Chapter 102 The Final Showdown: Wang Ye Suffers a Complete Defeat!
"laugh--!!!"
The piercing hiss of steam still echoed in the air above the arena, and the thick, impenetrable white fog formed a wall, completely covering the center of the field.
All the audience could see was that the crimson pillar of fire, like a red-hot iron pillar, forcefully cleaved and evaporated the towering waves summoned by Taoist Wang Ye!
The torrent of flames tore through the wall of water, carrying the residual power to burn everything, and rushed straight towards the blurry figure behind the mist!
"Tsk, this is really difficult!"
Looking at the fire snakes that kept attacking him, Wang Ye's face showed a helpless expression.
Without thinking, almost instinctively, he slammed his hands down on the ground!
"The merits of sandalwood!"
With a whoosh, a thick barrier made of countless hard redwoods burst forth from the ground in front of him!
The wood still carried the scent of incense offerings, attempting to block the terrifying flames.
boom!!!
The torrent of flames slammed violently into the wooden barrier!
The intense heat instantly charred and carbonized the outermost layer of mahogany!
A pungent, burnt smell filled the air. Wang Ye gritted his teeth and frantically drew upon his inner energy to try and maintain the defense of the sandalwood merit.
"Is it blocked?"
Someone in the stands gasped in surprise.
But just as that thought crossed my mind, I heard a crisp "snap" sound!
That seemingly solid sandalwood merit only lasted for a second or two in the face of absolute high temperature!
The crimson flames, like greedy beasts, easily tore through the charred redwood, instantly engulfing and burning through the entire barrier!
Boom!
The wooden barrier completely collapsed, turning into a sky full of sparks and black ash!
The moment the flames collided with the "Sandalwood Merit," Wang activated his next spell. Like a slippery eel, he used the flow of the Qimen formation beneath his feet to plunge headfirst into the soft ground!
"The character 'Kun' signifies the dragon's journey on earth!"
The soil and rocks around him seemed to come alive, instantly enveloping him and carrying him rapidly downwards, burrowing deep into the earth!
It moved so fast that it left only a shrinking burrow in the ground.
Even though it was buried several meters underground, an astonishing heat wave still seeped through the thick layer of soil, making Wang Ye's back burn and causing beads of sweat to instantly appear on his forehead.
"Hiss—good heavens!"
Wang Ye took a deep breath, still shaken, feeling like he'd been thrown into an oven.
As he burrowed down, he quickly calculated, "Sigh, this should finally drown this playful little benefactor, right? Hehe—"
Wang Ye guessed correctly.
After being split open by the pillar of flames and having most of the central water evaporated, the surging water on both sides lost its obstruction and rushed back!
Splash!
The water level rose rapidly at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire competition venue was flooded into a lake four or five meters deep!
The water surface was covered with washed-out rubble and charred wood chips.
The steam was still lingering, but it was thinner than before.
"It's done!"
Wang Ye was overjoyed.
If the opponent gets trapped in the water, then it's his turn to dominate!
He immediately steadied himself, and the Qimen formation beneath his feet silently unfolded underground. His powerful perception, like an invisible spider web, swept across the entire body of water in an instant.
"Let me see where you are—hmm?" Wang Ye's expression suddenly changed as soon as his senses began to spread!
The soil around him suddenly began to shake violently!
A powerful and hostile force is rapidly approaching from deeper underground!
"not good!"
The thought had barely crossed my mind when a deafening "boom" resounded!
The ground beside him exploded with a deafening roar!
A colossal creature made of hard rock and vines burst forth from the ground!
It resembles a giant python and is twenty meters long!
Its body was covered in rough rock armor, and its huge rock head opened its silent maw, crashing down with immense force towards the cave where Wang Ye was hiding!
【Magic Mimicry: Rock-Scaled Giant Python】!
"The character 'Kun' (坤) - Earth River Chariot!"
Wang Ye reacted extremely quickly, letting out a low shout!
The soil and rocks beneath his feet surged once more, instantly coalescing into a giant earth and rock serpent of the same size, but far less refined and imposing in appearance than its opponent!
The giant serpent, carrying Wang Ye, suddenly surged upwards!
Bang! Crash—!
The giant earthen serpent, carrying Wang Ye, broke through the soil and water above them, creating huge splashes of water, and returned to the air!
"Hoo—" Wang Ye stood on the wet head of the earth snake, wiped the mud off his face, and was about to catch his breath when his gaze subconsciously swept across to the other side. Then, he was completely stunned.
His opponent was now steadily suspended in mid-air, one meter above the water!
The dark uniform that everyone wore swayed gently in the breeze, without even a wet hem.
In Wang Ye's keen perception using the Feng Hou Qi Men method, there were no signs of any magical artifacts, talismans, or external energy sources supporting Lu Xiaobai.
He floated there so easily and illogically, entirely by some kind of power of his own!
A deep sense of powerlessness instantly welled up in Wang Ye's heart.
"It can... it can fly?"
Wang Ye opened his mouth, feeling a dryness in his throat.
He looked down at the murky, swaying "artificial lake" at his feet, then looked up at the guy in the sky who seemed to be strolling leisurely in his own backyard.
After all that effort, all that trouble with my tactics of burrowing underground and flooding—
How could they have just flown up and dodged from the very beginning?
What's the point of playing this game?!

