Chapter 374

The competition announced by Wizard Nuolun instantly ignited the flames in the hearts of all wizards who met the conditions.

The number of wizards below the sixth tier present was quite considerable, plus the juniors brought by several seventh-tier wizards who came with Wizard Nuolun, there were nearly a hundred people in total.

Although a part of the first and second-tier wizards who knew their strength was insufficient voluntarily gave up the qualification to participate, there were still more than sixty wizards who stepped into the arena in the end.

With so many participants, ranging from the third tier to the fifth tier, their respective combat methods and research tendencies were completely different.

Traditional arena competitions could not fairly reflect their true level at all.

Wizard Nuolun thought for a moment, and made a simple and rude decision that was infinitely in line with the wizard style—Battle Royale!

Anyway, they are currently in the private plane of grand-mentor Anton Buchanan, and the space is large enough.

Wizard Nuolun walked out of the palace, and the silver magic wand circled casually toward the vast grassland and hills in the distance.

In an instant, a huge circular area with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers was outlined by an invisible but clearly perceivable vast boundary by all wizards.

This is the "stage" for this competition.

The rules are extremely simple: all participants are randomly thrown into this area, and the melee begins.

There are no allies, no rules except for not being able to intentionally cause death, and the only person who can still stand in the area in the end is the winner, winning the "substitute doll" that makes people covet.

This mode is indeed a bit disadvantageous for those position-war wizards who need time to arrange large-scale magic arrays and build permanent fortifications.

But it cannot be denied that this is exactly the closest to the real plane battlefield environment—the enemy will not give you time to prepare calmly.

Therefore, this plan was recognized by almost all participants.

Wizard Nuolun didn't say much, and the magic wand in his hand paused lightly.

Jie Ming only felt a violent fluctuation of spatial power around him, and the scene before his eyes blurred and twisted instantly.

When he saw the surroundings clearly again, he was already in a strange hilly area, with glowing strange grass at his knees under his feet.

"Phase Space!"

Almost the moment he landed, Jie Ming didn't even think about it, and immediately activated the spatial wizardry.

His figure blurred, like a drop of water merging into the sea, sliding silently into the gap between the main plane and the phase space, completely "disappearing" from the material world.

After hiding himself, Jie Ming's brain began to run rapidly, formulating a strategy.

Jie Ming had a clear understanding of himself; his strength was indeed very strong, but the wizards who came this time were also geniuses among geniuses.

Especially the fifth-tier wizard auras he just sensed, there were no less than ten!

In this melee gathering dozens of genius wizards of the same level or even higher, Jie Ming clearly knew that he was not the one who completely occupied the advantage.

If it was an encounter, relying on the elite Black Giant priest team in his internal space, as well as his own spatial wizardry, he had the confidence to defeat any fifth-tier wizard alone.

Even facing the siege of two or three fifth-tier wizards at the same time, relying on the suddenness of the Black Giant legion and the mobility of spatial wizardry, he might not necessarily lose—after all, "aliens" like him who can carry an army with them are rare.

Although the cannon fodder units are species specifically modified for combat, they also need to eat, drink, and defecate, and also need adjustment and maintenance during non-war periods.

So most wizards' "cannon fodder" units are only thought of ways to pack and take away when conducting plane wars, and cannot be mobilized so flexibly.

But Jie Ming's weaknesses are equally obvious.

Once this battle takes too long, giving the opponent enough time to unfold the phantom of the wizard tower, arrange rune positions, or let the enemy figure out the Black Giant's combat mode and make targeted arrangements, he will almost certainly lose.

After all, his real level has not yet broken through the fourth tier, and there is still a qualitative gap compared to real fifth-tier wizards in terms of absolute energy storage and instantaneous mobilization of wizardry.

"Must win quickly! With the momentum of thunder, prioritize clearing the most threatening fifth-tier wizards!" Jie Ming quickly set the core tactics.

As long as the top threats are solved, the remaining third and fourth-tier wizards will be much easier for him to deal with.

The ideas were clear, and the actions were launched immediately.

He first briefly detached from the phase space, and with a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of "patrollers" the size of arms flew out in all directions like disturbed bees, beginning a carpet-style investigation of the vast competition area.

Subsequently, he hid in the space gap again.

Here, he boldly began to add various buff states to himself.

The acceleration rune wizardry tool bracelet was put on, his perception and reaction speed soared dozens of times instantly, at the cost of accelerated cell aging and a slight stinging pain from the depths of his soul.

Several bottles of magic potions flickering with different lusters were drunk by him, and his spiritual power expanded and solidified like a lake surface thrown with stones, magnificent.

Layers of auxiliary wizardry spiritual light that strengthened physical strength, elemental resistance, and spiritual protection were added to himself without hesitation like layers of armor.

"Spatial wizardry is indeed unique in terms of hiding and self-protection." Jie Ming couldn't help but sigh again while casting spells.

If it were in the outside world, such frequent and violent energy fluctuations would have been discovered long ago.

But under the protection of this phase space, all fluctuations were perfectly isolated.

This could also be considered one of his advantages, being able to make various preparations in advance to arm himself.

At this moment, Jie Ming, who was in the space gap, was surrounded by colorful wizardry spiritual light, and the whole person looked like a human neon light, dazzling abnormally.

But in the outside world, Jie Ming still didn't reveal any fluctuations.

Because the whole person is in the space gap, conventional active reconnaissance means have lost their effect, but this cannot stump Jie Ming.

Although other energy fluctuations were covered up, the simple vision was not completely affected, which meant that the passive reconnaissance means that added vision were not completely invalidated.

After adding "Life Spirit Vision," "Thermal Perception," "Elemental Tracking," and other reconnaissance wizardry to himself, he began to search for the traces of prey in the phase space like a ghost, moving at high speed.

Soon, through the soul connection, he sensed that the signal of a patroller located in the northwest direction disappeared abruptly!

"Found it!"

A flash of brilliance shone in Jie Ming's eyes, and he immediately swept toward the direction where the signal disappeared.

At the same time, with a thought, he commanded all the patrollers in the nearby area to gather toward the same location like sharks smelling blood from all directions.

Traveling through the phase space, it took only a moment for Jie Ming to arrive at the target area.

Through the space barrier, he clearly "saw" the figure standing by a rushing magma river.

That was a male wizard wearing a dark red rune robe, surrounded by scorching fire elemental spiritual light, obviously a fifth-tier wizard proficient in fire-type laws.

He had just casually struck a lava ray, turning another patroller that had just rushed over but was too close into ashes.

At this moment, he was vigilantly scanning the surroundings, understanding that he had been exposed.

A cold arc hooked at the corner of Jie Ming's mouth.

Luck was not bad, the first target was a "big fish" worthy of priority clearing.
