Chapter 154: This Strike, Destroys the Sa Batch of Matches
"Ancient Glacial Ice?"
I subconsciously repeated the na; it was obvious I didn't understand this spell.
But soon, my body understood its nature faster than my mind.
When Tan Han threw away the energy-storing alchemy jar in her hand, a terrifying pressure emanated from her body.
A wave of cold air centered on Tan Han sent flying like a shockwave.
Even though the energy shield blocked most of the impact for , the chill penetrated the shield and burrowed into my body like maggots clinging to bone.
That aching, numbing coldness seed to settle inside my body, making it feel as if I had stepped into a snowy plain at that mont.
In that rush, the situation seed to reverse in an instant.
The only thing I could see was the most dazzling spellbook in my Spirit Vision.
Although I knew there were great differences between spellbooks, it was the first ti I had seen one like this.
Was I really too ignorant?
This was the spellbook with a four-digit consumption.
Even just seeing it, I could feel the ancient pressure constantly emanating from it.
Although I didn't know what ancient pressure was, as it pressed down, it continuously created an optical illusion for , as if I were in the depths of an ice field, facing a tall, unknown monster, while I myself was as tiny as a snowflake in the snow.
It's already starting to exert ntal pressure...
I hurriedly held onto my witch hat.
Whether it was for its effect of stabilizing my ntal power or its wide brim shielding from the head-on cold wind, it could give a final shred of security.
I finally understood why Tan Han said the spell wasn't afraid of being interrupted even if it hadn't been released...
How the hell could I interrupt this?
At this mont, the temperature of the entire open-air arena plumted.
The Temporary Solidified Spell at the edge of Arena 1 was now unable to prevent this phenonon from enveloping the entire field.
You must know that the lava domain created by the Fla Lord before had obediently stayed within the arena and not spread out.
Now, even the Temporary Solidified Spell has lost its blocking effect.
"I say, Lina, doesn't the competition have a spellbook intensity limit? Doesn't this count as a foul?"
In the teachers' seating area, seeing this scene, a witch spoke up and asked.
After all, such a terrifying ice and snow phenonon had swept through the entire arena in such a short ti; it might have even affected the area outside.
Many snowflakes drifting from the sky even landed on the witches' heads.
"There is indeed this restriction, but as the academy develops, so regulations must also keep up with the tis."
Lina picked up the milk tea beside her and spoke nonchalantly.
"No, Lina, you're a Transcendent Witch, you can't be influenced by the script, right? You gave Tan Han this convenience? The past restriction on spellbooks was below four digits."
"I can't help it either, the Academy Head has received many guests. Here, it's fine to let you all see."
Lina took out several letters and placed them on the table beside her.
"What is this?"
"Newcor Exchange Competition ah? What is this?"
Many witches gathered around to watch the excitent, but after seeing the contents clearly, many of them showed looks of confusion, but many also understood.
"Tan Han was snatched by our Witch Academy, they had no choice. Those old folks wanted to advance the plot quickly, so they deliberately pushed their academy's newcors into the ga. They also want a piece of the pie of this thing called 'destiny'."
"Sending them over as cannon fodder? They're that willing?"
"Yeah, they think they can get a share of destiny just like that? Tan Han's first blood isn't that easy to take."
"So you let Tan Han use this spell? Wait, you fought for this spell for her, didn't you? This is against the rules."
"But Tan Han is using it right now."
"Tan Han's temperant hasn't been honed yet, setbacks are naturally necessary."
Lina shook her head now, speaking with so helplessness.
"This little fellow nad Yang Yuehan is really interesting, to be able to play Fireball in so many ways. Why don't you guys go look at the experintal logs this little fellow conducted a few days ago? It's quite interesting."
"Oh? Where can we see it?"
"The library, you can see it with high-level clearance."
"Worth a look."
Soon, the focus of the conversation in the witches' seating area shifted towards the experintal logs.
However, so witches still couldn't let go of Tan Han, so they went to talk more with Lina.
After all, Lina was Tan Han's counselor, and her decisions would have a huge impact on Tan Han.
"Lina, what are you thinking now? To raise Tan Han into a weapon of war? A spell turret?"
"Tan Han's potential is great. At this stage, she should be like Yang Yuehan, coming into contact with transcendent laws and learning transcendent knowledge, instead of holding so many spellbooks and magic power sources to dominate the arena."
"But you can't deny that Tan Han is only at the second-tier Imaging level of Spirit Vision right now. Following the script, strengthening her power, gathering the world's destiny to ascend to the top, it's not too late for her to co into contact with those things after she becos a Transcendent Witch."
"In such a hurry, so this is the academy's decision? Afraid of having the pie shared?"
"Who knows, this main world can be opened up, but for transcendent races, four is enough. Our Witch Academy just needs to be the last one."
