The air in Longya Field seemed to solidify into steel as the first phase of the mentor-level simulated battle began, igniting an opening ceremony. In the next moment, the battlefield transformed into a true purgatory. Five mentors descended like kings from five different worlds, launching a comprehensive suppression.
"Prepare to enter the joint test battle phase!" Cang Lu's words quickened as she swiftly waved her hands over the spell projection panel. The spell terminal's analysis results indicated that the Magic Department was facing the "Five-item Comprehensive Suppression Test":
[Speed Pressure]: Executed by the swordsmanship mentor, who maintains high-speed clashes and movements to force the sorcerers to expose flaws;
[Close Combat Explosive Pressure]: High-frequency boxing techniques unleashed by the combat mentor tear apart defenses.
[Long-Range Suppression]: The archery mentor controls a multidimensional attack with a spell formation of arrows.
[Spell Deconstruction]: The light magic mentor uses spells to dismantle others' spells, simulating the harshest deconstructive environment.
[Mechanism Reconstruction]: The armed mechanism mentor releases automaton battle formations, forcing the Magic Department to exhaust its resources.
"This is no longer just a test..." Elfi's expression was stern as a flash of sword light grazed her ear.
"It's a complete blockade simulation!"
"Very well," Feng Ke smiled slightly. There was no fear in his eyes. "Let's take it all on. Elfi, Livia, begin the Eight Moments Reaction."
"Eight Moments Reaction?" The light magic mentor furrowed her brows, her expression grave. This was a spell system that only existed in tactical experiment records. It achieved a "mock battle lineup" through eight spell transitions and deployments in a very short time. However, it was only theoretically feasible. At this moment, though, the sorcerers of the Magic Department sprang into action.
Livia unfolded the triple floating card array and absorbed the rain of magical arrows while casting "Red Flame Interference" to delay the archery instructor's rhythm. Elfi used "Mirror Blade Swordsmanship" combined with card reflection to force back the swordsmanship instructor continuously. Meanwhile, Fengke arrived at the center of the tactical array. Eight virtual constructs floated up around him, resembling a windmill of magic that slowly rotated.
"Begin the eight-second reaction — Magic Technique Unleashed: First Style: Chain Barrier."
In an instant, a magic barrier covered everyone, nullifying all external ranged damage.
"Second Style: Reverse Reflection."
The heavy battle array cast by the Mechanisms Instructor was countered and briefly locked down by the Card Array.
"Third Style—"
The Luminous Instructor suddenly spoke, halting the fluctuations of the magic technique. "Enough."
"Huh?" Cang Lu was taken aback.
"This is the battlefield logic of 'Tactical Master' level," the luminous instructor said in a deep voice. "You have utilized the card magic directing calculation system to achieve array allocation, magic technique fusion, information folding, and even turning 'defense' into an interference battle."
"This is the most mature magic tactical model I have ever seen."
The fighting instructor snorted coldly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I disagree. But I admit you are not just playing around with flashy techniques."
The swordsmanship instructor sheathed his sword.
"The magic department is qualified."
Moments later, the barrier was lifted, and the instructors announced their resolution: "The magic combat system officially receives Strategic Level Certification!"
This meant that, from that battle onward, the magic department was qualified to participate in high-level tactical exercises and represent the academy in combat.
At that moment, Fengke looked at the residual magical light on his fingertips.
