Chapter 190: Behind the "mask"

Ding ding, bang!

Mahabhiru kept swinging the crescent-shaped double blades behind him, using violence to fight against the wooden man who was locking onto Lin You.

But after a period of confrontation, it has become clear that it is declining.

It is true that his attack power is extremely fierce, but compared with the nearly immortal wooden man, his body is no different from a toy.

What's more, the attack power of the wooden man chasing Lin You is not weak at all, and is not much inferior to Mahabhiru.

Fortunately, the appearance of a skilled black magician provided some long-range output.

As the dome staff was in operation, the black magic bullets released slightly hindered the movements of some of the wooden stake men and attracted some of its attention.

But the situation is still not optimistic, so Lin You chooses to initiate the fusion directly.

Things are different now. His magic power is now abundant, close to 500 points.

Previously, for testing purposes, I summoned Baphomet and released his ultimate move, which consumed about 150 points of magic power.

Although it consumed a lot, he still had nearly 350 points of magic power left, which was more than enough for him to squander!

In the air.

The appearance of Chimera attracted a lot of people's attention. Under the gaze of these people, it quickly flapped its wings and killed the wooden man.

whoosh!

The wind element began to spread naturally, and Chimera moved swiftly, quickly colliding with the wooden man and replacing Mahabhiru's main combat position.

More precise, main resistance!

In terms of attack power, without considering combat skills, Mahabhiru is Lin You's undisputed ace.

The attack on the wooden stake man is also the most effective.

It's just that it can't take a beating very well. It's so precious that it needs a "tank dad" to help take care of it.

Chimera is the best candidate. He has a life level of super black star and the ability to fly. The wooden stake man can't do anything to him for a while.

While Chimera and the wooden man were fighting, Mahabhiru waited for an opportunity and attacked the wooden man from time to time, stealing damage quite steadily.

Of course, the most pleasurable stealing is done by a skilled black magician, who is just a bit of a scraper.

However, the situation here has gradually stabilized and turned around as Chimera joined the battlefield.

The attack of these wooden stake men was quite sudden, but they were all one-on-one and not in groups, so the threat was much smaller.

But even so, probably only a few people can deal with it calmly.

The wooden stake man is still very strong, and the group of people lying on the ground are not really weaklings.

After stabilizing the situation in his own area, Lin You finally had time to look elsewhere.

The screams that were heard before have almost stopped now, and those who should have fainted have all fainted.

Including this guy Guo Rui, who ran away for a while and couldn't hold on any longer.

There are very few people who can still run away now, probably less than twenty people, and none of them are simple.

As for those who don’t run, there are even fewer.

Looking closely, it seems that they are all the rookie kings of their respective schools, or those close to that level.

At Jiangcheng University, apart from Lin You, the only one who was relatively calm was Xia Mu.

As for Xiao Yi, the situation on his side is not optimistic. The wooden man chasing him seems to be particularly fierce, even more powerful than the one on Lin You's side!

After consuming a large amount of magic power before, it is extremely difficult to summon a super black star monster now!

After being summoned, it is impossible to provide any support.

Don't forget, not everyone can summon Black Star and Super Black Star monsters at the cost of 100 and 200 magic points respectively like Lin You!

For normal people, the cost would be doubled!

The previous test was not a big deal for Lin You, but it was a huge drain on others!

Of course, these people all carry cards to restore magic power, and the amount of magic power restored is quite astonishing.

In this regard, Lin You still lacks a lot. Just relying on a Swift Mole is still a long way to go.

The wooden man chasing Xia Mu was obviously much weaker.

From this perspective, the strength of this wooden man seems to be really linked to the test results.

To be more specific, it should be said that it is the intensity of the power unleashed by those monsters!

Otherwise, with the same ten points, the wooden stake man chasing Xiao Yi is much stronger than the wooden stake men chasing Lin You and Du Zhizhong. This doesn't make sense.

Xiao Yi's monster was self-destructing at the time, how could it not be powerful?

Now that the backlash has occurred, the wooden stake man is planning to retaliate!

