Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything
Chapter 252 The Last Chance
"Thirty-fifth place?"
Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Xi Nan and Mo Weng, among others, also looked solemn but not anxious.
The real trial has only just begun.
As long as they remain all alive or most of them are not eliminated, their points and rankings will gradually increase.
Most of them were eliminated, leaving only a handful of people struggling in Wizard City, destined to be mere runners-up.
The wizarding cities ranked in the 30s and 40s, such as Red Lotus City and Blue Bay City, share the same idea.
All the wizards were gritting their teeth and persevering.
About half an hour later, the number of wizards on the wasteland had decreased to less than five hundred.
Even Dawn City suffered casualties, with the two injured councilors being the first to appear.
Ji Zhang, Yi Nan, and another member of parliament also began to show signs of weakness.
Pei Ze glanced at the rankings; those outside the top fifty were almost fixed and hadn't changed at all.
These wizard cities were either completely eliminated or left with only one or two members; their fate of being eliminated was already sealed.
Only the top fifty wizard cities are still seeing their rankings change.
Dawn City's ranking has risen to 23rd.
Red Lotus City ranked twenty-seventh.
Blue Bay City followed closely behind, ranking twenty-eighth.
Yin Yongqin glanced at the rankings and nodded to himself.
This result has already met the expectations of the Dawn Council.
Originally, because Pan Mo was missing, they were all mentally prepared to rank outside the top 30 in this Holy Land Qualifying Battle.
Even after Pei Ze joined the group, this idea remained unchanged.
After all, a newly promoted level six wizard cannot significantly change their overall strength.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Pei Ze's displayed strength was in no way inferior to that of a senior level six wizard.
Even more so because of his magical pets, Pei Ze played a greater role on the battlefield than Pan Mo, thus propelling Dawn City into the top thirty.
This achievement is almost equal to the historical record of Dawn City.
It should be noted that Dawn City's best result in the Holy Land Qualification Battle so far has only been seventeenth place, and it has never won a spot in the Holy Land.
But now it seems that breaking the record is a foregone conclusion.
It's not impossible to even get a spot in the Holy Land.
Others may not know, but Yin Yongqin does: Pei Ze hasn't even used his full strength yet.
Another ten minutes or so passed.
Another strange movement was heard in the sky.
The wizards all wore solemn expressions, looking up at the sky, where they saw the Nightmare Serpent Mother's many serpent heads slowly coiling around once again.
This time, a full twenty snake heads emerged, transforming into thick clouds of mist.
The next moment, countless air arrows as thick as water buckets rained down from the sky.
This attack was far more powerful than the previous two.
Before the attack even arrived, all the wizards present suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, as if a heavy burden had rolled down from their hearts, giving them the illusion that they couldn't breathe.
The air froze instantly, pressing in from all directions and binding the wizards in place, unable to move.
Pei Ze took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented threat.
He dared not hold back any longer.
Intense lightning surged forth, forming a thick layer of defense in front of him, followed by a slightly distorted, invisible defense enveloping his entire body.
The air arrow that fell from the sky tore through the lightning almost without hindrance, annihilating it in an instant, and then relentlessly struck down towards Pei Ze.
However, after entering within twenty centimeters of Pei Ze, the speed of the air arrow suddenly slowed down and shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With each step forward, the air arrow shrinks a little.
Although they were only twenty centimeters apart, it felt like they were worlds apart, their energy being constantly eroded by the vast distance between them.
When it was only three or four centimeters away from Pei Ze, the energy arrow finally ran out of energy and dissipated into the air.
Ding Ji and Yin Jin, who had just blocked the arrow with their faces covered in dust, turned around and saw this scene. They both widened their eyes and showed surprise on their faces.
Yin Jin blurted out in disbelief:
"Spatial Rules!"
Yin Jin had a vague suspicion when he saw the arrow strangely deflect when it hit Pei Ze, and now that he saw it, he understood perfectly.
Pei Ze actually comprehended two rules at the same time!
Ding Ji and Yin Jin were both somewhat surprised.
Although the power of rules is not like elemental energy, which can only be fused with one to be converted into energy, very few wizards will actually comprehend two rules at the same time.
The rules are as profound as the sea; it is already extremely difficult to comprehend even one of them.
