Breakthrough 33
All newborns almost stared blankly at a dozen or so long and sharp bone spurs that pierced down like nails!
At the same time, Xia Ming's 【Roar of the Fire God】 was also ready to be unleashed. The roaring flames shot towards the bone spurs in the sky, and the light from the flames dyed half the sky red.
Solomon sneered coldly: "Hmph, think you can counter my Deep Abyss Bone Spike with just a third-level magic? You're simply overestimating yourself!"
However, a calm smile appeared on Xia Ming's face. The roar of the fire god struck the Deep Abyss Bone Spikes in the direction pointed by Xia Ming's staff!
Xia Ming's body suddenly shifted slightly to one side with a nimble movement.
Solomon's self-satisfied smile froze, never expecting that the Deep Abyss Bone Spike would actually be deflected by Xiaoming's third-level magic, and Xiaoming also managed to dodge the most critical spot, avoiding a complete defeat!
Xia Ming had thought of this from the start. A direct confrontation wouldn't work, but cleverly changing Solomon's magic direction was possible.
"Magic can also be used like this..."
"How clever! Truly impressive!" The freshmen were all amazed, having only seen the third-level magic change the direction of the fifth-level magic's rotation. It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do, requiring such precise control over one's spiritual power and magical energy!
The fatal points of the Deep Abyss Bone Spike were all avoided by Xia Ming, but it still pierced through his robe and part of his left hand, a thread of blood flowing down from his left hand.
Even though he dodged most of the Deep Abyss Bone Spike's attacks, Xiaoming was still injured!
After all, it's fifth-grade magic.
Hei Mamba shook his head on the stage, somewhat sighing: From a magical technique perspective, Xia Ming was naturally far superior, but after all, Xia Ming was only a fourth-level mage. If things continued like this, defeat was only a matter of time.
Solomon also understood this, although Xiaoming dodged the Deep Abyss Bone Spike and was shocked with anger, he quickly sneered again: "See how long you can hold on! As a reward for blocking my Deep Abyss Bone Spike just now, I'll give you another spell."
Solomon knew that Xiaoming's magic chanting speed was very fast, and he wasn't a fool either. To prevent Xiaoming's interference, he cleverly kept his distance from Xiaoming, his figure flashing as he wandered around the field, always staying outside of Xiaoming's magical range.
Previously, Xiaoming was able to disrupt with low-level magic because it was unexpected. After Solomon had his guard up, it would be difficult to use the same trick again.
Xia Ming's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the Flame Rod was raised, first giving himself a 【Flame Protection】, the warmth of the flames gave Xia Ming a sense of security.
Indeed it was a bit tricky, unable to intervene in Solomon's attack, Xiaoming's eyes were icy cold, his face slightly pale, but his heart was even more calm.
He was very clear that if he messed up at this time, there would be no chance at all!
Xia Ming's mental strength was fully concentrated, and his magic was also trembling around him, responding to Solomon's next attack with all his might.
"Earthquake!"
Three huge boulders suddenly appeared on the ground, with a diameter of at least eight meters or more. Sand and dust flew everywhere, and the rolling rocks almost blocked everyone's line of sight. The three huge boulders thundered towards Xiaoming in a triangular formation, sealing off all his escape routes.
"Get squished into a meat patty!" Solomon was very confident in this magic.
Xia Ming once again employed his old trick, and began to chant 【Fire God's Roar】, this third-level magic violently burst out, striking the giant stone at the far left, and at the same time Xia Ming agilely flashed to the far left.
The roar of the Fire God touched the giant stone, immediately causing a fierce explosion, making the giant stone turn to the right. However, Solomon was not a fool either, knowing that Xiaoming had this trick up his sleeve after all, the rolling boulder was actually a magic he had specially prepared.
The boulder was so massive that even Xia Ming's use of the Fire God's Roar could only slightly alter its direction, and this enormous object continued to roll towards Xia Ming with crushing force!
