Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 273 The Tortoise Shell Mage Displays His Power

Seeing that Ai Jiangtu had already announced his name, Zhao Manyan knew he had no choice but to step forward and walk towards the arena. He stopped hesitating and instead stood up from the group.

Seeing Zhao Manyan walk onto the stage, Lin Chen and the others headed towards the spectator stands at the back.

"Hello, my name is Kim Jong-hyun, nice to meet you." The guard from Bangbang Country also stepped onto the stage and introduced himself to Zhao Manyan.

"Zhao Manyan," Zhao Manyan said.

"The match begins!" the instructor from the Busan National Stadium of South Korea announced, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Kim Jong-hyun.

As soon as the referee's voice rang out, the Starlight appeared in Jin Zhongxian's hand, and a crimson flame appeared. He threw it out directly. The crimson flame was very small at first, just a small flame, but as it got closer to Zhao Manyan, the flame grew bigger and bigger. When the flame landed in front of Zhao Manyan, it exploded without warning, making a huge roar.

Rings of fire rippled outwards from Zhao Manyan, the blazing flames dancing wildly, seemingly intent on burning him to ashes.

"That guy's quick thinking is pretty good. He had his magic ready as soon as the referee spoke. I wonder if Zhao Manyan has reacted yet. If he hasn't, he's going to be in for a world of hurt," Guan Yu said.

Guan Yu had always disliked Zhao Manyan. He was a substitute who was bought with money, which was really beneath the dignity of the National Team. It made it seem like anyone with money could get into the National Team.

If Zhao Manyan really suffered a great loss when dealing with the Bangbang National Team, he would be even happier to see it, but the premise is that he can't lose to the Bangbang team, otherwise the entire National Team will lose face along with them.

As the flames began to die down, Zhao Manyan's body was revealed. To the disappointment of Guan Yu and Bangbangguo, Zhao Manyan was not burned by the flames. A water shield protected him from the flames.

"Zhao Manyan's reaction speed is pretty good too. That last wave was a pretty good sneak attack, but he defended against it all." Jiang Yu gave Zhao Manyan a thumbs up.

Kim Jong-hyun's expression remained unchanged as he saw Zhao Manyan protected by the water shield. He showed no frustration at missing his attack, raised his hand high in the air, and pointed it directly at Zhao Manyan.

"Breaking Dash!"

Suddenly, some frenzied lightning energy appeared above Zhao Manyan's head, like the breath of death, spreading over his head.

With a loud shout from Jin Zhongxian, these purple lightning bolts fell from mid-air, carrying an incomparably domineering power, and crashed down directly on Zhao Manyan.

"Radiant Shield!"

A shield of light enveloped Zhao Manyan, successfully blocking the lightning attack released by Jin Zhongxian.

"He's also a violent mage who cultivates both lightning and fire, but unfortunately, he's still a bit weaker than Mo Fan," Zhao Manyan muttered to himself.

Jin Zhongxian looked at Zhao Manyan, who was protected by the light shield, and a slight surprise appeared on his lips. He originally wanted to use the conductivity of water to break through Zhao Manyan's defense, but he did not expect Zhao Manyan to release another light shield.

This move left Kim Jong-hyun somewhat bewildered. Who would awaken two defensive spells?

However, Kim Jong-hyun didn't dwell on the issue too much. No matter how thick the defense was, he could just destroy it.

"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"

Kim Jong-hyun slammed his fist into the ground, causing large areas of the ground to crack, and the entire arena was instantly enveloped by nine pillars of flame.

"Bangbang, this arena is too small. A mid-level spell can almost cover the entire foothold. It's so insidious," Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but complain.

"Tidal Wave - Flood Roll!"

Protected by the light shield, Zhao Manyan also unleashed a mid-level water-based spell, sending a colossal wave crashing down from the sky, like water bursting its banks and surging towards the flames on the ground.

The collision of flames and waves instantly created a large amount of water vapor in the arena, enveloping the entire arena.

Just when everyone thought the moisture would spread to the surrounding area, the arena's defensive formation took effect, completely enveloping the arena in moisture.

