It's a really simple and unpretentious reason.
As for whether Wu Yuhan has any special privileges?
Running to the Whirlpool Society's preparation area was already a reasonable use of her authority, but running directly to the audience seats was a different matter.
Witches are equal; they believe that you reap what you sow. This means that without buying a ticket with witch gold, even a great witch has to find another way.
Because Witch Gold is the embodiment of giving.
This principle is also an important reason why Witch Gold can maintain its value.
Because as long as you have enough Witch Gold, you can really get the Great Witch to do things for you, and you don't have to worry about the Witch Gold depreciating, giving you a strong sense of security.
Bai Bingbing clenched her hands tightly, but eventually slowly loosened them.
She gazed at Hera in the dueling arena with a complicated expression and said, "To be honest, I really want to go down and beat up this dragon-type witch. Her appearance is like trampling on all the efforts of the other little witches."
“If it were any other competition, I wouldn’t say anything, and I might even just watch it for fun.”
"But the Witch Preliminary Tournament is meant to be the purest stage for these underage dueling witches, to tell them that striving in duels is the highest principle."
This is why there are no foreign players on any of the teams.
In other competitions, there are even professional dueling mercenaries who join different teams each season to earn money.
Wu Yuhan turned his gaze to the dueling arena, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Ignoring her status, Wu Yuhan has only been an adult for a year, which is why she sometimes seems a bit pretentious.
She didn't speak, but simply watched the duel quietly.
……
The arena is located in a dense forest filled with swamp poison.
Xiao Ting was panting heavily, her hand holding the staff trembling slightly.
From the moment she stepped into the duel arena, she forcibly withdrew the power she had lent out and the interest she had received, briefly raising her magic power to 3000 points.
This would give him the ability to harm Hera.
Each stage of a witch's life is not a simple upgrade, but a complete transformation, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
The middle witch can withstand most of the little witch's attacks purely through her physical strength, making it difficult to even break through her defenses.
Even the powerful debuffs that the Little Witch fears as scorpions and snakes are like a simple yawn to the Middle Witch; once she casts them, everything is fine.
Not to mention the witch's even more powerful spells and magic.
Hera, sitting opposite Xiao Ting, was like a cat teasing a mouse, smiling and crossing her arms as she witnessed Xiao Ting's struggle.
The swampy fog that Xiao Ting took seriously was like a uniquely flavored perfume to her, not worth mentioning.
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? I'll take them all." Hera's tongue was very long, even slightly barbed. She licked her lips and spoke with great interest.
Xiao Ting did not change her mood because of Hera's provocation; she remained unusually calm.
Under immense pressure, the witch's desire to evolve was fully unleashed, and driven by magic, it even sprinted her towards adapting to her environment.
Scales began to overlap on her skin, new hidden gills grew on her lower jaw to filter poison gas, and her sharp claws grew longer and longer in order to break through Hera's defenses, along with her wings.
Xiao Ting is a pure witch with no alien blood. These adaptations are all due to her body's autonomous adaptation under the circulation of 3000 points of magic power.
But none of this could change her loathing for Hera.
As for the other little witches, they didn't have 3000 points of magic power, so they weren't qualified to improve under Hera's pressure, which was completely contrary to the original intention of the duel.
"The Desolate Dragon Witch... so she's someone who enjoys bullying the weak?" Xiao Ting said coldly.
Hera, sitting opposite her, looked somewhat embarrassed, her golden pupils dilating and contracting like a kaleidoscope, giving her a rather sinister appearance.
"Little one, all you want to do is win. Do you think I'd expect you to put any pressure on me?"
Hera vanished from Xiao Ting's sight in an instant, leaving behind a roar of questioning and unrestrained laughter, turning the surrounding trees into wood chips.
Xiao Ting subconsciously stacked protective spells and quickly dodged around, but she still took a hard punch from Hera.
Without magic or enhancement, only the power that the Desolate Dragon Witch is best at, Xiao Ting grunted and, like a soil turner, slid straight from the center of the duel arena to the invisible barrier.
Hera flapped her exaggerated golden dragon wings, which were taller than three times her height, yet they did not create the slightest breeze. In a highly illogical manner, they transformed into golden meteors and rushed towards Xiao Ting once again.
"Do you even know what a Wild Dragon is?!"
"Endless power is like air in a balloon; it just keeps expanding out of thin air, without caring whether it will burst us."
"Only by fighting, fighting against stronger enemies, can we digest this power until the next cycle begins."
"The desolate dragon is merely a messenger of nature, forever fulfilling its pathetic mission until the day it is torn apart."
"Those days were like being a patient given a death sentence; all the struggles were just to prolong the death..."
Then came even louder laughter, even more arrogant and joyful laughter.
"But I won!"
"Among hundreds of wild dragons, only I became a witch, escaping this endless death, and even gaining a stronger and faster growth rate as a result."
Hera paused briefly in mid-air, her hands raised high, her immense magical power folding the entire dueling arena in half, transforming it into a cage that imprisoned Xiao Ting.
