Chapter 49

The battle between Dong Fangxiuzhe and Wang Junqi escalated once again, and no one had expected it to be so intense.

The blue sky was dotted with white clouds, as if they too were drawn to the battle, gradually gathering.

The white clouds blocked the sunlight, casting a shadow over the vast arena.

On the ten-zhang-wide field, a small figure darted left and right, constantly changing position, moving so fast it seemed like a frightened mouse.

At the center of the field stood a girl, who had not moved since the battle began. She seemed like a commander, controlling the magic to chase the small, darting figure.

One was in motion, the other was still, forming a stark contrast.

This was a match with no time limit or boundary. It would continue until one side fell or conceded.

The spectators outside the arena stared with wide eyes, their bodies stiff and motionless.

Even if they had not seen Wang Junqi's strength before, they had heard of it many times. Today, she lived up to her reputation. However, for Dong Fangxiuzhe, whom they had initially underestimated, to display such astonishing dodging ability was truly unexpected.

How could a child around three years old be so fast?

Could he be a born warrior?

Could it be that after Wang Junqi, the genius mage, "Grassroots启蒙 School" would produce another genius warrior?

Only at this moment did many people begin to understand why the principal had suddenly arranged this match. Indeed, the old are wise!

At this moment, the situation in the arena suddenly changed.

Wang Junqi began to change her tactics. She raised her hands and made a circular motion, then suddenly clenched her fists, palms facing the ground on either side of her body.

"Shooting Star Chasing the Moon!"

She lightly called out the name of the move.

In an instant, the ground within a two-meter radius around her began to tremble, the vibrations growing larger and larger until it undulated like waves.

Accompanying this was a strange "crackling" sound, as if something was about to emerge from the ground or something was being crushed.

"What kind of move is this? It's quite a commotion!"

Dong Fangxiuzhe stood still, carefully observing. From his angle, he could see the ground beneath Wang Junqi's feet continuously sinking, like cracking ice.

After just two seconds, the undulating ground suddenly became still.

But it was too still, still enough to make one uneasy.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

It was as if nothing had happened!

What's going on? Why nothing?

Dong Fangxiuzhe's mind was full of questions. Looking up at his opponent, he caught a fleeting smile on Wang Junqi's face.

"Trouble!" His heart skipped a beat. Dong Fangxiuzhe tapped his toes and leaped more than two zhang away.

Almost simultaneously, the still ground burst forth with dozens of coconut-sized earth balls, hovering around Wang Junqi.

"Goodness, indeed impressive!" Dong Fangxiuzhe smiled. He was increasingly fond of this opponent.

"Take this!"

Wang Junqi flicked her finger, and one of the hovering earth balls, as if receiving a command, shot towards Dong Fangxiuzhe with a whistling wind.

This earth ball was peculiar, as if it had an automatic navigation system, changing its attack direction based on Dong Fangxiuzhe's dodges.

Outside the arena, Teacher Liu Hong stopped shouting. She watched Wang Junqi's "Shooting Star Chasing the Moon" with a look of surprise.

It was clear from her expression that this was the first time she had seen Wang Junqi use this magic move!

Not far away, Teacher Lüning's heart was in his throat. He couldn't imagine how his student, Dong Fangxiuzhe, would dodge this barrage of attacks.

"This is it, the outcome will be decided now!"

Although Lüning was somewhat reluctant, Wang Junqi's strength was undeniable. He couldn't believe that Dong Fangxiuzhe, who didn't even know magic or martial arts, could protect himself.

In his view, the wisest choice would be to concede and admit defeat.

"Boom!"

The earth ball grazed Dong Fangxiuzhe's clothes and struck a large tree, causing it to sway three times. Although it didn't break, a shower of leaves fell.

"Amazing... so powerful!"

Both the middle and senior class students were stunned by the powerful impact, their mouths agape, looking at Wang Junqi with almost fanatical admiration.

If one earth ball was this difficult, what about many earth balls attacking together?

The answer was soon revealed. With Wang Junqi's light finger flicks, the earth balls, each determined to shatter, charged towards their target.

They changed direction with the twist of her smooth wrist, as if controlled by invisible threads.

Though he seemed somewhat flustered, Dong Fangxiuzhe was at ease, closing the distance with his opponent while observing her control techniques.

"Little girl, indeed you have potential!"

He secretly praised her, feeling that her move was similar to the "Earth Technique" in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art.

Could it be that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art and magic share some common ground?

This discovery excited Dong Fangxiuzhe. Perhaps after learning magic, he could find a shortcut to improve the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art.

While Dong Fangxiuzhe was lost in thought, Wang Junqi's mood began to change.

She now felt that Teacher Liu Hong's evaluation of Dong Fangxiuzhe was not exaggerated but rather too low.

She had already used her newly mastered "Shooting Star Chasing the Moon," yet she couldn't even scratch him. Such a strong opponent was unprecedented since she entered "Grassroots启蒙 School."

Women have a strong sixth sense, and Wang Junqi was particularly good at it.

She was surprised to find that the little boy in front of her gave her the feeling of facing someone on Teacher Liu Hong's level.

This left Wang Junqi bewildered, unsure why her usually accurate sixth sense was so off.

Looking at the small, dodging figure, she suddenly saw excitement on his young face.

Her body trembled: "Is he... enjoying the battle?"

Her expression tightened. Feeling underestimated, she refocused her mind on the attack, controlling the earth balls to attack Dong Fangxiuzhe from different directions.

The attacks became even more fierce!

"This magic move is quite good," Dong Fangxiuzhe thought, "but the attack pattern is a bit monotonous, making it easy to predict. If combined with an array formation, it would be much more effective..."

Excitement welled up in him, and a light smile appeared on his lips.

If he used this move, he would definitely combine it with an array formation, doubling the attack efficiency and reducing the consumption of magic power.

"Knowledge is indeed power!"

Dong Fangxiuzhe was grateful that his memories from his previous life were still intact. He began to consider which array formation would best complement the magic move.

While he was deep in thought, Wang Junqi did something completely unexpected!

Not only did he not expect it, but everyone present was shocked by Wang Junqi's bold move!
