Half an hour later, the ninth, eighth, and seventh place contestants had all been eliminated, with their three Sureyas legions completely annihilated. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Currently, only the sixth, fifth, third, second, and first place contestants remained.

The voting results had also appeared, with the final audience vote showing that Edgar was not in violation of the rules.

Yennefer's expression darkened.

Because during the past half hour, no matter how her Mushroom King attacked, it could not lock onto the location of that mechanical fortress and now Edgar could use his Ancient Life Tree avatar to attack, which was undoubtedly a huge disadvantage for her.

At the same time, the True Sight Orb appeared again in midair, "After discussion, the competition committee believes that although Wizard Edgar's actions do not constitute a violation, they still interfere with the fairness of the competition."

"Therefore, the competition committee has added a special rule, namely that in this Cloud Marsh Cup, each participating team can send one wizard to enter the battlefield and compete in person."

Yennefer's expression relaxed somewhat.

Because if this were the case, the situation wouldn't be too terrible.

Although Edgar could use his natural force avatar to descend onto the battlefield, since she could also join the battlefield, she wouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage, at least offsetting some of Edgar's advantages.

Of course, Yennefer instantly thought of something and looked toward Locke.

Among the five remaining participating teams, only Locke's team didn't have a First Circle crystallization stage wizard, so this newly added rule was completely disadvantageous for him.

Of course, this also had benefits for Yennefer. This way, she could eliminate one powerful contender for the championship.

'Diana... Edgar, they're both my strong opponents. I must think of some way, otherwise I'll have no chance at the championship.'

Yennefer began to think. 'According to the championship records of past Cloud Marsh Cups, my magical plant work has actually reached the level of championship-grade magical plants.'

'The problem is that this time there are three participants who exceeded the normal level of Cloud Marsh Cup breeders.'

'The problem isn't with me, it's with them. They shouldn't be bringing magical plants of this caliber to participate in a competition like the Cloud Marsh Cup.'

Wizard Edgar gave a cold laugh and glanced at Witch Yennefer. "You love reporting violations so much. If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who hired the Ladybug Raiders to steal my data, right?"

Everyone's gaze immediately turned to Yennefer.

Yennefer also curved her lips. At this point, she didn't feel there was anything she needed to deny. "So what if I did? So what if I didn't!"

"Edgar, everything must rely on results. Past matters are no longer important. Whoever can destroy the Revenge Machine Soul will be the champion."

A terrifying magical pressure emanated from Yennefer's body. "The game of playing house is finally over... personal combat... I like it."

"White wizards, you bunch of little sheep raised in a greenhouse, do you dare to truly battle me on the battlefield?"

Yennefer curved her lips. Her white wizard robe seemed to be made of some photosensitive material. After sensing the nature of her undisguised magical pressure, it immediately changed from white to black.

A fitted black wizard robe was now worn on her body.

Wizard Edgar's gaze changed. "A black wizard?"

In the next moment, Witch Yennefer had already snapped her fingers, and a mushroom hammer appeared in her hand. Locke recognized it as the Petrifying Hammerhead Mushroom, the same model as his own Executioner's Hammer Mushroom. Both required borrowing the power of a First Circle wizard's advancement to become mature.

Witch Yennefer directly walked out of Kalimra Frontier Town, transforming into a black mist that shot up into the sky, flying toward the other side of the heavens.

At the same time, Witch Diana and Wizard Alaric also hastily used their respective means to directly join the war.

Edgar's main body looked at Locke and said, "Locke, aren't you going?"

"Or are you afraid?"

Locke glanced at Wizard Edgar and said, "Edgar, why aren't you moving either?"

Wizard Edgar pointed at the dome screen. "The battlefield already has my natural avatar, so I don't need to personally enter the field. Speaking of which, among us, you're the only one at the First Circle liquefaction stage."

"Although the Origin Academy of True Knowledge only requires reaching the liquefaction stage before a certain age to register, generally speaking, without reaching the crystallization stage, it's extremely difficult to enter a high-level Origin Academy of True Knowledge."

"After all, there are many competitors."

Wizard Edgar said, "However, since you can create a work like the Hydra, I have to look at you with new respect. Locke, the current situation is very unfavorable for you. I want to see how you'll respond."

Locke glanced at Wizard Edgar as the Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow appeared behind him. The immense magical pressure transformed into dragon might and was released. Inside the entire viewing hall, except for Wizard Edgar, all the wizards felt their minds suppressed in this instant.

"Unfavorable for me? Edgar, are you perhaps misunderstanding something?" Locke's eyes flashed with abyssal energy. With 1500 abyssal energy plus 7030 magical pressure, Locke's current magical pressure reached 8530.

This magical pressure indeed hadn't yet reached the level of 9000+ magical pressure that crystallization wizards had, but after Locke converted this magical pressure into dragon might, even crystallization wizards would feel apprehension in their hearts.

