Before leaving the Cold Ice Magic Mirror room, Locke called over Witch Mason and the other two. He had already paid, so it could be used for 24 hours.
But he still had to compete today, so to avoid wasting money and opportunity, he simply let Witch Mason and the others co use this Cold Ice Magic Mirror room.
Witch Mason appeared very happy, because this ti they were spending Locke's money. Although these thirty thousand could all be reimbursed through the project fund, getting it for free still felt nice.
Witch Mason entered first and greeted Locke, "Team Leader, thank you very much. Our three projects indeed still need the Cold Ice Magic Mirror."
Locke nodded slightly. After greeting them, he summoned a cloud whale and headed to the arena tournant.
He first participated in two matches and won.
Before the fourth match in the afternoon began, he watched the entire battle between Wizard Antoine and Witch Preston.
Although Witch Preston's combat power was very strong, transforming into a white dragon body and using Blood Beast Body to enhance her physical functions, becoming invincible in close combat, Antoine used an even more exaggerated 21 magical artifacts.
The Ten Rings' elental system continuously unleashed ten types of powerful elental magic attacks, one magic spell after another. That was already beyond the level ordinary wizards could achieve.
But what was even more terrifying was that he summoned at least five elental magic mirrors, and also used Wind-Thunder Twin Wheels bronze magical artifacts, as well as a wand, a wizard sword, a wizard robe, and a substitute witch porcelain.
He used the death-substitute witch porcelain to avoid the fatal attack of the white dragon's breath that Witch Preston had transford into using the [Temporarily Switch Main Body] bloodline magic universal spell. Then, using the remaining magical artifacts, he concentrated his attacks, causing Witch Preston, who hadn't fully controlled her bloodline, to suffer bloodline backlash again.
Witch Preston appeared beside the arena in a sorry state.
Her expression was grim.
Antoine had obviously practiced tactics targeting her. When she fought Locke last ti, she had exposed too many trump cards.
Wizard battles were battles of information.
In a short period of ti, she couldn't adjust her frontal combat tactics centered on her white dragon body, so she was defeated by Antoine using substitute witch porcelain to dodge her most powerful frontal attack.
As a result, she ended up losing this Spell Combat Tournant match.
Witch Preston, in a very bad mood, cursed off the talent scout wizard who wanted to recruit her to participate in the spell combat league.
She walked toward Locke and said, "Little Brother Locke, fortunately I lost to you yesterday. Because after today's battle, I can only tell you that Antoine hasn't used his full strength yet."
"He can actually use so many magical artifacts simultaneously, and not mindlessly either. He must be an alchemist! And he possesses excellent object control thods."
"But even all that aside, the problem is, why is his total magic pressure so high?"
Witch Preston turned to look at Arena No. 1, where Antoine looked over with a mocking expression, mouthing the words "trash."
Witch Preston imdiately flew into a rage. In her entire life, she had never suffered such a great insult.
As a dragon blood wizard of Golden Crown Mountain, she was one of the First Circle witches with the greatest background in Cloud Marsh Wetland.
Wherever she went, others respected her.
Even if she was slightly in the wrong, they would tolerate her and accommodate her.
Witch Preston quickly used the advanced ditation thod Dragon Claw ditation thod, entering the No-Thought state to suppress her anger.
Her anger ca quickly and went quickly.
Witch Preston ignored Antoine's provocation toward her and said to Locke, "Little Brother Locke, we mustn't let him affect our mindset. By the way, this competition depends on you. Currently, we need to defend Golden Crown Mountain's top three throne, and you need to defeat that genius builder wizard from Kungoding who has only lost once so far due to not participating in a match."
"His current points are really too high. Soone must make him lose at least once, otherwise he'll be third place, surpassing and Witch Juliana, surpassing Witch Sera, and other wizards from our Golden Crown Mountain."
"Besides that, you also need to defend the championship for our Academic Committee."
A trace of apology flashed in Witch Preston's eyes, "Sorry, Locke. All of this was originally my responsibility, but now you have to handle it."
"Unfortunately, I'm not as strong as I thought I was. I need to ask my parents what exactly happened. Why, despite being so powerful, are there still things I cannot do?"