The rookie kings of the other major universities are in good condition now. They have enough energy to summon super black star monsters. Even if the summons are quite reluctant, they are basically enough to intercept the wooden stake men.

They are not Xiao Yi, who can't make his monster self-destruct.

Besides, you can't play it even if you want to. Xiao Yi's explosive man is designed for this purpose. This is his ultimate move!

After looking for a while, his eyes soon locked onto Du Zhizhong.

Lin You was quite interested in the deck of this genius, who was extremely famous and was pre-destined by many to be the "Rookie King of Jiangcheng".

This person also scored 10 points in the previous test, and what he summoned was a rare thunder monster.

At this moment, the one in charge is still the Thunder Clan, but this time, it is a super black star!

It was a floating monster with lightning wrapped around its body. At first glance, it looked like a huge bird.

But if you look closely, you can find dragon scales on its body, especially the golden-brown tail, which is more like a dragon's characteristic.

This is actually a thunderbird dragon. This thunderbird dragon is looking down from high above, and it either flaps its wings or emits bursts of sound waves, all of which stir up thunder and lightning.

Lightning struck the wooden man, and his steps became slightly slowed down, as if he was temporarily paralyzed.

But the wooden man who could deal with Du Zhizhong was no ordinary person. He was very strong and jumped up, trying to ride on the Thunderbird Dragon.

But the opponent spun around, dodged it, and hit back with lightning again.

The wooden man punched out, breaking the lightning. Unable to ride on his opponent, he relied on his own ability to fly.

Soon, a fierce battle broke out with the Thunderbird Dragon in mid-air.

Du Zhizhong stood below and released another magic card.

The magic card quickly gathered into a force and was input into the Thunderbird Dragon's body, causing its aura to increase. Obviously, it was an amplifying card.

At this time, Du Zhizhong still had a way to provide amplification to super black star monsters, and his magic reserves were indeed impressive.

But this has a lot to do with his innate demon-adaptable physique.

It's not just because of this physique, the magic absorption effect is better, so the magic practice is faster and deeper.

Some people with excellent innate magic adaptability can form a stronger connection with monsters after their souls are connected. Even if the level of magic resonance is not reached, the consumption will be reduced.

How much weight you lose depends on your physical strength.

But no matter how much, it is basically impossible to reduce the consumption by half directly like Lin You.

Unless it really reaches the level of 'magic resonance'!

The amplification was achieved, and the destructive power of the Thunderbird Dragon was taken to a higher level. However, because it was a super black star of the Thunder Clan, the attacks it released came with certain paralysis effects.

Moreover, this special effect can form a certain degree of accumulation.

As the attacks continued to accumulate, the actions of the wooden man were obviously interfered with. Even though he also had the ability to fight in the air, he was still somewhat like being "flyed like a kite" by the Thunderbird Dragon.

In the sea.

The rookie king of Wasp High School named Song Ming has a giant sea snake as his guardian against the super black star monster.

Song Ming stood on the sea snake's raised head, and his aura seemed to be looking down on everyone.

In other words, Song Ming looks low-key and seems to be a low-key person as well, otherwise his presence would be overwhelming.

This sea snake was quite brave in fighting in the sea it was familiar with. It would occasionally roll up waves and overturn the wooden stake men that were chasing it.

But the wooden man stood up again quickly. At this level, it was unrealistic to cause any substantial harm to him, and his movements were limited under the influence.

It may form a restriction, which has already met Song Ming's expectations.

As for the damage... just take your time, there's no time limit anyway, so at worst you can just wait and see!

At this point, those who still have the energy to summon super-black star-level monsters are in a pretty good situation.

Xiao Yi...that's an exception!

Putting these people aside, there are still those who are struggling. Some of them are struggling decently, like Qi Yuxuan and Zeng Xi. They rely on the black star monster and some other means to fight and retreat at the same time, and they may be able to hold on for a while.

But more often than not, they struggled in a very awkward manner, simply relying on running around to delay time.

The reason why it has dragged on until now is simply because the wooden stakes chasing them are much weaker.

