Chapter 10, The Initial Battle of the Newcomer Competition

Since it is a competition for all new students, it is only natural for the Divine Sound Department to participate

On the vast training ground spanning over a thousand square meters, the ten contestants from the Sound and Water systems are now gathered at the center of the venue. Haiyang, with her black hair partially obscuring her face, stands at the back, not drawing much attention. Lan Xi, Xue Ling, and Kong Que are all exceptionally beautiful women, naturally attracting the gaze of the thousands of observing students below. However, the true focus of everyone's attention is not on them, but rather on Ye Yinzhu, who stands at the center of the five contestants from the Sound system.

The Life Guardian is approximately one inch wide, fitting snugly against the skin when worn on the wrist. It is adorned with a total of eight light green gemstones set in a cyan metal, with a gentle energy connecting to the heart meridian, producing a warm sensation. The three magical items are all related to defense, and even though Yin Zhu is not familiar with these objects, she can sense their value.

Just as Zi was about to say something, suddenly, his expression changed, and his gaze, as cold as ice, turned towards one side of the forest

Zi Wei smiled gently and said, "I have come as promised. I also saw your performance on stage just now; it seems you have already integrated into life here."

As night falls, sitting in front of the bamboo house by the azure sea, Qin Shang's figure appears somewhat desolate, with an ancient zither lying across the table before him

The deep and magnetic voice made Ye Yinzhu feel a strong sense of familiarity

Ferguson smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face capable of holding any type of legume. "The Department of Divine Sound is going into battle, so I naturally must show my support for Director Nina. I believe there must be outstanding students among this year's new recruits in the Department of Divine Sound"

Hello, I am Karachi, a second-year student in the Water Department and the captain of the new students' competition. Please advise me

At this moment, the other four students of the Water System finally completed their magic. Water Roar, a spell that conjures giant waves. If it were cast by a single Orange-level mage, its power would naturally be limited, but when four mages unleash it simultaneously, the effect is quite remarkable. The quadruple overlapping orange giant waves surged forward with a strong howling sound towards the side of the Sound System.

After leaving the academy, Ye Yinzhu rushed northward for ten miles before stopping in front of a grove of trees. The excitement in his expression was hard to conceal, and amidst the surging emotions, he shouted loudly, "Zi, where are you? I have arrived"

She naturally knew that the Water Spirit's protection was Vagre's own magic wand, which he had given to Karachi for use. Vagre had already taken out his most treasured possessions, yet Nina showed no signs of worry. In terms of wealth, no department could compare to the Divine Sound Department, which frequently had princess-level students. The reputation of the First Academic Department was not earned lightly.

Impossible

Standing in the central position represents the leader of this department. No one expected that the leader of the Divine Sound Department was not the second-year student Ocean, but rather Ye Yinzhu, who accepted the challenge from the genius girl of the Wind Department, Roland

Father

A heartfelt wish, destiny does not allow the qin and xiao to miss each other in this life, leaving behind the most beautiful musical bond, here.

The flowing water is serene under the sky, entering the ears with clarity as night falls

What?

The five representatives of the Water System include two men and three women. Compared to the three female students from the Sound System, their appearances are considerably more ordinary. At this moment, their attention is completely captivated by the elegant Yin Zhu in front of them, and one can even clearly see the pink glow emanating from her. Just as men are fond of beautiful women, women equally admire handsome men.

Ye Yin Zhu curiously asked

The Soul Guardian is a silver necklace, crafted from an unknown metal, with a heart-shaped silver gemstone embedded in the pendant. When Ye Yinzhu puts it on, the gemstone unexpectedly adheres to his chest, and a strange elemental fluctuation completely merges with his mental power. His mind seems to become clearer, and his mental power is further compressed and solidified under the influence of that intangible elemental energy.

Wagrey is a thin old man, looking at Nina with a smile that is neither fully a smile nor fully not a smile

Wait a moment

Yin Zhu awakened from her contemplation, "It's nothing. The freshman competition will begin in two days."

Nina did not even glance at him, her gaze solely fixed on the students from both sides already on the training ground. She replied calmly, "Since our Divine Sound Department is the top department of Milan Magic Martial Academy, why shouldn't we participate? You should instead think about how to prevent your Water Department from finishing last again in the freshman competition."

The melodious sounds transform into verses, telling you, listen closely.

Ferguson cast a meaningful glance at Nina and said, "The Moon Goddess protects. Even I find myself envious of the Sound of God system."

