Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"Hey, I didn't expect you guys to be here so early."

Seeing the twenty-odd people who were already waiting, Lin Yu greeted them with a smile.

"I'm naturally excited to be able to compete against a famous magician."

"I'll join in the fun too."

Just then, a voice came from afar.

The next moment, the figure was already close by.

The newcomer was dressed in white; he was none other than the man codenamed "Rain God." Behind him followed more than ten others, all exuding powerful auras.

Ah, yet another strong one.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

Then, he looked at the divine punishment and asked, "How do you intend to compete?"

"Let's do 3v3."

"Alright, there are five of us here. You can choose your own opponents," Lin Yu said.

At this moment, Kuroba slowly walked forward.

He is the second strongest in the Thunder Clan, possessing both S-rank and A-rank talents.

In a 3v3 match, they only need to win two games.

The Elder God of Punishment is preparing to fight Lin Yu, but he is somewhat worried, after all, there is a significant gap between a second-tier and a third-tier opponent.

Unless Lin Yu's attributes are low, but that's impossible.

As the leader of the Thunder Team, Divine Punishment possesses the dignity of a strong person and would not bypass Lin Yu to challenge others.

Therefore, he and another person can only fight first. As long as they can win two matches first, the divine punishment will not need to be used.

"I will fight you."

Hei Yu pointed at Ye Piaopiao.

Lin Yu's side consisted of five people. He had seen Chen Jing'er in action before and wasn't confident of a sure win.

Lin Yu was even less confident, so that left Ye Piaopiao, Xiao You, and Lu Qi as the three choices.

He chose Ye Piaopiao, intending to let their other brother challenge Xiao You, who seemed the weakest.

It's somewhat like the story of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

"Come on!" Ye Piaopiao stepped forward cleanly and efficiently, gripping her longsword.

"Boss, do you think Kuroba can win? That woman seems really confident."

In the Thunder team, a short but incredibly determined young man asked the question.

He was the third person to challenge Lin Xiaoyou. Although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, his strength ranked third.

"Kuroba won't lose."

Shenfa raised his eyes slightly, full of confidence.

"Haha, that's for sure. Of the five people on the other side, apart from the magician and that woman, Boss Black Feather has no chance of losing."

"By the way, Qingyun, go easy on that little girl later. Just make sure she wins."

"I get excited just thinking about it. With the addition of the magician, our Thunder team will definitely become famous all over the world."

The group of people became more and more excited as they talked, their eyes filled with excitement, as if they could already see Ye Piaopiao's defeat.

In the arena, Kuroba made the first move.

He rushed towards Ye Piaopiao at lightning speed, clenched his fist, and punched her.

"[Spell: Doubles Speed]"

It's almost instantaneous.

Ye Piaopiao wrote down a double speed-enhancing spell and applied it to herself.

Then, her body swayed slightly.

Kuroba's fist arrived just in time, smashing through her body in one blow.

"Oh no! Afterimage!"

Kuroba's pupils contracted, and his body reacted quickly, retreating rapidly.

Even so, a wound was still cut open on his arm by the longsword, and drops of blood flowed out.

"I didn't want it to be like this, but now there's nothing I can do."

Kuroba stopped retreating and gave a wry smile.

Then, he became serious.

Blood gushed out from the wound on his arm, condensing into blood needles in the air.

"go!"

With a loud shout.

Countless blood needles flew towards Ye Piaopiao, in great numbers and at an extremely fast speed.

"[Surgery formula: 6X + 24 = 8X, what is X?]"

Without hesitation, Ye Piaopiao instantly wrote down the formula, and a light screen rose from the ground to block her way.

"Pop~"

A sound like the light screen being punctured rang out.

The blood needle pierced through the spell's light barrier and shot towards her again.

Ye Piaopiao's eyes narrowed, and she quickly dodged.

However, under Black Feather's control, those blood needles could still turn in the air and relentlessly pursue him.

"[Spell: Add Sharpness!]"

As Ye Piaopiao dodged, she brought two fingers together and slashed them across the longsword in her hand, a wisp of firefly light attaching to it.

"Ding ding ding!"

She swung her longsword, severing all the blood needles.

Unexpectedly, Kuroba moved his left hand, and the shattered blood condensed again, turning into a long blood blade.

"Manipulating blood, that's a very strong talent."

Having read this far, Lin Yu had a basic understanding of Hei Yu's innate abilities.

"Manipulating blood? I think he's manipulating the blood flowing from his own wound. Does that mean he'll have to stab himself first before he attacks?"

Chen Jing'er was somewhat taken aback. Was such talent considered strong?

Couldn't he die from excessive blood loss first?

"Manipulating blood, that's an incredible talent. Imagine, when you're completely unprepared, the blood in your body suddenly attacks your heart—what would happen?"

Lin Yu asked without turning his head.

"Holy crap!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qi thought about it for a moment and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

"What if it were your own blood, suddenly attacking your heart and brain, causing you to explode and die? That would be terrible!"

It is impossible to guard against it!

"But it seems that Kuroba's control over blood is still limited at present, and he doesn't seem to be able to manipulate the blood in other people's bodies."

Lin Yu observed for a moment and found that Hei Yu seemed to be able to control his own blood.

If one could continuously research and break through in the guild's trial space, reaching the point where one could manipulate the blood in another's body, that would be extraordinary.

"That's so powerful, how do we counter it if we face it?" Chen Jing'er frowned.

"There are many amazing talents in this world, but there are no perfect talents. Every talent has its weaknesses."

Lin Yu slowly began to explain to everyone: "All manipulation-type talents are able to be manipulated because of the caster's innate magnetic field."

"For example, with Kuroba's blood manipulation, as long as you isolate his blood magnetic field, you can prevent your own blood from being controlled by the other party."

The group listened, seemingly lost in thought.

In the arena, Black Feather controlled the Blood Blade and slashed forward.

Upon contact with Ye Piaopiao's longsword, the Blood Blade suddenly shattered, transforming into countless strands of blood that splattered everywhere.

Even though Ye Piaopiao dodged quickly, a lot of blood still stuck to her body.

For an instant.

Wherever the blood touched, it began to sizzle and smoke, burning her skin in the next moment.

"Blood Explosion!"

With a soft shout from Hei Yu, blood splattered all over Ye Piaopiao's body, and tiny wounds appeared all over her arms.

Then, a feeling of dizziness came over me.

She almost fell.

"You've lost. The toxins in your blood have entered through your wounds. Although they'll only slow you down a bit, that's enough."

Kuroba spoke with a confident expression.

"[Technique: Doubles Physical Strength]"

Ye Piaopiao quickly wrote down the incantation to enhance her physique, and immediately a burst of green light emanated from her body, her physique rapidly improving.

The wounds on his body were also healing quickly.

The toxins in her body were also metabolized, and her body recovered completely.

"Depend on!"

Kuroba stared wide-eyed at the scene.

How can we play like this?

So, with four attributes, you can enhance whichever one you want? How are we supposed to fight like that?
