To Lin Li, a short moment seemed as long as centuries. Whispers kept echoing in his ears, like whispers in the night and like soft calls. The endless darkness gradually disappeared and was replaced.
What appeared was a colorful halo, as if countless colors were suddenly filled in between black and white, making the whole world come alive in an instant.
Lin Li's weak mental power swam cautiously in this colorful world.
What he needs now is a breakthrough, even if it is just the smallest gap. As long as this trace of his spiritual power can penetrate, he will have the confidence to leave his mark on it and completely master this strange heart.
Crystal, just like gaining control of the Mark of Dawn.
But the process was far more difficult than Lin Li imagined. The entire colorful world seemed to be protected by some kind of power. As soon as the mental power came close, it would be immediately bounced away, leaving no gaps at all.
, there is no loophole to be found, just like a round sphere, there is absolutely no place that can be exploited.
Time passes minute by minute...
Lin Li's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. He knew that he didn't have much time. If he continued to delay like this, the only thing waiting for him would be a complete loss of mental power and eventually death from exhaustion. Lin Li even felt that
Here we are, the rate of loss of spiritual power in our body is getting faster and faster, like a surging torrent, constantly flowing into that strange crystal...
In the end, Lin Li even despaired.
There was no room for struggle at all, the only thing he could do was wait for death to come.
"Which bastard is so wicked that he actually hid a crystal in the Nightmare Mountains to harm people..." The crazy loss of mental power made Lin Li's mind weak to the limit. His mind was so groggy that the only thought he could bring up was,
I can only curse the bastard who put the crystal in the cave to harm people.
"I'll fight with you!" The situation has become worse than ever. It's pointless to look for loopholes at this time. In the last moment of losing his mind, Lin Li finally gritted his teeth and said,
Regardless of what power protected this colorful world, and regardless of how much harm this loss of depth would cause to himself, he made a decision almost in an instant.
Lin Li completely gave up control of his mental powers and allowed them to surge into the crystal. At the same time, he continued to activate the magic power, allowing them to impact this colorful world again and again.
This is a decision that is almost courting death...
Either break through a gap or die in Dawn Square.
Mental power and magic power surged out at the same time, and Lin Li's face suddenly turned pale. It felt as if all his flesh and blood had been drained away, leaving only an empty body. His whole body was so weak that he could not lift up any strength, and his brain
It was completely empty, except for the trace of spiritual power released at the beginning, I could no longer feel the existence of anything...
Then he suddenly discovered that there was a gap in this colorful world!
"We can be saved!" To Lin Li, the appearance of this glitch was like a glimmer of light suddenly appearing in a dark night. Without any hesitation, he directly controlled the remaining mental power towards that glimmer of light.
Go through the gap...
Then, there was a loud "boom"...
In the groggy state, Lin Li felt as if the whole world had collapsed. The colorful light in front of him seemed to have broken into countless fragments in an instant. In the dark red light, seven-colored fragments were flying all over the sky.
It looked more gorgeous than the fireworks in the night sky, but then, Lin Li discovered that the countless seven-color fragments seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. Sometimes they scattered in all directions, sometimes they gathered together, and finally turned into a stream of seven-color light.
It suddenly came into my mind.
At that moment, Lin Li seemed to see a figure from behind.
It was a skinny figure wearing a black robe. He stood quietly in this seven-color stream of light, but he seemed unusually harmonious. What frightened Lin Li the most was that the aura emanating from him was actually the same as Gala.
The black mist released was the same. Under the sudden change, Lin Li was about to release a bit of mental energy to find out what happened, but suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance.
"Immortal King, you will use your bones as a scepter to be crowned king again!"
Then, all of this suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the seven-color stream of light in the sky, flooding into my mind in an instant...
The stream of light composed of countless seven-color fragments was deeply buried in the depths of memory the moment it poured into his mind. Lin Li suddenly realized that these must be the memory fragments of a certain creature, but these memories seemed to be
As if they have been torn apart, they are disorganized and fragmented, maybe a sound, maybe a picture, maybe just a feeling.