Ye Yin Zhu stepped to the left with his left foot. Although the water arrow was swift, his seemingly casual movement perfectly evaded it. The red water arrow struck the defense shield of the training ground, creating a slight ripple.

Yes, just as the competition ended, Zi's voice clearly rang in his ear. Zi only said one sentence: I will wait for you in the woods ten miles north of the academy.

What? Father, have you been following me all along

Yin Zhu should have already arrived in Milan, have you seen him? Nina, oh Nina, do you know how much I long to see you, but I cannot, I carry too much on my shoulders

Director Nina, I originally thought that the participation of your department in the competition was merely a rumor, but I did not expect it to be true

Ye Yin Zhu was unaware of what Karachi meant by "a pity". At this moment, the opponent's attack had already commenced. The four contestants selected from the one hundred first-year freshmen were undoubtedly the cream of the crop among the newcomers. Shades of orange, varying in depth, were almost simultaneously released from their bodies, all exhibiting the level of intermediate mages. The low, resonant chanting of spells began, marking the start of their incantations

Karachi raised the magic wand in his hand, the tip of the wand adorned with a brilliant blue gem that emitted a soft glow, and his incantation had already begun. From the audience, someone shouted, "Blessing of the Water Spirit."

Sula chuckled softly, his large eyes still bright in the night. "You really intend to participate! Don't hold out any hope; your Divine Sound Department won't have a chance. It's better for you to rest early; I think it would be wise for you to consider your future instead."

A golden sun shines upon the earth, and the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy is filled with vibrant vitality, with various plants releasing the freshest air under the sunlight. Although this place is close to the northern tip of the continent, the temperature remains quite comfortable due to the summer season

Xue Ling jumped up excitedly. She hugged Ye Yinzhu's neck and gave him a warm kiss on the cheek, causing Ye Yinzhu to blush and feel awkward, not knowing how to respond.

Ferguson smiled slightly, "Water magic is actually quite good, but unfortunately, the power of low-level water magic is insufficient. Director Nina, that main commander from your Divine Sound system, Ye Yinzhu, is quite interesting."

Ye Chong was dressed in a gray warrior outfit. Although he was nearing forty years of age, he appeared not much older than Ye Yinzhu, though he was significantly more mature. A jade-green longsword was slung across his back, and his gaze towards Ye Yinzhu was filled with affection.

Divine Sound System, Divine Sound System, Divine Sound System

What is a contract of equal destiny?

A large number of new students and students from other grades gathered around the competition arena to watch, and the most popular event was the match between the Sound System and the Water System at Arena No. 6 today

Yin Zhu let out an excited shout, and his body shot forward like an arrow, enveloped in a strong yellow light, arriving before him in the blink of an eye, as if nailed in place, creating a seamless transition between movement and stillness.

Apart from the central district, more than two-thirds of the Milan Magic and Martial Arts Academy consists of training grounds for various departments, as both magical and martial arts training require ample space. Today, the training grounds of each department are particularly lively, as over ten main training arenas are hosting the freshman competition.

In the delicate understanding of the moment, a single string resonates in silence

Ye Yin Zhu nodded and said, "Zi, are you alright? I can't help but feel that you seem a bit tired."

Wagrey stood there somewhat dazed, saying, "Impossible, this cannot be. Even with the Moon Goddess's protection, it is inconceivable that a Crimson-level student could block the Water Dragon's Roar."

Sula lay on her bed and curiously asked Yinzhu

Even the usually proud Nina quickly stood up upon seeing this person and respectfully said, "Hello, Dean Ferguson"

Yay—we won, we really won

Looking at the contestants from the Divine Sound category before her, Karachi couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It was one thing for the Divine Sound category to produce beautiful women, but this was the first time in many years that a male student had emerged, and he was so handsome that he overshadowed her own presence. Hmph, soon you will know my strength

A figure shimmering with a yellow light appeared before the two in the blink of an eye. Even Ye Yinzhu could not discern the appearance of this figure, as its speed was simply too fast. However, recognition does not necessarily rely on sight; the familiar aura was sufficient for him.

He originally thought that with the participation of the Divine Sound System, the Water System would not finish last, but at this moment, his mood had completely plummeted to the lowest point

For Ye Yin Zhu, although he has settled down at the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy, this is not his home after all. Zi, who has been his companion for ten years, is undoubtedly the person he trusts the most, aside from his family

Under the clear brilliance of a thousand miles, cherishing the moon together

A cold light flashed in the purple eyes, "It's nothing, just something that needed to be done. Moreover, this is only the beginning."