"Too shocking! The spell phenonon from Arena 1 has spread outside the field! This ans the solidified spell of Arena 1 has also been... Ptooey, a blizzard has started in the arena, the screen is a bit hard to see, we... we'll walk in a... let cast a warming spell first..."
The on-site comntator was also very excited at this mont!
Snowflakes were even pouring into her mouth.
Rumor has it that Tan Han possessed a spell with a magic consumption of over a thousand.
Judging by this phenonon, this was definitely a spell of that level.
One must know that even high-year seniors in the academy might not necessarily possess such a spell.
No one could believe that a newcor possessed such ans.
Of course, the comntator was also silently complaining that the protective asures for this newcor competition were trash, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
So what was to be done?
Just guide others to think that Tan Han was amazing.
"We've moved closer and can see the huge figure in the ice and snow. Let's look at the Earth Vein Information to see what spell Tan Han is using... Ancient Glacial Ice Transformation Spell."
At this mont, the comntator didn't even use "Number One" to refer to her, but directly called her Tan Han.
Perhaps she herself was too excited to notice.
"Just from the na of this spell, we can tell its strength..."
"Hey, student, evacuate quickly, are you trying to get killed by still walking forward? Go back, non-contestants should not enter the arena!"
"Huh? Aren't you the referee teacher for Arena 3? What are you..."
"Evacuating students. This batch of competition matches is temporarily suspended. The academy will bear any personal losses caused."
"Huh? What about Arena 1!"
She was the comntator for Arena 1, and it was still live!
Would she have her resources deducted for encountering sothing like this?
"This accident was caused by Arena 1. You're the comntator for Arena 1? Perfect, go back. I will transfer the comntary authority to the referee of Arena 1."
"Huh? But..."
"You can't comntate on a scene like this. I'm turning it off for you, hurry back."
After saying that, the referee teacher from Arena 3 cut off her comntary authority.
And at this mont, I, in the middle of the blizzard, was enduring a bone-chilling cold.
Tan Han was really right.
This was truly the first ti I had seen such a scene.
I could only rub fireballs together to maintain a certain temperature.
I felt like the little girl selling fireballs right now, about to see my grandmother...
Alright, actually I don't even know what my grandmother looked like.
But this was just a figurative analogy.
"Feel the crush of absolute power!"
A huge voice ca from above, carrying ice and echoes, blowing away the ice and snow between her and .
Only then could I see the other party's appearance with my own eyes.
At this ti, Tan Han was already a towering giant, with ice-blue hard ice forming her attire.
Even so, her human form was still discernible.
Her body was like a deep layer of ice, exuding a deep blue brilliance.
Clad in hard ice, holding a scepter, spike-like remnant ice beca her loyal guards, and icicles hanging high in the sky beca her wings.
With every move, she brought down hail that smashed onto the ground.
This was the transformation spell shaped by thousands of magic powers.
After the initial shock, I also subconsciously started guessing the magic power conversion ratio of this spell.
After all, this thousand-digit consumption was much more high-end than the hundred-digit consumption from before.
This wasn't sothing that could be achieved just by piling up magic power; the spellbook's efficiency in magic power conversion must have improved.
You must know, from my research on Fireball, although this Fireball spell only consud one point of magic power, its conversion rate was also very low, less than 1%.
This was perhaps the reason why this spellbook couldn't withstand a higher conversion ratio, and also because the spell itself was too low-end, its internal structure and ritual were outdated, limiting the conversion rate.
Although I couldn't imagine how terrifying the power of a 100% conversion rate Fireball would be, Tan Han's transformation spell allowed to glimpse a corner of the power of high conversion rate spells.
After all, even if I consud a thousand magic powers to cast a thousand Fireballs, I wouldn't be able to reach this level!
At this mont, I truly felt a sense of envy, envying Tan Han for being able to obtain such a terrifying spellbook so easily.
But there was no helping it, who asked her to prove her own worth, making the academy value her.
If Teacher Ji Niang hadn't given the opportunity, I might still be struggling there now.
Only at this mont could I feel how foolish I was for rejecting Teacher Ji Niang's spellbooks before, but in reality, accepting those spells seed useless, at least at this stage, even with those spells, I couldn't break the current situation.
In the end, the level of resources I had access to was too low.
But if we were to delve into its value, did I have no value?
Was I not worthy of such a tilt in resources!
How could that be possible!
Even though I didn't know much about myself, what Teacher Ji Niang told also made understand that my value was no less than Tan Han's, and even surpassed hers, but I have yet to enjoy the sa treatnt as Tan Han.
Just like now, I could only be chased around by icicles.
At this mont, the ground of the arena had frozen without water.
The ring that was previously in a lava state was now completely frozen.
Icicles were constantly falling, and if I were a step slower, I could be smashed to death on the spot.
