Throne Steps

The Saenlich family has always been the focus of attention of the people of Retia, especially recently, the "photogenic rate" is very high.First, Lairier graduated from Pesa, then the twins entered school, and then Saenz graduated, and after a while, there was Fugeral's engagement.If there is a newspaper industry that sells gossip for a living in the Raetia continent, they can live for two or three years with just these few things.

Although Saenz is very outstanding, but he was influenced by Fujlar and Lairier before, and the twins shine later, so his development in Pesa is really limited.Before he left, he mentioned to Li Chen that he would travel directly after graduation, which was probably also an idea to expand his influence.Li Chen has no objection to this decision, only that he can mark the things that need to be done and send them to the Mercenary Association, at least Yanying will not let the mission fail.

In any case, Saenz is far away from the emperor of Shan Gao.Regardless of who goes and who stays, Pesa's final round of competitive qualifying this semester will be screened enthusiastically according to the original plan.

With the experience of the previous year, Pesa arranged the final exams of other grades before the qualifying rounds, so that the students who had finished the exams could devote themselves to watching the competition.Wiggins, Li Chen, Noah, Mills, plus Nie Wen, became part of the onlookers without any surprise.

Oh, by the way, Nie Wen performed normally in the entrance examinations conducted in the previous school year and before this semester - he was not admitted.

But he had no other place to go, Meloyer waved his hand and paid him to stay as Mills' waiter.

Only Mills and Nie Wen dared to accept this favor so unsuspectingly.

Back to qualifying.Although there are a total of eight games in this round, there is no doubt that the game between Xia Luo and Kokolin is the most eye-catching.The biggest dark horse and the favorite to win the championship, the masses have their own opinions about who wins.And Wiggins has more complicated feelings about this game. From his personal feelings, after weighing the assistant coach Sharo and the teacher Pavchenko, he prefers Kokolin to win.

Although Wiggins is set as the benchmark by default, he is still very innocent now, and it is normal to look at this matter from personal factors.Mills and Nie Wen thought they had a lot of brains, but they were basically thinking blindly, so they couldn't see the doorway here.Noah stood in the correct line, coupled with careful observation, vaguely guessed that Kokolin and himself were not in the same group.As for Li Chen, not only could he see clearly, but he also had a foot in it, he was the most clear person.

Therefore, when Wiggins asked Li Chen who he was more optimistic about, Li Chen said truthfully: "Xia Luo."

Wiggins is of course not satisfied with this answer: "Why, Kokorin looks very good."

Li Chen was very tolerant of this benchmark who didn't know the direction of the wind, and only asked: "Is Xia Luo not good?"

Wiggins resented.If Xia Luo is not good, it is impossible to become the favorite to win the championship.Unlike last year when Saenz won the championship and made a big splash, this year, no one in the fifth and sixth grades will be able to sit firmly on the first place, and the competition is very lively.

However, Wiggins quickly cheered up: "Kokorin is the biggest dark horse, a personal disciple of Teacher Pavchenko."

Li Chen did not object.Kokorin can have such a result, Pavchenko is absolutely indispensable.But Kajia came to see Xia Luo this semester to talk about further cooperation, and just left. Li Chen absolutely couldn't believe that this mercenary didn't make a fuss about his younger brother.

The competition was about to start, and the crowd of students gradually increased.Li Chen and Wiggins stood in positions with a good view, and they were quite conspicuous.After several waves of students came to say hello to Li Chen, Wiggins finally couldn't help asking, "Ruisen, how do you know so many people?"

"Ah." Li Chen didn't care too much, "My colleagues in the army in the future."

Wiggins wrinkled his nose: "You are really busy."

His circle itself is not much, and in addition to not deliberately operating it, the scope is not very large.Although Saenz has given him a lot of favors, among the group of four, his interpersonal relationship is still the simplest.

Noah, on the other hand, saw Li Chen's future comrades-in-arms and thought of something, and went to Li Chen's side when others were not paying attention: "Are you all doing morning exercises now?"

Li Chen glanced at the other party, guessed what he was coming for, and nodded.Most of the Pesa students who received military funding were poor but excellent, with strong self-esteem and subtle inferiority complex. Now he consciously or unconsciously organizes those future "army colleagues" to do morning exercises together, which is the best way to connect emotionally.

