Chapter 297: The Debut of Extraordinary Magic Network
Not only them, even the officers in the command room were stunned, whether it was Lei Bo, who supported Luo Shuang, Xie Yufei, who supported Lin Xiao, or those generals with golden stars on their shoulders.
No, it would be more accurate to say they were shocked.
Even these True Gods couldn’t imagine before the summoning that Lin Xiao would summon these creatures. Even with the wildest imaginations, they never thought they would see a scene where a student at this level would summon over a hundred thousand Rank 7 Giant Elite Water Elents in an instant. This was beyond their knowledge, unprecedented.
“Fuck, what did I just see?”
An elite from the military couldn’t help rubbing his eyes and asked his companion loudly, his face full of disbelief.
“I think I saw… a lot of elite Water Elents?”
His tone was one of skepticism.
“You’re not seeing things, he really did summon many elite Water Elents.”
Wu Zhonglin also had a hint of shock in his eyes and was full of confusion; this was just too abnormal.
He had always been considered the exceptional child in the eyes of other parents, the freak in others’ eyes. But no matter how freaky he was, it wasn’t to this extent, right? A hundred thousand elite Water Elents is equivalent to a hundred thousand Rank 7 High Transcendents – what concept is this?
Even the prodigies from the regular rankings might not be this powerful, right?
Putting aside their shock, at this mont on the battlefield, the summoning of over a hundred thousand elite Water Elents filled the entire battlefield. Water Elentals of this grade naturally possess a radiating force field that automatically gathers surrounding hydro energy. What concept would it be when so many elite Water Elents gather?
The entire Elental Plane’s Water Elents began to converge towards this area. From a distance, it appeared as though a vast expanse of blue light was converging here; the whole world seed to be covered by blue Water Elents.
The moisture in the air visibly increased at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye, from damp to wet, then mist rose, and turned into liquid dew. Countless droplets of dew converged to form water. In just a short ten minutes or so before the two sides engaged in battle, the convergence of moisture from the entire plane ford a water domain centered around these hundred thousand elite Water Elents, rapidly expanding and subrging the battlefield.
This natural change, akin to a natural disaster, forced Luo Shuang’s troops to halt. A large number of Priests and Mages had to bestow underwater breathing spells and the like on them; otherwise, once subrged, they would all drown.
Even the Terrifying Dragon Tribe was no exception. The creature was indeed huge, but as pure land-dwellers, they couldn’t swim. Usually, with its size, even entering the sea couldn’t drown it; but now, the endless pure water controlled by the enemy rendered its height useless.
Within a short ten or so minutes, a vast man-made ocean took shape. Luo Shuang stood in mid-air with his mouth slightly open, looking at the subrged battlefield and his Clan mbers struggling futilely in the water, his face filled with helplessness.
This move was completely unexpected for him. Originally, upon seeing a hundred thousand Rank 7 Elf Water Elents, he had a premonition that he would lose; but before he could even make a move, just the natural change naturally produced by the gathering of so many giant Water Elents rendered him helpless.
There was absolutely no way to fight. If it were just a plain water domain or swamp, they could still have a go, but this sea controlled by the enemy, as if it had a life of its own…
“How can we fight this?”
Lei Bo, the leader of the Nirvana Battle Group, slamd his hands on the table, startling the other officers. He turned to Xie Yufei with a look of frustration:
“Damn it, where did you find this kind of freak? What kind of cheating move is this? How can we fight this?”
At this mont, even Xie Yufei herself was a bit confused. The earth-shattering battle she had envisioned hadn’t even started, and it seed like they were about to win. This was simply…
So exhilarating!
And hearing Lei Bo’s annoyed table-slamming, she placed her hands on her hips and burst into hearty laughter:
“Don’t worry about whether it’s cheating or not, your guy brought out that huge Terrifying Dragon Clan mber, isn’t that also cheating? If you can make your guy fight without the Terrifying Dragon, then my little… well, that’s for later. I won this round, hand it over!”
One hand on her hip, she stretched out her fair, slender hand with a justified air.
“Fuck, you just got lucky.”
“What luck? This is skill, this is power. How about next ti we don’t use this move and let them fight again?”
“Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“Idiot.”
…
Inside the challenge space, the ocean had already fully ford, turning into a massive pure water sphere over ten kiloters in diater. As the mountains collapse and the tsunami cos crashing down, Luo Shuang spreads his hands with a face of helpless acceptance that signifies concession.
He wasn’t soone who couldn’t accept defeat; if he lost, he lost, without any nagging thoughts of accusations like cheating. Instead, he was very curious and asked:
“Is this your trump card then?”
Lin Xiao was silent for a mont, then nodded:
“You could say that.”
“What do you an ‘you could say that’? Don’t tell you have other trump cards?”
“Yeah.”
“Fuck! I’m done fighting.”
Although he had lost, Luo Shuang wasn’t too desperate. Lin Xiao’s move was abnormal, but not unsolvable; it was just that this first ti was too sudden, and he was caught off guard without any preparation.
First of all, through his observation, the Small Fishman in Lin Xiao’s Clan summoned these elite Water Elents and imdiately collapsed in the water afterward, which ant these ordinary Clansn summoned the elite Water Elents through so special thod at the cost of overexertion, and they were powerless after summoning.
