Chapter 324: The Truth Hidden in Light and Darkness
In this world of professions, magic is not intangible.
You can truly feel and touch the trajectories, patterns, and flows of magic.
Over the long years, countless magical prophets have devoted themselves to the study of magic.
To this day, humanity's research on magic is extremely deep.
From elementary school to university.
Books on the analysis of magic have never ceased, and many conclusions from magical research have long been mature and widely recognized.
The book "Analysis and Countermeasures of Magic Circuits" mentioned by Ling Zhan happens to be a compulsory textbook for sophomores in high school.
Its author was a magical prophet who passed away countless years ago.
His contribution to today's magical research is enormous.
Moreover...
The fact that this book is a compulsory textbook in high schools worldwide naturally speaks to the prophet's prowess.
The main points this magical prophet raised in the book are 'analysis' and 'countermeasures'.
He first detailed the circuits and trajectories of all types of magic and classified existing magical skills into two very simple categories.
'Hand-off' and 'Non-hand-off'.
As the names suggest.
Hand-off magic is where the magical energy contained in the skill is completely independent of the caster once the skill is successfully cast.
Classic hand-off spells include: Fireball, Mute, Lightning Strike, etc.
These skills, once released, have no magical feedback to the caster.
Non-hand-off magic, on the other hand, still maintains a connection between the magical energy and the caster after being cast.
For instance: Summoner's summoning contracts, Puppeteer's string control, Necromancer's undead zombies, Mechanic's mechanical constructs, etc.
For these magical professions, in order to command 'them' after summoning, one must establish a 'magic circuit' with these summons.
Due to this mechanism.
Most magical professions, when facing similar professions, generally try to use 'hand-off' skills to fight.
Because the magic circuit wavelength of the same profession is consistent.
In other words, when two necromancers fight each other, the undead summoned by one can easily have their magic circuit cut and then connected by the other necromancer.
Achieving the effect of 'defection' of the undead.
This naturally tests both parties' understanding and control of magic circuits.
So many high school teachers repeatedly advise their students.
"When you are not confident in your magical attainments and control, do not use 'non-hand-off' skills against the same profession!"
And coincidentally...
Andy's 'Blood Control' and 'Blood Resonance' skills are 'non-hand-off'.
Ling Zhan had watched Andy's first match.
Carefully observing Andy's skill usage habits.
He mostly used 'Blood Control' and 'Blood Resonance' to easily kill his opponents.
Perhaps due to the repeated advice from high school teachers, as long as it's not the same profession, it's safe to use them boldly!
However...
The flaw that Ling Zhan showed when dodging the Blood Spirit Demon attack was actually intentional!
He even refrained from using the 'Real Doll' skill to ensure Andy wouldn't doubt his 100% hit on the target!
He forcibly endured the explosions of these two skills with his own physique!
Then...
Ling Zhan's arms shattered, blood gushing.
Because of this, Andy saw the dawn of victory and began to manipulate the blood in Ling Zhan's body without restraint.
Attempting to crush Ling Zhan's organs with blood to directly win.
Little did he know...
By doing so, he had ensured his defeat.
To be thorough.
Ling Zhan even had Yun Man preemptively engage in a destructive clash with the Blood Spirit Divine Bat.
Under the full-force collision of the two divine beasts, the stage shook and was almost destroyed, and all magical elements on site were in complete disarray.
Causing Andy to lose his vision instantly, and his keen magical senses became confused.
At this moment.
Ling Zhan, who had been suppressing his S-level secret realm talent 'Undying Body', finally released the restriction.
His broken arms regenerated instantly.
Then he decisively swung his staff, casting a beginner-level 'Blood Mage' skill, 'Blood Burst'.
As previously mentioned.
For the same magical professions, regardless of whether it's a high-level or low-level skill.
The magic circuit wavelengths are the same.
When Ling Zhan detonated the blood in his body.
His magic circuit overlapped with Andy's.
Caught off guard...
Andy's internal magic circuit was instantly invaded by Ling Zhan's magic.
He never expected a non-specialist to use blood magic with the same magic circuit as him!
Moreover...
He never expected this non-specialist's understanding and mastery of magic circuits to be so terrifying!!
Before Andy could show a victorious smile, his pale, handsome face was instantly filled with shock!
Because this non-specialist not only forcibly invaded his magic circuit but also cast a 'Blood Burst' skill inside him!
Pfft!!
As a fragile mage, he was severely injured on the spot!!
Even more terrifying...
The Blood Spirit Demon he summoned dissipated into the void under Ling Zhan's 'magic command', returning to the Blood God's fallen place!
The reason being that the Blood Spirit Demon received a command modified by Ling Zhan, sent through Andy's own magic circuit!
Naturally, it could only obediently return to the void!
The Blood Spirit Holy Dragon was trapped.
The Blood Spirit Divine Bat clashed with Yun Man.
The proud lifesaving skill 'Blood Spirit Demon' returned to the void.
His fragile body was severely injured.
The most important was that his blood was continuously being detonated!
Even the 'Blood Domain' he initially set up dissipated in an instant.
Before dying, Andy showed a desperate, bitter smile.
Perhaps...
He never dreamed that the final deciding factor would be the 'Magic Circuit Theory' his high school teacher often nagged about.
Next, Ling Zhan killed Andy with the 'Blood Burst' skill in less than half a second.
The Blood Spirit Divine Bat sensed the death of its contractor at that moment.
She turned around in shock.
The result...
Pfft!!
A terrifyingly powerful hand knife pierced through her head.
The domineering black flames attached to the hand knife not only suppressed the Blood Spirit Divine Bat's lifesaving passive talent but also completely cut off her vitality.
The mighty divine beast fell on the spot without even having time to reveal its true form.
A few seconds later.
The disaster of light and darkness collision dissipated.
Everyone saw Ling Zhan, covered in blood like a demon god, holding the two corpses of his opponents as if holding two dead chickens.
This is the truth hidden in the collision of light and darkness.