"What I can tell you is what I forced Antoine to reveal during battle. Also, that magic pressure of his seems to be his own, different from the external magic pressure amplification you used before, and also different from the natal witch porcelain magic pressure amplification used by those wizards from Magic Pivot City."
"Be extrely careful. I need to go report the situation to my teacher. Next ti you fight him, I'll co cheer you on, Little Brother Locke."
Witch Preston summoned a carriage pulled by a dragon horse dragon beast, walked into it, and the dragon horse dragon beast raised its hooves. Then it drove the carriage into the air and quickly left.
When Locke turned around, he was surprised to see Antoine walking toward him.
Antoine looked him up and down, "So you're Locke Augustine? Hmm... your magic is passable, about the sa as Witch Preston. But the equipnt you use is too trashy."
"Trying to fight with that scrap tal? Simply laughable."
Antoine said, "Just handle that wizard from Kungoding Academy for . That wizard has good close combat ability and powerful long-range magic too. But he doesn't seem good at aerial combat. Be careful not to fail. Kungoding Academy has so tricks. If you lose, I'll have to represent Golden Crown Mountain and deal with him myself."
"I'm too lazy to waste ti on trash like you."
"If soone from Kungoding Academy enters the top five, I'll be extrely uncomfortable. Trash should stay where trash belongs!"
Locke looked at Antoine. As the two passed each other, Locke suddenly spoke, "Wizard Antoine, have you heard a story? A wolf pretended to be a dog for so long that when he left the pack, he found he still retained the dog's habits."
Wizard Antoine paused, then turned back, frowning, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Before he walked away, Locke said, "I'll ensure he loses one match, so his points return to a normal balance with Witch Juliana, Witch Sera, and Witch Preston."
"That way, they'll all have lost two matches. Tomorrow, whether the wizard from Kungoding Academy can enter the top five will depend entirely on their own ability."
Wizard Antoine didn't look back, "That's up to you. What does it have to do with ?"
...
On Arena No. 1, Wizard Mike, who usually went bare-chested, rarely wore a magic robe.
The surface material of this magic robe was incredibly smooth, as if woven from flowing spring water.
Seeing this scene, Locke felt sowhat surprised, "A Spring Water Silkworm magic robe? This kind of magic robe has special resistance to gold magic. It's woven from special gold-eating water silkworm silk."
Locke said, "I didn't expect that a builder like you would need to purchase this kind of magic robe."
Wizard Mike smiled, "It's worth three hundred thousand magic stones!"
"Your plant magic is indeed formidable. Without targeting it specifically, I truly have no confidence. That's plant magic that can contend with dragon bodies."
"Hard to believe that an ordinary sea gold sand can unleash such great power in your hands."
Many wizards beside Arena No. 1 heard this and nodded one after another.
Locke had recently used sea gold sand continuously in battle. Besides successfully promoting it, he had also earned the title of Sea Gold Sand Master.
Sea Gold Sand itself was just an ordinary First Circle magical plant originating from the Twilight Border.
Generally, wizards would give up on this magical plant after reaching the First Circle liquefaction stage at most, because it was inherently too weak. Its damage conversion efficiency for magic pressure couldn't keep up with a wizard's progress.
But Locke, through three consecutive enhancents, had made it shine even in this Spell Combat Tournant where a group of the strongest First Circle wizards competed.
This truly deserved the wizards' amazent.
Many wizards believed that in his research on sea gold sand, Locke had reached an unprecedented height among First Circle wizards in Cloud Marsh Wetland.
Perhaps he would very likely be the most powerful sea gold sand user for a long ti to co.
Locke raised his eyebrows and summoned two sea gold sands. Imdiately, two dark purple pagodas descended, floating in mid-air, releasing strange magic pressure in all directions.
As soon as the two magical plants appeared, they spontaneously released Tyrant Domain. At the sa ti, Tyrant Domain intertwined with abyssal energy and began constructing spells within the domain.
A trace of caution flashed in Wizard Mike's eyes. Tyrant Domain rubbed against the magic robe on his body, creating spell sparks. Although the Spring Water Silkworm magic robe prevented it from deconstructing the magical power on him, it still suppressed half his strength.