Wang Ye looked at the person opposite him, who even seemed to have the leisure to pull out a glass test tube containing a dark blue liquid from somewhere and was sipping it little by little, just like he was having afternoon tea.
Then look at the pitiful little bit of energy in your dantian, almost empty.
Wang Ye let out a long, resigned sigh.
His shoulders slumped, as if all his bones had been removed, and he collapsed onto the wet, earthen snake head. Then, he raised his hands high towards the referee on the sidelines and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Senior Brother Rongshan!"
"Stop looking! I surrender! I give up!"
The shout was loud and clear, carrying a sense of helpless laziness.
On the sidelines, Master Rongshan, who had been anxiously watching the battle, was taken aback when he heard Wang Ye's shout. Then, a "just as I thought" expression appeared on his face, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He cleared his throat, and his booming voice instantly drowned out the sound of water and the buzzing chatter of the audience: "Round three, Wang Ye versus Lu Xiaobai—the winner is Lu Xiaobai!"
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"We won! Little White won!!!"
"Lu Xiaobai! Lu Xiaobai! Lu Xiaobai!!!"
As soon as Rong Shan finished speaking, the audience erupted in a deafening roar of screams and cheers!
Especially in the areas where female spectators gathered, the screams were almost ear-piercing.
Some people jumped up excitedly, while others waved their arms frantically.
Even more outrageous, a huge banner was suddenly pulled open in one corner of the stands!
It was written on top in shiny paint: "The strongest magician on Earth—Lu Xiaobai!"
Next to it is a chibi-style drawing of Lu Xiaobai wearing a white trench coat, with big, blinking eyes, looking both cute and spirited.
Wang Ye lay sprawled on the earth snake's head, watching this frenzied scene, especially the huge banner, and a bead of cold sweat instantly dripped down his forehead.
A wave of fear washed over him, and he muttered to himself, "My God—thank goodness we didn't win!"
"If we win this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave Longhu Mountain—hehe."
He chuckled dryly twice, then felt a chill run down his spine.
"Heh heh, here you go!"
Consider this my return gift to you.
Wang Ye, who was still in a daze, suddenly heard someone shout from the other side.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a dark blue medicine bottle, more than half empty, being casually tossed to him by Lu Xiaobai.
Wang Ye quickly reached out and caught it; it was icy cold to the touch.
He glanced at the potion in his hand, then looked up at the figure in mid-air.
"Oh, hehe, thanks!"
Wang Ye grinned and didn't bother with formalities anymore.
He imitated Lu Xiaobai, pulled out the stopper, carefully brought it to his lips, and took small sips.
The potion was cool to the taste and had a strange, indescribable flavor, somewhat like mint and with a hint of herbal fragrance.
"Um?"
The moment the potion hit his stomach, Wang Ye's eyes widened in shock!
A warm yet powerful force, like a mountain spring thawing in early spring, surged from his stomach to his limbs and bones in an instant. His dantian, which had just been dry, painful, and almost depleted, was now like parched land receiving rain, greedily absorbing this power. The qi sensation that was originally as weak as a candle flickering in the wind was recovering and becoming full at an astonishing speed!
"Wow!"
Wang Ye couldn't help but blurt out a common saying, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets as he stared at the half-empty bottle of blue liquid in his hand.
"What... what kind of miraculous medicine is this?! Is it really that effective?!"
He suddenly looked up at Lu Xiaobai, who was in mid-air with a jubilant expression.
Recalling the other person's demeanor throughout the entire event, and my own thoughts when I watched him drink the "potion"—
"Hehe, I say, how come you're acting like nothing happened after you finished fighting?"
Wang was both amused and exasperated, raising his voice eight octaves: "So what you were drinking wasn't a beverage after all?!"
Since entering the world of supernatural beings, he has heard of all sorts of miraculous pills and medicines, but he has never seen anything with such immediate and powerful effects before!
If this thing gets out—
Wang Ye shuddered, and the old saying widely circulated in the world of supernatural beings flashed through his mind: "You can offend anyone, but never offend a doctor or a pharmacist!"
With such efficacy, it's not just that people flock to it; even extraordinary individuals would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it!
While Wang Ye was expressing his feelings, he did not forget to remove the floodwater from the field.
The next second, as if receiving a command, the water level began to drop rapidly.
The water gushed away along the entrances and exits of the venue, leaving only a messy, cracked, and scorched ground below.
The intelligence chief, who was in mid-air, also landed lightly on the ground as the water level dropped.
As soon as he landed, the cheers from the stands instantly rose to another level, especially from the fan section holding banners, where the screams were so loud they could practically lift the roof off.
The lips of that peerless beauty curved into a smug smile, and her eyes sparkled brightly.
He raised his hand and casually waved it in the direction of the most enthusiastic crowd in the stands, which drew an even more frenzied scream.
Then, amidst the deafening cheers, he walked out of the competition venue through the exit passage with light, almost bouncy steps, his hands in his uniform pockets, exuding the relaxed ease of a victor, without looking back.
That silhouette was brimming with smug satisfaction, as if to say, "These are all minor incidents; this magician is popular wherever he goes!"
Wang Ye slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the departing figure.
Then, recalling their cold, unapproachable demeanor during their first meeting, and their timid, even somewhat easily bullied, appearance during the second competition—
His lips twitched, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly, muttering to himself, "Heh, this benefactor—even his personality is so unpredictable—"
