Chapter 149 Dark and windy night

Chapter 149 Dark and windy night
It has to be said that the education in regular colleges is indeed unique. Apprentices are generally well-trained and cannot be compared with those organized by wandering wizards.

After the battle, only one person from the four major academies was seriously injured and dying, and he returned to the spire first. The other injured people, after treatment, remained in the Flash Vortex Secret Realm and continued to collect Water Bubble Fruits.

On the fourth day, the secret realm returned to normal. The ripening of the water-scalded bubble fruit was not affected much by the battle the day before, and everyone finally put their minds at ease.

Ivan was good at catching water bubble fruits. After working for about fifty minutes, he harvested 12 water bubble fruits.

"There are 26 copies in total, which is far from 50."

This number already indicates that he will not be able to reach his goal tomorrow, which makes him feel unwilling.

Walban walked over slowly.

"How was the harvest?"

"It doesn't meet expectations, what about you?" Ivan shook his head slightly.

"There are still 16 copies to go. Yesterday's events have had some impact on today. This is not the normal output for the fourth day." Walban said in a deep voice.

If the temperature and humidity in the secret realm were to increase step by step from the first day, one level a day, the maximum output on the fifth day would be 20 portions. Due to yesterday's interruption, today's output has been affected, which will inevitably affect tomorrow.

He was not sure whether he could collect sixteen portions of Water-Burned Bubble Fruit tomorrow.

In fact, he participated in the siege of the smoke-shrouded area yesterday. He arrived late and only harvested five portions of water-boiled bubble fruits, but someone else got a great bargain.

This made him feel bad.

"We are not very lucky." Ivan said helplessly.

"Based on your performance yesterday, you must have a portion of Water of Alva. To be honest, I don't think one is enough to commend your contribution." Wolfan said affirmatively. If the giant beast with the blood halo had not been dealt with early, there would be no gains in the next two days.

His contribution definitely ranks first, there is no doubt about that, but it is hard to say about others.

“It’s not just my credit.”

"Be careful tonight."

After a few seconds' pause, Walban reminded.

Ivan understood. Due to the influence of the second and third days, the number of water bubble fruits collected by everyone was generally not high. What to do if the amount was not enough? Of course, they would steal others'. Tonight was a good time.

The night is dark and windy, perfect for doing big things.

"There must have been fights over secret realms before."

"Otherwise, why would Wizard Bernardson emphasize not to kill anyone?" Walban said seriously, "But there is one thing that is difficult to deal with. A sneak attack on the same academy is likely to leave trouble behind, and robbing other academies may lead to a melee, and safety is not guaranteed.

Besides, we just fought side by side yesterday, and now we have to fight each other. It’s embarrassing to start a fight, so why not pick someone who is easier to attack.”

"Makes sense."

Listening to his well-reasoned analysis, Ivan felt speechless. He had even considered all these things, so he must have some ideas.

"Any plans for tonight?" Walban asked, changing the subject.

"You ask me?" Ivan looked at him in surprise.

"Of course, at the current pace, I am at most two or three portions short of Water-Burning Bubble Fruit, or maybe just one portion. There is no need to make a big fuss. If you are ambitious to obtain a second portion of Alva Water, you must take action."

"so what?"

"You make the move, and I'll support you. In the end, I'll take three portions of the water-boiled bubble fruit, and the rest is yours."

Walban's calculations were jingling loudly, but his words were true. It was possible to collect 16 portions of Water-Boiled Bubble Fruit on the last day.

"I will think about it."

"Determine the target as soon as possible." Walban did not force it. He walked a few steps away and thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Do you want me to give you a suggestion?"

"Tell me?"

"Your other neighbor."

Ivan waved his hand, neither agreeing nor refusing, but he had to say that this proposal was exactly what he wanted.

He did not forget the news reported by Xunmucan on the first day. The feud had already been formed.

Besides, he just happened to notice yesterday that Jefferson had gotten a great bargain, and other people should have noticed it as well. It was estimated that there were more than just him and Walban eyeing the people next door, which made things a bit difficult.

Time passes little by little.

That night.

There is no light or wind in the secret realm at night, only stuffiness and oppression filling the space.

Until a noisy sound broke the silence of the night.

"Asshole, you actually wanted to sneak attack me, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Hand over the Bubble Fruit, and we won't make things difficult for you."

"You—you are so shameless that you use your numbers to bully the few."

For a group of third-class apprentices, the vision at night was almost the same as that in the daytime. The first area where the accident occurred was the Black Reef Shelter, where their own people attacked their own people.

Ivan was a little far away from there and didn't know the specific situation.

He turned his head to look to the side and heard rustling footsteps. The other party had no intention of hiding his tracks. It was his next-door neighbor, Jefferson. Before he could look for him, the other party came to his door first.

"What are you doing?"

"Let's have a fight, and I'll put the water-burned bubble fruit on you and me."

Ivan frowned slightly, not knowing what the other party's intention was.

Logically speaking, Jefferson was being targeted by many people, and he should have tried to avoid tonight and try not to cause trouble. His current actions are somewhat confusing.

Ivan couldn't help but become alert. He didn't see anyone else around, only Walban was rushing over.

"I heard that you performed a method that exceeded the limits of an apprentice yesterday. It must take time to prepare. Do you think I will give you time?" Jefferson seemed not to intend to give him a chance to refuse and approached step by step.

