With so many spectators watching, even the Holy King was present, both countries wanted to win this competition.
The rules of the competition are that a total of 10 students from both sides compete in a round-robin battle. The loser leaves the field and the winner moves on to the next one. Whichever side has no one left first loses.
The first competition between the two countries was mainly based on testing. The students sent were capable, but not the strongest ones. The Empire's swordsman student is an intermediate martial artist, and is still some distance away from breaking through to a high-level warrior. The Spirit Summoner sent by the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom is only a Spirit Summoner with a sage-level spirit beast. He is a junior earth magician who only knows the earth wall technique.
However, spiritual beasts have very strong combat capabilities. Intelligent-level spiritual beasts and strong-level monsters are on the same level. Even high-level professionals find it difficult to defeat powerful strong-level monsters alone.
In addition, spiritual summoners can quickly communicate with spirit beasts through spiritual contracts. The two cooperate extremely tacitly, and the magic connection is just right. The empire's student swordsmen feel more difficult to fight than two earth magicians at the same time.
The swordsmen lost without even touching each other. It seemed like they lost quickly and it was frustrating, but in fact they didn't lose unfairly. Due to the existence of spirit beasts, spiritual summoners are indeed stronger than warriors and magicians at the same professional level. The main body plus the spirit beast is one more fight. If it is a spirit beast with higher bloodline, it will be a crushing victory. .
Therefore, there is another rule in the competition: if you defeat the spirit summoner, you will win this match directly.
If a spiritual summoner is killed on a real battlefield, his contracted spirit beast will not die, but will fight the murderer desperately. This rule can also be regarded as a balance to the powerful combat power of spiritual beasts.
Earth magic is heavy on defense, and Earthshaker is very strong, so close combat would be difficult, so the next student sent by the empire is a high-level wind magician.
This magician comes from Holk Academy and is Rogge's senior student.
Anyone who can become a senior professional in the academy is very powerful, and the same is true for this senior. She watched the battle just now carefully and chose to use the flying technique to fly as soon as it started.
The embarrassing thing about earth magic is that low-level magic has no way to deal with air targets. Earth-shaking beasts can't fly. Wind magic can also restrain earth magic. It is really restrained to death.
Several fast and invisible wind blades blew by, and the referee sentenced the spirit summoner to lose. He really had no choice but to be targeted.
As a result, the Spirit Summoner Holy Kingdom also started to take action. The next Spirit Summoner's spirit beast to appear was the Thunder Spirit Eagle, the one Madeline wanted very much.
The thunder element not only restrained the wind element, but the thunder eagle could also neutralize the air superiority of the wind magician. Rogge's senior was defeated after struggling for a while.
This thunder spirit eagle is also a wise-level spirit beast, so it has won by leapfrogging.
There is back and forth between the two countries, and one side wins the other, but as the number of remaining people decreases, there will always be situations that cannot be addressed.
When there were only 3 people left on the Empire side, they lost their restraint relationship with the Spirit Summoner who had a spiritual beast on the field that was about to reach the Yuanling level. The remaining three people discussed and decided that the strongest one would fight.
The contestant is Darren, the current sixth member of the top ten at Charles College.
Darren is a senior spear dancer with a strong body and proficient martial arts skills. After he came on the stage, he rushed straight into the spirit summoner's body, and the spiritual beast Alligator came in front of the spirit summoner to block him.
I saw Darren using his snake-like footwork to avoid the bites and long-tail swipes of the alligator, and approached the spiritual summoner.
Darren's second-level martial skill, Deadly Stabs, was launched, and the spears flashed, and the swift stabs hit the spiritual summoner one after another.
The Spirit Summoner is not weak either. He is an intermediate fighter. However, the shield he injects with energy cannot defend against Darren's silver spear. When Darren stabs for the fourth time, the shield is knocked away and he loses. Competition.
This was the fastest competition to end, and Darren's strength was beyond everyone's imagination. His speed is only faster than Sonia, who specializes in speed. Perhaps Sonia can surpass him only after she becomes a high-level professional.
The Crocodile, which was not known for its speed, could not keep up with Darren's pace and had almost no performance in this battle. This was one of the reasons why the Spirit Summoner lost so quickly.
There were only 5 people left in the Holy Kingdom of Summoning Souls. Seeing that the other party had sent out strong men, they also sent out their own strongest man - Holy Son Emil.
Emil is 22 years old this year. Although he is still nominally a student at the Soul Summoning Academy, he is actually helping the Holy King handle national affairs. He also joined the team temporarily during this competition. His main purpose was to show his strength, win the hearts of Ofina and Filia, and gain face for the Holy Kingdom of Soul Summoners.
The opponent was so powerful that Emil didn't hide it and directly summoned his two spiritual beasts.
Emil is a rare dual spirit beast envoy who has signed two spiritual contracts. His first spirit beast is a wise-level Sky-Splitting Giant Eagle, and his second spirit beast is actually a Yuanling-level one. Clear and turbid spirit tiger.
Emil himself is also an intermediate light magician. At this time, there are two beasts and one person on the field, which can be used in the sky, underground, melee, and magic. It is very comprehensive.
"Your Majesty the Holy King, why did the Holy Son appear? Isn't this unfair?" Captain Earl Dick asked the Holy King.
The Holy King replied: "The Holy Son is also a student of the Soul Summoning Academy, so he can naturally appear. If the empire feels it is unfair, it can challenge the Holy Son separately after the student competition is over."
The Holy King thought in his heart: "This kid wants to learn the tricks of that brat from the Yanyang family. He needs to show off his own strength first. Not bad, not bad, and then retaliate in the same way."
