Chapter 318 Facing the Strongest Wizard in the World

Even the well-informed high-ranking wizards in the VIP seats showed expressions of astonishment and absurdity.

After his initial astonishment, Makarov suddenly threw his head back and burst into loud laughter, a laugh filled with exhilaration and surprise.

"Good, good lad!" He laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. "Potions School, you're from the Potions School! How many more surprises are you going to give me?"

He stopped laughing, and his gaze towards Li Ang was no longer just admiration, but also carried a burning intensity, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"I like you more and more, my child."

Makarov slowly suppressed his smile, his warm expression gradually replaced by a serious demeanor, and a chilling sense of oppression began to emanate from his short frame.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

Li Ang took a deep breath. Facing the strongest wizard in the alliance, he dared not be the slightest bit overconfident.

The moment the referee announced "start," he raised the [Windhawk Wood Wand LV60] in his hand, his mental and magical power instantly forming.

[Level 3 Spell - Sky-Splitting Slash]!

A thin, almost invisible pale blue wind blade silently swept out, so fast that it left only a faint, distorted trace in the air.

With this attack, Li Ang held nothing back. With the 600% wind amplification from his wand, the power of this Sky-Splitting Slash had firmly reached the threshold of a level five spell.

Faced with this swift attack, Makarov did not dodge; he simply waved his seemingly ordinary oak wand.

[Tier 3 Spell - Rock Armor]

A thick layer of grayish-brown rock armor instantly solidified on his body. Although it was just an ordinary level three defensive spell, the armor appeared exceptionally solid under the support of Makarov's vast mental power.

The next moment, the Sky-Splitting Slash collided with the Rock Armor!

The pale blue wind blade sliced ​​through the seemingly solid rock shield without any resistance, just like a hot knife cutting into butter.

The wind blade's momentum was reduced by less than 30%, but its remaining power was still fierce, grazing past Makarov's arm as he instinctively shifted to the side.

"laugh-"

With a soft sound, the cuff of Makarov's simple purple wizard's robe was neatly cut open, and a thin, long bloodstain appeared on his thin but unusually strong forearm. A few drops of blood seeped out, splashing a few conspicuous red spots on the white arena surface.

The entire room fell silent.

Makarov looked down at the wound on his arm, then looked up at Li Ang across from him, whose expression was solemn. His usual warm smile slowly faded, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of surprise and admiration.

"Good lad—" he murmured, his voice not loud, but clearly transmitted through the magical barrier to the ears of the audience in the stands.

"This is not the power a level three spell should have. When did the Lyrita Potions School produce such a monster?"

'

Before he finished speaking, Makarov moved, his arm holding the wand trembling slightly.

[Local Changes - The Fist of the Giant]!

His right arm suddenly swelled, muscles bulged, and skin turned a rock-like grayish-white. In an instant, a giant fist the size of a millstone, accompanied by a dull whistling sound, slammed straight toward Li Ang!

Before the punch even landed, the violent wind pressure had already blown Li Ang's blue robe tightly against his body.

Li Ang's pupils contracted slightly as the effect of the [Precognition Ring LV60] quietly activated. At the same time, with a thought, the [Gentle Breeze Domain] instantly unfolded, enveloping his body in a pale blue gas membrane.

"Bang!"

The giant fist slammed into the wind barrier, causing it to ripple violently and spread outwards wildly, but it did not break. At the same time, the huge impact also caused Li Ang to slide back several meters.

Makarov didn't stop there. His left leg also swelled and deformed, turning into a giant foot, and a powerful sweeping kick followed, blocking Li Ang's flank.

Leon no longer simply defended. He flipped his left hand and took out the one-handed longsword given to him by Maya, which contained a small amount of adamantite, from the [High-level Space Ring LV60]. At the same time, he waved his wand in his right hand again.

[Level 1 Spell: Water Binding]!

The moisture in the arena air was instantly stirred up, and several turbulent streams of water, like agile snakes, appeared out of thin air, coiling around Makarov's transformed giant feet, attempting to hinder his movements.

Although the water flow quickly dissipated under the terrifying force of the giant foot, it still slowed the sweeping kick by half a beat.

In that split second, Li Ang twisted his waist to the side, his fine gold longsword drawing an arc. He didn't block it head-on, but instead deflected and redirected some of the force of the sweeping giant foot to the empty ground beside him.

"Clang!"

The sword and feet clashed, producing a metallic clang and sending sparks flying. Li Ang felt a slight numbness in his tiger's mouth and was secretly alarmed; the hardness of his transformed limbs was astonishing.

But his counterattack rhythm was not interrupted. While deflecting the force, he used the opponent's force to drift back half a step and pointed his wand again.

[Sky-Splitting Slash]!

This time there were two strikes, one from the left and one from the right, crisscrossing each other and aimed at the opening in Makarov's chest and abdomen that had been temporarily exposed due to the attack.

Makarov let out a "Huh," seemingly surprised that Li Ang could still launch a precise counterattack under such pressure. His swollen fist suddenly retracted, and then he clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The two sky-splitting slashes struck the rocky skin, leaving two white marks, but they failed to break through the defense, only causing Makarov's figure to sway.

Li Ang's gaze sharpened, and he gained a more intuitive understanding of Makarov's [Giant Magic]. This was not simply a matter of increasing physical size, but a comprehensive enhancement, integrating offense and defense, and allowing for arbitrary changes.

Makarov swung his arm, his gaze towards Leon growing increasingly intense: "I didn't expect that besides magic, your close-combat skills were also so solid!"

He laughed loudly and launched another attack, sometimes with fists like heavy hammers, sometimes with legs like steel whips, using spells that changed direction at will. His attacks were continuous, yet they carried a sense of composure, as if he was simply enjoying the duel.

Li Ang maximized the early warning capabilities of the [Ring of Foresight], combined with the [Gentle Breeze Barrier] to resist most of the impacts. The adamantite longsword in his hand transformed into clusters of light and shadow, dissolving the incoming giant fists and heavy kicks one by one. Although he appeared rushed, he maintained a tight defense.

Whenever he seized the slight gap in his opponent's change of moves, he would instantly use the [Water Binding Technique] to interfere or counter with the tricky [Sky-Splitting Slash]. Although he could not truly threaten Makarov in his transformed state, he still forced his opponent to make some responses.

For a moment, the two in the arena were evenly matched, fighting fiercely! The audience below the stage was already dumbfounded, with gasps and exclamations rising and falling.

"He—he actually managed to block Master Makarov's attack?"

"He even uses a sword! A wizard, yet his swordsmanship is enough to contend with a master's giant magic?"

"Is he really just a level three wizard? What kind of monster has Lelita produced this time?!"

In the VIP section, the expressions on the faces of the top executives of each tower were also quite varied, ranging from surprise, solemnity, deep thought, to apprehension.