Although Saenz said that he could be with the little fighters he had instructed, after careful consideration, he would understand that it would be wiser not to put these two groups together for the time being.

There are many reasons for such an action, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, otherwise Li Chen would not do his best.

Seeing Li Chen's undeniable gesture, Noah thought for a while and asked, "Is it convenient if I want to participate?"

Rao Lichen had already guessed, but now he was still a little puzzled: "Why?"

"There are many specific reasons..." Noah smiled, "In general, I just don't want to fall behind too much."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "You are a sponsored student of the Meloyer family, how to explain this problem, have you thought it through clearly?"

Noah is two years older than Li Chen, and now he is sixteen, considered half an adult.Although he vaguely knew that Li Chen was a person with a lot of ideas, he didn't know what kind of moth Li Chen was in essence.Therefore, the serious appearance of this young man became very interesting to him.

He laughed: "Ah, I know."

"I won't bring you in on purpose." Li Chen didn't care whether Noah really cared or not, he glanced at the referee's seat that had just been filled, and replied, "I'll introduce you to some of them when I find a chance, The rest is up to you."

Noah nodded.

During the conversation, Ke Kelin and Xia Luo came on stage, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly boiled.

Wiggins was still able to stay calm at first, but when he saw the target person, he became excited and pulled Li Chen and shouted: "It's about to start, it's about to start!"

Fortunately, everyone's voices are not low, which makes Wiggins not obtrusive.Seeing how excited he was, Li Chen suddenly asked, "Are you betting on Ke Kelin?"

Wiggins choked.

But this is actually not a big deal. Pesa himself turned a blind eye to the activities of the students in private.So Wiggins asked back: "Don't you?"

Li Chen opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I have no money."

Wiggins has completely lost track of this former servant, and only thinks he really has no money: "I'll lend you!"

A small gamble is fun, but a big gamble hurts your body... Li Chen smiled and stopped answering.The host in the arena had finished speaking, and only two students were left standing on the stage.Because the coercion they released to each other was very obvious, the students watching on the side gradually lowered their voices, and soon became silent.

"ready, go!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, raging flames exploded from Xia Luo's side, rushing towards Ke Kelin like a torrent!

With a wave of Ke Kelin's hand from bottom to top, the most common water curtain stood up in an instant with a relatively rare thickness; the fire rushed to the wall, and the water and fire mixed together, and the water vapor with a sizzle sound immediately made The whole place was filled with fog.

However, Xia Luo was feigning an attack, but the moment the flames rushed out, he started shooting arrows out of thin air; the orange flame arrow showed its unusual high temperature, and it went straight in the dissipating fog The enemy goes--

Click!

The ice shield condensed by Kokolin directly intercepted the high-temperature blow. The arrow was shredded by the magic elements on the ice shield, and the ice shield was smashed with deep cracks and countless ice crystals, making it unusable immediately.

The students burst out in amazement with a bang, and Li Chen was also slightly taken aback.

It's a really...a powerful opening.

As a mercenary, Kaga is also a fireman, and his offensive method is often to suppress the enemy with a violent posture at the beginning; while Pavchenko is close to the water system and has been teaching in Pesa all the year round. As a teacher, his patience and gentleness also make him defensive. Excellent technique.

The style of these two people has been fully reflected in the two young ones.If it weren't for the barriers set up around the arena to prevent it from spreading, the students onlookers would definitely feel the duality of ice and fire.

In fact, due to their own lack of ability, students' style of play is more advantageous in favor of skill.The vigorous style of play, which looks sturdy, is actually a waste of magic power.When this method of combat is actually implemented by Kaga and Pavchenko, the scene will definitely be more intense.

However, both parties are still students who have not graduated, so it is enough to scare each other.

Water and fire are incompatible, coupled with various ulterior and ulterior factors, Ke Kelin and Xia Luo come and go and fight together.And Xia Luo, with his well-known obvious advantages, maintained an offensive posture that he made clear from the beginning. Although he was unable to win for a while, he could still be regarded as suppressing Kokolin.

