Facing the shepherd's attack, Kael was prepared at first. But soon, he discovered that the shepherd was not attacking so much as testing and blocking.
The shepherd's test was different from other people's test before. His test was more to confirm whether Kael had the power of wind.
Countless blue flowers floated in mid-air. These flowers, which looked like roses, rotated and swayed as they came to Kael's side.
As the flower flew, it gradually began to tremble, as if it was already foretelling what was about to happen. As the flower approached Kael, it trembled even more, as if there was surging energy inside that was eager to be liberated.
Finally, around Kael, a large number of flowers reached their trembling peak. With a rumbling sound, the flowers all exploded...or, in other words, disintegrated.
The disintegration of the flower brought countless petals, which were like sharp blades, striking Kael with high frequency.
This attack is not very strong, but it is very annoying. It is like mosquitoes constantly buzzing around your ears. It does not have a serious impact on you, but it can make you upset.
In the face of this kind of attack, the best way to deal with it is to ignore it. But Shepherd seems to have some musical skills. He increased the hissing sound produced when the petals cut through the air, and by adjusting the audio frequency,
The constant provocation of the tense heartstrings in Kael's heart aggravated this uneasy feeling.
If you ignore it at this time, it will affect your subsequent performance.
How to deal with these petals became Kael's current problem.
Kael understood what the shepherd meant. The reason why the shepherd used this harassment tactic, rather than attacking directly, was actually to test whether he had mastered the power of wind.
As the shepherd himself said before: Since Kael is unwilling to answer, he will test it himself.
If Kal-El had mastered the power of wind, then the simplest method would be what the alchemy puppet did before: strong wind transforming into weak wind.
As long as Kael arranges a layer of strong wind around him, he can easily transform these weak petals into weak wind.
And this method of arranging a layer of wind around the body is not even a magic trick for wind apprentices. It can only be said to be a basic application of the power of wind.
Therefore, if Kael chooses to use other methods to crack the wind of these petals, it will basically reveal that he does not know the power of wind.
The shepherd made it so complicated just to prove this conclusion.
Although Kael understood the shepherd's intention, he really didn't understand why the shepherd had to confirm whether he had mastered the power of the wind?
In such a high-pressure battle, isn't it unnecessary to prove such a worthless conclusion?
Kael hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to call the alchemy puppet back. After all, the one who truly possesses the power of wind is the speed spirit hidden in the alchemy puppet.
But for some reason, when Kael tried to contact Su Ling through the device in the alchemy puppet, Su Ling did not respond.
Kael looked at the alchemy puppet in confusion and found that the four black-faced sheep had turned into four terrifying whirlpools, surrounding the speed spirit.
Su Ling was trapped by those four black-faced sheep?
However, isn't Speed Spirit an elemental creature close to the official wizard level? Why was it trapped by four black-faced sheep of unknown origin?
When Kael was suspicious, the wind of petals around him became more and more dense, and the hissing sound made him feel more and more irritable.
After hesitating for a while, Kael chose to use the space defense technique to resist the wind of these petals.
Among the various defense arts, only the defense arts of the space system are level three magic, because the power of space is not as easy to master as other elements, and once the power of space is out of control, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, the defense skills of the space system,
It is the only third-level magic trick among defensive techniques of the same level. The defense strength may not be the highest, but it is definitely the most difficult to perform.
At this time, Kael used the space defense technique, which gave people the feeling of killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.
However, this was also intentional by Kael.
It's not that he doesn't know other defense techniques. The reason why he chose the most difficult space defense technique is purely bluffing.
Anyway, if he uses any other defensive technique, the shepherd will judge that he cannot use the power of wind, so he will simply use the most difficult space defensive technique.
There is a deliberately rebellious meaning: I see through your purpose, but I just don't act according to your script.
Kael didn't know whether the shepherd would be blinded by this bluff, but it was always a coping strategy. Besides, even if the shepherd saw through his thoughts, it didn't matter.
It's not a big deal if he just shows that he doesn't know the power of wind.
He hesitated to answer before, just out of embarrassment. Because things like "wizard-level alchemy puppets" cannot be mastered at the apprenticeship stage. As long as it is exposed, it can be determined that this is a method given by an official wizard.
Even though everyone has extraneous means, the help that Guiying or Fenmo on the other side receives is still within the scope of apprenticeship. It is really a bit difficult for him to directly use official wizard-level extraneous means to participate in the apprentice's duel.
Too exaggerated.
For this reason, he did not answer the shepherd's question before.
But since the alchemy puppet can end, it means that the wise master has recognized that it complies with the rules of duel. Therefore, if it is really exposed, nothing will happen.
The shepherd was really startled by Kael's contrary behavior.
However, the shepherd quickly came to his senses, shook his head secretly, and looked at Kael with some amusement, as if to tell Kael that he had seen through these tricks.
Kael was not affected by the shepherd's attitude. As he said, he didn't think it was a big deal; the reason why he took a detour and deliberately rebelled was just because he didn't want the shepherd to get the proof so easily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kael is more concerned about the speed of the spirit than being seen through by the shepherd.
Why does Su Ling have no feedback at all? What did those four black-faced sheep do to Su Ling?
Kael was very worried about something going wrong with Speedling. He knew very well how precious elemental creatures were in the Southern Territory. If something happened, he couldn't afford to pay compensation.
Thinking of this, Kael used the space defense technique and flew in the direction of Speed Spirit.
Kael did not consider at all at this moment that Speed Spirit was an almost wizard-level existence. If something happened to it, Kael would not be able to help even if he rushed over.
On the other side, the shepherd now knows that there is a high probability that Kael will not use the power of wind, but he has not yet proven where the previous power of wind came from. Was it cast by the alchemy puppet?
The reason why the shepherd cares so much about this answer is because those winds... are very different.
