shape in front of Thane.
Except for the flame cover of the flame hand and the block of the earth element shield, except for a 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, we will see if he will still be arrogant when he returns to the family." A low female chuckle came from outside the challenge stage.
It was the magician Erin, who had just finished class, who appeared here.
"Well, the senior apprentice named Mark seems to be a junior member of your family, Magician Erin, right?"
"He did encounter a tough problem this time."
"But why is this apprentice's face so raw? I had no impression of him before."
Outside the challenge stage, the yellow-robed official magician on duty said strangely to Irene who walked up to him.
