Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Chapter 56 The Frozen Domain

"In that case, how about we change the second match to a one-on-one singles contest?" Dean Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Dean Chu, this—" Teacher Gu Han looked at He An with some difficulty.

Although He An's Shadow Step and Giant Shadow Nail combo in the first match was amazing, leading Mingzhu Academy to victory in their first warm-up match.

However, when facing an ice-type opponent with extremely strong crowd control abilities in a one-on-one battle, He An, being a shadow-type, will inevitably be affected to some extent.

"Teacher Gu," He An stepped forward and said, a smile playing on his lips, "Trust me."

He An and Mu Ningxue stood in the center of the arena under everyone's gaze.

"Ice Vines!"

The moment the referee gave the order, Mu Ningxue took a small step back, and frost spread out in all directions, turning the arena into a snow-white ice domain.

The opening move is still the Ice Vine, a move unique to ice mages.

Mu Ningxue chose the most conservative approach, using her Ice Domain to effectively restrict He An's Shadow-type movements.

"This—this is a domain? Can spirit seeds have domains?" Teacher Gu Han felt like his worldview had been completely re-evaluated.

Domains are generally representative features of high-level magic and elemental species of soul level or above.

I've never heard of magic below the high level or elemental species below the soul level having domains.

Teacher Yuan Yang from the capital looked at the students he had brought with satisfaction, gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at Gu Han sideways, snorted coldly at him, and uttered four words: "Ignorant and ill-informed."

"I didn't expect that an ice elemental seed at the talent level would already have a domain? The future of this ice princess in your capital is immeasurable!" Dean Chu praised with some emotion.

He An moved his body slightly. The ice vines had a powerful freezing and slowing effect, and even though he had a body comparable to a warrior, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at the ice beneath his feet; the entire surface was as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting his image.

This was Mu Ningxue's response to his shadow-based abilities.

Shadow magic often requires shadows as a medium to be cast, and an ice mirror that reflects no shadows will effectively hinder the casting of shadow magic.

At the same time, the smooth ice surface will prevent enemies from quickly closing in, giving ample time for star linking and spellcasting.

pity.

He An was not an ordinary shadow mage, nor did he need to engage in close combat himself.

A dark purple shadow suddenly appeared and stretched beneath He An's feet, as if opening a door to a world of shadows behind him.

A pair of enormous, dark purple wolf claws emerged from the shadows and gripped the edge of the door.

Immediately afterwards, a head as large as a cartwheel emerged, its three scarlet eyes looking past the king in front of it and gazing at Mu Ningxue in the distance.

"Awooo~"

The three-eyed wolf shadow let out a deafening howl and transformed into a dark purple lightning bolt that shot out.

The door behind He An closed rapidly after the three-eyed wolf shadow darted out, and in that fleeting glimpse, one could still see the terrifying figure lurking in that shadowy world.

"A wolf summon beast of warrior-level quality?"

Whether they were students from the capital's universities who had previously stood on the opposite side, or exchange students from various universities who were just watching from the sidelines, they all gasped in shock.

The power of a warrior-level demon to a mid-level mage can almost be described as "sweeping". No mid-level mage can withstand an attack from such a creature without any defense.

"It's a Shadow Wolf of the Warrior General level." The erudite, fair-skinned young man, Jiang Yu, adjusted his glasses, observed carefully, and then said with a hint of surprise, "But why does it look so much like a Three-Eyed Wolf? Are there any Shadow Wolves that look like a Three-Eyed Wolf?"

"This guy's shadow magic seems a bit peculiar. I'll have to go back and ask my master about it," Jiang Yu muttered to himself, looking at He An on the stage.

"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

Facing a demon of warrior level, Mu Ningxue did not panic much, but continued to cast mid-level first-grade magic.

Four thick ice chains appeared on the ice beside He An, nimbly bypassing the three-eyed wolf shadow blocking their way, and coiling towards He An's limbs.

"Poison Extraction • Corruption!"

Dark green star trails appeared beside He An, and he summoned five points of venom with an eerie glow, heading towards the oncoming ice lock.

"Zzzzzzz!!!!"

When the venom comes into contact with solid ice, it makes a sizzling sound similar to oil dripping onto hot coals.

The hard ice lock quickly developed the same eerie luster, was completely corroded by the venom, and turned into toxic water that dripped onto the ice surface, stirring up a layer of white ice mist.

"Awooo!"

The three-eyed wolf let out a high-pitched roar and charged towards Mu Ningxue, stepping on the gaps in the ice corroded by venom.

"Wind Tracks, Drifting Shadows!"

Mu Ningxue calmly watched the three-eyed wolf shadow pounce on her and unleashed the third level of Wind Track.

If Wind Track: Swiftness is being swept along by the wind and rushing quickly in one direction, then the second level, Wind Track: Flash Step, is about rapidly blinking and jumping.

The third-tier Wind Trail - Shadow has an even wider range of activity. It connects several wind trails across a large surrounding area, establishing a unique wind-based highway that allows the mage to travel at high speed along.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three-eyed wolf shadow unleashed several claw attacks, but Mu Ningxue narrowly dodged them all.

While He An may have been holding back, Mu Ningxue's skill in casting magic and controlling the timing of battle was undeniably impressive.

As the female protagonist in the original work, Mu Ningxue is not just a pretty face, but an ice queen who grows up under countless pressures and hardships!

"Giant Shadow Nail - Pear Thorn!"

He An narrowed his eyes slightly, and three pairs of giant shadow nails, as sharp as swords, appeared out of thin air between his fingers. He threw them toward the open space destroyed by the battle between the man and the wolf.

"Ice Vine - Condensation!" Mu Ningxue panted as she made her move, taking advantage of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's momentary lapse in attack to condense its lower limbs, covering its black fur with a layer of snow-white frost.

As the three-eyed wolf shadow broke free from the frost and prepared to continue its attack, Mu Ningxue had already used the airflow channel created by Wind Track·Swift Movement to reach the edge of the arena.

An invisible chill swept through the arena, enveloping Mu Ningxue.

"Ice Block, Ice Lock, Colossal Python!"

The star map had already been drawn in her mind, just waiting for this moment to be released!

Enormous chains of ice converged behind Mu Ningxue. As the ice chains solidified, a colossal, ice-blue python rose from the arena floor. Each collision of the ice chains forming the python produced a resounding clang, like the roars of a real, ferocious beast.
