The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1367 Spell Compression
Although many other factors were involved in the exchange meeting between the colleges, at least the organizers were still biased towards practical magic colleges, so they wouldn't make too much noise at the beginning.

But the event of the first competition was target shooting, which made Lin Tianci very puzzled.

difficult?
Of course it is difficult, but not low.

All offensive spells can be roughly divided into three categories according to the area of ​​influence: single, group, and range. Targeting is only allowed to use single spells.

At the same time, single spells can also be divided into three types: directional spells, ray spells, and manipulative spells.

A directional spell means that you select a target, and the magic will fly there by itself, with a certain tracking ability. For example, as long as you are a mage, you will use the magic missile. This is a very typical directional spell.

The ray is easy to understand. Raise your finger and fly out a ray of different colors. It is characterized by fast attack speed and difficult to avoid. The disadvantage is that it does not have any tracking ability, and if it does not hit the target, it is a waste.

Compared with the former two, the biggest advantage of manipulative spells is that they can freely control the direction of the spell's forward movement. As long as you want, it can follow the target like a homing missile, and once there is any more important target on the way, You can also freely choose new targets to attack as you like, with better flexibility.

However, when manipulating spells, it needs to consume the energy of the mage. It is impossible to throw a spell and then throw another one like the first two, and it is more troublesome to control.

Using the analogy of modern military weapons on the earth, directional spells are equivalent to missiles that are fired and ignored, ray spells are equivalent to rockets that have no guidance ability but are extremely fast, and manipulative spells are human-controlled hand-operated missiles. .

Only single-target spells can be used in the target shooting competition, and these three types of single-target attack spells have their own advantages and disadvantages. How to choose the right spell at the right time is the most basic measure of a mage's combat effectiveness. Require.

Lin Tianci felt that it was not difficult, because the monks never practiced this, and they were more inclined to actual combat than simple target shooting. When they were newbies, they would definitely throw spells around due to lack of experience. As long as they played a few more games, they would be able to comprehend these Tips.

Lin Tianci is more inclined to find a place to try out new abilities when he gets them, and combine his previous experience to operate, so he can basically get started easily.

After all, monks are flexible enough, even if they are magicians, they are not as strict in the selection of spells as magicians.

Moreover, this target shooting is also different from the simple painting style that Lin Tianci imagined, where he set up a target in the distance and hit it casually.

Towering magic barriers were erected around the venue near the auditorium. This was to prevent stray bullets from hurting the audience. This in itself showed that target shooting was not the fixed target as imagined.

What kind of project has been discussed and decided by the heads of the various colleges long ago. Naturally, everyone knows that they will bring more than 40 students. Except for some of them as substitutes in case of accidents, no one will participate in any project. It was arranged long ago.

So after the announcement of the first round, each magic academy sent players one after another. Since target shooting itself is dangerous, the players need to play one by one.

The first one to show her face was the eldest lady of Ymir Magic Academy.

Of course, they couldn't wear that dress anymore when they started playing. They changed into a pair of long clothes and trousers that are convenient for movement. It is estimated that they wore this dress under the previous skirt.

Judging by the age, they are very young, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, which is relatively rare among contestants, because most of them are in the graduation class, that is, between 18 and 20 years old.

But on the other hand, Ymir School of Magic sent such a young player up, it must be very confident in his shooting skills.

The commentator gave a brief introduction to the contestants with a magically amplified voice, and then heard a long beeping of a 'di—' like an alarm.

Long strips of gaps were opened under the magic barrier around the arena, and circular disk-shaped objects in four colors of red, blue, white and green flew out one after another.

It looks about the size of a plate, but this thing is different from the 'Frisbee' that is thrown out by a machine. It is magically attached to it, and it can fly and levitate quickly.

Moreover, different colors also mean that you need to use attack spells of different attributes to score points. Red requires fire spells, blue requires ice spells, white is lightning spells, and green is naturally strong acid.

Since sonic spells usually have a range attack effect, the flying disc is not set as a type that must be shot down by sonic waves, so it is simply not played with sonic waves.

If you do not hit the corresponding Frisbee with the prescribed spell, it is considered a violation, and you cannot score, otherwise, you will score one point.The total shooting time for each player is 10 minutes, and the number of frisbees is not limited. The player who hits the most frisbees with qualified spells within the specified time will win.

If the Dharma cultivators of Eastern Shenzhou were to do this, I'm afraid it would be very distressing.

