Magic High School.

Valerie's armor is a magical artifact that is slowly being upgraded to a Noble Phantasm, even though it was passed down from generation to generation by her ancestors, and it has gradually achieved its current effect.

However, he noted down this information and also expressed some condolences for the senior student who had sacrificed himself, as mentioned by the old dwarf.

Maybe when I have time I can try my luck on the dark web and see if I can find information about that sacrificed senior, and see how he was able to upgrade his magical weapon into a Noble Phantasm.

After all, the experience of having two Noble Phantasms is vastly different from having one.

Just like how he actually envied Li Ge. Li Ge possessed a treasure left by his parents, and while he might be able to surpass him now thanks to his natural advantage as a mutant elf, he would most likely be left far behind as time went on.

Then let's roll it up. In the future, we can find an outsourced website maintenance company, and we can just provide the images and materials, allowing us to devote more time to training.

"Alright, alright, I know you kids don't like listening to an old man's nagging, so go and have some fun," the old dwarf said, taking another big gulp of wine.

Yi Lian immediately headed towards the virtual arena. However, along the way, he began trying to copy other people's Noble Phantasms.

Within a certain range, he can copy any Noble Phantasm he has seen. Now, with the Hand of God, he can store up to five copy slots.

In addition, he can temporarily replicate his own body, so he can use up to six different Noble Phantasms in actual combat.

However, there are drawbacks. God's Hand can only store one copied Noble Phantasm per day, and to unleash its full power, it needs five days to warm up. After warming up, he can become an invincible person with six Noble Phantasms.

Therefore, the temptation of being able to use six Noble Phantasms simultaneously makes the so-called five-day warm-up period insignificant.

Although he can only use two Noble Phantasms today, he can't wait to go to the virtual arena and crush others.

He had already decided what abilities he wanted to replicate.

That was a familiar old friend among their elemental spirits, the one who simply and directly called himself "Dust," the same "Earth Senior" he had been complaining about. His Noble Phantasm was "Heart of the Earth," which allowed him to continuously gain power as long as he stood on the earth of a planet, and also to manipulate the earth and rocks.

A surface-level warrior, but difficult to fight in the air. Once detached from the ground, the controlled earth and rocks instantly become uncontrollable, his feet leave the ground, and the Earth Senior cries.

The second one he wanted to copy was from another cousin, a sea elemental. His Noble Phantasm was called "Ocean Current," which allowed him to quickly gather all surrounding water to use as his weapon.

Even after these water elements are injected into another person's body, they can further manipulate that person's blood and other bodily fluids.

With her own liquid fire added to the mix, it was great. Even without warming up, Yilian felt incredibly powerful!

He stepped into the virtual arena and then reverted to his "original form".

It was a transparent form entirely condensed from water, its entire body resembling constantly dancing waves—this was its true form. As for its ordinary boy-like appearance, it was merely a habitual mimicry.

"Let's go straight to PVP matchmaking. I'm going to give my classmates a good elbowing. Anyone trying to climb the ranks in the next half hour is in for a rough time!" Yi Lian laughed like Tom the cat.

"Match successful!"

The next moment, the surrounding environment completely changed. Then, Yi Lian felt herself appear on a battlefield that looked like ruins.

The air was very humid, as if it had just rained, with puddles everywhere. Excellent, perfect for him to shine!

Then let that unlucky guy who was accidentally matched with us on the other side experience a good beating!

From afar, he spotted his matched opponent. A guy in full armor, somewhat like Valerie, but while Valerie's armor was heavy metal plates, the opponent's armor resembled a biological exoskeleton.

But you're in for a rough time today!

Chapter 135 is matching you with an equally matched opponent.

He immediately clasped his hands together. The next instant, the earth trembled and shook violently, and rocks and soil rose from the ground, forming a rib-like structure that protected the stone giant's body. In an instant, this terrifying stone giant was enveloped by roaring water dragons, as well as spears and shields made of water. Upon closer inspection, one could even detect that the water possessed unimaginable high temperatures.

This was the simplest combination technique he could think of. Tsuchi-senpai's Noble Phantasm granted him an inexhaustible supply of magic power and a heavy defense, making him extremely strong in close combat, but he couldn't attack aerial targets and had difficulty dealing with those behind him.

However, the Noble Phantasm of the sea element granted him control over the form of water far beyond his own comprehension. Combined with his ability to dye water into liquid fire at a temperature of over a thousand degrees, this is their exhilarating combination technique!

Come on, he's going to start ranking up!

Then, watching the agile armored man, Yi Lian did not hesitate to control the stone giant and throw the liquid fire spear in her hand.

……

At the same time, Li Ge, who was ready to have some fun, spotted his opponent in the distance.

He was originally planning to give those who were about to play ranked matches a good elbow strike, but he didn't expect that before he could even put in any effort in his first match, the other team surrendered. They had no competitive spirit at all and surrendered as soon as they were at a disadvantage.

So he immediately started the next game, preparing to use the same quick and decisive tactic as before, and then...

You're telling me that the towering rock giant, as tall as Godzilla, is the equally matched opponent you've been matched with?

He just thought it was absolutely outrageous. Actually, when he saw the rock giant, he suspected that he had been matched with the earth elemental senior he had met a few times, but the earth elemental senior was a third-year student!

Dude, there's something wrong with your matchmaking system!

