Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 163 Confrontation, Round

The "leaders" of the six major wizard forces are all wizards whose spiritual power has reached the third level, but this does not mean that there are only six third-level wizards in this competition.

In fact, whether it is the Thunder Council, the Scarlet Tower, or even the Black Nightmare Swamp and the Molten Crystal Lake, there is more than one third-level wizard genius.

They are also the focus of this competition. Compared with the "leaders" of their respective forces, they are only slightly inferior in combat power and talent.

When the first third-level wizard genius appeared on the stage, the atmosphere on the field officially became heated, and the topics and discussions raised by Ronan before were quickly covered up.

The showdown between level two members is not the real highlight of this competition. The main competition among the various forces is the strength between members above level three.

The first round of thirty matches lasted from the brilliant stars to the dawn, and finally reached its climax with the early "collision" of two third-level wizard geniuses.

One of the two opponents in the duel is a third-level wizard genius named "Gattuso" from the Black Nightmare Swamp. This person seems to have been famous for a long time and has a great reputation in the circles of second-level wizards of several major forces. Ronan keeps hearing people around him talk about Gattuso.

Gattuso's opponent is the first genius of the Silver Ring - "Four-Color Metal" Orion.

The four originally independent fighting arenas were now completely occupied by the dense blue light that flowed out from one of the arenas.

These pale blue lights were different from the feeling of releasing ice spells. Instead, they were closer to the color of phosphorescence in a cemetery. They hovered in the sky above the four fighting arenas like living things. Every time they gathered and dispersed, they gave people a strong sense of uneasiness.

Gattuso, wearing a black robe and with a deep and gloomy temperament, stood in the middle of the countless blue lights. In his right hand, he held a strangely shaped black staff. The staff was very short, and the overall shape was like the skinned and dried corpse of a six-legged lizard.

The almost constant blue light surrounding it was emitted from the eyes of the lizard corpse on this strange staff.

"【Tide of Evil Spirits】!"

Gattuso uttered strange spell syllables, and under his control, countless blue lights hovering in the sky rushed madly towards a position in the center of the battle group.

There, Orion stood tall, with light golden hair flowing like light, and a huge energy field lingering around him. The force fields combined to form a huge green crystal energy body, flashing a brilliant luster that was almost tangible, just wrapping Orion in it.

"【Four Colors-Emerald Crystal】!"

"Boom bang bang-"

A large amount of blue light continuously impacted the huge green energy crystal, making a series of dull or crisp sounds, but it was unable to penetrate the surface of the crystal.

Orion was filled with a powerful aura and had a calm expression. He walked towards Gattuso step by step, facing the tide of blue light.

The latter had a gloomy look in his eyes. After realizing that the spell could not break Orion's defense, he immediately waved the staff in his hand. A powerful and strange mysterious aura flowed out of his body, forming a huge and terrifying magic domain in an instant.

Countless blue lights in the sky stopped attacking Orion one after another, and the sky went from extremely active to extremely quiet, falling into an eerie calm.

Orion seemed to sense something, and he stopped quietly and raised his head slightly.

The next moment, Gattuso, who was enveloped by countless magical auras, had a terrifying blue light in his eyes and quickly pointed a finger at Orion.

"A resonance of the domain, [Tiklan's evil appearance - Soul-eating ghost fish]!"

In an instant, countless still blue lights transformed into an extremely huge and turbulent vortex, which seemed to be a real vortex, and even cold liquid splashed out of it.

A thick smell of decay and decadence emanated from the vortex, and large patches of black appeared in the void, as if a huge and corrupt black swamp was rapidly spreading.

Orion raised his hand, and the huge green energy crystal protecting his body lit up, but before he could do anything.
"Roar--"

An ancient and terrifying roar sounded in the void. From the huge dark blue vortex and the corrupt black swamp, a hideous-looking ancient piranha suddenly jumped out.

An ancient, brutal, and wild aura instantly filled the field. A huge, rotten, half-virtual piranha, whose white bones could almost be seen, opened its huge mouth and swallowed Orion, the center of the battle group, whole!
But before the onlookers could be shocked and surprised, the next moment the magical vision of the giant ancient piranha's domain exploded.

