Chapter 151: An Unexpected Opponent
“How could this be?”
I still couldn't quite believe it, but at this mont, I could even hear the heartless laughter around .
They showed with their expressions of relief that this wasn't fake.
And at this mont, many people at the scene also let out cries, fearing the world wasn't chaotic enough.
Those who recognized the nas naturally knew that the newcor at number 14, nad Yang Yuehan, was the "Hand of God" who had just gone viral on the academy network.
The technique of crushing a Fireball with her bare hand had indeed been an eye-opener for many.
It also caused many senior students who followed the trend to have their hands wrapped in gauze.
For such a newcor to be pitted against the predicted number one in the newcor rankings, this was starting off with a royal flush.
Wasn't a clash of titans the exact drama the audience loved to see the most?
And at this ti, in a spot in the audience seats, Bai Yu also stood up with the excited crowd, but unlike the excited expressions around her, Bai Yu's expression was extrely grave.
How could she not know Tan Han's na?
A core character of the script, getting involved with her would definitely drag one into the script.
She hadn't expected all this to happen so abruptly.
Didn't this an her previous efforts were all for nothing?
At this mont, she felt her own powerlessness, but she was even more worried about Little Han's safety.
That Tan Han was a person who possessed a spellbook with a four-digit consumption.
Although she only had a three-digit magic power source, the power of the three-digit consumption spellbook she possessed was also terrifying.
What could Little Han, with only a single-digit consumption spellbook, use to fight back?
Even though she knew Little Han had a protective spell, but…
It couldn't block it at all!
The disparity in the magnitude of energy consumption was right there, how could she turn the tables?
But at this mont, Bai Yu could only worry anxiously, and could even only pray…
This was a competition, she couldn't interfere, not to ntion there were so many transcendent witch teachers here, they naturally wouldn't let her cause trouble.
In such a surefire kill situation, if she wanted to break away from the script…
The only possibility was to defeat Tan Han, break the script's event node, and create a turning point and loophole in the script…
But was it possible?
It wasn't that Bai Yu had no confidence in Little Han, but that she didn't believe in ethereal miracles.
Even sothing like a miracle was part of the script.
And just as Bai Yu was worrying anxiously, two people not far away were also very anxious.
“What's going on? Little Tan and Little Han ran into each other?”
“It must be a setup! This is targeted!”
“Alright, stop it with the targeting. Who would be so bored as to target Little Han.”
These two were, of course, Ying Shiqian and Tang Yihan from the Bakery Club.
They had originally co to cheer for Little Han, but they didn't expect to encounter this situation.
“So what do we do now? Who do we support?”
“Of course we support Little Han, you idiot! Little Tan has the Shop Manager's support.”
“Oh right, speaking of which, where is the Shop Manager?”
“How would I know?”
Such heated discussions naturally ignited the passion of the scene once again.
It was obvious that most people couldn't wait any longer.
Many people were shouting Tan Han's na loudly.
After all, as number 1, Tan Han was naturally the first to enter the arena.
The arena numbers were assigned, and what followed was the thrilling battle!
Although both opponents were newcors and the fight might not be very aesthetic, under the blessing of a competition of this scale, it was still very eye-catching.
Even if it was just chickens pecking at each other, in this atmosphere, it could still make people scream with excitent.
And at this mont, in the teachers' seating area, many teachers were also discussing in low voices.
Their conversations were even shielded from the students.
After all, so things couldn't be revealed to students.
“This Yang Yuehan seems a bit familiar. Is she from the class Xi Lan is in charge of?”
“I think so. She's been trending quite a bit on the academy network recently.”
“Catching a fireball with her bare hand? Hey, I ask you, could you do that when you were a newcor?”
“Why are you asking that? Of course I couldn't. I don't know where Xi Lan found such a spellbook.”
“You guys are so out of the loop.”
“That Yang Yuehan was recruited by Xi Lan, an Innate Spirit Visionary.”
“Huh? So that's her? She doesn't look any different from an ordinary person? Is she really an Innate Spirit Visionary? But what does this have to do with what we were just talking about?”
“Hehe, didn't Xi Lan form a research group? That group only has Xi Lan and this newcor. Recently, Xi Lan's group has been continuously producing various experintal data and papers, which have been archived by the academy library with high-level permissions.”
“Huh? Is there such a thing?”
“That's why I said you guys are out of the loop. You don't care about things like this, are your heads full of nothing but brute force?”
“Those achievents are truths that can only be glimpsed with high-level Spirit Vision, so there's no mistake. Every one of you is already a transcendent witch, yet you struggle so much to create a spellbook. She can modify a spellbook right after enrolling. Look at the gap, recognize your own limitations.”
“Tch As if you know so much.”
“By the way, for the Newcor Competition to be so exciting right from the start, could it be that soone pulled so strings behind the scenes?”
“Go ask Lina, she should know.”
“I would never do sothing like pulling strings behind the scenes, don't slander .”
At this mont, the ntioned Lina also walked over and joined the chat.
“Eh? Big Sis Lina, why are you here?”
