Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 169 You're Pretty Good at Fighting

The surrounding air was buzzing.

"Wakuwaku! (Go, Master! Go, Master! Go!)"

Six water sprites waved rags they used for chores up and down, pretending to be a vibrant cheerleading squad.

Brie half-squatted next to the water sprite, lit a cigarette, and blew out a puff:

"A spiritual storm starts right off the bat, water sprites, your master might be headed to the infirmary, huh?"

Brie looked at Ann, whose white hair was flowing.

This novice mentor seems to have been the champion of the 50th Second-Order Mage Competition at the Royal University of Bei.

The competition at the Royal University of Belgrade is a competition that emphasizes practical skills, and it has resulted in several fatalities.

"I need to stand back a bit, wait, I'm holding the cigarette upside down..."

Brie straightened the cigarette and took out the bandage medicine from his backpack card in advance.

An tiptoed lightly, her blue eyes seemingly seeing through Chen Qi's every move.

Spiritual Storm!

"Is this the first move they're going to use...?" Chen Qi gripped his long sword tightly and kept adjusting his breathing.

A spiritual storm releases massive amounts of spiritual energy, disrupting the opponent's ability to observe spiritual energy and interfering with their spiritual energy construction.

The only drawback is that this move consumes a great deal of energy and requires a very high level of spiritual power.

According to the requirements of the duel at Beiguo University, this move is indeed the most basic move.

However, it's not like there's no way to fight... Chen Qi's hands holding the knife, as well as his legs, were all wrapped in a faint layer of dark energy.

In the storm of spiritual energy, Chen Qi's white dove perception made it difficult to predict the opponent's moves.

Fortunately, he focuses on the power flow of the panel.

The most important characteristic of Qili is his focus on strengthening his own body. Even in the midst of a spiritual energy storm, his attacks will not be slowed down.

It's all about speed now!
A quick attack... Chen Qi summarized the methods of combat.

When dealing with mages, engaging in a war of attrition is a foolish option.

Of course, there's another point: if the two of them practice for too long, this houseboat won't be able to withstand it!

Ann didn't speak, but gently raised her staff, forming a simple ball of spiritual energy.

Basic spell: Spirit Ball!
Almost instantly, a ball of spiritual energy condensed and shot out like a cannonball.

Combined with the spiritual energy storm, it's like a bullet fired from a gun without pulling the trigger!
"His casting speed surpasses that of the Flower Witch? Top-tier stat mages are indeed powerful..."

Chen Qi's eyes flashed, and with the help of his spiritual perception and dynamic vision, he captured the trajectory of the spiritual energy ball.

This spiritual energy is curved...

At this moment, a smile appeared on An's lips. Under normal circumstances, the spirit energy ball, like a bullet, would be launched in a straight line.

Although it was just a simple trick, it worked surprisingly well against superhumans who lacked practical experience.

I'm being treated like a newbie... Chen Qi kicked off with both legs and unleashed an offensive horizontal slash.

Step forward and chop!
The energy ball that attacked from the side was instantly cut in two by the black blade.

"!"

An quickly jumped backward like a light dandelion seed.

Shadow Foot!

Chen Qi's footsteps unleashed black flames, and the instant he severed the spirit energy sphere, his speed tripled, rushing out like a ghostly afterimage!

They were so fast that they were already close to An before An even landed on the bow of the ship!
At this moment, the two were less than a meter apart, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

Two meters!

one meter!
0.5 meters!
You're already within my attack range... Without pausing, Chen Qi used the momentum of his forward movement to shoot out the blade in his hand like flowing water!
Upward!

"Ok?"

An's pupils dilated suddenly, her heartbeat quickened, and she involuntarily gripped her staff tightly.

instinct!

Boom! A massive spiritual energy field converged upwards, forming a cloud, which then rapidly descended!
Spiritual energy bursts forth! A rain of spiritual energy orbs!