The ocean's response was the most subdued. As the dream came to an end, holding her guzheng, she headed towards the training ground.

Although he has only four fingers, his hands are as strong as steel, and even Zi was somewhat surprised by Ye Yinzhu's remarkable strength

Ah!

Wagrey widened his eyes and stood up from the stands. The magical radiance emanating from Ye Yinzhu was clearly crimson!

The sound of the zither resonates, tears fall like raindrops. Although it is not the clear moonlight zither, at this very moment, when Qin Shang's hands press upon the strings, his thoughts have already immersed themselves in distant memories.

Ye Yin Zhu nodded in return and said: "Hello, I am Ye Yin Zhu, the captain of the Divine Sound Department, a first-year student. Please give me your guidance"

Ye Zhong smiled faintly, "I have only this one son. Neither his mother nor I, nor his two grandfathers, can fully rest assured allowing him to wander alone on the mainland. Therefore, I have been secretly protecting him all along. Now that he has arrived at Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy, my task can be considered complete"

The orange light radiates outward like ripples, accompanied by the clear, jade-like sound of music. This zither piece is titled "Dream," and its soft yet melancholic melody seems to express the emotions of the ocean as it is played.

Lan Xi was much more reserved, with a gentle smile gracing his face

Wagley exclaimed in surprise, "Dean Ferguson, what brings you here as well?"

Before the match began, absolutely no one believed that the Sound System would emerge victorious. In previous wizard competitions, both sides would bombard each other with magic, and the side whose magical power was exhausted first would lose. It was purely a contest of strength. However, today's match concluded far too quickly. The Water System students barely managed to cast a single offensive spell before being defeated by the Sound System. At this moment, many students began to question the Sound System's reputation for being ineffective.

Wagrey relinquished his position to Ferguson, who waved to the two faculty members standing around him who greeted him, saying: "Everyone, please take your seats, the match is about to begin"

The Moon Goddess did not wear the sound bamboo, but he had already closely carried the spiritual and life guardians. Although Nina appeared fierce upon learning that she was Master Qin's disciple, he could clearly sense, beyond her profound sadness, Nina's grandmother's longing for Master Qin. What Nina brought to him was a feeling akin to that of family.

A gasp of astonishment arose from the audience watching the match. They could all see that even if the students of the Sound Magic system could cast their previous magical shields again, they would still be unable to withstand the attack of the yellow-level magic. The outcome of the competition seemed to be predetermined

A determined light flashed in Ye Yinzhu's eyes as his right hand shot out like lightning, firmly grasping Zi's left arm. "Zi, if you want to leave, I will go with you. Both grandfathers want me to experience the world on the continent, and being with you is also a form of experience. I do not wish to be separated from you again"

Yin Zhu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Could there really be such a method?"

Wagley felt greatly embarrassed. Water magic has always been considered a relatively weak form of magic; its healing capabilities are inferior to those of light magic, and offensive spells require at least a green tier to truly unleash their power. Consequently, in past freshman competitions, water magic practitioners often ranked at the bottom. Most of those who chose water magic came from average backgrounds, and among the working students, water magic practitioners were the most numerous. This situation determined that these students lacked sufficient financial resources to purchase advanced magical items.

Zi patted Yin Zhu's shoulder, "I also do not wish to part ways with you. However, at this moment, we are not yet capable of accomplishing everything we desire on the mainland. Staying here would be beneficial for you. Therefore, I currently have a compromise in mind, and I am unsure if you and *Tu* *Shu* would be willing to accept it."

Zi nodded slightly, a glimmer of determination shining in her eyes. "What I have today is all granted by you. Do not ask me why. When your strength is sufficient, I will tell you everything. The method I speak of is called an Equal Life Contract."

Karachi did not chant; instead, a faint yellow light emanated from him, indicating the initial stage of the Yellow level. A sudden red water arrow shot straight towards Ye Yinzhu's chest. As the commander, Karachi initiated a probing attack right from the start. Having reached the Yellow level, he was fully capable of instantly casting Red level magic.

Purple

Karachi responded with a sound, and both sides retreated simultaneously. A teacher from the academic affairs office became the referee for this match. After confirming the competition format for both sides, he announced loudly that the match had begun

No wonder that when leaving the Azure Sea, I always felt that someone was following us; it turned out to be you

Two days passed quickly. Every day when Ye Yinzhu arrived at the Divine Sound Department, Nina would gather the five participants to discuss the strategies for the upcoming competition. She seemed to have forgotten about that day and no longer paid much attention to Ye Yinzhu. However, beneath her stern exterior, her gaze occasionally revealed a hint of softness.

