Murphy vs. Xiaoming (Chapter 5555)

  PS: Another 2-in-1 chapter today, with a total of 8,000 words continuously updated. Please don't scold me, I really did my best. Is there a monthly ticket?

  Upon seeing Angela's actions, Xiaoming couldn't help but let out a sigh of sorrow in his heart. She was indeed the little princess of the Rain Empire, truly a rich person.

  Anqi'er took out... was a magic scroll!

  Magic scrolls can instantly cast magic, just need to unfold the scroll with magic power. However, making magic scrolls is extremely difficult and consumes a lot of time. A fifth-level magic scroll requires an eighth-level mage who is three levels higher than it to complete.

  Moreover, even for an Arcane Master, the success rate of creating a scroll won't be too high. Having a one-third success rate is already considered extremely impressive, and it consumes a lot of time and experience.

  Due to these various reasons, the number of magic scrolls circulating in the market is pitifully small. A single fifth-level magic scroll, if it's an important auxiliary magic, could be worth nearly 10,000 gold coins.

  But now, Angel took out more than a dozen magic scrolls!

  Every single magical scroll was surging with magical power, almost all of them being fifth-grade scrolls, which left everyone in awe.

  The fifth-level earth-system magician who was fighting against Angelica turned pale, he thought he had the upper hand when he saw that his opponent was just a little girl, but unexpectedly this little girl suddenly pulled out more than a dozen magic scrolls...

  "This is still not allowed?!?" The earth-based magician was speechless, extremely indignant.

  "Avalanche Technique!"

  "Gravity Crush!"

  "Seal of Water!"

  Three magical scrolls unfolded, and two distinctly different types of magic powers surged forth - water and earth. In an instant, the earth-type magician was completely engulfed.

  The earth-based magician's face changed color, feeling wave after wave of pressure coming, making him feel extremely stressed. He quickly retreated, wanting to recite a magic shield to resist. However, the speed of his recitation was far from comparable to the release speed of these three magics.

  The scroll is in hand, it's instant release!

  Three consecutive magic strikes hit the earth system magician, directly blasting the earth system magician out of the field and rolling a big circle.

  The audience was stunned, many people were left staring blankly, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. This match was won so unexpectedly, that little girl had more than a dozen fifth-grade scrolls on her hands, which meant at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and judging from the girl's appearance, she didn't care about it at all... using up tens of thousands or using up a few gold coins made no difference to her.

  Tang Ge's eyes widened in shock: "Damn, Xia Ming, what's the story with that little junior sister of yours? This is just too rich." In the days they'd spent together, Tang Ge had also gotten familiar with An Qi'er. He just didn't know her true identity.

  Xia Ming was even more speechless and muttered: "He's really a rich peasant."

  Indeed, for Princess Angel, a few magical scrolls were nothing. It was probably just her pocket money, the entire Rain Empire would be hers in the future, what did a few scrolls matter?

  Lan Ning on stage also had a wry smile as he announced Angela's victory.

  The little girl walked off the stage with a proud smile, showing off to Xiaoming. Over the past two months, Anqi and Xiaoming had gotten along quite well, with Xiaoming treating her like an adorable little sister, although this little sister was indeed a bit mischievous.

  After a brief burst of noise, Lan Ning picked up the transmission crystal.

  "Cough, everyone, you all saw it, between the previous match, this conference made an extra rule - from now on, no one is allowed to use 6th level and above magic scrolls, otherwise it's a foul!" Lan Ning said.

  "That's not fair!" Angel stamped her foot: "I've also prepared a seventh-level magic scroll, how come it suddenly doesn't allow the use of magic scrolls?!"

  Xia Ming's face was covered in sweat, and in his heart he thought that if he really had to use the magic scroll, it would be truly unfair. A seventh-level magic scroll. Others would have directly conceded defeat, how could they still fight?

  After this little episode, the audience was even more enthusiastic. The Magic Warrior Conference really has all kinds of people, which also adds more uncertainty to this year's final competition and makes it more worth looking forward to.

  Anqi'er complained a few more sentences, Xiaoming comforted this cheap little sister for a few sentences. At this time, the mirror crystal flashed again, and the audience exclaimed in unison.

  "Murphy!" Xiaming's gaze suddenly focused on the crystal mirror, his eyes fixed.

  That's right, it's Murphy, and the Murphy in the 4th war zone has also started competing. As the third place in the previous session and the first person of the Magic Academy, Murphy is only slightly less popular than Arthur.

  Murphy's long gown fluttered in the wind, his expression calm, but the aura around him suddenly surged violently, casting a terrifying pressure over his opponent.

