Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 661: Kill

Xiao Lin already had the Turkish lineup as well. They were Muhammad, Ahmed, Said, Sharif, and Aria. Of them, Said was the leader, and even though they did not have any detailed information, Said was very possibly an S-rank talent-holder.

The team battle was held in a simulated space. It was very similar to the monthly examinations. Of course, the area was much smaller than the monthly examinations. Using the special transference equipment, the two sides that totaled to ten people were all sent inside. As the host, Xiao Lin had prior knowledge of the field.

It was a simulated space filled with snow. Everywhere they looked had white snow. It was obvious that the Turkish were not used to that weather, which was the advantage afforded to them as the hosts.

“Cheng Ming and Sheng Guo are close-ranged fighters, so Gu Xiaoyue and An Luo will focus on helping from a distance. The basic formation will follow what we usually practice.” Xiao Lin issued the orders as the leader.

The other’s did not have any opinions, but Sheng Guo could not help but ask, “What about you?”

“As for my role, it will depend on the situation.” Xiao Lin smiled.

They were using the most common formation. Of course, against an academy like Turkey, it was naturally the best choice. Xiao Lin was the key part of it. Xiao Lin had already considered his place in the formation a long time ago. As someone who could do anything, Xiao Lin was good at a lot of things. Close-ranged fights, long-ranged support, or even scouting were all things that he could do, so he did not rush to determine his position, and would change based on what his opponents did.

The five of them started to advance carefully. The area was not big, but it was not very visible thanks to all the snow around them. However, Gu Xiaoyue and Xiao Lin’s perception allowed them to cover a large area. After a few minutes, Gu Xiaoyue stopped. The quiet woman pointed toward a direction, and the others immediately understood what she meant.

Even though their vision was still full of white, it was obvious that there was an ambush in front of them. Cheng Ming smiled, moving forward as he slashed his sword out. He sent a shocking amount of sword aura flying out. In the massive explosion, snow flew everywhere. Under the massive amounts of energy from the sword aura, the snow turned into rain and started to fall. With the cold mingling with the warmth, a fog quickly formed.

Xiao Lin heard some sporadic movement. He narrowed his eyes and immediately pulled out his sword, shooting right into the mist while the others carefully maintained their formation.

“An Luo!” Cheng Ming immediately shouted. He was the one in charge whenever Xiao Lin was not around.

An Luo was the only one who specialized in archery among the monitors, so he knew his job without Cheng Ming even saying anything. He immediately pulled his bow, and aimed his arrow right at the mist. Even without any vision, he shot out a few arrows in a short amount of time. He then raised his head, proudly smiling at the others. “My arrows don’t require my eyes to aim!”

The others knew that it was probably An Luo’s talent, so they did not ask further. A cry of agony could be heard after the arrows were shot, but An Luo’s arrows were not enough to kill anyone.

However, that was already enough. Using that sound, Xiao Lin immediately rushed over. A vague figure appeared in front of him, but he could not see the general shape. It was probably a concealment spell. Without An Luo’s arrows, Xiao Lin would have had a difficult time seeing the figure.

Waterfall swordsmanship!

Xiao Lin’s swordsmanship did not need a clear view of the opponent as well. It was the elemental swordsmanship that he had recently learned, and it was the first time he was using it in actual combat. Cheng Ming’s sword aura had turned the snow into rain water, which gave his Waterfall technique the best conditions for usage. The swordsmanship technique was not hard, and was different from the flame sword skill he used before. Waterfall’s execution was quite simple, and did not give his opponent much time to think or react.

In the noise, the opponent had yet to recover from An Luo’s arrow when he suddenly noticed the rain in the sky starting to gather, forming into a massive wave that shot right at him. Waterfall’s speed was not fast, but An Luo and Cheng Ming’s earlier attacks had restricted the opponent’s movements. The opponent was suddenly assaulted by water, and he started to flip around like a boat in the middle of the ocean.

Waterfall’s power was not limited to water elemental damage. As an elemental sword skill, the water was as sharp as a sword, and each impact would cause the person to feel an uncountable number of blades cutting their body. That pain caused his opponent to shout out even louder in agony.

Xiao Lin did not have any sympathy at all. The way the tournament was held meant that death was something very common. He activated Miracle, and shifted all his attributes into agility. His blinding speed made sure that his heavily injured opponent did not even have the chance to run.

Xiao Lin did not continue attacking because he only saw one opponent at that moment. The other four were nowhere to be seen. He needed information from his opponent, but the opponent’s next move caused Xiao Lin to stop in his tracks.

As the mist dispersed slowly, the Turkish man had a lot of wounds on his body, and the snow on the ground had been stained blood red. The guy probably knew he could not escape, and when he saw Xiao Lin approaching, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed his own throat before he collapsed in a puddle of blood.

Xiao Lin paused for a moment before running over to check, but that man had already stopped breathing.

“How decisive!” Xiao Lin told the others of the situation when he went back.

The others were also a little shocked. While death in the tournament was nothing special, it was rare to meet someone who would rather kill themself than be captured.

“The Turkish are very brave. No wonder they managed to beat Japan,” Cheng Ming said respectfully.

Xiao Lin shook his head. He felt like something was strange, but could not point it out at that moment. However, it was not the time to be respectful to their opponents. There were still four opponents left, and the match had yet to end.

“Continue searching. Don’t drop your guard!”

Xiao Lin and the others maintained the formation as they continued forward. Now they were already certain that their opponents had high level concealment techniques that might even be able to escape their perception. Considering the fact that it might be their opponents’ killing techniques, they did not dare to be careless.
