After both sides steadied, the battle began!
Xia Yue struck first. The ruby on her magic wand lit up, and fireballs poured towards Wen Chenwei.
Under the Luck Ring's boost, the additional effect of Magic Fluctuation fluctuated between 15% and 30% over 70% of the time. The fireballs' sizes were somewhat more uniform, significantly enhanced.
Wen Chenwei shook his head. "Such simple means won't have any effect on me."
Facing the incoming fireballs, Wen Chenwei took a step forward. Within a range of several dozen meters, seven Starlight Illusions randomly appeared in a flash of starlight.
In the next moment, Wen Chenwei's body flashed and abruptly vanished from the original spot, replacing one of the illusions.
In doing so, he not only dodged the incoming fireballs but also closed the distance between himself and Xia Yue.
"That's Wen Chenwei's Seven-Star Step!" someone in the audience recognized the move.
Seven-Star Step, with each step, can generate seven Starlight Illusions. It allows for displacement by replacing any one of these illusions within a short range.
It's a skill for precise displacement in a small area, effective for both offense and defense, with a bit of a confounding effect.
But the downside is obvious. The position of the seven illusions is random, limited to a general range. Additionally, since all seven illusions must materialize each time, its Star Power consumption is significantly higher than other skills.
Thus, the operation requirements for this skill are quite high. Not everyone can use it effectively.
At this moment, Wen Chenwei took a few steps, continuously using Seven-Star Step. In just a moment, he reached Xia Yue's front.
"Unfortunately, you've been approached..."
Wen Chenwei swung his Starlight Sword, slicing down fiercely!
However, Xia Yue had a triumphant smile on her face. A wave of fire elements pulsed, and four runes lit up beneath her feet. Four Fiery Fire Jiao Dragons surged out, rushing towards Wen Chenwei.
Trap skill, Four Flood Dragons Competing to Eat!
"As expected, progress has been made. But this is not enough..."
Wen Chenwei's expression remained unchanged. A flash of starlight flickered, and he displaced to another spot beside Xia Yue, leaving behind a starlight illusion capable of mirroring attacks.
The starlight illusion was pierced by the four Flame Flood Dragons, rapidly dimming. Obviously, it wasn't immune to all damage. Strong energy attacks destroyed it.
However, Wen Chenwei managed to avoid being devoured by the Flame Flood Dragons. He raised his longsword and slashed at the slightly flustered Xia Yue again!
Wen Chenwei smiled faintly as he slashed through Xia Yue's body. The next moment, his expression changed slightly.
Where the Starlight Sword cut, Xia Yue's body shattered. But no blood blossomed.
Wen Chenwei's eyes narrowed, his intent to pull back.
At that moment, Xia Yue, struck by the longsword, suddenly turned into a human-shaped burst of fire. Several Red Training Fire Ropes shot out, binding Wen Chenwei!
Trap skill, Red Training Counterattack Binding.
After casting, within a certain period, it only triggers when the enemy attacks in close quarters, activating a counterattack skill.
A scorching heat from the Red Training Fire Ropes, Wen Chenwei's hurriedly activated Star Power was continuously burned and disintegrated!
In terms of overall quality, skill precision, and combat awareness, Xia Yue might not be as good as Wen Chenwei.
But in a pure Star Power clash, Xia Yue, with her high Star Power Talent as a Fire Mage, wasn't inferior to Wen Chenwei!
Xia Yue waved her hand, and the four Flame Dragons turned around to charge at Wen Chenwei.
"Xia Yue's combat style seems to have changed a lot..." Su Yuan observed the field, slightly surprised.
The former Xia Yue relied on her strong firepower for frontal assault and gradual suppression of her enemy, simple and brutal.
Now, starting with trap skills, followed by counterattack skills that lured the enemy deeper. They cooperated effectively, quite different from before.
Changing from a violent output machine to a smart magician combining circumstances in combat, her fighting strength had improved by at least one or two levels!
Moreover, as Su Yuan knew, the "Red Training Counterattack Binding" should be Xia Yue's new skill. Her skill selection alone showed her transformation.
At this moment, Wen Chenwei was bound by the Red Training Fire Rope, unable to use displacement skills, and the four incoming Fire Flood Dragons left him in a passive position.
Wen Chenwei's mind shifted. Starlight flashed intensely around him. A Starlight Pillar suddenly descended from the sky again, initiating "Star Presence"!
However, whether due to the lack of coordinated movements, or the hasty casting, or the reduced Star Power compared to before, this time, the pillar of starlight descending on Wen Chenwei had shrunk significantly.
Even so, using the powerful effect of the star descent, Wen Chenwei broke free from the Red Training Fire Rope. Then, with a swing of his sword and star flames surging, the four approaching Fiery Fire Jiao Dragons were all slashed to pieces!
At that moment, Wen Chenwei sensed an extremely scorching powerful fluctuation.
Looking up, he saw Xia Yue's momentum rise, a crimson dragon horn sprouted from her head, her magic wand wrapped in malevolent dark red flames, and a magic technique fully prepared!
