Chapter 110: Violent Output, Crushing!
Boom!
Just as Lu Jun and his team broke free from the forest cage, a vast expanse of pale-white flames surged toward them. The flames carried a powerful impact, engulfing and assimilating the surrounding crimson fire, converting it into an unending stretch of ashen white.
Having anticipated this, Lu Jun controlled his Star Map. Tidal waves surged around him, and a vast expanse of mist permeated the air, while a brilliant azure radiance soared into the sky.
Water Element: Intermediate-Tier, Level 2—Tide: Violent Wave: Surging Billows!
With a stomp of his foot, a ripple-like Star Track intertwined a vast azure magic formation a hundred meters ahead, encompassing both the ashen fire sea and the Imperial Academy Team.
Whoosh!
Before Mu Tingying and the others could react, a torrential water column erupted beneath their feet, soaring over ten meters high. It resembled an overwhelming tidal wall, majestic and imposing.
The ashen fire sea was instantly extinguished. In the face of the boundless seawater, it was insignificant, merely evaporating a portion of the azure tide, producing vast clouds of white mist and steam.
In an instant, the entire Beast Battle Arena underwent a dramatic transformation. The once lush terrain of vines and scorched land turned into a vast water domain, submerging everything. The water depth reached three meters, and at its center, where Mu Tingying and her teammates were located, whirlpools emerged. Fountain-like water columns, each over ten meters in diameter, continuously erupted.
Only Guan Yu managed to escape swiftly by stepping on wind tracks, using his Wind Element to glide over the water's surface and narrowly avoid the explosive core.
Mu Tingying, Nanrong Ni, and Jiang Yu, however, were not as fortunate. The intense impact sent them flying into the air, forcibly interrupting their casting. Their armor and shield magic tools activated in succession, preventing them from being crushed into pulp by the immense water pressure.
Even so, they found themselves temporarily unable to land.
Meanwhile, the Warrior-level Summoned Beast: Rock Beast—a colossal, heavy entity—was also swept into the air by the overwhelming tidal surge. Its once white-gray granite body was now washed into a murky yellow, continuously eroded by the dense water currents.
The once upright Rock Beast now resembled a bloated mud creature, swelling in size. When it finally crashed down, a massive wave exploded upon impact. Its body shattered into pieces, sustaining severe injuries.
Fortunately, as an Elemental Demon, its body was composed of rock elements; otherwise, it would have perished outright.
Of course, under normal circumstances, a Warrior-level creature would not be so easily subdued by an Intermediate-Tier spell. It was purely due to elemental suppression.
Lu Jun's Intermediate-Tier, Level 2 Water Element spell displayed astonishing effectiveness, nearly single-handedly shattering the Imperial Capital's four-person team.
Compared to Expulsion, the Level 1 version, Surging Billows not only had double the water output but also greatly enhanced its control effects, making it nearly inescapable.
Inside the protective barrier, the Beast Battle Arena had transformed into a massive marine habitat or an enormous swimming pool. The four members of Pearl Institute's team, equipped with Profond Water Dragon, moved freely in the deep waters, gaining complete strategic dominance.
Realizing the dire situation, Guan Yu gritted his teeth. If he did not act now, they were bound to lose. However, before he could construct his Wind Element Star Map, his body suddenly stiffened.
Without him noticing, countless dense, dark-green silk threads had materialized around him, forming an intricate web that covered nearly half the battlefield.
It was like a massive spiderweb—layer upon layer, countless threads entangled him.
Guan Yu was utterly trapped. Not only was his physical body immobilized, but even his soul was gradually being sealed. He could no longer manipulate the Nebula within his spiritual world.
"Curse Element—Evil Spider's Trap! When did this happen?"
Recognizing the familiar aura, he instantly recalled Zu Jiming's magic, his heart sinking in despair. Struggling, he attempted to activate his mental magic tool in a bid to break free.
A faint ripple burst forth from the pendant on his neck, spreading outward in translucent waves. The force tore through portions of the spiderweb, opening up a gap in the inescapable net.
Guan Yu was ecstatic. He was about to break free and turn the tide of battle!