But no matter how low it is, there is a bottom line, and this bottom line is not weak!

Aggression and speed are easy to deal with, the key is... endurance!

If you can't kill them, after a protracted battle, you will lose the ability to outlast them.

Jia Jiao took in everything on the beach. Apart from some individual moments, his expression remained calm.

Waiting quietly, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour!

On the beach, more than a dozen people were knocked unconscious, and there were really not many people left who were still holding on.

But by this time, some shocking situations began to occur.

Whoosh, bang!

Chimera, with wounds dragging around him for who knows how many times, collided with the wooden man again.

After the collision, the two heads stretched forward and bit quickly.

At the same time, Mahabhiru suddenly merged with the spiral double blades and began to spin wildly!

The skilled black magician was not idle either. He pointed his staff forward, his aura rising sharply, and a burst of dark energy blasted down on the wooden man!

Combat skills burst out!

The power is also quite impressive.

The wooden stake man stumbled and fell into the Chimera's mouth.

Chimera immediately shook its head and pulled the wooden stake man it was biting towards Mahabhiru.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The spiral double blades danced, and the wooden man, who was already covered with wounds from the long battle, was now even more riddled with holes.

The moment Mahabhiru stopped spinning, the wooden man suddenly stopped moving and stood still.

Chimera observed it briefly and found nothing unusual, so he made a move to claw him.

Bang!

The wooden stake man fell straight down, and the red light in his eyes disappeared.

The sound of someone falling to the ground was undoubtedly quite eye-catching in the current environment.

It did attract quite a few eyes, and those who were attracted at this time were naturally all very powerful.

"Is this...solved?"

Xia Mu opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

It's still the same as always, always achieving these amazing achievements that are different from ordinary people.

First kill!

This fallen wooden stake figure is also unique in the entire venue.

Even if there were several people present, they would probably be able to defeat the corresponding wooden stakes later, but it would never be so fast.

This is something that even Du Zhizhong, who is good at attacking and bursting, could not achieve.

Of course, from Xia Mu's perspective, he never thought that Du Zhizhong could defeat Lin You in a duel.

Even though it was rumored outside that this person had the ability to become the new leader of Jiangcheng, and also had a unique innate physique suitable for magic.

But so what? Lin You will only become stronger!

Innate physique suitable for demons, this kind of thing, he had witnessed with his own eyes the powerful talent that Lin You displayed during the entrance test.

That is not just an ordinary innate demon-adaptable physique, but the top one among them!

Others say that Du Zhizhong has a chance to win the title of Jiangcheng Freshman, but Xia Mu expects that Lin You is actually competing for the 2017 National Rookie of the Year award!

Xia Mu has a very high opinion of Lin You.

But at this moment, it was still a bit surprising that Lin You could solve the problem so efficiently.

If he is like this, let alone others.

Looking at the fallen wooden man, he didn't even pay attention to the battle situation on his side for a moment and was a little distracted.

Du Zhizhong's face was solemn, and there were only two words in his mind.

So strong!

Besides, there are some things I can't understand.

He really wanted to know how much magic power Lin You had now.

After that test, he was still able to release magic without reservation. The key point was that Du Zhizhong did not see him release any cards that could restore magic.

Of course, it’s hard to say, as Du Zhizhong can’t always keep an eye on Lin You.

But no matter what, the magic power that Lin You unleashed and the strength of the cards he released were extremely powerful.

Du Zhizhong can feel this!

With his heart agitated, his gaze suddenly shifted, and his magic power burst out again, almost squeezing out all the magic power, and activated the card again to provide support to the Thunderbird Dragon.

Boom, boom!

The thunder became louder and louder, and the Thunderbird Dragon exploded even more fiercely. Under this continuous suppression, the wooden man seemed to be retreating step by step, and had many injuries on his body.

But it will probably take some time for it to be completely destroyed.

And at this moment.

Having successfully dealt with the wooden man, Lin You felt relieved and smiled easily.

Successfully defeating the wooden man was actually within his calculations.

At first, I couldn't calculate it, but as the fight went on, I could roughly feel that the wooden man was gradually becoming powerless.

