At this time, the judges saw the eight layers of permanent defensive fields on the eight wizards of Sureyas Unit 3, and were all very surprised.

With the protection of eight layers of permanent defensive fields, defensive magic impossible to break through in the First Circle stage, Unit 3 advanced as if entering uninhabited territory. Whether it was ammunition coverage or visual range attacks, there was no way at all to deal with the Sureyas people who had eight layers of permanent defensive fields.

The entire Unit 3 rapidly charged toward Cloud Lake to attack the steel fortress hiding below Cloud Lake.

In the judges' section, the Third Circle wizards also engaged in intense discussion. Four Third Circle wizards immediately shifted their attention from first and second place and began paying attention to the originally extremely unlikely to win sixth place, Locke Augustine from the Land of Six Towers.

Even Witch Yekaterina, who had maintained a cold attitude throughout, furrowed her brow and took another look at the screen dome, at Locke who was in the rear commanding the Sureyas people in using the Hydra magical plant.

Witch Yekaterina, who had remained silent throughout, spoke, "It's unfortunate that those Sureyas people's permanent defensive fields are crude. Otherwise, the power of Contestant 6's tactical magical plant would increase by another fold out of thin air."

"As long as the usage method is slightly optimized, the eight-fold permanent defensive field deployed by that magical plant called Hydra can be expanded to protect the entire force."

"Those Sureyas people are dragging down this magical plant."

Witch Yekaterina flipped through the materials and immediately frowned. "Hmm? The maximum number of stackable permanent defensive fields for this magical plant is nine?"

Immediately all the wizards looked toward Witch Yekaterina.

The wizards were almost going crazy.

Stacking nine permanent defensive fields?

Was this the ultimate turtle shell?

This type of magical plant had already exceeded its own significance as a First Circle stage magical plant. Its appearance could even greatly strengthen First Circle stage plant wizards, allowing First Circle stage plant wizards using this type of magical plant to obtain abilities that wizards of other magic categories couldn't achieve.

It could even greatly elevate the status of plant wizards in the First Circle stage.

Witch Yekaterina nodded and said, "This wizard is indeed a very promising person."

She took another look at Locke in the image, slightly frowning. There was a feeling about Locke that was very familiar to her, which naturally gave her a sense of closeness.

'Hmm?' Witch Yekaterina thought, 'This sense of closeness... is the Third Circle level true dragon bloodline in my body, the ancient red dragon, acting up.'

'Could it be that young person has a true dragon level bloodline in his body? But that shouldn't be possible. Not to mention that's something a First Circle wizard cannot obtain, combining true dragon level bloodlines with human wizards has always been the experimental domain of the Third Circle stage.'

'Moreover, even if he really has a true dragon bloodline given to him by another high circle wizard in his body, that's just a foreign bloodline transplanted later. The true dragon bloodline in my body would only be enraged and want to kill him.' Witch Yekaterina tapped the armrest of her chair with her fingers. 'But now I'm developing a natural protective psychology toward him. This is the psychology of the true dragon race caring for young dragons.'

'If that's the case...'

Witch Yekaterina thought coldly.

For a long time, the dragon blood in her body had troubled her. The Third Circle level true dragon bloodline was too powerful, even threatening to usurp the host, wanting to control her body in reverse, making her become a complete red dragon and completely abandon the wizard part.

The power of the Third Circle level true dragon bloodline was like the divine godhood of true gods recorded in the classics, difficult to extinguish, difficult to kill.

Even if destroyed, the true dragon bloodline could revive and return from concept.

This caused Yekaterina to fall into a thorny predicament. This could be viewed as the side effect produced by that experiment back then.

Success through true dragons, failure through true dragons.

Just as the judges in the judges' section were discussing the suddenly appeared Hydra magical plant, the relevant viewing audience of the Cloud Marsh Cup competition engaged in intense discussion.

At this time in Cloud Marsh Wetland, large numbers of breeders and plant wizards were watching this magical plant.

In the viewing halls of major universities, after the initial shock, those plant wizards had only one thought left, could they also have such a magical plant?

