148 finalists(1/2)
After watching the battle between a man and a woman, Ding Yiyao pointed to another screen: "Senior Jia, please look at that screen."
Jia Fang followed his gesture and found that the two people on the screen - one was quite young and student-dressed, while the other was almost middle-aged, wearing a white robe inlaid with gold.
Ding Yi introduced: "That older person is also rated B, from the church, and is a B-level pastor."
"Oh? Priest? That's known for spells like Holy Word."
"I am worthy of being Senior Jia, with extraordinary insight. The priest is good at holy words and cannot practice spells of elements such as wind, fire, earth, etc., and can only practice water element spells."
Jia Fang nodded: "Since he is good at Holy Word and Water Element...ah? Water Elemental Spell?"
Ding Yi was a little confused about Jia Fang’s question: “Yes, is there any problem with Senior Jia?”
Jia Fang carefully avoided the exposure of the time traveler's identity: "I haven't heard of it before... there is a water element spell."
"That's true, this is normal. You haven't organized it before, so naturally you don't have any experience in this area. You probably don't know how to use the water element spell, right?"
“That’s right.”
"You don't know how to do it, so you must think no one can do it. Everyone will think so. But in fact, it's not. It may be that some structures of the human body are different. Anyway, those who can learn water cannot learn other common elements."
"Some structures? What structures?" Jia Fang's curiosity was aroused. The topic of "Why can't humans learn water element spells" made no progress in his previous life, and there was a major turning point when traveling to this world.
"Senior, I guessed this nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"Oh? You are not curious, don't you study it?"
Ding Yi sighed: "How could it be that I'm not curious? Magic researchers have long wanted to put this matter on the agenda, but the people in the church just kept it in their arms and said that clergy should not be blasphemed or something."
"Hiss..." Jia Fang naturally thought of something tricky about it: "When they were studying it themselves, did they discover something extraordinary, right?"
Ding Yi agreed with this statement very much: "Absolutely, if it weren't for being shameful, how could it be covered so tightly."
Both of them thought there was a conspiracy inside, but it was definitely not enough to discuss the specific conspiracy alone. Jia Fang silently decided to check it out later, and then the two of them focused their attention back on the stage again.
...
Time flies, and time passes.
These two sentences give people a feeling that it has been a long time, but in fact it only took two days.
In the past two days, Jia Fang had completely figured out the top B level, so on the third day of the competition, he finally encountered the first challenge - "nearly defeating Tai Hao".
Taihao is a member of the church and has a B-level and upper-level strength rating.
For someone like Jia Fang who cannot rating, he narrowly beat a B-level middle-aged and upper-level person and cannot be seen by others, so he must be careful to deal with it.
The two came on stage.
Tai Hao is not old and is in his early twenties. This is not the first time he has been to the competition. Naturally, he will not be like Zhen Luren, who will be clamoring at the beginning. His previous experience in participating in the competition made him understand that the Magicians Association has a bit of "a scattered general" and "a plate of loose sand". He has a relatively relaxed management and his average strength is not strong, but this does not mean that all the magicians in the association are very weak.
Jia Fang's performance in the previous games has fully proved that he is not weak at all.
What's more, as a church member, Taihao is dignified and cold. Even if he is extremely despised, he cannot say it out loud, and he can only convey information through his eyes.
Although you can't clamor, you can give your opponent some pressure in language. Tai Hao said: "I heard that Brother Jia is best at undead spells, so you have to be careful. Our church has a lot of magic targeting undeads."
Qin Hao's words are a bit one-sided. The light spell does have a certain restraining effect on undead creatures, but firstly, undead creatures are not equal to undead mages, and secondly, undead magic also has deepened damage to the priest.
Naturally, Jia Fang would not feel pressured because of the other party's words, and he was too lazy to explain these restraint relationships to the other party. He replied with a swear word: "Then Brother Hao let me go, don't use those spells that restrain the undead~"
"That's not possible. It's obvious to everyone how strong you are. I may not be able to beat the advantage in restraining relationships, so there is no room for giving in to you."
If no one interrupted, the two of them might have to talk until they were about to go. The referee couldn't wait and reminded him: "The two sides can start the game."
Although the referees urged them, the two of them could not change from chatting to fighting immediately. They had to lay the groundwork. Jia Fang was responsible for this groundwork: "Tsk, it seems that it is not appropriate to chat on the field. Brother Hao, then I will attack first?"
"please!"
"please!"
Jia Fang put on a good posture, although the magician had no posture.
"Hairy Spider Summoning!"
When he heard the name of Jia Fang's spell, before the "Hairy Spider" was summoned, Tai Hao began to chant magically, which is called consciousness.
Although Taihao has never even heard of the name of the spell "Hairy Spider Summoning Technique", in his experience, this spell must summon a huge spider, and the characteristics of spiders are just a few: they act quickly, can spin silk, and may be poisonous.
Since that's the case, use the "Ice Domain" to let the arena enter a slow environment, then prepare the holy light bomb in advance, and use the holy light to protect it as soon as the summoned object comes out.
But is Jia Fang the one who plays according to the rules?
Of course not.
As an elite, Tai Hao naturally heard about such a well-known thing as "Jia Fang does not play by the rules". Even though he did not know Jia Fang before, he had seen enough of these two days.
