The arcane faction that Sephiria belongs to sounds very prestigious, but in fact it is just an emerging faction and has not yet mastered any key resources. The supporter behind the soul faction is the strongest peak soul master Yuwen Gewu, and the Great Bell Tower under his rule has monopolized all precious resources related to the soul. It can be said that the foundation and resource accumulation of the soul faction are quite strong. The elemental faction should not be underestimated either. The great library they control is a vital strategic resource for spellcasters. In particular, the great library is even more important than the black maple tree for wizards who pursue magical power. The knowledge contained in the great library is the key for spellcasters to advance to a higher level. This knowledge is the real crystallization of wisdom. Once mastered, it can open a new door for spellcasters and lead them to a higher realm. Sephiria's name sounds very awesome, but in fact she is miserable. As the rotating officer of the "Black Maple Courtyard", she leads the most powerful garrison corps on the Arcane Eternal Star - the Monster Corps, and is responsible for closing the abyss passage that suddenly appeared in the void.
This position sounds awesome, but in short, she is the bodyguard of the Black Maple Tree and the leader of a group of thugs. Whenever there is a change in a corner of the void, Sephiria must lead her team to deal with it quickly. These tasks are very tedious. Not only do they have to face various unpredictable dangers, but they also often need to deal with some thorny problems, and there is no benefit at all. Except for being able to secretly steal some of the output of the Black Maple Tree when she was the bodyguard of the Black Maple Tree, she hardly gets any support in terms of material resources. This is why Sephiria jumped out immediately when she heard the news about Lin Yi and Su Xiao. She urgently needs to make some remarkable achievements to urge the Supreme to tilt resources towards the arcane faction, because she knows that it is difficult to reverse the current predicament of the arcane faction by herself. The latest decision of the Great Elder has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Sephiria. It will be impossible for Sephiria to use her power to usurp the output of the Black Maple Tree. At the same time, the share originally enjoyed by the Arcane Faction will be completely cancelled. This decision is like a sharp blade, directly cutting off the lifeline of the Arcane Faction. Although the Arcane Faction has a large number of members, most of these members joined for the welfare benefits promised by Sephiria. If Sephiria fails to fulfill these promises, these mages are likely to choose to leave the Arcane Faction and turn to other factions with more development prospects. "Also, the Arcane Faction's visiting time in the Great Library will be halved. When it will be restored, wait for my further orders." The announcement of the Great Elder was like a heavy bomb, causing a huge shock in the conference room. If the previous decision on the Black Maple Tree only dealt a certain blow to the Arcane Faction, but did not touch the core, then this order undoubtedly directly shook the foundation of the Arcane Faction. The visiting time of the Great Library is regarded as an extremely precious resource in Arcane Eternal Star, and its value even exceeds the Soul Coin. Many mages are willing to pay huge amounts of money to obtain just one hour of visiting time. The reason is that the knowledge contained in the Great Library is of immeasurable value to the advancement of spellcasters. If spellcasters want to break through themselves, they must have a clear plan and conception for the future, and the knowledge in the Great Library is their valuable guide to reduce the detours of advancement. Therefore, the time share of the Great Library is particularly precious on Arcane Eternal Star. Many people choose to join the four major factions for the rich knowledge in the Great Library.
