Chapter 50
Lian Qi’s opponent is a Transmutation/Illusion school mage. Unlike Qifeng, who is also from the Transmutation/Illusion school, his magic is to ‘materialize’ a 1:1 scale ‘substitute.’
If the concept of the Transmutation/Illusion school is the materialization of a mental image… just how deep is his obsession with his dad? To be able to create magic like this?
But—
For someone who’s always saying “My dad is…” this, “my dad is…” that, it’s not strange that he would end up mastering this kind of inherent magic.
It’s just… isn’t this two against one? I’m starting to worry about Lian Qi.
Wood was still being arrogant.
“Today, I’ll let you know the consequences of making an enemy of ‘Steel’ Oka’s son! Imperial Martial Arts · Hundred-Fissure Fist!”
His ‘dad’ encircled his whole body with red magic power and charged at Lian Qi, unleashing a flurry of continuous punches at an extremely high speed! He was even mumbling some strange onomatopoeia under his breath. Lian Qi crossed her arms in a defensive posture. The fists rained down on her body like hailstones!
Wood was just watching from the side.
“The substitute I summoned… has perfectly inherited all of my dad’s moves!”
The flurry of fists didn’t just pummel Lian Qi; they also shattered the floor! Gravel flew everywhere! If Lian Qi didn’t have her ‘Magic Encirclement’… I dare not imagine the consequences. No wonder Sister Aijieliya said Transmutation/Illusion school mages have the potential to fight above their level. When he summons his dad to be his fighter, what mage at the same level can possibly withstand it?
Wood laughed maniacally! “What’s wrong? Aren’t you so tough? Why aren’t you fighting back? In the face of my dad’s absolute power, you can’t even fight back, you can only defend, is that it? Ahahaha!”
He pointed his finger— “Imperial Martial Arts · Rising Sun Flying Kick!”
His ‘dad’ delivered a knee strike, which carried a shockwave, right into Lian Qi’s stomach!
To hit Lian Qi in the stomach! Even if he doesn’t know Lian Qi is a girl, that’s still too heavy-handed!
I can’t go up on stage to help…
No… that’s not right.
I should believe in Lian Qi. This is… her fight.
“Did you see that? This is the consequence of opposing the student council! My dad is ‘Steel’ Oka!” Wood roared at the students below the stage.
Lian Qi’s small frame rolled a few times on the ground before she managed to push herself up. The moment she raised her head, Wood gave an order! His ‘dad’ materialized a long staff with his magic power!
“Royal Guard’s Secret Staff Technique · No Thieves Under Heaven!”
The staff, leaving a dazzling trail of afterimages, chopped at Lian Qi from all directions!
BOOM—!
I couldn’t see clearly if the staff had hit Lian Qi, because the stage suddenly exploded!
Even Wood had a “what’s going on” expression. It seems his ‘dad’s’ “No Thieves Under Heaven” staff technique doesn’t create this kind of explosion?
The audience below the stage held their breath, waiting for the result.
Just as I was sweating bullets for Lian Qi, I saw her figure walk out of the sea of fire from the explosion.
“What happened?” Wood’s smug expression vanished, replaced by shock.
“Hey, your dad blew up.”
Lian Qi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and said coldly.
Wood’s ‘dad’ was lying face down behind Lian Qi, with only one foot sticking out of the sea of fire and roiling black smoke.
“How could my dad explode!? This is impossible—”
Before Wood could finish, Lian Qi dashed in front of him and grabbed his collar!
“You only dare to hide behind your dad, is that it? You coward! Next, it’s your turn to explode!”
Perhaps witnessing the pillar of his spiritual support collapse had dealt him a psychological blow? Without his ‘dad’ to block for him, Wood panicked. He screamed—
“Dad, save me!”
At the same time, the collar Lian Qi was holding began to show a high-energy reaction!
His ‘dad’ really climbed up from the ground! Since he’s a substitute, he doesn’t seem to care that his body is on fire. He used ‘Imperial Martial Arts · Hundred-Fissure Fist,’ wildly attacking Lian Qi’s back.
It’s only thanks to Lian Qi being an Enchantment school mage that she can withstand such an attack. She didn’t dodge or evade, just stood there and took it! She held onto Wood’s collar and didn’t let go. Her objective was singular—
BOOM—!
Wood exploded! He was sent flying in the blossoming explosion, and even with his ‘Magic Encirclement,’ he was seriously injured.
He was heavily wounded, sprawling on the ground, his school uniform blasted into tattered rags. He was a pathetic sight. He looked up at Lian Qi, the muscles in his face twitching with rage.
“With the combined power of my father and me! I will definitely destroy you today—!”
He climbed up from the ground, took the long staff his ‘dad’ handed him, and father and son attacked Lian Qi from the left and right—!
“So what if your dad is the Royal Capital’s guard captain!?”
Lian Qi’s crystal-red magic power erupted with her emotions! At the last possible second, she grabbed Wood’s head with her left hand, and his ‘dad’s’ head with her right, and slammed both father and son into the ground, grinding their faces!
With a bang! the concrete ground shattered. The father and son’s heads were pressed into the dirt! And then— Lian Qi’s hands both showed a high-energy reaction at the same time!
BOOM—!
Two pillars of fire shot into the sky!
The audience below the stage was stunned. Even the referee was dumbfounded.
Lian Qi turned and walked away, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with her back to the sea of fire and roiling black smoke. At the same time, the referee’s trembling voice rang out—
“Wood Li Steel is unable to battle—! The winner is— Lian Qi!!!”
