Chapter 662 Iron Angel
"Why are you going there?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

"My original destination was also there, and I came here on the way. My special plane is still parked at the airport for repairs." Old Yuan glanced at Luo Jun and said, "Do you think I really ran tens of thousands of kilometers just to scold you?"

"Why are you on a business trip again?" Luo Jun remembered that Mr. Yuan had been on a business trip to Utopia last year and almost got into trouble.

"It's mainly because I have more experience in this area." When Old Yuan said this, he was a little proud. "The first group of people who came into contact with other worlds a hundred years ago have either become immortals or ascended to heaven. I am the only old immortal who has not ascended to heaven. And I happened to like running around in various worlds to do research in my early years. So when many worlds encountered problems, they would ask me to be a consultant. Of course, this is also my personal interest."

"But last time..." Luo Jun was a little worried.

"Don't worry." Elder Yuan touched his apprentice's head. "This time I'm really just an advisor. Although the Great Rain Forest is adjacent to the Federation, it is not within the Federation after all. It is an area jointly managed by the three major organizations. The Yuan Xiu Association also has a branch there. Moreover, the nature of [Hell] is somewhat similar to [Wilderness]. There is almost no native human civilization. Once you cross the door, it is a world full of monsters. Therefore, explorers there don't have to consider the relationship with the local civilization. This time, we are going to investigate with a large team composed of elite explorers from various countries. There are many masters, and it is not my turn to take action if there is any danger."

"I've already told Lao Wan about your situation. Don't worry, he will take care of you. As long as you stay at the hotel of the Yuan Xiu Society, the Vatican won't dare to do anything to you. Also, do your best in the competition. The key is to get your body back in shape. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. My problem has been going on for a while, and I'm doing fine now. You don't need to worry about me."

"Also, don't be impulsive during the game. I know you have a lot of treasures and a lot of ideas, but don't do things like Gonzalez, it's not a good thing to be too conspicuous. Although you have made rapid progress, you haven't been exposed to vitality for a long time. It's better to develop slowly first."

Old Yuan kept nagging and giving instructions for a long time until the plane urged him to leave. Then he said goodbye to Luo Jun and left. Looking at his master's back, Luo Jun felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely heal you!"

The rest time passed quickly, and on the morning of the third day, all the contestants returned to [Heaven] to prepare for the third round of competition.

This round of competition is divided into two days, two games in the morning and two games in the afternoon. After the end, the final eight players will be decided.

According to the rules of the competition, as long as you enter the top eight, you can get an epic treasure as a prize. The treasure is made by hand, and it is a bottle cap-sized medal with the words "Tianyuan Conference Top Eight" engraved on it. It can be hung around the neck as a necklace. As for the effect, it is a more conventional shield and increases the speed of vitality recovery.

It is true that for the masters who made it to the quarterfinals, epics were not rare. But the significance of ranking was not only in the material rewards. Getting this treasure was also a kind of honor and recognition. Moreover, this competition was broadcast live around the world, and being able to perform well at the conference was also a good opportunity to become famous.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. After a day's rest, welcome back to the live broadcast of the Tianyuan Conference!"

"I've been waiting for a long time. These past two days, I returned to the main world and found that various discussion posts and voting posts on the forum were extremely popular!"

"Yes, many viewers said that they can't wait to watch the quarterfinals, and the discussion about the finalists is also very heated..."

"Then starting today, it's time to reveal the answer. Let's invite the top 16 contestants to the stage again..."

Following the host's introduction, the contestants all stood on the field. Although the audience already knew their intelligence from the first two rounds, the host still used gorgeous words to give the contestants exaggerated nicknames, such as the Cursed Nobleman, the Guide to the Ice Age, the Unruly Warrior, the Spokesperson of the Mortal Limits... Even Luo Jun was given a "Mobile Suit Favored by Fate".

"Then, please ask contestant number one Leonardo and contestant number two Elena to stay on the field and prepare. The other contestants, please return to the contestant area and wait!"