The Abyssal Devourer Body Sea Gold Sand before him seed to be the endpoint of all evolutionary directions.
So-called convergent evolution ant that the sea gold sand used Tyrant Domain to forcibly make nearby magical plants and magical creatures evolve in the sa direction as it, forming the most favorable growth environnt and ecological environnt for the Tyrant Sea Gold Sand.
"Such a domineering magical plant," Wizard Mike chanted a spell and simultaneously shouted, stomping his foot. Imdiately, a fortress rose from the Cloud Arena.
Wizard Mike shouted, "But my spell's hardness surpasses yours. There's no ultimate evolutionary direction. My buildings are eternal."
From within the fortress, stone pillars completely ignored Locke's Tyrant Domain and attacked him.
Locke's eyes flickered. Tyrant Domain couldn't affect dead objects.
Naturally, the abyssal energy combined with Tyrant Domain wouldn't affect these stone pillars attacking him.
The next mont, a Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow appeared behind Locke, and he used Plant Mimicry: Green Dragon.
Locke flew into the air, rapidly dodging and weaving in the sky, avoiding one stone pillar attack after another from within the fortress.
He suddenly pulled back distance, and the two sea gold sands also rose following behind Locke.
Wizard Mike was stunned for a mont, because as Locke actively flew to high altitude, the stone pillars from his fortress city couldn't keep up with Locke.
"Want to fight in aerial combat?"
"Don't even think about it. If you fly up, I'll raise the earth into the air."
Wizard Mike chanted a spell. Imdiately, the entire fortress floated up, following Locke upward.
When Locke flew up one hundred ters, the fortress city floated up one hundred ters.
Wizard Mike laughed heartily, "Augustine, co down, let's compare hardness! You can't escape."
The wizards beside the arena all looked up. At this mont, the two had risen to about three thousand ters above the Cloud Arena.
Locke seed not to hear and continued flying upward.
An Evocation School earth elental magic sub-direction wizard wanting to compete with him on who could fly higher in the sky.
Simply laughable.
Indeed, as they climbed to five thousand ters!
The fortress's ascent speed beca slower and slower.
Wizard Mike's expression changed slightly. Using magic to raise the Kungoding Star Fort five thousand ters was actually already his limit.
Ordinary builders didn't have this kind of ability.
Actually, he had secretly taken out a floating city core from his star realm ring and used an alchemical item to enhance this star fort. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to fly this high.
But the higher they went, the more sparse the earth elental particles beca.
This was already the limit.
Wizard Mike thought, "I can't let him keep flying like this. He has a flying magical plant. Who knows how many thousand ters he can climb? If he goes to twenty thousand ters in the sky, should I, as a builder, follow him up there?"
"Create a hyperstructure ceiling to restrict the surrounding area."
The next mont, two fern spears descended from the sky.
'Bang~'
If Wizard Mike hadn't summoned the six gates of the star fort in ti, positioning them in front of him, he would have been knocked out of the arena on the spot.
This was the First Circle plant magic: Flowing Gold Fern Spear.
But after Locke's several enhancents, it had reached a height that this magic originally didn't belong to.
The next mont, the two sea gold sands transford from fern spear form to pagoda form, then released a large amount of golden spore powder.
Golden Sand Torrent!
Waves of sand bypassed the six heavy fortress gates and attacked Wizard Mike hiding behind.
Wizard Mike's expression changed slightly. Standing on the fortress ground, as a builder, as long as he stood within his buildings, he was invincible.
He slapped the ground with one hand. Imdiately, a watchtower rose from the ground, resisting Locke's magic.
Builders were absolutely the wizards with the strongest defensive abilities.
The next mont, Locke in the sky snapped his fingers. The spore powder from the two sea gold sands gathered together, forming a finger that attacked Wizard Mike.
First Circle plant magic: Flowing Gold Finger!
Also the most powerful magic of Scorching Gold Sand Flow.
This forr ultimate move could now be used as a small move by Locke with his magic pressure.
The continuous offensive and defensive exchanges were dizzying. The True Sight Orb floating in mid-air hurriedly fild it.
Locke also seized the advantage that plant wizards' casting speed was relatively fast, constantly using speed to counter slowness, aerial combat to counter ground combat.
