Chapter 970: Chapter 55: Magic Showdown

"What? Is there a rule that forbids it? Just because you all don’t dare to use magic for fear of consuming your divine power and divine sense doesn’t mean that I won’t dare." Mu Qingge said with a mischievous smile.

Yan Quan’s face darkened, the sword in his hand pointing at Mu Qingge, cold light flashing sharply.

Yet, Mu Qingge’s words left him speechless.

Indeed, the rules never stated that one couldn’t use magic from the start. However, throughout the years, to endure the entire competition, no one would use magic at the beginning for fear of excessive early consumption leading to a critical loss at the end.

Gradually, such a habit became an unwritten rule, and everyone followed it.

Who would have thought that this time a Mu Qingge would appear?

Completely disregarding the rules, it’s simply chaos.

Yan Quan sneered sarcastically and said, "You think you’re clever?" The disdain in his eyes was strong, as if mocking Mu Qingge’s complacency, thinking it would ultimately lead to her downfall.

However...

Even after mocking Mu Qingge, Yan Quan did not feel any happier.

His gaze solemnly turned towards Mu Qingge. Because if Mu Qingge continued using magic, then to resist, they would also have to use magic. The result would be rapid consumption of divine power and divine sense, making the outcome unpredictable.

Thinking this way, Yan Quan’s eyes started glancing around.

After a while, he sneered and said, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you, using magic so early, you won’t be able to endure a normal competition. I’m afraid before you win three matches, your divine power and divine sense will be exhausted, forcing you to withdraw. Why pursue a moment’s satisfaction only to lose the competition?"

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master Yan Quan, for the reminder." Mu Qingge’s smile carried an inscrutable meaning.

Zhuang Shan approached Mu Qingge, whispering in her ear, "Even though this Yan Quan is not a good person, his words have another purpose. But we can’t deny that he’s telling the truth."

Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Magic consumes too much, it’s a war of attrition, don’t act like a hero for a moment." Li Chao also softly reminded.

The two of them were naturally doing it for Mu Qingge’s good.

But Yan Quan was different. His words were only to prevent her from using magic, forcing their side to counter with magic.

"I have my own discretion." Mu Qingge quietly replied to the two.

After speaking, she looked up at Yan Quan.

Yan Quan’s originally dark gaze improved somewhat due to Mu Qingge’s reply. He smiled and said to Mu Qingge, "That’s right, everyone abiding by the rules is good for everyone."

Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile without commenting further.

As their conversation ended, many stewards from the Zhong Shan Domain appeared, surrounding the large arena in a circle.

Each held a jade token, seemingly responsible for recording each person’s ten consecutive wins.

With everything ready, the atmosphere on the arena became subtly delicate again.

Originally, the people of the Three Divine Domains united against the Zhuoyu Domain.

But now, it had turned into an individual battle. Whoever first achieved ten consecutive wins would advance and earn the spot for the Dao Light bath. Gradually, people of the Three Divine Domains also began to split, wary of each other.

Seeing this change, Yan Quan sneered inwardly, the scorn in his eyes intensified.

His mockery seemed to laugh at the fragile alliance between the Three Divine Domains in the face of personal interests. However, he never considered that there was never an agreement among the Three Divine Domains to unite against the Zhuoyu Domain.

Everything was simply because their previous cheating and scheming caused collective anger, prompting the people of the Three Divine Domains to subconsciously unite.

Even now, as the individual competitions begin, the Three Divine Domain people would still show no mercy when facing the Zhuoyu Domain, only being ruthless.

In the arena, people from the Four Divine Domains were all on guard, with no one making the first move.

The stalemate made spectators outside growing impatient.

"Why hasn’t it started yet?"

"Hurry up and start, don’t waste time."

"That’s right, if you’re afraid to fight, just step off the arena. Standing there without fighting, what’s the point?"

The surrounding discussions stirred up a restless mood among many disciples on the arena.

Originally, they were already very nervous about fighting the people on the arena; now, with these discussions, they felt even more agitated.

They glanced around, secretly watching to see who would make the first move and who would be easier to defeat.

Si Mo stood among the crowd, showing no signs of impatience. He just watched Mu Qingge, as everything else was irrelevant to him.

Meanwhile, Divine Emperor Zhong Shan, sitting on the Ice Lotus, remained indifferent, with a smile on his lips and eyes slightly narrowed, watching everything on the stage, neither urging them to start nor stopping the discussions around.

"In this individual competition, let us each do our best." Li Chao glanced over the ten people, offering a low reminder.