The shepherds also have their own secrets, and those winds seem to be somehow consistent with their own secrets?
Therefore, before reaching a conclusion, the shepherd would naturally not let Kael disturb the four little ones.
The shepherd quickly caught up with Kael. This time, he did not use the power of the wind, but directly blocked Kael. With the bonus of the power of the wind, the shepherd was extremely fast and easily stopped Kael.
They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Kael knew that this close encounter was inevitable.
…
At the same time, outside the arena, Doakes approached Angel again.
"Do you know what I want to do most right now?"
Angel: "???" What do you want to do, and what does it have to do with me?
Doakes clenched his fists and stared at the shepherd on the arena with a fierce look on his face: "I want to beat that guy hard once."
If it were before, Vai would definitely complain at this time: "Are you envious of him, or jealous of him?"
But now that Vai is gone, and Angel doesn't want to say anything, Doakes can only say to himself: "Because that guy did something treasonous!"
Angel glanced at Doakes suspiciously. The shepherd seemed to be behaving well, and there was nothing treasonous about it, right?
Seeing that Angel finally paid attention to him, Doakes said quickly: "He actually summoned four such ugly sheep!"
Those four black-faced sheep? Angel looked at them carefully. From his aesthetic point of view, the black-faced sheep were not ugly. They looked like sheep overall, with fluffy and naturally curly hair, pure white and flawless, except for their faces.
The head is black.
Even though their faces are darkened, it does not make them look ugly. On the contrary, because of the color, it covers the protruding sheep noses, making their faces look flat, furry and cute.
Moreover, this color scheme reminded Angel of a cat from Earth he saw on a holographic tablet, which also gave him a somewhat subjective filter in his evaluation.
However, Angel did not refute Doakes. Everyone's aesthetics is different. His aesthetic taste may not be his own taste of ugliness. Therefore, he respects Doakes's opinion.
However, if you want to beat up the shepherd just because of the appearance of the black-faced sheep, is this a bit distorted in values?
While Angel was thinking this, Doakes continued: "The most important thing is that he actually gave these four ugly sheep such sinful names!"
Angel recalled that the shepherd seemed to have called the names of the four sheep before. They seemed to be: Black One, Black Two, Black Three, and Baby? How is this so sinful?
"The name itself is ugly, and it's not even symmetrical! Let's not talk about Black 1, Black 2, and Black 3. Shouldn't the last one be Black 4? Why does it become a baby? What is the connection between the baby and the previous ones?
?”
Listening to Doakes' accusation, and Doakes' impatient look, Angel had a guess in his mind:
Some patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will go crazy when they notice some disharmony. Only when everything follows the rules will they feel comfortable.
Could this be Doakes?
But Angel remembers that patients with this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder are very obsessed with order. Doakes himself doesn't actually follow order that much. He is bohemian and prefers freedom. Doesn't he look like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
At this time, a feeble voice came from the side: "Gold One, Gold Two, Gold Three, and Gold Four are the names of the group of sandworms he raised."
Angel turned around and found that the person speaking was Vai, who had been silent for a long time.
Vai's expression was still sad, and his face was still very pale, but at least his eyes were brighter than before.
As long as he doesn't mention what happened before, Vai should be able to recover slowly.
Angel: "I remember the sandworm he raised, wasn't it called Xiao Jin?"
Moreover, Doakes also owed Angel a little gold.
Vai: "Xiao Jin is just a nickname, and his official name is Jin San."
Hearing what Vai said, Angel understood a little bit. Doakes is an atypical patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He usually has no symptoms at all, but when he takes certain things seriously, he can't stand it.
He didn't think anything of it if his sandworms were named Gold One to Gold Four, and he didn't care if they had nicknames. But when he heard that other people's black-faced sheep were named Black One to Black Three, and they added another baby, he couldn't bear it.
Can't stand it any longer.
However, even if he understood it slightly, Angel still felt it was a bit ridiculous. Isn't it just a name? Maybe the baby itself has nothing to do with Black One to Black Three. It might have its own combination, such as "Beibei" or something.
of.
Just when Angel was thinking this, the shepherd on the stage suddenly shouted: "Heiyi, assist your brother, don't let that alchemy puppet break through the whirlpool!"
Angel: "..."
If we rank them according to the order in which the shepherd called their names before, Hei 1 is the boss and the baby is the fourth. But now, the shepherd calls Hei 1 the assistant brother? Brother? In other words, the baby is the boss? Then what did you just say?
Why did you call me baby last?
Angel's head was full of question marks.
He glanced at Doakes next to him, who had already gritted his teeth.
At this time, Angel finally understood Doakes's mood. Because his hands were also a little itchy...
"Angel, what's going on with your speed?" The Black Earl's voice sounded in the psychic belt at the right time, instantly eliminating the increasingly anxious atmosphere in the psychic belt.
Angel: "I don't know."
Doakes also turned his head at this time and said: "Isn't it your elemental partner? Why don't you even know about it?"
Angel looked at the calm-looking Doakes silently. Didn't he still shout and kill before? How could he change his face so quickly?
Angel shrugged: "Maybe it's because those little guys are cuter, right?"
Angel knew what the Black Earl and Doakes meant. Su Ling was surrounded by the four black-faced sheep and never came out. This situation was very strange.
Not to mention them, even Angel himself was confused.
When Kael contacted Su Ling before, Angel also sensed it, but Su Ling didn't respond to Kael, which was also very strange.
Angel initially thought that Su Ling was in danger, but through the connection of the contract and the talent of super-perception, Angel was sure that nothing happened to Su Ling.
But why Su Ling didn't come out from being surrounded by those black-faced sheep even though he was fine... Angel didn't know.
After all, Suling is just his subordinate, not a true elemental partner.
