Chapter 155: Five out of ten!
"Ehua, Rey, Melkor... Bloody Hand, I declare that you ten apprentices are the top ten in this apprenticeship competition!"
Whenever a name is read, there are supporters of the corresponding apprentice outside the venue. There was a cheer.
In the midst of the cheers, the fourth-level referee who had announced the list of the top ten flashed his eyes and changed the subject:
"Due to changes in plans, today's competition will directly select the top three of this competition. Next, the top five will be selected. The game begins!"
The game returned to the previous lottery system. After the referee drew lots on the field, the two sides in the first match of the top ten games were also decided.
"In the first game of the 10-to-5 match, Yihua versus Lapp!"
For Rapp, who had previously won the first game of the 20-to-10 match, Yihua had basically figured out the details of his opponent.
Hearing the referee's announcement, he walked directly onto the field without hesitation.
"The necromancer named Yi Hua has shown terrifying strength before. With his ability to infinitely summon second-class undead, there will probably be no accidents in this game." Seeing
Yi Hua walking onto the field, he suddenly A young apprentice stared at Lapp who was slowly walking onto the field not far away, and murmured in a low voice.
Hearing the other party's whisper, the companion beside him shook his head and analyzed:
"This is not necessarily true. Before, Rapp showed a terrifying soul witchcraft, shocking Norius, who had a strong physique, and knocked him out on the spot! "
"What do you mean?"
After hearing his companion's analysis, the young apprentice vaguely understood what the other party meant.
"Didn't you notice? The necromancer Yihua only summoned the undead to fight before, so his own physique may not be very strong. What's more, soul witchcraft can ignore the body and directly cause harm to the soul!" "I understand what you mean
. Well, most of its combat power relies on the undead. No matter how strong it is, as a second-class apprentice, it will be difficult to resist Rapp's second-class soul witchcraft attack!" There are many such analyzes outside the field, some of which are
biased towards Yi. Hua is also somewhat biased towards Lapp.
In the end, the odds between the two were almost even.
However, just a few seconds before the game started, Rapp, standing on the stage in a gray robe, raised his hand and said bluntly to the referee in the air: "Mr. referee,
I surrender this game!"
In an instant , Rapp’s calm voice spread throughout the arena, causing huge waves.
Hearing that Lapp was defeated without a fight, and even before seeing the game, Wu Jing's investment was lost in vain.
Thousands of apprentices who invested in Wu Jing, thinking that the two sides were in a draw or that Lapp had won, couldn't help but shout in unacceptably.
"You're admitting defeat before even competing? Rapp, what are you doing!"
"Rapp, I misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be a coward!"
After hearing Rapp's choice to admit defeat, Yi stood opposite Rapp. Hua also frowned slightly.
In his opinion, he has not yet demonstrated any power other than the art of soul retrieval and second-class undead.
In the eyes of other apprentices, Yihua should be a necromancer who conforms to the stereotype of being frail and whose strength relies entirely on the undead.
With the soul witchcraft he had shown previously, it stands to reason that Lapu should think that he has a certain chance of winning against Yihua.
In the end, he surrendered so simply.
It was Rapp who felt that he was not sure of defeating him and wanted to hide his strength.
Or did he realize that he still had some strength left, and chose to stop in time and escape unscathed?
While Yi Hua was thinking, the scolding and scolding of a large number of apprentices outside the venue became more and more intense, but none of these could make Lapp change his mind.
In the end, after repeated confirmations from the referee, Rapp insisted on admitting defeat.
Just like that, after announcing that Yi Hua had won the game, he sat back in his still warm seat in the contestants' box.
Lapp's act of admitting defeat also allowed the thousands of apprentices who bet on Yihua's victory to make a small profit.
After seeing Yihua's potential, the number of apprentices who invested in Wu Jing to bet on Yihua's victory also increased, from the initial hundreds to thousands.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third games were between Rey and Melkor and two other top ten apprentices.
Rey's opponent is a body refining wizard who has a physique close to that of an earth knight and is blessed with numerous body-strengthening witchcraft.
However, under Rey, who has fourth-level soul affinity, he cannot even force Rey to use third-level soul magic.
Rey waved his hand and used the second-level soul witchcraft Soul-Eating Flying Skull that he had used in his battle with Yihua.
In an instant, fifty soul-eating skulls were summoned, covering the arena like a gray-white cloud.
Under the blocking pursuit of fifty soul-eating skulls that ignored the strength of the body and directly caused damage to the soul, the physique of the body-refining wizard was useless.
Just after he was hit by the first Soul-Eating Skull due to his inability to dodge, his defeat was already doomed.
The soul-level impact of the soul-eating skull caused it to freeze in place. The other soul-eating skulls took the opportunity to bump into the body-refining wizard one after another, directly damaging his soul and causing him to fall unconscious.
As for Melkor's opponent, he is a traditional elemental wizard named Rody.
With his proficiency in the witchcraft of the four attributes of ice, fire, wind and thunder, and through clever coordination, he had previously created a highly entertaining duel.
This also earned Roddy the title of "Elemental Magician".
However, the opponent he faced was Melkor, who in Yihua's opinion could almost be called the strongest apprentice of this year.
Just at the start of the match, Melkor, who exuded a cold aura, flashed red in his eyes, and the spiritual pressure from the extraordinary life form - the Shadow Snake made Roddy's body stiffen and he fell into hallucinations.
Before Rody could wake up, a huge black claw formed from a dark shadow and covering a radius of more than ten meters pressed down from the air and hit Rody heavily.
The moment he sensed the power of the shadow claws, Rudolph frowned and snorted coldly.
The moment he heard the cold snort, Melkor's body went cold, and Rody, who had fallen into a hallucination, suddenly woke up.
But the shadow claws above Rody's head showed no signs of dissipating. Instead, they faintly revealed a transcendent aura that was superior to that of fifth-level instructors.
Before Rody could escape a few steps, the shadow's sharp claws pressed heavily on him.
boom!
Accompanied by violent vibrations, gravel splashed across the arena.
When the claws of the shadow dissipated, Rody's figure had disappeared without a trace. On the ground of the arena, which was made of hard bluestones, a large pit several meters deep and emitting dark smoke appeared.
Seeing Rody's violent death, the apprentices who supported Rody outside the field expressed their dissatisfaction and denounced Melkor's killing of Rody.
Seeing this, many Masonic apprentices retorted:
"The competition does not prohibit apprentices from fighting. If you can't afford to lose, don't participate! It is his honor to die at the hands of President Melkor!" Seeing that he had
not been able to before After successfully preventing Melkor from killing him, Rudolf frowned.