The moment they poured in, Lin Li tried to decipher useful information from them, but he soon discovered that this was in vain. These memory fragments were too messy and had nothing to do with each other.
If we can decipher useful information here, it would be more realistic to expect Anduin to suddenly become the Potion Master...
Lin Li filtered through these countless memory fragments one by one, and the only gain was to learn from them that in the dark ages more than a thousand years ago, there was indeed a powerful being known as the "Immortal King".
It's just that we can no longer find any clues from the memory fragments about the origin of this "Immortal King" and what he did in the dark ages...
In the end, Lin Li had to give up.
When he came back to his senses, everything in front of him had disappeared. Whether it was the colorful world or the thick black mist, they all disappeared without a trace after the accident. At this time, Lin Li had already
After regaining control of his body, he looked down at himself. He was still holding the Sky Staff in his hand, and he was still wearing the rune robe. The only difference was that one of his right hands was holding it tightly.
Holding the dark red crystal, the strange light is flowing out from between the fingers...
"I'm lucky that I didn't lose my life here..." Recalling the thrilling battle before, Lin Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The situation just now was so bad that it couldn't be worse, no matter how lucky he was.
He almost couldn't escape the fate of death from exhaustion.
This kind of pure spiritual battle is always the most dangerous. Although Lin Li never used magic from the beginning to the end, the danger is far higher than that of a real battle with real swords and guns.
The complete destruction of the soul, leaving not even a trace of the mark on the soul. This method of death is definitely the most complete, and there is no possibility of treatment.
Lin Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that the Dawn Square was eerily quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on him in unison, as if they were not seeing a trial apprentice.
It's like a monster that walks on two legs...
"What's going on?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly murmur, did he do something amazing when the black fog filled the air just now? No, no, since the black fog filled the air, even if he
They probably couldn't see what you did, right?
Then……
Lin Li suddenly saw that his opponent, the Gala magician from Yuanwang City, was kneeling on the ground, holding the staff in both hands and raising it high above his head, with an expression full of piety and awe. At this time, Gala,
He doesn't look like an opponent who wants to kill him at all, but rather like his most devout believer.
"The great immortal king welcomes you back to the earth!"
Gala's voice was still as hoarse and low as ever. No one in the huge Dawn Square except Lin Li could hear clearly what he was saying, but the posture of kneeling on one knee instantly made people in the audience
It caused a commotion, and the voices of thousands of magicians talking about it suddenly caused the entire Dawn Square to become chaotic. Everyone was guessing what happened in the black mist earlier, and why Gala, who was about to win, was alone.
Kneel down, why was that Garros magician not swallowed up by the black mist?
One reason after another came out of my mind one after another, but there was no answer to all of them, because in the next moment, a burst of black mist suddenly rose from the body, and it seemed as if it had a life of its own.
As soon as it rose from Gala's body, it began to change into various shapes, sometimes spreading out and sometimes gathering together. Finally, amid a burst of shrill laughter like a night owl, it turned into a line of black smoke and flew into the distance...
…
"What on earth is the Immortal King!" Lin Li stood in Dawn Square, staring blankly at the black smoke disappearing, feeling indescribably irritated because just before the black smoke left, Lin Li heard another person
The voice came from my mind, it was also low and hoarse, and it was also incomprehensible - Great Immortal King, you will eventually wake up among the bones...
"Wake up, you big watermelon..." Lin Li cursed angrily. This kind of appetizing behavior is simply the most annoying thing. It makes you feel itchy, but he doesn't tell you what's going on...
etc……
Just in the middle of the sentence, Lin Li was stunned again.
He suddenly remembered that the direction in which the black smoke disappeared just now was the road to Shadow Valley?
Could it be that all this is because of the trial more than a month ago?
The more Lin Li thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He had personally experienced the power of death in the black mist just now. To put it more exaggeratedly, even if it were a person of Anduin's level, he would probably not be better than himself.
