Witnessing History by Accident
After calming down, Ma Jingjing also realized the problem of energy depletion.
Now, there is no trace of anxiety or distress on her face.
She shrank the Sword Qi circle to its smallest size, minimizing her energy consumption while ensuring she wouldn't be burned by the flames.
At the same time, when wielding the longsword, she also compressed the spiritual energy on the sword more tightly to reduce the loss of spiritual energy.
Although she didn't know whether her or Shanna's spiritual power would be exhausted first, the current situation of attrition was the most advantageous for her at the moment.
However, if Ma Jingjing wanted to delay, she still had to ask Shanna for her consent.
Unlike Ma Jingjing, who was suppressed, Shanna, who held the initiative, had more choices.
While maintaining pressure on Ma Jingjing and ensuring that she wouldn't have a chance to unleash her ultimate move, Shanna also managed to spare some energy for the next step of her plan.
She wasn't going to waste time and energy on the other person; she wanted to get rid of them cleanly and efficiently!
As time ticked by, Shanna finally finished her preparations.
Under the cover of the flames, she secretly crept to the edge of the arena.
With her current level of Fire Escape Technique technique, she cannot guarantee her safety in the upcoming situation, so she must first ensure that she is not affected.
With a sudden stomp, cracks quickly spread across the entire arena, starting from Shanna's toes.
Ma Jingjing glanced at her feet. She could feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations that had just passed under her feet were not strong, which meant that these cracks should be very shallow.
Such a shallow crack wouldn't even disrupt her balance, so Ma Jingjing was very curious as to why Shanna was doing such a futile effort.
Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine. Ma Jingjing stared intently at the crack beneath her feet and saw streams of thick, black liquid rapidly gushing out from it.
"Oil!?"
The gushing oil ignites upon contact with the flames, causing the already intense fire to heat up rapidly.
Moreover, what made Ma Jingjing's scalp tingle the most was that oil has a very high stickiness, and once it gets on your body, it is very difficult to remove.
"There's no other way, we have to do it!"
With oil spraying everywhere, there was absolutely no room to dodge. Moreover, with the temperature in the inferno rising rapidly, if she stayed there any longer, she might get cooked in no time.
Holding her longsword high, a large amount of spiritual energy was transformed into Sword Qi, forming a thick shield around Ma Jingjing, temporarily blocking the burning oil.
Then, Ma Jingjing once again used the technique of Unity of Man and Sword, charging straight upwards.
Pop!
Like the sound of a bubble bursting, the Defense Array surrounding the arena was shattered in just a few seconds by Ma Jingjing's all-out attack.
"!?"
The gentlemen who were about to stop Shanna from continuing her attack were stunned.
Throughout the Academy's centuries-long history, there have been many instances of students accidentally breaking through Defense Array during competitions, but this is truly the first time someone like Ma Jingjing has actively attacked a defensive formation.
Did they accidentally witness history?
However, there is no time for them to reminisce now.
With the defensive formation broken, the large amount of oil that Shanna had stored underground using her Transfiguration quickly flowed down towards the area below the arena.
While ordering the students behind them not to move, the teachers quickly built earthen Earth Wall to trap the flames.
Seeing that Ma Jingjing had run away in such an unexpected way, Shanna stomped her foot in anger.
You should know that the previous arrangements had consumed a lot of her magic power, and she originally thought she could take down the opponent in one fell swoop.
Who knew that all that work would be for nothing?
How can this be tolerated?
Unable to bear such a great injustice, Shanna suddenly waved her Wand, controlling the large amount of unburnt oil and flames on the ground to gather together.
Then, she raised her Wand and pointed it at Ma Jingjing in the sky.
A massive fireball of fuel, billowing black smoke, hurtled towards Ma Jingjing, who was Qi Recovery in mid-air. She had unleashed too much spiritual power in that instant, and her Meridians were now throbbing with pain.
Seeing that Shanna was attacking relentlessly without stopping, Ma Jingjing controlled her Flying Sword to her feet and quickly dodged Shanna's attacks while standing on the Flying Sword.
Now that the arena is no longer a constraint, she can truly be described as free as a fish leaping in the sea or a bird soaring in the sky.
The situation where the other party used the terrain to trap her in the sea of fire, as before, is unlikely to happen again.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the geographical advantage has already turned in her favor.
When it comes to flying on a sword, no one is more skilled Sword Cultivator.
So she's not in a hurry at all. She'll take it easy for now. Once the stinging pain in her body disappears, she'll have plenty of time to make up for the humiliation she suffered while being suppressed!
Watching Ma Jingjing perform various difficult aerial maneuvers in the air, and unable to be surrounded no matter how she attacked, Shanna rolled her eyes and decided to change her tactics.
Flames erupted on Shanna's body, and in the next instant, she transformed into a streak of fire, appearing behind Ma Jingjing.
Flying is not a privilege reserved for Sword Cultivator. Even without using Flying Shoes, Shanna has several ways to fly.
However, most of those flight methods were too slow and agile, and once they flew into the sky, they could only be used as targets, which was a sure way to die.
Therefore, Shanna still chose to use the Fire Escape Technique that she had only recently mastered.
To be honest, before today, she didn't really understand why her Gege valued these seemingly useless Five Elements Escape Technique so much.
After all, both Flying Shoes and Side-Along Apparition can achieve rapid dodging and movement, and the learning difficulty is much lower than that of the Five Elements Escape Technique.
But now that she has actually used Fire Escape Technique in real combat, all Shanna can say is, you have to try it to know how good it is!
What Shanna didn't know was that the Five Elements Escape Technique was originally developed by Magic Cultivator specifically to counter Sword Cultivator.
Sword Cultivator always attack by targeting specific points, making it difficult for Magic Cultivator ' shields to withstand Flying Sword attacks.
Since confronting it head-on is unreliable, the only option is to dodge.
Besides, if you can't beat them, can't you just run away?
Thus, the Five Elements Escape Five Elements Escape Technique Five Elements Escape Technique no slower than flying on a sword), and can traverse various harsh environments, came into being.
But we're all Cultivator, and it would be really embarrassing to keep running away like this!
In addition, those Sword Cultivator were far too arrogant and domineering; even an honest person would eventually reach their breaking point!
Thus, the magic cultivators, determined to overthrow the oppression of the Sword Cultivator Magic Cultivator, after hundreds of years and generations of effort, finally evolved the Five Elements Escape Technique, a magic spell used for escaping, into a super-powerful spell that combines movement and attack!
However, due to the extreme difficulty, very few people can cultivate to that level. In the end, the Magic Cultivator still couldn't escape the fate of being thoroughly crushed by the Sword Cultivator...