In response to Karachi, there is a resonant and powerful sound, akin to the quivering of a dragon's chant, emanating from the zither. The performance of the ocean has already begun

Nina's instruction for the first match was simply four words: achieve victory through surprise. The Sound Mages had never participated in a competition within the academy, and no one was familiar with them, which constituted their greatest advantage

The referee made an accurate ruling. Even if the magician's hand-to-hand combat skills are poor, it is still entirely possible to throw a sleeping person off the stage.

The peacock proudly puffed out its full chest and declared, "The Divine Sound System is the strongest."

What method?

Ye Yin Zhu was unaware that others were discussing him. As soon as the competition ended, he immediately left the No. 6 training ground and ran in a single direction. This was because, just before the end of the competition, he had heard a voice—a voice that filled him with extreme excitement

This method allows me, even though I am not by your side, to ensure that we can meet at any time.

As the power of the Fourfold Water Roar dissipated, the three orange magical defense shields also vanished simultaneously. Magical items require a certain amount of mental energy to sustain them, and both the novice-level Scarlet-tier Xueling and Lanxi already appeared somewhat pale.

Arriving gracefully, holding the piano you love, tonight is even more enchanting

Yin Zhu was taken aback and said, "Zi, are you still leaving?"

Ye Yin Zhu, we are about to begin

With a low growl, a domineering aura suddenly emanated from him. Although there was no glow of fighting spirit, Ye Chong was horrified to see that the ground beneath Zi's feet had silently developed a network of cracks. The anger of Zi even made him feel a certain degree of pressure. Clenching his fists tightly, a series of bone-cracking sounds echoed, "Let me know who it is, and I will definitely crush every bone in his body"

In Karachi's eyes, a brilliant light flashed, "Good, orange-level high rank. Truly worthy of being the first genius of the Divine Sound system. What a pity..."

At that moment, Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly and retreated alongside the three women, Xueling and the others, to the side of the ocean. A milky white light was released from the Moon God Guardian on his body, instantly expanding to a radius of ten meters, enveloping the five individuals within it

Vagrey let out a snort of anger, remaining silent as he turned to leave with the teachers of the Water System. Having been defeated by the Sound System, he truly felt too ashamed to stay here any longer

A wooden table and wooden chairs; Haiyang sits down in the back of the room, her guzheng already laid flat on the table. Meanwhile, the other four individuals, led by Ye Yinzhu, stand five meters in front of Haiyang, forming an arc that subtly protects her from behind.

He understands Nina much better than Vagre. Nina's pride is renowned throughout the Milan Empire; without a certain level of confidence and the offensive capabilities of the Sound System, she would not be standing on today's trial grounds.

Karachi was taken aback. In the confrontation between wizards, instances of evasion were rare. He never expected Ye Yinzhu to respond to his attack in such a manner. At that moment, he sensed something was amiss. According to the original plan, his four companions should have already unleashed their first wave of magic, yet their incantations remained incomplete. Why was this happening? It was the zheng sound; the sudden realization made Karachi's expression turn grave. He suddenly discovered that the sound master was not without merit, as the ocean's zheng melody had begun to take effect.

The peacock scoffed, "So this is the level of skill!"

The power of the Water Dragon Chant is indeed impressive. However, after the momentary impact, the gasps from the audience took on a different tone. The three-meter-long yellow water dragon was shattered, while the milky-white light shield only showed some minor cracks.

The observation platform of the No. 6 trial arena has twenty seats, which are usually occupied by teachers from the Water Department to observe the students' cultivation. However, it has now become a viewing area for both the Water and Sound Departments. Director Nina sits in the central position, with the mid-level blue mage Wagle, the head of the Water Department, seated beside her. The other teachers from both departments are seated on either side. Fortunately, most of the teachers from the Water Department are female, so the beautiful teachers from the Sound Department have not been harassed. It is well known that the beauty of the Sound Department teachers is as famous as that of their students.

According to the rules of the freshman competition, out of respect for women, the side with a greater number of female participants has the right to choose the method of competition. If the number of female participants is the same, a draw will determine the decision. It is evident that in both combat and magic disciplines, the only department that can field four female participants is the Divine Sound department. This is also one of the advantages of the Divine Sound department.

