Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

He possesses the dual characteristics of a soldier and a madman, with an exaggerated scar on his face. Rather than a professor at the Spellcaster Academy, he looks more like a seasoned mercenary in a certain regiment.

Maybe this is the case throughout the empire.

"The content of the first round of competition is - Hellhound!"

As soon as the word "Hellhound" was uttered, violent cheers broke out in the arena.

No matter how the comparison is made, as long as it is related to hellhounds, it must be bloody and brutal, and the audience likes to see bloody things.

The so-called hellhound is an evil predator from hell that was domesticated by the demons.

Compared with animals of the same dog family on the mainland, they are much larger, even larger than ordinary wolves, and only slightly smaller than wargs.

It has sharp teeth and claws, breathes fire from its mouth, and is very cunning. It obeys its master's orders, but never absolutely.

The atmosphere at the scene became more heated as cages containing frenzied hellhounds appeared one after another.

The hellhound in the cage also became crazy because of the huge noise at the scene, and attacked the cage violently.

Students from other colleges are fine; they are mentally prepared for the challenges they will face.

Many people from St. Delo College who came to join in the fun are already considering whether to withdraw from the competition.

This is not a trial held in the phantom world. Even though there are high-level wizards on site to maintain safety, it does not mean that accidents will not happen.

Escape is shameful, but useful.

It would be a big loss to come out for fun and get seriously injured. Many students felt unlucky. Why was the first round designed by the Ukrainians?

Only they would create such dangerous content.

If the first round of designs were from other colleges, we could at least experience the atmosphere of the competition.

"Ram is good at this, if it's about fighting a hellhound."

Ram said with a somewhat happy tone that he didn't need any magic and even the hellhound couldn't beat him in pure melee combat.

"Mia isn't good at this."

Mia imitated Ram's tone and said, "And I don't think the Ukram people would design something as direct as fighting a hellhound."

She had followed the competitions in previous years, and the rounds held by the Uckermarks always had the highest elimination rate.

Sure enough, the scarred professor continued, "In this competition, all the hellhounds have been hit by some kind of demonic poison spell. The competition requires that you subdue the hellhounds and, according to the provided poison manual, identify the poison and use the correct healing spell or scroll to prevent the hellhounds from dying from the poison."

After the specific rules were introduced, the contestants sighed.

It is much more difficult to subdue a hellhound than to kill one.

Amidst the complaints, the thirty-odd people from Uckermark remained in military posture and did not move.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like a war machine disguised as a country.

On this side, Jia Xiu felt that this requirement didn't matter. The content was difficult, and it was difficult for everyone, as long as there was no discrimination.

Besides, healing is what he is best at.

Who among the students can be more healing than him?

"You two should be able to pass it too. It seems this round is a single-player competition, so you can't team up."

"Ram is fine, Ram is a pastor."

Mia scratched her head. "Let me think of a way. If the hellhound can be poisoned, it should be infected as well. If I have Bubu, it will be easy. I can definitely subdue it in seconds."

"But then again, why does the Uckermark school have so many hellhounds?" Jia Xiu was a little curious.

"They're experimental dogs. They have a lot of projects directly researching demons, and they stumbled upon Hellhounds. They're cheap, easy to breed, hardy, and not very sensitive to pain. They're perfect experimental dogs. Maybe these are the ones they used to 'recycle' after testing demon toxins."

Mia, a document expert, replied.

"Thankfully, no one here treats animals as their ancestors."

"Huh? How could someone regard animals as their ancestors? Not even a druid would do that."

"You can't figure it out, right? That's right..."

……

At this time, under the arena, in the internal working area where no outsiders are allowed to enter, a man in work clothes was pretending to inspect the storage area of ​​the hellhounds that would soon go on stage.

Wherever he went, the barking hellhounds would droop their ears and become quiet.

It’s not that he’s good at training dogs, but that as fellow creatures of hell, the hellhounds smelled the scent of a more powerful demon.

"Ha, so it's here."

He stopped in front of a cage. The number on it matched Jia Xiu's number on the list in his hand.

Chapter 114 There are always people who want to harm Jia Xiu

"Beautiful! Jacob, from the Holy Light Seminary and the Son of God, used a superb Holy Light Sword Seal to control the frenzied hellhound. Look at how beautiful that longsword made of holy light is. The purity of the longsword represents the wielder's piety and control of magic. Jacob is undoubtedly at the top level!"

Accompanied by the dwarf's emotional commentary, in the center of the arena, the top seed player Jacob calmly and gracefully used the lightsaber condensed from holy light to stab the hellhound into the ground.

