Chapter 1 A Formidable Technique

"What a fierce technique! This Qing Huang must be more than just an ordinary expert from Phoenix Pavilion." Aqua Rose, standing in the audience, was slightly stunned, not expecting Qing Huang to be this powerful.

The fighting styles of magic-based classes and melee classes are vastly different.

Magic-based combat depends on both familiarity with magic and the degree of control over it.

The more familiar a player is with magic, the faster they can cast spells. When familiarity reaches a certain level, and if their mental strength is sufficient, they can completely abandon chanting and instantly cast spells.

The higher the control over magic, the more spells that can be cast simultaneously. However, higher-level magic requires a greater degree of control. It's like how doing one thing is easy, but doing two things at the same time is difficult, requiring multitasking. Let alone casting two or more spells simultaneously, it's simply impossible without a certain level of control over magic.

Of course, some people are naturally gifted and can multitask, even handling multiple tasks at once. If such people play magic-based classes, they are born magic experts. Even if they don't have a high degree of control over magic, they can still perform dual or multiple casting.

When fighting enemies this way, the enemies probably won't even have time to react before facing an overwhelming barrage of magic attacks, eventually dying under the magical bombardment.

After all, it's already difficult to dodge a single magic attack, let alone facing two at the same time.

Just dual casting greatly increases the variability of a magic-based player's attack patterns, breaking away from a single attack mode that's easily predictable, and naturally boosts their combat power exponentially.

Currently, she can only manage dual casting, and can only use zero-tier magic at the same time. She can't even manage a first-tier spell and a zero-tier spell simultaneously. But Qing Huang can use a first-tier ultimate magic and a zero-tier spell, which shows that her control over magic is far beyond hers.

On the duel stage, Shi Feng faced dozens of incoming Ice Spears and immediately started running, turning into a series of afterimages.

When players are moving, the difficulty of hitting them with magic greatly increases, especially when controlling so many Ice Spears at once.

"Useless!" Qing Huang had already seen through Shi Feng's movements and manipulated the Ice Spears to shoot ahead.

However, Shi Feng had reached the Void Realm ( *zhenkong zhi jing* ), and knew the exact location of the dozens of Ice Spears. The moment the Ice Spears came flying, he shifted his body to the side, and several Ice Spears brushed past him, then circled around towards Qing Huang from the side.

Although the Void Realm provides a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, its range is limited to a maximum of 20 yards. Beyond that distance, it's impossible to perceive movements with extreme precision, and naturally impossible to change the attack trajectory of the Ice Spears on the fly.

But Qing Huang wasn't stupid either. While controlling the Ice Rampage ( *bing zhi kuanglan* ), she used Ice Walls or instant Ice Arrows to block Shi Feng's path.

Seeing Shi Feng cornered, four Ice Walls suddenly appeared in a row around him, and dozens of Ice Spears were already lying in wait, falling directly.

Boom, boom, boom!

The entire area turned into frozen earth, emitting billowing white mist.

"Is he dead?" Qing Huang checked the time. Only three seconds had passed.

Just then, Qing Huang suddenly felt something was wrong. It was as if a prehistoric beast had silently appeared behind her. She quickly used the Blink skill, appearing fifteen yards away.

Whoosh!

Several streaks of cyan light bloomed, directly slashing through the afterimage Qing Huang had left behind. Shi Feng had almost hit her.

"Her intuition is sharp." Shi Feng sighed. If it were any other class, this move would have definitely hit. But the Blink skill only requires a thought to instantly appear 15 yards away, without any process. But his sword swing has a process, and no matter how fast, it can't be faster than Blink.

"That was close!" Qing Huang, relying on the perception of the Void Realm, already knew what Shi Feng had done. "So, he still has this move, but it's useless! It's all over!"

Immediately, Qing Huang waved her hand and used Ice Dragon's Roar ( *bing long xiao* ) on Shi Feng. A blast of icy energy roared towards Shi Feng.

As Shi Feng was about to dodge to the left, five large fireballs came straight at him.

Dual casting allows magic-based players to gain the upper hand by using the first attack to expose the enemy's weaknesses, and then directly attack the enemy's weaknesses with the second. If ordinary experts don't deal with it well, they won't even know how they lost until they're played to death.

"Void Realm magic experts are indeed tricky."

