Chapter 49 Magic Competition Preliminary**

**Chapter 49: Magic Competition Preliminary**

The morning sun shines through the window onto the training ground, bringing a touch of warmth to the students. After several days of hard training, the strength and tacit understanding of Lin Yu, Su Yao and Zhao Hao have been significantly improved. They can't wait to show their skills in the upcoming magic competition.

**Preliminary Round Rules**

The preliminary round of the magic competition is divided into two parts: individual competition and team competition. The individual competition requires contestants to complete designated magic tasks within a limited time, such as making magic potions, repairing damaged magic items, etc. The team competition requires three team members to complete a complex magic task together within a limited time, such as controlling elemental power to reconnect a broken bridge.

**Individual competition**

The first task of the individual competition was to make magic potions. Lin Yu and Su Yao were both good at making magic potions, so they were assigned to this project. Zhao Hao was responsible for preparing the materials needed to make potions.

"Su Yao, this potion requires fire and wind elements. You should prepare the fire element first." Lin Yu said to Su Yao while stirring the potion.

Su Yao nodded, waved the magic wand in her hand gently, and a ball of fire immediately appeared in front of her. She carefully controlled the fire to keep the temperature of the flame within the appropriate range.

"Yu, there's no problem with the wind element on my side." Zhao Hao's voice came from the side.

Lin Yu looked up and saw Zhao Hao put a leaf on the mint candy in his mouth and blew hard. A green wind blade immediately flew out and hit somewhere accurately in the potion.

"Good, Zhao Hao!" Lin Yu praised.

The medicine was quickly made and tested to be of qualified quality. Then, they completed the next task and successfully completed the individual competition within the specified time.

**TEAM COMPETITION**

The challenge of the team competition is more complicated. They need to manipulate the power of elements to reconnect a broken bridge. This broken bridge spans a wide river. Due to its age, the bridge has been severely damaged, with only a few broken beams and a few supporting points left.

"Okay, let's start now." Lin Yu said.

He first pointed his magic wand at the broken part of the bridge and injected the fire element into it, trying to weld the broken beams together. Su Yao controlled the wind element to blow away the dust and debris on the bridge to create a good environment for welding.

Zhao Hao was responsible for controlling the water element and diverting the river under the bridge to one side to facilitate the repair work.

"Yu, the wind element is ready, you can start." Su Yao said.

"Okay." Lin Yu responded. He injected the fire element into the broken beam. With the effect of high temperature, the broken beam gradually melted and welded together with another broken beam.

"Yu, how are things going over there?" Su Yao asked.

"No problem, it will be done soon." Lin Yu replied.

At this moment, Zhao Hao suddenly discovered that the water level of the river under the bridge was rising. He immediately manipulated the water element and tried to redirect the river back to its original position.

"Zhao Hao, what's going on?" Lin Yu asked.

"Yu, maybe the water flow washed away the supporting points under the bridge." Zhao Hao said anxiously.

"Hurry, let's speed up!" Lin Yu shouted loudly.

The three of them immediately divided the work and worked together to repair the broken beams and the supporting points. After some efforts, the bridge was finally reconnected and the cracks on the broken bridge gradually healed.

"We did it!" Su Yao said excitedly.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Lin Yu was also deeply moved.

**POST-RACE CELEBRATION**

After the game, the three returned to the dormitory and prepared to celebrate. They opened a bottle of red wine and reviewed the process of the game while tasting it.

"We performed quite well in this competition," said Lin Yu.

"Yes, we cooperate with each other very well." Su Yao nodded.

"I believe that in the next games, we will be able to achieve better results," said Zhao Hao.

The three of them smiled at each other. They knew that as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve final victory.
