Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems
Chapter 467: The Shocked Third Circle Wizards
After observing, the Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council suddenly said, "That young lady Diana's cultivated laurel tree person seems to have Second Circle characteristics. The fragrance of its osmanthus flowers can naturally gather surrounding magical energy to form ice magic."
"This young lady has quite a deep understanding of the special Grand Magic within Second Circle magic. But what's even more terrifying is that she can actually integrate this understanding into the magical plants she cultivates."
"Diana should be very close to becoming a Second Circle wizard."
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council said with admiration, "Our academy's Academy of True Knowledge is also very interested in this witch. That laurel tree person, even if it can't compare to Edgar's life ancient tree, is still extremely outstanding."
The one hundred thirty wizards present couldn't help but nod. The life ancient tree was a powerful ancient tree person, so although the laurel tree person was very excellent, it still couldn't compare to the life ancient tree.
But even so, the competition wasn't about rankings, but about skill levels.
Witch Diana could create a powerful new tree person variety from nothing, already proving her abilities to the major wizard forces. Naturally, quite a few wizard academies and Origin Academies would take notice of her.
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council glanced at the third-place Witch Yennefer from the Spiral Basin and her Mushroom King. That Sureyas legion had eight mages driving a massive mushroom. As that giant mushroom slowly advanced, it released mushroom sub-units to launch attacks toward the Mekani people's steel bodies.
The mycelium engaged in battle with the Mekani people's artillery and actually didn't fall at a disadvantage.
"Not bad either." The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council nodded with satisfaction. "The quality of this year's contestants is indeed quite high."
"Then let's take a look at the wizard team from the Land of Six Towers that you favor, Wizard John. I really want to see what those people from the Land of Six Towers can come up with... Hmm?"
Wizard John had originally frowned with displeasure, about to say that the other party was just a young person he had fate with and that he hadn't particularly valued him. Who knew that at this moment, the viewing hall's dome screen displayed images of Sureyas Unit 3.
Moreover, the True Sight Orbs at this moment placed most of their footage entirely on Sureyas Unit 3.
The Cloud Marsh Cup's crystals would concentrate footage on certain legions based on different performances.
After all, this was a commercial competition, so naturally aesthetics had to be considered.
If in the footage your legion was being badly beaten by the Mekani people, then just cutting in a few shots was enough. There was no need to show viewers such things.
But if your legion performed well, then it was exactly the opposite. The True Sight Orbs would place most filming resources on your legion. This was both for aesthetics and because most wizards who chose to pay to watch only cared about these magical plants with excellent performance.
At this time, the True Sight Orbs concentrated 80% of filming resources on Unit 3 commanded by Locke. This represented that the system behind the True Sight Orbs judged that at this time, the work from the Land of Six Towers by Locke Augustine had better performance in battle.
This caught the attention of the five Third Circle wizards and the remaining one hundred twenty-five wizards.
Because generally speaking, only in situations of absolute advantage would the True Sight Orbs invest over 80% of filming resources on one contestant. But this competition had the life ancient tree person and laurel tree person, these two heaven-defying works.
The third place's Mushroom King was also a very mature work.
But even so, the system behind the True Sight Orbs still placed most filming resources on the team commanded by one contestant.
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wizard John and said, "This system is your Root Crown Court's work. What did you do, Wizard John?"
Wizard John frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly tamper with a competition like the Cloud Marsh Cup? That young person isn't even my relative."
"Nor is he my student's offspring."
"Behind the Cloud Marsh Cup are various competition sports betting in Cloud Marsh Wetland. The economic scale is enormous, and the interests involved are extremely widespread. Even a Third Circle wizard wouldn't dare play dirty tricks in such a competition."
"Do you think I want to harvest magic stones from those who bet on the Cloud Marsh Cup?"
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council was stunned. "That's true too."
"The betting outside the competition is also quite interesting. I've already put in some magic stones betting on Edgar and Witch Diana. This way, no matter which of them wins, I can make money."
Wizard John glanced at him. "Boring."
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council's gaze froze. "This is..."
The five Third Circle wizards immediately focused their gazes on the dome screen.
The eight mages of Sureyas Unit 3 each had eight layers of plant magic shields appear on their bodies. This meant that when the Mekani people's missiles fell on them, it was like scratching an itch. They didn't even need to dodge.
These eight Sureyas mages were all wrapped in magical vines that looked like rusty iron chains. Countless iron chains connected the eight people, forming a style different from the beautiful aesthetics common in Cloud Marsh Wetland.
But this delicate composition that could bring an unusual aesthetic impact made the wizards of Cloud Marsh Wetland feel it was quite good instead.
However, at this moment, he couldn't focus on aesthetic issues.
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council suddenly stood up. "Eight permanent defensive fields on each person? Are you kidding me?"
"That young fellow, could he be serious? With the research resources of the Land of Six Towers, he can create such a thing? He actually really can turn the fanciful content in the project application into reality."
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council's expression changed dramatically. "This absolutely cannot be a project from the Land of Six Towers. Absolutely impossible!"
Wizard John glanced at him, his lips slightly curved. "Whether it's possible or not, it's already appeared before you. It seems the outcome of the bet between you and me is already decided."
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council turned back and said, "What? When did we ever have a bet? When I criticized that young person, didn't you also not refute, tacitly agreeing that part of what I said was right?"
After all, he was a Third Circle wizard. This type of competition was extremely important in the eyes of First Circle wizards, but to them it was just small-scale stuff. The criticism in the eyes of the Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council toward Locke transformed into appreciation. "This really opened even my eyes. Using the resources of the Land of Six Towers, he can actually create such a thing."
"If he entered our Academy of True Knowledge, wouldn't he be even more formidable? I really want this person too."
Wizard John sneered and jabbed at him. "You want everything."
"According to the rules, each Academy of True Knowledge can only recruit one person from the top three. Among Diana, Locke, and Edgar, you can only choose one."
"You should choose Diana and Edgar that you've already bet on. Didn't you invest magic stones on them, betting they could win the championship?!"
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council shrugged. "Life is always full of surprises."
Dean Richie was already sitting upright. He pondered his chin with his fingers, thinking, "If permanent defensive fields can stack, then what magic would it take to break through? Eight defensive magics stacked?"
"Is there really magic in the First Circle that can break through?"
These words plunged the one hundred thirty wizards present into contemplation.
Dean Richie pointed out a fundamental difference between the magical plants cultivated by Locke and those cultivated by Wizard Edgar and Witch Diana.
That was practicality!
The life ancient tree was very good, with extremely powerful recovery capabilities. Each attack of the laurel tree person had the rudiments of Grand Magic and was extremely powerful.
But these two types of magical plants, one tracing ancient tree people and one creating powerful modern tree people, neither was good enough to make all plant wizards choose them without thinking.
But the Hydra magical plant that Locke cultivated was different.
It had the potential to completely change the history of First Circle stage tactical magical plants in the wizard world.
Dean Richie glanced at everyone and didn't say what was in his heart. "This young person is very good at pulling in projects. Previously investigated his background, very ordinary. But relying on himself to pull projects and do projects, he can actually create such things."
"Someone so good at pulling projects, our Bonifacius University cannot miss either. We may not even need him to enter the Academy of True Knowledge. He could directly enter my Bonifacius University and immediately be given a distinguished professorship."