It's not that they can't hit, but most of the monks can only practice spells with one or two attributes because of the relationship between the attributes of the five elements, and it is impossible to be as comprehensive as magic.

The moment the Frisbee takes off is the signal to start the game.

The students sent by Ymir Magic Academy should have been secretly preparing when the commentator introduced her, so when the Frisbee flew together, they immediately raised the crystal ball they had been holding in their hands.

First of all, three flaming spheres were shot out quickly. Before the Frisbee flew too high, the three red ones were shot down.

This is the flame orb, which is a manipulative spell. Its characteristic is that as the level increases, the number of flame orbs shot at a time will also increase.

He raised his hand and shot three flame beads, which is not bad for a mage of this age, but every one of the people sent by each academy to participate in the competition has this kind of ability. stunning.

Immediately afterwards, the student wiped the crystal ball as a magic weapon with his hands, and suddenly a bright magical light flashed, and a series of fire rays of different colors flew out from the crystal ball, such as burning rays, icy rays, lightning strikes, strong acid splashes, etc. Rays, just like holding a machine gun in your hand, the four rays are fired alternately, and each firing line can hit the target accurately.

Even though all the spells belong to the lowest level, the learning difficulty and power are not as high as the magic missile that everyone knows, but the rate of fire and accuracy are really eye-opening.

I have to ask Celie about things related to magic. She is also a little interested in these mages who are still in the apprenticeship period, so she always stays online to watch the battle.

"This is a technique called Spell Compression, which is unique to the plane of Spell Heart. The lowest-level small spells like Icy Ray have very few runes and their models are not complicated, so it can It is easily compressed and stored, and released in one breath when needed."

As far as power is concerned, Lin Tianci stood still and activated the most basic defense, the True Yuan Barrier, and let this 'magic machine gun' hit his body and it would be impossible to do anything to him, after all, it was almost like a trick The lowest level of the spell, in terms of grade, it is similar to the dancing lights spell and the light spell.

But it is still very effective in the game.

The target that needs to be hit is not the type that must be broken to count as a point. In order to prevent the students from using too powerful spells and hurting the audience watching the battle, all flying discs are designed to land on their own when they are hit.

Therefore, it is more efficient to use low-power low-level spells that are fast and convenient to target targets than to use high-power spells that can smash a frisbee in one shot.

"Don't underestimate this technique. If you want to learn spell compression, you need to study the arrangement of runes for ten years. A little carelessness will cause the compressed spell to fail due to the wrong arrangement when it is released. Seriously. It might even explode. And this kind of technique seems to have no actual combat ability now, but think about it, what if she didn't compress these lowest-level small spells?"

That's right, even if you don't compress particularly advanced spells, just magic missiles, forming a continuous barrage of magic missiles is also very powerful. If you can compress the fireball and release it in one go, its effect has surpassed that of adding grenades in the modern army. A salvo from the artillery battalion.

The availability and development prospects of the wheel are naturally very impressive.

"A similar technique has a spell called 'Spell Array', which can compress up to three spells no higher than B-level and release them when the caster needs them. However, the spell array is already an A-level spell, and the effect is far less The technique used by the Heart of Mantra is well compressed."

Of course, it is not so easy to store powerful and high-level spells in the form of spell compression. The higher the level of the spell, the number of runes it forms will increase exponentially. Of course, the difficulty of compression is not the same.

This surgical compression was amazing, and all the students hiding in the bunker-like viewing platform on the edge of the field were full of admiration, and many even pushed their glasses, feeling a little incredible.

Just like Saili said just now, art compression requires ten years of hard work, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is. The players sent by Ymir School of Magic are only sixteen or seventeen years old, so they are not geniuses.

But the surprise is the surprise, and it doesn't make people lose their fighting spirit. The reason is very simple. There have been even more ridiculous scenes in the past two years.

That year happened to be the year when the Meteor Children of Mantra Heart graduated, which directly increased the magical power that apprentices could master by a large margin.

Just look at the Yunxian Ceremony held by the monks, you will know that the appearance of the Meteor Son made the regretful intestines of the sects who were skeptical about the rumors of his extraordinary talent turn green, and Lin Tianci's practice speed followed the song. Incredible guy with a fast engine.

Of course, the same is true in the wizarding world. The Son of Meteor class was too supermodel. Although everyone knows that such a powerful one is very rare, but after watching it, no matter what the scene is, it is difficult to amaze these audiences who have already been spoiled.