  His magical power was like a tidal wave, and his opponent's shocking pressure almost made him unable to stand upright!

  The audience erupted into a murmur of amazement and couldn't stop exclaiming in surprise.

  No more, Murphy's exposed magic clearly indicates he has already entered the seventh level!

  Seventh-level magician!

  "My god, he's still so young, yet already a 7th level magician..."

  "Sōen Academy, as expected, is a hotbed of geniuses. This strength might even surpass that of Arthur!"

  Seventh-grade strength, this is almost the highest strength of the previous Magic Martial Arts Conference.

  "Murphy-senpai!" The girls shrieked.

  The powerful Murphy, his opponent saw such a terrifying momentum and immediately surrendered, facing a seventh-level strongman, admitting defeat is not shameful.

  The scene was suddenly filled with cheers for Murphy, who stood in the middle of the field and suddenly stretched out his magic wand, pointing straight at Arthur's position!

  Arthur was also paying attention to Murphy, and he flashed a brilliant smile, seemingly not worried at all that Murphy had shown off his level 7 strength, but instead stretched out his right hand and beckoned to Murphy!

  The audience erupted into another commotion.

  "This, Arthur is provoking Murphy! " Tong Ge's voice was dry, the game had not yet entered the final stage and Arthur and Murphy had already sparked, the strongest of the Warrior Academy and the strongest of the Magic Academy, this move by the two indeed attracted attention, making people look forward to it.

  "It's truly astonishing, Murphy, a 7th-level magician, directly pointed at Arthur, and Arthur also publicly provoked Murphy. Does this mean that another fierce battle is about to unfold between the Magic Academy and the Warrior Academy?"

  "It's unprecedented for a seven-level strong to appear in the preliminary round, this is probably the first time in the history of the Magic Warrior Conference. This conference will surely be more exciting than ever!" Lan Ning said with an enchanting tone, causing everyone to open their imagination and think about the scene where these two strong individuals clash, making their blood boil with excitement.

  The Magic Academy side gained momentum and burst into a cheer, frantically shouting Murphy's name. The people of the Magic Academy seemed to have gone crazy.

  "The lunatics of the Magic Academy, it seems they've been suppressed for too long." The Dark Knight Kaka couldn't help but shudder at the sight from afar, the roars of the Magic Academy were truly maddening, as if all the pent-up frustration from being oppressed by the Warrior Academy for three consecutive years had burst out all at once.

  "Seventh level, Murphy really has skills." The Golden Lion let out a cold hum, last time he was second, but now although strong, he only touched the threshold of the seventh level and did not make a breakthrough. Compared to Murphy, he is still one step behind, which shows Murphy's progress.

  Kazuo's face was somewhat complicated, apparently also because Murphy's exposed strength had put him under tremendous pressure.

  Everyone at Warrior Academy looked serious, a level 7 master, this time Magic Academy was really not to be underestimated.

  "It's actually level 7, Xiaoming, how is it, do you feel any pressure?" Tang Ge also took a deep breath. Good grief, a level 7 magician isn't something to be taken lightly. The higher the level of a magician, the more their powerful combat ability can be displayed, and a level 7 magician is just one step away from being an Arcane Magician, it's terrifying just thinking about it.

  Xia Ming smiled: "Of course there is pressure, but I'm also more looking forward to it." His eyes shone brightly, and in his heart, a spark seemed to have been ignited. Although the power of level 7 was strong, it was not unattainable, and Xia Ming's past two months had not been spent in vain. The effects of Moon Shadow Dusk and Thousand Year Ice Frost on his body had reached their maximum potential, coupled with the power of magical variation. He was confident that he could take on any master below level 7.

  Of course, a strong player like Murphy still gave Xia Ming a lot of pressure.

  "Anyway, let's take down the first place in our war zone first." Xiaoming smiled and replied, his words were calm, although Huang Jinshi and he were in the same war zone, if they couldn't win the first place in the war zone, they wouldn't even have the qualification to face Arthur and Mophist.

  "It's also time to show off my skills, the Magic Academy isn't just about Murphy!" Xiaoming thought to himself, looking up to meet Su Weiwei's encouraging gaze, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

  The audience on the field was already excited and shouting, cheering continuously. The match had just begun, but these strong players were showing off their skills, giving the audience a visual feast.

  "This is what makes it interesting, more uncertainty rather than Arthur dominating alone." Tong Ge stroked his chin and suddenly looked at the big screen with a surprised expression: "Damn, Xiaoming's next opponent is actually him..."