Slow-moving fog!

Receive Magic Shield!
With a piercing whistling sound, the two unleashed their attacks simultaneously!
call!
A sudden gust of wind swept across the deck!
"Mom!"

The cigarette that Bri had just put in his mouth was instantly blown crooked by the wind, and sand and dust were blown into his eyes.

What are these two doing? He straightened his cigarette, then slowly opened his eyes to look at the result of the match. There he saw, Ann, holding a staff, standing at the bow of the boat.

Hundreds and thousands of orbs of spiritual energy have gathered in the sky and are about to fall.

However, a sharp, black blade had already broken through the magic shield and was pressed against Ann's neck!
With just a gentle movement, Chen Qi could unleash a strike.

"..."

An looked down at the sharp blade at her neck and said:

"Qi, you are very strong, and you think much faster than I expected."

"..."

Chen Qi looked at the spiritual energy sphere that had already formed in the sky.

In a real battle, the next outcome would likely be that he would be bombarded by a rain of spirit orbs the moment he slashed across An's neck.

Regardless, he successfully approached Ann and placed the blade against her neck.

This was largely due to Ann's slow reaction time, and also because she could only use the most basic spells in this battle.

Chen Qi fell into thought.

If he is engaging in an encounter battle while in the dark.

Perhaps, under the combined effects of the lingering flames and the shattering of flesh and bones, he could indeed injure An.

However, under normal circumstances, there is still no chance of winning.

Now, facing a third-tier superhuman who has mastered the Liberation skill, he can only let the other party trample on him.

The suppressive power of a third-tier transcendent being was stronger than he had imagined.

Chen Qi kept this feeling firmly in his heart:
"Thank you very much, Teacher An. I have learned a lot."

"I have learned something, Qi. I just used a burst of spiritual power, which violated the rule that only basic spells are allowed."

As a second-tier transcendent being, you haven't yet completed the enhancement of your spiritual energy origin. I originally thought you wouldn't be able to detect the trajectory of the spiritual energy ball.

Skills based on the source of spiritual power...

Chen Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

The enhancement of one's spiritual power source can comprehensively improve one's spiritual power skills, and it is also the most important combat power indicator for a second-tier transcendent being.

However, his dove perception and dynamic vision make up for the lack of this skill now.

But that's only a temporary fix. If An were to use a skill that obscures vision while using Spirit Storm, he would become like a headless fly, a toy in An's hands.

Looking exhausted, An simply rested her chin on the knife.
"Qi, with your current strength, you could even put up a fight against the leader of a small gang."

Chen Qi looked at An, who was resting her chin on the knife:
"Um, Teacher An..."

An was not worried at all that he would miss his knife.

Ann blinked:
"what happened?"

"My knife is poisoned."

An looked down at the knife on her neck.

"Ugh?"

A sharp wisp of black energy emanated from the blade, instantly slashing towards An's neck!
An immediately used defensive moves, but even so, blood was still spilled on the deck.

"It hurts!"

An collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching her neck and rolling around on the floor.

The deep-sea spirit wiped away the blood on the ground.

"..."

Chen Qi handed An the bandages for bandaging and a bottle of healing potion.

He hadn't expected An to actually lean directly against the knife.

The Black Blade is a weapon once used by Captain Blackeye, a Tier 3 transcendent, and it deals damage with its own black aura.

Although he now possesses the ability to cleave flesh and bones, the Black Blade is still superior in terms of power without activating the Blade of Fury.

After treating An's injuries, the three of them sat on the side of the boat, staring blankly at the distant sea.

Perhaps because they were too tired recently, the three of them looked at the sea and remained silent for a long time.

Before we knew it, the daylight slowly faded and dusk descended.

As the lighthouse began to shine, Bree lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and broke the silence:
"Master Chef, I initially thought you'd be pinned down by the novice instructor and beaten to a pulp, but I didn't expect you to be so capable."