“My business is done, so of course I ca over. You guys continue your chat. What were you talking about just now? Let declare beforehand that I really did not pull any strings, it was a matter of luck.”
Lina casually found an empty seat and sat down, not caring whose seat it was.
“A matter of luck? I think it's destiny, wasn't it script interference?”
At this point, as soon as the witches ntioned the script, they all showed gossipy expressions.
The matter of the script was an open secret for transcendent-level witches.
Of course, the sa was true for other transcendent academies.
On the competition grounds at this ti.
The massive Earth Vein Operating System in the sky projected the nas and photos of the contestants above each divided arena.
A fiery background plus a full-body portrait of the contestant collided at this mont, indicating that what followed would be a fierce battle between these two.
Before the start of this battle, the contestants still had so ti to make preparations and adjust their ntality.
The huge arena ground was divided into more than twenty battlegrounds.
Even so, each ground occupied a very large area, and there were even temporarily solidified protective spells around the grounds to ensure they wouldn't interfere with adjacent arenas and the audience seats.
“Little Han… Yang Yuehan, let's go. Our battle has begun.”
At this ti, Tan Han saw that I was still in a daze and spoke to .
“Mm.”
I adjusted my witch hat and followed her towards the number one arena in the very center.
I didn't know how these arenas were ordered.
Why was number one in the very center?
Complaining was one thing, but I couldn't delay the main business.
The divided arena had a certain height difference from the ground, but this stone challenge platform was a kind of spell effect.
That made sense, otherwise, truly laying stones would be too much effort, and it would be difficult to repair if damaged.
I took a stride and stepped onto this competition platform.
Tan Han also leaped up and stood opposite on the other side.
At this mont, Tan Han was not wearing the Witch Four-Piece Set issued upon enrollnt, and even the magic wand in her hand was no ordinary item.
The magic wand in her hand looked very exquisite.
It was a short wand just like mine, very small and delicate in her hand.
“I didn't expect our next chat would be in a scene like this. Since we last parted, I have many things I want to know. Won't you tell about them?”
“This occasion… probably isn't very suitable, right?”
I glanced around at the surroundings, and at the referee assigned to our arena.
This referee was a transcendent witch.
The terrifying crushing pressure that transcended life levels made subconsciously not dare to use Spirit Vision to probe her.
However, while we were talking here, the audience seats, which were very far away, couldn't hear what we were saying.
And the huge light screen in the sky broadcasted every move here faithfully, but without sound.
It would be very noisy if there was sound.
After all, with so many arenas at once, broadcasting all the sounds would be very chaotic.
This would depend on the comntary skills of the comntator during the live broadcast.
“It is indeed not very suitable. Then let's make a bet, based on the outco of this duel. If I win, you tell the whole story, of course, when we are off the stage.”
“Then what if I win?”
I asked.
“Na any request. If you win, it will be enough to prove many things, but the premise is that you can win.”
Tan Han's tone was full of confidence, but she did not mock the possibility I raised.
After all, she was the one who proposed the bet first, so naturally, in principle, it had to be sowhat fair.
But from the bottom of her heart, she was certain of victory.
The monopoly on spellbooks within transcendent academies was very serious.
Perhaps so lesser spellbooks were widely circulated, but spellbooks of higher intensity were not sothing that could be bought with so-called money.
Starting from spellbooks with three-digit consumption, their value grew exponentially.
Even many senior students did not possess such spells.
It was very difficult for a normal student to obtain them.
Only the academy would produce such spellbooks to be given out as prizes.
For example, in this Newcor Competition, the top ten students all had spellbook rewards, as well as magic power sources and so on, and this spellbook also reached a three-digit consumption.
Of course, the spellbook was only one of the main prizes.
The main thing was the product after clearing the Earth Vein Stagnation.
The higher the ranking, the more valuable the items obtained.
One had to know that the spellbooks used by most senior students in battles only consud a few or a few dozen points of magic power.
The power she now wielded, even if she just stood still and perford simple spell output, put her in an invincible position, but she certainly would not be so arrogant.
She would go all out in every battle.
She would not make such a low-level mistake.
“Mm…”
I didn't care about what Tan Han said.
No matter how much was promised, it was only valid after winning.
I didn't know if I would win, but I would do my best.
“You two, are you ready?”
The teacher acting as the referee at the side also spoke up.
At this mont, she was controlling the Earth Vein Operating System.
Besides being a referee, she was also the director of this arena, adjusting the auto-following cara angles and so on.
In fact, for a transcendent witch, this kind of multi-threaded operation was not too difficult.
“Ready.”
I held my magic wand, keeping my ntal power in a state ready to be activated at any ti, ensuring I could assu a combat stance the instant the match began.
The Witch Four-Piece Set effect, the wrist guard effect, the protective spell buff, and preparations for a possible preemptive sneak attack, and so on.
And Tan Han said that she was ready at the sa ti as .
Everything was ready.
The teacher acting as the referee also beca very serious.
This was the first match of the Newcor Competition, and it was the C-position arena, so naturally, no accidents could occur.
“Then the match begins!”
