Seventh grade? Still fighting!

  "This young man named Xiaoming is only a sixth-level high-grade magician, not even seventh-level, and he has actually grasped compound magic? Are the young people of today really that terrifying? And he's just a first-year freshman, isn't he, Principal Rog?" A white-haired old magician asked with piercing eyes.

  "That's right, he is indeed a newborn." Rog nodded, and he was also surprised by Xiaoming's terrifying growth. The shock brought to him by this young man's magic was in no way inferior to his level of medicine, it was really unknown where this monster came from.

  "It wasn't until I grasped the true power of compound magic after advancing to the rank of Ousei magician that I understood its true essence... and yet, this young man..." The old magician sighed in amazement.

  "This young man named Xia Ming really reminds me of Arthur back in the day, no, he's even more terrifying than Arthur was!" said another person who had attended almost every session of the Magic Martial Arts Conference.

  Bluebeard smiled slyly and exchanged a knowing glance with Anthony, revealing a smile that only the two of them understood.

  ……

  The sea of flames covered the entire arena, and even Xia Ming was being cautious, controlling the direction of the ice flames, not allowing the flames to scorch himself.

  Due to the tornado's effect, Xiaoming's Meteor Shower magic was almost several times more powerful than usual, and even the tall and majestic Golden Lion appeared insignificant in it, being completely engulfed by flames in an instant.

  The icy flames seemed like a giant beast, ferociously devouring everything.

  "Has the Golden Lion lost?" Everyone's mind was filled with this question, as Xia Ming's flames were truly too terrifying, even the emergency personnel next to him were on high alert, ready to act at any moment.

  A sea of fire raged, and the fierce flames completely engulfed the arena, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

  Almost everyone thought that the Golden Lions could not remain undefeated in such a state.

  However, the solemn expression in Xia Ming's eyes had not yet dissipated, because he felt that amidst the endless flames, a figure still stood, and there was also a rough breathing sound.

  The golden lion can still fight!

  Xia Ming's eyes narrowed, and he noticed that in the sea of flames, the tall body of the Golden Lion, although slightly trembling, was still supported by his fighting spirit. Moreover, his breath, though somewhat damaged, had gained a kind of aura that made Xia Ming feel uneasy.

  When the opportunity arises, Xia Ming starts reciting incantations again. This time, Xia Ming takes advantage of the situation to recite a summoning spell.

  The Golden Lion emerged from the flames, his body charred and blackened, except for a crucial area of his pants that remained intact. The rest of his clothes were burnt to ashes, and his skin was covered in wounds, looking utterly disheveled. Xia Ming's attack had almost left him naked.

  However, the Golden Lion's face suddenly broke out into a hearty laugh, his eyes filled with an unbridled color, laughing and saying: "Xia Ming, thank you so much! If it wasn't for the pressure you gave me, I really don't know when I would have taken this step!"

  The golden lion was entirely different from just now, his face full of pride and confidence, coldly staring at Xiaoming, as if looking at prey.

  Xia Ming suddenly came to his senses.

  On the body of the Golden Lion, a burst of energy suddenly flashed, and that water-blue light became even more profound, emitting an even greater radiance.

  "This is..."

  "The Golden Lion has broken through." Arthur muttered on stage.

  Many students of the Warriors Academy who knew the truth stood up excitedly, waving their arms and shouting loudly, and for a time the momentum reached its peak.

  No, the Golden Lion actually broke through under Xia Ming's strong pressure!

  Seventh rank! Seventh-rank warrior!

  "Oh my god, Xiaoming is in danger now! Huang Jinshi has made a sudden breakthrough, this kind of thing has happened before in the Magic Warrior Tournament, but this time it's absolutely crucial! Can Xiaoming withstand the attack of Huang Jinshi who has become a 7th level warrior?" Lan Ning exclaimed excitedly, waving her hands and feet.

  Everyone's gaze was fixed intently on Xia Ming.

  Xia Ming hummed softly in his heart, and the crowd's exclamations of surprise and Lan Ning's intentionally exaggerated cries did not cause any disturbance to Xia Ming. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he finally completed that long magic spell.

  "Flame Summoning, Nine-Tailed Fire Fox!"

  A complex and mysterious magic circle appears, and a higher intelligent demon is bred in the deep red magic circle like blood.