Many wizards have exhausted tens of thousands of years of their lives just to comprehend a single elemental rule, and never managed to break through that threshold until their death.
Simultaneously comprehending two rules is not as simple as one plus one; it increases the difficulty several times or even ten times.
Since the establishment of the Astral Alliance, there have been wizards who have tried to comprehend two rules at the same time.
Among them are many exceptional geniuses whose talent and aptitude were once astounding.
But over 99% of them ultimately fail and are unable to make a ripple.
Only a handful of people succeeded and became influential figures in the Astral Alliance.
Even so, these people could only comprehend the rules of two elements at the same time.
I've never even heard of someone like Pei Ze who can simultaneously comprehend both the rules of lightning and the highest-level spatial rules.
How is this any different from cutting off one's own path forward?
No, let alone comprehending two rules at the same time, it's already difficult to succeed with just one spatial rule.
Is Pei Ze really that confident in himself?
Ding Ji and Yin Jin could not understand.
"hiss!"
After a volley of arrows, the Nightmare Serpent continued its charge towards the group.
The attack just now wiped out more than half of the wizards, and the rankings of more than a dozen wizard cities immediately stopped changing.
Clearly, everyone is out.
There are now only a little over two hundred wizards left in the wasteland.
Judging from the changes in points, they belong to more than forty wizard cities.
Pei Ze looked around and found that Yi Nan and the other councilor were nowhere to be seen, obviously having "died" in the attack of the air arrows.
Including him, Dawn City now has only five people left, nearly half of them have been eliminated.
However, this is already considered good.
Crimson Lotus City and Blue Bay City are now down to only three or four people.
Some wizarding cities are even left with only one survivor struggling to survive.
Silver Creek City has the best-preserved fighting force, with twelve wizards still forming a formation to resist the Nightmare Serpents surging from all sides.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Silver Creek City will undoubtedly take first place in this Holy Land Qualification Battle.
The Shadow City and Green Forest City still have seven or eight wizards left, and their points are far ahead of the fourth place, so securing a spot in the Holy Land should not be a problem.
"Three spots have already been locked in, and the remaining two spots will be contested by the Wizard City."
Pei Ze killed the Nightmare Serpents while observing the situation.
Although there are still more than forty wizard cities left in the wasteland, only about twenty of them are truly competitive.
As can be seen from the rankings, only the top twenty players are still seeing a significant increase in points; the rest are no longer a threat.
Dawn City's ranking has risen to thirteenth, but the gap with those behind is not large, and it could be overtaken at any time.
Pei Ze finally realized that simply killing Nightmare Serpents was not enough to significantly widen the gap between them.
On the contrary, each attack by the Nightmare Serpent Mother was the main reason for the drastic changes in the rankings.
Each burst of arrows would eliminate some wizard cities from the competition or render them uncompetitive.
In terms of rankings, this means that these wizard cities' rankings stagnate or their points growth slows down, allowing them to be overtaken by other wizard cities.
Therefore, as long as you can safely withstand the attacks of the Nightmare Serpent Mother, your ranking will naturally rise.
Moreover, the further down the ranking, the greater the improvement in rank.
"The next attack should be coming soon."
Pei Ze glanced at the snake head slowly moving in the sky.
As if to confirm his guess, the snake's head moved in a circular motion again.
However, this time things changed drastically from before.
The surrounding Nightmare Serpents froze in unison, then melted rapidly like snow under the sun, turning back into mist that drifted upwards and merged into the Nightmare Serpent Mother's body.
The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, hundreds of snake heads opened their mouths wide and silently roared as they swooped down to devour them.
One of the snake heads fell in the direction that Pei Ze was standing.
The mountain-like serpent head descended like a falling star and moon, instantly giving Pei Ze a chilling feeling.
Without hesitation, he unleashed a barrage of lightning towards the snake's head.
However, the snake head didn't even try to dodge; it directly smashed through the lightning and crashed into Pei Ze like a meteor.
But just as it was about to strike, the snake's head suddenly slowed down.
Taking advantage of that instant, Pei Ze teleported away from his original spot without hesitation, leaping several kilometers away, a trace of lingering fear flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for the help of spatial rules, he would probably have suffered a great loss from that attack.
