Chapter 89 To catch the thief, first catch the king; capture Jiang Han.
"Hahaha, you little fox and that little wolf from before are quite similar..." The man with the buzz cut stopped mid-sentence, mainly because the visual impact was too great and almost scared him.
In the blink of an eye, a soft and cute little fox transformed into a creature four or five meters tall, with two enormous fox tails swaying behind it. The man with the buzz cut cursed inwardly, "This must be a movie scene!"
"Gulp." Someone swallowed hard; the shock in the room was too much for them to handle.
"Scatter! Scatter!" the first person to react shouted.
However, their reaction was still a bit slow. Two students who failed to dodge in time were frozen solid by Xue Ling's breath. If Jiang Han hadn't told Xue Ling to hold back, those two students would have been more than just frozen solid.
"This fox is pretty powerful. What kind of summon is it?"
"It looks like an Arctic Spirit Fox, but an Arctic Spirit Fox only has one tail."
"Stop trying to figure out what it is, let's think about how to deal with this fox."
As they spoke, the remaining five students began to steady themselves. Three fire-type students stood in front and released fire attacks on Xue Ling, while wind and earth-type students were ready to provide support from behind. They originally thought that the fire attacks released by the three fire-type students would easily eliminate Xue Ling's icy breath, but to their surprise, Xue Ling's breath extinguished their fire-type attacks on the spot.
Realizing the situation was dire, the earth-elemental student's body glowed with a brownish-yellow starlight, signaling "Earth Wave..."
Jiang Han snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Trying to run away? What a pipe dream!"
A flash of sky-blue starlight appeared on Jiang Han's body, interrupting the earth-elemental students' magic. The five students were trapped in place by the ice vines and were immediately frozen by Xue Ling's icy breath. The entire battle lasted only two minutes.
After the seven frozen trainees were carried off the field, the trainees who were originally eager to try their skills calmed down.
In two minutes, Jiang Han and Little Fox had taken care of all seven students, a feat that calmed everyone down.
Despite their calm demeanor, the allure of the Three-Step Tower was simply too great for most students to resist. Furthermore, everyone believed that the seven students were eliminated by Jiang Han in just two minutes because of their carelessness.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is that why he got to go to the main campus as a fellow freshman?" Zheng Bingxiao said, watching Jiang Han's retreating figure.
"His summoned beast is at least at the advanced stage. If he was hiding his strength just now, then it is very likely that he is..." Hai Dafu said, then fell silent. Although he didn't say it out loud, Zheng Bingxiao and Wang Liting knew what Hai Dafu meant.
Wang Liting still didn't quite believe it, saying, "That's impossible. If that were the case, how could Dean Xiao possibly let him participate in the competition?"
"Let's keep watching the game; we'll soon find out if it's really as we suspect."
The battle in the arena resumed, with ten people taking the stage this time, including a mid-level wind mage. He was also a hidden expert in the Green Campus. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the main campus, but that going to the main campus required passing an annual assessment. Only those who passed the assessment could enter the main campus, and today's promotion assessment would have to wait until next semester.
"Don't think that just because you defeated those seven you can look down on everyone else. I can't stand arrogant guys like you." A hot-tempered student started cursing as soon as he stepped into the arena, eager to finish off Jiang Han to show off his strength.
"Make your move, don't give him a chance to breathe." After saying that, everyone began to connect the star orbits and release magic.
As they unleashed their magic, Snow Spirit pounced on the two students closest to it, scaring them into turning tail and running away. Had Snow Spirit hit them, they would have broken at least a few ribs. But after running a few steps, they realized something was wrong.
"Ice Vines, freeze!"
A flash of sky-blue starlight emanated from Jiang Han, and ice spread outwards from him, quickly reaching the feet of the two fleeing students. Gradually, the students realized that the ground beneath their feet had been covered by ice, and their escape speed was restricted. Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind them, and before they could react, they had already been sent flying by Xue Ling.
"Watch your step, watch out for his ice spells!" the mid-level wind-elemental student shouted.
The students who were connecting to the star trails only then noticed the ice tendrils that were spreading to their feet. If it weren't for the timely reminder from the wind-element student, they might have been the next ones to be swatted away or frozen solid.
"Fire and lightning elementalists, do your best to hold off his summoned beasts. Water and earth elementalists, watch out for his ice vines. As for him, leave him to me. Once we take him down, his summoned beasts will be teleported back to the dimensional space." The wind elemental student gave the order again.
"Hmm." The remaining people did not object to the wind-elemental student's order.
Thinking of the two people who had just been eliminated and the seven people before them, they realized that this silver-haired youth was not as simple as they had imagined. If they did not do as the wind-elemental student said, they would have no chance at all.
Fire and lightning elemental students went to stop Xue Ling, while wind elemental students began to focus on constructing a wind elemental star map. Azure starlight flickered on their bodies, and azure star trails appeared around the wind elemental students, eventually forming an azure wind elemental star map under their feet.
"Wind, tornado!!"
Whoosh! In an instant, a strong wind arose, and the blue hurricane was as high as a five-story building. Where the hurricane passed, the ground that had been frozen was restored to its original state. Sand and gravel filled the air, and even small ice shards fell. People sitting in the audience had their cheeks sting from the strong wind. If they were caught in the hurricane, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Han glanced at the approaching hurricane, raised his right hand, and purple arcs of electricity coursed across his arm. At that moment, the sky was shrouded in thick dark clouds, within which purple lightning could be faintly seen surging.
"Thunderbolt, Yaksha!!" As Jiang Han's right hand fell, a purple lightning serpent descended from the sky and slammed into the azure hurricane, instantly obliterating the five-story-high azure hurricane. After the lightning dissipated, the scene returned to calm.
Many people in the audience were stunned. They must have seen it correctly—a mid-level lightning spell.
"Ice Vine, Cover!!" A flash of sky-blue starlight appeared, and the ice layer began to cover the entire arena, centered on Jiang Han.
Those students who wanted to leave were frozen in place and unable to move. Xue Ling slapped them out of the arena one by one, thus bringing the second wave of challenges to a close. This time, even with a mid-level mage participating, they still lost so decisively.
"How the hell are we supposed to fight this? It's a mid-level lightning-type attack; anyone who goes up there is doomed."
"His ice vines, combined with the summoned beast's icy breath, are practically pinpoint strikes, hitting exactly where you point them."
"I finally understand why Dean Xiao promised us a week of training at the Three-Step Tower if we beat him. It turns out he's so strong that he didn't expect us to win."
"It's not like we have no chance at all. What if a group of mid-level mages went up against us? I don't believe he wouldn't be eliminated then."
"No, because he held back his lightning earlier. I've seen an elder in my family use a mid-level level 2 lightning bolt, which is even more powerful than this. If he hadn't held back his lightning, that wind-elemental student and the others around him would probably have been seriously injured on the spot."
"Damn it~, how are we supposed to play this?"
"The school never expected our Qing campus to win. Didn't you see that the seniors from the old campus are already preparing?"
Students from the main campus were already waiting at the entrance outside the barrier of the arena below. If no students from the Qing campus went up later, it would be their turn. Whether they could turn the tide and finish at the bottom of the rankings depended on today's friendly match.