How much, that is simply not a force that humans can contend with, especially the mental confrontation that followed, which made Lin Liguang feel cold sweat just thinking about it. How could Lin Li not know what his mental power was like? But
When the crystal was extracted, Lin Li felt like an ant tied to a spider's web. There was no room for struggle. He could only watch as he approached death step by step...
Thinking of everything that happened in the black mist, Lin Li suddenly felt that the crystal in his hand seemed a little hot...
"Who wins this?" Two referees stood far away. You looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't tell the reason for a long time. Logically speaking, this game should be Garros Magic.
The teacher won because he was still standing while his opponent had fallen.
But there is a problem...
There were too many accidents in this game, so many that it was impossible to tell who was winning and who was losing. Not only did Medellin forcefully rush into the playing field, but in the end even Odwin took action himself. This was blatant.
Interfering with the progress of the competition, if we had to enforce the rules, would have already disqualified someone ten times and expelled the two accomplices from Dawn Square...
Of course, this is just a hypothetical...
Even if they were given a hundred courages, they would not dare to drive those two accomplices out of Dawn Square.
"How about we just call it a draw?" The young referee hesitated for a long time, and finally hesitantly expressed his thoughts.
"Tie is a big watermelon!" Although Medellin is a lot older, his ears are still good. He was knocked away by the black mist just now. He just got up from the ground, but unexpectedly heard this guy suggesting a tie, and he immediately became angry.
Let’s start from one point: “This can also be considered a tie. How do you two act as referees? Feyre is standing and Gala is lying down. You can’t understand such an obvious relationship between victory and defeat? You really are my apprentice in the trial.
Is it easy to bully?”
"No, no, no... Mr. Medellin, you misunderstood, please listen to my explanation first..." What kind of temper Medellin has is already known to everyone in the Magic Guild. Except for Aldwin,
No one dared to mess with him anymore. Although the two referees had the power to decide the outcome of the game, they still chose to shut up in front of this uncle.
"What's the explanation?" The old man stared, and shamelessly stretched out his hand, pointing at Gala who was lying on the ground: "It's okay to call it a tie, but it has to be a rematch. If you can wake him up,
, I will admit that this game is a draw and let Feyre fight him again, but you'd better hurry up, I don't have the patience..."
When he said the last sentence, it was already a naked threat.
"This..." Looking at Medellin with a fierce look on his face, who dared to touch him at this time? The two referees only took less than ten seconds to make a decision.
"Okay, then the winner of this game is the Ferre Magician from Garros!"
…………
All the final six were eliminated. Medellin could be said to have earned enough face this time. Two of his three trial apprentices entered the top six, and one of them even had hope of winning the final victory. This was an extremely brilliant event.
The achievement made the old man feel extremely happy, and even the number of times he educated Ma Sen was significantly reduced.
After the lottery results came out, Medellin almost jumped up. He patted Lin Li on the shoulder with a look of joy: "Feire, you finally got lucky!"
"Ah?" Lin Li was recalling everything that happened in the black fog, but he was suddenly slapped by someone. He was frightened for most of his life. When he saw clearly that the person who slapped him was Medellin, he slowly relaxed.
He said with a look of helplessness: "Sir, Mr. Medellin, don't you know that scaring people will scare them to death?"
"It's so scary..."
"Forget it..." Lin Li shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face. He knew that he would not be able to explain clearly to this old man, so he quickly changed the subject: "You seemed to have said that I was lucky just now?"
"That's right!" Medellin stretched out a hand and pointed quietly into the distance: "See, that guy is your opponent in the next round..."
"This guy seems to be a stranger. What, do you know where he comes from?" Lin Li frowned. The young magician in the distance looked to be in his twenties and was thin and small.
It's like being born with malnutrition. His face looks a little pale and his eyes are a little swollen. I don't know if he didn't sleep well last night...
"His name is Gordon. He comes from the Burning Willow City Magic Guild. His strength is not very weak. It is said that he is close to level 14, but this guy is quite unlucky..." When Medellin said this, he smiled obscenely.