Wizard Mike quickly bent down, slapping his left hand toward the ground. Imdiately, he hid himself within this Kungoding Star Fort. With a 'bang,' Flowing Gold Finger collided with the star fort.
Locke watched this scene, frowning. Builders generally used earth elental magic. If it were ordinary earth elental magic, being so clumsy, it naturally wouldn't be very useful.
But builders' earth elental magic could resist enemies by constructing a series of defensive fortifications.
And Wizard Mike before him was absolutely a master among them.
This star fort itself possessed powerful defensive capabilities, and every brick within it was his earth elental magic. All the buildings inside were his ans of attacking.
Moreover, many components had special spell models.
For instance, the six gates that could stack together to defend against an enemy's ultimate move or separate to defend against enemy spells seed to be an independent builder magic called Heavy Rock Gate.
The watchtower that blocked his Golden Sand Torrent was a Guardian Watchtower, with an extrely complex spell model.
And the builder's originally slow casting speed seed to be maximally compensated by this Kungoding Star Fort.
"Every component inside is an earth elental magic miracle designed with blueprints. Most fortress components exist in his star realm ring, just waiting to be summoned when facing enemies, combining with the earth elental power he temporarily gathers to descend as a star fort."
Locke saw six turrets rise from the six corners of the star fort. As Wizard Mike chanted spells, the six turrets gathered earth elental energy and fired at Locke, highly concentrated magical energy in super-gravity rock cannons.
Those rock cannonballs continuously shot toward the sky, tearing through the air wherever they passed.
Intense airflow continued.
Locke looked at the star fort where he had created a breach, "So to defeat you, I need to completely break through this fortress?"
Wizard Mike's voice erged from within the fortress, "Locke, that's right. To defeat , you must defeat this First Circle combination magic that Kungoding Building Materials Academy has researched with all their efforts—the Kungoding Star Fort!"
As he chanted the spell, the drawbridge of the star fort's walls suddenly displayed spell runes. A builder magic completed, and a massive drawbridge ford from gathered earth elents flew toward Locke, seemingly with auto-tracking.
No matter how Locke dodged, he couldn't escape the drawbridge's lock-on.
Continuous super-heavy rock cannons followed behind Locke, attacking him.
Locke quickly dodged those rock cannons. Fortunately, the current altitude was too high, causing the star fort's attack accuracy to severely decline.
Locke said, "This star fort should use wizard tower technology. There's probably an elental fission pool inside."
"Fighting a builder who has deployed their buildings is very troubleso. However, wizard towers are very complex, so this star fort doesn't have the wizard tower effect of amplifying wizard magic attack power."
Locke saw that in the sky, without him noticing, Wizard Mike had summoned brick after brick, forming a rectangular sky cover, seemingly to restrict his altitude.
Locke smiled coldly. The two dark green pagodas behind him suddenly turned golden-green. Imdiately, Flowing Gold Fingers appeared around Locke simultaneously.
At this point, what was originally the ultimate move of Scorching Gold Sand Flow could now be fired continuously by Locke!
Flowing Gold Fingers shot toward the fortress one after another.
The six gates descended, stacking again to block Locke's attacks. However, under the assault of these ten Flowing Gold Fingers, the six gates retreated step by step, developing breaches.
Finally, as the last gate developed a large opening, two Flowing Gold Fingers fell toward the star fort like teors.
At this mont, the First Circle wizards watching were shocked by this scene.
The battle between the two was different from Locke's battle with Witch Preston. When Witch Preston transford into white dragon body, her power level increased. Her body was protected by Immortal Dragon Scales, and the bloodline magic Magic Energy Body further strengthened her surface defensive abilities, so Locke didn't dare use conventional magic.
This ti, however, he engaged in massive conventional magic bombardnt with Wizard Mike.
The two combat thods were equally good, only differing in suitability.
But fighting this way certainly made for a more spectacular scene.
Moreover, quite a few Second Circle wizard audience mbers had already comnted that without Grand Magic, for the two to reach this level in the conventional magic field was already very good.
Many ordinary Second Circle wizards, if they suppressed their magic pressure and didn't use Grand Magic, only using conventional magic, wouldn't be much better than these two. Their advantage was limited.
