Listening to the laughter and cheers of his companions, Eddie Taylor revealed a bitter smile. Then, he swallowed hard, clenched his teeth, and prepared to be seriously injured. He gripped the longsword in his hand tightly.
The knight's longsword in Eddie Taylor's hand lit up with white light, and he rushed straight towards Joelson. If a knight wanted to fight a mage, he had to shorten the distance, while a mage had to widen the distance.
The distance between the two of them rapidly shortened, while Joelson remained in his original position, not moving at all. He did not even look at Eddie Taylor.
Seeing the state of Joelson, Eddie Taylor was pleasantly surprised. The white light from the longsword in his hand became even more dazzling.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong with Joelson?! Hurry up and widen the distance!"
"Did he use some kind of dirty trick?"
"No matter how powerful a mage is, his body is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. He can't be compared to a knight! His experience in fighting a knight is still too little!"
"No! Look at him! He seems to be laughing! He doesn't even put his opponent in his eyes!"
In the field, Joelson raised his hand again and pointed his index finger at Eddie Taylor.
Before he could do anything else, he saw Eddie Taylor fall in front of Joelson with a terrified expression on his face.
"Hahaha! How embarra.s.sing! How dare a knight like him step onto the stage!"
"Where's his arrogance when he first came here? Why isn't he arrogant now?"
"I think he's about to lose his incontinence because of Junior Joelson!"
The mage students were all mocking him, releasing their anger towards Eddie Taylor's rudeness. Only Tang Man frowned slightly.
On the other side, the knight students had ugly expressions on their faces. Only Engel's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
No one saw Eddie Taylor lying in front of Joelson. At this moment, the corners of his lips curled up wantonly, revealing a sinister smile. He knew very well that if they were to fight head-on, Joelson would be able to defeat him with one finger, however, even a very powerful mage's physical strength was not much stronger than that of an ordinary person. As long as he was slashed by a knight, he would immediately lose the ability to fight. Therefore, he came up with this plan!
Right now, Joelson did not release his magic s.h.i.+eld. This was his only chance. Eddie Taylor's nerves were extremely tense. Then, he suddenly burst out. The knight's longsword in his hand shone with a dazzling white light, this sword had boosted all of his combat aura!
"Not good!"
"Be careful!"
"Knights are also so sinister!"
"What a clever plan!"
"Well done, Eddie Taylor!"
"It's over! It's over! If Joelson loses here, it'll be too
Before the crowd could finish their words, the longsword in Eddie Taylor's hand was about to touch Joelson's neat mage robe when Joelson instantly disappeared from the spot.
Eddie Taylor's eyes widened and he was stunned. For a moment, he could not react to what was happening in front of him. He was looking for Joelson in fear.
"Behind you!"
He turned around abruptly and saw that Joelson was jumping in the air. There was a flame between his five fingers. Then, the flame expanded rapidly and turned into five ferocious fire pythons that rushed toward him. As soon as the fire pythons took shape, he felt a hot air wave blowing toward his face. He could smell the smell of burnt hair.
Eddie Taylor raised the sword in his hand to block the fire pythons. The white light attached to the knight's sword instantly melted. Then, the sword instantly turned into a pool of molten iron on the ground.
If the five fire pythons crashed into Eddie Taylor, he would be dead. Engel immediately stood up, but it was too late to stop them.
At this moment, Eddie Taylor looked at the burning fire python in front of him. His eyes were a little unfocused. His nerves, which had been stretched to the limit, were instantly broken. A turbid liquid soaked his pants.
Just as the fire Python was about to crash into Eddie Taylor, the flames suddenly extinguished and dissipated. The scattered sparks burned Eddie Taylor's clothes into strips of cloth. The scorching airwave also burned Eddie Taylor's hair and eyebrows, the top of his head and face were bald and pitch-black. He looked like a potato that had just been dug out from the ground.
Joelson immediately turned around and walked down the stage.
The people who were worried for Joelson earlier, and then worried that Eddie Taylor would die on the stage, were suddenly stunned when they saw Eddie Taylor's miserable appearance.
Then, a burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This Eddie Taylor is like a potato!"
"Hahaha, it's the kind that just came out of the ground!"
"It should be a baked potato!"
"That's right! Baked potato. It seems that our first chief Joelson is not only a magic genius but also a culinary genius!"
The audience burst into cheers again.
"Joelson!"
"Joelson!"
Seeing that Eddie Taylor's life was not in danger and that he was not seriously injured, Engel sighed and sat back down, he said to Stephanie who was beside him, "They should still send out Joelson. Don't underestimate the enemy when you go up. If you win, remember not to let him get hurt too badly. He has also held back on Eddie Taylor."
"I got it," Stephanie replied calmly. Her handsome and beautiful face was calm, but her eyes were burning with a strong will to fight.
"Joelson, you did well."
Before going on stage, Tang Man quickly walked to Joelson's side and praised him, then he said seriously, "Don't underestimate your opponent later on stage. The opponent is the owner of the Silver Cross Battle Aura. Although she is only a tier 5 knight, her strength is definitely much stronger than Hawthorne!"
"Oh, I got it."
Joelson nodded his head in a seemingly serious manner.
However, Tang Man could see that Joelson did not care about his reminder at all and shook his head helplessly.
Silver Cross battle-qi? What was that?
Joelson did not know, nor did he need to know.
He only knew that the current him was very strong! Very strong!
So strong that even he could not help but tremble at his own strength.
Before he went on stage, he saw two young men in purple mage robes smiling at him encouragingly and looking at him with admiration.
The two of them were older than most of the students on the stage.
They were handsome and similar-looking. They were twins.
If it was not for the return of the king, they would be the ones to handle today's exchange match.
They were old students who were above the sixth-tier mage level. They were even stronger than Stewart.
Joelson slowly walked up to the dueling platform. Stephanie was standing opposite him.
Stephanie raised the Knight's long sword in her hand to her chest and gave a Knight's salute.
This was the first time Stephanie bowed to someone. It could be seen how much she valued Joelson.
The game was on.
