When everyone saw that the real badge was in the hands of an insignificant unknown guy, they couldn't contain their excitement.
At this time, there was only more than a minute left until the end of the competition. Many students did not hesitate and immediately cast spells at Bai Ze.
Among the seven or eight people charging towards Bai Ze, there were also two fourth ring mages, Lin Xi and Lingquan. In an instant, Bai Ze felt unprecedented pressure.
Although the students knew their limits and wouldn't cause serious injuries, if Bai Ze was hit by so many spells at the same time, even if he didn't die, he would still be crippled.
He immediately deployed the Storm Thunder Flash and formed six icicles in front of him.
The colorful spells were dazzling and condensed into flowers of death. However, Bai Ze's speed was blazingly fast, and he evaded most of the attacks in the blink of an eye.
Nonetheless, the attacks from the two fourth ring mages were not so easy to dodge. Even though Bai Ze launched six icicles to counter them, he was still hit.
Large cracks began appearing on his Ice Crystal Armor, and he was forced back four to five steps by the impact of the immense magic power.
"Indeed, it's really too much for me to take on the attacks of two fourth ring mages simultaneously."
Bai Ze said with a bitter smile as he rubbed his painfully throbbing chest.
"You're Bai Ze, right? If you're smart, quickly hand over your badge. You'll only be asking for trouble if you continue to hold on!"
Lin Xi's figure fluttered with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, she was standing in front of Bai Ze.
A few experts in school from the surrounding area all stepped forward one after another, afraid of missing out on the right opportunity.
In the face of everyone's coercion, Bai Ze simply gave a scornful laugh. "Really? If you want the badge, then come and get it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately deployed the Storm Thunder Flash. His figure instantly left a long trail of afterimages, and in the next instant, he reappeared on the stairs of the rooftop.
Right now, it wasn't just the eight people in front of him. The rest of the people had also gone up to the rooftop.
Seeing that Bai Ze still refused to hand over his badge, the people around him became anxious and deployed their strongest rules.
More than a dozen people cast spells at the same time, and the surrounding atmosphere became distorted by the pressure of the magic.
In the next instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky as gusts of wind and flames intertwined, sweeping toward Bai Ze like a catastrophe.
"I won't keep you guys company anymore. Farewell!"
Bai Ze leaned back abruptly, and his body immediately dropped down.
The crowd ran after him without hesitation, but they were surprised to find that Bai Ze had activated the Icicle Technique in mid-air, nailed them to the wall, and then cast another spell to allow himself to drop to the ground unscathed.
His speed was so fast that among the many students, only the two fourth ring mages, Lin Xi and Ling Quan, could keep up with him.
Although the others were strong, they were not good at speed-type magic spells. They were only at the Familiar level at most.
Even if they desperately stimulated their magic power, they were still not as fast as Bai Ze.
"Golden Wing Stab!"
Seeing that Bai Ze was running further and further away with the badge, Ling Quan, who was not fast enough, immediately deployed his most powerful rule.
In the next second, dozens of golden needles shimmering with steely cold light condensed around him and immediately shot towards Bai Ze.
Sensing the strong aura of magic, Bai Ze knew without looking back that one of the fourth ring mages had launched a strike. He did not dare to be careless. At the same time as he activated Storm Thunder Flash at full speed, he condensed the Ice Crystal Armor around his body into a thicker layer.
He was fully prepared to intercept the other party's blow.
There were two fourth ring mages pursuing him. If Bai Ze stopped, he would inevitably be sandwiched between the two fourth ring mages and attacked mercilessly.
And it was obviously not a wise move to give up his speed advantage to compete with the two in magic power.
Even if he possessed the almighty power of the Magic Surge, it was impossible for him to fight against two people at once.
When his defense was ready, he heard the sound of wind breaking. It was obvious that the opponent's killing move had arrived!
Ding… Ding! Ding!
Ling Quan's Golden Wing Stab, formed by his magic power, hit the Ice Crystal Armor like a raging thunderstorm.
In the face of such a relentless attack, the Ice Crystal Armor could not completely block all the strikes. After taking more than a dozen hits, it quickly crumbled.
However, Bai Ze had already expected this, and he swiftly condensed a new armor before the old one fell apart.
The rapid casting of spells was possible thanks to the powerful Magic Surge.
Magic Surge allowed him to direct his magic power freely and effortlessly. Although the magic power in his body had been depleted a lot in the previous battle, it was still plentiful after being replenished.
After a few seconds, Bai Ze flawlessly neutralized Ling Quan's attack and still maintained his super high speed.
When Storm Thunder Flash was cultivated to the Mastery level, the interval between each deployment had been shortened to one second.
Unless his opponent had cultivated a speed rule that was above B-class, it would be very tough to catch up to him.
Ling Quan, who was far away, saw that his attack was easily neutralized by his opponent. He couldn't help feeling angry and helpless.
Seeing that his opponent was getting further and further away, he could only stop in a hurry.
He clenched his fists and glared at his opponent's back profile with a resentful expression.
"Bai Ze ... I will never let you off the next time we meet!" he cursed out loud.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly rang in his ears.
When he looked up, he was surprised to find that the array formation in the sky above the school premises was vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This meant that… the competition had ended!
Right to the final second of the competition, Lin Xi still couldn't find a chance to attack Bai Ze. She looked very lost and stared at Bai Ze with a meaningful gaze.
The teachers watching the battle also dropped in from all corners and looked at Bai Ze with approval.
In the earlier battle royale, the ability Bai Ze displayed was far beyond the other students. He was also quite experienced in actual combat, and he knew that he should use his own strengths to overcome his opponent's weaknesses.
It was because of these strengths and capabilities that he was able to keep his badge in the final siege.
Seeing that his teachers had all arrived, Bai Ze finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he was being chased by those two fourth ring mages.
Now that he had won the championship, he felt a sense of pride.
However, like all competitions, there was one happy winner but countless unhappy losers.
For the two fourth ring mages, losing the qualification was undoubtedly a painful reality.
However, the one who was the most devastated was Liang Rou, who was standing by the window of the planetarium and observing the situation below.
Not only was her plan ruined by Bai Ze, but he also drank ten bottles of potions that her family had spent a big sum of money to procure. What devastated her the most was that under the siege of dozens of people, Bai Ze could still manage to keep the badge and obtain the only qualification spot.
She couldn't suppress the despair in her heart. In the end, she could only cover her face and cry piteously.
Half an hour later.
Bai Ze took the admission letter and appeared on the stage that had been erected in the school square.
The crowd below the stage was unexpectedly quiet.
The students looked at Bai Ze on the stage, their expressions full of astonishment.
They were wondering if the school had made a mistake. In this kind of group battle that could not tolerate any slip-ups, other than the few fourth ring mages who could win the first place, surely, at the very least, the winner should be an expert at the peak of the third ring.
