Chapter 346: Revealing the Answer! Details Determine Success or Failure

The first match of the quarterfinals.

It ended with the crushing defeat of Princess Saint Lucy.

The audience wasn't overly shocked, only filled with sighs and emotions.

After all, this non-specialist had already proven his strength to the audience in the previous matches.

Whether it was Saint Lucy's victory or the non-specialist's victory, it wouldn't be surprising.

However, the audience sighed because...

The non-specialist won too easily!

Just one black flame whirlwind was enough to severely injure Princess Saint Lucy.

This was unbelievable.

Even if she lost, it shouldn't have been so outrageous!

"That's not right..."

"How did the black flame whirlwind pass through the 'Anti-Magic Vortex'?"

"Don't just say that, even Princess Saint Lucy herself is probably confused."

Indeed.

Even now, lying on the luxurious soft bed after being revived, Princess Saint Lucy was staring blankly at the ceiling.

She was equally puzzled.

She was still thinking about why her anti-magic skill, 'Anti-Magic Slash', failed.

Clearly, in previous matches, this skill worked flawlessly.

Every magic-type opponent was troubled by her 'Anti-Magic Slash'.

Except for...

That non-specialist!

Thinking of this.

The aloof, indifferent tall figure appeared in her mind again.

Her hand involuntarily reached her slender, white neck.

Ah...

The suffocating feeling when that non-specialist gripped her neck made her feel both desperate and... comfortable.

Coupled with that cold, indifferent gaze that seemed to see her as less than human, it almost made her pass out from the pleasure.

No...

Her body was starting to heat up...

Outside the hospital room, the Saint Light Luan had just opened the door and saw his master's face flush.

He was stunned at first, then let out a heavy sigh.

Sigh!

What kind of situation is this?

How did I end up with such a perverted master!

...

...

"Ling Shen! Congratulations on advancing to the semifinals!"

"Amazing! So amazing!"

"Next, keep the momentum and make it to the finals, then win the championship directly!"

"..."

When Ling Zhan returned to the waiting area, his teammates showered him with praise.

Defeating Princess Saint Lucy so easily, this undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Dragon Kingdom's players.

"Congratulations."

Li Chaoge also came to Ling Zhan, her cold, beautiful face showing a charming smile.

She had already anticipated this result.

"The last black flame whirlwind was not a composite spell but a physical skill, right?"

Immediately, this keen-eyed student council president spoke, revealing the secret.

The other players, who were eavesdropping on the conversation, widened their eyes in shock.

"Ah? It wasn't a composite spell?"

"How is that possible..."

"Since when can physical skills merge?"

Here, another point must be mentioned.

Magic skills can merge to form more powerful 'composite spells' because many magic elements 'complement and enhance each other'.

To give the simplest example.

The Five Elements Theory in Dragon Kingdom's fortune-telling, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire...

Magic elements also have this kind of 'mutually reinforcing' relationship.

But there are also incompatible elements, like water and fire elements can't form a 'composite spell'. (Assuming pure water and fire element fusion)

Ling Zhan could fuse 'water element' and 'fire element' into the elemental storm...

Because other element skills were 'interfering', making 'water element' not just 'water element', and 'fire element' not just 'fire element'.

Of course...

This method of using other elements to break the 'repulsion principle of magic elements'.

Ling Zhan learned it from the library at Tianyan Academy.

And the difficulty of performing it is extremely high.

Generally speaking.

Only when reaching the level of a Tier 3 Mage King, can one easily perform composite spells with so many elements.

Ling Zhan, as a non-specialist, performing it shocked all the spectators.

As for physical skills...

They can't generate magic elements, so naturally, they can't form 'composite physical skills'.

At this point, someone might wonder.

'Blazing Slash' is a physical skill of a Blademaster.

Isn't that imbued with magical fire elements?

Actually, that is not a magic element, but merely the 'attack effect' produced by the skill.

All physical skill effects are categorized as 'attack effects', not 'magic elements'.

"That's right..."

"The last black flame whirlwind was indeed a physical skill."

Ling Zhan calmly nodded, not hiding anything.

That move was essentially a 'Gale Slash' imbued with the black flame effect of the S-tier skill 'Sunday'.

The black flame of the S-tier skill 'Sunday' is also not a magic element but an 'attack effect'.

When activated, all attacks will carry black flames.

And because it is a unique god-tier skill exclusive to the system.

It can even wrap around his other skills, including magic skills.

In other words, if Ling Zhan casts a water ball with black flames one day, it wouldn't be surprising.

As for the whirlwind...

It's simpler.

'Gale Slash' was strengthened by 'Almighty'.

It now has a new effect.

[Gale Slash (B): Consumes mana, swings the sword to release a slash like a gale, and each use grants a stack of 'Gale Fierceness'.]

Note:

1 'Gale Fierceness' lasts for 10 seconds.

2 When 'Gale Fierceness' stacks to 2 layers, the third 'Gale Slash' will generate a powerful whirlwind.

As mentioned before.

Ling Zhan never underestimates any enemy.

Even if the enemy is a helpless child.

So, Ling Zhan always carefully watches each match, observing each contestant's fighting style.

Princess Saint Lucy's battle habits were already well understood by Ling Zhan.

Whenever facing magic skills, she would always use 'Anti-Magic Slash' as a muscle memory.

And 'Anti-Magic Vortex' can only neutralize magic skills, but not physical skills.

When she saw the black flame whirlwind, recalling Ling Zhan's battle with Albert.

She would 100% use 'Anti-Magic Slash'.

Ling Zhan leveraged this to heavily injure Princess Saint Lucy and win the match.

So...

Details truly determine success or failure.

Especially at this level of combat.

Any slight mistake caught by the enemy could lead to immediate defeat without any chance of resistance.
