Huh?
It's normal to put Nuoxi on the field, but why put Solita on the field?
Isn't there still Anmeng?
Jiang Kehan and the others were puzzled. They looked at Ai Lier, hoping for an explanation.
"To end the competition in the official matches means that we can only lose one match at most."
“But Li Hui chose to guarantee us a win in overtime, and I’m not confident that I can continue to win the match in the official competition.”
“So, I choose to do the opposite.” Ariel’s smile gradually became mysterious.
"The cult faction is best at using a gauntlet-style approach, so I plan to save An Meng for overtime as a backup plan."
"With Li Hui added to the mix, we are now confident that we can compete with them in overtime."
Solita hugged Gluttony even tighter, looked at the others with some confusion, and hesitated before saying, "Me?"
"If it wasn't you, did you expect me to go?" Qingxue rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Ailier seriously and said.
"If we really have to play overtime, I can provide a lot of medicine to help everyone."
"That's good..." Jiang Kehan watched as everyone gradually became more lively, and the weight in her heart finally lifted.
They are all adapting to the environment of the witch duel at their own pace.
However, Jiang Kehan looked at Solita, quietly approached her, and asked in a low voice.
Is there something wrong with Solita?
Looking at the gluttonous creature in her arms, Solita suddenly remembered a question her master, Bo Yuxue, had asked her before she joined the school team.
"You participated just to help Jiang Kehan get more participants?" Bo Yuxue, with a lollipop in her mouth, ruthlessly exposed Solita's true colors.
"Hmm..." Solita looked at the clouds outside the window and said simply, "Isn't that reason enough?"
Her response was a mocking laugh from Bo Yuxue.
"Solitaire, you don't understand witches, nor do you understand what lies buried beneath your blood."
"However, I can tell you very clearly that you will experience what a witch is much sooner than you think."
Bo Yuxue spun her chair, letting out a crisp laugh, as if she were sighing.
"And I think the Witch Duel is one of the best stages for you to experience these things."
“So go ahead, but remember,” she said coldly, staring intently at Solita.
"In the dueling arena, you can only rely on yourself, even if you already have basic strength."
"Your talent was never born because of someone else; you just don't understand yourself well enough, just like you don't understand Jiang Kehan well enough."
……
"I'm fine." Solita looked at Jiang Kehan and shook his head. "I just don't understand dueling very well."
“There’s nothing to be confused about if you don’t understand dueling,” Jiang Kehan said, rubbing Gluttony’s head before looking directly at Solita.
“Because when you step onto that stage, your heart will respond to this question.” She pondered, finally recalling Gu Qingci’s words about the duel.
"A duel is actually a way for us to arrogantly negotiate with ourselves in the face of death and tame our own hearts!"
Taming one's own heart?
Although Solita still didn't quite understand, the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared.
"is it?"
"I also want to see what my inner self is like, so I will work hard."
Solita smiled, already looking forward to the moment she would step into the dueling arena.
Since she understands nothing, let her inner self tell her—what a witch is, and what her own heart is.
Chapter 256 Mom and Dad, I want to be an astronaut!
After drawing lots, Wu Yuhan returned to the center of the ball. She clapped her hands lightly and looked around at the others.
"Now that everyone knows their opponents, the match is about to begin. Everyone, find a seat and hold on tight."
Hold on tight?
Jiang Kehan watched in bewilderment as the others effortlessly found a wall to lean against, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in her heart.
She also noticed that those who needed to lean on the wall were the little witches, while the middle witches like Wu Yuhan remained calm and even had the leisure to hold up their glasses and sip wine.
Jiang Kehan leaned against the wall for support. Although she possessed considerable magic, it was always better to be cautious than not to be a little witch.
As she heard creaking and shaking sounds coming from around her, she subconsciously swallowed.
Jiang Kehan looked down at her feet and found that the plot of land she was on was beginning to separate from the entire ballroom, and the walls were also disintegrating.
“Remember to hold your hair down, or you’ll look a bit disheveled,” Jolie Quentin, who was crouching nearby with her head in her hands, glanced at her and asked.
"Is this your first time participating in a witch duel?"
Jiang Kehan nodded. She looked at her colleague crouching down with her head in her hands, and for some reason felt that the other person was very authoritative.
However, she soon understood why Jolie Quentin had reminded her to hold her hair down.
The wall she had been holding onto had transformed into a dome, with a handrail falling down in the middle. Jiang Kehan carefully gripped it, and then felt a tremendous impact coming from beneath her feet.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Mom and Dad, I want to be an astronaut!