  "Ugh……" A shrill, piercing howl echoed again, and a nine-tailed fox with a body length of over ten meters appeared in front of Xiaoming, its entire body covered in deep red fur, with eyes as red as blood, emitting a fierce and ominous glow.

  Nine huge tails swished back and forth, heavily pounding the arena, causing the earth to shake with each impact.

  "Haha, is this the summoning magic? Xiaoming, I really want to try it out and see whether your summoned demon is stronger or my power after advancing to level 7 is even more formidable!" The Golden Lion felt his entire body filled with energy, the sensation of his aura filling him up made him let out a loud roar, feeling exhilarated.

  The scene was still bustling, with the shouts of the Warrior Academy and the tension of the Magic Academy forming a stark contrast.

  "Up!" The nine-tailed fox extracted magic power from Xiaoming's body, its massive body shot out like a bullet, transformed into a fiery lightning bolt, and pounced on the Golden Lion. Wherever it went, there was a sea of flames, crackling and burning fiercely.

  Seeing the nine-tailed fire fox pounce over, the golden lion let out a cold hum and said coldly: "Die!"

  A surge of energy rose, like a deep blue ocean, blocking the golden lion's path. He moved his body and instantly transformed into countless illusory shadows, colliding fiercely with the nine-tailed fire fox's massive claws. Flames danced across the sky, and the arena's ground shook violently.

  Hush!

  A loud, ear-piercing clang, like metal crashing, made Xia Ming want to cover his ears.

  The enormous body of the nine-tailed fox retreated several steps, while the golden lion was even blown away by the shockwave from the two's battle. A seventh-level warrior may be strong, but it is impossible to withstand the power of a summoned demon spirit.

  Xia Ming let out a cold hum and hid behind the Nine-Tailed Fire Fox, reciting magic once again.

  "Shooting star fire rain!"

  "Tornado!"

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Ice flames ravaged, fire rain flew down, coupled with the arrival of strong winds, once again turning the arena into a stage of flames.

  "Grandma's, it's a good thing I didn't meet this Xia Ming in the competition, or else I'd be done for." A warrior who witnessed the scene cursed and said with a lingering fear and a face full of relief.

  "Explosive aura!" The Golden Lion let out a loud roar, and layers of explosive aura began to appear. After advancing seven levels, the Golden Lion's Explosive Aura could reach up to twelve layers, which was completely different from its original nine layers.

  But Xia Ming shook his head.

  The Golden Lion's strength is indeed powerful, but he is too reckless. Having just advanced to the seventh level, he doesn't know how to use his great power at all, and actually clashes head-on with the Nine-Tailed Fire Fox, it's really laughable.

  It's over.

  The flames raged towards the Golden Lion, swallowing it whole. The Golden Lion let out a mighty roar, its entire body covered in deep blue battle aura, almost merging with the icy blue flames. The Nine-Tailed Fire Fox also violently rose up, opening its large mouth, its sharp and pointed teeth tearing towards the Golden Lion!

  The fusion magic of meteor shower and tornado, greatly increased the power of the flames. With the addition of the powerful nine-tailed fox, even the Golden Lion was under immense pressure. The magic and the nine-tailed fox entwined, leaving no chance for the Golden Lion to get close to Xia Ming's side.

  "With a powerful body, yet unaware of how to utilize it, foolish!" Arthur, standing on the stage, shook his head in disappointment. Although the Golden Lion had made a breakthrough and become a 7th-level warrior, he was completely clueless about how to use this newfound strength, just like an infant who had suddenly been handed a divine sword, with no idea how to wield it, and might even end up cutting himself...

  "It's over." Murphy also lost interest in another corner and couldn't bear the final result, turning around and leaving.

  Boom!

  In the arena, the Golden Lion was entwined by the Ice Flame, and the Nine-Tailed Fire Fox took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, striking the Golden Lion's side and sending him flying completely out of the arena.

  A sudden commotion broke out, and cries of surprise rang out.

  The golden lion struggled to get up from the ground, using almost all his strength to barely stand up, but the injuries he suffered were too severe and he fell heavily again.

  He opened his eyes wide, with an incredulous expression on his face.

  How could this be? I've clearly already advanced to level 7, so how can't I even beat a level 6 magician?

  As the Golden Lion fell, the people of the Magic Academy finally woke up from their dream and began to cheer frantically.
