Pung! The rock broke the shield and hit her shoulder. Her dress tore off at the point of contact and under the ripped dress a fresh scar formed. Blood slowly started to come out of the scar. Seeing the blood she placed her hand on the scar and froze the wound. Seeing her actions everyone was stunned.
"Did she just froze her wound?"
"Is that even possible?"
"I have never seen such a thing before!"
Were the whispers from the crowd. After freezing her shoulder she pulled one of her long hair and froze it like a straight rod of ice. The ice rod is longer than half of her body length. Though it's made of ice one should not underestimate its resilience. Seeing that she is making preparations to attack he start to sprint ahead in hopes of getting in close proximity. As she was wounded it would be better to take a physical fight rather than relying on elemental magic.
Seeing that the other party is going to advance for a physical fight, she released her aura and stomped her foot. Svuhhhhh….. the entire stage gets frozen solid. The chill was so hard that even people under the stage felt their hands getting numb due to the chill. Due to the sudden change on the stage, he lost his grip as the ice is slippery. With a dull thud he felon the floor and drifted to the foot of Aarvi. She simply kept her ice rod on his neck with a mocking smile.
In the beginning, Aarvi wasn't sure whether she should use the ice road which would be considered as a weapon. Since the other party used the stone as a weapon to attack her she couldn't bother any less any more. To create an ice rod she needed material to conduct both spiritual energy and magic energy. If the substance can't support her energies, though she created an ice rod out of it, it would be nothing more than a normal ice rod. If the weapon isn't resilient then it won't be much use to her in battle. hence she decided to use her hair instead which is part of her that could conduct both physical and elemental energy.
Seeing her quick thinking ability and battle skills everyone is in awe for her. Soon the bell rang and she won yet another round all be it with a little scar on her shoulder. As her hair is part of her and the ice is elemental magic judges didn't bother to question her…
..
..the fights went on and she managed to defeat all the nineteen students and the only one remaining was Mu Fung. At this point, though she was unable to defeat him nothing could change that she is stronger that all of them combined and the most eligible candidate to join the academy.
The fights that she had till now were mostly physical as she wants to save her magic energy for the last person. Though she was rejected to participate in the test, she had seen all the tests that were conducted a day ago for selections. There she witnessed the strength of the son of city lord who is Mu Fung. Though he isn't as strong as her it would be hard to deal with him as he isn't too far from her strength. If she is in her prime she would be more than confident to achieve a victory but in the present situation, she had already fought nineteen battles and sustained few injuries and used up more than half or her magic energy.
With a single look, any one could say that its completely unfair fight and odds were against her. Watching all her nineteen fights, the entire crowd had already become admirers while few even wanted to pursue her. The bell rang and Mu Fung entered the stage.
Aarvi stood proudly with an extremely smooth yet resilient ice rod in her hand. Mu Fung eyes were red after watching her dominating the opponents before and insulting her father by spoiling his event. Right from the start, he had only one thing in his mind and that is to beat the hell out of her.
As soon as he entered the stage he released his aura of chi refinement level ten and stomped his foot and lifter his hand like he is carrying something and made a hand seal. As soon as he completed the entire stage started to crumble, with a slight frown she released her aura as well the stage got divided into two parts and the part Aarvi stood was frozen solid and the stage that Mu Fung stood rose up in height a little and the previously frozen stage was now a rock that looks like a granite stone. With a single move, he easily made his footing clear which the previous contestants were unable to do.
With a stomp of his feat, a huge chunk of the stage rose up into the air. He leapt off of the stage and hit the huge chunk in the direction of Aarvi. Facing such a huge chunk she just stood on the ice rod she made previously and jumped into the air. The chunk of stage fall on the place where she was before. While she is still in the air she pulled another strand of her hair and thrown it towards Mu Fung who is still in the air. Seeing a needle-like ice rod coming towards him like a spear he formed a hand seal. Another huge chunk appeared right in front of him.
Pung! The ice rod hit the rock and pierced it till half of it was in it. The huge chunk of rock fall to the ground and broke into two pieces. Everyone was astounded by the might of both of them. As the way it looked like both of them just made a single move on each other it was actually a huge loss to Mu Fung. Spiritual energy is an easy come easy go energy. While one can absorb spiritual energy easily from surroundings, elemental magic energy needs to be refined and converted in the once body. Hence it takes time to convert spiritual energy into magic energy.
While he used a huge amount of his magic energy to lift the first chunk of rock from the stage Aarvi just evaded it using her spiritual and physical energy. While she is in the air she used a little amount of her magic energy to convert the hair into ice road and infused her spiritual energy to make it strong and resilient as a spear and thrown it towards him. as he can't use his spiritual energy or his body to take attack nor he can move in any other direction as he was still in the air. He used another huge reserve of his magic energy to pull another huge chunk of rock. Which means he is running low in magic energy. With this single move, she made him use half of his magic energy equalling the situation.
