Chapter 671: Chapter 335 First Battle_1

"No. 1, Long Dangdang. No. 2, Hu Ruiqiao. Enter the arena." The announcement from the referee, who stood at the center of the Magic Temple, marked the official start of the Internal Great Impartation Contest within the Magic Temple.

Long Dangdang was representing his teacher, Zi Tianwu. The person who walked out opposite him was a petite female mage.

The female mage wore a cloak-style, bright red mage’s robe. Its hood hid her head entirely, and she wore a mask over her face. Only her lively pink eyes were visible. In her hand was a dark red magic staff that was nearly half a meter taller than her. Inset at the top of the staff was an irregularly shaped gemstone that sporadically emitted a golden-red light.

Her attire seemed to declare that she was a mage specializing in fire—the purest form of it, at that.

Long Dangdang was vaguely familiar with the name Hu Ruiqiao. Although he was now an Adamantine Cathedra knight, he and Kongkong had only officially joined the temple not long ago, and they immediately became demon hunters. As such, they were not well-acquainted with the situation inside the temple.

The only thing that Long Dangdang knew about his opponent was that she hadn’t made it to the top six and hence was not a seeded player. That was all there was to it.

"Prepare for a five-second countdown. Five, four, three, two, one, begin." The lead referee started a countdown, and these five seconds served as the time for the mages to prepare their initial magic.

Long Dangdang held the Chaos Magic Staff and wore a gold rush mage’s robe. At this moment, the distance between the two sides was one hundred meters, which was the standard distance for a battle between mages.

He swiftly began chanting a cryptic spell under his breath, causing elemental fluctuations around his body to intensify rapidly. Circles of golden light radiated out from under his feet to form a five-meter-diameter rune, and light elements from all directions began to converge towards him.

Meanwhile, the female mage on the opposing side had also raised her staff. The next instant, a terrifying aura erupted from her. The intense heat emanating from her swiftly distorts the air around her. The gemstone atop her staff suddenly burst with blinding golden-red light, followed by a sudden appearance of a fireball above her head, which resembled a miniature sun and had a diameter more than three meters.

Not only was the fireball incredibly hot, it looked terrifyingly lethal. It had even taken form without her having to chant any spells.

Even with Long Dangdang’s strength, he felt a fear that seemed to stem from the depths of his soul in that instant. It was not just an ordinary fireball. It could pose a deadly threat to him. Could it be that powerful?

Outside the testing field, in a brightly lit room, six mages wearing robes were seated on six chairs. They looked like ordinary people with no obvious elemental fluctuations surrounding their bodies. In front of them, was a large screen comprised of condensed magic elements, showing the competition taking place inside the testing field.

Sitting in the center was a man appearing to be in his forties or fifties with a quite ordinary face and incredibly profound eyes. Sitting on his left was the man known as the Deep Darkness Sovereign, Wu Di, who was the darkness specialty Magic Demigod, and Long Dangdang’s second magic teacher.

Undoubtedly, these six figures represented the six sacred legates of the Magic Temple. The reason there were no elemental waves around them was that the elements they could activate were too intense; if they interacted with each other, it might lead to a catastrophic outcome. Thus, they had to restrain and suppress their powers. When mages become powerful enough, they could cause changes to their surrounding environment. These six figures represented the world’s leading Magic Demigods.

"Elder Shi, the staff that boy is holding. It’s one from your Tri-Sun Harmony, isn’t it?" the middle-aged man inquired with a hint of concern.

The old man sitting on the far right, who was wearing a bright red robe with his long white eyebrows hanging low, replied, "It is not divine by itself. It doesn’t violate the rules, does it? In the Great Impartation Contest, the impartation itself is part of the competition."

"You’re just shameless because you saw how good the rewards are," retorted Wu Di with a cold sneer.

Elder Shi opened his eyes, looking as if lava was flowing in their depths, "What does it have to do with you?"

Wu Di suddenly laughed, "Of course it matters. Although the boy is not competing in my name this time, he is still my disciple, a Closed-door Disciple, do you understand?"

The expression on Elder Shi’s face visibly changed, and he swiftly turned around to look at the screen.

At that moment, in the arena, Hu Ruiqiao, who was hiding behind a mask, had a slight smile on her lips. The colossal fireball above her head was released and shot straight towards Long Dangdang, right at the sound of the start of the match.

Her staff, known as Yueyang Golden Shower, was a well-known powerful weapon in the Magic Temple. To be precise, it was a branch of a Divine Artifact.

In the entire Magic Temple, there were very few items that could reach the level of Divine Artifacts. Among them was this fire specialty staff, whose owner was Hu Ruiqiao’s teacher, the only one among the six sacred legates who was approximately the same age as Wu Di— the fire specialty Magic Demigod Shi Xing.

Shi Xing specialized in fire and controlled the Tri-Sun Harmony Magic Staff. The Tri-Sun Harmony could be divided into three staffs: Yueyang Golden Shower, Longyang Weeping Fish, and Morning Glory Crowing Phoenix, with the latter serving as the core. It could be considered the strongest fire attribute weapon in the world at present. When the Tri-Sun Harmony is activated, it could bring about complete destruction.
