The Rebirth of the God of Law: The Lord of the God Realm

Chapter 19 College Competition (3)

College Competition (Part 3)

The sun blazed fiercely over the arena, baking the entire competition area like a steamer. The spectators in the surrounding stands were oblivious, their gazes fixed on the two figures facing off in the center of the arena, too nervous to even breathe.

Carl frowned slightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. It wasn't the heat, but rather the sheer intensity of his opponent. His opponent was a burly student, clad in a thick suit of magical armor, intricately engraved with runes that shimmered mysteriously in the sunlight. From the start of the match until now, no matter what kind of attacking magic Carl unleashed, he had easily withstood it.

This student, skilled in defensive magic, stood firm before Carl like an impenetrable fortress. His face was expressionless, but his eyes shone with confidence and pride, as if challenging Carl: "You can't penetrate my defenses."

Carl knew full well that conventional offensive magic was useless against him. His mind quickly flashed through the countless magical circles he had studied in ancient texts. Those ancient patterns and obscure explanations became incredibly clear at that moment. He closed his eyes, searching through the treasure trove of his memory for a possible way to break through the enemy's defenses.

"Why isn't Carl moving? Has he given up?" The audience in the stands began to whisper.

"Impossible, he must be thinking of a way." Carl's friends firmly believed that he would not give up easily.

Leo clenched his fists tightly and stared at the field nervously: "Karl, you can do it."

Just as everyone was puzzled, Carl suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them. He raised his wand and began to quickly draw a magic circle in the air. The magic crystal at the tip of the wand emitted a dazzling light. As he moved, the light left a series of bright trails in the air, which gradually intertwined to form a complex and mysterious magic circle.

"Hmph, you want to use the magic circle to break through my defense? Wishful thinking." The defensive opponent sneered disdainfully, but a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Carl ignored his taunts and continued to chant. Ancient spells emanated from his mouth, like mysterious musical notes dancing in the air. As the spells continued to flow, the magic circle's light grew stronger and stronger. Lights from various elements began to appear within the magic circle, interweaving and merging to form a powerful force.

"Go!" Carl shouted, pushing the magic circle towards his opponent. The magic circle was like a huge colorful disk, spinning and flying towards the opponent. Wherever it passed, the air was squeezed and whistled.

The defensive opponent didn't dare to be careless. He concentrated his magic power and strengthened his own defense. The runes on the magic armor around him shone brightly, forming layer after layer of transparent shields. These shields overlapped each other like a thousand-layer pancake, tightly protecting him.

The magic circle collided with the shield, emitting a deafening roar. Lights collided and squeezed each other, illuminating the entire arena with this intense energy wave. The audience was blinded by the dazzling light and shielded their eyes with their hands.

"Come on, Carl!" Ellie couldn't help but shout.

The magic circle and the shield were at a stalemate. Carl gritted his teeth and increased his magic output. His face was slightly distorted by the effort, but his eyes were determined. He knew this was a perfect opportunity to break through the opponent's defense. If he missed it, there might be no chance again.

With Carl's full force, the magic circle's power gradually gained the upper hand. The elemental energy within the magic circle began to seep into the cracks in the shield, like a trickle gradually converging into a raging torrent. Cracks began to appear in the shield, and those cracks spread rapidly across it like a shattered spider web.

"No!" the defensive opponent screamed in horror. He tried to repair his shield, but it was too late.

With a loud bang, the shield finally shattered, and the power of the magic circle rushed directly towards the opponent. The opponent was sent flying by the powerful impact and fell heavily to the ground.

"Carl wins!" The referee's voice rang out over the arena.

The audience was stunned at first, and then broke into thunderous applause and cheers.

"That's great, Carl!"

“He actually did it, it’s incredible!”

Carl breathed a weary sigh of relief and walked off the arena, where he was immediately surrounded by his companions.

"Carl, you were so awesome just now! How did you come up with the idea of using that magic circle?" Leo asked excitedly.

"I've seen similar records in ancient books. After some modifications and adjustments, I didn't expect it to be successful." Carl replied with a smile.

The moment Carl broke through his opponent's defense, he suddenly sensed a unique energy fluctuation. This fluctuation, hidden within the opponent's defensive magic, was subtle and yet it sent a sudden jolt through his heart. It was a familiar fluctuation that made his heart beat faster. It was exactly the same protective power fluctuation he had encountered while exploring a mysterious cave in his previous life.

At that time, he was in that mysterious cave, surrounded by darkness, with only the occasional flicker of strange light on the wall illuminating the path ahead. When he touched an ancient seal deep in the cave, a powerful protective force emerged. The fluctuations of that power were just as mysterious and powerful as what he was feeling now.

Carl's eyes grew deeper as he realized that there were still many unknown secrets in the world waiting for him to uncover. These secrets were like invisible nets that enveloped the entire magical world, and he had only accidentally touched one of the threads.

"Carl, what's wrong with you? You look like you have something on your mind." Ellie noticed that something was wrong with Carl.

"Nothing, it's just that this competition gave me some new ideas." Carl came back to his senses and said with a smile.

As the competition progressed, Carl became the center of attention. The other contestants were wary of him, and the teachers were amazed at his performance. Discussions about Carl could be heard in every corner of the academy.

"The strength that Carl showed in this competition was truly amazing. His understanding and application of magic has exceeded our imagination." A teacher said to his colleagues in the teachers' lounge.