The Holy King has said this, and it’s hard for Earl Dick to say anything, but if he loses the competition after only defeating half of the candidates, it would be a big loss of face. Dick whispered to the teachers around him and discussed the candidates to challenge the Holy King.
Emil and Darren had already fought. Darren's speed advantage was wiped out in front of the Yuanling-level Qingzhuo Spirit Tiger. Not only was he unable to escape the entanglement of the Qingzhuo Spirit Tiger, he was even suppressed by the Spirit Tiger's attack.
With the clear and turbid spirit tiger restraining him from the front, the sky-splitting giant eagle can sneak attack at will. This giant eagle was not easy to mess with. Its sneak attacks were accurate and timely, causing Darren more trouble than a spiritual tiger.
Darren frequently used his martial arts skills to break through the spirit tiger, but the agile spirit tiger dodged all his attacks, and instead received a tiger claw on himself. At this moment, Darren's energy level is running low, and defeat is only a matter of time.
Emil's Sword of Light became the straw that broke the camel's back. The lightsaber thrust and the giant eagle pounced on him. Darren tried his best to dodge, but he was still pounced on by the spirit tiger who seized the opportunity to attack. , lost the competition.
Darren is already very strong, but it's a pity that the spiritual summoner is even more unreasonable. The Yuanling-level spirit beasts are equivalent to the Warring-level monsters. At that time, so many people on Rogge's team were struggling when they besieged the Warring-level earth dragons in the Giant Horn Cave. Now Darren himself can fight against the Yuanling-level Qinglong. The Zhuolinghu fought for a long time, which shows how strong Darren is.
The two remaining students from the Empire combined could not last as long as Darren alone. The Empire lost the competition with the opponent's remaining five students.
"Additional match! Extra match!" The audience's uniform shouts went straight into the sky. In this arena, as long as the audience is not satisfied and calls for extra games, arrangements will be made. The Son came off the field. Although he beat three people, the total time spent was not as long as usual in a game, and the audience was not satisfied.
The Holy King said to Count Dick: "Count Dick, you can choose students to challenge."
Avoiding the fight will only lead to more loss of face. Dick has no choice but to go to the student viewing area with Deputy Dean Morris, the leading teacher of Holk College, to pick someone.
Among the remaining students in the empire, except for the two major academies, their strength is average. The strongest one is only at the level of the young swordsman who just came on stage. Darren, the strongest student from Charles Academy, has also been defeated. The candidate can only be selected from Hall. I picked it from Gram College.
"The Holy King allows us to challenge the Holy Son. Which of you wants to challenge?" Morris asked.
The students were silent. Everyone saw the strength of the Holy Son. Even if they won, no one was sure that they would lose better.
Duruko, who had been waiting for the forbearance, stood up gracefully and said: "Deputy Dean Morris, I have a good candidate to recommend-Rogge. He was an S-class student of this college as soon as he entered the college. He is so powerful that even the Empire Miss Filia, the new star, is a member of his adventure group."
There is still a gap between students who are S-level students when they enter the academy and students who are promoted to S-level after entering the academy. Most of the S-level students of Holk Academy present are promoted to S-level by accumulating credits after entering the academy. After hearing what Duruko said, I also wanted to see what kind of strength Rogge had.
There were more and more voices of approval from the students, but Morris was asked by Dean Anderson before leaving to take good care of everyone in Rogge's team, so he declined politely: "The S-level students who are admitted are more interested. It’s potential, Rogge’s current strength is not that of a high-level professional, so we should choose another candidate.”
The students who were attracted by Durco said in anger: "If you don't choose him, who should you choose? I don't think the Empire's new star is a match for this Holy Son. We can't let the Empire's new star go up and embarrass him, right?"
"That's right, if Rogge, a commoner, can obtain the qualification of an S-class student from Holk College, he should contribute to the college and the country. It doesn't matter if he loses his life if he goes there, and he can still have a reputation of not being afraid of strong enemies and bravely fighting. It's quite good. Okay."
"Yes, teacher, we all agree that Rogge will play."
Ofina became more and more angry as she listened. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Rogge.
Rogge stood up and said, "Deputy Dean Morris, let me go."
Filia tugged at the corner of Rogge's clothes and said, "I'll do it. It's too difficult for you to deal with the Holy Son."
Rogge smiled at Filia and said: "It's okay, just let me go. You can't defeat that pure spirit tiger without turning on the Soul of the Sun. I have a way to deal with it."
Seeing that Rogge had made up his mind, Filia stopped arguing with him and handed him her Crimson Flame Sword: "I'll lend it to you, Crimson Flame. Come on."
Ophina also said from the side: "Brother, just fight, even if you lose, we won't laugh at you."
The encouragement from the goddess and his sister was very helpful to Rogge. He took the Crimson Flame Sword, turned around and left the field with a handsome back.
"Tch, does he know how to use a sword? This is simply an insult to Miss Filia's sword."
"Yeah, I hope he can hold on for a few more seconds and stop being a fast guy, hahaha." Truco's follower mocked.
Philiya stared at them with cold eyes and said coldly: "I can give my sword to whoever wants to use it, and how many dogs can judge it? From today on, don't let me hear you. The dog called my name out of his mouth!”
Several people shuddered and hid behind Durco in silence.
Duruko still looked noble and elegant, scanning the girls in Rogge's team, thinking to himself: "You only have a few days left, and when we enter the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts, you will feel better! By then, , who should we start playing with first?”