Finally, the opening remarks were completed and other contestants began to leave the stage. When passing by Elena, Luo Jun keenly discovered that this usually cheerful girl now looked unusually solemn.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Elena looked at Leonardo, who was smiling and greeting the camera, "It's just that the competition is coming up, and I'm a little nervous."

"Is he the source of the tension?" Luo Jun looked at Leonardo and frowned slightly.

How should I put it about this man? Although they had not had much communication in these days, he had left a deep impression on him.

The reason is simple: when Luo Jun was in the contestant seat and in the same room with Leonardo, he felt a vague sense of discomfort.

This feeling was not obvious, and Luo Jun did not notice the source at first. He even thought it was his own illusion. He also asked Ling Xin, Xue Lan and other familiar friends, but no one else noticed it. This also made Luo Jun think that maybe he was a little nervous during the conference.

But later, Luo Jun keenly discovered that this feeling of discomfort would change with the appearance of Leonardo... When Leonardo left the player's seat, the discomfort would be alleviated or even disappear.

After realizing this, Luo Jun confirmed that this was not an illusion, but he still couldn't explain what that vague feeling was. He even used dice to judge, and the result showed that this feeling was harmless to him... After a few days, when he got used to it, he didn't pursue it too much.

However, this time, after returning to the main world to rest for a day and then coming back to see Leonardo, that feeling became obvious again.

Elena would also be nervous because of him. Could she feel it too?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun asked in a low voice: "What did you feel from him?"

"Feeling..." Elena sighed: "It's an uncomfortable sight... Never mind, as a man you won't understand."

"Ah?!" Luo Jun was stunned. Is this thing divided by gender?

At this time, he noticed that Leonardo turned his head and looked at him. There was a strange light in his eyes, which contained possession, desire and admiration... As a man, Luo Jun keenly interpreted the meaning of this look. He shuddered and comforted Elena with a sentence "May you be blessed", and then left at the speed of light.

This is a really big competition, with all kinds of players.

After the blessing, the host announced the start of the competition. "Dear Elena." Leonardo smiled, "I didn't expect that we would become opponents in the third round. This is really fate... In Aurora's words, we are really destined to be together."

"I really want to end this bad relationship!" Elena snorted coldly: "Since we are my opponent, even if I know I will fail, I will go all out. Make your move!"

"Haha, if this is a contest between the magic schools, you can't be my opponent." Leonardo smiled and shook his head: "If it is another competition, I don't mind giving you the victory. But this time, my lovely Elena, I may disappoint you."

As he spoke, Leonardo raised his hand and cast a weakness curse on Elena.

The curse instantly penetrated Elena's energy, making her feel weak all over and she almost collapsed to the ground.

But Elena, who was also proficient in the spellcasting skills, was not so easily knocked down. She immediately used her abilities to begin to remove the spell!
However, Leonardo is a top-level sorcerer after all, and his attainments in sorcery are probably second only to the Grand Sister Saint Andariel. How could the curse he cast be broken so easily?

"Don't struggle, my dear Elena." Leonardo smiled and said, "Even though I know you will be resurrected, I don't want to kill you here. Just admit defeat. I will give you a surprise after I complete this Tianyuan Conference."

"I don't need your surprise..." Elena took a few steps back with her weak body, gritting her teeth and said, "I've said it many times, I don't like you, please don't bother me anymore."

"You have the right to dislike me, but at the same time, you cannot deprive me of my right to pursue true love." Leonardo smiled and said, "I believe that I will impress you one day... But that is a story for the future. Now, can you please surrender?"

"No... This is my best chance to prove myself..." The aura in Elena's body suddenly surged, and then she stood up straight abruptly, raised her hands and formed a seal, and a curse enveloped Leonardo!

"You actually solved my curse? And you can even fight back?" Leonardo said with a smile, "My lovely Elena, your growth has really given me a big surprise... But isn't your curse a little too vicious?"