"Yes, he must have had extraordinary opportunities and hard work to have grown to this point in such a short period of time." Another teacher nodded in agreement.

In the following games, Carl encountered opponents who made targeted preparations for him, but Carl relied on his rich knowledge and strong adaptability to overcome danger time and time again.

During one match, Carl's opponent was a student skilled in summoning magic. As soon as he entered the arena, he summoned a group of ferocious magical creatures, including winged lions, leopards ablaze with flames, and giant pythons that spewed poisonous mist. These magical creatures pounced on Carl with bared fangs and claws, their roars deafening as if they were about to tear him to pieces.

Carl calmly observed these magical creatures and quickly cast a range control spell. With a wave of his wand, golden runes appeared on the surrounding ground. These runes radiated powerful magic, restricting the movements of the magical creatures to a certain range.

"Trying to trap my magical creatures with this little trick?" the opponent taunted. He cast his magic again, trying to increase the power of the magical creatures and let them break free from the constraints of the runes.

Carl didn't respond. He continued to cast his magic. He added an elemental transformation spell to his control magic. He transformed the surrounding air element into water element. Instantly, a large amount of water surged from the air, drowning the magical creatures. The magical creatures struggled in the water, their strength greatly weakened.

"This... How is this possible?" The opponent widened his eyes in surprise.

Carl seized the opportunity to launch an attack, casting a spell that combined the elements of thunder and fire. Bolts of lightning and flames intertwined, blasting towards the magical creatures. Under the powerful attack, the magical creatures were injured one after another, and some even disappeared.

"Don't be so complacent!" His opponent, enraged, cast a powerful summoning spell, summoning a gigantic three-headed demon dog. The three-headed demon dog was enormous, each head capable of unleashing a different type of attack. It charged towards Carl, the ground trembling beneath its footsteps.

Facing such a formidable foe, Carl showed no fear. He took a deep breath and cast a new spell—Elemental Clone. Several clones composed of different elements appeared around his body and charged toward the three-headed demon dog, engaging it in a fierce battle.

While his clone was fighting the three-headed demon dog, Carl was looking for the opponent's weakness. He found that every time the three-headed demon dog launched an attack, the opponent needed to concentrate on controlling it, and at this time his defense would have a brief loophole.

Carl seized the opportunity and cast a powerful attack spell - Starfall. Countless glittering stars appeared in the sky and smashed down towards his opponent and the three-headed demon dog.

"Not good!" The opponent panicked and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The falling star's force was so immense that it enveloped both the three-headed demon dog and the opponent. In a burst of dazzling light and a roaring sound, the opponent was defeated.

"Carl wins!" The referee's voice sounded again, and the audience cheered for Carl's wonderful performance again.

In another match, Carl's opponent was a student who was good at mental magic. At the beginning of the match, Carl felt an invisible force trying to invade his brain. It was the opponent's mental attack.

Carl quickly cast a mental shield to protect his brain, but the opponent's mental magic was very powerful, and the mental shield began to fluctuate under the attack.

"Your mental shield can't withstand me." The opponent said proudly, and he increased the intensity of his mental attack.

Carl closed his eyes and concentrated. He recalled his past life's experience of facing mental attacks. At the same time, he combined his magic power with his mental power to strengthen his mental shield.

"Humph, it's not that easy to break through my mental shield." Carl snorted in his heart.

After resisting his opponent's mental attack, Carl began to counterattack. He cast a special mental spell - Mind Piercing. He concentrated his mental power into a sharp spear and stabbed it into his opponent's mental world.

The opponent sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but the speed of the mind piercing was too fast. The spear pierced directly into the opponent's spiritual world, causing him to suffer severe damage.

"Ah!" The opponent screamed in pain, his mental defenses collapsing instantly.

Carl took the opportunity to cast a simple binding spell to trap his opponent.

"Carl wins!" the referee announced.

With each victory, Carl edged closer to the ultimate championship. His performance in the competitions became a legend within the academy, inspiring countless students to diligently study magic. But Carl wasn't carried away by victory. He knew that each victory was merely a new starting point in his exploration of the magical world, and that the secrets hidden behind magic were his true purpose.

During a break in a competition, Carl went alone to the academy's library. He wandered through the shelves, searching for books that might be related to the mysterious energy fluctuations. His eyes were filled with persistence and longing, like a traveler searching for light in the darkness.

"There must be some clue here." Carl muttered to himself, his hands running over the ancient books, hoping to find the key to open the secret door.

On the other side of the academy, the student who was good at defensive magic and was defeated by Carl in the competition was also thinking about the scene when Carl broke through his defense.

"How on earth did he do it? The power of that magic circle shouldn't be so strong. And that special energy fluctuation, is he related to some mysterious force?" The defensive opponent was full of doubts, and he decided to find Carl to find out after the competition.

Under Carl's influence, the entire academy fell into a mysterious and enthusiastic atmosphere. Both students and teachers were looking forward to what amazing moves Carl would make in the next competition, and were also full of curiosity about the secrets hidden deep in the magical world.

Carl searched the library for a long time before finally finding a tattered book. The moment he opened it, his eyes lit up, as he saw some of the contents that seemed to connect with the mysterious energy fluctuations he had sensed. He eagerly began to read, hoping to find more clues that would help him uncover the mysteries of this magical world.
