The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

With this in mind, Wan Xing felt that he was not a villain at all, but a great philanthropist - not only did he save Claire's relatives and friends in her hometown, he also helped her awaken two talents, and the fee was only ten kisses. This was actually charity!

No, after the actual combat competition, I have to collect more interest from Claires, otherwise I will suffer a huge loss.

When Wan Xing was thinking about this,

The principal in the stands finally finished drawing lots and announced the matchups for the semifinals:

"Ring No. 1, Wanxing Russell vs. Yelusis! Ring No. 2, Devilia vs. Claires!"

The principal's voice was transmitted through the magic broadcast, spreading throughout the entire playground, so that every student watching the game could hear it clearly.

As soon as Wanxing stepped onto the ring, he summoned Xingyi - familiars can be used in actual combat competitions. Other magicians do not summon their familiars because their familiars are too weak and have no power, and can only perform the work of reconnaissance or messengers.

Although Wanxing is confident of defeating the Eighth Prince with only the three powers inherited from the God of Wisdom: analysis and identification, thinking acceleration, and chanting destruction.

But what he wanted was an absolute crushing victory, an all-around victory, and he wanted to make the Eighth Prince feel fear when he saw him - the fear that was like seeing a natural enemy that he could never defeat.

After all, there are still two months before the Six University Campus Exchange Competition. If Hachioji is not intimidated, who knows what trouble he will cause in these two months.

Although Wanxing is not afraid of Hachioji causing trouble, he is still annoyed by being disgusted every day, and it may also waste his precious time for killing monsters and leveling up.

The key point is that Wanxing can't read minds, and he doesn't know that Hachioji also intends to kill him during the exchange competition, and is not planning to do it in Russell City.

If Wanxing knew this, he wouldn't have done anything unnecessary.

……

As the part-time referee teacher announced the start of the game, Wanxing took the lead.

He didn't even chant any spells, but cast super-level spells one after another as if they were free - [Summon Fire Element], [Meteor Shower], [Resist Fire Ring]...

The flames were dazzling and the heat was overwhelming. Suddenly, the entire giant arena was filled with burning murderous intent. The air was almost ignited, creating a distorted vision.

Because Wanxing had already cast super-level magic twice in the previous competition.

So the Eighth Prince was well prepared for this. He smiled contemptuously and used the [Thunder Dragon Ring] to summon a thunder dragon to block in front of him.

However, this time, the Thunder Dragon was not as easy to deal with as before against the super-class warriors.

Although super-level fighting skills and super-level magic both belong to the super-level, their focuses are different.

The advantage of super-level fighting skills is that they can be performed quickly, almost instantly.

The advantage of super-class magic is its enormous power, and its destructive power and killing range are almost comparable to heroic-level super-class fighting skills.

Therefore, Wanxing, who can instantly cast super-level magic, has the power to kill enemies of higher levels.

The Thunder Dragon, made of pure thunder elements, can easily withstand the fighting skills of super-class warriors, but that doesn't mean it can also withstand Wanxing's super-class magic.

The Thunder Dragon was bent over by the rain of fire falling from the sky, and its body was unstable due to the beating of the giant fire element. It was then bounced off the stage by the scorching resistance fire ring.

Fortunately, the thunder dragon could fly, and it flew back after circling around.

However, what greeted it was a huge blue screen!

Any damage sustained by the Thunder Dragon will be repaired by the Thunder Elements in its body, so even though it looks unharmed, it has actually consumed a large amount of Thunder Elements, and its body looks a little dim.

Xingyi took advantage of its weakness and swallowed it into the stomach space in one gulp.

Then there was a loud "boom" and Xingyi's whole body was flashed with intense lightning, and her body shrank by about one third.

Perhaps the students off the field and the teachers on the viewing platform could not see what happened inside the stomach space, and they didn’t even know how Lei Long died.

But Wanxing could see it clearly through the vision shared by Xingyi.

The already weak Thunder Dragon lost its connection with the [Thunder Dragon Ring] after being swallowed into the stomach space.

Without the control of its master, Hachioji, the Thunder Dragon is just a ball of pure thunder element and has no offensive power.

However, the creator of the [Thunder Dragon Ring] had already considered this and set up the self-destruct magic in advance. Once the caster's control is lost, the Thunder Dragon will self-destruct on the spot to avoid being controlled or absorbed by the enemy.

The thunder dragon, stunned in the stomach space, was silent for only a second, and then turned into a huge blue thunder ball with a little white light in the center, and then exploded the next moment, forming a terrifying lightning storm.

Because the destructive power generated by the lightning storm exceeded the tolerance of the stomach space in a short period of time, a small amount of thunder element leaked out and caused some damage to Xingyi.

However, with the help of the [Super-Speed ​​Regeneration] talent, Xingyi quickly recovered.

This was also the first time Wanxing saw Xingyi use this talent, as she had never been injured before.

Seeing the Thunder Dragon being dealt with in the blink of an eye, Hachioji was horrified and used another heroic equipment, the [Ring of Judgment].

"Light of Judgment!"

I saw a beam of light descending from the sky and heading towards the stars.