Of course, Second Circle wizards' stats and Grand Magic were most important.
The two currently definitely still fell far short.
At this mont in the sky, Locke used massive amounts of golden sand heavy cannons to bombard the super-gravity rock cannons fired from the star fort's six corners.
The next mont, before that drawbridge hit him, Locke summoned a Golden Eye Grass. Imdiately, the eye grass collided with the drawbridge.
It made a trendous sound.
The eye grass was damaged.
Locke took the opportunity to drop thirty Diamond Succulents toward the star fort, while simultaneously using an ordinary Full Moon Growth and a Sa Qi Connected Branch. At that mont, ten Diamond Succulents' qi connected with each other. Simultaneously, catalyzed by Full Moon Growth, they instantly reached their ultimate sublimation, blooming in a brief mont of glory.
Then, a massive light explosion appeared.
A mushroom cloud ford.
The watchtower that blocked the light explosion was directly blown to pieces.
The entire star fort shook.
Under Locke's combination attack of Diamond Succulent Sa Qi Connected Branch Full Moon Growth, an incomparable light explosion mushroom cloud was produced.
Many wizards watching were shocked by this scene.
They wondered whether they could survive if they were at the center of this light explosion?
anwhile, Wizard Antoine stood below Arena No. 1. Unexpectedly, he didn't imdiately return to the rest room but uncharacteristically ca to watch Locke's match.
He looked up at this scene, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the sa ti, Witch Juliana crossed her arms, looking at the projection above the Cloud Arena that showed the battle details.
'That kind of succulent, I've never seen it before. Did Augustine develop it himself?'
'However, what's powerful isn't that succulent. It's that Full Moon Growth. If I'm not mistaken, it seems to have beco even more powerful.'
'And Locke's exquisite control to simultaneously manipulate Sa Qi Connected Branch, connecting thirty objects. Can a wizard really achieve this level of control?'
The two Second Circle wizards from the Tower of Transmutation had already watched Locke co all this way, continuously improving himself.
One Second Circle wizard said in a low voice, "In an instant, he used Sa Qi Connected Branch to connect thirty magical plants possessing First Circle vaporization stage magic pressure."
"If he makes even one wrong step, the entire magic becos a joke. This kind of control, I've asured it myself, and I don't think I could do it."
This was an ability unrelated to stats.
It was seeing heaven and earth in a small space.
He didn't even know how Locke possessed such powerful manipulation ability. How high must his ntal sensitivity be!
The other Second Circle wizard said, "That light explosion was indeed quite large in scale. But that Kungoding star fort... wasn't destroyed. Damn it, how could the magic of this builder academy from the Nine Origin Mountains be so sophisticated?"
At that mont in the sky, Wizard Mike hid in the star fort's core control room. He coughed once, because the magic power conflict caused his breathing to be sowhat uneven.
"That almost blew up my star fort. But he shouldn't be carrying enough of that kind of magical plant to launch an attack of this scale again."
"I withstood it."
"According to our builder philosophy, as long as we can withstand the peak of the enemy's attacks, the winner is ."
"The one with the highest hardness wins!" Wizard Mike's confidence surged. The next mont, a Tyrant Fern Spear wrapped in erald green Nature Force Field descended from the sky.
'Bang~'
Where the fern spear landed, with it as the center, massive building collapses occurred.
Terrifying power swept outward.
Locke rotated the Four-Leaf Clover ring on his right ring finger. This ring could store one instance of his spell power, and he had stored his Myst's Power.
This allowed him to cast Tyrant Fern Spear once during battle!
"Finally, this is a bit more satisfying."
Locke used the Coiling Dragon Holding Peach wand to strengthen Tyrant Fern Spear. The tip of Tyrant Fern Spear carried Myst's Power, transforming into power that could break through anything. As it descended, everything it passed collapsed.
Large sections of walls began to topple.
Shockwave after shockwave spread outward.
The entire Kungoding Star Fort was collapsing.
Block after block of buildings were falling downward.
In the star fort's core, Wizard Mike was stunned, "Could it be that he's going to directly bombard through my building?"
"Directly compare hardness with head-on!"