Who's some kind soul launching a rocket and launching it straight into the air?!
Yes, the small plot of land where Jiang Kehan was located transformed into a rocket and flew into the sky at an astonishing speed.
Her delicate face froze as she saw the giant floating island gradually shrinking in her field of vision, and felt the whistling wind in her ears.
Jiang Kehan realized something profound.
Even in the world of the old Yi3 Wuqi IX Liu III, there were always people who didn't treat you like a human being, let alone a witch with tenacious vitality.
Shirt Private Seven (Two) People Like Dad S Group / Teasing them when they start doing things, they really don't say a word!
Jiang Kehan was now only grateful that she had obediently held her hair down; otherwise, she would not only have been in a sorry state, but she would also have missed the magnificent scene below.
The land on the once boundless giant floating island began to crumble, revealing a massive crystal within.
The detached land began to attach to the smaller floating islands that formed eight rings of giant floating islands, creating eight arenas.
The entire process was like a blooming white lotus, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, Jiang Kehan was still not given time to react. The land that was rising suddenly seemed to be attracted by a magnet and plummeted towards one of the dueling arenas.
"Is this some kind of new drop tower? You should at least give me a heads-up!"
Jiang Kehan covered her skirt, feeling like crying, and felt a deep sense of malice from the designer.
However, her eyes widened even more as she stared intently at the enormous crystal occupying the core position.
The crystal seemed to have been struck heavily, and the outermost layer of crystal began to shatter with a clear impact.
After the scattered crystal fragments fell briefly, they suddenly froze, as if someone had pressed the button to stop time.
As the sunlight shines upon them, the fragments reflect each other, as if breaking down the boundary between reality and dreams, transforming into the rainbow bridge of mythology.
Jiang Kehan had been wondering why there were no audience members, but now she knew.
More and more witches appeared on the light path interwoven with crystal shards, clutching tickets in their hands and looking expectant, clearly there to watch the competition.
They followed the shadow of the light and walked into the interior of the giant crystal.
"The round of 16 matches were always held simultaneously, and that giant crystal was a special magical light screen."
Li Hui squatted on her plot of land, and unlike Jiang Kehan's somewhat disheveled appearance, she seemed quite natural.
"Inside is a transformed, broken space that can accommodate quite a few people, and even allow you to watch the details of each match simultaneously."
"And the tickets they have have a teleportation function, which is why you couldn't see any witches other than those participating in the competition just now."
Jiang Kehan patted her chest, took a breath, and said, "It's very witchy-like. To be honest, this scene is a bit beyond my imagination."
As the descent slowed, she watched the ground draw ever closer and chose to jump.
The rest of the school team also gradually settled down here.
Jiang Kehan noticed that there were only a few chairs placed here, and nothing else.
Moreover, sitting here, you can directly see the members of the Wish Society on the other side of the dueling arena.
He told her quite directly and without any pretense that here, it's a matter of life and death.
After both teams landed, fireworks suddenly burst into the sky, and a familiar figure descended from the invisible steps.
She smiled and said casually, "I am Gu Qingci, the host of this competition. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
As Gu Qingci clapped her hands slightly, virtual human figures appeared on the seats surrounding the dueling arena, clearly the audience members who had chosen to watch the match.
"Are both sides ready?" Gu Qingci asked softly, floating in mid-air.
"Is everyone ready?" Jiang Kehan looked at her team members and saw them nodding vigorously. Then she waved to Gu Qingci.
"We are ready!"
Meanwhile, the Wish Society team on the other side also gave their approval. Su Ying's expression was no longer smiling. She looked at Jiang Kehan with icy eyes and her hands were subtly tightening.
"Then please use Fireball to project the names of the players participating in the opening match into the air at the same time."
Gu Qingci smiled and began the countdown: "3...2...1, the competition begins!"
As the flames rose, both sides stared intently at the names that appeared on the screen, taking a deep breath.
"Environmental Extraction: Deadly Yellow Sand!"
"The two sides facing off: Jiang Kehan vs. Su Ying!"
"Both parties, please enter and submit your emblems!"
Jiang Kehan glanced back at the others who were giving her encouraging looks, then took a firm step forward.
She could no longer stop smiling, and Su Ying on the other side did the same.
Slaughter, devouring, and ultimately growing stronger—this is the eternal prelude to the duel.
And they couldn't wait any longer.