Locke used Plant Mimicry: Green Dragon, and immediately magical wind surged from all directions like flowing water, making a mess of the entire viewing hall. Then, with the sound of an air explosion, Locke flew out from inside the viewing hall like a true green dragon, flying toward the sky as vast dragon might enveloped the entire battlefield.

'Roar~'

Like a true dragon descending, whether wizards, Sureyas people, or Mekani people, all felt a shock in their hearts.

Any existence with a soul would be suppressed by the Enchantment School spell: Dragon might.

The moment he flew into midair, Locke directly used the two drops of true blood in his body, consecutively using Berserk on himself twice, squeezing his mysterious dragon bloodline and Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline within.

Immediately, his magical pressure rose from 8530 all the way to just over 9000. Under the effect of the second-tier Berserk squeezing the magical creature bloodlines in his body, Locke's mental power briefly broke through its limits, surging past the crystallization stage, compressing his mana into crystals.

His dragon might became even stronger, like a true green dragon. Wherever the Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow flew, both Mekani people and Sureyas people hastily avoided it. Locke headed directly toward that steel fortress.

On the battlefield, Witch Yennefer, who had just entered the battlefield, looked up. For a moment, it seemed as if she saw a green dragon appearing from Kalimra Frontier Town onto the battlefield.

"How is this possible?"

"That's... Breeder Locke Augustine's magical pressure..."

"A green dragon?"

She shook her head and only then could she see clearly that behind Locke was a magical plant mimicking green dragon wings. "Plant Mimicry?"

"There's even this trick. Not good. Under his simulated dragon might, he seems like a real dragon with an incredibly high rank. Those Mekani people have soul-like structures in their bodies, the masterpieces of prosthetic masters."

"When those Mekani people get near him, they have to endure mental suppression, so they'll instinctively avoid him. Damn it, he'll directly approach that steel fortress."

On another part of the battlefield, Witch Diana looked back at the sky over the battlefield, furrowing her brow slightly. "Locke?"

"Green dragon?"

"This is magical pressure over 9000..." Witch Diana's face flashed with admiration. "To be able to think of a way to temporarily stack his magical pressure to this degree while at the liquefaction stage, and to even be able to convert magical pressure into dragon might. Even if crystallization wizards face this dragon might, their souls will be suppressed and they'll struggle to display even thirty to forty percent of their full strength."

"Locke, I really can't underestimate you."

"Regardless, I will defeat everyone in this competition." Witch Diana raised her two laurel leaf twin blades. Those laurel leaf twin blades were entwined with osmanthus flower fragrance. The two ice-type magical plants combined, their power multiplying.

A full moon appeared behind Witch Diana.

Her power was actually even above Locke's dragon might. Witch Diana also directly attacked, slashing forward with her blade. Immediately, a massive frost slash spanning heaven and earth penetrated the battlefield, heading straight for the steel fortress.

Witch Yennefer had thought Witch Diana was casting an extremely powerful magic spell and was completely startled. "Can a First Circle wizard cast magic like this?"

On another side, Wizard Edgar used his natural avatar to summon a natural storm, enveloping that steel fortress.

For a moment, the natural force storm, the laurel leaf blade with partial characteristics of extremely powerful magic, and Locke's Enchantment dragon might enveloped the battlefield, completely dominating the minds of everyone on the battlefield.

As for the other two participants, Alaric saw this scene and after thinking it over, directly began to give up. "Those three people are too abnormal. There's not much hope competing with them, and that Yennefer's comprehensive strength is also stronger than mine. Currently, it seems I can only get fifth place."

Alaric grinned. "I was fifth in the preliminaries, and now I'm still fifth in the finals. This is within expectations, so I'm not disappointed."

"This is actually pretty good."

Alaric said to Yennefer not far away, "Hey, how about we just accept our rankings? I'll take fifth, you take fourth. Let those three abnormal ones fight for the top three."

On another side, Yennefer's expression changed repeatedly. She looked at Alaric with annoyance. "Lacking ambition, no future prospects. How could I be that kind of wizard?"

Yennefer jumped onto the top of her Mushroom King's head. "Mushroom King, let's go. At least I can compete for third or second place. As long as I can enter the top three, there's a chance to gain entry to the Origin Academy of True Knowledge. Even if there's no hope for first place, I should at least secure third and strive for second."

"Those three abnormal ones shouldn't be participating in a competition of this level. I must think of some other methods."

At this time, Locke flapped the Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow, relying on the green dragon's rank to forcibly suppress those Mekani people. Along the way, without expending much effort, he caught up with the steel fortress moving at high speed.

At the same time, Diana's two ice moon slashes also came cutting over, chasing after the steel fortress and carving out two gaps.

Witch Diana shouted loudly, "You'd better get out of the way, Locke. Otherwise, when I attack the steel fortress, I'll affect you too."

Locke looked at the ice fangs spanning midair. With a gesture, he immediately summoned one end of the Hydra being manipulated by eight Sureyas people and supplied with mana on the battlefield. A chain immediately locked onto his right hand, and in an instant, nine layers of permanent defensive force fields enveloped his body.