After discovering this, Lin You waited until the right time, released his magic power, and used all his ultimate moves.

As expected, the wooden man was defeated in one fell swoop.

He leisurely looked at the situation in the circle, and suddenly, he noticed that someone seemed to be staring at him in the other side of the battle circle, so he looked over immediately.

As expected, it was Jia Jiao.

Wow, has Lao Jia completely stopped pretending?

He had a expressionless face and his eyes were cold and murderous. If he stared at a child, the child would probably be scared to tears.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You can't just destroy this wooden man and then ask for compensation, right?

That's a bit deceptive, cheating and deceiving. This is not encouraged, Lao Jia!

Jia Jiao’s thoughts were hard to understand, but he quickly withdrew his gaze from Lin You, as if nothing had happened.

On the beach, the battle continues.

Time flies, and another hour has passed.

This time, the entire beach was completely calm.

There were people lying all over the beach.

Apart from the few wooden stakes, the rest were students from various schools.

As for those wooden figures, they were naturally the work of Du Zhizhong and others.

These new kings are indeed worthy of their reputation, but there are certain differences in the time it takes to deal with the wooden stakes.

Among them, Du Zhizhong is the fastest.

But this fastest one is not actually a crushing victory compared to the ones behind it.

The only one who truly has a clear advantage in time is Lin You.

Moreover, the wooden stake man he dealt with was not weak at all.

Nonsense, it’s a very good product. No matter what, its strength is among the top three among many wooden stakes.

In this battle, Lin You showed extraordinary abilities.

Although only a few people had the opportunity to see the end, because of this, they all had good eyesight.

Lin You is very strong, very strong!

The arrogant self-confidence of the students at Jiangcheng University seems to be not without reason.

Even though the time it takes to defeat the wooden man cannot completely distinguish the strength of the actual duel, it is more convincing than the previous explosive power test.

What's more, Lin You's lead lasted for quite a while.

The few people who successfully defeated the wooden stake men felt deeply moved, but Jia Jiao still looked indifferent.

Suddenly, huge waves arose on the sea, and an ice-blue figure emerged from the waves.

Sea Dragon-Taidalus!

No one knew when this monster had been lurking in the seabed, but it suddenly appeared at this moment, roaring and mobilizing a large amount of sea water, which was also glowing with a slight ice-blue luster.

The temperature also dropped sharply, turning into ice water.

Plop, plop!

The icy water spread out in large pieces, directly covering most of the beach.

Lin You and his companions who witnessed this scene naturally had time to withdraw, but the students who fainted were helpless.

In fact, this move was obviously aimed at them.

As soon as the ice water fell, the first group of students who came into contact with it shuddered noticeably, twitching a few times like fish coming ashore, and then opened their eyes in vain.

"Oh, it's freezing, freezing!"

He hugged his body, shivered and ran on the beach, shouting.

The same scene soon followed.

On the beach, a group of people began to run around. Some of them bumped into each other without paying attention and fell to the ground, but after a while, they started to complain of the cold again.

A group of people were running, jumping, trembling, and crying out in pain!

The ice water mobilized by the sea dragon is obviously not just of ordinary low temperature, but also comes with a chill that continuously erodes the human body.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to wake these people up quickly.

After a long period of commotion, it finally calmed down.

After all, he is a genius. After the initial chaos, he knew to rely on magic to expel the ice in his body.

This ice was still moderate and would not exceed their endurance.

Of course, after expelling everything, a lot of magic power was consumed again.

The worst off are those students who have very little magic power left.

Even after draining out all my magic power, I still can't completely solve the problem. Until now, I am still suffering from the cold.

If it weren't for the fact that the ice seemed to have some spirituality and was less corrosive to people whose magic power was exhausted, it might really freeze people to death!

"Ah, Lin You, I almost thought I was going to die."

As soon as Guo Rui got rid of the ice in his body, he came to Lin You and said with a look of grief and anger, "Instructor Jia is too dishonest and has too many tricks. I should have believed the rumors I heard earlier. What a mistake."