"The top ten Palace Disciples is an awkward position. If we want to win, we have to find those weaker than us, but winning will also invite criticism. Who would be foolish enough to offer themselves for abuse? If we find someone equally matched, it may drag on, reducing the chances of securing ten consecutive wins, and there’s the issue of speed." The fourth young master said softly.

"This is something that can’t be helped. If we continue to be at a stalemate, it will be disadvantageous for us. In any case, no matter who the opponent is, we must finish the fight quickly. Ensuring advancement is the most important thing," said Li Chao.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, her gaze coldly fixed on the people from the Zhuoyu Domain, "Then it’s simple, use magic to catch them off guard. As long as we advance, at least securing a spot among the top hundred will be assured."

Her words made the eyes of the other nine light up, intrigued.

"In other competitions, everyone only thinks about endurance and is always worried about consumption. We’ve never tried this method of quickly cutting through the chaos. Maybe if we implement it according to Old Third’s idea, we might actually seize a big opportunity," Li Chao said.

However, Xuan Qiang frowned, hesitant. "But if we use magic, others respond and also use magic, wouldn’t everything return to square one? Instead, we might increase the risk due to excessive consumption."

Her point was not without reason.

Both options carried risks, leaving everyone unsure how to face their opponents.

Mu Qingge remained silent for a moment, then said, "This depends on whether you’re willing to gamble. Don’t forget, only the first four who break through will have a chance to compete for the top three."

The crowd’s eyes focused.

That’s right, they almost forgot about this matter.

Although the top hundred have the qualification to be bathed in Dao Light, only the top positions can enjoy it for ten days.

Li Chao’s eyes continuously changed, as if he were fiercely debating within himself.

"Ah——!"

At this moment, before they could finish thinking, a disciple from Wei Yi Domain raised his weapon and slashed toward a disciple from Zhong Shan Domain beside him.

Finally, someone broke the stalemate, and the arena immediately came to life.

The disciples of the Four Divine Domains all started battling each other, and the scene became chaotic.

"Everyone, decide for yourselves!" Li Chao shouted and rushed toward a Wei Yi Domain palace disciple charging at him.

Mu Qingge stepped back with her right leg, raised her right hand, and her five fingers made a virtual grip. A flash of gold and silver light appeared in her hand, and as the light faded, the Linglong Spear was in her grasp.

She glanced to the right at a Zhuoyu Domain disciple charging at her, his features twisted, eyes fierce, seemingly not competing but out to kill.

Mu Qingge chuckled coldly in her heart, and the Wood Element Law Power emerged again. Illusory vines once more shot out, entangling the Zhuoyu Domain disciple advancing towards her.

As he froze, shocked, Mu Qingge was already in front of him, and with the spear’s tip, she lifted his collar and flung him forcefully.

The illusory vines quickly retracted, and the person was sent flying by Mu Qingge, smashing hard outside the arena.

This change happened in an instant, so fast he couldn’t react before being eliminated.

Mu Qingge had already won one round.

Yan Quan repelled one opponent, turned to look at Mu Qingge, and felt the Law Power surrounding her. His expression drastically changed, his eyes narrowed, and he bitterly said, "You’re using magic!"

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, gazing directly, innocently saying, "Can’t I?"

Without waiting for Yan Quan to respond, she swiftly used the Wood Element Law’s magic again, trapping five Zhuoyu Domain disciples fighting on the stage and lifting them into the air.

The five, inexplicably bound, barely had time to glance down at the illusory vines around their waists before feeling their feet come up, suspended in midair.

Suddenly a red light flashed before their eyes, and they felt themselves flying out, crashing beyond the arena.

"Ah——!"

With this strike, Mu Qingge won five consecutive rounds, adding to the previous one, totaling six victories. With four more wins, she could directly advance and secure a spot among the hundred.

Most importantly, at this moment, the fastest participant had only won two rounds.

At this rate, squeezing into the top four to compete for the top three was absolutely no problem for her.

Mu Qingge’s unconventional methods were unexpectedly effective, making others itch to try it too.

Isn’t it just magic?

Standing on this arena, who couldn’t use it?

Instantly, in one corner of the arena, the light of magic rose again, accompanied by two screams, and when everyone turned to look, they saw two people flying out off the arena.

This unexpected scene shocked those still stunned into sudden awareness.

Suddenly, who even cares about consumption?

Everyone began summoning Law Power, using their best magic.

In an instant, on the arena, lights of various Laws flickered, and those on the stage abandoned close combat for this fast, effective method.

Anyway, at this moment, whoever’s magic was formidable, whoever’s speed was faster, could easily win.

"Ah!"

Bang!

"Ah——!"

Bang bang!

Many slower and less reactive disciples were directly thrown off the stage.

Onlookers were dumbfounded. They had never seen a competition with such rapid eliminations...
