Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Ahhhh" Inside the armor, Bai Chao shouted, he also completely released his power, he didn't want to lose in the first phase of the fights. He had to fight with all his might if he wanted to have a chance at victory.

The power of a level 1 advanced mage has exploded from his body. Bai Chao was also an advanced mage, but he was a level lower than Long Shui.

"It looks like you decided to go for it too" Long Shui spoke solemnly.

"Summon !!!" Long Shui started summoning contracted creatures. Two lights came out of Long Shui's body and began to take the form of two creatures, a giant eagle and a giant frog.

The eagle was three meters high when the wings were open, the total length was fifteen meters, its color was like ordinary water, the only difference was its size, the horn on its head and it had only one claw.

The frog was seven meters long, from head to tail, and two meters high. The color was red and the scales were hard as steel.

"Two creatures? Long Shui, you think about me a lot "Although he spoke calmly, Bai Chao was surprised to see the two summoned creatures, he realized that the two beasts were in rank 3, that is, both beasts had powers equivalent to advanced mages. Bai Chao had to fight three opponents who had the same powers as an advanced mage.

"Charge!!!" Long Shui didn't give Bai Chao time to prepare, he ordered the two beasts to charge towards Bai Chao.

The eagle was extremely fast, in less than a second, it arrived in front of Bai Chao and used its claws to attack him.

Chiiiii !!!! Chiiiii !!!! Chiiiii !!!!

The sound of metal being scratched was heard, the eagle's claws could not even scratch Bai Chao's armor.

At the same time, the frog spat out a green liquid that completely covered the armor, when some of the liquid fell to the floor, the floor started to melt because of the extremely corrosive liquid. A rotten and horrible smell was then felt, the smell spread throughout the hall, some students could not stand the strong rotten odor and vomit.

"Long Shui, you will pay me !!!!!"

"Long Shui, stop it. That smell is horrible!!!! "

…

The students could not stand the horrible odor and began to criticize Long Shui for that.

Long Shui did not mind the other competitors' screams of irritation, he just stared at Bai Chao who was standing there while the green liquid was corroding away at his armor.

To Long Shui's surprise, the armor was able to withstand corrosion, despite that, the corrosion happened slowly, the pace was slower than a snail.

Inside the armor, Bai Chao was holding himself back from vomiting because of the smell. He was not a mage of the wind element to blow the smell of the place, he could only endure in silence, but how long can Bai Chao endure?

"Spit again" The eagle returned beside Long Shui while the frog spits out more green liquid in the armor.

Bai Chao started to get tense, he was a young master who always kept himself clean, regardless of the situation, and never smelled so horrible before. His mind was not prepared for this, moreover, his precious armor was being eroded. If Bai Chao does nothing about it, his precious armor can be destroyed.

"I surrender !!!" Clenching his teeth, Bai Chao surrendered, he understood that he was not prepared to deal with the smell. His mind was not prepared to deal with this type of situation.

"The winner of the first fight is Long Shui from Central School." Shi Wu announced the winner, he didn't dare to reach the arena and the rotten smell permeated his clothes.

"Long Shui, can you get this disgusting thing out of here?" Bai Chao was referring to the two beasts and the green liquid.

Long Shui did not answer Bai Chao's question, he just nodded and the two creatures returned to the Special Space of the contracted beasts. The strong smell remained in place.

"I can't do anything about the smell, the only thing we can do is wait until it passes" Long Shui spoke casually and left the arena, he had already won the fight and didn't need to stay in the arena.

"You !!!!" Bai Chao was furious when he saw Long Shui leave without removing the rotten smell from his armor, he could only angrily stomp his foot and leave the arena and go to the bathroom to clean up.

"We are going to the next fight. Number 3, Liu Yang of the Eastern School, against number 4, Gong Zhou of the West School" Shi Wu did not dare to enter the arena, he was in the stands.

"Principal Shi Wu, is it possible to wait until this horrible smell has passed?" Gong Zhou spoke up, he was the next to fight and he didn't want to fight in the arena with that rotten smell.

"Student Liu Yang, what do you think of that?" Shi Wu asked Liu Yang to find out his answer. As the fight was between two participants, the two sides had to agree to this.

