Chapter 374: Chapter 201: Fairy Courtyard, Power of Sky Splitting

In the blink of an eye, the vast dueling arena transformed into a vibrant, colorful garden.

A rich, sweet fragrance quickly filled the air, and a faint, rainbow-colored light seemed to appear within it.

Upon contact with this light, the raging tornado shrank as quickly as a snowflake in the heat, dissipating into the air in no time.

"Hee hee!"

A crisp, pleasant laugh suddenly rang out as a swarm of palm-sized fairies with translucent wings on their backs flew out from nowhere. They flitted back and forth among the flowers, giggling incessantly.

"Fairy Courtyard!"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Wen Huachun was not the least bit flustered. Instead, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I heard that when Lady Zhu Ying was still a Level 3 Wizard, she used this very Magic to earn the title of ’unbeatable among her peers’ in Wenxing City. I’ve always wanted to witness it for myself. I didn’t expect my wish to come true today."

Zhu Ying was Ye Sinan’s mother and also the Rule Wizard of Wenxing City.

Hearing Wen Huachun mention her mother, Ye Sinan’s brow furrowed slightly. His calm reaction gave her a bad feeling.

"Since you’ve heard of the Fairy Courtyard, you should know its power. Just concede. Don’t waste your energy."

Wen Huachun’s gaze shifted from the fairies to Ye Sinan, a gentle smile on his face.

"If this were the Fairy Courtyard cast by Lady Zhu Ying back in her day, I would concede immediately without another word. However, you’re a far cry from what Lady Zhu Ying was back then. I’m confident I can still defeat you."

Ye Sinan’s eyes narrowed slightly. She huffed and said, "Talk is cheap!"

Unwilling to waste any more words on Wen Huachun, she snapped her fingers sharply. The frolicking fairies all froze in place. They then clasped their hands to their chests and began to chant in high-pitched voices.

A pleasant song echoed out. It was not a recognizable language, but a soothing and entrancing hum, like a mother’s murmurings next to an infant’s ear.

Wen Huachun’s gaze immediately became dazed. But soon, a Wind Source Bird beside him suddenly threw its head back and let out a shrill cry. It then exploded, dissolving into specks of light that rained down and formed a faint cyan halo around him.

The strange sound was blocked out, and Wen Huachun’s expression instantly cleared. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"The Fairy Courtyard’s Illusion Technique is as formidable as they say. Even with my wind element protection and all these Magic Items I’m wearing to resist illusions, I still fell for it. If I hadn’t sacrificed a Wind Source Bird, I would have been eliminated."

Seeing her Illusion Technique fail, Ye Sinan’s brows knitted even tighter. She clenched her teeth and launched the Fairy Courtyard’s final attack.

"AHHH!!!"

A series of sharp shrieks erupted from the fairies’ mouths.

Flame-like, cyan light erupted from their bodies, coiling around them and transforming into blurry humanoid phantoms. Their hands turned into sharp claws, and their exquisite, beautiful faces were left with nothing but empty eye sockets and black mouths.

In a matter of seconds, the group of cute, petite fairies vanished, replaced by hundreds of sinister and hideous banshees.

They shrieked, extending their claws as they lunged at Wen Huachun.

Wen Huachun’s expression remained unchanged. He raised a hand and pointed. Three Wind Source Birds shot out like arrows from a bow. Midway, they suddenly exploded, forming a cyan shockwave that swept forward. Everywhere it passed, all the banshees were wiped from existence, vanishing in an instant!

The strange plants that had covered the dueling arena vanished at the same time.

Ye Sinan’s eyes went wide, and she stared blankly at the scene before her.

"How is this possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible." Wen Huachun smiled faintly. "The Fairy Courtyard Magic is essentially an aggregation of wood elements. As long as you counter and neutralize it with a different element, it can be dealt with naturally."

"And as it happens, my Wind Source Birds are also an aggregation of wind elements."

Wen Huachun didn’t seem to care at all that he was revealing the details of his trump card to everyone, explaining it all on his own.

Ye Sinan stared at him for a moment, then sighed and waved her hand listlessly.

"I’ve lost."

With that, she activated the rune on the back of her hand without hesitation and departed in a stream of light.

Outside the Tower of the Holy Ring, many of the Wizards watching the scene on the screen sighed in lament.

"A shame for Ye Sinan."

"What’s there to be ashamed of? Ye Sinan was never as strong as Wen Huachun to begin with. Her defeat was to be expected."

"True. Wen Huachun was clearly holding back."

"Fei Xian and Pei Ze are up next."

At these words, many of the Wizards perked up and hurriedly turned their eyes to the screen.

Compared to the battle between Wen Huachun and Ye Sinan, the duel between Fei Xian and Pei Ze was undoubtedly of greater interest.

After all, one was widely regarded as one of the chosen ones most likely to win, while the other was a dark horse who had emerged from nowhere.

Many of those present were desperate to know who between the two would claim the final victory.

「In the dueling arena.」

Pei Ze slowly came back to his senses, a light flashing in his eyes.

The duel between Wen Huachun and Ye Sinan had shown him a different style of combat.

Compared to the Level 3 Wizards he had encountered before, both Wen Huachun and Ye Sinan had far more cunning and unpredictable fighting methods.

’Until the very end, you never know what kind of trump cards or backup plans your opponent has.’

’Against an opponent like that, the slightest carelessness could lead to a huge loss.’

Of course, if he were to actually face Wen Huachun or Ye Sinan, Pei Ze was confident that he could still win.

’After all, when it came to a contest of who had more trump cards, he had never feared anyone.’

’Wizards from Bloodline Clans, on the other hand, build their fighting styles primarily on their bloodlines. They’re relatively one-dimensional, preferring to crush all techniques with raw power.’
