"You're using sound magic, right?"
"So what?"
"In this case, I will make you convinced that you lost and defeat you with the same magic," Ian replied.
"Damn civilians. Sonic magic: Sonic Roar!"
Marty opened his mouth and sent out a powerful sonic attack that could shake the entire arena.
However, Ian just shook his head calmly. "It's really barbaric."
He hit a the Snap in the air, instantly creating a more powerful sonic attack that directly suppressed his opponent.
Fortunately, Marty flew into the sky in time and escaped most of the attacks, but it was not completely spared.
His clothes were in tatters and his body was covered with small wounds.
"Use sound vibrations to fly? I can do it too," Ian said, then cast the same magic and flew to the same height as his opponent.
At this time, Marty looked solemn, realizing that this civilian was definitely not a good person.
"This venue is inaccessible and not suitable for a battle of our level," he said.
"You're right," Ian waved his hand, and two portals appeared: one in front of him, and the other in the arena.
Marty squinted his eyes, realizing that he might be in big trouble. His opponent had already displayed four different attributes, and there might even be more.
Deep down, there was a slight thought of giving up or finding an excuse to cancel the fight.
But he knew that the contract he just signed would never allow him to do this.
So, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the portal.
At the same time, the other eight team leaders and all contestants also entered the portal.
After a while, everyone found themselves in a forest outside "Commoner Realm".
As soon as Marty rushed out of the portal, he accelerated the sound waves in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
His speed almost reached hypersonic speed, and he rushed straight towards Ian, hoping to use close combat to end the battle.
Unfortunately, what greeted him was a heavy punch. His whole body was blown away and hit the ground heavily.
"Are you really the leader? My magic power is countless times greater than yours. Guess how powerful I will be after I strengthen my body with magic power?"
Marty got up from the ground, covered in mud and in a miserable state.
He opened his mouth and roared again:
"Sonic magic: Explosive Roar!"
A terrifying sound wave spurted out from his mouth, and a large forest shattered and exploded in an instant.
All trees, rocks, plants and animals within the attack range are turned into powder.
As for Ian, he just calmly hit the Snap in the air, creating the same attack and canceling out Marty's move.
However, Marty seemed to have expected this result. As he flew back, a white disk appeared in his hand.
"Sonic Disc."
Marty throws it at the opponent, and the speed of the disc is even faster than his physical flight speed.
Do you want to give up large-scale attacks and use concentrated attacks instead?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Ian The Grimoire book pages in front of him turned, and he typed the Snap again.
In an instant, the Accio disk disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed.
Marty opened his mouth to attack again, but no sound came out.
Not only that, he heard a "bang, bang" sound, like the sound of a heart beating.
Before he could figure out what was going on, blood flowed from his mouth, ears and nose.
"What did you do?"
"Sound Nullification. This is a standard countermeasure against sound magic users. As for my attack, I use the sound of the heartbeat to interfere with the blood circulation in your body," Ian explained with a smile.
"You should thank me. I'm teaching you how to use your magic for free."
This time, Marty was not angry. He knew that if the civilian had not been merciful just now, his bones would have been broken in the previous melee.
He raised his head and looked at Ian, and said, "You said that I am the weakest, but you are wrong. The total amount of magic power does not mean everything. I will prove it to you."
"Mana Zone: World of Sound!"
Sonic attacks came from all directions, trapping Ian in a small space.
The attack was so powerful that it instantly defeated his "Sound Nullification" magic, forcing him to put up a sonic shield to defend himself.
He could feel that if it weren't for his huge magical power, this shield wouldn't be able to last long.
What kind of magic is this? Ian felt the sonic attacks from all directions and thought in his heart.
No, this is not magic, but a skill. It uses the natural magic power in the surrounding environment to exponentially increase the power of ordinary attacks, while also making up for the shortcomings of its own lack of magic power.
Moreover, he can now activate magic from any direction, making it unpredictable and impossible to dodge.
While Ian was analyzing this technique, the team leaders watching the battle were also communicating.
"I didn't expect that Marty actually mastered 'Mana Zone'," the leader of Delaion commented.
"It's really surprising. If this continues, that civilian won't be able to last long no matter how much magic power he has," the leader of the Gray Deer Guild replied, while looking at the leader of the Crimson Lion King Guild - the one Ian called the "penultimate weakest".
At this moment, the group leader was clenching his fists and staring at Marty's attack.
Other group leaders also agreed. One of them noticed that Acier·Hill wa had been silent and asked, "Hill ZZwa leader, do you have any different opinions?"
She opened her mouth but stopped talking.
Then, she gritted her teeth and replied, "I don't think this contestant is that simple."
The other group leaders said nothing more. Although she was respected because she was a member of the Imperial Family and had great potential, they still thought she was too young and still had a long way to go.
Therefore, they did not pay much attention to her opinion.
Unfortunately, these group leaders were quickly slapped in the face.
Ian burst out laughing, "You finally got some use for it. Thank you for teaching me such a great skill."
Impossible, Marty thought. But things happened just as he feared.
Ian waved his hand, and Marty's magic was instantly disintegrated.
"Demon...Mana Zone? You actually learned it in a few minutes?"
"Is this thing difficult?" Ian asked. His words made all the group leaders present almost want to kill him.
Among the nine of them, only two could use Mana Zone. Now adding Marty, there are only three.
Others have either not succeeded or have not yet reached the point where they can try to learn.
However, it only took this guy a few minutes to learn it?
Ignoring everyone's shock, Ian raised his hand above his head and hit the Snap.
A terrifying sound wave shot straight into the sky, instantly shaking away all the clouds within hundreds of miles.
"Fascinating technique. Using the same magic power, my attack power has increased more than ten times. Not to mention, I can continue to fight even if the magic power in my body is exhausted."
Then, Ian looked at the motionless opponent. The reason why Marty was motionless was not only because of shock, but also because Ian controlled the surrounding magic to imprison him.
"Are you admitting defeat?"
Marty stared at him with red eyes and said nothing.
The dignity of a noble would never allow him to admit defeat to a commoner.
After realizing his opponent's mentality, Ian decided to end the battle completely.
"Knowledge Magic: Voice of the Mind."
Marty suddenly heard a shrill scream deep in his mind, then rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and passed out.
His team members rushed to check and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that he had just fainted.
Then, they looked at Ian with eyes filled with hatred.
"Don't forget to fulfill your bet," Ian said and flew away.
He knew that things would not end so easily. So, he returned to the hotel and waited for news.
The news that the commoner defeated the noble leader in the regiment entrance examination quickly spread to the Commoner Realm, then to the Noble Realm, and finally even to the Forsaken Realm.
Both commoners and nobles are discussing this matter. The former are very excited that finally a commoner can become a magic knight.
The latter, on the contrary, were shocked and disgusted by the notion.
Three days later, Ian received a summons from the Magic Emperor and set off for Royal Capital Noble District.
