"The Ironflower Maze"

A massive maze made of silver-white steel appeared before everyone, ensnaring the members of the Azure Sky Student Council within. Their Chishin Academy uniforms fluttered in the golden sunlight, emitting the most alluring glow.

"Hehe! You can play all you want, we'll see each other in two or three hours!" The president's smile was always so warm.

"Hanya, do you know who in Azure Sky has such powerful magic to create this kind of magic formation?"

"Ningyi, one of the Five Tiger Generals under Sutu Ming's command."

"It's a girl!"

"Well, if it weren't for two of Sutu Ming's Five Tiger Generals having graduated and left school, I might not make it back this time."

"But aren't there still two more?"

"One is Sutu Ming's companion, Sutu Yifei, and the other is Bai Lang, a high-level water magic master. Fortunately, Bai Lang is currently training abroad, so Sutu Ming only has two people by his side."

"Hehe, aside from the small fries, it's essentially a 3v3 battle of offense and defense." Hanya paused and smiled.

"The president's tactic is to eliminate the small fries and have a one-on-one fight!"

"A one-on-one fight is advantageous for us, but I don't understand why Sutu Ming is so confident. What we think of, he may also think of. It's clear that he's no fool, being from a noble family."

"Let's see how it goes!"

Inside the Azure Sky Student Council, Sutu Ming elegantly savored the exquisite red tea in a white porcelain cup.

"They're here!"

Two sword clashes, the gates burst open, and a green hurricane swept through the entire room. Figures flickered, and sword light aimed straight at Sutu Ming's forehead.

"Clang~~" Just as the divine strike was about to hit, a pitch-black longsword blocked it from below, and the two swords clashed and instantly separated.

The one who broke in was Hanya, the owner of the other sword. Surprisingly, it was Sutu Yifei.

Without any chance to catch their breath, Hanya's ghostly figure flickered once again. This was Hanya's technique, "Drift Away."

The indoor hurricane continued to rage.

Like a fallen leaf in the wind, coming and going with the wind, Sutu Yifei, no matter how fast he was, was not a wind magic practitioner. Moreover, Hanya's figure was chaotic and had no discernible pattern.

"This wind is really annoying." Sutu Yifei watched the rampant wind. This gust of wind caused the wind elements in the entire room to dance wildly, as if having taken a stimulant. The activity and quality of the elements greatly affected their power. At this time, it was noon, when the dark elements were weakest. In this situation, even though Sutu Yifei had the strength of a higher rank and level than Hanya, he still felt pressured.

"Don't think you can defeat me like this. Watch my move, sister!"

The black sword qi surged, the sword raised high, and thirteen sword lights flickered unexpectedly from different angles towards Hanya.

"Deep Abyss Thirteen Swords."

"Sword Soul of the Wind · Rotation."

Undoubtedly, Hanya had a talent for dancing, with a graceful and beautiful figure. Swinging the sword, she rotated in the wind like a swan. The emerald green sword light, accompanied by the strong wind, covered her body completely, resisting all the black sword qi.

"One Fei, cut off the jade on her neck. The unrest of the wind elements comes from it."

"Hehe, understood!"

Sutu Yifei held the sword in mid-air, gathering strength in both hands. The cold sword light swung down.

The oncoming blade was powerful, as if it could cleave Hanya in half.

"Clang~~~~" A cloud-splitting horizontal strike, and the two swords intersected in a crisp sound. This blocking technique was the most commonly used and practical in swordsmanship, reflecting its effectiveness.

"Crack of Heaven" The dragon pattern surged, sword qi roared, the green light spun like a hurricane, and the sound of the black sword shattering was crisp and pleasant. Hanya exerted force, and the sword light arrived, but Sutu Yifei didn't respond at all.

The sword passed through her waist, cutting through Sutu Yifei's body.

There were no screams tearing through the air, no bloody and horrifying scenes. There was only the ripple of a broken moon in the water. As Sutu Yifei was injured by the sword, he transformed into dark elements and disappeared."Doppelganger?"

"Hmph!" A female voice came from behind Hanya. In an instant, Hanya realized she had been deceived and wanted to turn around to counterattack. However, it was too late, so she could only quickly spin her Celestial Sword in her hand and grasp it in a reverse grip. She listened to the sound of the wind and judged the position from the sword's sound in the wind, then a sword suddenly slashed horizontally from behind her.

"Sshhhh!" The blades clashed and sparkled, creating a dazzling display. The dark long sword rubbed against Hanya's Celestial Sword, and the tip of the sword pierced through Hanya's emerald-green hair, lifting it up. The jade stone rope hanging from the hair and the strands of hair broke together. The jade stone fell from Hanya's chest and shattered instantly upon hitting the ground. Without the jade stone, the wind stopped, and the chaotic wind element calmed down. If it weren't for the chandelier above swaying due to inertia, indicating that there was a strong wind blowing just now, there would be no indication of the wind.

"It seems that Hanya can't hold on for much longer. I need to act quickly." I was looking out from Lilith's room. With the cover of the hurricane just now, I secretly infiltrated here.

The turbulent wind element from before also had the same effect on my wind magic acceleration.

The jade stone Hanya carried had the function of creating a favorable battlefield for wind magic users, similar to the "domain" that can only be used by demi-god level magic users. However, a "domain" is an absolute single-element magic domain without any other elements mixed in.

With both hands extended, my magic power slowly penetrated into the restricted magic formation around Lilith. When I saw the complete magic formation restricting Lilith for the first time, I was a bit dumbfounded. I thought that what was in front of me was a single body magic formation composed of five formations.

Unlike a linked formation, which forcibly connects multiple magic formations, resulting in extreme instability and high danger comparable to a magic bomb, a single body formation consists of multiple formations that complement each other to form a complete magic formation. It not only has a high level of stability but also an effect that is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than a linked formation. Unfortunately, breaking a single body formation is more difficult than breaking a linked formation. Breaking a linked formation requires luck, while breaking a single body formation requires more skill and experience. But as long as it doesn't explode, I have a way.

As the saying goes: "Heaven bestows great tasks upon important individuals..."

While the magic power was permeating, I constantly searched for weak points and analyzed the internal structure and magic power intensity. Because these five formations were quite large and complex, it took a lot of time. Moreover, the sound of swords outside the room continuously urged and reminded me that my time was running out.

Outside the room, Hanya lost the entire jade stone formation, and the situation took a turn for the worse. The disadvantaged side shifted from Situ Yifei to Hanya. Hanya started to suffer some minor injuries, and time kept ticking away...