Now that the visiting time of the arcane faction in the Great Library has been halved, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the faction. If following Sephiria cannot even guarantee basic resources, then who would be willing to continue to work for her? "One more thing. Send someone to inform Yuwen Gewu that the soul resources allocated to the arcane faction by the Great Bell Tower will be halved. In addition, ask the person in charge of arranging the duty to transfer all the people of the arcane faction to the 19th mining planet to supervise the mining work." "Yes." A subordinate responded respectfully. The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely solemn. Except for the occasional speech of the elder, everyone else was silent. Everyone could feel that the elder was really angry this time. His set of silky little combos instantly put the arcane faction into trouble, almost on the verge of collapse. This sense of oppression made everyone present feel awed and dared not make any rash moves. "I'm very sorry, your time has run out. Please return the books in your hands and leave the library in the next five minutes." The artificial intelligence voice of the library sounded indifferently. Mark Abbott, an eighth-level spellcaster of the arcane faction, was immersed in the book in his hand at the moment. His mind was running fast, and his future plans had begun to take shape. But this sudden voice interrupted his train of thought, making his path to advancement once again out of reach. "What the hell? Shouldn't I have 3 system hours of use time this time? I've only used it for more than an hour now, did you make a mistake?" Resisting his anger, Mark Abbott glanced at the clock on the wall in confusion, confirming that only half of the time had passed. He began to wonder if there was a malfunction in the intelligent system of the Great Library. "Mark Abbott, a member of the Austrian Faction, this time the usage share is one and a half system hours." The artificial intelligence of the big library broadcast again, without a trace of emotion in the voice. The artificial intelligence of the big library ruthlessly broadcast Mark Abbot's share. After hearing it for an hour and a half, Mark Abbot's face showed an angry expression. "What do you mean? Didn't we agree that the allocated share would be three hours? Why is it only one and a half hours now?" Mark Abbot's voice revealed unconcealable disappointment and anger. But he soon realized that this was the Great Library, a place that required silence and respect. So, he suppressed the anger in his heart and carefully put the books in his hands back into the bookcase. After confirming that Mark Abbot had left the library as required, the artificial intelligence began to remind other members whose time had expired. On this day, members of the Austrian and French factions found that their visit time had been cut in half, triggering widespread dissatisfaction and protests. A large group of people gathered in the central area of the Austrian Law Faction. They originally chose to join this faction largely because of the various generous benefits. Now that these benefits have been reduced, there has naturally been a strong backlash. "What should I do? The teacher hasn't come back yet." Di Lin looked at the noisy crowd outside the door, worried. She quickly closed the curtains in the room. This was Sefilia's magic tower with strong defense facilities, so she was not worried that these angry mages would rush in. But how to calm down the anger of these mages left her at a loss. Ava, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hand and observing the farce outside the door with interest. "Don't worry about these people, we will make a decision when the teacher comes back." After Ava finished speaking, she drank the coffee in the cup in one breath. She had learned about the reasons behind this incident through some informal channels, and knew that it was the personal order of the great elder of the elemental faction. In this case, she didn't want to show up, lest she become the target of public criticism and be involved in unnecessary danger.
In a dispute of this level, it is best to keep a distance and wait and see what happens. At the same time, members of the Offa faction gradually discovered that the dilemma they faced was far more than just halving the visit time. Not only are the resources of the large library limited, but various other tasks of rationing resources and assignments have also begun to become difficult. In the past, members of the Austrian Law Faction were able to receive certain conveniences and preferential treatment in all aspects by virtue of their faction's name. However, this time they discovered that this name seemed to have lost its former power. When they try to seek assistance from other factions or organizations, when the other party hears that they are members of the Austrian Faction, not only will they not provide any convenience, but they will sneer and urge them to leave quickly so as not to disturb other people. This change in attitude made members of the Offa faction feel unprecedented frustration and helplessness. They began to realize that this incident was not a simple resource adjustment, but might involve deeper factional struggles and conflicts of interest. In this context, they have to rethink their position and future path choices. In the VIP seat of the Void Arena, Sefilia was concentrating on the competition below, but her mind drifted to the distance, thinking about Dicky Curtis, the assassin sent to kill Lin Yi. Just when she was full of expectations, Morton and others returned to the VIP seats again. Sefilia originally expected to see anger or disappointment on their faces, but to her surprise, there was no emotion at all on these people's faces, as if they had just finished a relaxing outing. "How come?" This scene made Sefilia feel uneasy. Sure enough, not long after, two of her disciples sent news, telling her in detail a series of problems that the Arcane Faction had encountered recently. After hearing this news, Sefilia's face gradually became serious. Sefilia naturally saw that this was the revenge of the elemental faction, but she was really helpless now. Because those resources are originally in the hands of the elemental factions, if they allocate the resources on the grounds that they are in urgent need, it would be difficult for Sefilia to offer an effective rebuttal. After taking a look at the Void Arena, Sefilia decided to leave the occasion. She knew in her heart that the Austrian Law Faction, as her base, must not be allowed to fall apart. Seeing Sefilia leaving the scene in a hurry, meaningful smiles appeared on the faces of the people around her. All the major forces have their own spies on the Arcane Eternal Star, and they naturally know everything that happens on the Arcane Eternal Star. More than ten hours later, Lin Yi was sitting in the office treating a patient who had just come in. It can be said that Lin Yi has benefited a lot from these more than ten hours, because there are many races in the void, and even if only a small number of people come to seek medical treatment, he has accumulated rich medical experience. In the past, his main contact was with humans or humanoid creatures, and he had relatively little treatment for alien creatures. This experience just made up for his shortcomings in this aspect. "How are you doing here?" Just when Lin Yi had just sent away a patient, Lilim's figure appeared in front of him. "Is it time?"