Also, summoned elents like these could be dispersed through banishnt spells.
Moreover, summoned elents generally have a duration, after which they automatically return to the Elental Plane.
Taking these three points into account, if they ca prepared next ti, he felt it wouldn’t be unmanageable.
But since he lost this ti, he promptly chose to surrender without any reluctance to delay.
Upon exiting the Divine Realm Login Cabin, Lin Xiao clearly noticed a change in how the elite officers looked at him. Gone were the various eager intentions to challenge; instead, they were replaced with acknowledgnt and respect.
Luo Shuang erged from the Divine Realm Login Cabin and stretched out his hand with a bright laugh:
“Your trump card is quite powerful, I think there’s a codena that suits you well, Water God, you can call yourself Water God.”
Wu Zhonglin imdiately nodded and said:
“That codena is not bad, it just so happens that no one on the List of Young Geniuses is using it, it fits you.”
Lin Xiao: …..
“Cough, I don’t think that’s very good.”
He imdiately vetoed it.
The title of Water God wasn’t prestigious enough, and summoning Water Elents wasn’t really his trump card; besides, the codena sounded odd.
They certainly weren’t going to fuss over that, as Luo Shuang cast a suggestive glance at Wu Zhonglin and said:
“Old Wu, didn’t you say you wanted to have a match with him? We’ve finished our fight, now it’s your turn.”
Wu Zhonglin laughed and said:
“I know what you’re thinking, but you know what my core race is. Do you think I’d be scared of his summoning Water Elents when I’m prepared for it?”
“Scared or not, we’ll only know after the fight. I’m quite eager to see who is more powerful – the Dragon Emperor, who has been ranking in the top three ever since he entered the secondary list of the Young Geniuses, or this newcor who reached the top tier as soon as he got listed,” Luo Shuang said.
“Then let’s do as you wish!”
Wu Zhonglin looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of fighting spirit, and Lin Xiao’s gaze matched his own.
He had always been curious about Wu Zhonglin’s strength, what his race was, and what kind of ‘cheat’ he had that allowed him to rank so high on the List of Young Geniuses when he was only Rank 1 – an astonishing feat that in over 30,000 years of the Main World’s history, adding up to fewer than five individuals, which was even rarer than the birth of the Great Divine Power throughout human history.
This curiosity had built up for so long, and today it was finally going to be unraveled.
“All personnel, proceed imdiately to the assembly hall! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!”
“All personnel, proceed imdiately to the assembly hall! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!”
“All personnel, proceed imdiately to the assembly hall! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!”
The urgent call halt everyone in their tracks. Lin Xiao, who was half-stepping into the Divine Realm Login Cabin, paused and raised his head to Wu Zhonglin, who was also preparing to enter the cabin, and spread his hands out, saying:
“What a coincidence, next ti then.”
He too shrugged his shoulders and said:
“Indeed, it is unfortunate.”
anwhile, the other elite mbers of the military were already lining up to leave. Luo Shuang was talking loudly as they walked:
“Discipline is paramount in the military; if you don’t want to be punished, it’s best not to be late.”
The two exchanged a smile and quickly followed the others.
Following the group downstairs swiftly, they took a major road to another compound, entering a tal structure at the center – the assembly hall.
Upon reaching the second floor, he saw five or six military officers seated on the dais, with Xie Yufei among them.
The group lined up in front of the dais, saluted, and then sat down.
The officers on the dais returned the salute and sat down, a colonel stood up and said:
“It was quite interesting watching you fight, but unfortunately, we just received orders from the Expeditionary Army headquarters. We must depart imdiately to the Frontline Fortress, where the contest with the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools will take place.”
His gaze swept all the elites below as he spoke loudly:
“This operation is your mission for the year, success is the only option, failure is not. If you win, this year’s mission will be considered complete; if you fail, ten points will be deducted.”
“You will be inford of the specific rules of the contest when you arrive. Are there any questions now?”
The crowd was silent, and Lin Xiao did not speak either. After waiting for about half a minute with no responses, the major general waved his hand:
“Prepare to depart!”
An invisible force descended upon them, and Lin Xiao felt the space around him warp – he had left the fortress and appeared in a small room aboard a Void Ship. Looking through the porthole, he could see the twisted Void outside as the Void Ship was charging up for teleportation.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The crisp knocking sounded, and he looked toward the door screen, which showed Xie Yufei and several soldiers.
He opened the door, she gestured for her subordinates to leave first, then walked in with her hands behind her back, a smile spreading across her face:
“I didn’t expect you to be so strong. You’ve earned so face this ti, and as a colonel, I’m very pleased.”
As she spoke, she extended two slender fingers and a sprinkling of starlight converged into a card emitting a rich crystal glow, which she handed over:
“Here you go, I always keep my word. I said if you won, I’d give you a standard Wizard Tower Construction Blueprint, and now it’s yours.”
Lin Xiao didn’t hesitate to take it, thanking her sincerely:
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
“No need for that, you are my man, you earned face, this is your reward.”
She patted his shoulder and added:
“In future, you will see that as long as you perform well under , you will not be shortchanged.”
