Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 78 Semifinals

"My God, there are three different variations."

"Clive is a master of deception, a true genius."

"It seems like we've got this in the bag. The elemental wizard is being attacked by the Moon Bear; there's no way he can win."

The stands erupted instantly, with gasps of surprise rising like a tsunami.

Barton Wizard also wore a confident smile.

However, faced with this attack that would have driven an ordinary apprentice wizard to despair, Li Ang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Compared to the shadow wolf, which hides its head and tail and is difficult to catch, the moon bear that roars and charges head-on is much easier to deal with.

Moreover, the opponent is clearly exhausted of mental energy and is planning to go all out.

On the other hand, Li Ang's seemingly fluid changes and attacks had not actually harmed him in the slightest.

Facing the Moonbear's attack, he neither dodged nor evaded, his Windhawk Wood Wand already poised to strike.

Four stars shone brightly in his spiritual world. Just as the bear's paw was about to grab his chest, an extremely condensed cyan-blue crescent-shaped wind blade was instantly unleashed.

Level 1 spell: Wind Blade

With a whooshing sound of wind blades, the giant bear's chest was instantly sliced ​​open, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Moonbear let out a painful roar, its massive body staggering backward as the wind blades carried it away. A deep, bone-revealing wound spread from its shoulder to its chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The giant bear's magic instantly dissipated, its massive body twisting and shrinking in the air, reverting to Clive's appearance, before crashing heavily to the ground and falling unconscious.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by this lightning-fast reversal.

From Clive's sudden display of his third transformation and his attack to Leon's incredibly swift wind blade that severely injured his opponent, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

"The victor... the victor is Leon Carlson." Barton, realizing what was happening, immediately announced loudly, while hurriedly waving his attendants to rush to the aid of the wounded. His gaze towards Leon was filled with unprecedented solemnity.

After a brief silence, the stands erupted into even more heated discussions and exclamations.

"That... what kind of wind blade technique was that? The Moon Bear's defense was broken in an instant?"

"Did he anticipate this? Did he deliberately create a flaw?"

"Lelita's elemental magic... is it that powerful?"

Leon glanced at his opponent being carried off the platform, then turned and walked down to the opposite platform. He had acted with restraint; the wind blade looked frightening, but it avoided vital points. Given Obsidian Tower's medical capabilities, Clive was not in mortal danger.

After stepping off the stage, he was greeted by the excited gazes of his teammates.

"My God... Leon, you scared me to death!" Alyssa patted her chest, then punched his shoulder hard. "Well done."

Captain Eric smiled approvingly: "Good lad, you've got it."

Next up is Elisa's match. Her opponent is a silver-haired girl named Elena Green.

At the start of the match, Elena instantly transformed into a level 1 magical beast, the Gale Mantis.

As soon as Elisa drew her wand, she was held to the neck by the Wind Mantis's bone blade. The huge difference in strength between the two made Elisa simply admit defeat.

Elena clearly showed mercy, and Elisa only suffered a minor cut on her neck.

"I lost." Elisa stepped off the stage, somewhat disappointed but without resentment. "She's very good, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

She touched her neck with lingering fear and said to Li Ang with some concern:

"Li Ang, as you've seen, she's a peerless genius, just like you. First of all, her transformation speed is extremely fast, far beyond my reaction time. Secondly, the Gale Mantis she transforms into is stronger than a regular Gale Mantis, and an ordinary apprentice wizard would have no chance of winning against her."

At this moment, thunderous cheers erupted from the stands, interrupting her next words. Clearly, this girl named Elena had an extremely high reputation in Obsidian Tower.

Once the cheers subsided a bit, Elisa continued:

"But you, Li Ang, I believe you can beat her. Keep up the good work, and don't let your guard down."

Li Ang smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'll be careful."

The morning's matches have concluded, with Li Ang and Miguel from the enforcement team and Shiro from the fourth squad advancing to the semifinals.

Obsidian's Elena Green secured the last spot in the semifinals.

The audience members left the venue, grumbling amongst themselves, anticipating an even more intense showdown in the afternoon.

Behind the stands, in the event operations area, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Barton the Wizard walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and then exhaled. The fair and serious expression he had when he was a referee faded from his face, replaced by a hint of helplessness and surprise.

"Miscalculation... a complete miscalculation."

He shook his head and said to the wizard Lina sitting beside him.

"I didn't expect Clive to lose. I was thinking that with him and Elena, we could at least keep two spots and be even with Lelita's side."

The wizard Lina remained calm, her fingertips lightly tapping the table:

"Clive's defeat was indeed unexpected. That Leon Carlson, his reaction speed, his grasp of the opportunity, and the power of that [Wind Blade]... all far exceeded the level of an ordinary apprentice wizard."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But it's not a big problem. Although the other side has taken three of the four semifinal spots, which is a bit embarrassing, we at Obsidian Tower will never lose our pride, Elena."

Upon hearing this, Barton smiled with relief. "Yes, as long as the final victory belongs to us, that's enough. We've been suppressed by the Elementalists for so many years, we don't care about losing face a little bit."

At lunchtime, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became noticeably more lively. Everyone was discussing who was stronger, Li Ang or Elena. While eating, some girls from the Transformation School blushed and asked Li Ang for his autograph.

Seeing this, Elisa joked:

"Li Ang, you've become a heartthrob! Any interested parties?"

Miguel also took the opportunity to stir things up, clamoring for Li Ang to share one with him. Li Ang just smiled slightly and did not respond to their banter.

In the afternoon, the semi-finals began.

In the semifinals draw, Li Ang will face Shiro, while Miguel will play against Elena.

The result was not too surprising. Li Ang and Shiro were both members of the enforcement team and knew each other well. Li Ang easily won because of his superior attributes compared to Shiro.

Miguel's berserk Leifa suffered a major setback this time, being knocked out of the arena by a single blow from the Moonbear transformed by Elena.

Ultimately, the final will be between Li Ang and Elena, and the time is set for the following morning.

After finishing the day's competition, Li Ang and the others had dinner and quickly took a short rest to prepare for the tasks to come.

As night fell, it was Li Ang and the others' turn to carry out the guard duty again. At this time, the atmosphere in Celia's room was even more tense than before.
