Chapter 81 Final Match
As the old man announced the start of the second round of the spell duel, the atmosphere in the entire square was instantly ignited, with cheers and shouts erupting from the crowd, the sound waves rising and falling like a surging tide.
The sunlight became even more intense, as if infected by the fervent atmosphere, pouring its full force onto the arena, making every inch of the arena seem to radiate excited light.
The first to step onto the arena was Lei Che, a disciple from the Lei Yan Sect. He was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, with a burly build, bulging muscles, and a head of red hair that shone brightly in the sunlight like a burning flame.
His upper body was bare, covered only by a leather shoulder and arm guard, which was engraved with mysterious lightning patterns, each pattern seemingly telling the story of the Thunderflame Sect's illustrious reputation.
He held a huge thunder hammer in each hand, the hammers crackling with electric arcs, like the angry eyes of Thor. Just by standing there, the surrounding air was ionized and hissed.
"Lei Che of the Lei Yan Sect has come here to meet heroes from all walks of life!" His voice was like a booming bell, causing the rune light around the arena to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterward, a graceful woman floated in. She was Yu Chang, a disciple of the Lingyu Pavilion, with a cultivation level of mid-Golden Core. She wore a light blue feather robe, its hem fluttering as if woven from countless blue feathers, swaying gently in the breeze, like a dream. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes were like deep lake water, radiating intelligence and wit.
He held a slender spirit feather staff in his hand, the spirit feathers at the top of the staff shimmering with a soft blue light, just like the brightest star in the night sky.
"Lingyu Pavilion's Feather Robe, I wish to exchange skills with you." Her voice was clear and melodious, like the song of a nightingale, echoing in the square.
When Lei Che saw Yu Chang appear, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Miss Yu Chang, with your delicate appearance, you can't withstand a blow from my thunder hammer. You might as well admit defeat now to avoid getting hurt."
Yu Chang smiled gently, a sly glint in her eyes: "Senior Brother Lei Che, don't underestimate me. The outcome is still uncertain."
The competition officially began, and Lei Che roared and launched the first attack.
He raised his twin hammers high, gathering all his spiritual power. The electric arcs on the hammers surged instantly, intertwining and forming two enormous thunder dragons. "Thunder and Flame Twin Dragon Break!" The two thunder dragons bared their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Yu Chang. Wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, producing a deafening roar. The ground of the arena was also plowed with deep furrows by the power of the thunder dragons.
Yu Chang remained calm and composed. She gently waved her Spirit Feather Staff and chanted, "Spirit Feather Guardian Curtain!" The spirit feather at the tip of the staff instantly detached and rapidly expanded, forming a huge blue light curtain in front of her. Strange runes flickered on the light curtain, which acted like a sturdy shield, keeping the thunder dragon out.
The thunder dragon crashed into the light screen, scattering countless arcs of electricity and blue light, making crackling sounds, like a dazzling fireworks display.
The audience was completely captivated, holding their breath in rapt attention.
"The Thunderflame Sect's attacks are fierce, and the Spirit Feather Pavilion's defenses are not bad either. This competition is going to be interesting!" a young cultivator said excitedly.
"Yeah, I wonder what will happen next. A duel between people of the same cultivation level, I'm really looking forward to it!" His companion chimed in.
Lei Che was not discouraged when his attack was blocked; instead, he became even more excited.
He swung his double hammers again, the hammers spinning rapidly in his hands to form a huge ball of lightning. The ball of lightning grew larger and larger until it enveloped his entire body.
"Thunderfire Star Hammer!" he shouted, forcefully hurling the thunderball at Yu Chang.
The lightning ball, carrying an aura of annihilation, tore through the air like a burning meteor, hurtling towards Yu Chang.
Yu Chang's expression was solemn; she knew the power of this attack.
She planted the Spirit Feather Staff into the ground, quickly formed hand seals, and shouted, "Spirit Feather Divine Sect Formation!" Centered on the Spirit Feather Staff, a huge blue formation instantly appeared on the ground. The formation shone brightly, and beams of blue spiritual energy rose from the formation, heading towards the lightning ball.
Just as the lightning ball and the spiritual energy beam were about to collide, a dark cloud suddenly drifted in from the sky, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring within it, as if it had been disturbed by the fierce competition.
A thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the dark clouds, crashing straight towards the arena.
The sudden bolt of lightning, like a dazzling celestial sword, struck straight towards the arena.
Lei Che and Yu Chang were both startled by this unexpected turn of events and hurriedly withdrew their attacks, leaping aside to the sides.