At the same time, Duke Russell, who was sitting in the main seat on the viewing platform, had a slightly changed expression. He put down his wine glass and stared solemnly at the [Ring of Judgment] on the Eighth Prince's finger. He said coldly, "Your Highness the Eighth Prince is indeed favored. He actually owns two pieces of heroic equipment!"

Beside him sat a middle-aged man in ornate armor. He smiled upon hearing this and said, "Haha, although my worthless nephew isn't the first heir to the throne, he's been promoted to a super-rank at such a young age. He's also a man of integrity, uprightness, and virtue! I believe that every decision made by the supreme emperor, including bestowing so much heroic equipment upon the Eighth Prince, must have a deeper purpose, perhaps concerning the struggle for the throne..."

Having said that, the middle-aged man stopped talking and continued with a forced smile, "Don't worry, brother Russell. My nephew is kind-hearted and will act with discretion. He will definitely not harm your life."

This middle-aged man is the leader of the Imperial Capital's [Justice] Law Enforcement Knights, and his sister is the biological mother of the Eighth Prince and one of the Magic Emperor's concubines!

Originally, he was supposed to bring people to Russell City on the weekend to investigate Longgu Kaiwu's treason.

But after hearing that his nephew was going to participate in a combat competition today, the middle-aged man rushed over early to cheer for his nephew.

Duke Russell looked at the smug look in the middle-aged man's eyes and suddenly felt depressed and regretted secretly:

My son Wanxing has the potential to become an emperor. To better hone him, I deliberately didn't equip him with heroic-level equipment, lest he develop a dependency... Now it seems he's going to suffer a great loss. If I had known earlier, I would have taken out the two spare heroic-level equipment from the treasury and given them to him...

Thinking of this, Duke Russell sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

In reality, his concerns were overblown. Wanxing, already prepared, immediately manipulated Xingyi's [Space Teleport] to hover above him. He then used [Universal Transformation] to transform into a turquoise umbrella, devouring the incoming beam of light. This devouring ability wasn't limited to organic or inorganic objects, but also encompassed skills and magic.

However, this does not mean that you can sit back and relax. The Light of Judgment is not a magic that disappears after one strike. Instead, it just stays there, causing continuous judgment damage to the enemy.

So Wanxing didn't just stand there and get beaten stupidly. With the activation of [Space Movement], Wanxing and Xingyi appeared behind Hachioji and swung their swords!

"Fuck, a super-class warrior who can teleport, this is too much of a cheat!"

Hachioji cursed. For any magician, being approached by a warrior of the same level was a fatal threat.

Fortunately, the information that Wanxing possesses teleportation props has been recorded in detail in textbooks.

Therefore, Hachioji had anticipated this and took out the heroic earth magic scroll [Earth Shield] that he had prepared in advance from his storage ring and unfolded it. The next moment, a layer of khaki light shield protected Hachioji's entire body.

[Earth Shield] This magic is one of the strongest defensive magics at the heroic level, and it also has a special effect. As long as the caster stands on the ground, the shield will continuously be replenished with the power of the earth.

Simply put, other shields can be worn away little by little through attacks.

But this shield doesn't work because it can automatically recover. It can only be forcibly broken by relying on the power of a higher level, or waiting for the skill duration to end and automatically dissipate.

In a combat competition where only super-class students are the strongest, how could there be any students who possess brilliant-level weapons or props? Using this kind of magic is really too shameless, it's really shameless!

But Hachioji doesn't care!

He thought smugly about his next plan. The son of the Duke of Russell couldn't possibly possess a weapon of the Brilliant rank. After all, it was a treasure not even a prince like him possessed! So, he was now invincible. He could slowly humiliate Ten Thousand Stars Russell and not let him lose too easily.

However, Hachioji's pride lasted less than 1 second, and he found that the sword in Wanxing's hand cut through the [Earth Shield] like cutting through paper!

Although Wanxing has not yet been upgraded to LV50 and cannot exert the special effects of [Holy Sword Fireworks], the legendary quality of this sword is unquestionable. It is simply a waste of talent and a dimensionality reduction attack to deal with the mere [Earth Shield]!

The sword shone with brilliant light, breaking through two shields in a row. In front of Hachioji's stunned and disbelieving eyes, it pierced his chest just one centimeter away, stopping just short of the target.

If Wanxing wants to kill Hachioji now, even the magic shield provided by the giant arena can't save him!

But killing the prince in public was tantamount to rebellion. Before reaching Level 70, Wanxing wasn't sure he could completely overthrow the entire Magic Empire. A hasty war with the royal family could lead to unexpected consequences and even hinder his monster-killing and leveling efforts.

It would be better to take advantage of the current relatively comfortable external environment and develop in a low-key manner for a while, which will help solve the problem faster and safer.

Chapter 70: Harvested Flying Props

The moment he saw Wanxing's sword pierce Hachioji's chest, the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai became anxious and stood up on the spot to save people.

However, the depressed Duke Russell seized the opportunity to block his way and then used his own tactics to comfort him: "Don't worry, my son is kind-hearted and will act with discretion. He will definitely not harm the Eighth Prince's life."

