CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 64: THE COUNTERATTACK OF THE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING

As soon as the Molten Lava Python formed by the Joint Attack Magic appeared, it captivated the entire audience.

The trainees from the Combat Department of the Royal Magic Academy cheered wildly, overwhelmed with excitement.

However, the situation was completely the opposite for the trainees of the Magic Potion Department; each of them hung their heads low, appearing utterly dispirited. The brighter the Combat Department shone, the more pressure the Magic Potion Department trainees felt for their upcoming demonstration.

The pride was evident on the faces of Song Xiangru and that male trainee.

The Molten Lava Python was over two meters long and as thick as a pot at its widest, its varied snake patterns clearly visible. Coiled in the Magic Space, it resembled a small mountain rising from the ground, emitting intense heat and sparking embers throughout the space.

Magic Mimicry is intermediate to advanced magic. Song Xiangru and that male trainee had just been promoted to Great Magic Director this year.

If judged solely on individual strength, they were not yet capable of achieving Magic Mimicry. It was only possible with their combined strength.

The attack potency of this Magic Illusion Beast, created through magic, was no less than that of a real python demon beast.

However, in Yun Sheng’s view, this was not the case.

Having also witnessed the fiery wolf created by Ye Huli through Magic Mimicry — though smaller in physique compared to the imposing Molten Lava Python, Yun Sheng found its magic chanting and agility significantly superior in control.

This was evident from the strain showing plainly as Song Xiangru and the male trainee struggled to maintain control.

The towering Molten Lava Python raised its head arrogantly, looking down upon the Wind Nether Leopard as if it was no match for it.

In the eyes of the Wind Nether Leopard sparked anger.

Suddenly, both the demon beast and the Magic Illusion Beast sprung into action.

In the Magic Barrier, red flames and green wind shadows moved as swiftly as flying shuttles, incessantly weaving through the space.

As the Wind Nether Leopard and the Molten Lava Python moved, Song Xiangru and the male trainee also continuously leapt around within the Magic Barrier.

The trainees of the Royal Magic Academy could barely keep up with the action inside the barrier.

The Wind Nether Leopard sprang high, forming a Magic Array in mid-air, unleashing countless Wind Blades swirling across the sky.

Intermediate Wind Element Magic, Wind Blades Everywhere.

Countless crescent-shaped Wind Blades struck the huge body of the Molten Lava Python, effectively blocking its attack.

Enraged, the Python thrashed its tail like a long whip, tearing through the Wind Blades and lashing towards the Wind Nether Leopard.

After a fierce battle, both the Wind Nether Leopard and the Molten Lava Python still had energy to spare.

However, Song Xiangru and the male trainee, controlling the Molten Lava Python by Joint Attack Magic, were visibly fatigued.

Not only did they need to control the Molten Lava Python, but they also had to continually dodge the Wind Nether Leopard’s Wind Blades, which greatly exhausted them.

Mages, in terms of physical strength, are naturally inferior to Martial Artists.

The Wind Nether Leopard, undeterred, launched another magic attack, and cunningly leaped behind Song Xiangru in the midst of casting, delivering a piercing claw strike to her back.

Song Xiangru screamed miserably, her back drenched in blood, and the Joint Attack Magic immediately failed.

The Molten Lava Python transformed into a burst of fireworks.

The male trainee was shocked and attempted to cast magic again, but a barrage of Wind Blades swept towards her from all directions.

"Instructor, save me!" The male student cried out in alarm, his body already struck by a Wind Blade, creating a strong Magic Wave that crashed into the Magic Barrier, making the entire barrier emit a sound like shattering glass.

"This is bad!"

Cang Song had not expected today’s combat to be so intense; the Magic Barrier he had just set up was directly shattered.

Inside the barrier, Song Xiangru and the male student were already pale with fright.

Once the Magic Barrier shattered, the uncontrolled Magic Elements surged out like wild arrows, madly striking the students around.

The Intermediate Students were still okay, managing to stabilize themselves and avoid being injured by the barrier’s fragments, but the Beginner Students were not so fortunate.

Many were struck by the chaotic Magic Elements and fell to the ground.

What was worse, the Wind Nether Leopard leaped out of the barrier and pounced towards a small group of people.

Master Mei Li narrowed her eyes and saw that the Wind Nether Leopard was heading straight for three of her students, Yun Sheng, Gu Feng, and Qi from Magic Potion Group Thirteen.

The entire barrier emitted a sound like shattering glass.

Not far from the trio, the students of Wuxuan’s Unlimited Tube were unflustered in the chaos, yet they showed no intention of coming to the rescue.

Seeing such a scene, Master Mei Li gnashed her teeth in frustration.

Just when everyone thought that the members of Magic Potion Group Thirteen were about to be gruesomely killed.

Among the three, Qi, wearing a dark green Magic Cloak, moved swiftly to the front.

Only a flash of light was seen, and the charging Wind Nether Leopard suddenly changed direction as if it had hit a wall, veering off towards the crowd of the Martial Arts Hall.

Zhan Li did not even frown, he spoke in a deep voice: "Jiuxiao."

Bu Jiuxiao moved with the speed of lightning, and in a blink, he stepped forward with a short dagger now in his hand.

The dagger was also peculiar, not thicker than two fingers, and the blade material was indiscernible; it appeared crystal clear like ice or crystal, emitting an intimidating sharp light under the daylight.

Bu Jiuxiao soared into the air, dagger in hand, a sweep released a snow-curved blade in the air, faintly resonating with a sound like thunder, and the barrier fragments that were caught in the blade wind instantly disappeared.

The body of the Wind Nether Leopard was immediately split in two, and its round head rolled on the ground.

Bu Jiuxiao sheathed his dagger swiftly, twisted his brow slightly but did not look at the Wind Nether Leopard; instead, he turned his gaze towards the few Beginner Students who had unexpectedly changed the leopard’s direction.

The cloaked Magician who had stood in front had already moved aside, revealing a plump, short Magician holding a Magic Wand, his hand still trembling slightly.

Just then, in the instant of killing the Wind Nether Leopard, Bu Jiuxiao also saw the situation ahead clearly.

When the Wind Nether Leopard pounced towards the three, a strange spherical light orb appeared. The light orb looked fragile, yet seemed to possess an incredible force that instantly repelled the leopard.

"Gu Feng! Yun Sheng, Qi, are you three alright?" Master Mei Li hurried over to check on her three students, while also warily observing the people from Wuxuan Wuji Hall.

"Light Defense Magic?" Zhan Li of Wuxuan Wuji Hall’s deputy hall master showed a face full of surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent, staring fixedly at Gu Feng.

Master Mei Li also noticed the Bright Celestial Sphere; Gu Feng had originally planned to tell Master Mei Li about his New Magic after the final assessment, but it turned out to be a spectacular debut instead.

After a while, the Bright Celestial Sphere slowly disappeared.

Song Xiangru and that male student, supported by people from the Combat Department, were as white as paper, no longer showing their previous arrogance.
