Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 159 Li Yu: One person is enough!

In the preparation area, Li Yu and the three Wenming were waiting for the end of the game. This was the third battle that the four of them were about to have after forming a team. After this battle, the temporary team of four would be disbanded and redistributed.

Just like the first game, the four of them showed overwhelming strength in the second battle and defeated their opponents.

But after the list of opponents for the third match was announced, Li Yu began to grin.

"How did you meet her?"

Li Yu's worried look did not escape his teammates. Wen Ming had a good impression of this team leader and took the initiative to ask:
"What's wrong, Li Yu, is the opponent this time very difficult?"

“Not very tricky.”

Li Yu said, before Wen Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Yu added again,

“It’s a very tricky one.”

"The most difficult person to deal with is their captain Ding Yumian."

That's right, Li Yu was unlucky enough to run into Ding Yumian who was also participating in the nomination preliminaries. Even though he knew that the two would inevitably meet as the preliminaries progressed, when this actually happened, Li Yu still felt mixed emotions.

"Ding Yumian? The school beauty from Huo Academy?"

Wenming was familiar with the so-called ranking of the most beautiful school girls, and when he heard the name, Ding Yumian's appearance came to mind.

Obviously, compared to Ding Yumian's strength ranking, her outstanding appearance is more widely known.

But Li Yu quickly reminded:
"Don't take it lightly. Her psychic abilities should be much stronger than Mingya's."

Hearing about the Psychic Department, the usually gentle Ming Ya also raised her head, with a fighting spirit in her eyes. It was not a very pleasant thing to be told by others that she, a student in the top 20 of the Psychic Department, was worse than the people in the Fire Academy.

Wen Ming looked at Li Yu's solemn reminder and felt a little weak.

"Isn't it?"

"Believe me, she is strong enough to compete for the top three in the Fire Academy."

Noticing the changes in the three people's expressions, Li Yu also comforted them:
"But you don't have to worry. Her target is most likely me."

"After the game starts, I will hold her back. You just need to deal with her three teammates first."

At this time, Li Yu looked across, only to find that Ding Yumian, who had already arrived, was also looking at this side. Their eyes met in mid-air and then separated, and they smiled at each other.

While Li Yu was arranging the tactics, Ding Yumian was not idle either. He turned around and assigned tasks to the team members behind him. After the first two battles, Ding Yumian also established prestige in this team.

"Long Yu, when the game starts, use earth magic to form a barrier in front of us. Remember, you don't need to consider the defense, as long as it can block the line of sight."

Long Yu frowned. He didn't understand the purpose of this arrangement. Blocking the line of sight is a two-way thing. Once they lose the whereabouts of the other party, they will be in trouble.

But out of trust in Ding Yumian, Long Yu nodded.
"No problem, what else do you need me to do?"

"In addition to the earth element, use all your elementary ice element magic to cover our half as quickly as possible."

"Okay." Creating a good battlefield environment for yourself is a common tactic of the ice system.

Then Ding Yumian looked at another girl in the team.
"Xiaoying, disappear immediately after the game starts. I will let Xiao Meng create an opportunity for you to approach the girl in orange clothes on the opposite side and eliminate her. Use the method I taught you."

Xiaoying had no objection either. Under Ding Yumian's planning, they easily won two games in a row and now they would not have any doubts.

Ding Yumian looked at the last inconspicuous boy.
"Xiao Meng, at the beginning of the game, use all your plant magic to create enough shadows for Xiaoying's Shadow Escape as quickly as possible using plants."

"Besides Xiaoying, didn't you arrange for anyone else to attack?"

Xiao Meng frowned and pointed out the loophole in Ding Yumian's plan. In Ding Yumian's plan, Long Yu was obviously the defensive position of his side. He was responsible for coordinating the attack of Xiaoying, a shadow mage. The only one who was actually in charge of the main attack was Xiaoying, a shadow mage with weak offensive ability.

To this, Ding Yumian's answer is very simple.
"If you want to attack, leave it to me."

"You? No problem?"

As a psychic mage, Ding Yumian's offensive ability is not outstanding.

"Don't worry, there will be someone on the other side to help us. It's not cheating, but the kind that's fair and aboveboard."

Looking at Ding Yumian's mysterious and confident smile, the three team members couldn't help but express their conviction.

When the two teams stood in the ring, out of caution, Wenming had released a rock demon summoned beast that had just stepped into the ranks of a warrior according to the rules, and the blade of the demon-slaying weapon in Li Yu's hand appeared.

As the referee announced the start of the game, Long Yu directly controlled the ground beneath his feet, and a fragile earth wall nearly two meters high rose from the ground. Since it was not real magic, the defense of this earth wall was almost non-existent, and even basic magic could destroy it. But these were not what Long Yu needed to consider, he was only responsible for building walls, repairing walls, and laying floors.

Li Yu rushed out after completing the wind track with a thought. Then, as if he had predicted it, a huge fireball suddenly appeared on the path he had to pass.

