Chapter 315 Is this even human?
Li Ang's pace remained steady, and his speed didn't even slow down much, as he gradually closed the distance between himself and Fei Lin.
Felin panicked completely. She had never encountered such a bizarre situation before. Word magic was her specialty. In the past, even if she could resist some of the attacks from opponents of the same level, they could never be as unaffected as this person in front of her!
She retreated in a panic, futilely trying other incantations. As she released the incantations, her face grew paler and paler, and the dizziness from the depletion of her magic power began to rise.
Finally, Li Ang walked to a spot just a few steps away from Fei Lin, calmly raised his hand, and made a chopping motion.
"Whoa!" Felin's taut nerves finally snapped. Overwhelmed by frustration and fear of the unknown, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She cried out in a choked voice, "I give up! I give up!"
The referee paused for a second before loudly announcing, "Flint Grant concedes defeat. The winner is Leon Carlson, Lelitta!"
The audience erupted in uproar; the shock was even greater than yesterday's.
"Word magic—completely ineffective?"
"When he walked over, the spell of the wizard Felin clearly took effect; I saw the air around his body distorting!"
"But how come he's acting like nothing happened? What exactly is Li Ang's constitution?"
"This is outrageous! Is this guy really a wizard? No—is he even human?"
When Li Ang returned safely to the rest area, all sorts of bizarre speculations about his identity had already begun to circulate quietly among the wizards of White Chalk City.
Some say he might be a dragon in human form, possessing incredible magic resistance; others confidently claim he comes from the rock giant race of the eastern mountains, naturally immune to most magical effects; and still others go even further, saying he is actually the latest humanoid combat puppet secretly developed by Lyrita.
In short, in the eyes of many onlookers, Leon Carlson no longer belongs to the realm of humanity.
At dinner, the atmosphere in the quiet living room was lively, with everyone reporting on their day's progress.
Maya, with a mouthful of stewed meat, mumbled, "My defense with Harris—well, it went very smoothly. Those old men on the panel asked very detailed questions about the stability data and practical combat enhancement effects of the Dragon Power Potion, but Harris was extremely well-prepared. I think we'll definitely make it to the second review!"
Harris adjusted his glasses, trying to maintain his composure, but the smile in his eyes and brows was hard to hide: "It's mainly because Wizard Leon's potion is so effective; our overall score should be pretty good."
The leader of Carlos's faction nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the first step has been successful."
Diana then looked at Li Ang, her eyes filled with a smile: "You're quite famous now, and the rumors about you are quite interesting."
Li Ang smiled nonchalantly and turned to Diana, asking, "Professor, has the match schedule for tomorrow been released?"
"Here he comes out." Diana put down her teacup. "Your third-round opponent is Barton Rocks from Obsidian Tower. You should know him, right?"
'
"Barton the Wizard?" Leon was somewhat surprised, not expecting to face off against an acquaintance so soon.
The next day, in the arena.
Barton looked at Li Ang, who was dressed in a blue robe and exuded a calm aura, and a complex emotion appeared on his square face.
Six months ago, when this young man sparred with Elena in the Obsidian Tower, he was just an apprentice wizard. Now, however, she stands on the same stage as him, and has even become a formidable opponent that he must deal with with all his might.
Before the referee announced the start of the match, Barton solemnly said to Li Ang, "Li Ang, in just six months, your growth has been astonishing. In this match, I hope you can give it your all and not hold back. Let me see just how far you've come."
Li Ang could sense the seriousness and expectation in the other person's words, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, Senior Barton, please give me your guidance."
"The match begins!"
The moment the referee finished speaking, Barton reacted extremely quickly, his right hand already gripping the wand at his waist. He knew that Leon's "Breaking the Spell" was unpredictable and planned to cast a transformation spell as quickly as possible.
However, the moment his fingers touched the staff, a faint blue, almost invisible streak of light appeared in his eyes.
【Sky-Splitting Slash】.
The wind blade seemed to break through the limitations of space, flying silently past his ear at a speed that Barton could not comprehend at all. The sharp wind it generated stung his skin, and a few strands of his hair that had been cut off slowly drifted down.
Barton froze, slowly turning his head to look at the barrier at the edge of the arena behind him, where a thin cut was slowly repairing itself.
If that strike had been slightly off-target—
Barton's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. He took a deep breath, slowly loosened his grip on the wand, and said with a wry smile to the referee and to Li Ang, "You beat Li Ang."
From the moment Li Ang raised his hand to the moment Barton conceded defeat, the whole process was so fast that many viewers didn't even realize what had happened.
A collective gasp and a buzz of discussion erupted from the audience once again.
"What kind of spell was that? I didn't see anything!"
"It's a level three spell, Sky-Splitting Slash! But that speed—that level of precision—it's unbelievable!"
"The wizard Barton surrendered without even casting a spell?"
This time, no one doubted Li Ang's strength or his identity as a wizard. It's no wonder that others doubted him, since he hadn't used any spells in the first two matches.
After this match, Li Ang advanced to the round of 16 with a perfect record of three wins out of three.
When Li Ang's name was confirmed to be included in the top 16, the discussion about him in the audience reached a new peak.
This little-known level 3 wizard, Lelita, who easily passed all three levels, has become the biggest dark horse and the talk of the town in this year's League of Legends Friendship Tournament.
On the way back to the still-windy place, the team members were still immersed in excitement.
"Three consecutive wins! The captain is amazing!" Ludick couldn't hide his excitement.
Helena pondered, "However, the opponents we face next are not at the level of the knockout stage. Among the top sixteen, apart from the captain, I'm afraid the others are at least at the peak of level four, or even level five wizards."
Maya replied nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of! Li Angqing can even beat those giant lizards to a pulp, why would he be afraid of these wizards?"
Olivia rolled her eyes at Maya upon hearing this, only then realizing with embarrassment that Olivia and Professor Dinah were also among the giant lizards she had mentioned.
Professor Diana walked at the front, her expression more solemn than the others: "The draw for the round of 16 is crucial. Only by avoiding those most troublesome old guys can we go further."
The leader of the Carlos faction nodded in agreement: "Indeed, especially the [Colossus] Makarov of the Chalk Tower and the [Ice] Icarus of the Abyss Tower. It would be best if we could meet them later."
