20 Moon God Barrier

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The surrounding students were momentarily at a loss for words.

That was it?

What happened to the spell-spirit duel?

'What's the big deal if a Healing Card kills you?'

And before that, why had this person's healing spells been able to trick people?

Actually, even You Chu himself was a little surprised.

He still wanted to take this opportunity to try out his new card and test the difference in strength between Moonlight and ordinary spell spirits. At the same time, he wanted to earn more reputation points to prepare for his future major business in India.

Who would have thought that he would lie down on the other side of the treatment card?

Moreover, he had rolled directly under Moonlight's boots. Even if he wanted Moonlight to take it easy, it would be too late…

Right, he had not even been able to test Moonlight's skills in actual combat.

Before he could do anything, he had won for no reason. You Chu felt that he had suffered a loss.

So he let Moonlight withdraw her sword and let the Thunder Orc go.

"The one just now doesn't count," You Chu said. "My card is a little special. Senior didn't expect it, but he was careless and didn't flash it.

I had won this time purely by deception and by surprise. No card ethics. An unfair victory.

So let's start another round…"

Meng Ye: "?"

He was a little confused.

Wasn't this supposed to be his line? How could the winning side say that they wanted to restart the game?

But Meng Ye was not stupid. He quickly realized that something was wrong.

There was something strange about this kid. He should have known. The newcomer that his senior personally showed around must have a powerful background.

He had yet to figure out the other party's strategy. If he fought another round, he might be defeated. Instead of continuing to be stubborn, it was better to stay here. Although it was still a little embarrassing, he could at least stop his losses in time.

Therefore, Meng Ye said, "No, no, Junior, you're too polite. In a duel between Summoners, it's hard to win. How can you say it's despicable?

I underestimated my enemy and was caught off guard by your move. I lost in the first place."

Meng Ye felt that he was very smart. Not only did he avoid continuing to embarrass himself in another round, but he also showed that he was magnanimous. If he lost, he lost. He would never find excuses.

"That won't do, Senior. I feel guilty winning like this."

"There's no need to say anymore, Junior. I'm convinced that you've won…"

"…"

Hence, everyone below the stage watched the two of them argue.

The side that won insisted that they won unfairly and had to start another round. The side that lost insisted that they were not as good as the other party and admitted defeat wholeheartedly…

In the end, it was still Cen Xue who made the final decision. "Fight, fight. Just fight another round with him."

Originally, Cen Xue wanted to see how strong an Epic-grade spell spirit was. Unexpectedly, Moonlight did not exert any strength at all. Meng Ye, this unreliable spell spirit, had already died.

Since Senior had spoken, Meng Ye could no longer refuse. He could only cry.

He realized now that Senior didn't have a grudge against the pretty boy and wanted to kill him. Senior had a grudge against him instead!

"Then come back first." Meng Ye was helpless.

The Thunder Orc returned to his master gloomily. Even his roar was weak, as if he felt embarrassed.

"You go first this time," Meng Ye said weakly.

"Okay." You Chu nodded. He didn't stand on ceremony. "Moonlight."

Moonlight accepted the order and didn't hesitate at all. With a kick of her silver combat boots, she shot forward like an arrow leaving a bow, disappearing into thin air.

A shadow that seemed to have been lengthened flashed in front of the Thunder Orc without warning. Silver light appeared from the scabbard and slashed at the side of the Orc's face like a dancing silver snake.

He moved like a rabbit escaping from its prey. The thunderous attack caught everyone off guard.

So fast!

However, the Thunder Orc was indeed Meng Ye's trump card. His reaction was extremely fast as he raised his mace and blocked the trajectory of the sword light.

Dang!

The crisp sound of collision echoed in the hall, and an ear-piercing sound wave spread out. The air pressure in the entire venue suddenly changed, and the wind blew so hard that people could not open their eyes. The roar shook the heavens and the earth.

Everyone was shocked. In just this exchange, the mace in the orc warrior's hand actually fell out of his hand!

The cyclone produced by the sword sent the Thunder Orc's weapon flying. The mace wrapped in lightning flew far away and fell to the ground. The orc's burly body flew back with a miserable groan and rolled to the edge of the arena.

The students were confused.

Meng Ye, who was more or less mentally prepared on the stage, still gaped, his facial muscles twitching.

Brothers, there's a hack!

Logically speaking, a newly promoted bronze-level Summoner was still in the beginning stages of refining and controlling the Fate Card. It was already not bad for him to be able to successfully command most [Ordinary] quality spell spirit.

In the beginning, almost everyone present thought that they had seen through the essence of this duel—the experts from the training hall would step forward to educate the newcomers, warning them not to be arrogant and rash. They needed to settle down and had a long way to go.

But who knew… this newbie was completely unpredictable!

Based on what the female swordsman displayed, you're telling me that this was a beginner's spell spirit?

'This isn't bloody lobster pulling eggs – shrimp pulling eggs?'

However, the outstanding combat quality still quickly snapped Meng Ye out of his shock and forced him to focus on the duel.

"Thunder Orc!" Meng Ye shouted at his spell spirit, who had almost been blasted out of the arena. "Stand up!"

Contestant Meng Ye used the secret technique, Rejuvenation Roar, and gave the order to "stand up". The effect was outstanding.

The Thunder Orc actually stumbled to his feet. Blue lightning flowed in his eyes. He bared his sharp fangs and extended his arm. The mace that had landed nearby flew back into his hand as if drawn by electricity.

"Thunder Orc, Skill: Thunder!"

