Chapter 64: Silver Cross Combat Aura

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Rodin fell heavily to the ground.

Compared to the knight, the mage’s body made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

A sharp pain came from his shoulder.

Fortunately, Hawthorne turned the sword half a circle at the last moment and turned it into the blade.

Otherwise, Rodin’s entire arm would have landed on the duel platform.

The shining tip of the sword stopped in front of Rodin.

When he raised his head, he saw Hawthorne’s arrogant face.

“Have you admitted defeat, noble mage?!”

Rodin felt extremely humiliated. His fingernails sank deep into the flesh of his palm. He gritted his teeth and said, “I… I admit defeat!”

The momentum outside the arena immediately weakened.

Tulip Academy against Knight Academy. The first match, defeat!

Hawthorne carried his sword and walked down the stage with ease.

Defeating a tier 5 mage seemed to be a very easy matter for him.

“Your battle experience is still too poor.”

Tang Man said to Elsa with a gloomy face, “Before entering the saint rank, no one can truly fly in the air. The levitation spells in wind-type magic all require a height limit, and this height is just what some powerful knights can achieve with their jumping ability.”

Elsa nodded and said, “Rodin has never fought a knight before, and he lacks actual combat experience. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost so quickly!”

“It would have been great if Joelson was here. Although he’s only a tier 4 mage, with his battle awareness, he can still win one match.”

The audience sighed helplessly.

The second match.

The people from the Tulip Magic Academy watched curiously. They did not know who the opponent would send out this time.

A blonde girl who had her head lowered and was wiping her sword slowly stood up.

“He actually sent out a woman?!”

“Is he looking down on us?”

The person sent out by the Tulip Magic Academy was an ordinary-looking young man. Many people did not recognize him.

“Who is this?!”

The sixth-grade students were all excited.

“That’s Senior Stuart!”

“That’s right, it’s him, Senior Stuart!”

“He hasn’t graduated yet?!”

“This is great! The Knight Academy is doomed to fail!”

Some people who did not know asked who Stuart was.

The sixth-grade student sighed and said, “Two years ago, he was the sixth-grader’s principal student. He was a super genius with dual superior wood element magic talent. Two years ago, in the Academy Exchange competition, he was the only one who beat his opponent until he admitted defeat.”

The lower-grade student opened his mouth wide and stared at Stuart, whose eyes were exceptionally bright and his appearance was very ordinary.

He did not expect that Tulip Academy still had such a magic genius hidden.

The people from Knight Academy also frowned slightly.

Engel said in a low voice, “Stuart, he was a fifth-rank mage two years ago. Two years have passed, and he might have already advanced to a sixth-rank mage. In this battle, Stephanie might…”

“Teacher Engel.”

Hawthorne laughed and shouted, “Aren’t you underestimating Stephanie too much? A sixth-rank mage? Hehe…”

Engel subconsciously glanced at Don Quixote, who had remained silent the entire time.

However, he realized that his attention was not on the competition at all. His gaze was fixed in one direction.

Below the stage.

Engel followed Don Quixote’s gaze and saw a purple-haired youth. This made him very puzzled.

Tulip Magic Academy actually hid many old students who had never graduated, like Stewart.

They didn’t have absolute confidence to participate in the graduation trial, or they were unwilling to give up the academy’s many resources, such as the Mage Tower.

These students would choose to cultivate in the academy with their bellies.

Tang Man had no choice. He couldn’t find Joelson, but he didn’t want Tulip Magic Academy to lose too badly, so he could only find the old students from the previous years.

Stewart and Stephanie stood opposite each other.

Before the competition started, Stephanie had already raised her long sword and rushed toward Stewart with her long, slender legs.

“This girl is so violent!”

Stewart’s expression didn’t change. He had the same level-five spell, but his casting time was half of Rodin’s.

Level-five spell, bloodthirsty vine!

A green glow was emitted from Stewart’s hand.

On the table between Stephanie and him, countless tiny sprouts were pulled out.

Within a few seconds, the tiny sprouts grew rapidly and turned into thick green vines.

Stephanie’s footsteps became chaotic. She raised her long sword and slashed it in all directions. The white combat aura cut all the vines that approached her into pieces.

At this time, Stewart had already prepared his second spell.

“Wooden cage, bind!”

Everyone’s eyes were solemn. Someone cried out in surprise, “A level-6 spell! Senior Stewart has indeed advanced to a level-6 mage!”

All the vines seemed to have gone crazy. They rushed crazily towards Stephanie. It was like a green palm covered with countless fingers. It quickly closed and formed a cage.

Stephanie was instantly surrounded. Her face and figure could not be seen.

A smile appeared on Tang Man’s face as he said, “Stuart has won this match.”

On the Knight Academy’s side, Engel and the other knights looked worried. However, they heard Don Quixote say calmly.

“This guy is finished. Stephanie hates being locked in a small dark room.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the huge vine cage suddenly exploded.

A dazzling silver light scattered on the ground like silver. It was very bright.

“Silver Cross Battle Aura!” Tang Man cried out in surprise

The very bright silver battle aura cut the vine like cutting vegetables.

“The hardness and flexibility of a level five vine is comparable to steel. How… How did she do it?! This is impossible!”

Everyone looked at the scene on the stage in disbelief.

It was as if they had seen a ghost.

If a knight’s combat aura was so strong, who would learn magic?! What kind of mage would he be?!

Stewart’s expression changed drastically. He chose to retreat at the first moment. At the same time, he waved his staff crazily and threw out level-2 and level-3 spells.

He tried to stop Stephanie from advancing, and at the same time, he tried to buy time for himself to cast a level-6 spell.

But any spell, under Stephanie’s silver combat aura, was like a fragile piece of paper.

There was no way to stop her for even a moment!

“It’s actually silver cross combat aura.”

Tang Man whispered, the shock on his face had not completely disappeared.

Elsa was similarly shocked. She could not help but ask, “What is silver cross battle-qi?!”

“It is one of the most powerful battle-qi inheritances in the Knight Academy of the Yheng Empire. It is said that only people with a special bloodline can cultivate it. Its power is more than twice that of ordinary battle-qi!”
