Throne of Seals: White Tiger's Power Lock, I am the God of War

Chapter 20 Long Haochen vs. Feng Yao
Time flies, and a night has passed.

After having breakfast together, Feng Yao and Wang Yuanyuan headed to their respective groups' training grounds.

Keep up the good work in today's game.

Feng Yao walked to the parting point and spoke softly.

"Will do!"

Wang Yuanyuan smiled slightly, waved her hand, and stepped into the trial field.

Warrior's Training Grounds.

Feng Yao slowly stepped into the arena, thinking about yesterday's draw results for the round-robin tournament. Today, his opponent seemed to be a fourth-tier assassin from the Assassin Temple.

Hmm, not difficult.

As for the others, Long Haochen's opponent was Huang Yi, an earth-type mage who was one of the fifth-tier members of the Magic Temple.

Chen Ying'er didn't know.

The first match began with a duel between two assassins; battles of this profession begin and end very quickly.

Feng Yao witnessed the two competing in skill, and the outcome was decided in an instant.

"In the second match, Long Haochen will face Huang Yi."

The referee's voice rang out, and the two players whose names were called slowly walked onto the playing field.

In this match between a knight and a mage, the two sides first separated by fifty meters before the match began.

Feng Yao's gaze swept across the crowd and landed between Long Haochen and Huang Yi.

Huang Yi waved his hands and chanted incantations, instantly spreading the aura of earth magic.

The ground in front of him shook violently, and one earthen wall after another rose from the ground, suddenly appearing in front of Long Haochen.

These earthen walls have a rough surface, yet they exude a heavy sense of oppression.

Long Haochen's expression was solemn as he gripped the fire sword tightly with both hands, the blade gleaming with a holy light.

He moved nimbly through the gaps in the earthen walls, his holy sword flashing as it struck the stone pillars. However, there were too many earthen walls, and the attacks were relentless, making it difficult for him to get close to Huang Yi.

A yellow light appeared on Huang Yi's chest, which was a small elemental figure with tiny wings.

"An elemental furnace, huh?"

Feng Yao muttered to himself, secretly thinking that this earth-type mage, with the assistance of the elemental furnace, was indeed not to be underestimated.

The strength of an elemental spirit is closely related to its owner. Owning one is like having an extra spellcaster, and the spiritual power used is still the owner's own.

Simply put, elemental spirits can also use the host's spiritual power to cast spells, attacking enemies or defending and assisting the host at the same time.

As elemental spirits evolve, their most prominent characteristic becomes the ability to amplify magical power and reduce spiritual energy consumption.

"If he doesn't summon his mount companion soon, Long Haochen will surely be defeated."

Feng Yao observed the situation on the battlefield and thought to himself.

As Feng Yao had predicted, even though Long Haochen tried his best to get close to Huang Yi, the opponent's double spellcasting prevented Long Haochen, a fifth-tier dual knight, from closing the distance.

Finally, Huang Yi even summoned the Earth Giant.

Long Haochen gathered all his power into the holy sword and slashed it fiercely at the earth giant.

"Light Slash Sword!"

A golden blade of light, radiating intense heat, shot out from the sword, colliding with the earth and rock, creating a deafening roar and scattering light in all directions.

Unfortunately, the Earth Giant's defense is very strong, and even fifth-tier sword skills are not very effective.

However, Long Haochen was a fifth-tier dual knight with extremely strong offensive power. Despite expending a large amount of spiritual energy, he successfully killed the earth giant with a single Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Jian.

Long Haochen pressed his advantage relentlessly, his shield carrying the aftershocks of the Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Sword as it struck the stunned Huang Yi.

The next moment, two earthen walls and a layer of earth elemental shield appeared one after another. The shield shattered the first two walls, but failed on the third.

"Broken."

Feng Yao noticed the abnormality at a glance; the shield was already damaged, and now it was completely shattered.

At this point, Long Haochen's offensive had completely failed.

Because Huang Yi successfully completed the sixth-tier earth element magic—Earth Wave Technique.

This is the most powerful self-defense technique for earth-elemental mages, a powerful control spell that combines offense and defense. At this moment, Long Haochen is like a small boat on a wave.

"The mount is about to be released, otherwise Long Haochen will undoubtedly be defeated."

Feng Yao watched this scene silently, but he knew very well that it was time to reveal this trump card that had been hidden for so long.

Sure enough, just as Long Haochen was about to be defeated, a huge magical beast appeared beneath him.

"A level six magical beast with three attributes, huh? No wonder it's the chosen one."

With a glance at the monster, Feng Yao could see its current attributes and level.

This turned Huang Yi's favorable situation around. With the help of his mount, Long Haochen's spiritual power was mostly restored, and then he lunged forward.

At the same time, the three-headed lizard monster unleashed a multi-elemental attack, instantly blocking many spells.

Taking this opportunity, Long Haochen closed the distance to twenty meters and instantly activated the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace.

"It's over." Feng Yao shook his head slightly.

As expected, although Long Haochen failed to get close to Huang Yi, the three-headed lizard monster ended the battle.

"Long Haochen wins," the referee announced.

"Next up, Feng Yao!"

However, before Feng Yao could even leave the arena, his assassin opponent raised his hand and shouted,
"Referee, I surrender!"

"Feng Yaosheng!"

After yesterday's dazzling performance, players below level five voluntarily conceded defeat.

They don't want to take a punch and then have no hope left.

On the other hand, Wang Yuanyuan received the same treatment today, and her opponent decisively admitted defeat.

In the following days of competition, Feng Yao hardly had any chance to make a move; he only needed to show his face once to win.

The only ones in this group who have the courage to fight Feng Yao are the fifth-tier knight Long Haochen, the fifth-tier beast tamer Chen Ying'er, and the fifth-tier earth elemental mage Huang Yi.

Each player has nine matches in the group stage. Feng Yao has already won seven matches, conceding defeat in all but the first one. The remaining two matches will be between Long Haochen and Huang Yi.

Aside from Feng Yao, who doesn't inspire any fighting spirit, the most surprising member of this group is Chen Ying'er.

Normally, it would be typical for her to summon an eighth-level magical beast in the first match, but her true colors were revealed in the second match.

The lamb, a summoned beast with no combat ability, appeared in two consecutive matches.

This has become the most unstable factor in the group.

Of course, Feng Yao is also known as the invincible peak.

If even level eight magical beasts can't handle a level six battle master, which young person can stand up to him?

Feng Yao is certain to advance from this group, and the other one is most likely to be Long Haochen.

Huang Yi could also qualify third, since no one else could put up a fight against him.

In Group Five, Wang Yuanyuan stood out from the crowd. With her cultivation level and the Giant Spirit God's Shield, she completely overwhelmed her opponents.

……

Soon, it was time for the eighth game.

"Warrior Temple Feng Yao versus Knight Temple Long Haochen!"

Feng Yao landed on the competition field in an instant, looking at Long Haochen in front of him with a hint of inquiry in his red eyes.

He didn't remember much about the chosen ones of this world, but based on his recent feelings...

He must be a gentle person.

"The match begins," the referee announced before slowly retreating.

Feng Yao stood still, asking with interest, "You're going to use this piece of junk equipment?"

He immediately noticed that the other party was carrying a fine iron shield.

“Uh…” Long Haochen looked a little embarrassed.
