Chapter 22: Confrontation Period

  Because he was very confident in himself, Hu Siming rubbed his fists and prepared to give the first formal battle a perfect start. But what he didn't expect was that the cute mage who was facing him had also been holding back a lot of energy.

  He earned 200 general points in the entrance exam, but spent nearly 20 points on some furniture for his dormitory. In other words, if he couldn't win this game, it was possible that he would be expelled from the academy by October. To avoid falling to that point, the eccentric magic teacher's heart was filled with a desire for victory. Therefore, as soon as the two armies clashed, the eccentric magic teacher launched a fireball attack on Hu Si Ming.

  "Stronger than me?"

  Seeing the anxious Xiu Zuo, Hu Si Ming was slightly surprised, but he didn't rush to fight back. Instead, with his rich experience, he calmly took two steps back. The eager Xiu Zuo immediately followed, taking two steps forward, but failed to notice that he had already entered the soldiers' hatred circle. Upon seeing the enemy hero attacking their own hero, the Tree People soldiers immediately abandoned the nearby Ghoul and charged towards Xiu Zuo.

  In the early stages, the attack of the soldier line is not to be underestimated for a mage. Although the cute mage beat Hu Si Ming, he was also beaten by Shu Ren three or four times and actually didn't gain an advantage.

  "It turned out to be a newcomer."

  Seeing the other party's performance, Hu Shiming felt more and more solid in his heart.

  He calmly and steadily carried out the positive and negative supplements, occasionally using fake movements to interfere with his opponent. The battlefield's supplementary knife was already more difficult than in the game, and after being disturbed by Hu Si Ming's small movements, the showy demon master immediately became a bit flustered.

  At this time, the second wave of troops had arrived.

  With the experience of suppressing the backlash, Hu Shiming was the first to upgrade to level 2 and also learned a skill called "Dimensional Shift". This skill can change dimensions in a short period of time, making him immune to all damage. Although the duration of the first level is less than one second, using it well can dodge many attacks.

  This is also the key for Fairy Dragon Park to show off!

  However, the cute mage didn't care about the phase shift. After being interrupted again while trying to finish off his opponent, the cute mage finally got anxious. He raised both hands upwards, making the casting motion for a Light Strike Array, wanting to use his skills to suppress Hu Si Ming with a strong attack now that he had just leveled up to level 2, so as to stop him from continuing to harass him recklessly.

  Unfortunately, this action was just too obvious.

  A true master, when releasing a light strike array, either predicts the enemy's movement in advance or uses fake movements to deceive them continuously, and then strikes when the opponent thinks it's safe. But this new student in front of him was far from mature, and very straightforwardly released a light strike array under Hu Si Ming's feet.

  "You're putting on a show in front of me, do you think I'm blind?!"

  Hu Si Ming cursed in his heart, and when the other party raised their hand, he shifted sideways, using the high-level technique of Guang Ji Zhen's pre-shake and 0.5-second delay to directly walk out of the range of Guang Ji Zhen. The showy demon mage only saw a fierce flame erupting from the ground, but it didn't harm anyone.

  "Was I avoided?"

  With some surprise, he raised his hand again and released a skillful Dragon Break Slash.

  This is an AOE spell that can damage units up to 1200 distance away, and the casting speed is extremely fast, with no delay at all. It's very difficult to dodge this skill by walking. However, facing the flames that were approaching him, Hu Si Ming did not panic, but instead calmly activated his spatial shift when the flames arrived in front of him.

  Although it was his first time releasing it, the temporary inheritance of the heroic legacy made Hu Siming's actions as smooth and familiar as if he had released it hundreds or thousands of times.

  Under the effect of the psychedelic power, his body transformed into a ball of light and entered an invincible state for a short time. The flames of Dragon Breaker swept over him but still couldn't deal any damage.

  "Grass!"

  Two skills in a row were all empty, making the Qiaopi Magic Instructor somewhat flustered. After the position transfer ended, Hu Siming took this opportunity to continuously attack him twice. To know, Hu Siming's equipment was pendant plus three branches, and his attributes were extremely high. Two normal attacks, the damage was still quite impressive. When the Qiaopi Magic Instructor couldn't help but turn around and try to fight back, Hu Siming retreated in time again, perfectly suppressing the opponent with his movement.