"Principal Shi Wu, I don't care about that. A mage needs to be prepared for all kinds of occasions, fighting in a rotten and horrible environment is just one of them "Liu Yang spoke casually. He knew that around the world there were dangerous places.

Liu Yang had a dream to visit these places, he also knew that these places had unique environments and climates. And adapting to those locations was the best form of training.

"I see ..." Shi Wu was surprised by Liu Yang's words, he understood what Liu Yang meant by those words.

"A mage always needs to be prepared for possible setbacks, and fighting in a place other than normal is one of them. Young mages, I hope you will keep those words.

When you travel to a dangerous place to train, you need to be prepared for any type of situation, be it the terrain, climate or anything else. You need to stay calm and analyze the situation.

The student Liu Yang's words reminded me of this, the scenario where you are now, is one of those setbacks.

If you ever go to South America, to be more precise, the Amazon Forest. In some places in this forest, there is an extremely dangerous and rotten swamp, the smell is much worse than that. If for some reason, you get to this swamp, you will already be prepared for the rotten smell. "Shi Wu gave some reasons for the students to fight in the arena with the rotten smell. Liu Yang gave him reasons to talk about it.

The eight contestants listened carefully to Shi Wu's words, as someone from the older generation, he has had all kinds of experiences in his life. His advice was like gold.

The students began to reflect on Shi Wu's words, they understood that it was important for them to have all kinds of varied challenges possible, this can increase their combat experience. And combat experience was the hardest thing to get.

Without needing to say anything more, Liu Yang and Gong Zhou entered the arena.

"Who do you think will win this fight?" A beautiful young woman approached Liu Xia and commented, she was Xie Xinyue.

"My man will win" Liu Xia responds casually, no matter what the situation, she had confidence in her man.

Xie Xinyue remained indifferent to Liu Xia's response, the two girls seemed cold and indifferent towards each other. The two girls will fight each other in the last fight.

"Why do you think that?" Xie Xinyue asked again, Liu Xia didn't know why Xie Xinyue was talking to her, the two girls didn't even know each other.

"This is a wife's trust in her husband. From your personality and aura, I assume you never had a lover. Since you don't have a boyfriend or anything, you wouldn't understand. "Liu Xia replied nonchalantly, she was sure she had never seen Xie Xinyue before.

"I see ... Trust between husband and wife. I don't have a boyfriend or husband, but I do have a fiance, although our marriage was arranged by our parents as a way of thanking" Xie Xinyue spoke nonchalantly, she knew of her situation.

"An arranged marriage? This is normal for people like you, who came from powerful and influential clans "Liu Xia was not surprised by Xie Xinyue's words, she knew some customs of the big shots.

"Despite being an arranged marriage, it does not involve any politic or benefits for both sides. My marriage was decided as a thank when I was just a baby, or rather when I was born. I haven't had a chance to meet my future husband and haven't even talked to him all these years. I just know him exists "Xie Xinyue spoke a little about her past.

"Your parents were brave to marry you with someone unknown as thanks, that person must be very lucky. For a mage who was born with mutant powers, not just one power, but two mutant powers, you are indeed a child blessed by the heavens. But as everything is not perfect, you will have to marry an unknown person that you don't love or have some kind of affection "Liu Xia felt a little sorry for Xie Xinyue, as a woman, she also wanted to get married someday, but with the man she loved and he loved her back. Liu Xia did not want to be in a situation like Xie Xinyue.

"You are indeed the youngest and most incredible mage I have ever seen in my life, to be able to look through my powers, you are indeed someone exceptional. But you are just an intermediate mage and I am an advanced mage, the difference between the two of us is like sky and earth "Xie Xinyue spoke nonchalantly, the way she said it looked like she was being arrogant and looking Liu Xia down.

"This may be true, but there is something you still need to understand. In a real fight, cultivation is not the only factor that leads someone to victory. "Liu Xia did not care about Xie Xinyue's words and made her comment. The two seemed to be having a battle of words.

"This is true, but the greater the cultivation, the greater the chance of victory. Furthermore, my cultivation is an entire rank about yours. I'm curious as to how you will defeat me in the arena "Xie Xinyue finished speaking and turned to leave, she sat in a chair next to Liu Xia, a chair away. The chair that separates the two girls was Liu Yang's chair.

Liu Xia saw this scene and was thoughtful, a strange thought appeared in her mind before she stared at the arena.
