Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Never Tired of Deceit (Fourth Update)
The Phoenix circled around Qin Sisi, with a noble posture, like a sacred Fairy, inspiring an unconscious sense of awe in those who beheld it.
Although Ya Ling had stopped practicing Fire magic, she knew that Phoenix Fire was the strongest skill within Fire magic. Since her opponent had played their trump card, she obviously couldn’t show any courtesy either.
"Ice storm!" Ya Ling also shouted loudly, her voice clear and decisive.
Silver-white magic power continuously released from her hands, swirling in the air to form a small storm.
The surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower, with countless ice and snow particles mixed into the storm. Getting hit by a single one could instantly freeze a person into an ice pop. If one were caught in the center of the Ice storm, with ice sharp as blades, snow like arrows, and winds like knives, one could be reduced to nothing but bones.
The sacred and noble Phoenix and the piercingly cold Ice storm rushed towards each other in mid-air, eting between Qin Sisi and Ya Ling.
The storm whirled, and the Phoenix, too, whirled. With the spinning speed growing faster, the outer colors alternated between golden yellow and silver white, at tis a burst of fla, at tis an ice ball erged, still displaying equal strength, it was hard to tell the victor from the vanquished.
However, Ya Ling felt very confident inside. Although both of them were Low-level Magic Stars, she had been promoted to Magic Star half a year longer than Qin Sisi. In theory, her magic power should be sowhat stronger. Moreover, she had absorbed a substantial amount of energy from Magic Crystal Stones in secret and would consu Spirit Pills to enhance her attributes’ spiritual power every month. She had no reason to fail.
The rotation speed of Phoenix Fire and Ice storm finally slowed down. After a struggle of mutual cancellation, the Fire Attribute Magic Power and the Ice Attribute Magic Power both dissipated, resulting in another draw between the two.
Ya Ling refused to accept this outco. She imdiately swallowed a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, ready to continue the battle. When she looked at Qin Sisi, she found that her opponent’s face was extrely pale, kneeling on one leg on the ground, her hand trembling as she fed herself a Spirit Pill, with traces of blood lingering on the corner of her mouth.
Ya Ling understood right away: Qin Sisi had already expended too much magic power and physical strength in the battle against the Fifth Order Demonic Beast Flaming King Snake, and even with the Spirit Pill, she couldn’t fully recover.
Just now, she forced herself to cast the strongest Fire magic skill, Phoenix Fire, and her magic power was overdrawn, leaving her sowhat exhausted.
If not now, then when?
A ruthless expression crossed Ya Ling’s eyes as she cast a barrage of Ice Arrow Rain, shooting nurous hard ice arrows at Qin Sisi, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
Seeing Ya Ling’s attack, Qin Sisi’s expression beca slightly flustered. She hastily used her Gold attribute Magic skill, Copper Iron Wall, to summon a Magic shield in front of her.
But she looked genuinely tired, and the shield of Copper Iron Wall wasn’t sturdy, only blocking the first half of the ice arrows before it dimd, allowing the remaining arrows to easily penetrate the shield’s protection and pierce Qin Sisi’s body, turning her upper body into sothing resembling a porcupine.
Ya Ling was so surprised that she almost couldn’t believe her own eyes. She swiftly flew forward, seeing Qin Sisi, who was covered in ice arrows, lying face-up on the ground, lifeless.
"Hahaha..." Ya Ling laughed joyously, releasing emotions suppressed for three years.
In the past three years, Qin Sisi had always been the top scorer in each assessnt. Now, the result of the final assessnt was that she finished last, which delighted Ya Ling trendously. She could already envision Qin Sisi crying and wiping away tears after stepping out of the Illusion picture scroll.
Suddenly, Ya Ling felt a cold sensation on her back, and her body seed to be drained of all its strength, becoming incredibly weak.
She slowly turned around, the scene in front of her so shocking that she couldn’t believe it. Her beautiful large eyes were wide open, looking almost frightening.
In front of her, Qin Sisi stood calmly, the illusion of a black Longsword in her hand slowly fading away.
Just when Ya Ling was smugly lost in the illusion of Qin Sisi’s "death," the real Qin Sisi had already circled behind her and took advantage of her relaxation to unleash the magic skill of the Sword of Yama. The Gold attribute black longsword pierced through Ya Ling’s body without hindrance.
Ya Ling saw her own blood flowing out inside her body, forming a river of blood on the ground. She could feel her vitality fading away bit by bit...
Qin Sisi was not dead; it was she who had died.
But why? Why did this happen? She clearly saw Qin Sisi get hit and fall down from her Ice Arrow Rain!
Ya Ling could not comprehend the reason no matter how she racked her brain, and she no longer had ti to understand, as her body completely lost its strength and slowly fell. The mont she closed her eyes, her body turned into a streak of white light, which was transmitted back to the real world by the Illusion picture scroll.
Only then did Qin Sisi let out a long sigh of relief and sat down exhaustedly.
All is fair in war. She tricked Ya Ling with a decoy doll and fought for her ultimate victory. However, after the battle, she was indeed exhausted.
When Ya Ling opened her eyes again, she was back at Tianyi Mountain, with Master Yipiao, Teacher Yu Sha, and others standing not far from her.
Ya Ling sprang up and saw the giant crystal screen in front of the trial tower. She could still clearly see her seven classmates busy running about, struggling to accumulate a few points.
She also saw Qin Sisi. She seed very tired, lying down and resting sowhere.
Ya Ling shouted resentfully, "Why? Why is it
who died, not her? This is not fair!"
She grabbed Master Yipiao’s arm in one swoop and yelled loudly, "Master Yipiao, Qin Sisi resorted to trickery, she cheated!"
Master Yipiao frowned and shook his sleeve subtly without a trace. Ya Ling felt no push, yet she found herself a ter away from Master Yipiao.
"All is fair in war. Did you not resort to trickery yourself?" Master Yipiao said indifferently.
Ya Ling was stunned for a mont, speechless.
She too had been cunning. She was already there when Qin Sisi was fighting the Flaming King Snake; she deliberately stayed hidden, hoping that Qin Sisi and the Flaming King Snake would fight to the death first so she could reap the benefits.
She indeed gained so benefits, as she killed the Flaming King Snake severely wounded by Qin Sisi and got those ten points.
But, she lost much more.
She was the first to be eliminated, with only about thirty points in total, making her the last in this graduation assessnt. This disgraceful title would be written in the notification to her family, presented for the clan elders to see.
Her father loved her and would not say much, but others would not be so kind. For a long ti to co, she would beco the butt of jokes among the people.
Ya Ling clenched her teeth fiercely, and her resentnt towards Qin Sisi deepened even more.