Seeing Lilim, Lin Yi had a look of surprise on his face. He almost forgot that the main purpose of his trip was to participate in the Void Arena. There was no way. He had spent the past ten hours treating patients and almost forgot that he was here to participate in the Void Arena. "How long have you not slept?" Lilim frowned as she looked at the two layers of dark circles around Lin Yi's eyes. "Only a dozen hours." Although Lin Yi's current physique would not have a problem with not sleeping for a few days and nights, it would depend on the situation. During these ten hours, Lin Yi had been in a state of high mental concentration. Unlike the intense excitement during battle, treating a patient required long-term concentration and careful observation, which undoubtedly caused a huge consumption of his mind. During battle, the body would naturally secrete adrenaline to refresh, but there was no such physiological mechanism to support him during the treatment process. "Forget it, I have just repaired the teleportation array. You should go back quickly. I have to go to the Fa-destroying place later." Lilim sighed, feeling that her trip here was a life of hard work. Back at the notary office, Lin Yi immediately smelled a faint smell of blood. At this moment, many contestants were sitting or standing in the notary office. Compared with the bustling crowd before, the number of contestants now was significantly reduced. There were originally 260 contestants. According to the 1V1 elimination system in the first round, theoretically, 130 contestants should advance to the second round. Reality is always crueler than theory. After the first round, there were only 76 contestants left. In the fierce battle, casualties are inevitable. Some contestants died in the duel, while others were seriously injured after completing the first round. Although these people have obtained the qualification for promotion, their physical condition cannot support them to continue to participate in the next round of the game. If the progress continues at this pace and the battle is fierce enough, there may be less than 20 contestants left at the end of the second round. Lin Yi wants to complete the fifth round of the game, that is, to get the top 20. Once the remaining contestants are less than 20, he will directly pass the fifth round of the Devil Castle. After completing the trial of the Devil's Castle, Lin Yi had many choices, either to continue to strive for the top three, or to give up and return to the reincarnation paradise. The atmosphere in the notary office seemed a little depressing. This depression not only came from the cruel rules of the arena, but also because most of the contestants were injured. "The results of the second round of drawing are completed, and the arena will reopen in 30 minutes." The voice of the snake-haired girl echoed in the notary office, and all the contestants' nerves were tense, and they all checked their number plates. After Lin Yi took out the number plate, one side of the number plate was written with 32/213, which meant that Lin Yi's opponent was contestant No. 32. At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly heard a familiar call-"Woof!" Turning his head, he saw that Bubuwang seemed to have just crawled out of a black coal mine, his whole body was black, and he had completely lost his original white hair. And Xiaoxue was also in a mess, with dust on his blood-red skin. Xiaoxue wanted to wrap around Lin Yi's wrist, but was rejected by Lin Yi, saying that he would wash it after returning. "Did you two go to Africa to do business?"
