Chapter 1202

Looking at this familiar figure,

Ji Yuan's pupils shrank violently.

"Swish!"

Almost instantly,

that purple figure was right before his eyes.

The purple phantom behind her slowly unfolded.

A bone-chilling sense of threat instantly enveloped Ji Yuan.

"Rain of Icathia!"

Ji Yuan dared not hesitate and directly activated his invincibility skill.

Even when facing Li Yao's summoned beast,

he could not simply admit defeat!

"Boom!"

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground, charging toward Kujo Mise in the distance through the baptism of the rain!

No matter how strong this fake summoned beast was!

As long as he cut down its master, it would naturally disappear!

"Swish!"

"What?!" Ji Yuan could not believe his eyes.

This kind of speed—was it possible?

Kai'Sa, who had been behind him just a moment ago, was already blocking Kujo Mise's front.

She slowly raised her right hand.

A purple ray—

"Puchi!"

The ray pierced through Ji Yuan's abdomen.

With his health below 20%, Ji Yuan's figure vanished from the platform and appeared outside it.

A group of healing-class practitioners, after a brief moment of shock, quickly surrounded Ji Yuan and began treatment.

Having achieved victory, Kujo Mise felt no joy; instead, she wore a pained expression.

The Mirror of the Trickster was a bound reward from the 100th floor of the Monster-Catching Tower.

It summoned for sixty seconds, with a cooldown of thirty natural days.

Originally, she could have relied on these sixty seconds to break through another floor of the Monster-Catching Tower.

"Fortunately,"

"half of the top ten requested by Senior Xue have already been cleared."

"Next,"

Kujo Mise glanced at the practitioners who had participated in the border trial with her.

Qin Xuejun and the others all subconsciously took a step back, trying to avoid Kujo Mise's gaze.

Report!

I want to report!

This woman is cheating!

You summon your senior brother's summoned beast; how are we supposed to play?

Such a heaven-defying item must have a cooldown, right?

She shouldn't be able to use it a second time in the upcoming matches, right?

Kujo Mise remained expressionless,

looking down at the few of them slightly.

As long as she didn't say anything,

no one would know the cooldown of the Mirror of the Trickster.

In subsequent battles, they would be constantly on guard, falling into a passive state.

"Hehe!" Lin Lao stroked his chin, "Is this the item obtained from the Monster-Catching Tower?"

"It truly is miraculous!"

"To be able to produce such an item, it seems we must raise our resource rating for the Monster-Catching Tower by another tier."

"Li Yao, you have made another great contribution!"

Lin Lao, with the air of someone who had seen it all, let his gaze drift back and forth between Kujo Mise and Li Yao.

"Lin Lao is joking."

Li Yao replied.

Seeing this, even he had to complain about the waste.

He had guessed that Kujo Mise could summon a creature,

but he hadn't guessed it would be a replica of Kai'Sa!

Since she could summon Kai'Sa,

even without the 'Distance is No Barrier' skill, even if she could only inherit partial attributes,

as long as it was used at the perfect moment,

winning first place in the Newcomer Competition was entirely possible!

To actually use it in the preliminary round!

If this isn't a waste, what is!?

With the preliminary round reaching this point, it could be considered concluded.

The watching practitioners all cheered, thoroughly satisfied.

This was only the preliminary round; one could imagine how spectacular the subsequent one-on-one ranking battles would be!

Li Yao stood up and walked to a platform.

The audience erupted into another round of exclamations.

Li Yao spoke calmly:

"The preliminary round is over."

"Before the semi-finals, the four groups will compete one-on-one on four separate platforms."

"To ensure fairness, I will draw for the first round myself; after the first round, I will randomly pick audience members to draw the lots."

This was a strict rule for every Newcomer Competition.

The drawing of lots must be absolutely fair!

A student from Jingyu brought a large barrel filled with the names of the promoted practitioners to Li Yao's side.

The barrel was sealed, with only a small opening at the top to reach a hand inside.

Li Yao took out eight small balls from inside.

They would battle in pairs in the order they were drawn.

"Platform One, Pu Qiwen versus Bi Miaohan."

"Platform Two,"

"Platform Three,"

"If there are any injuries that are difficult to recover from in a short time, you can tell me, and we can rest for half an hour before continuing the battle."

After speaking, Li Yao did not drag things out and walked straight off the platform.

The atmosphere at the scene was once again high.

No one expected

that the ranking battles would follow immediately after the preliminary round.

It really didn't give anyone time to breathe!

Little Master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

This is just too awesome!

Sitting back in his seat, Li Yao finally looked at those practitioners who had advanced.

All the practitioners who participated in the border trial had advanced, except for Ji Yuan.

Kong Jiamu had also secured a spot for himself after shaking off the pursuit of several magic-martial students. ===== CHAPTER 1204 =====