"Fire explodes!" Hearing the familiar sound, Li Yu showed a bitter smile. It was too familiar. Ding Yumian was too familiar with his movement path and even knew his commonly used attack trajectory.

but……

This won't stop him!
The fireball exploded, directly affecting a space with a diameter of twenty meters. Contrary to many people's expectations, Li Yu's speed increased instead of decreasing, and he instantly rushed into the center of the explosion.

"call out!"

The sharp blade flashed, splitting the burning flames. Li Yu, who rushed out of the flames, had his shirt burned, revealing his strong muscles inside. The blade moved forward, aiming straight at Ding Yumian in front of him.

The latter was not in a hurry at all. He deployed his shield, armor and magic tools at the same time. His boots glowed and his speed increased instantly.

The magic-slaying device was blocked outside the magic shield device. After sparring with Li Yu, Ding Yumian had already updated his equipment. He even had one more magic-shoeing device than Li Yu. In addition, he was familiar with Li Yu's movement pattern. Although it was still difficult for him to keep up with Li Yu's movements, he could still delay Li Yu for five seconds.

And in these short five seconds, there is a lot she and her teammates can do.

such as……

Behind Li Yu, his teammate Lin Jiaming was also brewing a violent mid-level thunder magic. The psionic mage originally planned to use psionic interference, but when she saw Ding Yumian and Li Yu fighting, she was worried that her good intentions would lead to bad results, so she chose to release the thunder seal to penetrate the earth wall, forcing Li Yu to change his target of attack.

The earth wall was shattered, and although it was quickly repaired by Long Yu, Ming Ya still noticed that there were only two people left behind the wall.

"They're missing one man!"

Mingya just shouted this and quickly looked around. Suddenly, she was shocked to find that green sprouts and vines had grown on the ground at some point and were spreading rapidly. A black shadow was moving very quickly in the shadows under the vines.

At this time, Lin Jiaming's thunderbolt had been brewing. She did not attack the black shadow in vain, nor did she interfere with Li Yu's fight. Instead, she relied on her memory to let the thunder fall directly on Xiao Meng's position. Knowing Xiao Meng, a master of plants, she knew that the other party had no defensive magic. If she dealt with him, these plants would naturally disappear.

Even if she can't hit the target, it doesn't matter. The effect of her spirit seed is enough to cover the range of the opponent's earth wall, which will definitely cause interference.

Green lightning fell, and amid the roar of thunder, the fragile earth wall maintained by Long Yu collapsed overnight, revealing a figure wearing armor and magic tools inside.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaming smiled. It was quite a good deal to use a destructive magic to attract the two people's armor and magic tools.

At this time, Wen Ming, who was always a step behind, also completed the contract summoning. Just as he was waiting with a smile for his contracted beast to come out of the whirlpool, Ming Ya's panicked reminder came from behind.
"Famous Escape Shadow!"

Wen Ming subconsciously did as he was told and was about to turn himself into a shadow, but he was still a step too slow. His back seemed to be hit by a truck and he flew out in an instant, hitting the barrier and slowly slid down, losing consciousness on the spot and the vortex slowly retracted.

Until this moment, Wen Ming did not realize that it was his own summoned beast that backstabbed him.

It was true that Wen Ming fainted, but the other two squishy ones were completely exposed to the attack range of the Rock Mage. Ming Ya deeply realized that Li Yu was not exaggerating about Ding Yumian's psychic ability.

While dodging Li Yu's attacks, he could also make the summoned beast rebel instantly before she could react.

"Is this really something a mid-level wizard can do?"

But the current crisis was obviously not the time to think about these things. Facing the Rock Mage who attacked Lin Jiaming, Mingya immediately released a "ripple". To her surprise, the Rock Mage was pacified very easily.

However, before Mingya could be happy, a cold dagger was pressed against her delicate neck. The cold touch made her subconsciously tense up.

Mingya didn't realize at this moment that Ding Yumian's control over the Rock Mage was not strong to begin with, and he could retire after completing the goal of eliminating the famous warrior.

After that, you can use the Rock Mage to attract her attention and provide the Shadow Mage with an opportunity to assassinate her.

But it was too late to understand.

Mingya, eliminated.

Lin Jiaming, the last one among the three, did not struggle for long before he was caught up and entangled by Xiao Meng's ghost vine. He tried to use the shield magic tool and armor magic tool to support until Li Yu came to help, but was knocked down by Xiaoying's other poison insect. The defensive magic tool was completely useless in front of the tiny poisonous insect.

Just when Li Yu was about to break through Ding Yumian's defense line, several ice chains suddenly attacked from behind. Li Yu chopped all the incoming chains with a backhand and retreated temporarily. He sighed when he realized that he was left alone.

"Brother, do you still want to take action?"

Ding Yumian smiled like a villain whose conspiracy had succeeded. At this time, her three teammates also showed a relaxed expression. How could they lose when four were against one?
"what……"

Somewhat contrary to everyone's expectations, Li Yu was not too nervous, but said calmly:
"Senior should know me very well."

"one person…"

"enough!"

The words fell,

"Wind track, afterimage!"