However, he failed to notice a faint, dark-green mark creeping across his forehead. Above him, a pitch-black abyss quietly unfolded, from which a six-eyed demonic spider, nearly half the height of a human, emerged. Its compound eyes gleamed with insatiable greed.
Chirp! Chirp!
A peculiar sound rang out. Before Guan Yu could react, the curse imprint on his forehead exploded. A violent spiritual shockwave and excruciating physical pain overtook him. His very flesh emitted a sickening "sizzle" as if rotting away.
From the abyss, the enormous dark-green Evil Spider pounced, latching onto his head. Its grotesque mandibles tore into him—not just his flesh but seemingly his very soul—devouring hungrily.
Buzz!
The two-pronged attack instantly shattered Guan Yu's mental defenses. A splitting pain spread through his consciousness, as though countless tiny insects were gnawing at his brain.
"AAAAHHHHHH!!"
Guan Yu let out an agonized scream, collapsing to his knees, drenched in cold sweat. The entangling silk threads closed in around him, rendering him utterly defenseless.
Curse Element: Intermediate-Tier, Level 2—Imprint: Evil Spider's Trap: Devouring Spider!
Unlike the Level 1 version, Weaving Web, this spell summoned a soul-devouring demon from the Dark Plane, inflicting devastating, continuous damage. Any Intermediate Mage caught by it, without a Spirit Fortifying Magic Tool, was as good as dead!
Just like Chao He before him, a High-Intermediate Mage with peak-level skills, capable of wiping out four people in an instant!
Although Lu Jun's cultivation was slightly lower, his spiritual realm was vastly superior. Furthermore, Curse Magic inherently defied resistance—even Spirit Fortifying Magic Tools struggled against it.
The referee, Gu Han, swiftly intervened and removed Guan Yu from the battlefield. Fortunately, it was merely a tormenting curse; had it been a soul-reaving curse, Guan Yu would already be dead. His elimination was indisputable.
The audience erupted into cheers—Pearl Institute now had an overwhelming advantage!
Lu Jun, having disposed of one opponent, withdrew his gaze and resumed his stance atop the water, drawing his second Tide: Violent Wave: Surging Billows.
During this brief interval, the three remaining Imperial Capital members, still airborne from the previous wave, refused to concede. Clad in full-body magic armor, Mu Tingying gritted her teeth, unleashing her Intermediate-Tier, Level 2 Ice Element Magic—her primary cultivation.
However, before she could act, Ding Yumian, Dongfang Ming, and Bai Zhengfeng struck simultaneously. Their combined efforts synchronized perfectly with Lu Jun's, swiftly eliminating another opponent.
Splash!
A cyan whirlwind surged atop a water column, lifting tons of seawater skyward. Jiang Yu, caught in the aquatic tornado, was crushed by the immense pressure. His armor cracked under the strain.
Jiang Yu couldn't even cast magic—Ding Yumian's spiritual suppression locked him in place. White Zhengfeng then commanded layers of frost chains, resembling giant ice pythons, to slither through the water, binding Jiang Yu mid-whirlpool.
Buzz!
Referee Gu Han promptly severed the Bone-Crushing Ice Chains. Had they wrapped fully around Jiang Yu, his body would have been pulverized.
Within mere moments, Imperial Capital had lost two members!
Mu Tingying and Nanrong Ni managed to escape by freezing a portion of the water into a towering crystalline ice pillar, but their expressions were grim.
Before they could retaliate—
BOOM!
Lu Jun unleashed his second Surging Billows, enhanced by a 20% boost, nearing High-Tier standards. The entire arena surged in response.
At this rate, the fourth Tide Surge would likely reach the minimum standard of an Advanced Spell (without a Soul Seed, though most mages who reach the Advanced level possess one). By the fifth casting, it would begin forming the Domain of Water!
The entire Beast Battle Arena was now boiling with water, wave upon wave surging and crashing, shattering the mere layers of ice. Mu Tingying and Nanrong Ni, their expressions filled with despair, were swept into the deep waters. Regardless of their Ice Element, Fire Element, Healing Element, or Plant Element, in the overwhelming force of the Water Element, all seemed utterly powerless.
All four members of the Imperial Capital Academy Team were eliminated—Imperial Capital University was defeated!