The magical thing is that when the lightsaber pierced the hellhound's body, no blood flowed out. It seemed that it did not cause any substantial damage, but only fixed the hellhound to the ground.

His confident operation, coupled with a handsome face that looked like the actor who played Superman, caused countless female audiences to scream. He also saluted to one side of the audience, which made the screams even louder.

"cut……"

Jia Xiu in the waiting area doesn't like this Holy Son.

It's a competition, and the ranking is based on the time taken. And you still have the leisure to salute, how greasy!

It's just a lightsaber, he's used it before, a magic card that prohibits attacking for three turns.

How fresh.

Although he was rather disdainful of Jacob's behavior, he had to admit that he had some skills in controlling magic power, and his basic skills were probably more solid than his own.

There are indeed some very strong opponents in this competition.

However, Jia Xiu was not too worried, as his competitiveness did not lie in basic magic skills.

Rather, it is about theoretical research, innovation of effects, inspiration of practical application, and interpretation of rules.

Who wants to compete with you in basic skills?

After controlling the hellhound, Jacob began to take the next step.

"Okay, now he's starting to determine what kind of toxin the Cerberus was infected with. According to the information provided by the Uckermark team, there are many different types of toxins in the Cerberus, making it difficult to determine... What! Contestant Jacob has already started treatment? He hasn't even read the toxin manual. Just how proficient is he in toxins and healing spells?"

As Jacob cast several different healing spells in succession, the hellhound's breathing gradually stabilized.

He raised his hand. "Okay, check it out."

The referee stopped the clock and went forward to check on Cerberus.

"Toxins removed in 3 minutes and 25 seconds."

Jacob was not surprised by the result. He straightened his hair, took off his gloves, and threw them to the audience. He must have cast some magic during the throwing process, otherwise it would be difficult to throw such a light object like the gloves so far.

The Son of God's "original" gloves immediately attracted a crowd of people to scramble for them.

Jacob really enjoys this feeling. His life motto is that winning is temporary, but being handsome is for life.

Always be elegant and handsome.

So he began to circle the field in tribute.

Jia Xiu in the waiting area couldn't stand watching his actions anymore. It felt like he was watching a boy band idol.

I turned around to look at the time and guessed that Ram should be on the court, so I looked for Ram in the surrounding area.

Because there were so many people in the first round, multiple matches were held simultaneously to accommodate the arena.

Only the "main stage" in the middle, where the favored seeded players compete, will have commentary, and each game will be broadcast to distant campuses through projection.

Naturally, it is also the venue that is watched by the most reporters. If you don’t perform well on the main stage, it will be embarrassing for multiple campuses and newspapers at the same time.

Here, Jia Xiu also found the venue for Ram's competition.

Looking from a distance...

He was just too worried.

He didn't even need luck. A strong forearm grabbed the hellhound's neck and lifted it up, slowly comparing the symptoms to see what kind of poison it should be.

The Strength attribute of the Half-Ogre is still too authoritative.

However, those who performed as easily as Ram on the "side stage" were a minority among the minority, while the majority were in a mess.

Every now and then, a billowing black smoke would rise from a certain area.

That was the sign of the hellhound spontaneously combusting after death.

"The next contestant to take the stage is Mia Oak from San Dero College! So far, the performances of the San Dero students have been less than satisfactory. Of course, we all know that San Dero students always prioritize friendship over entertainment, and competitions are casual. I wonder if Miss Mia can bring something different to the table."

The commentator's voice came, Mia took a deep breath and prepared to go on stage.

She was also scheduled to perform on the main stage.

But it’s not because she is a seed player, but because she is a traffic player.

It’s really too famous to publish your first work in Nature as a freshman.

Competition requires not only competitiveness but also traffic.

A large number of viewers are looking forward to watching Mia's performance, partly because they want to see her demonstrate the strength that matches her fame, but more because they want to see her make a fool of herself.

It is much more interesting to see a genius who is currently in the limelight make a fool of himself than to see a genius pretending to be great.

However, Jia Xiu felt that the wishes of both audiences could not be satisfied.

First of all, he definitely doesn’t have the strength to match his fame. It’s not that he lacks the strength, it’s just that he is too famous.

Rumor has it that Mia is almost becoming the most popular druid in the world.

Although most people are not quite clear about what her main research is, and many people still think that bacteria are some kind of thin mushrooms, this does not stop them from praising Mia.

As for making a fool of herself, based on Jia Xiu's understanding of Mia, it shouldn't be that serious.

"We saw contestant Mia struggling to dodge the Cerberus's attacks. Hiding like this isn't the solution. You won't be able to complete the competition just by hiding."

The commentator's ridicule caused laughter from the audience.