Following Meng Ye's order, blue electric arcs shot out from the Thunder Orc's body, as if countless small snakes were swimming around him.

At the same time, Meng Ye summoned the card. The array in front of him opened up, and a card seemed to melt and dissipate. The energy released quickly filled the Thunder Orc's body.

"Activate the spell card Metallization!" Meng Ye said.

Metallicization could make the spell spirit's skin metallic in three seconds. The spell energy covered the surface of the orc's skin like a layer of armour, and the electric light trembled on the surface of the metal. Violent electric currents gathered on the mace that was waving in the air, and the electric light emitted jumped on the floor with a sizzling sound. Even the temperature seemed to have suddenly changed.

However, as long as a man was scum enough and swore to be vicious enough, lightning skills would probably have similar effects.

"A combination of thunder and metalization!" Soon, students who were familiar with Meng Ye exclaimed.

"Good lord, he even took out such a trump card. Looks like he's going all out this time…"

The orc took a stance, and the electric current seemed to have opened up a hemispherical force field. Lightning pierced through space!

Moonlight gripped her sword tightly and was about to dodge, but the Summoner behind him said, "Block it."

The spectators in the front row could not help but be shocked when they heard this.

'Block it?'

Wouldn't your conscience hurt if such a cute spell spirit girl took such a big move head-on?

After receiving the Summoner's order, Moonlight gave up dodging and obediently stood where she was. She held her sword in her right hand and extended her left palm forward. Her snow-white fingers opened, and her jade-like palm seemed transparent under the lightning.

"HURRAHHHH!!"

The orc warrior gripped the mace with both hands and smashed it down with the might of a mountain. The dancing huge club left a flickering blue arc on everyone's retinas, and white smoke spread out from the electric wrapped club.

BOOM!!!

The sound of the collision seemed to overturn the dome. Thunder Orc's mace stopped a meter away from Moonlight's hand.

The cadets opened their eyes against the suffocating torrent and saw a faint golden barrier rippling in front of the moonlit palm.

The mace struck the transparent barrier with great force. Endless electric currents were like thousands of troops organizing their attacks to attack the city wall, but each time, they failed.

Skill—Moon God Barrier!

The combination of the spell spirit skill "Thunderclap" and the spell card "Metalize" had once allowed Meng Ye and his Thunder Orc to have a powerful killing move in the training hall. Their attacks were extremely fast and powerful. It was the foundation of his invincibility in the training hall so far.

But today they seemed to have met their match.

The lightning kept striking the barrier, accompanied by a sharp noise like a cat scratching at glass. But no matter how fierce the lightning's attacks were, the Moon God Barrier remained unmoved.

Three seconds later, the aftershock was used up, and the duration of the metalization effect was over. The last trace of lightning in the thick and big mace was also squeezed dry.

Orc: "Roar!"

Although the special effects looked very handsome and gorgeous, his essence was completely exhausted in just three seconds. Even the wolf fang club that he was so proud of seemed to have gone limp.

It was awkward.

After the other party had exhausted his strength, Moonlight gently waved her left hand and easily carried the soft mace to the side. At the same time, she swept the longsword in her right hand, dragging out a silver light that was like a crescent moon.

The sword swept across the hall, slicing through the orc's floating body.

Moonlight circled one hundred and eighty degrees, graceful as a swan.

She turned, stopped, returned the sword, sheathed it.

The orc warrior's body exploded with the sword mark as the center. The mace spun and exploded into pieces in midair.

Moonlight didn't even turn around. The blast from the explosion lifted her long, gauzy hair.

All the students present maintained an "I don't understand but I'm shocked" expression.

Especially the two girls in the front row, their mouths were wide open.

'Is he a fucking beginner?'

Was this the spell spirit that a beginner should have?

The cadets were all confused.

Why was it different from their beginner spell spirit?

Back then, the first spell spirit card that everyone hurriedly refined at the rookie stage was usually a battle card with an attack power of 100 and no special skills.

How could a beginner's spell spirit be so powerful!?

And…

… So handsome!

Especially when Moonlight defended and counterattacked at the end, instantly killing him with a single strike. She turned around and sheathed her sword like flowing water, revealing the calmness and confidence of an expert.

There was a saying that true men never looked back at explosions. Now, it seemed that the same scene was also applicable to women.

Handsome, good-looking, and good at fighting. The students instantly became her fans.

Damn it, why was the beginner's spell spirit different from mine!

Meng Ye looked at the "Thunder Orc" card in his hand and stood rooted to the ground.

Of course, spell spirits usually did not die. Spell spirits that were destroyed in battle would temporarily return to the card and enter a sleeping state. Usually, it would take more than 40 minutes to recover before they could be summoned again.

You Chu checked the game system backstage.

Reputation points +23+15+17+…

As expected, the reputation points rose steadily.

'Good, good. Everyone's working hard.'

Cen Xue had heard about You Chu from Luo Qing before and was mentally prepared. She was not as surprised as the apprentices in the training hall.

"However, an Epic-grade natal spell spirit is really something…"

Meng Ye looked at You Chu in confusion, then at Cen Xue.

Now, he began to suspect that his Senior had something to do with this pretty boy.

This wasn't a newcomer. This was a fucking challenge, right?

"Alright, we're almost done here." Cen Xue smiled and called You Chu, who was in the arena. "Let's go. I'll bring you to eat something good."

Before she left, she remembered something and turned to Meng Ye. "By the way, wash the dishes for a week. Don't forget."

Meng Ye was speechless.