Moreover, I also had to distinguish the edge of the arena.
If I went out of the arena's range, I would lose.
Originally, there were solidified spells at the edge of the arena, but now those temporary solidified spells might be malfunctioning.
The referee at the edge of the arena could rush over to terminate the match at any ti, but I also looked at the referee to indicate that it wasn't necessary for now.
However, I seed to vaguely hear the referee teacher saying sothing.
"As Number 1 completes the spell transformation, Number 14 has fallen into a completely passive state. The icicles filling the sky are just one step away from ending the match completely."
"Just now, Number 14 signaled to to continue the match, so we will uphold the spirit of competition and continue with the comntary. I am the referee for Arena 1. Due to force majeure, I will be taking over the comntary from now on..."
"Give up! Little Han, futile struggles will only make your loss more unsightly."
Tan Han, now transford into the Ancient Glacial Ice, holding the Remnant Ice Scepter, swept it in my direction.
"Fighting up to now, I've basically figured out your thods. Before this, I was actually looking forward to a battle with you, but I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. The fact that you could push to this point is enough to prove your strength, but it's not enough!"
"I heard that you have course exemptions just like . When there were no classes, I was practicing spells. For so long, I was using spells. In my free ti, I was constantly challenging opponents in the Dream State device. Little Han, what about you?"
Tan Han's voice ca over, as if it were a speech before the final battle, or as if she were showing off her hard work, because her tone was filled with arrogance.
Perhaps the transformation spell had changed the tone of her speech.
"What are you trying to prove to ? Your hard work?"
I didn't answer her, but asked back.
After all, Tan Han was a rich young lady.
I could naturally understand her having such an arrogant personality, but I didn't agree with it.
But more importantly, I was stalling for ti.
I needed to break the current situation.
If I didn't, I would be waiting for death.
She could wear down to death.
The only thing I could rely on was Spirit Vision.
In the past, Spirit Vision was my burden, but now, it was my most handy tool!
"That look again, Little Han, your eyes are really special. Is it your talent? But this ti I won't give you the chance to pry!"
Tan Han seed to have felt my Spirit Vision's inspection.
Tan Han was very familiar with this gaze, just like during the ditation last ti.
Just like last ti, trigger her talent and sweep away this feeling of being pried into!
Only after that ti did she discover what the talent she had awakened upon enrollnt really was.
Initially, she couldn't know what her talent was; the content on the Earth Vein Information was just gibberish.
She had asked her counselor and the academy, but no one gave an answer.
It wasn't until her talent was passively triggered that ti that she gradually felt what that thing was.
It was a seed like a vertical pupil, enveloped by an unknown power.
And on the Earth Vein Information, its na finally appeared, "Spirit Eye".
The power surrounding the Spirit Eye was very magical, even more terrifying than magic power, but she couldn't actively control it.
But now, as if destined, she had fallen into such a situation.
Especially after eting Little Han's gaze, her Spirit Eye was stimulated, and the restless power seed to want to break free from her body to expel that gaze.
So Tan Han directly followed this sensation and placed it inside the Ancient Glacial Ice Transformation spellbook.
And my Spirit Vision at this mont quickly saw through this Ancient Glacial Ice Transformation spell.
Every energy node derived from the spell was spread across this huge body like a network structure.
I even saw Tan Han's own body, and that was the root of this spellbook.
It was called a transformation spell, but to understand its essence abstractly, it was still just like putting on an outer shell.
Hit the core, awaken the main body, interrupt the energy nodes, and detonate to destroy the transformation spell's ritual.
The thod was very simple, but even if I knew it, I might not be able to do it.
After all, my ans were limited, unless...
I sacrificed my Fireball spellbook to create a more powerful strike.
I had more or less completely figured out the Fireball spellbook, including the part about the efficiency of converting magic power into fire elent.
It's not that I didn't want to use a more powerful Fireball before, but that kind of Fireball was my trump card, the kind used for the final blow.
Who reveals their trump card right at the start?
And the higher the conversion rate, the longer the spellbook's cooldown.
The spellbook itself is a highly integrated product of a spell, so it naturally has a cooldown when used.
Otherwise, continuous high-intensity use would wear down the spellbook itself and could also lead to spell casting failure and so on.
Once a spell fails, it's best if nothing happens.
Otherwise, internal wear and tear of the spellbook is a normal phenonon.
The worst case is the complete destruction of the spellbook, accompanied by a ntal power backlash.
I had already played with one and destroyed it before; it was made into a structural specin of an unfolded spellbook by Teacher Ji Niang.
But just as I was ready to sacrifice this spellbook, an anomaly occurred again.
I didn't know what Tan Han had done, I only felt that from the perspective of Spirit Vision, a huge golden vertical pupil appeared above the Ancient Glacial Ice that Tan Han had transford into!