  Although he was furious in his heart, the showy demon conductor couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness when faced with Hu Siming standing steadily behind the troops. He could only use the Tree Sacrifice to recover some of the consumed blood and wait for the next opportunity.

  At this time, a team fight broke out on the lower road.

  The newly promoted 2nd-level Vagabond Swordsman and Giant Toothed Sailor, who had slightly misstepped, took action against the Death Prophet. The Giant Toothed Sailor rolled up a snowball, pulling in the Vagabond Swordsman as well, and charged towards the Death Prophet. After the snowball stunned its target and burst apart, the Giant Toothed Sailor emerged from within and immediately released shards of ice, perfectly sealing off the Death Prophet's escape route.

  Then, the wandering swordsman caught another Storm Hammer!

  Three skills, combined with the two people's normal attacks, were originally enough to kill the Death Prophet. However, the nearby Devouring Magician timely released a Flame Blast, briefly stunning the Ranged Assassin. Moreover, when the Death Prophet came out, he was worried about encountering the opposing team's long-range attack, so he brought a Circular Shield in advance.

  This small round shield that can block harm saved Yan Shao's life.

  As the ice shards disappeared, he immediately turned around and ran down the tower. The wandering swordsman had opened his battle cry, wanting to chase and kill him. But the cannibalistic mage dutifully provided a spark. Yan Shao also timely used a healing ointment, restoring his blood volume. As a result, both sides exchanged a round of skills, but neither could kill each other!

  Yanshao's death prophecy was indeed consumed by a potion, but the wandering swordsman suffered from skill exhaustion and was finally hit twice by the defensive tower, his blood volume severely damaged.

  Unlike the lower road where no one had an advantage, on the middle road, Hu Si Ming's advantage became increasingly apparent.

  After leveling up to level 3, Hu Shiming had two levels of Phantom Ball and one level of Phase Shift. In the next wave of soldiers, he chose to add two knives one by one, and used his movement skills to release the Phantom Ball at a perfect angle. As this golden magic ball oscillated forward, two Ghoul soldiers, one mage soldier, along with the concentrated Hu Shiming, were all hit.

  The two-level Illusionary Ball has 140 damage points, which is quite impressive in the early stage.

  After clearing the soldier line, Hu Siming took advantage of the Phantom Ball's properties and appeared directly beside the Clown Mage, boldly launching a close-range general attack on him. The Clown Mage refused to show weakness, turning around with a Dragon Break Slash, but his attack power was not higher than Hu Siming's, and the Tree People soldiers also closed in. Against the soldier line, he had no way to counterattack Hu Siming, and could only be forced to retreat under the tower.

  This withdrawal allowed Hu Shiming to chase and hit three normal attacks, until he entered the tower's hate range before finally stopping.

  After this round of consumption, the blood volume of the cute demon master dropped to a rather embarrassing level. Although he had more supplies than Hu Si Ming, his current life value was directly using healing ointment somewhat wasteful, and one Tree of Sacrifice couldn't fill it up either. After weighing it carefully, thinking that the situation was still relatively safe, he finally chose to eat the tree, slowly recovering his life value.

  Hu Si Ming and others have been waiting for this opportunity!

  It was just a wave of offense at the beginning of the third level, only consuming his blood volume. This time, Hu Siming is going to use his real skills.

  Because of the soldier's advance into the tower, with the help of the Night Terror on Route 1 Tower, it was quickly pushed back. Hu Si Ming ate a tree in advance to fill his blood, then pretended to make a positioning mistake and was attacked by the Xiu Qiao Magic Master twice. This impulsive newcomer immediately lost his cool and chased after him.

  Seeing this, Hu Siming returned to his own high slope and stood still, feeling relieved as he turned around to launch a joint attack with the mischievous demon master.

  "Am I afraid of you?"

  Seeing Hu Shiming didn't leave, the Showy Demoniacal Master snorted, and Long Pozhan and Guangjizhen struck one after another.

  Suddenly, flames splashed everywhere!

  However, Hu Siming, who had already written a killing script, calmly took a hit from the Dragon Breaker's damage and then used his position transfer to dodge the light attack array again. Before the clown magic teacher could react, Hu Siming's second phantom ball of law flew out quickly, another 140 points of law damage.

  With the ability to transfer to the location of the Illusory Ball, Hu Siming also dodged his normal attack.