"Boom!"

The decayed and dilapidated ancient atmosphere on the field was instantly swept away by another extremely powerful domain. The huge dark blue vortex in the sky completely collapsed, and the black swamp was shattered.
The blinding fire pushed away everything, and then, Orion, wrapped in a huge red crystal, appeared again.

At this moment, there was no part of Orian's body that did not shine dazzlingly. The red-gold flames flowed along his body like lava. Countless powerful magic domains and auras intertwined, tearing and melting everything.

"【Four Colors—Molten Crystal】!"

Orion raised his hand.

Countless narrow and sharp crystal pillars as sharp as swords immediately grew out of the red crystal outside his body. In just a moment, they pierced through the void and reached Gattuso's forehead.

"."

Gattuso stood there motionless, his body stiff. His already pale cheeks became even paler, with even tiny beads of sweat oozing out.

His expression changed drastically, as if he was unwilling to give up, but in front of the magic crystal thorn that was so close that it could easily pierce his head in the next second, he finally...
Still gave up resistance.

Gattuso's aura dissipated like the ebbing tide. He looked dejected. He dropped his staff heavily and whispered, "I lost."

The surrounding area fell into silence for a moment, and a few seconds later, a huge commotion and discussion broke out.

The battle between the three-level wizards ended with Orion's victory.

Orion, who was the first to defeat an opponent of the same level, became the focus of everyone's attention. However, he did not leave the field immediately. Instead, he cast his sharp eyes like a blade in the direction of the Thunder Council and the almighty Jupiter.

Jupiter responded calmly, and their eyes met, and there seemed to be invisible sparks flying in the air.

Then, Orion turned around and left the court.

"Is this the so-called 'composite spell of metal and elements'?"

In the audience, Ronan watched the battle between Orion and Gattuso quietly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This was the first time Ronan watched a duel between third-level wizards. After watching the whole battle, Ronan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

A resonance of domain of law, at the level of a second-level wizard, can be considered amazing. Once performed, it can often determine the outcome of a battle.

But at the third level, the power of a domain resonance seems a little "not enough".

No, to be precise, the power of the magic domain resonance derived from the low-level spells seems a bit "weak" at the level of a third-level wizard.

There is no high or low grade in the magic domain, but the spells derived from the magic domain have differences in strength.

For example, the last domain resonance that Gattuso used in the Black Nightmare Swamp - [Tiklan's Fierce Appearance - Soul-Eating Ghost Fish].

If Ronan was not mistaken, it should be derived from the first-level dark spell [Piranha Soul].

An ordinary first-level dark spell, the effect is to summon an illusory piranha to bite the opponent. After reaching a certain level of domain resonance, the opponent will comprehend the ferocious appearance of the ancient piranha. If it is a second-level wizard, this power is absolutely fierce and invincible. But in the competition between third-level wizards, this move is downgraded.

The power of a third-level spell itself is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of a first-level spell. Even if the latter derives a resonant power of the domain, it can only make up for this gap. If the former's proficiency is also very high, and even derives extraordinary power of the domain, it still has an overwhelming advantage over the latter.

Not to mention, the third-level spell cast by Orion was not an ordinary third-level spell, but a third-level compound spell that was far more complex and sophisticated than an ordinary third-level spell.

It was reasonable for Gattuso to lose, at least he was much worse than Orion in terms of his comprehension of magic.

"Then is it wrong for me to focus on practicing low-level spells? After all, the power of the extraordinary domains that I have mastered are all zero-level in nature, not even first-level.
As our strength continues to improve, these methods will only be gradually eliminated."

Ronan thought quietly, constantly turning the space ring on his left ring finger.

This is a small habit of his. He does it subconsciously every time he thinks about a problem. It seems that this can inspire more inspiration.

"No, it can't be considered a mistake. It can only be considered another direction of development, another choice of specialization."