Shi Feng had no choice but to retreat sharply, preparing to avoid the five large fireballs and then evade the Ice Dragon's Roar. Suddenly, he discovered that two more Ice Walls had appeared behind him, directly blocking his final escape route.

"How is this possible!" Aqua Rose's expression was extremely serious. "Triple casting? How did she do it?"

Dual casting was already the limit for Aqua Rose. Even so, it had greatly increased her combat power. But Qing Huang could actually use triple casting. She was simply not human.

The others naturally saw Qing Huang's power as well.

It was clearly only zero-tier magic, but after using triple casting, its power was much greater than second-tier magic, completely dominating the opponent.

At this moment, everyone understood Qing Huang's terror. No wonder Qing Huang dared to say that she could end the battle in less than a minute. This ever-changing combat mode would leave anyone helpless. All they could do was fight head-on, but how many times could they withstand Qing Huang's high magic damage?

"Qing Huang is really taking this too seriously." Feng Qianyu could only sigh helplessly at Qing Huang's performance. "It seems I can only let Qing Huang go to the competition."

In the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, if it wasn't for Dragon Martial mastering the Domain, even Dragon Martial would have been outdone by Qing Huang in the past. Let alone an unknown little figure from Zero Wing.

That's why she told Shi Feng that as long as Shi Feng could last for one minute, that would be enough.

But now it seemed that he probably wouldn't even last a minute.

In her serious state, with her current equipment level, it would be impressive if Shi Feng could last ten seconds.

Seeing that Shi Feng was about to be swallowed by the Ice Dragon's Roar, Shi Feng gently waved the Abyssal Blade in his hand at the Ice Dragon's Roar.

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!

One after another, streaks of cyan lightning snakes crashed into the Ice Dragon's Roar.

The pure white icy energy was directly neutralized by the two cyan lightning snakes, and then the two lightning snakes shot straight towards Qing Huang.

Qing Huang looked at the incoming lightning snakes and quickly used Ice Wall and Pyroblast to block them.

After breaking through the third Ice Wall, the lightning snakes completely dissipated.

"What powerful force!" Qing Huang couldn't help but marvel at the Ice Wall that had been evaporated by the lightning.

Before Qing Huang could finish marveling, she saw Shi Feng wave the Abyssal Blade in his hand again.

Hurricane!

Instantly, countless wind blades were stirred up, making the attack range impossible for Qing Huang to dodge.

Qing Huang then quickly used Blink to avoid the Hurricane's attack range, but Shi Feng had somehow circled to Qing Huang's right side, only 20 yards away from her.

Elementalist can only cast Blink twice in a row, and the cumulative time for each Blink is 12 seconds. It had only been a few seconds since she first used Blink, and Blink was completely on cooldown and could not be cast again.

"You think you can get close after using up Blink?" Qing Huang sneered, and with a wave of her staff, Ice Walls began to block Shi Feng's path, while simultaneously using Frost Nova, which not only had a slowing effect on the surrounding area, but also dealt a decent amount of damage.

Using the time to dodge the Ice Walls and the Frost Nova's blockade, coupled with her firepower, Blink would be off cooldown before Shi Feng could get close.

Just as Qing Huang was thinking about how Shi Feng would dodge, Shi Feng suddenly activated Sword's Orbit ( *yujian huitian* ) and struck the Ice Wall with his sword.

The Ice Wall cannot be touched, as touching it will slow you down, but being touched by sword energy will not slow the player down. After activating Sword's Orbit, Shi Feng's attack distance reaches 15 yards.

Bang!

The Ice Wall was instantly shattered by the cyan sword energy, and Shi Feng directly broke through the Ice Wall's blockade.

"Don't even think about coming over!" Qing Huang released Ice Walls while using Ice Spears to attack fiercely.

However, the Ice Walls were shattered by the cyan sword energy as soon as they appeared, and none of the consecutive Ice Spears were spared either.

After Shi Feng stepped into the fifteen-yard range, the Abyssal Blade in his hand suddenly unleashed several sword strikes, triggering the Lightning Edge effect.

The cyan sword light bloomed, not only passing through the obstruction of the Ice Walls, but also directly penetrating Qing Huang's Frost Armor, and several cyan lights flashed across Qing Huang's body in a row, directly reducing her health to zero...
