Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

At dozens of points around the competition field, many lights began to appear, some were alone while others had two lights together. All groups have been separated into several different locations, some fortunate to be close.

On a flat land of low green grass, but at the same time, the place had a lot of hurricanes and bitter winds, lots of sparkles before the students appeared. At one point, the light just shone and an ordinary-looking young man appeared, he was Liu Yang, the place where he appears was from the wind element.

"Looks like I popped into the wind element…" After muttering, Liu Yang closed his eyes briefly, he was trying to sense the magic energy of the place and see if there were any enemies in the place.

"It looks like this place is a great place for me to train my wind element. My wind element is at the intermediate level, to reach the wind element advanced level, I need my cultivation to breakthrough to the advanced level before breakthrough an element level. It's a pity… "Liu Yang spoke in surprise, the magical energy of the elements at the competition field It was extremely dense and can help students improve their magic skills and element cultivation faster. But for cultivation, in general, it was useless, as the magical energy of the place could only be used to improve the elements.

Those who had the elements wood, light, darkness and summoning were the most harmed, as there were no such elements in place. Fortunately, since they were all at least intermediate mages, they had two elements, so at least one of their elements could be improved.

Liu Yang started walking towards the hurricanes, he wanted to find the creatures to fight and earn the points.

Previous editions of the High-Schools Competition were the same, but in different locations, as it was a roulette wheel that selected locations and rarely left the same location in consecutive years.

After walking a few steps, Liu Yang found the first creature. Instead of saying creature, it would be more accurate to say that it was a whirlwind with arms and legs, in the place of the eyes were two white lights. Overall, the creature looked like a golem made of wind.

What surprised Liu Yang most was the fact that he could not notice anything at such a close distance. After a brief thought, Liu Yang understood the reason, it was not that he could not detect any creature, the situation was a little different because the creatures only appeared when he approached it.

"Let's see what your rank is…" Liu Yang stared at the wind creature solemnly, he took a deep breath before waving his hand. A wind knife formed and attacked the golem.

Shuoo !!!

The instant the knife touched the golem's body, it dispersed like the wind and was absorbed by the golem. This scene surprised Liu Yang, he never imagined that something like this would happen.

"Seems like normal ways can't beat this kind of creature, I have to find its weakness." That thought crossed Liu Yang's mind after seeing that his blow failed and was absorbed by the golem.

Liu Yang waved his hand again and several dozen wind knives appeared, but this time, the knives emit a slight light green glow, although there are several dozen, the amount of magical energy that Liu Yang used to create these knives was very few. Using as little energy as possible to create as many knives as possible, this is Liu Yang's fighting method, which was taught by Liu Xia.

Liu Yang enchanted the magic power of the knives, it increased their power.

It was common for mages to enchant with magical energy the things they created with the power of the elements, which increased their powers. Like durability, speed, power and among other things.

One of the examples was a stone armor. An earth element magician can create armor with the power of the elements and reinforce with magical energy, which makes the armor more resilient.

Waving a hand, the several dozen wind knives flew toward the wind golem.

Shuoo !!! Shuoo !!! Shuoo !!! Shuoo !!!

This time, the wind knives were not absorbed by the golem because of the energy boost that Liu Yang put into the knives.

The knives cut through various parts of the golem's body and created several holes in the winding body, the only thing that appeared was the other side, before returning to normal. The golem did not move after being attacked, it seemed that it did not even feel the blows.

"I see… It looks like this year's competition is about Control. I'm lucky this time ... "Liu Yang understood a few things after seeing what happened. After seeing the theme of the competition, he waved his hand and blew out the wind blades.

Each year, the themes of competition changed control, speed, power, and cultivation. These four were the basic requirements for a mage. All four requirements were tested in the competition, but there was always the requirement that was the main one in the competition. And the take of this year was the Control.

The organization that created the competition did this to show that it was always important to have a balance between these four requirements.

"In control-type competitions, competitors must find the weak point of the targets and destroy that weak point to win, these targets are just magical energy puppets created by the organizers.

Once I have found the target weak point, I will no longer have to search, as creatures of the same rank have the weak spot in the same location, unless I find a creature of another rank, as I will need to find the weak spot again. Within the targets is a small sphere of energy, which competitors must destroy.

Since schools do not focus on the teaching of control, the organization had to put the first creature immobile so that the competitors could train a little before they started traveling around to the center, which is where the finish line is. "Liu Yang began to remember what he had studied about previous competitions.

After remembering all the necessary information about the control-type competition, Liu Yang sat on the floor and rested a bit to regain the magical energies before attacking again.

Waving his hand again, dozens of power knives appeared again, Liu Yang enchanted with magical energy again. Waving the hand once more, the knives flew toward the wind golem, the places where the knives hit this time are different from the previous ones.

"I found!!!" Liu Yang exclaimed after seeing a small sphere in the golem's head, the sphere was white. He waved his hand again and created a wind blade this time, the blade was half a meter long and five inches high, Liu Yang enchanted the blade with more magical energy than before.

Shuooo !!!

The wind blade flew at extremely fast speed before cutting off the head of the wind golem.

Zzzzzzzzzzz…

The sound of squeaking was heard as the wind blade hit the sphere of white light.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

Cracks began to appear after a few seconds after the collision.

Boooooom !!!!!!

The sphere of energy exploded into thousands of bright points before the wind golem vanished like a blow. A white card appeared at the scene.

Liu Yang used the power of the wind and flew toward the white card, as he approached, he took the black card from his pocket and touched the white card. A light shone and the white card disappeared, a number appeared on the black card, 1.

Rank 1 creatures gave competitors only one point and were the most abundant creatures on the competition site.

Liu Yang dropped to the floor and looked at the card.

"My first point has already been made, I want to see how many points I can reach." Liu Yang wanted to test his limits in this competition, but first, he had to meet Liu Yang and Xiao Mei.

Liu Yang pulled a compass out of his pocket, his index finger turning several times before stopping. Liu Yang began to spin to see which place the indicator had the most strength.

The indicator glowed a little when Liu Yang turned in a certain direction, and it shone brighter even as he turned a little more.

"Looks like I'll have to go that way first, Little Xia is too far away, so I'll look for the big sister..." Liu Yang started walking toward the compass was pointing.

This compass was a magical artifact called the Finder Compass, the compass had the power to locate people from its magical energy. To activate the compass required some magical energy from the target. Although not very far-reaching, it was still of great help for this kind of situation.

Each school gave students a magical artifact of localization so that their members could meet more quickly and a group to have more chances to win the fights.

But since Liu Yang, Liu Xia, and Xiao Mei had their own, they prefer to use theirs to get together first before thinking about anything else.
