Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 79 Shi Bao x Xie Xinyue

The possibility of flying was something that many people dreamed, from the common person to the mages, but few were able to do that. Mages of the wind element could do this naturally when they got stronger, while mages of the other elements need to use magic equipment for this.

As a wind element mage, Liu Yang always dreamed of flying through the skies and without the help of magic equipment, he never tried to do that before because it required a great deal of magical energy to train. And as he couldn't waste his magical energy, Liu Yang never tried to do that before.

"Honey, can I try this already?" Liu Yang was curious about this, if Liu Xia confirmed this question, he would be happy to try it.

"Yes, as the amount of magical energy in our bodies is greater than before, I think you can do that now. But before that, we need to go home, it's safer to train there "

"It's all right. When the competition is over, I will try as hard as possible to learn to fly, so I can test some new things "Liu Yang spoke ambiguously.

"Perverted" Liu Xia commented on Liu Yang's words, she understood that he would try something perverted while flying.

…

In the arena, Xie Xinyue and Shi Bao were looking at each other solemnly, they both knew it would be an extremely difficult fight. One had two mutated elements, while the other had the curse.

The two sides had little information about the other, apart from the basic information, they knew nothing else. Since the two were advanced mages, they had at least three elements, Xie Xinyue already showed two while Shi Bao showed one.

"You can start" Shi Wu announced the start of the fight.

Xie Xinyue made the first move, she didn't want to let Shi Bao cast his curses. She waved her hand and a great wave of white fire began to spread around her, and a piercing cold was felt. The fire was not hot, but extremely cold.

Xie Xinyue's goal was to force Shi Bao to run into a corner, that would make things easier for her unless he used some type of defensive equipment to protect himself from the cold.

Shi Bao was serious when he saw her action, he stepped back a little to avoid being hit by the cold fire, he understood that the cold can hinder his movements.

The wave of fire began to spread across the arena slowly and gradually, Xie Xinyue had a large reserve of magical energy, but that doesn't mean she can use everything at once, she needed to control the amount used, even if her control is bad.

The arena was a total of fifteen square meters, Xie Xinyue has almost completely covered the area in front of her, the area behind it was still clean. Xie Xinyue focused only on the area in front of her because Shi Bao was there.

Shi Bao was running out of the escape, he would have nowhere else to run if this continued. A solemn look appeared on his face, he waved his hand and the wooden staff appeared, a dark aura began to be felt in the arena.

"Gather" Hundreds of particles of magical energy from the element of darkness began to emerge around Shi Bao's body before coming together in a large black sphere. This was not a spell, but a staff skill. The staff had the power to gather energy from the darkness and the mage could control it however he wanted. Shi Bao created a great sphere to cover the arena with darkness.

"Shadow Step" A dark light appeared and covered Shi Bao's body before he disappeared, this was the intermediate spell of the shadow element. This ability concealed the magician's presence completely and was much more discreet than the special effect of the element of darkness.

Xie Xinyue realized that her opponent disappeared and the sphere of dark energy above her head was completely covering the arena. Only the arena was covered in darkness while the stands were normal.

White flames began to circulate her body and formed a type of barrier that completely protected her body. Xie Xinyue didn't know was Shi Bao could attack, she was taking precautions.

At the same time, a red liquid started to spread around her body and take the place of the white flame, which was red water. Hellish heat began to be felt instead of the penetrating cold of before.

Xie Xinyue exchanged cold for heat because the damage caused was much greater and the red water had properties of burning, while the cold froze. She wanted to force Shi Bao to reveal himself.

The red water started to spread and cover the white flame, this time, Xie Xinyue released the red water behind her too, she had a plan in mind. The expansion proceeded slowly until it covered only half of the site before and more of the area behind it.

Closing her eyes and concentrating, red and blue lights appeared around Xie Xinyue's body, she began to gather magical power to cast her spell.

"Aquatic Eruption" Xie Xinyue spoke nonchalantly. The water started to rise in her body and formed a small volcano.

Booom !!!! Booom !!!

The volcano started to erupt, red water started to be expelled like lava. The entire arena was starting to turn red.

Xie Xinyue used the power of the volcano to spread red water faster across the arena. This made it difficult for Shi Bao to move. If he was hit by water, his Shadow Step will be canceled and he will appear again.

Every second, more and more lava was expelled from the small volcano, the arena was almost covered in red. The darkness of before turned into a sea of ​​red lava.

Despite efforts, Shi Bao has not yet appeared, and he has not yet been hit by red water. Sweat was already falling down Xie Xinyue's face like a waterfall, she used a lot of magic power and still couldn't find Shi Bao. If this situation continues, it will exhaust its magical power and lose the fight.

The arena was already completely covered with red water, but Shi Bao did not show up. Xie Xinyue finally realized there was something wrong and looked up.

The black sphere was still floating over the arena and had no sign of weakening, on the contrary, a strong magical power was being concentrated within.

Xie Xinyue realized her mistake and quickly ended the Water Eruption, made a basic mistake for not paying attention to the black sphere that Shi Bao created before, she thought it was just to create darkness in the arena.

A heavy breath could be heard, Xie Xinyue was already exhausted, she used about seventy percent of her magic power. She didn't know if she would be able to fight Shi Bao with just that small amount of magical power.

The black sphere began to shrink like a punctured ball. When it reached the size of a round balloon the size of a person, the sphere stopped shrinking. Shi Bao's figure appeared inside the sphere after it was opened.

"Dark Chains !!" Shi Bao shouted at that moment, dozens of chains appeared around the arena and flew towards Xie Xinyue.

"Curse: Weakening of the Mind"

"Cold Blast !!" Xie Xinyue countered with her spell she had prepared. The white flame turned into a fireball before it exploded quickly.

A penetrating cold was quickly spread around. The chains were frozen in the process and stopped in the air. But the curse was impossible to stop, Xie Xinyue suffered the curse.

The effect of Shi Bao's curse was the weakening of the mind, the mage's mind would be weak and would have great headaches for some time, during which time the mage would have difficulty casting spells or using his powers.

"You lost" Shi Bao spoke nonchalantly, it seemed that the victory was already guaranteed for him.

Xie Xinyue was trying to fight the curse, but it was useless, she couldn't get rid of the curse or resist. Her mind was not strong at the moment.

"I lost ..." Xie Xinyue admitted defeat, she understood that she couldn't do anything after being hit by the curse. She was disappointed with this event, if she had used her third element, she would have a chance to win, but she refused to do so for some reason.

"The winner of this fight is Shi Bao. The next fight will start in thirty minutes, "Shi Wu announced.

Shi Bao removed the curse from Xia Xinyue before storing his wooden staff and leaving the arena. Xie Xinyue left shortly after.

Despite the victory, Shi Bao was not satisfied with the result, he realized that Xie Xinyue still had a trump card to use, her third element, but she refused to use it. He did not know the reason for this and also did not have time to think about it, as the next fight will start later.

Shi Bao did not have time to think about other matters, he needed to meditate and concentrate to recover his energies before fighting Liu Yang.

(This will be the last fight, if I win, I will go to the third phase together with Liu Yang to decide which school will be the Champion of the High-Schools Competition. But if I lose, Liu Yang will automatically be considered the champion and the East School will be the winner ... I can't lose !!) Shi Bao had a brief thought before starting to meditate. He couldn't lose the next fight, especially for a level 6 novice mage, that would be extremely shameful for an advanced mage like him.
