After softly repeating Janna’s name, Marquell-Storm finally shifted his complicated gaze away from that strange tree and stopped wasting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, the hurricane has swept this far!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Marquell-Storm completely gave up on his relentless assault against Janna, the howling hurricane, under his control,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shifted its position and began attacking the surrounding contestants who had transformed into stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why contestants transformed into stones was to rely on the stone’s natural weight to resist the hurricane’s violent winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the stones they transformed into ultimately remained separate from the mountain itself and could not fuse with the terrain like real rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, under the hurricane’s intense winds and shifting air pressure, those contestants who had taken stone form were unsurprisingly swept up into the sky hundreds of feet high. Just before they could crash to the ground, some contestants were forced to change form again, transforming into feathers or other relatively light objects to float in the air—avoiding death by impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others chose to risk it all, just like Louisto-Tulan, directly transforming into avian magical beasts in an attempt to break through the hurricane’s encirclement and overturn the current disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Croak—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the few contestants still struggling to break through the blockade inside the hurricane’s eye, Marquell-Storm sneered disdainfully. He gathered the majority of the valley’s wind to reinforce the outer perimeter of the encirclement, forming a thick wall of wind that made it impossible for those inside to find a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now it’s become a contest of who can outlast the other in magic consumption?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hurricane shifted its focus from her to others, Janna was finally able to free up some attention to observe the state of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the contestants in the valley fell into four categories:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first type, led by Louisto-Tulan, were those who kept breaking against the hurricane blockade, desperately trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their perseverance paid off. Once Marquell-Storm diverted his winds to another encirclement, Louisto-Tulan and his group finally broke through, spending enormous amounts of magic to escape the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second type, led by Hela-Helheim and Matthew-Grayrock, were the “play it safe” faction, hiding in areas the hurricane could not reach. They fought defensively and refrained from taking part in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, many failed to hide properly. Marquell-Storm easily discovered them, dragging them into the hurricane’s confinement and leaving them in dire straits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third type was Janna, who stood alone against the hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against all odds, she endured Marquell-Storm’s targeted assaults with her Dawn Redwood tree form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the others, this was enough to mark her as someone “not to be trifled with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last type was Marquell-Storm himself, wielding his grasp over a 【Law Fragment】 to stand against the many, drawing everyone’s hatred while suppressing them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, these transformation duels were no longer just about individual combat ability. More often, they tested one’s adaptation to the environment and one’s ability to conserve magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the prolonged standoff, one contestant within the hurricane’s circle finally exhausted their magic and was forced to undo their transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once their transformation ended, the crushing air pressure within the hurricane overwhelmed them. With a scream, they were forced to activate the 【Anti-Magic Ring】 on their finger, withdrawing from the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing impressive after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that contestant quit the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】, Marquell-Storm naturally claimed the 【Anti-Magic Ring】 representing ten points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marquell, I won’t let you get away with this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first forced withdrawal as precedent, soon a second contestant, also drained of magic, had no choice but to activate their 【Anti-Magic Ring】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before doing so, that contestant spitefully spat out a threat before leaving in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trash is still trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claiming his second 【Anti-Magic Ring】, Marquell-Storm dismissed the threat with a smirk. Floating in midair, he locked his predatory gaze on the remaining contestants within the hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps realizing Marquell-Storm’s intentions, the contestants no longer wasted effort trying to break out. Instead, they changed strategy, transforming into feathers, leaves, or other lightweight forms that required little magic, allowing themselves to drift within the hurricane’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should’ve done that from the start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the shift in tactics while quietly recovering magic in her tree form, Janna silently agreed with their choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfortunately, it’s already too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though transforming into feathers or leaves did indeed minimize magic use, Marquell-Storm—already tasting success—would not waste this chance. He gathered greater force, using the hurricane’s natural high pressure to drain the trapped contestants’ magic faster, forcing them to surrender their 【Anti-Magic Rings】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, before long, more contestants trapped inside reluctantly activated their 【Anti-Magic Rings】, one after another withdrawing from the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just this tactic, Marquell-Storm seized roughly eight 【Anti-Magic Rings】—eighty points in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all contestants, he was now the undisputed number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumble—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Storm Valley’s situation grew tense, the familiar booming sound resounded from the skies once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, the next stage is beginning——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic surged. The storm abruptly ceased. Feeling the surrounding magic particles spiral into chaos again, Janna swiftly shed her tree form, returning to human shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumble—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the roaring grew louder, contestants who survived the second round returned to the Meditation Array. Even Louisto-Tulan, who had flown out of the valley, quickly retreated back to rejoin the Meditation Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only this few came back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the returning group besides Louisto-Tulan, Janna’s eyes flickered with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she remembered correctly, fourteen had broken out alongside Louisto-Tulan at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the end, only eight returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but their current demeanor was no longer united as when they left together. Instead, they kept their distance from one another—eyes holding faint traces of wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like conflict broke out—”\u003C\u002Fp>",967,"2026-06-03T07:45:07.522Z","2026-06-03T07:45:11.714Z",1,"novelbin.me","815a45f3d451abd6afb7fced459a964501589ba6e4fd80d885d376751212eb26","so-i-became-a-witch-and-started-doing-daily-ques-chapter-402",null,416,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fso-i-became-a-witch-and-started-doing-daily-ques-cover.jpg"]