Isn't this the one I saw when I was ditating with Tan Han back then!
Recalling that scene, I subconsciously shivered, as if it was a suppression of a higher level, making unable to resist.
This thing seed to be my natural counter, and it used absolute suppression to make unable to resist...
Cheating!
This must be cheating!
If she uses this kind of power, wouldn't I be done for?
My Floating World level Spirit Vision t that eye.
Through it, I looked at the deep, starry sky behind it, until I saw nothingness...
Such a scene was naturally not sothing ordinary people could see.
The students in the audience naturally couldn't see such a terrifying scene.
That golden eye carried the Ancient Glacial Ice, as if connecting heaven and earth, dominating Tan Han's body at this mont.
And at this mont, in the teachers' seating area, many witches suddenly stood up.
"The Seed of Destiny has been triggered? How is that possible?"
"There's a bug in the script's track, it actually judged that Tan Han would be defeated in the upcoming clash?"
And among them, the most shocked was Lina.
As Tan Han's counselor, she naturally knew Tan Han inside out, but the Yang Yuehan before her only had four spellbooks in his body, how could he turn this around?
Being able to trigger the Seed of Destiny ans a pivotal plot point has a turning point-like loophole that needs to be "corrected."
The power of plot correction is no joke.
It's like a plot kill in a ga.
It seems reasonable in its presentation, but the target will definitely be killed.
The unreasonable part of it is that the trajectory of the plot's developnt is locked, with no possibility of the opponent winning...
"Tan Han's first blood is being given away just like that?"
Many teachers asked in disbelief.
Of course, the first blood of Tan Han that the witches were talking about was not that kind of first blood, but rather Tan Han, as the protagonist of the plot, having her destiny stripped away and corrected for the first ti due to a loophole.
"Plot kill" is one of the script's self-correction thods.
But for the person being plot-killed, this isn't a bad thing.
Even if they are the protagonist of the plot, they are still a living person, an individual living under the world.
This is a process of "equivalent exchange".
The destiny consud by the Seed of Destiny does not disappear but is transferred to the other party in another form.
This is the so-called "sharing a piece of the pie".
If one's vision and cognition are not high enough to see this level, it's not entirely wrong to say that the person being plot-killed is a failed cannon fodder.
"By the way, why isn't Xi Lan here? Her precious student is fighting, does she know what's going on?"
"Haven't seen her, but I'm still curious, if there was no script interference, how would Number 14 turn this around?"
"You all don't know, do you? The magic power conversion rate of the Fireball spellbook. This Yang Yuehan has already destroyed one spellbook in previous experints. For him, sacrificing another spellbook, it doesn't need to be very high, just reaching a 10% conversion rate is enough to break this transformation."
"Isn't that overestimating it? You think it can be solved in one hit?"
"Yang Yuehan is the first case of an Innate Spirit Visionary, Floating World level Spirit Vision, it's terrifying just thinking about it. Wasn't that Fla Lord before destroyed in one hit just like that?"
"Seems so."
"Huh? Lina, what are you doing?"
The witches saw Lina seem to have thought of sothing, imdiately stood up, and headed towards the arena.
"Your words just now reminded , this Yang Yuehan's Spirit Vision level is Floating World. This ti, clashing with the Seed of Destiny, I'm afraid he might co into contact with information about the World Script Theory. I'm going to prepare a secrecy contract, this kind of information cannot be spread in the main world."
"Indeed, I almost didn't think of this possibility."
And at this mont.
I looked at Tan Han opposite .
The Tan Han at this mont was so unfamiliar, she didn't even say a word to .
That giant golden eye seed to have locked onto , and I was powerless.
"You're cheating, aren't you... Tan Han, then I'll have to go all out!"
But Tan Han did not reply.
In that case, my hand rested on my chest, and a ball of light appeared.
Since I was prepared to sacrifice this spellbook, then let this spellbook unfold outside my body.
Dismantling with ntal power, the protective layer outside the spellbook was completely useless.
Once the outer protection was removed, the internal structure would unfold without reservation.
This thod of using a spellbook only once in its lifeti was now activated by .
I had never been so crazy even in the laboratory.
Just as I was modding this unfolded spellbook, I felt myself abruptly lose consciousness in that instant.
Everything was like a smooth transition, and my consciousness beca clear again.
My surroundings beca completely silent.
There was no blizzard, no arena, and no surrounding audience.
Only a piece of nothingness, and a patch of golden light in the distance.
"Tan Han...?"
I tentatively looked at the figure within that golden light.
"Mmm... Little Han... where... where is this?"
"Huh? Didn't you cause all this? You're asking ?"
"?"
At this mont, Tan Han was also extrely confused.
She only rembered that she had followed her instincts and placed that seed of talent into the spellbook, and then she lost all consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was here.