Like, "Suddenly stop standing still, then pointing behind the other party in panic, kicking him down while the other party turns around, and then using sleeping skills to uniform the other party',
Like what, "the competition requires a handshake at the beginning, and then use sleeping skills to uniform the other party',
What else is there, "summon skeletons under someone's feet, and then directly transform into a bomb egg, and use sleeping skills to uniform it while the other party is under the body and is unable to resist."
Something like that...
In the past two days, the magician's business scope has been refreshed again and again.
Moreover, these methods will not be judged as fouls, because what Jia Fang showed was the "melee mage" playing style, that is, "add a bunch of buffs to his body and then fight in close combat".
Just last night, a general who was full-time in charge of the "Melee Mage Corps" in the Magic Division personally found Jia Fang and asked him if he wanted to be a master of skills: "Technology is not important, the key is to let them learn the shameless spirit of "not tired of deceit in war."
Jia Fang declined.
It can be said that Tai Hao, who was standing on the stage at this time, had fully understood the various methods that Jia Fang had already shown. Don’t think that this is a magician competition, according to Tai Hao’s psychological expectations, even if Jia Fang suddenly took out some lime powder from his crotch and raised it up, he would not be surprised.
So at this time, he did not think that Jia Fang really wanted to use the "haired spider summoning technique". He even felt that the name of this spell was just compiled by Jia Fang.
Tai Hao's "Ice Field" plus the "Holy Light Bomb" can almost deal with all the opponent's offensives. The ice field directly slows down, making Jia Fang unable to get close at all, while the Holy Light Bomb can turn defense into offense.
More importantly, he wore a steel crotch protection today.
Although it's a bit grinding, it's worth it!
The result was beyond Tai Hao's expectations. Jia Fang did use the spider summoning technique, but this "scarlet spider" was not the "big version" he imagined. It was a very disgusting spider type with a very small body, less than half a centimeter, but a long legs, about one centimeter.
The quantity...is about twenty square meters.
The numbers are endless, they can only be expressed in square meters.
Ding Yi looked in the stands: "Wow, Senior Jia is better at doing it. Who can think of this method?"
This is the first time that Gao De has seen this kind of playing style. Of course, he has seen the fighting style used in every battle these days. His position is relatively low, so he naturally cannot talk to the same level at this time. He has to ask for advice humbly: "Although this hairy spider... has a psychological offensive, it is a bit fragile after all. I don't know what Senior Jia will do?"
This "seeking advice" also requires a way to ask for advice. He couldn't stare at Ding Yi directly: "What if the hairy spider is killed by someone's AOE?"
If Ding Yi doesn’t know the answer, what should he do if he doesn’t know the answer? That would make the leader embarrassed?
Even if Ding Yi didn't know about this, he could reply to the previous sentence: "Yes..."
The moment the twenty-square-meter-haired spider appeared, Tai Hao was a little dazed because he didn't see clearly.
The next second, all the hairs on his body stood up, and he subconsciously said "I X". The next second, he realized his incompetence and forced himself to calm down. There was an ice field. The movement of these hairy spiders was extremely slow, and he had enough time to "Ice Blade Wall".
The Ice Blade Wall can not only be used as a defensive wall, but also freeze all creatures shrouded in the range.
Taihao picked up the staff, his excited heart and trembling hands made his chant less neat.
Then he found that Jia Fang was also singing at the same time, and the singing was very brief, and he felt a little fear for no reason.
After Jia Fang finished singing, he held up his staff in front of him: "Wind Wind Technique."
The weak wind technique is a relatively "life-oriented" spell. It can only be used as an electric fan. If you want to use it to attack the enemy, you will think too much and at most it can create some itching.
But Jia Fang had the power to turn decay into magic. His weak wind technique blew the hairy spider calculated by square meters into a cubic calculation...
Wu Liu Wu Liu's hair spider flew towards Tai Hao...
...
In the next four days, Jia Fang did not meet any magicians as powerful as Qin Hao. Moreover, because the scenes that appeared before were too visually impactful, these mages did not focus on fighting, but on seeing the opportunity and shouting for defeat.
And Qin Hao... tsk tsk, it would be fine if he didn't mention it.
All I can say is that the sealing properties of steel crotch protection are really not as good as those of pure cotton.
...
Time is like water, water and moon is like shuttle*2.5.
Five days passed in a flash, and the week's preliminary round ended, and Jia Fang was in full swing.
No one knows whether he is the strongest among the six qualifiers, but he is definitely the one that the other five contestants are "most unwilling to face".
Even the [original generation] who lives deep underground couldn't help but say to himself: "I thought of this fifth one, I'm a real girl."
In the second stage, the round-robin system began, Jia Fang's pressure was reduced immediately, and he could finally fight against hostility with serious magic.
He had to deliberately lose the four A-levels, so he simply planned to admit defeat as soon as he met. There would be no flaws in this method. The other five B-levels also planned to only choose one or two to challenge them. They would just be fine if they all fought seriously. There was no possibility of winning, and it would affect the other games.
Therefore, Jia Fang's behavior of "I admit defeat to all four" is within a reasonable range.
What's more, judging from his performance in the first stage... this "performance" does not refer to strength, but to "conformity". Everyone can accept anything he has done now.
Unexpectedly, Jia Fang's first game surprised everyone.
To be continued...