Xia Ming's body was tightly pressed against the training field wall, relying on the support of "Inferno Shield" to withstand the impact, his eyes wide open as he watched the massive boulder rumble by just inches from his side!
Although barely dodged, the terrifying magic still shook Xia Ming's blood and energy into turmoil.
"He dodged again!"
"Once is luck, twice is strength! This mysterious Xiaoming is really formidable, having consecutively withstood Solomon's two fifth-level magic spells!"
Kuroba nodded secretly, this kid indeed has a unique place, but unfortunately, it's probably already at the limit. If Solomon releases another level 5 magic, this kid should be done for.
Solomon looked at Xiaoming in surprise, who had only suffered minor injuries: "Actually managed to dodge it again, truly brilliant, even I have to say that I admire you, but unfortunately, the outcome is predetermined."
Cleverly using third-level magic to counter fifth-level magic, Solomon thought it was absolutely impossible.
Solomon sneered and raised his staff again, preparing for his next spell.
The next time magic descends, Xia Ming will surely lose!
A dense gathering of magical elements, Xiaoming also realized an unprecedented crisis, he suddenly closed his eyes tightly, the spiritual force in his mind formed a huge vortex, and the magic around him was involuntarily mobilized, bursting out wildly.
Suddenly, Xiaoming opened his eyes again.
His eyes were clear and bright, and the moment he opened them, the magic around him resonated in unison. With Xia Ming as the center, the elemental spirits also gathered together with joy!
Hei Manba suddenly glared, and many of the freshmen around him were also shocked.
Grade 5!
Xia Ming actually broke through at this critical moment and became a mid-tier magician, a 5th-level magician!
Solomon's pupils contracted, his face turned pale and changed color, he didn't expect that Xiaoming would also break through under pressure and become a fifth-level magician!
"Could he be using me as a whetstone to hone himself, taking advantage of my pressure to break through?" Solomon's mind suddenly flashed with this thought, and he shuddered.
"No matter what, a newly promoted 5th class magician, am I still not worthy of your respect?" Solomon's gloomy smile, gritted his teeth and began to frantically chant the spell.
Solomon's guess was correct, Xia Ming indeed had the idea of making him a "whetstone", relying on his determination, he really succeeded! After drinking a bottle of Magic Source potion, Xia Ming originally had a strength close to level 5, taking advantage of this opportunity, he broke through again and jumped over the threshold of a mid-level mage!
Actual combat is indeed the best and fastest way to grow. If it weren't for this battle, Xia Ming would have needed at least another month to break through to level 5.
A fifth-level magician and a fourth-level one can't be mentioned in the same breath. Xia Ming immediately felt the difference, his whole body's magic power surging and moving, the magical spirit was even more unusually intimate, as soon as he opened his mouth to chant, a fifth-level magic spell would burst out...
"It's too late now!" Solomon's curse was almost complete, his staff pointed and still the same 【Boulder Roll】 fifth-level magic.
Xia Ming was fearless, her eyes fixed on the Flame Emperor's staff, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
A string of notes was recited fluently by Xia Ming, the magical elements danced happily, and a scorching breath lingered in mid-air.
This is a fire-attribute fifth-level magic recorded in the 【Eternal Tome】!
As Solomon finished the last syllable, the massive boulder rolled again, and the rumbling sound of the earth was like the marching of thousands of horses, with an aura that intimidated people.
Smoke and dust filled the air, massive boulders rolled in like small mountains, the aura of a 5th level magic was truly terrifying!
Xia Ming's staff swung out, finally taking action. Flames burst forth, and the surrounding magical energy seemed to boil over like a cauldron. The flames scorched everything in sight, distorting even the air itself!
A gigantic flame palm descended from the sky, about five or six meters high, like the legendary Titan giant's palm, but all wrapped in flames, directly diving down towards the huge rolling stone seal!
This is exactly Xia Ming's fifth-level magic from the Eternal Tome - 【Infernal Hand!】
