Mutual slaughter

  Without paying attention to Solomon, Xiaoming calmly took out a bottle of magic replenishment potion from the secret silver ring and drank it.

  With the Eternal Tome in hand, Xia Ming was equivalent to a master pharmacist, and refining a few bottles of magic power supplements was not a difficult task.

  Seeing Xiaoming also drinking the magic replenishment potion, most of the freshmen who were watching on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief - this kid wasn't a magical beast after all, although he was abnormal, he still needed to replenish his magic.

  "Hah, now you know fear? Useless, I'll let you experience what's called despair!" Solomon said in a cold voice, strolling up.

  Xia Ming smiled lightly and shook his head, saying: "Make me despair? You're still a bit short." He was indeed only a fourth-level magician, but he had his own plans in mind and wasn't afraid of Solomon at all.

  Solomon's face was as gloomy as water: "You're still stubborn even when death is approaching, soon you'll be begging me for mercy. Who knows, if I'm in a good mood, I might go easy on you and let you off the hook!"

  Solomon raised his staff, and the gemstone on it radiated a brilliant light. The magical elemental spirits surged out, causing the pressure around them to increase dramatically. The dense magical power was so strong that even Xiaoming, who was over ten meters away, could easily sense it.

  "It's no wonder he's from a family of magic, the foundation of his magic inheritance is very solid, and his use of magic is just right, without any waste!" Black Mamba nodded to himself, with his discerning eye, he could naturally see Solomon's unique qualities, even among fifth-level magicians, Solomon was good enough to enter the inner circle.

  Xia Ming's face also became a bit more serious, but his eyes remained calm, Anthony's strict teachings had instilled this good habit in him.

  Two people confronted each other, and a terrifying magic floated and fluctuated in mid-air.

  The freshmen held their breath, eyes wide with excitement, afraid to miss a single detail, their gaze filled with infinite expectation - this was the ultimate showdown among the crème de la crème of newcomers!

  "Earth Spear!"

  Obscure syllables were recited from Solomon's mouth, he took the lead and cast a fourth-level earth-based spell at once.

  In the empty air of over ten meters high, four conical sharp thorns suddenly appeared, like long guns rumbling loudly, emitting a deafening sound that seemed to tear through the air, so sharp that people only wanted to cover their ears.

  Xia Ming was well-prepared and reacted immediately after Solomon spoke the first syllable. The tip of the Flame Rod suddenly emitted a flame, and the "Flame Guardian" was almost completed in just a few breaths. It was also a fourth-level magic, but Xia Ming had finished it before anyone else, completing it first!

  Almost the moment Xiaming's shield magic was completed, four sharp cones of earth spears arrived, crashing down with a deafening explosion-like sound, heavily striking the firewall formed by Flame Guardian. The air around seemed to be in a frenzy, and the magic also shook accordingly.

  Boom!

  The continuous impact of the four giant spears of the earth was like the giant lizard revealing its sharp poisonous fangs, shattering Xiaoming's magic shield! However, after breaking through the defensive flames, the earth spear also became weak and the magical elements dissipated.

  A perfect match!

  As they gazed at the two 4th-tier spells dissipating simultaneously, this thought emerged among the freshmen.

  "No, on the surface it seems like a tie, but in reality that mysterious kid won!" Hei Manba and some of the keen-eyed individuals noticed the difference. On the surface, it seemed like both magics dissipated simultaneously, but Xiaoming's magic was actually faster! Both were 4th-level magics, but Xiaoming's incantation speed was much faster than Solomon's!

  Solomon also realized this problem, his face sank, and the corner of his mouth coldly smiled: "Hmph, not bad recitation speed, if you were a 5th level magician I might still be wary of you, but now..."

  "Is that so? Then I'll be waiting with bated breath." Solomon's anger surged up at Xia Ming's calm expression, and he couldn't help but want to defeat him immediately and make him kneel down and beg for mercy.

  "Xia Ming, you're looking for death!" Solomon roared, releasing his magic, bursting out, and the powerful momentum made the newcomers tremble.

  "It turned out that the mysterious young man was called Xia Ming..."

  "Xia Ming, what a strange name." Many freshmen secretly remembered Xia Ming's name.

  Solomon sneered and swung his staff again, this time chanting an obscure and lengthy incantation, apparently a fifth-level spell!

  Xia Ming's pupils contracted, and even a fifth-level magic spell posed a great threat to him. He rapidly recited the incantation from his mouth, pointed with his staff, and the fourth-level magic spell "Earth Trap" was already prepared.

  Almost everyone present realized the incredible speed of Xia Ming's incantation, and they were all shocked: "Such a fast incantation speed, is this really the incantation speed that a 4th-level magician can achieve?!"

  The next moment, the ground beneath Solomon cracked open in blocks, with Solomon as the center. The earth collapsed instantly, as if thousands of horses were galloping, violently shaking, and the ground within a radius of ten meters was overturned.

  Solomon was slightly caught off guard and hastily cancelled the previous spell release, instead releasing a third-level defensive magic 【Water Spirit Shield】.

  But how can third-level magic withstand Xiaoming's fourth-level magic!

  Bang!

  A loud explosion sounded, the power of the [land trap] finally dissipated, and Solomon's figure was vaguely visible in the dust. He stumbled backward for over a dozen steps, his robes tattered with several large holes, his head covered in dust, his face pale, looking utterly disheveled.

  There was a commotion everywhere, with cries of surprise one after another.

  "Damn, I'm not seeing things, am I? Xia Ming is actually taking the upper hand!"

  "Can a 4th-level magician and a 5th-level magician fight and still gain an advantage?!"

  Actually, the newborns were somewhat misunderstood. Xiaoming's attack this time was just unexpected and did not hurt Solomon's vitality, but only broke his attack this time.

  Solomon's face was venomous as he glared at Xiaoming: "You..." Solomon's staff swung, and the speed of his incantation also suddenly accelerated. Under Xiaoming's pressure, he actually forced out his potential!

  "Abyssal Bone Spike!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Solomon seemed to have unleashed all his potential. In a short span of time, the incantation of this fifth-level magic was nearing its end. Xiaoming attempted to intervene with low-level magic as well, but was dodged by the prepared Solomon.

  Xia Ming had already felt the terror of Solomon's fifth-level magic, and the immense pressure formed a magical barrier around him. Xia Ming secretly frowned, Solomon was indeed an opponent not to be underestimated.

  In the void, a deafening explosion sounded again, and on Xiaoming's head, a large area of high altitude was shrouded in dozens of sharp bone spurs, each about 5-6 meters long, like steel needles densely packed together, with an extremely powerful momentum that could not be completely resisted by [Flame Guardian]!

  Xia Ming finally felt a hint of heavy pressure, the gap between their levels was after all a chasm that stood in front of them, difficult to cross.

  "Roar of the Fire God!"

  At this critical moment, Xia Ming suddenly used the Fire God's Roar, a third-level magic spell. Many people furrowed their brows, wondering what Xia Ming was trying to do. Was he actually thinking of using a third-level magic spell to counter a fifth-level magic spell?

  Some of Xiaoming's supporters have already closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of his miserable defeat...

  Solomon sneered, as if he had seen a scene where Deep Sea Bone Spur thoroughly defeated Xia Ming...

  Hei Manba also furrowed his brow, with a surge of energy ready to rescue Xia Ming at any moment. The battle was intense, and if anyone were to lose their life, it would be unacceptable.

  The next second, more than ten bone spurs came crashing down!
