Near the East Pole Academy, which was closer to the Demon Capital Academy, Cai Fanghua glanced at the group of Demon Capital Academy in the distance. She heard them seem to be discussing something, but the noise in the venue was too loud to hear clearly.@@@@


    "Fang Mingyu, what are those people from Demon Capital Academy talking about?" Cai Fanghua frowned and asked the young man beside her.


    The young man named Fang Mingyu had a thought. Some Wind Element gathered around his ears, and the voices of the Demon Capital Academy crowd entered clearly into his ears.


    "It seems like they were talking about something called Hellfire... Saying that Shi Zhong from Qing Province Academy has the strength of only 0.5 Hellfire or something."


    "Hellfire?" Cai Fanghua frowned, "What is that?"


    Fang Mingyu touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "I don''t know either..."


    Fang Mingyu turned his head to look at Zhang Tai, who was still standing in the field, slightly restraining his expression, "But the person from Demon Capital Academy has very interesting abilities."


    Cai Fanghua nodded, "He was calm as a mountain one moment, then aggressive as fire the next. The transition between mountain and fire was completed in an instant, switching freely.


    If it weren''t for this, Shi Zhong from Qing Province Academy wouldn''t have been suppressed unexpectedly, leading to such a quick defeat, probably not even half of his strength was displayed."


    Not only Cai Fanghua and Fang Mingyu, but the top experts from other academies also saw clearly. The reason Zhang Tai could win so quickly was precisely because of his sudden change in momentum.


    This was Zhang Tai''s special Soul Card talent: Mountain Stone Fire.


    It could switch between "Mountain" and "Fire" states. One excelled at defense, the other at attack.


    Combined with embedded Earth and Fire Skills, it was both offensive and defensive, with hardly any weaknesses!


    On the field, Shi Zhong respectfully cupped his hands to Zhang Tai, then picked up his staff and left.


    Shi Zhong knew very well that if Zhang Tai hadn''t stopped at the critical moment, that punch would have been enough for him to bear.


    Having achieved a victory in the initial battle, Zhang Tai, full of fighting spirit, looked around and shouted, "Who''s next!"


    Clearly, in the previous battle, Zhang Tai had not expended much energy, and fighting one or two more rounds wouldn''t be a problem.


    However, after the Elemental Illusion Realm in the academy, he suddenly rose!


    Not only did he gain four Thunder Star Cards—one blue, three green—and a Blue Star Artifact, the Thunder Thorns Staff, he also fortuitously absorbed a large amount of Thunder Power from the Thunder Refining Pool in the Elemental Illusion Realm, breaking through to Bronze Middle Stage in one fell swoop!


    "It shouldn''t be hard for Chen Jiujun to solve the person on the platform. But Xiang Dingqian later might be more challenging to deal with," Ling Long''s gaze fell on Xiang Dingqian, who was standing with his fists folded among the Demon Capital crowd.


    Ling Long herself was originally from Capitol City. Although not from the same school, she knew Xiang Dingqian, the genius from the Capitol City Xiang Family.


    "Xiang Dingqian and the Bronze Middle Stage girl behind him are probably the strongest among these Demon Capital students.


    Luckily, Ye Qing from the Ye Family hasn''t come, or I''d have a hard time dealing with a genius Beast Tamer right now..."


    While Ling Long scrutinized the people from Demon Capital Academy, Chen Jiujun and Zhang Tai on the field also moved simultaneously.


    Chen Jiujun opened his right hand, and with a flash of silver light, a metal short staff about one foot long, covered with silver thorn patterns, fell into his hand.


    "Magician?"


    Zhang Tai''s eyes narrowed. He immediately stomped his foot, sending a large amount of Star Power surging from his body, and rushed forward!


    The basic principle when fighting a Magician was to close the distance and limit their skill usage.


    Facing the rapidly approaching Zhang Tai, Chen Jiujun remained calm. With a lift of his hand, two silver snakes shot out from his body.


    As Zhang Tai rushed close, Chen Jiujun stepped back, surrounded by the two snakes, instantly leaping backward in a flash of thunder.


    At the same time, the ground where Chen Jiujun previously stood solidified into a Thunder Seal, becoming exceptionally bright!


    "Damn!"


    Zhang Tai''s heart skipped a beat. He couldn''t dodge in time. Thus he immediately switched to "Mountain" stance and exploded his Star Power to defend.


    Thunder light swelled, and a bolt of thunder exploded from the Thunder Seal.