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed for a moment after hearing this, and after seeing that Wan Xing had indeed stopped talking, the middle-aged man pretended to be calm and sat down.

When Hachiko felt the pain in his chest, he looked down and saw the bright red blood seeping through and staining his clothes. He screamed in fear and retreated frantically trying to get away from Wanxing's pursuit. Finally, he fell off the ring in a mess. In fact, this was the first time that Hachiko had been injured and bled in the true sense, and it was also the closest moment to death since he was a child, so he was so terrified and excited.

"The winner is Ten Thousand Stars Russell!"

The principal's announcement finally sounded, but the competition on the No. 2 ring next door had already ended.

If Claires was willing to use the power of pleasure in her body, she could still compete with Davilia for victory.

But she discovered that after the last competition, the mysterious power she had used up could never be restored!

Is it possible that this mysterious power only has so much, and if we use it a little, it will be less?

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. Claires believes that the mysterious power should be used to save lives at critical moments, so she is reluctant to waste it during the competition.

At least she won't use it indiscriminately until she finds a way to restore her mysterious power.

Without using the power of pleasure, Claires naturally could not defeat Davilia, who had awakened three-ninths of the witch's physique.

"Finals of the combat competition, Wanxing Russell versus Davilia!"

The principal then read out the list of finalists.

However, this final, which should have been the most exciting, made the students watching in the audience cry out in disappointment!

Because Wanxing won again without fighting!

Due to the high submission rate of 50%, and the fact that Davilya knew she couldn't beat him, she might as well act good, so she simply admitted defeat.

Wanxing was of course happy about this, as it saved time and effort, and he could also finish the game earlier, gain some experience points from Davilia, or collect more interest from Claires!

After the actual combat competition is over, the rewards distribution session that everyone loves to see will naturally begin.

As Wan Xing stepped off the stage, he heard the principal begin a long and boring speech: "Every student at our Russell Academy has good character, outstanding talent, and diligent training. Especially the top eight in the actual combat competition are the best among the students. They have become quite powerful. Duke Russell and I are very pleased..."

Normally, students wouldn't like to listen to such a long speech, but this was the time to distribute rewards, so they endured it and listened patiently to the principal's voice.

“Achievements must be rewarded, so that positive feedback can be used to motivate young people to continue working hard and strengthen Russell Academy!”

"Every student who participates in the actual combat competition will receive an encouragement award of 1,000 gold coins, and each person will have one additional day of use in the training room!"

As the name suggests, a training room uses magic stones and magic circles to artificially create a high-magic environment to speed up training. However, this consumes a large amount of magic stones, so it cannot be provided to all students in the school. It can only be distributed as a reward. Or students can hand in magic stones themselves to exchange for usage time.

Of course, Wanxing had never been to the school's training room, so it had never been mentioned before.

For example, ordinary students need to borrow the school's contract magic circle to contract a familiar, but Wanxing has one in his storage ring, so he doesn't need to borrow the one from the school.

The same goes for the training room. Ordinary students need to borrow the school's training room, but Wanxing has a better one at home, and the luxurious dormitory also has a similar magic circle.

Moreover, the current Wanxing leveled up by killing monsters, not by practicing. Cultivation resources like the practice room were directly given to the little maid Luo Ai'er.

"On top of this basic reward, the top eight students can practice a heroic-level fighting skill or magic, and receive an additional week of training room time!"

As a student of Russell Academy, the knowledge of cultivation at the apprentice, elementary, intermediate, advanced and super levels is free. You can ask the teacher directly or go to the library to check.

However, the cultivation knowledge at the hero level is different. Students must be confirmed to work for the Duke's Mansion before they are eligible to learn.

This is also one of the means to ensure that those sponsored talented students will not breach the contract: knowledge monopoly, unless those talented students find a better backer, joining the Duke's Mansion is a win-win choice.

In short, it is impossible to learn heroic-level cultivation knowledge under normal circumstances, so it appears here in the form of rewards.

"In addition to all the above rewards, the top four students can also choose a super-class weapon or super-class item! They will also receive an additional month of training room usage!"

As the principal announced the rewards one by one, he even took out four super-class equipment in the end - [San Ye Dui Jian], [Magic Floating Cloak], [Starlight Crown], and [Blood Jade Ring]!

The students in the stands looked at the contestants participating in the actual combat with envy, especially the few who made it to the quarterfinals, who attracted the most attention.

As the first place in the competition, Wanxing has the priority to choose super-class equipment.

Although he was not very interested in these super-class equipment, he still stood out among the short ones and picked out the best [Magic Floating Cloak]!

This thing looks very similar to Doctor Strange's levitation cloak, but the actual effect is far worse!

First of all, as an ancient artifact, the levitation cloak is almost indestructible and can be used as a shield to protect the user from physical and magical attacks.

But the [Magic Floating Cloak] is not like that. It can only withstand attacks below the super level at most. It will be easily destroyed by attacks above the super level.

Secondly, the levitation cloak is alive and has independent consciousness. It can help Doctor Strange in battle and can be used as a weapon to attack or capture opponents.

The [Magic Floating Cloak] has no independent consciousness and relies entirely on the user to control it.