Leonardo stretched out his hand and seemed to pinch off a little of the cursed energy that enveloped him. After rubbing his fingertips, he smiled and said, "Aging, deepening pain, and mixed with strong muscle stiffness, do you want me to die in pain?"

As he said that, he snapped his fingers, and Elena's curse disappeared.

"Alas, I am reluctant to use such a painful curse against you, but since you refuse to admit defeat, I can only let you suffer." Leonardo raised a finger and pointed it at Elena: "Fear!"

Almost at the same time, Elena's eyes widened with a look of fear in them, and then she began to back away with a pale face: "Don't... don't... don't come near me..."

This scene left most of the audience confused.

"The battle between the two spell casters was too boring to watch..." Ling Yao shook his head in the contestant seat. "Especially the two spell casters. They didn't even need to move. They just waved their hands and chanted spells to each other and considered the battle intense. There was not even any visual effect. As spectators, we couldn't even judge the specific effect of the curse... It was too boring."

Ling Yao's words also reflected the thoughts of many contestants. This had nothing to do with strength or eyesight. Curses were all about inflicting them silently on the opponent. In many cases, the person who was hit might not even notice it, let alone the bystanders.

If a curse is cast and everyone around can see the effect at a glance, then there is no point in the sorcerer's career.

Luo Jun also felt the same way. In the current situation on the field, he could only infer from Elena's reaction that she was at a disadvantage in the battle of spells. After all, the opponent was the top of the same faction, and it would be a miracle if she could win... Even if Elena used the aerial form with big wings, she could not escape Leonardo's spell in the limited space.

Just when everyone thought that Elena's failure was only a matter of time, this woman suppressed her fear, suddenly took out a small bottle, unscrewed the lid and drank it!

A potion to remove the curse? This is indeed a professional match for dealing with the top of the spell school, but even if it temporarily removes the curse, it will not have much impact on the final result. Leonardo can use more than one curse...

But who would have thought that after Elena drank the potion, a holy light suddenly appeared on her body, and white wings suddenly spread out behind her!

Isn't it still in birdman form? Even if it can fly, it can change the fabric... Wait, that's not right!

Luo Jun suddenly widened his eyes. This time, what unfolded behind Elena was not one pair of wings, but three pairs, six wings in total!

Moreover, these six wings were longer and bigger than the previous two. With a flap of the six wings, they carried Elena high into the sky. Then, they retracted the wings and wrapped Elena's body inside, making her look like a white egg, suspended above the stadium!

"An amazing scene has appeared!" The host Lina, who had been silent for a long time, exclaimed in surprise: "We saw that contestant Elena suddenly wrapped herself up with wings. I wonder what this trick is... How will contestant Leonardo respond? We saw that contestant Leonardo did not react at all. He stood there, looking up at contestant Elena, and even had a smile on his face. Is this the confidence of a top-level sorcerer?"

"How long has it been..." Leonardo smiled and looked up at Elena with an intoxicated look: "How many years have passed? Will I finally see that posture again?"

Just as everyone was curiously staring at the "egg" in the air, suddenly, the six entangled wings trembled, creating a gap, and a soft light shone through the gap...

"We see that contestant Elena is about to spread her wings. Let's wait and see what will happen inside those wings!"

As the host was explaining, the six wings fully unfolded, revealing the true body inside!
The long golden hair rose up into the sky automatically without wind, surrounded by a golden halo. Below was Elena's straight face, and further down was the metal neck composed of hydraulic rods and mechanical spine!

That's right, Elena's neck has become a mechanical body, but her collarbone and chest are still human skin, but through the gaps in her clothes, you can see the obvious mechanical structure at the joints of her body! Even the feathers on her six wings have a metallic luster.
After being wrapped in six wings, Elena turned into a half-human, half-mechanical creature!
This scene left all the audience stunned.

"Finally appeared!" Leonardo on the ground looked at Elena who had completed her transformation with an obsessed expression on his face and his whole body trembling slightly.

"My, Iron Angel!"