Ronan stopped what he was doing, his eyes calmed down, and he already had the answer in his mind.

"If Gattuso had comprehended the second stage instead of the first stage of the domain resonance, the outcome of the battle with Orion might have been different."

"He failed because his understanding of the law domain was not deep enough."

"If the power of the first resonance is not enough, then go to the second. If the second is not enough, then go to the third. In addition, there are multiple superpositions of domains, and the fusion of different domains.
Even above the extraordinary level of the power of the law domain, there are higher and stronger realms!"

"Who says that a low-level, entry-level spell of level zero will never be comparable to a forbidden spell?"

Ronan felt that it would be truly foolish for him to abandon the realm of magic that he had spent so much time and energy to comprehend and instead delve into studying advanced magic.

Of course, this does not mean that Ronan will rely on low-level spells to "conquer the world" in the future.

After the level is increased, the spells will be updated, and you must learn high-level spells. You just have to see whether it is suitable for you and whether it is worth investing a lot of energy to study in depth?
This involves each person's combat style and the construction of their own spell system.

"As a wizard grows, the combat system is constantly being optimized and adjusted."

The combination and selection of different spells, how to build a combat system that best suits oneself and can best exert one's combat power is also a place to show a wizard's talent and genius.

After some thought, Ronan found that although his strength had not changed much, he felt that the road ahead had become clearer and the direction of his goal had become more firm and definite, which could be considered another form of improvement.

What Costi said was right. Watching this kind of large-scale talent competition is very helpful in improving a wizard's vision.

And experience is also one of the decisive factors in determining how far a wizard can go in the future.

"Gattuso was once the top talent in the Black Nightmare Swamp, but was later defeated by Angele and now he is defeated by Orion, becoming the first third-level wizard to be eliminated.
After this, my reputation will probably be greatly affected."

Clemens whispered in Ronan's ear.

Ronan looked up and saw Gattuso, who had been defeated, slowly returning to the Black Nightmare Swamp. He gave off an aura that said "keep away from others".

Someone close to him walked up to him and seemed to want to comfort him, but he drove them away with a grim look.

Gattuso sat in an unattended corner, withdrawing into a dark shadow.

Some people shine brightly, while others fall from the clouds.

this is the truth.

The first round of competition did not end until dusk the next day.

Without any pause, the second round began immediately.

Sixty people were competing, and in the second round, half of them were left. Only three people had the Silver Ring, namely Orion, Ronan, and another late level 2 Ring wizard.

The expressions of the two ring masters, Caroni and Aqido, who led the team, did not change much.

The Silver Ring was not considered strong among the six major wizard forces, and because of its special inheritance, such a result was within the expectations of the two after one round.

In this competition, the most important thing for the Silver Ring is Orion's performance.

As for the others, it all depends on luck.

Ronan had good luck in the first round of competition, as he faced a Black Nightmare Swamp wizard whose strength was not outstanding, but his luck in the second round was obviously not so good.

It can even be considered bad.

The remaining soul lights in the colorful light ball intertwined and collided, and two beams of light fell, one fell on Ronan, and the other locked onto a plant wizard from the Palace of Thorns.

The latter is of medium build, with a fair and delicate baby face, and looks ordinary.

The mental fluctuations emanating from his body...are possessed by only a third-level wizard!

"Damian Andor."

He is the chief of this generation of the Thorn Palace and one of the few seeded players in this competition.

Many people have heard of Damian's name, including some veteran third-level wizards from various forces.

Seeing that Ronan's opponent was Damian, Caroni called Ronan over and gave him serious instructions before he went on the court.

"Damien, just do your best. You don't have to force yourself to win."

Ronan nodded to show that he understood, then calmly turned around and went on stage.

"It seems that this kid didn't listen to your words..."

Aqido was watching closely from the side and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think his chances of winning a fight with Damian are?"

“If he activates the power of his bloodline, he will have a certain chance even against Damian who is at level three.

But how confident are we of winning?"

After pondering for a while, Caroni still couldn't make an accurate judgment and could only shake his head to say, "It's hard to say."
