Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 148 Audience: The game ended too quickly
"Oh!"

As another figure was thrown off the stage, the whole audience became restless.

"My boy, this is the tenth person, right? Can anyone among the top fifty masters hold on for 5 seconds?"

If he defeated ten of the top fifty students in a row in a one-on-one duel, it might be acceptable. But if each of these students was killed in five seconds, the shock would be numb enough.

"What? Now, including the time it takes Director Li to read out the names and go on stage, all ten people have less than five minutes. I was just about to notify my brothers to come and see Superman, but now I see that by the time he arrives, the competition is over."

"Stop talking, now here comes another unlucky guy."

If five minutes ago everyone still had high expectations for the challenge of the top fifty students against Li Yu, now everyone, whether teachers, spectator students or preparing students, do not think that there will be any surprises in this seemingly unfair round-robin battle. The huge gap makes it impossible for anyone to have the slightest desire to chase.

"Oh my god, isn't that Xu Mingcong who is ranked 20th?"

"Xu Mingcong? I remember that he is also known for his speed. He is practicing both wind and shadow. He should be able to last for ten seconds, right?"

"..."

Xu Mingcong stood on the stage, face to face with Li Yu. He looked very handsome and stylish in his specially dressed outfit, but his slightly dejected expression detracted a lot from his specially designed look.

"Brother Li Yu, please stop talking nonsense and I hope you will show mercy."

Xu Mingcong clasped his fists in an ancient style. Because he was also a speed enthusiast, he realized how terrifying Li Yu's strength was. He didn't expect to win, as long as he could last five seconds, he would be considered a winner.

"Senior, please."

Li Yu drew his sword once again, with the blade pointing forward.

At this point in the game, Li Mingdong was too lazy to waste any more words.

"Game start."

Seeing Li Yu ejected into battle again, everyone's expression was unusually calm. With the previous experience of the group of unlucky guys, Xu Mingcong went straight to something ruthless.
"Shadow Escape!"

Seeing his sword fall into the air and Xu Mingcong who had already moved away, Li Yu remembered the chase with Mo Fan and his face froze. Although the time and place were much more favorable to him this time, it still aroused a great psychological shadow in him.

Xu Mingcong didn't know what Li Yu was thinking. He just made the most appropriate judgment based on the situation on the scene. He couldn't delay for too long just by relying on the wind track. It would be better to use the Shadow Escape skill which could sneak in the shadows at a speed comparable to teleportation.

Then, just as Li Yu attacked again and Xu Mingcong was about to disappear into the shadows, he was stunned to find that Li Yu threw out a small glowing ball. The intensity of light emitted by the ball even exceeded that of the light magic. In an instant, the dazzling light illuminated the entire arena. Xu Mingcong, who was caught off guard and looked directly at the ball of light, felt a sharp pain in his eyes and subconsciously covered his eyes.

"boom!"

When Xu Mingcong realized that something was wrong, Li Yu's hand was already on his shoulder, allowing him to enjoy the same meal as the previous gentlemen.

Finally, after more than ten people, the unlucky guy with the most serious injuries appeared. Xu Mingcong's eyes were burned because he looked directly at the strong light at close range. The healing teacher who had been idle for a while came to use his skills and even used a high-level healing magic to treat Xu Mingcong.

On the other side, Li Yu had already taken back the light ball. Li Mingdong looked at Li Yu's actions strangely, and finally couldn't help asking:
"You are not using this move to prevent the shadow-type's Shadow Escape, right?"

After seeing Li Yu nod silently, Li Mingdong began to admire him. There are not many students like him nowadays. They are busy improving their magical power and proficiency, but ignore that fighting also requires skills.

Even if Xu Mingcong knew about Li Yu's ball in advance, it would not change anything. The strong light illuminated the entire arena as if it were daytime, without a trace of shadow, which directly eliminated Xu Mingcong's only means of guerrilla warfare with Li Yu. Once the ball of light was thrown out, his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

"Next, Mo Feng!"

"Hey, hey, hey, the eleventh-ranked Mo Feng is here. He should be the highest-ranked challenger this time."

