Chapter 373 – Finals In The Secret Plane
Finals In The Secret Plane
"He actually used up all his spiritual force and formed a corrosive attack able to cover the entire area of the stage!"
The old Magus beside Leylin was astonished as he touched his beard, "Looks like Carl has improved quite a bit! It’s a pity that with this method, too much spiritual force is consumed. He’s destined not to succeed in the next selection battle!"
"That might not be so," Leylin laughed and pointed in a direction, "Look!"
"Oh?" This rank 2 Magus looked in that direction and laughed, "He actually used a precious spiritual force restoring potion? Such a thing could save his life at a crucial moment!"
In a corner, Longbottom’s hands trembled and he almost flung out his potion bottles.
"Again! Again!" His expression darkened.
Leylin snickered in his heart. His own gaze was now at a stage where Longbottom could not discover it, so he constantly attracted the attention of the rank 2 Magi beside him to the fellow, giving him a lot of stress.
Having teased him enough, Leylin did not want to shoot himself in the foot and directed the attention of the rank 2 Magi away. "By the way, are you interested in visiting my laboratory after the competition ends? Nature’s Alliance’s special fish is somewhat effective for rank 2 Magi…"
At another end, Longbottom sighed, "Then again, Green-robed Carl’s original strength loses out to that of Fire Scorpion. Though I tried to conceal it, I still attracted attention. I’ll need to be more careful in the future…"
"My apologies, please let me pass!" At this moment, a Magus squeezed in, looking hurried.
"What are you doing?" Longbottom pushed the other person away.
The two were suddenly caught in a daze.
Though they had disguised themselves, Longbottom was still able to recognise Baelin at first glance, while Baelin had also recognised his former buddy.
The two of them stared at each other, but because of some unspeakable reasons on both ends, they silently swallowed their words. They did not attempt to expose each other’s identities.
"Number 188! Number 188!" At another end of the stage, the judge was starting to get impatient.
Baelin’s body trembled and he hurried on. "I will stop you!" he said softly when passing Longbottom.
"I’ll wait and see!" was the immediate reply.
As match after match went on, a few geniuses made a name for themselves, resulting in the adulation of the audience.
Leylin had also picked out a few people. "Lilina from the western region, Haylon of the voodoo marshes, and then Baelin as well as Longbottom and their friends and subordinates will take up the top few spots in this genius Magi competition."
With his knowledge as a rank 2 Warlock, he easily found those so-called ‘geniuses’.
Usually, these geniuses would be considered the ‘main characters’ of the era and were important figures in history. However, such influence was nothing compared to Leylin!
"The champion should be either Baelin or Longbottom." Leylin concluded.
"They really are the converging point of Twilight Zone’s forces of destiny. Their strength has risen by so much, and I believe these two have even touched the boundary of the rank 2 realm."
Leylin sighed in awe. With this rate of improvement, even Aaron and the other ‘fake’ geniuses he had made with his grandpas, leave alone Lilina and Haylon, were left in the dust.
The preliminaries were very quick.
By nightfall, about half out of the numerous contestants who had signed up had been eliminated. Numerous Magi became familiar with some of the great battles here, and some were even turned into videos and supplied to large-scale guilds to pick from.
Baelin and Longbottom, as well as the other contestants that Leylin had thought highly of, had not failed their missions. They passed through the preliminaries, and even earned themselves a reputation.
Amongst the Magi at the competition area, they had become somewhat famous.