"What's going on? Why did lightning strike in the middle of the competition?" The audience below the stage also stirred up a commotion, whispering among themselves.
An old man frowned and said, "This is an ominous sign. Could it be that such a fierce battle has disturbed the balance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
At this moment, the referee leaped into the air and carefully examined the spot on the arena struck by lightning. There, a large, charred crater had appeared, and the surrounding runes were flickering erratically.
The referee shouted, "Please don't panic, everyone. This is just a rare and unusual phenomenon. After I've made some repairs, the competition will continue."
Lei Che looked at Yu Chang and laughed loudly, "Miss Yu Chang, it seems that even the heavens don't want us to decide the winner so quickly. They're trying to make things a little more difficult for us."
Yu Chang replied, slightly out of breath, "Senior Brother Lei Che, this sudden situation is indeed alarming, but I will not back down because of it."
Shortly after, the referee repaired the arena runes and signaled for the match to continue.
Lei Che gripped his thunder hammers tightly once more, the power of thunder and fire burning even more intensely within him. "Miss Yu Chang, take this! Thunder and Fire Raging Waves!" He swung his twin hammers, and countless bolts of lightning swept towards Yu Chang like surging waves.
Yu Chang lightly bit her lower lip, and waved her spirit feather staff in a series of graceful arcs, "Spirit Feather Illusionary Wind Screen!" Whirlwinds carrying blue spirit feathers appeared, and the whirlwinds collided with the lightning and flames, emitting sharp whistling sounds, and fragments of spiritual energy flew everywhere.
"The spells of the Thunderflame Sect and the Spirit Feather Pavilion are truly unique. This competition is absolutely spectacular. It was worth the long wait for us to watch," a young rogue cultivator said with shining eyes.
“Yes, the lightning strike is powerful and fierce, while the feather robe is graceful and elegant. The two styles are completely different, yet they can still rival each other,” a female cultivator chimed in.
In the midst of the fierce confrontation, Yu Chang suddenly came up with a plan.
She tossed the Spirit Feather Staff into the air, and it instantly transformed into countless blue spirit feathers. The spirit feathers formed a giant spirit bird shape in the air. "Spirit Feather Divine Bird Ode!" The spirit bird let out a clear cry and swooped down toward Lei Che. Wherever it passed, the air was purified by the spirit bird's spiritual power and became incredibly fresh.
Seeing this, Lei Che was not afraid at all. He slammed his double hammers into the ground and shouted, "Thunder Flame Earth Split Array!" The ground instantly cracked open with countless fissures, from which thick pillars of lightning shot out and struck the spirit bird.
The spirit bird collided with the lightning pillar, engulfing the entire arena in dazzling light. A series of booming sounds emanated from the light, blinding the audience below. They could only anxiously wait for the light to dissipate, eager to know the final outcome.
Amidst the blinding light, the spirit bird and the lightning pillar locked in a stalemate, emitting a deafening explosion.
Lei Che's arms bulged with veins as he unleashed his full power of fire and lightning spiritual energy, roaring, "My power of lightning and flame will not be easily broken!" Yu Chang was not to be outdone, her hands forming hand seals and her mouth chanting, "The might of the spiritual feathers will surely pierce through any obstacle!"
However, just as the two sides were deadlocked, the spirit bird suddenly split into countless tiny spirit feathers, which, like blue needles of light, pierced through the gaps in the lightning pillars and shot towards Lei Che.
Lei Che was unable to dodge in time and was hit by Ling Yu. A blue light emanated from his body, and he was sent flying, landing heavily on the edge of the arena.
Yu Chang recalled her Spirit Feather Staff, breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Senior Brother Lei Che, you flatter me."
Lei Che stood up, dusted himself off, and laughed heartily: "Miss Yu Chang, this move was so unexpected, I admit defeat wholeheartedly."
At this moment, the sunlight shone on the arena again, and a gentle breeze swept by, dispersing the spiritual energy smoke left over from the battle.
The audience was taken aback at first, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
"The magic of the Spirit Feather Pavilion is truly exquisite; it has managed to find a breakthrough in such a stalemate!" exclaimed a cultivator dressed in a blue robe.
"Yes, this young lady Yushang has such talent at such a young age. She will surely achieve great things in the future!" An old man nodded in praise.
The referee stepped onto the arena and announced loudly: "In this semi-final of the magic duel, Lingyu Pavilion's Yu Chang wins!"
As the result was announced, the atmosphere in the square became even more enthusiastic. People discussed the exciting competition and looked forward to what surprises the next match would bring.