The snake's head attack was far more powerful than the previous air arrows; the two were simply incomparable in strength.
Looking around, the number of wizards had clearly decreased significantly.
At least a hundred wizards died in that last attack.
Faced with the snake's head attack, most wizards could only dodge. The soul energy attack, which contained the power of rules, struck the snake's head, but had no effect other than stirring up some mist.
Pei Ze even saw that Yin Yongqin was struggling to defend himself against the snake head's attacks, looking quite disheveled.
He had heard Mo Weng mention that Yin Yongqin was comprehending the rules of shadow, and that his comprehension progress had exceeded 50%, making him comparable to a level six wizard who had comprehension progressed to 70-80% of the elemental rules.
However, even such a powerful being was at a disadvantage when facing the snake's head.
This demonstrates the terrifying power of the snake's head.
There are over a hundred of these snake heads!
At this moment, there are fewer than a hundred wizards left in the wasteland.
Almost every wizard has to face a snake head.
A few unlucky ones even have to fight two against one.
The attack missed, and the snake head seemed to be enraged. It roared silently to the sky and pounced with lightning speed, even faster than before.
Pei Ze's expression turned solemn. He had no intention of dodging any longer. With a decisive thought, a crystallized spatial rule deep within his sea of consciousness suddenly shattered, and a surge of powerful energy burst forth.
A faint silver light instantly enveloped Pei Ze's entire body.
He stood motionless, letting the snake's head crash into him like a high-speed train.
To everyone's surprise, the snake's head passed right through Pei Ze's body.
It's as if the latter doesn't exist there at all; what's hovering there now is just a virtual projection.
Among high-level spells, there is a spell that can temporarily transform a human body into a spirit-like being. Although it can be seen in the material world, its true form is actually located in the spirit world, so all attacks are ineffective against it.
Pei Ze is now using a similar ability.
Using spatial rules, he temporarily transferred his physical body to another dimension to avoid the snake's head attack.
After the snake's head had completely passed through his body, Pei Ze instantly left the other dimension and pointed a finger.
Without a sound, the space where the snake's head was located suddenly collapsed and rapidly condensed into a single point.
Before it could even resist, the snake's head twisted and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a long neck made of mist.
Even in the midst of a fierce battle, the intense fluctuations in spatial rules attracted the attention of many wizards.
Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding wizards widened their eyes and gasped.
"The power of spatial rules!"
"Someone has actually comprehended the rules of space!"
"A level six peak wizard? That's a very unfamiliar face; I've never seen one before."
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Although there are very few level-six peak wizards who can use the power of rules, there are still some.
I have never seen anyone use the power of spatial rules.
Who exactly is this person?
The most shocked were Xi Nan and Mo Weng, members of the Dawn Council, as well as Ding Ji and Yin Jin.
They all knew that Pei Ze could use the power of rules, but they had always thought it was the power of lightning rules. Who would have thought that Pei Ze had actually mastered the power of spatial rules!
Although both are powers of rules, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.
"Incredible"
Even someone as knowledgeable and shrewd as Yin Yongqin couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
The power of spatial rules is beyond question.
Even though Pei Ze has only recently advanced to the sixth level of wizardry and his progress in comprehending the rules is at most in the single digits, as long as he can use the power of spatial rules, his combat strength is definitely no less than those of the real peak sixth level wizards.
Coming to their senses, the members of the Dawn Council exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and delight.
They never expected Pei Ze to bring such a big surprise.
The stronger Pei Ze is, the greater the chance that Dawn City will obtain a spot in the Holy Land.
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Pei Ze focused his attention on the rankings.
The moment the snake's head was annihilated, Dawn City's points immediately soared, rising four places to break into the top ten.
"I see, you get points for killing the snake's head."
Pei Ze's eyes flashed as he looked at the snake head slowly reforming in the sky.
Clearly, this is the final stage of the Holy Land Trial.
As long as you kill the snake's head, you can get a much larger number of points than before.
This is also the last chance for each wizarding city to improve its ranking.
After glancing at the remaining eleven spatial rule crystals deep within his sea of consciousness, Pei Ze smiled, his figure flashing as he charged towards the other snake head. (End of Chapter)