Bubu Wang was a little embarrassed, and his eyes seemed to say: "It's hard to describe, life is full of hardships, and customers are a bunch of idiots." "You're back too." Su Xiao's voice also came from the notary office. From the slightly tired look on his face, it can be seen that Su Xiao probably didn't rest much in the past two days. After seeing Su Xiao, Bubu Wang took out two tablets from his personal space and handed them to Su Xiao and Lin Yi. These were all the information Bubu Wang had collected about the contestants during this period. "Yu Lu, from the Holy Wing Clan, has wings on its back, is good at flying, and flies very fast. The weapon is feathers + some kind of energy, which is similar to the nature of mind ability. It is suspected to be obtained after the purification of vitality. It does not have the variability of mind ability, but it can improve the penetration and sharpness of feathers. After being eroded by life energy, the speed is obviously slowed down, bleeding will not stop, and it will suppress the regeneration ability or recovery energy..." This is Su Xiao's opponent. Bubu Wang's description is very comprehensive. Although he never participates in frontal battles, he still has good eyesight. Lin Yi then looked down at the information of his opponent on the tablet. "Yan Lei, a dwarf, is meters tall and extremely powerful. His weapon is a heavy hammer that is even bigger than his height. He can transform during battle. After the transformation, Yan Lei's height increases from meters to about meters. After the transformation, he is suspected to have the ability of magic immunity or some kind of immune control. Yan Lei has a skill that can throw the hammer, which can stun the opponent for three seconds. The transformation time is not long, about 45 seconds, and Yan Lei's movement speed is very slow after the transformation, so he can choose to play like a kite..." Bubu Wang collected a lot of information about Lin Yi's opponent, and even attached a battle video of the opponent. After clicking it, Lin Yi saw a dwarf appear on the screen. He was short, but his muscles were as strong as a sculpture. His beard covered his weathered face, adding a bit of rugged temperament to him. And his opponent was a mage. The battle began. The mage pointed his finger at Yan Lei, and several blazing fireballs shot at him at a rapid speed. Just as the fireball was about to hit him, Yan Lei's body suddenly began to expand rapidly. His originally short body of only meters suddenly soared in front of everyone, until it reached an astonishing height of meters. The hammer in his hand seemed just right after he grew bigger, as if it was tailor-made for him. Big fireballs bombarded Yan Lei's body one after another, but these seemingly fierce attacks did not have much impact on him. The flames only made his armor slightly charred, but he himself was as still as a mountain. Yan Lei held the hammer tightly and pointed it at the mage opposite. An illusory huge hammer phantom gradually condensed in his hand. Although this illusory hammer was not a physical entity, it exuded a frightening power. With a roar from Yan Lei, the illusory hammer rushed towards the mage with a thunderous force.
Seeing this, the mage hurriedly held up the magic shield to try to resist the fierce attack. Incredibly, the illusory hammer actually penetrated the magic shield of the mage directly. The mage's eyes showed an expression of disbelief. He obviously had not expected this situation. But it was too late. The illusory hammer hit his body hard. The huge impact made him freeze in place and fall into a short state of dizziness. Before the mage recovered from the dizziness, Yan Lei's hammer had already fallen down mercilessly. The power of this blow was so great that it instantly smashed the mage into a pool of mud, completely ending the battle. As the battle ended, Yan Lei's transformation effect gradually faded. His body returned to its original size, and his face showed a deep fatigue. Obviously, this transformation was also a huge burden for him. The scene ended here, but this was enough for Lin Yi. From the existing information, Yan Lei must not be Lin Yi's opponent. Lin Yi's purification technique is simply a natural counter to Yan Lei. In the arena, the yellow sand was stained with blood, and the audience seats were noisy. The battle had lasted for more than 20 hours, and these spectators certainly would not watch the whole process. As the sun rises, a new day begins. After the audience gradually returns, the second round of competition is about to begin.