  On the crystal mirror, the next match of the promoted players is displayed. On it, there are rows and rows of names and numbers of contestants. All the promoted players can see their own names on it. Xia Ming, Su Weiwei, and Tang Ge's names are also prominently listed.

  Tang Ge's face changed as soon as he saw Xia Ming's opponent on the crystal screen.

  On the crystal screen was written: Area 1, Xiaoming and Chris.

  Xia Ming found it a bit strange, Tang Ge's reaction was so big, and turned to look at Su Weiwei, seeing the beauty also slightly frowned, couldn't help but ask: "What's with this Chris?"

  "Cough, Xiaoming, I really don't know whether to say you're extremely lucky or extremely unlucky. This Chris is a rare strong opponent." Tang Ge coughed and explained to Xiaoming, but it couldn't be blamed on Xiaoming. In the previous Magic Martial Arts Conference, Xiaoming wasn't even present, let alone the fact that Cangyan Academy was overflowing with talent, and it's not like one conference could encompass them all.

  "Chris is from your magic school, but he's well-versed in dark magic and has a very introverted personality. He doesn't have many friends at the academy. In the previous Magic Martial Arts Tournament, he didn't participate, but his strength was acknowledged by everyone. Many people even think that his strength can rank top three in the entire magic school. Anyway, he's extremely powerful. Logically speaking, this guy shouldn't be interested in the competition, but he actually came to participate... it's really strange..." Tang Ge explained patiently.

  "So, Xiaoming, if you win against Chris, it will definitely make more people notice you." Tang Ge said with a pat on Xiaoming's shoulder.

  "It turned out to be a master who had never participated in the Magic Martial Arts Conference before." Xia Ming furrowed his brow.

  "That's right, although Chris didn't participate in the previous Magic Warrior Conference, many people think he has the strength to be among the top five. Xiaoming, don't underestimate him." Tang Ge reminded kindly.

  Xia Ming certainly wouldn't underestimate any opponent, but the fact that his opponent was a dark magician genuinely piqued his interest. He also looked forward to crossing swords with such an expert.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, today's competition has come to an end, and this is the situation for tomorrow's competition. I believe that as we move forward, the competition will become more and more exciting." Lan Ning smiled on stage and made a summary: "Today was truly a feast for the eyes! Murphy showed amazing strength from the start and reached level 7. Last year's champion Arthur defeated his opponent with one move... Of course, what we're looking forward to even more is the emergence of dark horses in the competition. Before the final stage, everyone has the possibility of making a breakthrough, and everyone has an opportunity!"

  "Don't forget, our Cangyan Academy once had a champion who was originally only at the fifth level, but during the competition, he actually broke through continuously and relied on his sixth-level peak strength to win the championship. What an exciting and surprising miracle it is!" Lan Ning exclaimed loudly.

  What Lan Ning said was indeed exaggerated, but it was the truth. More than half of the people on stage were nodding in agreement with what he said. Indeed, these geniuses from the Cangyang Academy were too young, and they were all at the golden stage of their cultivation breakthroughs, where they could burst forth with potential at any moment. This uncertainty was also one of the most attractive aspects of the Magic Martial Arts Tournament.

  Every year at the Mo Wu Conference, a few dark horses emerge, becoming the sensational figures of the entire Cang Yan Academy.

  "Today's match is over, I have to go back and take a good bath, and then train again, strive to make another breakthrough. See if we can break through to the middle of level 6!" Even Tang Ge, this not-so-serious guy, became serious, clenched his fists and said.

  "Well, you'd better work hard now. Five months ago, you were at level 5 and now you're only at level 6." Xia Ming patted Tang Ge's shoulder. This guy still has some talent, he's just too lazy.

  "You think everyone is as perverted as you..." Tang Ge rolled his eyes, feeling a surge of powerlessness. Suddenly deeply hurt, what's the point of being only level 6? Tang Ge really wanted to say that his promotion speed in Warrior Academy was also top-notch, but thinking of Xia Ming's promotion speed, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

  Tang Ge quickly ran away, Angie also felt bored and bid farewell, leaving only Xia Ming and Su Weiwei in the room.

  "Shall we go for a walk?" Xia Ming suggested.

  "Alright." Su Weiwei replied with a smile, the two of them walking side by side. The atmosphere between them was subtle, both Su Weiwei and Xia Ming were silent, but Xia Ming felt an unprecedented sense of calmness in his heart.

  Many people around them noticed that Xiaoming and Su Weiwei were standing together. In terms of fame, Su Weiwei was much more famous than Xiaoming. Xiaoming couldn't help but smile wryly as the envious, jealous, and hateful glances from those around him could have killed him hundreds of times over.

