Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 198 Suppression of the Plant System
Lan Xi saw that Wang Yue Qianxun ultimately suppressed her fighting spirit and did not make a move, and revealed a slightly disappointed smile.

"Boring."

She sighed softly, then her eyes turned cold, and her demonic energy surged violently around her.

In an instant, ripples of a deep blue appeared on the ground beneath her feet, as if the entire space had transformed into a deep sea.

"Wow——!"

A surging wave suddenly appeared out of nowhere, roaring like an angry dragon as it swept towards the four people opposite.

The waves were not ordinary water, but a magical tide imbued with powerful magical energy. Wherever it passed, the air trembled and the ground cracked.

Before the four students could even react, the giant wave reflected in their pupils crashed down!
"boom--!"

With a dull thud, the four people were violently thrown into the air like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily dozens of meters away.

Their defensive magical artifacts shattered the moment they touched the waves, leaving them no chance to resist before they fell into a coma.

The venue was shrouded in mist and eerily silent.

Lan Xi slowly withdrew her magical energy, and the surrounding waves disappeared like the receding tide, as if they had never existed.

She glanced indifferently at her opponent, who lay sprawled on the ground, and said softly:
"I told you, even if you all come at me together, it won't work."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a mess and countless shocked gazes.

Jiang Shaoxu and Ai Jiangtu both gave Lan Xishu a thumbs up.

Lan Xi single-handedly wiped out all the opposing guards, and with an overwhelming advantage.

Everyone present from the Sakura Kingdom felt utterly humiliated.

At this moment, an elderly clansman with white hair slowly walked out of the spectator stands, his withered fingers stroking his sandalwood cane.

The remaining water elements in the venue automatically dispersed beneath his feet, forming a dry passage.

His cloudy eyes swept over the unconscious students, finally settling on Lan Xi: "We did lose this match, but it would be too hasty for the National Academy competition to end like this."

"May I ask if there are any other outstanding talents in your country who could offer their guidance?"

They all felt Lan Xi's formidable strength during this battle, but it would be too frustrating for it to end like this.

So they didn't want to fight Lan Xi anymore and said they wanted to experience the magic of others.

Then Mochizuki Chika stepped forward, untied her hair ribbon, letting her black hair cascade down like a waterfall, her plain white hunting robe fluttering in the surging magic energy.

"Please enlighten me." Mochizuki Chizuru looked directly at the National Team members, a bluish-gray halo appearing at her fingertips. "You can also send a few more people." She deliberately ignored Lan Xi, her gaze shifting between Ai Jiangtu and the others.

At this moment, status and rules were no longer important; she had to win a match to barely make up for the humiliation of their recent defeat.

Ai Jiangtu said, "I'll handle it." He sensed that this woman was not easy to deal with.

However, Mu Nujiao stepped forward first and said, "Captain, leave her to me."

Mochizuki Chika also looked at Mu Nujiao in the distance, and she had a strange feeling about her.

Then Mu Nujiao stepped forward and said, "I am enough on my own."

Please advise.

Then, a faint gray-blue light flashed from Mochizuki Chika's fingertips.

Eighteen seeds shaped like ghost faces shot out, and the moment the seeds landed, the entire granite ground peeled off layer by layer like rotting tree bark.

Seven vines, each as thick as an adult's waist, burst forth from the ground. These mutated plants gleamed with a metallic sheen, their trunks covered in barbs, and their giant flower buds at the top contained sharp, white teeth.

In the blink of an eye, these vines formed a death maze, completely surrounding Mu Nujiao.

The thorny vines at the very front have already arched their backs, poised to strike like cobras.

Mu Nujiao closed her eyes. Suddenly, a soft, dawn-like light burst forth from her hand, and the menacing, ghostly steel thorns trembled involuntarily.

The tip of the vine closest to her began to soften strangely, and after the metallic sheen faded, it revealed tender green buds!

"Huh?! How could this be?"

All the thorns on the vines were shrinking at a visible rate, and the poisonous spores were turning into nutrients and dissipating before they even got close to Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao's plant type was enhanced by the branches of the Emperor-level Jade Tree, making her far superior to ordinary plant-type spirit seeds, which instilled fear in the opponent's plant-type spirit seeds.

Then Mu Nujiao slowly raised her right hand. When she spread her five fingers, the entire venue suddenly resounded with a rustling sound like a tide. It was not the Ghost Thorn Flower from Wangyue Qianxun, but a large number of dormant seeds from deep underground that were awakening at the same time!
An emerald halo rippled outwards from her center.

The ground touched by the light instantly turned into fertile soil, and countless crystal-clear branches sprouted from the earth.

The surface of these branches shimmered with a liquid jade-like luster.

Mu Nujiao took a light step forward.

Nine thick, emerald-green vines suddenly sprang from the cracks in the stone slabs beneath her feet, each topped with a golden crown over two meters in diameter. These flowers scattered shimmering light as they swirled.

"The Jade Throne of the Netherworld."

With that whisper, the nine main vines suddenly intertwined to form a massive crown-like tree.

As Mu Nujiao sat upright on it, the surrounding plants began to grow wildly.

Her Ghost Steel Thorns had all betrayed her. The gray-blue vines were now covered with emerald buds, feeding back the magical energy they had absorbed to their new master.

Seeing this, Mochizuki Chika finally realized what was wrong. Ever since Mu Nujiao arrived, her plant-type spirit seed had felt a great suppression.

As a high-level mage specializing in plant magic, she never imagined that one day she would encounter such complete suppression—the ghost vine she activated with her spirit seed was now trembling as if it had encountered a natural enemy, completely disobeying her command!

Then, a dense gray-blue magical light erupted from her body as Mochizuki Chika unleashed her plant-type domain, attempting to regain control of the Oni Vine.

“It’s no use,” Mu Nujiao said softly, her fingertips lightly stroking a ghost vine that was trying to get close to her.

The once menacing vine immediately lost its gray luster, becoming as translucent as jade, and even sprouting a small golden flower at its tip.

"Faced with the overwhelming power of the Emerald Tree Lord, ordinary plant-based magic would be utterly powerless."

Mochizuki Chika staggered back two steps, her face as pale as paper.

She could clearly feel that the domain she had created was being eroded in reverse!

She had no choice but to change her playing style.

"Water Splendor Sky Curtain - Begins!"

With a clear shout, thousands of glistening water droplets suddenly condensed on the dome of the venue.

These water droplets intertwine rapidly as they fall, forming an arc-shaped water curtain that stretches for hundreds of meters in mid-air.

“Sizzle—”

The moment the emerald vines touched the water curtain, a piercing screeching sound echoed throughout the venue.

The sharp vine tips that were capable of piercing through magical artifacts were now being blocked by layers of flowing water.

Mu Nujiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

She saw that the foremost few branches of the vine had broken and were drifting helplessly in the barrier with the flow of water.

"Interesting." Mu Nujiao smiled slightly.

She suddenly exerted force with her left hand, unleashing a burst of intense light.