"Ivan, beat him, I'll support you." Walban shouted from a distance.

"I'm coming too." Someone from Torrent Twin Towers Academy also echoed the response. It was Kennen who had fought side by side with him until the end yesterday.

Jefferson's face became even gloomier, but he did not change his original plan.

"I took action."

"I'm afraid you won't make it."

Not knowing why the other party suddenly went crazy doesn't mean Ivan will avoid fighting. Getting bubble fruit from Jefferson is in line with his idea. With two people on the periphery to support them, they are not afraid of sneak attacks and blockades.

Without any worries, Ivan was full of fighting spirit. He accelerated and rushed towards Jefferson.

The distance between them was further shortened, and the two of them attacked almost at the same time, using their signature spells right from the start.

'Bone-chilling wind'

'The Dark Hand'

In an instant, Ivan used a large amount of magic stone water to cast a "magic hand" and slapped the bone-freezing cold wind.

The collision between the two made a huge roar, the energy stirred up smoke, and the strong wind blew the water and burned the grass in the field.

The confrontation between third-class apprentices is often a confrontation of spells. Whoever controls the most powerful spells has the bigger fist.

The power of the attacks was almost the same, and in the end neither of them could do anything to the other.

"Come again."

Neither of them was afraid of the other, and instead of retreating, they advanced, and the distance between them was shortened again.

The two men had surprisingly similar goals, which was to end the battle quickly and decisively.

'Ice Cone'

'Frozen Forest of Thorns'

This time, Ivan chose a large-scale spell. A large number of thorny vines with runes emerged from the ground and enveloped Jefferson in the blink of an eye. A group of swift wood silkworms also flew into the jungle.

At the same time, Ivan had to face the sharp long cones made of ice. The ice cones with an attack scale of thirteen or fourteen were difficult to block, and there was no time to dodge, so he had to take out the Green Tree Star.

The long cone of high condensation hit the wooden shield.

The competition between the third-class apprentices was just so plain and simple.

"ended."

On the other side, Walban had already made a judgment in his mind.

Combining Ivan's spells and fighting spirit slashes yesterday, Walban could tell that the closer the distance was, the stronger Ivan would be. Only by being far away could he avoid his attacks, but he couldn't do anything to him. This should be the combat system he had figured out.

Among the group of third-class apprentices, Ivan is one of the top fighters.

I have to admit that I underestimated Ivan's growth rate and practical ability. I guess Jefferson made the same mistake, so the fight is about to end.

"Stop it. I admit defeat."

Sure enough, Jefferson shouted words that brought shame upon himself.

After hearing this, Ivan retracted the Green Tree Star Shield, recalled the Swift Wood Silkworm, and allowed the Thorny Frozen Forest to dissipate on its own.

Jefferson came out from the thorn vines, looking disheveled and obviously injured. His face was so gloomy that it looked like tears were dripping from his eyes.

"Since you've admitted defeat, take out your things."

"Indispensable for you."

Faced with Ivan's urging, Jefferson reluctantly reached into his pocket and quickly threw something out.

A pure white glass test tube.

"Be careful!" Walbang shouted.

This is not a water-burning bubble fruit, but an 'Ice Crack Potion'. It is from the same series as the famous Exploding Potion. The Ice Crack Potion is rarer than the Exploding Potion.

Both drugs were extremely powerful, and Jefferson was aiming to kill people.

This was something that no one present had expected.

Low-level magic items need to be charged, otherwise they will not only consume a lot of energy, but also be slow to activate. Ivan's shield has been used once, and Walban and Kenan can't help but worry about him.

Ivan also recognized the ice cracking potion. He quickly retreated while turning his palm into a sword and slashing out with one palm.

Jefferson was prepared, causing the ice crack potion to take effect first. A deeper chill spread within two or three meters in front of Ivan and swept towards him.

At the critical moment, the Green Tree Star in Ivan's hand appeared again, blocking the incoming coldness.

"How can it be."

Jefferson's eyes widened in disbelief.

He didn't know that his enemy had three shields in his hands, and it would be useless to consume only one shield.

"You deserve to die!"

Ivan then cast Thorny Forest, submerging Jefferson in vines, and Swiftwood Silkworm quickly joined in.

Since this person has already made the decision to kill, he won't be polite either.

"Ivan, don't kill him yet." Walban stepped forward to remind him. "I think this matter is problematic. It's best to let Wizard Bernardson handle it."

"Row."

Ivan hesitated for a moment and did not object.

There are indeed big problems here. After all, he and Jefferson did not have any deep hatred. It was just a small grudge and a win or loss, not to the point of killing each other.

"This bastard is really looking for death." He suddenly cursed again.

"what happened?"

"He destroyed a lot of water-burned bubble fruit."

Walban was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."

Finally, Jefferson was lifted out of the vines, his hands and feet were broken, and he was unconscious.

That night, Ivan contacted the wizard Bernardson and explained what had happened. He then got Bernardson's permission to send the people out of the secret realm.

Ivan found 22 intact Bubble Fruits from Jefferson, and the rest were destroyed by Jefferson when he suddenly went crazy.

Ivan was not stingy and gave three copies each to Wolfan and Kenan.

The night is still very long tonight, and only if the three of us take care of each other can we spend this night peacefully. We must not be careless.