The resounding cheers rose and fell like waves, with even some students from the Water Department cheering for the Sound Department. No one expected the Sound Department to win, but the opportunity to see so many beautiful women from the Sound Department was a desire shared by all male students. If they could leave a good impression on the beauties, it would be an immense blessing.

Ye Yin Zhu looked at Ye Chong in surprise, "Do you know where the person who stole my ring is?"

Yin Zhu let out an excited shout, confirming that the figure who had suddenly appeared was none other than Ye Yin Zhu's father, Ye Chong

Before Ye Zhong could speak, Zi's expression had already changed dramatically. Her gaze fell upon Yin Zhu's left hand, which had only four fingers, and she then realized that the original space ring had been replaced with another one. "Yin Zhu, did you lose your space ring? What about your zither..."

The pure white robe of the Moon Goddess is untainted by dust, with golden edges outlining the collar and cuffs. On the left chest area, there is a crescent-shaped white gem that emits a soft glow. This robe, which is not overly adorned, is imbued with an air of noble elegance.

With long black hair gently draped over his shoulders, an air of elegance emanates from his handsome face. Clad in the Moon God robe and standing in the training ground, Ye Yinzhu seems like a different person altogether. Every gesture and movement is imbued with a noble aura. His elegance is pure and untainted, especially highlighted by his deep and clear black eyes, which seem capable of seeing into the depths of a person's soul. His back is extremely straight, and his tall figure makes the four women beside him appear as his finest adornments. His elegance is pure and untainted, especially highlighted by his deep and clear black eyes, which seem capable of seeing into the depths of a person's soul. His back is extremely straight, and his tall figure makes the four women beside him appear as his finest adornments

The tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from the woods. His hair was still somewhat disheveled, and his star-like, brilliant purple eyes appeared a bit weary, yet his rugged face showed no signs of change. Upon seeing Yin Zhu, the indifference in his eyes softened slightly. It was only when he was with Yin Zhu that such a change in his expression would occur

Nina let out a cold laugh, "Then just watch. The impoverished water elementals will never understand what true magical items are."

In order to reach his destination as quickly as possible, Ye Yinzhu did not even bother to conceal his bamboo fighting spirit, after all, the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy was indeed vast. With the support of his bamboo fighting spirit, he pushed his speed to the limit and managed to run out of the academy in just ten minutes

A single layer of orange-level defense is naturally insufficient to withstand four Water Roars. Both Lan Xi and Xue Ling simultaneously extended their right hands, releasing orange light shields identical to that of the peacock, thereby forming a stacked three-layer defense

Team battle

Karachi is half a head shorter than Ye Yinzhu. Although her appearance is quite good, she suffers from a common affliction of magicians: a pale complexion. In stark contrast to Ye Yinzhu's sunny elegance, she is clearly not on the same level.

Zi rarely revealed a hint of a smile, "You are a student here, and you cannot bring someone along with you. You should study here; it is very suitable for you to adapt to everything on the continent. I have inquired, and the Milan Magic Martial Academy, also known as the Milan Royal Academy, has a very high reputation on the continent. Perhaps you won't learn much about your music magic here, but you will gain a lot of social experience, and moreover, you will not encounter any danger here"

The six points surrounding the competition arena lit up simultaneously, and a massive magical hexagram appeared in mid-air. A faint milky white light formed a gigantic transparent shield, enveloping the entire trial arena. To complete the trial arena's defensive shield with high-grade magic stones, it is likely that only the financially affluent Milan Magic and Martial Arts Academy would undertake such an endeavor. This elemental defensive shield, infused with various elements, can withstand the onslaught of magic below the blue level, and as long as the presiding magician has sufficient energy, it can be sustained indefinitely.

There is one point that Wager agrees with. Even with the protection of the Moon Goddess, a Red-level mage cannot possibly withstand Yellow-level magic.

Hello, you have been sitting there for half a day, neither sleeping nor meditating. What are you thinking about

Yin Zhu苦笑道: "I lost both the introduction letter and the money together."

A yellow light flashed by, leaving only a faint shadow on the road. Some wizards walking within the academy couldn't help but wonder which high-ranking warrior or senior student from the library had ventured into the magical area.

Zi looked at Ye Chong, and Ye Chong also turned his gaze towards him. Their eyes collided in the air, and Ye Yin Zhu seemed to see a spark igniting in midair. After sixteen years, Ye Yin Zhu had grown up. Ye Chong's bamboo fighting spirit had progressed from the initial yellow level to the current sixth stage of the yellow level. This is equivalent to a high-level sky warrior of the blue level in the rainbow ranking, just a step away from becoming a battle master.

