Chapter 183 Strength determines status!
The hard stone wrapped with huge force was not even resisted for a second by the shield exuding gray-brown rock texture, and a shattering sound was heard.
After the stone thrown by Yihua shattered Jace's second-class granite shield, the rough edge of the stone was blessed by the extreme power of Yihua's earth knight, and easily scratched Jace's cheek.
Poof!
In an instant, Jace felt a burning sensation on his cheek.
"Huh?"
Feeling the strange feeling coming from his cheek, Jace subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek. He immediately felt that his fingers seemed to be stained with a large amount of warm and moist sticky liquid.
Feeling something bad in his heart, Jace quickly retracted his palm, only to see that his palm was already soaked in scarlet liquid with a faint rusty smell.
"Blood! It's blood! I'm injured!"
Jace's face was full of horror when he realized what the scarlet liquid in his hand was. He tripped over the armrest of the stone chair behind him and collapsed on the ground.
"Temporary Vice-President, are you okay?"
Seeing that Jace was injured by a stone thrown by Yi Hua, the surrounding Masonic apprentices showed incredible shock. After reacting, they quickly stepped forward to show concern. road.
As for Jace, after a brief period of panic, he suddenly realized something, deliberately showed an exaggerated and distorted expression, and seemed to be holding back the severe pain and said: "Help, an
apprentice has hurt someone!"
Hearing Jace's shouts, the little boy Yelling, a third-class law enforcement apprentice who was maintaining order in the arena not far away frowned, stepped forward and took a look at the blood on Jace's face, and said with a serious face: "
Spectators are prohibited from hurting each other during the competition! Violators will be detained for a week. ! Who hurt you?"
Hearing the law enforcement apprentice's inquiry, Jace seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly pointed to Yihua, who was sitting in the contestants' seats not far away, with his face switching between joy and horror:
"Law enforcement apprentice, that guy attacked me!"
Among wizards, especially this dark wizard academy, the rule of the jungle is taken to the extreme.
Rules are used to restrain the weak from beginning to end. The strong can ignore the rules, and the stronger can even establish and break the rules!
The law enforcement apprentice subconsciously followed Jace's finger and looked not far away.
After seeing that the person Jess was pointing at was none other than Yi Hua, who was third in this competition. The bloody hand who had killed him was even better than him in terms of strength, the law enforcement apprentice's originally serious face suddenly froze. .
Just when Jace was confused, the middle-aged third-class law enforcement apprentice's face suddenly darkened.
Snapped!
The law enforcement apprentice suddenly formed a long whip of blue water and struck the wound on Jace's face hard.
Jess, who was in pain, said "Ah" and was knocked to the ground. He covered the wound on his face and looked at the law enforcement apprentice in front of him with a confused expression.
Without wasting time, the law enforcement apprentice snorted and said bluntly:
"The rules of the competition should be very clear. Spectators are prohibited from hurting each other in the arena!"
Hearing the words of the middle-aged law enforcement apprentice, the apprentices watching the excitement looked around, A look of confusion appeared on his face.
Jace became even more puzzled and quickly said:
"Master Law Enforcement Apprentice, of course I know the rules of the game. Please punish that guy quickly!"
Hearing Jace's words, the middle-aged third-class law enforcement apprentice snorted coldly, his tone Bu Shan said:
"Didn't you understand what I said?"
Seeing that the whip in the hands of the law enforcement apprentice showed signs of falling again, Jace covered his face to expose the bones and bleeding wounds, while racking his brains Think about it.
After a moment, Jace's eyes lit up and he asked in an uncertain voice:
"Master Law Enforcement Apprentice, I don't quite understand. Doesn't that guy Yi Hua count as an audience?"
Hearing Jace's tentative inquiry, the Law Enforcement Apprentice clicked He nodded and said coldly:
"That's natural. He is a contestant in this competition, how can he be counted as an audience?" "
This..."
Hearing this, Jasper, who was covering his face, was stunned.
In fact, due to Yihua's current strength and fame, the law enforcement apprentice played a little word game in order not to offend Yihua.
The game prohibits spectators from attacking each other, but there is no explicit mention of prohibiting players from attacking spectators.
As for whether the players watching the game are counted as spectators, it all depends on which side the law enforcement apprentice who maintains order favors and how he wants to explain it.
Jace was obviously dissatisfied with the result. He tried to argue with the law enforcement apprentice:
"But sir..."
Seeing that Jace still dared to talk back, the middle-aged law enforcement apprentice secretly glanced at Yi Hua not far away.
Seeing that Yi Hua seemed to frown, eager to calm down the matter, the law enforcement apprentice who left a good impression on Yi Hua turned cold and scolded: "
But what the hell! Yi Hua is not an audience, so it does not violate the rules, but you , violated the rules, provoked disputes in the arena, disrupted the order of the game, I will sentence you to go to the academy's solitary room after the game, and be detained for seven days!" Hearing this
result, Jace's eyes darkened, and he even They all forgot about the burning pain in their cheeks, their bodies swayed, and their faces turned pale.