Laughing: "Hey, he also met a level 14 magician in the last match. The two fought for half an hour. In the end, he seemed to have used a level 15 magic forcibly, both in terms of mental power and magic power.
It’s been seriously overdrawn and I won’t be able to recover for three to five days. If you go up now, you’re just getting a free advantage..."
"That's not bad..." Lin Li also smiled.
"Holy shit!" At this moment, Ma Sen suddenly exclaimed: "Why am I so unlucky?"
"What's wrong?"
"Look..." Mason pointed to the distance with a look of sorrow and anger. Aldwin was holding two pieces of paper, one with Mason's name written on it, and the other with -
—Gryffindor!
"..."
"Now Gryffindor is like a beast, how can I defeat him? It's over, it's over, I originally wanted to enter the last three, but now it's all gone. President Aldwin really didn't know it before the draw.
"Would you like to wash your hands first?" After Ma Sen cursed and complained, he looked at Lin Li pitifully: "Fei Lei, don't you have a lot of potions? Do you have the kind of potion that after drinking it, I can defeat the big devil?"
The guide’s potion?”
"..." Lin Li suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He held it there for a long time before finally squeezing out one word from his mouth: "Yes!"
"real?"
"Yes, but this medicine is very troublesome. After drinking it, there will be some minor side effects..."
"What side effects?"
"After defeating the Great Mage, you yourself will die..."
"I……"
While the two were talking, the drawing of the top six had been completed. Lin Li was lucky enough to get a weak thirteenth-level magician, while Mathias was a little worse. His opponent was the real deal.
A fourteenth-level mage, but for Mathias, this shouldn't be too difficult.
The most unlucky one was naturally Mason. He was actually drawn with Gryffindor. Thinking of this guy's beastly strength, Mason couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The referee hadn't announced the start of the third round yet.
, this guy has already secretly figured out how to lose more decently...
"By the way, Feyre!" Lin Li was making suggestions to the Masons when he suddenly heard Medellin's voice coming from behind: "Gara is awake."
"Really?" Lin Li immediately became energetic. He didn't even bother to discuss with Ma Sen how to lose more honorably. He hurriedly pulled Medellin aside: "Have he ever said that?
What’s going on with the black fog?”
"He said he didn't know..."
"Then has he ever said why he has such a powerful death power?"
"He still said he didn't know..."
"Why doesn't he know anything?" Lin Li was really confused. This Gala was just fooling around. He released such a powerful death force and almost killed himself. When he woke up, he didn't know anything. He was
Didn't you come here to play with me on purpose?
"No way, he said he forgot everything..."
"Why doesn't he die..."
"No, no, no, I think he really forgot..." Medellin shook his head and then continued: "Because before he woke up, I used magic detection to observe him, and he
The power of death in his body has completely disappeared. Now he is just an ordinary level 14 mage. He may be slightly stronger than Sarson, but he will never be strong enough to kill you..."
"You mean, that power is not possessed by Gala itself?"
"kindness."
"Damn it!" Lin Li simply wanted to kill someone. Such a weird thing happened to him, but even the last clue was cut off. The whole thing became a headless case. He wanted to figure out what happened to him.
What did he say? Do you really want to wake up among some bones like that voice said? It’s not like I’m full...
"If I'm not wrong, this matter is probably related to the two undead monarchs in the Valley of Shadows. Gala just said that on the fifth day after entering the Valley of Shadows, he met a
The extremely powerful undead creature completely lost its memory after that, and it was only now that it regained its consciousness..." When Medellin said this, there was a look of fear on his face, Shadow Valley
The two undead monarchs in there are strong men who have existed since the dark ages. No one knows how strong they are now, let alone Medellin, an eighteenth-level magician. I am afraid even Fran
Aldwin, the first magician, has no confidence to face them...
When Lin Li heard this, he took a deep breath and looked at Medellin with a look of disbelief: "Are you trying to tell me that the person who competed with me just now was actually not Gala, but a person who was beaten?"
A puppet controlled by the undead monarch, right?"