  "Vivian, your charm is indeed great." Xiaoming felt the strange eyes of the people around him, even when facing the siege of Thomas, Julian and Goslar, three level 6 powerhouses alone, he had never felt such pressure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  "I don't care about their opinions." Su Weiwei replied, her voice as calm and clear as ever, her bright eyes locking onto Xia Ming's, making his heart skip a beat.

  "What if it's my eyesight?" Xiaoming blurted out this sentence, completely unintentionally.

  Su Wei's slender and elegant body suddenly paused, seemingly a little surprised. Immediately, a hint of smile appeared in her clear and calm beautiful eyes, and her gaze swept towards Xia Ming.

  Swept by Su Weiwei's gaze, Xiaoming couldn't help but cough: "I was just joking." Xiaoming timely shifted the topic: "Huh? There seem to be many people over there, what are they doing?"

  As he spoke, Xiaoming walked towards the location of the noisy crowd.

  When mentioning Xiaoming's transfer, Su Weiwei couldn't help but laugh, a charming flush appearing on her face, as if saying: Coward, coward!

  Xia Ming walked towards a place that was indeed crowded with people, surrounded by three layers inside and out, with constant murmurs of discussion. Xia Ming found it somewhat strange, how could the Magic Martial Arts Conference have ended, yet there was still a place as lively as this?

  As I walked closer, I suddenly realized that these people were actually gambling! This was a betting place, and the owner of this betting place was also an old acquaintance - Soros!

  Soros, the great thief, has been living a carefree life since he was no longer wanted by the Black Dragon Alliance. He is now indulging in gambling at the betting site, where the names and matches of tomorrow's participants are listed, along with the odds.

  Xia Ming took a look at his and Chris's match, the odds were actually 1 to 3, he couldn't help but touch his nose and smile wryly, it seemed that everyone didn't think much of him either.

  "Come on, everybody! Place your bets quickly! Tomorrow is going to be another exciting day! What are you waiting for? This is a great opportunity to make a big haul!" Soros stirred up the emotions of the crowd, and many gamblers' eyes turned red as they started placing their bets.

  "There's a match between Xiaoming from Magic Academy and Chris, who do you think will win?"

  "Nonsense, of course it's Chris. Chris is at least a high-level six-star strongman, a dark system magician, and that's a hot contender who has hope to contend for the top ten!"

  "I think Xiaoming is also good, I've seen his fight with Lifi and it was very intense!" The people preparing to place their bets were arguing.

  "It's hard to say, Chris is also notoriously powerful, and Xiaoming apparently won a game against Goddard from the Magic Academy with just one move. I think this match is going to be tough."

  Everyone was discussing the upcoming battle between Xia Ming and Chris, because battles involving people like Arthur and Murphy were basically not within the scope of betting, almost all of which were sure to win, and Soros would not be foolish enough to use them for gambling.

  Therefore, Xia Ming and Chris's fight is highly anticipated.

  "I don't care, I'll crush Chris, five hundred gold coins!" A man scolded and took out a crystal card worth five hundred gold coins, slapping it heavily on the table.

  Some people brought their heads, hesitant people also hesitated for a moment, and more people put their bets on Chris.

  Xia Ming watched silently from the side, and due to the angle issue, the gamblers who were placing bets didn't notice him. He was just a little interested, of course he wouldn't care about these odds, when the time comes, strength will speak for itself on the arena.

  "It was actually a bet." Su Weiwei also walked up to Xia Ming's side at this time, with a smile on her face.

  "It's true, it was actually Soros who did it. It seems that my odds aren't very good," Xiaoming said.

  "One compensation for three, it's a bit higher than I imagined."

  Xia Ming couldn't help but be speechless, Su Weiwei was indeed direct. However, next Su Weiwei tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then walked straight up to him.

  The appearance of such a stunning beauty naturally made everyone in the scene stare blankly, staring straight at Su Weiwei, who walked straight forward, and everyone involuntarily gave way to her.

  She took out a crystal card and gently placed it on the bet written with Xiaoming and Chris, saying in a soft voice: "I'm betting on Xiaoming, 100,000 gold coins."

  One hundred thousand gold coins!

  Everyone's eyes widened, the huge amount of 100,000 gold coins heavily impacted everyone's heart, this beautiful and unbelievable woman really has a big handwriting!

  Su Weiwei ignored the surprised gazes of the crowd, walked up to Xia Ming, and burst into a slightly playful smile: "I've bet all my 100,000 gold coins on you, don't lose!"
