Chapter 652: Water God Against Fire God

Chen Dao had completely turned into a human firing platform after transforming, frantically throwing out fire spells as if they were nothing from his two-handed staff. It was like a violent volcano erupting, and the entire arena was turned into a sea of flames.

The fire spells that Chen Dao wielded were all high-ranked. It was both because of his high intelligence attribute and the advantages that the Fire God talent brought. No one was surprised when they were sparring against him. Flame spells focused on attacking, and were incredibly strong offensively, so it suited Chen Dao’s personality.

After Thomas turned into a blue body of energy, he started to float in the air as countless whirlpools of water formed around him. It had blocked numerous fire spells. In contrast to the violent fire element, the water element was gentler, and represented recovery.

It was obvious that Thomas’s offensive powers could not compare to Chen Dao, but the water shields that he created had incredibly restorative powers. Even if it were Xiao Lin, he would not dare to compete against Chen Dao’s Pyroblast without activating Ruin, but in just a short minute, Thomas had at least faced three of four of Chen Dao’s Pyroblasts head on, and each time the water shields were dissipated, Thomas would immediately pour more magic into it. The shields were unending, and vast like the sea.

If the Fire God talent was the strongest offensive transformation, then the Water God talent was the strongest defensive shield. In the battle of the spear and the shield, no one could anticipate the final victor.

“Chen Dao can’t sustain his explosiveness for too long, right?”

“We’ve seen it in training. He still isn’t too familiar with his talent, so it will be troublesome if they were to stall for time.”

“Thomas is quite strong. He doesn’t seem to be using his full might.”

“Thomas is probably trying to stall. They are both S-rank talent holders, so the duration they can maintain it for should be the same. If the talent ends, then Thomas will definitely win if he has been exerting less energy.”

The spectators could not help but worry for Chen Dao as his opponent was clearly stalling. Based on their training, Chen Dao could only maintain his Fire God talent for around 90 seconds, so it seemed to be approaching the end.

Sensing Chen Dao’s diminishing strength, Thomas had started to attack while he was defending. The water vortexes around him suddenly formed two pillars of water, shaping into a sharp arrow of water before shooting straight at Chen Dao. Chen Dao’s perception immediately caught that sneak attack. Even though it was just a low-ranked water arrow, under the Water God talent, the power could not be underestimated.

Chen Dao could not help but use a portion of his magic to shoot out a flame ball at the water arrow, but his offensive power had also diminished by quite a bit. Even though it happened in just a few seconds, Thomas still grasped it, and the easing up of the pressure had allowed Thomas to unleash an even more intense attack. This time, he used Waterspout, a Silver-ranked spell.

The Waterspout surged forward and the sea of flames was forcibly parted. Thomas casted his spells very quickly, causing Chen Dao to be forced to throw the flaming dragon he had been aiming at Thomas to block the Waterspout.

“Chen Dao’s lost his tempo!” Xiao Lin furrowed his eyebrows. Thomas might not have used any shocking spells so far, but the fact that Thomas was able to hold back Chen Dao’s furious onslaught and even seize the chance to attack was very shocking. It was not a good omen, and the spectators could only give Chen Dao a silent prayer in their hearts, praying that the guy was able to adapt to his talent with all his training, so he would not end his Fire God too quickly.

Boom!

Constant explosions erupted in the sea of flames, and the fires had obstructed everyone’s views. After over ten seconds, the explosions suddenly stopped, and the entire arena was quiet. When the flames parted, Chen Dao was kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. He seemed to be in a state of exhaustion — a clear sign of overtaxing his mental strength.

His Fire God talent had already ended, and Dawn Academy’s participants could not help but sigh in their hearts as their expressions fell. Even though Thomas had also undone his Water God talent, even though Thomas was also panting, his breathing was not as erratic, which meant that the man still had enough left in the tank to end that match.

“Chen Dao has already done his best. His talent isn’t actually suited for individual fights. He needs a team to support him after his talent is used to perform better. The one who arranged the line-up should be taking responsibility!” Han Manman’s cold, mocking voice could be heard. The woman had been holding back for a few days, but she finally let out her words. After all, she had no horse in the race, and her words had a hidden meaning to them that anyone could hear: ‘If I was competing, I would definitely win!’

The others could not help but roll their eyes. The two opposing competitors had both been S-rank talent holders. Everyone knew Han Manman’s strength, no matter who she faced, her chances of winning would just be lower. Since Cheng Ming was not around at the moment, the others did not say anything.

“The match still hasn’t ended!” Xiao Lin remained emotionless. He looked at Chen Dao who was struggling to move. He muttered in his heart, ‘Chen Dao, surely you have more up your sleeve.’

The match was definitely not at an end yet. According to the rules, there are only three ways to determine a victor: surrendering, losing the ability to fight, or death.

Usually, death was very rare, and in unwinnable situations, the weaker side would forfeit. If the opponents refused to surrender, the match would usually end with making the other party faint.

However, Chen Dao might have been exhausted, he still did not surrender, and did not seem like he had completely lost the ability to fight, so the committee member did not announce the victor.

Thomas furrowed his eyebrows. He muttered something before he threw away his heaving staff, chanting quickly before condensing a long water arrow and slowly walking toward Chen Dao.

He planned on ending the match.