Now, after the competition, it is only seven days before the apprentice exam officially begins.
This period of time is a prime time to sprint, improve your strength, and prepare the materials needed for the exam.
If the confinement is really seven days, it means that Jess will not have time to prepare for the exam in advance. In the rush, he will not even be able to pass the exam alive!
After all, during the apprenticeship examination that is held every three years to select apprentices going to the mainland, apprentices are not prohibited from killing each other and are even encouraged to do so!
Even if you don't mention these, if the guild leader Melkor knew that he had just been promoted to temporary vice-president, he would have made such a big mistake and been sent to the solitary room by his own eyes.
I'm afraid not to mention whether the position of temporary vice-president can be kept, it is estimated that the first person to kill him will be the guild leader Melkor.
Out of the instinct to survive, the pale-faced Jace managed to put on a flattering look and prayed:
"Sir, I am the temporary vice-president of the Freemasonry. The third-class apprentice who is about to win on the stage is exactly Mr. Melkor, the president of our organization, can you please be accommodating and exempt me from punishment?"
Hearing this, the law enforcement apprentice frowned and felt a little embarrassed. He subconsciously glanced at Yihua not far away, and the shadows in the sky in the arena further away. Melkor in the form of a giant snake.
Both Melkor and Yihua are top geniuses among the thousands of apprentices in this class. They are expected to go to the mainland in the future, with a glimmer of hope of becoming an official wizard.
It was far more than he, a third-class law enforcement apprentice with exhausted potential, could afford to offend.
However, if he retracted his words and gave up punishing Jace, he would definitely offend Yi Hua in front of him.
But if there is still no relief after Jace takes out Melkor's name, there is a certain probability that he will offend Melkor.
After thinking for a while, the law enforcement apprentice came up with what seemed to be the best of both worlds:
"For Melkor's sake, besides confinement for seven days, I will give you another option, which is to pay a one-time fine of one hundred witch crystals. !"
Seeing that the law enforcement apprentice was resolute and there seemed to be no possibility of taking a step back, Jace hesitated for a moment and said, "
Sir, I choose to pay the fine."
After saying that, Jace took out forty or fifty pills from his pocket. Wu Jing.
Since each witch crystal is the size of a pigeon egg, which makes it inconvenient to carry, Jace did not carry enough witch crystals with him to pay the fine.
Seeing that the witch crystals he carried with him were not enough, Jess shamelessly spoke to the surrounding Masonic apprentices, improvised a hundred witch crystals, and barely paid enough fines.
At this point, this matter has come to an end.
Jess, who mocked Yihua, did not get any benefits in the end.
After a stone thrown by Yi Hua caused a bone-deep wound on his face, not only did Yi Hua not pay the slightest price, he instead paid a fine of hundreds of witch crystals.
You know, the average annual income of an ordinary second-class apprentice is only about ten witch crystals.
As a second-class apprentice at an above-average level, Jace's annual income was only twenty or thirty witch crystals because he had no means of making money such as making scrolls or potions.
Putting aside daily expenses, even with the income from the previous battle to defend Camilla City, he has only accumulated hundreds of witch crystals now.
Just because of a few words of ridicule to Yi Hua, all his years of savings were instantly lost.
I originally planned to use these savings to purchase scrolls and magical items to compete with Jace for a higher ranking in the next apprenticeship exam.
Thinking of the little Wu Jing left in his hand, his face was full of regret, and he felt his heart was bleeding. Now he didn't even dare to look at Yihua again.
Just after the law enforcement apprentice left with the fine paid by Jace, the surrounding audience began to whisper.
"I didn't expect this to be the result."
Seeing that the law enforcement apprentice unabashedly favored Yi Hua and took Jace away for punishment, the young second-class apprentice who had previously discussed how Yi Hua would respond to the ridicule had a look of disbelief on his face.
As for the second-class apprentice who thought Yihua would silently endure Jace's taunts, his face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"As expected of the vice-president!"
Gabriel and others who had previously fought back to defend Yihua saw the situation instantly reverse when they saw Yihua take action.
Without being punished at all, Jace paid a heavy price. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his trust in Yihua deepened.
"Apart from the Holy Light Bead I gave him, Rey and the Mobius Ring given by Mentor Simon can at least withstand the damage caused by Melkor's previous attacks several times." At this moment,
Yihua no longer paid attention to the surroundings. Farce, he returned his gaze to the arena, looking calmly at the pit where Rey was.
On the field, Melkor, who transformed into a giant shadow snake and had just cleaned up all the soul-eating skulls left by Rey, was suspended in mid-air dozens of meters high.
He looked at the deep pit created by Rey being shot down by him, and seemed to know that Rey would not die so easily. He sneered and said,
"Rey, do you still want to continue pretending to be dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mir Dozens of half-meter-long, shadowy black snakes the size of loaches emerged from Kou's body.
After appearing, these black snakes swam in the air at an astonishing speed, attacking towards the deep pit where Rey was.