"This formation traps all the water vapor inside, which is a great advantage for Zhao Manyan. His water magic should be greatly enhanced," Jiang Yu said.

"No, that guy's second type is lightning. With so much water vapor here, his lightning will be strengthened. Also, Zhao Manyan's water-type defense and attack are conductive, which means he's quite effective against him." Ai Jiangtu frowned.

Zhao Manyan, standing in the middle of the field, had obviously also noticed the problem. His brows furrowed, and he immediately drew a star map.

"Light Bless - Protect!"

Another golden light shield appeared around Zhao Manyan, enveloping him and protecting his safety.

Seeing Zhao Manyan's defense, Jin Zhongxian's lips curled into a sinister smile. A cloud of lightning once again enveloped the entire arena, and as Jin Zhongxian's finger fell, countless bolts of lightning danced down.

The wildly dancing purple lightning, guided by the moisture surrounding the arena, began to spread in all directions. After touching the defensive array around the arena, it quickly converged towards the center of the arena. After several such encounters, the power of the lightning not only did not decrease, but instead grew stronger.

"Lightning - Frenzy!"

Seeing the purple lightning surging towards him, Zhao Manyan knew that his shield alone was not enough to stop it. While the outermost light shield was neutralizing the lightning attack, Zhao Manyan continuously summoned new light shields to protect his body.

After Jin Zhongxian's lightning destroyed one golden light shield, Zhao Manyan summoned two more. He destroyed two more, then summoned four more...

"Something's not right. While water vapor can amplify the power of lightning to some extent, the power boost from that bolt of lightning is a bit too much," Lin Chen said.

"There's something wrong with the arena's defensive formation; it seems to enhance the power of that stick's attack magic," Nan Jue said.

"Isn't this cheating?! We have to protest!" Jiang Yu said angrily.

"It's probably no use. The gangsters dared to do something like this, so they must not be afraid of being investigated. And judging from their personalities, they'll definitely say we can't accept defeat," Nan Jue said.

"Now we can only rely on Zhao Manyan. Hopefully, he can prove those 'bangers' wrong," Ai Jiangtu said.

On the arena, as the power of the lightning continued to increase, the moisture was almost exhausted, but Zhao Manyan's defensive light shield still had one piece that had not been broken, and judging from Zhao Manyan's posture, he could still summon more.

Jin Zhongxian immediately lost his composure and threw out a punch with his right hand, once again unleashing the mid-level magic Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces.

Seeing this, Zhao Manyan also began to cast water magic on himself, enveloping himself in water-based spells.

And so, when Kim Jong-hyun unleashed fire magic, Zhao Manyan countered with a water shield; when Kim Jong-hyun unleashed lightning magic, Zhao Manyan countered with a light shield. Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a gentle breeze appeared around Kim Jong-hyun's body, and he swiftly attacked Zhao Manyan, a demon-slaying weapon appearing in his hand at the same time.

"Have they lost all sense of shame?!" Jiang Yu shouted angrily.

"Guangyao has gone blind!"

Although Jin Zhongxian was still some distance away from Zhao Manyan, Zhao Manyan had already sensed the sharpness of the demon-slaying tool and immediately threw a ball of light forward.

Under the radiant light, Kim Jong-hyun's vision was temporarily impaired, and Zhao Manyeon took the opportunity to use the Earth Wave Technique to successfully evade Kim Jong-hyun's attack.

When Jin Zhongxian's vision cleared again, he saw Zhao Manyan use the Earth Wave Technique to move to another location.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Jin Zhongxian's mind, but it wasn't about how to defeat Zhao Manyan. Rather, it was about how much Zhao Manyan's third awakened element was earth, which was also a defensive element. Just how afraid of death was he? All three elements were defensive in nature.

Taking advantage of Jin Zhongxian's momentary lapse in concentration, Zhao Manyan decisively unleashed a Radiant Blindness spell, and then, using this opportunity, launched a devastating wave that sent Jin Zhongxian flying off the stage.
