Feng Xiaohuang's smile slowly stiffened, because she saw Bexia, who had already lost, standing perfectly in front of her after the flames dissipated, not even a corner of his clothes was damaged. And around him were eight ice mirrors, some good and some bad, with three rotating ice shields around him!
These were the middle-level defensive magic skills of Ice Mirror and Ice Shield!
Bexia actually defended himself unharmed!? And he used magic to do it? How is this possible? In just a few seconds, he used two magic skills at once!!
Feng Xiaohuang looked at the referee on the side because she didn't feel that Bexia released these magic skills himself. He may have used some magic scrolls or props, but those things were not allowed to be used on the arena. Once used, it meant conceding defeat. This was a well-known rule.
"The match continues!" the referee also said in astonishment. He saw everything through the flames, and both of these magic skills were used by Bexia himself, and they were both instant!
Don't underestimate him just because he's a referee. Everyone who comes up here is a master, and each one is not weaker than Extreme. Otherwise, how could a referee be authoritative? How could he determine the final winner? So his words proved a lot of things!
"So, you are a Mage-Warrior dual cultivator!" Feng Xiaohuang looked at Bexia in astonishment.
"Do I need to report this to you?!" Bexia withdrew the ice shield next to him and said.
"Alright! If you can withstand my next move, I will surrender..."
"No need, because you have already lost!" Bexia put away his battle blade and lightly snapped his fingers.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound rang out, and immediately Feng Xiaohuang's expression changed. A stream of water spread from her ankle to her shoulder, securely binding her.
"Water Flow Bind!"
A lower-level control magic skill, with a very fast release speed, but not very powerful. It can be easily broken free from, but sometimes causing a little trouble is enough to determine the outcome of a battle, just like now.
"Earthquake!"
Another control type magic skill. Feng Xiaohuang, who was already bound, was thrown by a force coming from the ground and landed with the sharp tip of a battle blade already at her slender neck. With the referee's command, it meant she had lost.
"Bexia, victory!"
"I concede!" Bexia withdrew his battle blade, reached out his hand to help Feng Xiaohuang up, but she was very strong, the kind of genius who could fight several levels above, but unfortunately she met Bexia, this kind of monster.
"Are you a monster?!" Feng Xiaohuang looked at Bexia seriously and at the same time grabbed his hand to stand up.
"Uh!!!" Bexia was speechless. Who says things like that?
"Your magic skills are all instantaneous. Clearly, you have such strong magical talent, why do you pretend to be a warrior?!" Feng Xiaohuang said somewhat grumpily. She still had her ultimate move that she hadn't used yet. Losing like this was unacceptable to her.
But thinking about Bexia's instantaneous magic skills, she probably would have lost long ago if he had been serious, right? Who can withstand the relentless bombardment of an elemental mage?!
"Hehe!" Bexia smiled without explaining anything, and then said, "You are also very powerful!"
"You're amazing!" Feng Xiaohuang turned around and shook his hand confidently. "I'll find you for a sparring match if I have the chance!"
This second battle really broadened Bexia's horizons. Feng Xiaohuang was indeed very powerful. Anzu was truly a place hiding many talented individuals. No wonder Bor asked me to come and participate in this tournament. The help I received here is immense.
In the battle with Feng Xiaohuang just now, Bexia gained a lot of insights. For example, the move where she attacked with her hands and feet simultaneously broke the styles she had learned from the Asman Kingdom. During her time at the academy, battles were generally just tests of weapons' prowess. It would not include suddenly kicking with one's foot when using weapons. They considered it a sneak attack and against the code of conduct for knights.
In Anzu, they also possessed martial ethics, but their battles were much more diverse than those on the mainland. They could use their entire bodies as weapons - arms, legs, knees, back, etc. - to attack their opponents. This gave Bexia great inspiration.
Although Long Momo mentioned this concept when teaching Bexia before, she didn't pay much attention to it. Long Momo didn't say much either, so although Bexia had been exposed to this martial arts concept, she didn't have the same level of awareness as she does now.
Next, Bexia didn't go up to the stage, but continued to stay on the platform to prepare for challenges from others. This was permitted by the tournament, although most people would choose to rest after a victory. After all, having just experienced a battle, their condition needed to be restored.
But there was one situation that didn't matter, which was easily defeating the opponent without consuming too much energy, maintaining their maximum combat power. In such cases, they could continue on with the tournament, fighting one battle after another, all the way to the tenth battle if they wished. Of course, the premise was that they could handle it!
Afterwards, Bexia accepted three consecutive challenges. The opponents in the second and third battles were not particularly strong. If all the participants were categorized, these two people could only be considered elite among ordinary individuals. However, faced with Bexia's abnormal power, they could only obediently increase the number of imprints for her.
In the fourth battle, the opponent was not a local from Anzu, but a swordsman from the Lopez Empire. He was much stronger than the previous two, with exceptional swordsmanship. However, when facing Bexia's instant magic, he was quickly eliminated as well.
Bexia wanted to continue, but there was no one coming up to the stage later on. After all, she had shown too much power. Those who had finally increased their imprints didn't want to give away their heads to others. After waiting for about ten minutes and still no one challenging her, Bexia was called down from the stage by the referee. After all, it was impossible to let her occupy the platform indefinitely, or else the tournament would be in chaos.
One of the rules of the Dragon God Tournament was that if no one challenged within ten minutes, then no matter what, the person on the stage had to come down and let others have a turn.
"I was planning to see if I could obtain the Great Dragon Token in one go!" Bexia walked down from the stage, feeling a bit speechless.
"Don't get cocky, kid. This is just the outer circle. The real masters are inside. They also like to dominate the stage just like you. Go challenge them and see!" The referee pointed impatiently at the center of Shen Square. This guy's words were really infuriating!
"Oh, really? Then I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Bexia glanced at Christine in the audience. It was still early, and now she seemed to be thinking about where to go next.
"I'm new to Anzu, so I'm not sure if the referee has any recommendations for places to visit?" Bexia asked.
"If you don't have anywhere to go, I suggest you go to the grand market. You might stumble upon something good there!" The referee said casually, and then resumed his duties as a referee.
