The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

The flames raged like a raging dragon, transforming the open space into a sea of ​​fire. The heat surged, as if even the air was burning. Jiang Liujing was at the center of this blazing heat, his palms clenched into fists, then slowly released.

He looked at the fire dragon charging towards him and Ignatius and Vita who were approaching him step by step. It must be said that Ignatius was indeed quite clever. He found a way to restrict him in such a short time and made a decisive decision to change the strategy.

Jiang Liujing felt a flicker of regret. He had originally thought of tricking them into attacking him again. The energy he'd expended alone was clearly disproportionate to the combined energy of everyone in the Fire Academy, so it seemed like a win no matter how you looked at it. But the other party's reaction was too quick, and that wasn't going to work.

He glanced at the freshmen from the Fire Academy around him and knew that he couldn't let them recover any longer. The longer they delayed, the worse it would be for the Water Academy.

That being the case.

Before the fire dragon was about to hit him, he waved his hand and the black ice staff appeared out of thin air.

When the silver-white staff appeared, the biting wind and frost suddenly descended from the surroundings, and the center of the sea of ​​fire was forcibly cleared for an instant by this sudden force.

Jiang Liujing grasped the Xuanbing Staff and poured his magic power into it. Two beams of blue light instantly shot out, transforming into a giant rope that bound the fire dragon inch by inch before suddenly tightening. The fire dragon struggled unwillingly, stirring the surrounding flames into a frenzy, but the immense force still crushed its body, shattering it into tiny specks of red light that dissipated into the air.

The black-haired child stood there, surrounded by tiny frost particles falling down.

This was also the first time his staff appeared publicly in a competition, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"The quality of this staff is probably no less than your Highness's." In the box, the minister looked quite surprised.

The staffs used by most students were only of the first or second rank, commonly known as "basic items" in alchemical works. They only served to guide magic power and make the casting process more convenient.

But the staff used by Jiang Liujing was able to trigger elemental phenomena as soon as it appeared, which meant that it was at least of the fifth grade.

In alchemy works, the ninth grade is called the artifact level, and the eighth grade is called the sub-artifact level. Both are rare in the world. The number of artifacts is like the number of top powerhouses, which is related to the strength of the entire country.

Considering the child's age, he is already using such a high-level staff, which seems to further illustrate his extraordinary status.

"Your Majesty." Xiweier called softly from the side.

The man nodded slowly, his eyes deep, "I know. After this game is over, arrange for this kid to meet me."

When Jiang Liujing's staff suddenly appeared, a memory hidden deep in Vita's mind was awakened.

Unlike Ignatius, this wasn't the first time he had seen this staff. The last time Jiang Liujing used it was during his battle with him.

At that time, Jiang Liujing used a spell, a spell that he had learned from him and used for himself.

He suddenly seemed to understand something and turned back to look at the flame shield, and woke up at this moment.

Why had the light shield been weakened so quickly by the freshmen from the Water Academy? What was Jiang Liujing's plan? Vita understood everything at that moment.

But he did not open his mouth to remind, but just watched the miniature blue magic circle slowly rise from under the snow-white staff like a distant dream.

Watermark.

However, compared to the one used in the battle against Vita, its appearance was many times smaller.

"What kind of spell is this?" Ignatius did not recognize it.

He had become defensive the moment the magic circle appeared, thinking Jiang Liujing was about to attack them. But the magic circle simply spun silently, seemingly useless. Even the child himself simply stood there, looking at them calmly.

After being punished, Vita did not participate in the competition for the Fire Academy representative position. Ignatius had never fought with Vita and was not clear about Vita's abilities.

Vita had apparently not revealed her magical skills or hobbies to Ignatius. Although she had agreed to cooperate with Ignatius, she was merely assisting him by following his instructions. Beyond that, their relationship was little more than that of strangers.

In response to Ignatius's question, Vita remained silent.

Ignatius seemed to sense something from Vita's silence and asked sharply, "Do you know him?"

No, more than that.

He said in a more determined tone, "You have seen it."

Yes, if we talk about fighting, Vita is the first person in the entire Imperial Magic Academy to fight against Jiang Liujing.

However, for some unknown reason, this guy refused to reveal the details of the battle to the outside world, resulting in them having very little information about Jiang Liujing, which is why they are in such a passive position now.

"What is the effect of this magic circle?" Ignatius stared at Vita.

Although they were students of the same academy, he knew that Vita had little intention of bringing honor to the academy. This guy was a madman who was purely selfish and did things as he pleased.

"Even if you don't tell us now, we'll find out sooner or later. But if you fail in the end because of your silence, you know how others will retaliate against you."

"It doesn't matter whether you tell me or not," Vita finally said. As a victim of piracy, no one knew the effect of watermarks better than him. From the moment Jiang Liujing cast the magic circle, or even before that, everything was unstoppable.

"That's a spell that amplifies power. Congratulations, your plan is about to fail completely."

Ignatius didn't understand what he meant, but he could hear a strong sense of sarcasm in Vita's words.

As soon as he frowned, the next second, the expressions on his face, including the expressions on the faces of the people in the Fire Courtyard behind him, suddenly changed.

As they stared in confusion, the flame shield, which was clearly quite thick, suddenly became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end it was almost as thin as a piece of paper.

The first crack appeared on the surface of the pale red light shield.

"Crack." There was a crisp sound, as if someone had accidentally dropped a cup on the ground. But in fact, the thing that was broken was something much bigger than the cup.

After the first crack appeared, more followed. Soon, the entire pale red light shield was like an egg smashed to the ground, covered in intertwined and twisted cracks. Finally, amidst a burst of thousands of blue magical rays, it exploded outward with a bang.

In the air, the water element that had been suppressed to the extreme suddenly became thick, and an intense blue light gushed out.

The students of the Water Academy, who had been isolated since the beginning of the battle, finally broke free from their restraints and appeared, roaring and waving their staffs.

Those young faces were filled with anger, and the fighting spirit burning with rage made them completely break away from the outside world's stereotype of the gentle water magician. They looked like berserkers who were about to go crazy at any time.

And at their feet, Ignatius saw a glowing blue magic circle with the same pattern as the miniature magic circle that appeared under Jiang Liujing's staff, but many times larger.