Then he saw that the terrifying earth giant, still feeling that his firepower was not enough, began to put on a layer of water elemental armor and a spear, which he held in his hand like a Dongfeng missile.

Dude, what exactly are you? How can you control both water and soil?

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Then I won't save any teleportation attempts!

Li Ge genuinely believed he had been matched with a high-level player. Damn the ELO system! After I climbed the ranks, it immediately matched me with an older student. Fine, fine, fine.

The earth giant's spear transformed into a hurled meteor, striking Li Ge in an instant.

He didn't care about saving his teleportation attempts. In the next instant, the silk thread shot out at subsonic speed, and before the spear could strike him, he vanished from his spot.

"boom!"

The spear, which was clearly like flowing water, exploded violently the instant it struck the ground.

……

Yi Lian was also stunned. He clearly saw that he was about to kill the opponent in one move, and then he was preparing to start the next game before the copying time was over, so that he could torture another opponent who wanted to rank up.

To everyone's surprise, the opponent vanished just as the spear was about to hit. The spear only left behind a large-scale explosion caused by the compressed liquid fire.

This is an ability he can only use when he has the Noble Phantasm "Ocean Current". Under normal circumstances, he can only control liquid fire, but he cannot compress liquid fire, let alone mix explosive clay into liquid fire.

"Oh no, it's a teleportation-type opponent!" Yi Lian reacted instantly. Then he immediately looked to his side, and sure enough, the humanoid insect-like armored man appeared next to him, even leaping into the air and delivering a violent and ferocious kick from top to bottom.

Not only is there a flash, but there's also an almost subsonic speed-enhancing kick after the flash!

He estimated that the outer layer of rock and soil wouldn't be able to withstand that kick.

Then let's not bother with defense. He immediately and decisively used the few explosive clays he had manipulated with "Heart of the Earth" to form a shield, creating a shield-to-shield attack like a Claymore mine.

However, in the next instant, the other side even accurately seized the gap before the detonating clay had fully formed, and blasted it almost grazing the edge of the clay.

Then, Yi Lian also became ruthless. Anyway, it was just a virtual arena, no one would die, at most they would just be exhausted.

He planned to self-destruct, directly igniting all the explosive clay with liquid fire!

Just before the explosion, he looked at the enemy and suddenly froze. Because on the armored face was a familiar clown mask, and light shone through the gaps in that mask.

"Li Ge?"

Li Ge activated his Golden Eyes; this was his final Knight's Kick. If this kick failed to disconnect the opponent, he himself would be disconnected. Then, as he used his Golden Eyes to locate the gap in the exploding clay, preparing to kick it away, he suddenly realized that the tag on the stone giant looked strangely familiar.

"Ripples?"

"boom!"

The knight's kick shattered the stone giant's rib-like defenses, but in that instant, a mushroom cloud, resembling a giant Patrick Star, erupted from the stone giant's center...

The world seemed to be instantly and completely covered by light and heat...

……

"Both sides were almost simultaneously eliminated, resulting in a draw!"

Returning from the virtual arena in an instant, Li Ge collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

The next moment, he broke out in a cold sweat...

No, no...did this trigger a Morphling duel? Did I win or lose?

Did I lose?

He immediately broke out in a sweat. Then he realized he was fine and quickly left the virtual arena. Sure enough, he saw Yilian, who also seemed exhausted, turn into a puddle of water and flow out.

Li Ge: "..."

Yi Lian: "..."

The two stared at each other, an unexpected awkwardness settling in.

In the lounge, Li Ge and Ge You were sprawled on the sofa, while Yi Lian remained in a state of slumped stillness, as if she had lost her dreams.

"By the way, is this considered your clan's... kind of duel?" Li Ge asked.

Yi Lian rolled her eyes. Who knows how Li Ge could see an eye roll in a puddle of water?

"A duel requires a ritual to begin; it's not something you can start with just any battle. Don't worry, you won't turn into Little Nanliang," Yilian retorted.

"Ugh."

After they finished speaking, they both sighed.

The two brothers were planning to give their solo PvP friends a good beating after getting their new gear, but they ended up getting matched together and both got wiped out...

It's like a professional player being matched against another professional player.

We were all planning to come here for fried fish, but we ended up coming up at the same time...

"Hey, you two are both here?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

The two of them struggled to lift their heads and saw Xiaoye walking over as well: "What happened? Were you tortured in the virtual arena?"

Li Ge: "..."

Yi Lian: "..."

"Are you here for training too?" Li Ge asked, skipping over the sore topic.

"Yeah, my Noble Phantasm seems to have evolved a bit again. I'll give it a try and get used to it." Xiaoye shrugged, preparing to go straight into the arena to give it a shot.

"What evolution?" Both of them were stunned for a moment, very curious.

The next instant, both of them felt a sharp elbow strike. Li Ge gasped in shock, while Yi Lian was jolted to the ground, the water scattering before slowly gathering back together.

"Ouch... When did you do that?" Li Ge immediately clutched his waist.

Damn, this elbow strike is getting harder and harder to defend against!

"As long as we're in the same shadow, I can control the shadows of others. Just now, it was your own shadows that attacked you." Sayo shrugged; this was the new evolution of her Noble Phantasm.

"Wow, what a disgusting ability!" Li Ge immediately realized that in the future, he would not only have to guard against frontal elbow strikes, but his own shadow might also suddenly elbow him. This ability was just too evil!