Although this type of magical plant clearly couldn't be used by an individual wizard alone, as long as they cooperated with friends, they could use this magical plant to stack the most powerful magic of First Circle wizards, the permanent defensive field.

This temptation was really too great.

A First Circle liquefaction stage wizard from Bonifacius University looked at the competition footage, "I wonder how many years later this magical plant that debuted in the competition can be bought on the market."

"I also want this magical plant called Hydra."

A female senior breeder beside him showed a bitter smile. "Wait another twenty years. The first batch of orders for this type of magical plant will definitely be snatched up by major academies."

"By the time we individuals can freely purchase it, at least twenty years will have passed."

"Moreover, if we encounter a breeder who doesn't want to sell large quantities of this magical plant, we might have to wait even longer, even until someone cracks the Hydra magical plant's seed retention sealing magic to obtain the Hydra magical plant's seeds."

"However, our Bonifacius University should be among the first batch of wizard organizations to purchase this magical plant, so I think what we have should already be enough."

Similar discussions, such scenes, were happening throughout Cloud Marsh Wetland.

In the Cloud Marsh Market, a Second Circle wizard who ran a chain of cultivation room shops had already run to the Mithril Law Firm with a bunch of disciples, designating a First Circle contract master to create a contract.

Hussein saw that stingy Second Circle wizard come to his door again, this time actually bringing a whole bunch of people. He was immediately frightened, thinking he was coming to cause trouble. Only after asking clearly did he realize this stingy Second Circle wizard hadn't come to force him to work.

He looked at the contract the other party requested to draft. "Ah? Locke Augustine?"

The stingy Second Circle wizard smiled. "That's right. A very interesting magical plant appeared in this Cloud Marsh Cup. Draft the contract for me. I want to immediately find him after the competition to discuss and obtain exclusive agency rights."

Hussein secretly twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, "No, your idea is very difficult to succeed."

He had seen Locke's face when negotiating business with people.

This stingy Second Circle wizard wanted to take advantage of Locke?

That wasn't very likely.

The stingy Second Circle wizard looked at Hussein puzzled and said, "What did you say? Oh right, Contract Master Hussein, you're also from the southeastern quadrant, aren't you?"

"Do you know that wizard named Locke Augustine from before?"

This stingy Second Circle wizard asked casually, as if unintentionally.

Hussein hurriedly denied it. "Don't know him, never met him." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Don't know."

He secretly glanced at the employees and disciples behind this Second Circle wizard, afraid that after this Second Circle wizard learned he and Locke were friends, he would forcibly drag him along to meet Locke.

The stingy Second Circle wizard's eyes flickered, and he could only give up. "Oh, then I must have overthought it."

"Help me draft the contract."

"This time it's a First Circle level contract. You won't refuse, will you?"

"I know your director."

Hussein smiled and began picking up the magic quill pen and the cursed spirit ink needed by contract masters to begin writing a contract. Although this kind of contract, even if written, no one would look at it.

It wouldn't have any effect.

But since the customer was paying for what they wanted, he had no reason to refuse.

Hussein thought, 'Locke, after leaving the southeastern quadrant, you've flown even higher.'

'Just keep working hard like this. The more fellow travelers on this road to truth, the better.'

The Second Circle wizard quickly obtained a qualified contract. He was slightly surprised. "Worthy of being the champion of the Rousseau Law Firm Alliance's First Circle contract master contract drafting professional skill competition. Such fast speed, and the quality is also qualified."

"Oh right, you're almost at the liquefaction stage, aren't you? Your speed is really fast."

Hussein smiled. "Yes, Second Circle wizard lord. This is also thanks to the reward from the contract master professional skill competition championship."

"Among them was an opportunity to enter a First Circle level wizard secret realm, which allowed me to obtain quite a few magical resources."

The stingy Second Circle wizard, upon hearing wizard secret realm, nervously looked at the crowd behind him, then quickly slipped away. He had recently become afraid upon hearing wizard secret realm, after all, he had previously owed his employees too many wizard secret realm entry opportunities. Now it seemed that trying to honor them all at once was impossible.

The Second Circle wizard turned and left, afraid his employees would follow Hussein's words and ask him about wizard secret realm entry opportunities.