"So tell me, what's wrong with wanting to win?!"
"I want more resources, more battles, and more honors!"
"The so-called Desolate Dragon was born for this purpose."
She looked at Xiao Ting with some regret, her expression gradually becoming serious: "This is just our means of survival from beginning to end. The only difference is that I am a tyrant, a foolish tyrant."
"So I don't care about shame, all I care about is victory!"
A golden meteor flashed by, shattering the entire dueling arena. Countless tiny fragments floated on the surface—no, it was Xiao Ting falling at an even faster speed.
The light seemed to be getting further and further away, and the surrounding debris was like the embers of life counting down. Xiao Ting felt her life fading away and gently closed her eyes.
I'm sorry everyone, I lost...
Chapter 276 Pre-Battle Intelligence
Before Xiao Ting could even open her eyes after being resurrected, someone took her hand and pulled her to sit down.
"How are you feeling?" It was Ya Rou who spoke. She looked at Xiao Ting with some trepidation, worried that the other party might have some extreme thoughts.
After all, she knew how much effort Xiao Ting had put in to get onto the final stage, and as the team captain, Xiao Ting also wanted everyone to win the most.
Now, they could have won the chance to participate in the final battle by fighting normally, but suddenly Hera, who doesn't know martial ethics, appeared. No one would feel good about that.
But Xiao Ting was unexpectedly calm and even seemed lost in thought: "I'm fine."
After opening her eyes, she pulled her hand away from Ya Rou's and looked at Jiang Kehan with a serious expression.
"Who are you planning to send to fight Hera and Jolie Quentin?"
Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier exchanged glances, their expressions turning serious. They knew that Xiao Ting intended to provide them with intelligence based on her own experience.
“Zooley Quentin will probably open the match, so I’ll go up and face her,” Jiang Kehan said after thinking for a moment.
"After all, although the opening match is worth 5 points, only official players are allowed to participate, so Hera has no chance to play."
Xiao Ting raised her head slightly and spoke to Ya Rou.
“Zullie Quentin is not an opponent to be underestimated. I don’t even have enough confidence to beat her. I would only have a chance to go toe-to-toe with her if the circumstances are right.”
"Ya Rou, you fought with her before, could you give a detailed account?"
Ya Rou placed her slender fingers on her chin, her tail swaying gently as she drifted into memories.
“Zully Quentin’s fighting style is different from ours, which is also related to the fact that she only uses forbidden spells.”
"The biggest difference lies in the environment, which is why Xiao Ting needs a suitable environment to be evenly matched with her opponent."
"Because Jolie Quentin can forcibly cover up parts of the environment and create her own territory, the environment is always a special blessing for her."
“If the environment is bad for us, then we are at a disadvantage, but if the environment is good for us, Jolie Quentin will remain unaffected.”
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but glance at Solita, who had practically demonstrated the impact of the environment on the duel.
"And what about Jolie Quentin's raw talent?" she asked.
"Very strong." Ya Rou's expression was somewhat serious.
"As a little witch, she is almost invincible. Xiao Ting's 5% win rate is due to her ability to rival the strength of a middle witch in a short period of time after taking out the loan, and then taking her down in one fell swoop."
"If she cannot be taken away, Xiao Ting will almost die a slow death due to environmental interference."
Jiang Kehan fell into deep thought, then frowned and asked.
So, you can't fight a war of attrition? You have to rely on explosive bursts of power to find a chance of victory?
Ya Rou gave a wry smile and scratched her head in frustration.
"Maybe I'm just too bad. I got defeated in the war of attrition phase, but I have a feeling that she also has a strong burst of power."
"So you must not be reckless. Fighting against Jolie Quentin is the ultimate test of tactics."
"If you unleash your burst damage, your opponent might be able to survive thanks to the vampire witch's powerful vitality. But if you fall into a state of weakness after your burst damage, then it's her turn to unleash her burst damage."
"Moreover, the taboo faction is the most mysterious. I didn't even have a clue how Jolie Quentin would erupt, and I couldn't prepare in advance."
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but glance at Zuli Quentin across the street. She knew the Witch's Tavern didn't accept idlers, but she hadn't expected everyone to be so powerful.
Her colleague is not to be underestimated.
"What about Hera?" Jiang Kehan asked.
"Although Hera says she doesn't care much about her reputation, she won't step up unless she's about to lose."
It was Xiao Ting who spoke, and she looked directly at Li Hui.
"In other words, Hera's appearance was entirely predictable and we were well prepared for it."
"If I'm not mistaken, besides Jiang Kehan, you're the only one who has a chance to defeat her, Li Hui."
Li Hui stroked his chin, recalling the moment he "shaked hands" with Hera.
"Yes, if Jiang Kehan opens the tournament, then I will be facing Hera, and I am prepared for that."
Xiao Ting laughed, and she even couldn't help but hum softly.
"Then you must give Hera a good beating to avenge us."