As for the fact that Lin You looked like nothing had happened, he was not surprised.

Lin You is very strong. It’s not that easy to make him lose face.

Listening to his complaints, Lin You couldn't help but laugh. "Haven't you always been very cautious and smart when opening the market? Why didn't it work this time?"

“Who would have thought?”

Guo Rui lamented, "Who knew that Instructor Jia was not only a devil instructor, but also an 'old silver coin' devil instructor!"

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation for commenting on Lao Jia like this?"

Lin You jokingly said, "If you ask me, Lao Jia is being a bit tricky. This ice water might even have a monitoring function. Whatever you say, the sea dragon will be able to sense it and report it back to Lao Jia."

"Not really?"

Even so, Guo Rui's expression changed slightly. After a moment, he smiled brightly. "Don't get me wrong, I'm praising Instructor Jia. Look at this unique training method, how brilliant! How impressive! Otherwise, how can it serve as a warning? Deceiving people? That's slander! This is clearly teaching us a lesson through our own actions: don't trust others easily. As a duelist, you need to have clearer judgment and keep a clear head at all times, otherwise you will suffer a great loss. I understand. Instructor Jia really has good intentions!"

At the end, Guo Rui pretended to cry.

Lin You remained silent. This guy, a face-changing monster?

As the two were talking, everyone's eyes turned to Jia Jiao.

There is anxiety, fear, vigilance, and doubt, but more than that, there is anger!

After training for so long, these people have understood one thing.

I've been fooled!

He was completely fooled by the image of a kind instructor that Jia Jiao deliberately created.

Kind? Approachable?

Stop joking, this is a premeditated deception!

The reality is completely the opposite, Jia Jiao is actually a devil!

Logically speaking, this image is more in line with everyone's imagination, but that is based on the premise of "from beginning to end".

But what about Jia Jiao?

A wolf in sheep's clothing!

This is the most hateful and infuriating thing!

Some people, when they think about the unreserved protection and trust they gave to Jia Jiao when he was questioned, feel like clowns.

funny!

ridiculous!

Anger is naturally difficult to contain.

But facing all these looks, Jia Jiao remained indifferent. After looking around at everyone with a cold gaze, he suddenly said calmly, "How weak."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned, and soon, they became even more angry!

Someone couldn't help but complain angrily, "Instructor Jia, is this interesting? Is this fun? If you want to be harsh, why not just do it openly if you have any high-intensity training programs? If I complain even a little, I'll be disqualified from participating in this training camp. Is playing dirty tricks considered a skill?"

Many people share the same feeling and are "filled with indignation."

But some people secretly shook their heads, thinking that this young and foolish man came out to be the first to take action. Did he have a brain short circuit?

Even though they felt that Jia Jiao's actions were indeed inappropriate, it was only in the conventional sense. However, this was a training camp, and it was a training camp personally guided by the association staff.

Can the training content be regular?

If someone just says something casually, like when you encounter a crisis in a secret realm, or the enemy attacks you and you argue with him, you are playing dirty tricks, he will easily get rid of you.

There's really no point in coming out and saying this.

At this moment, Jia Jiao suddenly smiled, but this smile was no longer as kind as he had pretended before, but rather made people feel creepy.

“It’s fun.”

Jia Jiao laughed and said, "It's just not fun enough, because you're weak, too weak. Playing with you is like playing with fragile toys, breaking at the slightest touch. It's hard for me to have fun!"

The person who questioned him was slightly startled, having never expected that Jia Jiao would respond like this.

He actually thought that this devil instructor might throw out some big truths to stop him, and he also thought of some responses, but he didn't expect that Jia Jiao simply admitted it.

Just want to play with you!

After playing, I still feel it’s not enough fun and I think they are too weak!

There was clearly a rage in his heart, but he was speechless.

Jia Jiao was still laughing. Looking at the 'mute' student, he added, "You mentioned high-intensity training? Is that based on your ridiculous strength? A mere wooden stake of average strength left you helpless? The main course hasn't even been served yet, and you're already lying down uselessly. And you're so brazen as to talk about high-intensity training."

