The players watching the match were stunned by the sight.
"Fire Mages can be played like this?"
"You didn't know? Every class can do it, but creating effects this gorgeous is incredibly difficult. It requires an extremely high level of control over your class abilities."
"That was insane. Kress wanted to compete with Lu Yang in magical control, but Lu Yang completely outclassed her."
In the livestream.
The hosts from various countries did not know what to say either. They could only keep cheering. Those lifelike animals were not merely simulated with flames; they also had to be given the ability to move using mana. This brought flame control to an extreme.
Inside the arena.
Kress could already imagine how the players outside were cheering for Lu Yang and mocking her. Furious to the extreme, her pretty face twisted slightly.
"Fire Needle Rain!"
She pointed her left hand into the air, and a ball of flame flew upward. It then exploded, transforming into countless fiery needles that rapidly fell from the sky. The crimson rain of flaming needles filling the heavens left even the cheering players staring open-mouthed.
Lu Yang's eyes lit up. He had not expected Kress's flame control to have reached the third level. The first level was freely casting skills. The second was precisely controlling flame energy, which meant accelerating spellcasting. The third was flame transformation. Once mastered, it allowed players to instantly switch skills while casting at high speed.
However, Kress's level was still too low. Lu Yang had already trained to the fifth level, two full levels above her.
"Oiled Paper Umbrella!"
Lu Yang recited an incantation and raised his left hand. A lifelike oiled paper umbrella made of flame appeared, with every rib and support meticulously formed.
