Chapter 224 Face to Face
Hearing their explanation, Qi Yu could understand. After all, they didn't have a system for appraisal like he did. Unless they were extremely knowledgeable about the Holy Church, like the Ye family, no one would have imagined that the small ring in Teacher Li's hand would have the effect of locking blood.
However, he did not intend to tell the two the truth. After all, they did not know each other well. Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with Zhou Xi, what she said was only her side of the story. No one could say for sure whether she would betray him at a crucial moment. As for Zhao Ran, there was no need to mention him.
In return for kindness, and putting myself in their shoes, since they are not being honest with me, why should I reveal everything? I might as well take this opportunity to see their survival strategies, so that I can be prepared if we ever have to fight in the future.
"Teacher Li, are you joking? If we hadn't blocked that attack, we wouldn't have been half-dead." Suddenly, he waved and shouted at Teacher Li, who was gathering his attack in the distance.
"That's how I teach. You either survive a desperate situation or you perish in it. If the next attack accidentally kills you all, then I'll have to report for duty and get punished," Teacher Li said casually.
"This madman..." Zhao Ran cursed under his breath, then lowered his head to think for a moment and said to the other two, "It seems that negotiation is not going to work. According to Teacher Li, the main thing we need to decide now is whether to fight it out or run away."
Having said that, the magic book in Zhao Ran's hand was now emitting a soft glow, indicating that it had been fully charged.
Zhao Ran closed the magic book in his hand and said, "I wonder what kind of magic Teacher Li used."
“This is a fourth-tier spell – Red Dragon Breath,” Zhou Xi said from the side.
"Fourth tier?" Zhao Ran looked at her in shock. "What else is there to say, brothers? Does he have a grudge against the Wood Element Academy and want to use this opportunity to kill us?" After saying that, he showed a look of utter despair.
"Teacher Li won't say anything more. If he only used the strength of a third-tier dying counterattack, then the power of this spell should be at the peak of the third tier, just reaching the fourth tier." Qi Yu reached out and patted Zhao Hou on the back before speaking.
“Yes, a normal fourth-tier Dragon Breath Technique should be a complete fire dragon from head to tail.” Zhou Xi said, pointing to the ferocious dragon head opposite him: “But this only has one head, so it shouldn’t be fourth-tier.”
"What should we do, brothers? Are we really going to have to tough it out? What if we have to run away?" Zhao Ran asked with a bitter expression.
Hearing this, Qi Yu pointed to the fiery red light shield surrounding them and said, "You can't run far, and if I'm not mistaken, this spell should be a wide-area attack spell, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Xi beside him.
The latter nodded and said, "Yes, this is the magic created by Dean Chen, the Eternal Sun, when he fought a red dragon. It was created based on the dragon's attack and naturally imitated its wide-range attack distance."
Hearing this, Qi Yu nodded and praised, "Not bad, you know a lot. Is this knowledge from your inheritance?"
Zhou Xi shook his head and said, "This is the content of Chapter 56 of 'A Brief History of Elements'."
After saying that, Zhou Xi paused and said with a hint of reluctance, "If you're interested, I can lend it to you when we get back."
"Alright, let's stop for a moment. We can talk about studying when we get back." Seeing the two chatting so enthusiastically, Zhao Ran quickly interrupted, "How about we deal with the things in front of us first? If we can't run away, then we'll just have to tough it out."
Seeing that the two remained silent and couldn't come up with any other good ideas, Zhao Ran could only sigh helplessly and say, "Come on, brothers, let's not hold back anymore. If we don't show our true strength, the outcome won't be good."
As he spoke, Zhao Ran raised the magic book in his hand, which was radiating a soft glow, and said, "After my book is fully charged, it can project a portion of the power of 'Mother' at the cost of sealing itself, but only once, and the power is about the initial stage of the third rank."
When he described the effects of the spellbook in his hand, Qi Yu's pupils dilated slightly in surprise, because he had seen a similar effect on the legendary weapon "Mother's Grace" in the library.
Compared to the book that can fully unleash the power of the Plantagenet, his book is at best a censored version. Even so, this book shouldn't only be able to unleash the power of a mere third tier.
Thinking this, Qi Yu used the system to appraise the book in his hand. To his surprise, what appeared before him was not the item's information, but a system notification:
"Ding! System identification failed. You are unable to uncover the 'secret' held by the 'voyeur'."
Seeing this, Qi Yu was slightly taken aback, then thought, "The Spy Who Knows the Secrets? Isn't that his title? His title has this effect? It can even prevent my system's identification?"
There's a problem, definitely a problem. But we're on the same side now, so there's no need to dwell on these things. Considering everything that's happened before, he felt that Zhao Ran was becoming increasingly untrustworthy.
So he asked tentatively, "Tier 3, beginner level? Even if 'Mother's' power is only a part, it shouldn't only be Tier 3, beginner level, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ran adopted a helpless posture: "The power is determined by the user's magic power. My own strength is at the early stage of the third rank, so the power I can unleash is naturally at the early stage of the third rank."
Hearing this airtight statement, Qi Yu didn't sense any flaws that could connect it to the Moon Worship Sect, so he shook his head calmly: "The initial stage of the third tier is practically worthless. Don't tell me that's all your real strength is?"
"Although his power is only at the early stage of the third tier, his attack method is the 'Mother's' attack. In any case, the spell level is higher than that of the red dragon's breath. If Zhou Xi can release another powerful spell, we might not be able to withstand it."
As Zhao Ran pointed to his calligraphy in defense, he glanced at Zhou Xi, who, sensing their gazes, shook his head slightly and said:
"Such a powerful spell requires a long chanting time. Judging from the speed at which she absorbs fire elements, she won't give me that much time at all."
As he spoke, Zhou Xi waved his staff and said, "Besides, I just used a wide-range attack spell, and my mana is already depleted. It will take time to recover by drinking medicine."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ran and Zhou Xi both turned to look at Qi Yu. Qi Yu looked around and then asked, "What? My spells are all melee. You don't mean you want me to face that dragon head head-on, do you?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said, "Qi Yu, as a melee mage, I don't believe you don't have equipment or items to increase your defense. You just need to hold on for a while and buy Zhou Xi time to recover mana and cast spells. I will also use spells to help you."
Hearing this, Qi Yu slapped his hand away and said, "If you want me to die, just say so. You want me to take the hit alone, when an attack that can kill three people instantly is capable of killing three people?"
As he spoke, Qi Yu pointed at the fire dragon head and said with an unfriendly look, "Even if I have defensive equipment, I'm still facing this attack head-on. My mortality rate is obviously higher than yours, which involves ranged attacks, right? How about I give you my equipment, you take the hits, and I'll provide cover for you?"