"You won't complain about high-intensity training? How self-righteous! You don't think you have any chance of survival under that kind of training, do you? Or do you consider children's playhouse entertainment to be high-intensity? It's embarrassing! Sometimes there has to be a limit!"

The student blushed after hearing the merciless ridicule. After a moment, he retorted, "I wasn't the only one who fainted. A large group of people had already fainted before I did, and there must have been even more people who couldn't hold on after I fainted. These wooden stakes not only attacked us by surprise, but also launched a sneak attack after we had depleted our magic power. They took advantage of our weakness. In a head-on confrontation, I can definitely handle them!"

"That's why I said you are weak."

Jia Jiao sneered, "Isn't this the reality right before our eyes? You're known as Jiangcheng's outstanding students this year, but in the end, only a handful of you can survive this first round of assessment. Duel with the top ten cities? You're tarnishing this prestigious reputation without even realizing it."

“…”

There was complete silence on the beach. All the students felt their hearts were filled with anxiety. Recalling the previous scenes, they wished they could go back to that time and blow up the opposing wooden figures with one punch.

They want to prove that they are not weak, but outstanding new duelists who bring honor to the university and the city!

The first person to step forward was genuinely at a loss for words, but with so many people staring at him, he felt he couldn't back down. He just had to bite the bullet and say, "But you deceived us. We trusted you so much, thinking you were a sincere, kind, and gentle instructor."

"Don't be so arrogant."

Jia Jiao's smile suddenly faded, and he shouted, "I don't need your trust. If you were deceived by me, it's because you're stupid, foolish, and brainless, so you can only be entertained by me. But I'm not interested in having fun with a bunch of fools all the time. What happened today is my advice to you. But if you still keep being stupid, I might as well tell you in advance that the next few days will be hell for you!"

Everyone was silent and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Although no one spoke, everyone knew in their hearts that the true nature of this training camp was only beginning to be revealed to them.

There is no longer the previous peace, friendliness and freedom, but only unknown difficulties and tortures.

Just as Jia Jiao said, this is hell!

Everyone was filled with awe, their expressions kept changing, and their hearts were boiling.

There is excitement, anxiety, and depression, but in the end, many people make a decision with gritted teeth.

So what about hell?

As long as it can help them grow quickly, I'd rather go through this hell!

You won’t die anyway.

Jia Jiao ignored the changes in everyone's emotions and suddenly said, "I am actually a very down-to-earth person."

When these words were spoken, many people secretly rolled their eyes.

Just forget it.

Addicted to pretending? That's enough!

If you are honest, you might as well say that wolves don't like to eat sheep.

Jia Jiao remained unconcerned and continued, "Although you are indeed quite weak and boring, that's not all. The performance of some of you... frankly speaking, I was a little surprised. It completely fits my imagination of the top ten talented students in the Duel City."

The students were all surprised and ignored the words "You are really weak" because they were used to it.

It turns out you can also praise people!

As for who he was praising, although it was not mentioned, we can probably guess. Who else could it be? Isn't it the top talents in various schools?

Among them, the most dazzling one and the one that Instructor Jia cares about the most is no big deal...it’s Du Zhizhong!

He has a congenital physique suitable for demons, the first case in Jiangcheng in recent years. It would be hard not to be outstanding.

Many people had guesses, but Jia Jiao didn't say much. When he spoke again, he changed the subject and said, "Also, I have some good news to announce to you in advance."

Good news?

Instead of feeling a bit happy, everyone felt a bit numb. "Can you believe the good news you're spouting? It's almost like that!"

Amidst the anxious wait, Jia Jiao announced, "Tomorrow, my Hailong will personally play with you. Look forward to it, and you'll have a blast."

“…”

There was complete silence.

After a moment, everyone cursed in their hearts.

Fuck you!

Red Star Monster plays with us?

Is that a game?

This is going to torture us to death!

Please don't take off your kind mask so quickly!

The students were in tears.

In the crowd, Lin You's eyes moved slightly, and a familiar whisper faintly sounded in his ears.

The little guy is finally awake?