"Yes, let's see how long he can last."

Mo Feng, standing on the ring, was just like everyone else. He asked Li Yu to show mercy while smiling bitterly. Although according to Li Yu's fighting style, they would only suffer minor injuries at most, they still had to say some polite words.

"Senior, please."

A familiar starting move. After Li Mingdong shouted "start", Li Yu began the usual operation, starting with the wind track and charging with a knife.

"Eh?"

What surprised everyone was that Mo Feng stood there motionless!
Seeing Mo Feng's reaction, everyone subconsciously frowned and speculated. Just when Li Yu was halfway through, Mo Feng, who was concentrating on watching Li Yu, took action. He waved his hand and a large net came towards him.

"A dragnet!" "Oh!"

Everyone was shocked at this moment. It turned out to be a very rare net-shaped magic tool, and it was a range-binding type of net. This was usually a magic tool used by the Inquisition to arrest mages.

And the smartest thing Mo Feng did was to wait until Li Yu was halfway through the run and his forward momentum was unstoppable before releasing the net, which really had a great chance of hitting him.

However, before everyone could be surprised for long, before the word "Oh" was uttered in response to Mo Feng, Li Yu showed them real shock.

Facing the oncoming net, Li Yu turned around and stepped sideways with his right foot.

With a "bang", the ground under Li Yu's feet collapsed directly. He took advantage of the recoil momentum at this moment to forcibly change direction, leaving a residual image on the spot.

After the net touched the afterimage, it fell to the ground without any obstruction. After a change of direction, Li Yu rushed to Mo Feng, who seemed slow due to shock, without slowing down.

"You win."

Mo Feng said bitterly, not only was he defeated in magic strength, but his little tricks were also cracked by violence. With a knife on his neck, what else could he do but not admit defeat?
"you……"

Mo Feng walked down the arena in a daze. Li Mingdong, who temporarily acted as a builder, used earth magic to repair the damage to the arena. After looking at Li Yu deeply, he said nothing and continued to call for help.

"Next……"

"Next……"

"Next……"

The next three people who came on stage did not bring any surprises to the audience. They were not at an advantage in magic and lacked special magic tools. Even though they had watched the previous ten games, they did not have any means to deal with Li Yu. Most of them only opened up wind tracks and were then caught up by Li Yu, and had to admit defeat with a knife at their necks.

"Okay, that's all for today's competition."

With Li Mingdong's announcement, everyone suddenly realized that
"Ah, so the game is over."

Someone looked at the time and said "whoa".
"It's only been ten minutes and it's over?"

"How should I put it? I don't know if this game is enjoyable or not."

It’s not satisfying, after all, it’s a rare battle between the top fifty masters, and it’s also a clarion call for a charge towards the top ten.

But if you talk about addiction...

How to put it? It always felt like the ending was too hasty. It was different from the battle of gods they had imagined. More than a dozen people took turns to fight, and it only took ten minutes to end the game. If the vast majority of Fengyuan had not seen it with their own eyes, they would even suspect that this was a huge scandal in Fengyuan - a collective match-fixing incident.

Moreover, unlike the last match that attracted almost no attention, this challenge attracted a lot of attention due to the free promotion by Yu Feng and others. Not only did a lot of people from Feng College come, but also a group of people from other colleges. Originally, these students from other colleges were planning to call their friends to watch the game, but it ended too quickly and many people didn't even have time to arrive.

But it doesn’t matter if you’re not there, there’s never a shortage of cameras at a competition of this level.

Soon, hot searches began to dominate the campus forums.

[Shocked! The real Mingzhu Demon King turned out to be him! ]

[The top 50 senior students gang up on the freshmen. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? ]

[One knife to a rookie, how could the top 50 of Fengyuan be so lame? ]

【…】

In addition to the clickbait headlines, there are also many honest people who posted the unedited video on the forum.

[The 15 top 50 senior students from Fengyuan compete with the 8th freshman in a round-robin battle. The whole process is recorded without deletions! ]

The news began to spread like wildfire across campus forums.