"Counterattack! Come back!" Wiggins yelled at the students around him, "Cover him with water!"

There were also those shouting to wash Xia Luo off the stage with flood water.

The students yelled loudly, but the water and fire methods are typical of defense and offense. It is obviously unrealistic for Kokolin to become an attacker.No matter how Pavchenko can give his personal students the magic weapon to win by surprise, he will never escape the field of "defensive counterattack".

Sure enough, Kokolin's waterspout wiped out Xia Luo's flying fire meteor, and rushed straight towards Xia Luo's lower body; and Xia Luo hurriedly condensed the fire element to the top of the staff, and survived the impact of the water column!

"Hey..." This collective sigh can almost identify who is betting on Kokolin.

"Kokorin still has a chance." Noah who was sitting next to him said suddenly.

Because the others were noisy, only Li Chen heard it, so he asked back, "Are you speaking for the Water Law?"

Noah himself is relatively close to the water element, so it can also be assigned to the scope of the water law.

"No." Noah watched Xia Luo combine the flames released by the wind element again, and replied, "Kokorin's only chance is the moment when Xia Luo is powerless. And the magic power of this fire magic is exhausted... "

has manifested.

Xia Luo could still resist or evade Kokolin's attack, but his own offensive momentum gradually weakened.Go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times, and it will become a reality in no time.

Li Chen's expression was not very concerned: "Why, you also bought Ke Kelin Shengli?"

"I have no money." Noah returned what Li Chen said to him, and then smiled, "But the odds here are as high as [-] to [-]..."

This odds deeply reflects the other people's perception of the strength of the two contestants.If it wasn't for Ke Kelin's upset win all the way, I'm afraid everyone would dare to pay [-] for [-].

The situation on the field is slowly evolving towards the result Noah said.This kind of result is not only speculated by Noah, but many people know it well-after all, Kokolin has done this in previous games.

Li Chen glanced at the referee's seat.Although it is theoretically possible to win by defeating the opponent, the clear definition of "defeat" is very vague, and most of the time it depends on the referees to define.

In other words, as long as there is no boundary, everything has variables.

Noah suddenly said: "Here we come!"

Looking back to the arena, I saw that Ke Kelin barely retreated when Mars was approaching his feet, and when he flipped his palm, he launched a huge water splash!Not only did it swallow Xia Luo's slightly mistaken attack in an instant, but it also rushed towards Xia Luo himself in a turbulent manner.For a moment, the huge water was raised to a height of ten feet, rushing in with the momentum of raising the gate to discharge the flood!

The onlookers forgot to breathe for a while, and Xia Luo had no time to set up the barrier.His lips moved quickly, and the flood rushed in front of him, but he couldn't dodge it in time. He just raised his staff and hit the huge current head-on!

slam-la-

However, the water splashed on the protective barrier outside the arena, and the scene of the players being washed out of the arena by the flood did not appear.Xia Luo actually stood like this, abruptly receiving the impact of this huge water column!

The students, who were already in shock, were even more stunned now.

As a magician, Xia Luo's physical strength is so good!

Kokorin's water attack looked grand, but it was actually fleeting.After a few seconds, Hong Feng disappeared, but Xia Luo still stood firmly on the stage.It is naturally impossible for Ke Kelin to react more slowly to things that anyone with a discerning eye can see.As early as when Xia Luo supported the first wave, Ke Kelin chanted the spell and waited for the water wave to pass and attack one after another.Unexpectedly, Xia Luo was faster, as soon as his staff poked his head out of the waves, an orange rocket shot out immediately!

Rao was Kokolin who was well prepared, and he didn't expect Xia Luo to counterattack so quickly.

clatter——

The defensive magic barrier bounced off in front of Kokolin, and the rocket scattered into sparks at the tip of his nose.But this timely defense did not come from Kokolin, but from the defense badge that every contestant must wear.

On the other side of the arena, although his clothes were soaked and embarrassed, Xia Luo carelessly brushed his forehead hair that was still dripping.He has been submissive for so many years, and suddenly he has a little brother's wild attitude in him.

Since the defensive barrier with the academy logo bounced off, everyone knew that he had won.