Nina stood up, proudly raising her head, "Old man Wagerly, remember my words, this is just the beginning"

The "Dream" has passed its midpoint, and there are no longer any uncertainties. Neither Karaji nor his companions have released the next spell. His four junior disciples have directly fallen into slumber under the influence of the "Dream." Karaji is also drowsy and can no longer chant a single incantation. Naturally, the "Dream" does not affect Yin Zhu and the others, as selective targeting is a special skill of all divine sound masters.

Play a tune from afar, tenderly, within it my heart remains steadfast

Zi Chen said in a low voice

Ye Yin Zhu exclaimed in surprise: "Can humans only sign contracts with magical beasts? Are there such wondrous contracts? That's wonderful, let's get started right now"

When he asked this question, his tone had already changed somewhat, filled with a sense of reluctance

Taking advantage of the impact of the roaring water on the sound of the zheng and the effects of the water spirit's protection, Karachi's magic was perfectly completed, connecting with his companions' magic. A water dragon, approximately three meters long, roared forth, shimmering with a yellow glow as it charged towards the sound system. After completing this spell, Karachi's complexion appeared even paler. The influence of the zheng's sound grew increasingly stronger, and unable to resist, he had no choice but to unleash his most powerful spell, Water Dragon's Song

Ye Yin Zhu's response is concise and powerful

The area of the No. 6 training ground is over a thousand square meters, and any magical discipline requires a certain range for casting. This space is not particularly large. It is said that this is the training ground for the water element, and the number of spectators from the water element disciplines should be the highest. However, at this moment, nearly six thousand people have gathered around the entire No. 6 training ground, which is more than ten times the number of water element students. The reason is simple: since the establishment of Milan Magic and Martial Arts Academy, this is the first time that freshmen from the Sound Element have participated in a competition, and the noble beauties of the Sound Element have a very high reputation in Milan. It is worth noting that most of those who choose to cultivate as Sound Element practitioners come from the highest nobility, as only they do not need to plan for their future livelihood. Who can say that this year's freshmen do not include princesses from various countries of the Longqi Nusi continent?

When the roar of water collided with the triple defense, an orange whirlwind of magical elements erupted within the trial arena. The defensive shield was already struggling to hold up.

All students of the Water System have lost their ability to resist, and the Sound System has emerged victorious

The entire venue was silent as a grave

Sound Bamboo

An aged voice sounded behind them, and Nina and Vagrey turned around in surprise, only to discover that an old man dressed in a light golden magic robe had somehow arrived behind them.

Karachi shouted from the opposite side. He was in no hurry to launch an attack. As for the Sound Master, they had some understanding; as long as the melody had not progressed to the halfway point, the power of the Sound Master's music could not be unleashed. Given such a long time, even a water-based forbidden spell could have been completed.

With a wave of his right hand, a ring on his middle finger emitted a strong elemental glow. An orange light shield instantly expanded, blocking the four individuals in front of it. The crimson-level water arrows were completely repelled by the orange-level defense, producing a series of dense impact sounds.

The news of the Sound Element defeating the Water Element in the Freshman Competition quickly spread throughout the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy. The swift and straightforward conclusion of the battle left everyone astonished. Various discussions regarding the Sound Element began to circulate throughout the academy. Ye Yinzhu and the four beautiful contestants became the subjects of conversation, especially Ye Yinzhu's elemental shield and the Ocean's Zither released at the last moment, which became the focal point of the discussions

He must be stopped. It is not easy to have a divine sound system that could potentially replace the water system at the bottom, and he is unwilling to give up this opportunity. Instantaneous water arrows shot one after another towards Ye Yinzhu and the other three, some even aimed at the gaps between the four, targeting the ocean. Karaji thought that as long as they interrupted the zheng tune, they would surely win.

Karachi suppressed the jealousy in his heart and smiled, saying, "I wonder which competition format your department has chosen"

You ... ...

In the stands, Wagerly scoffed, "Can magical items completely withstand magic? Even with powerful magical items, a wizard can only exert a force one level higher than their own. The Water Sprite's Blessing staff from Karachi can reduce the chanting time of water magic by thirty percent. How can the little ones from the Sound System defend against that?"

The trial arena of the Divine Sound System is the auditorium where the new students previously took their tests, and it is evidently not suitable for competitions. Therefore, after determining the order of the matches through a draw, the only option left is to proceed to the trial arena of the Water System for the competition
