Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 658: Victory

Xiao Lin had hurriedly made over ten bottles of basic recovery potions, and Cheng Ming had gulped all of it down in a flash. He even licked his lips and smacked his mouth. However, the others did not think that he was there to test out the taste. Basic recovery potions would have very limited effects on his injuries and, on top of drug resistance restricting it, the effects would be greatly weakened.

However, if Xiao Lin’s words were true, and those potions did not produce any drug resistance, then even a miniscule effect would be equal to a strong potion after repeated usage.

Cheng Ming was feeling the effects. He suddenly widened his eyes, ignoring the protests of the therapists around him, he ripped apart the bandages on his body. On his bare body, there were still many scars of different sizes that remained from the first match. Even after an hour or two of treatment from the physicians, there was no way for it to completely recover in a short time. historical

Yet, those physicians cried out in shock, “Impossible!”

Due to the special nature of King Lycanthropy, Cheng Ming’s injuries had yet to fully recover, but those wounds had already become very shallow, and even started to scab over. Cheng Ming started to wave his arms and legs around, and excitedly noticed that there were no longer any problems. It served to prove that even his bones had recovered. Even though basic recovery potions only targeted light wounds, the effect of over ten bottles was still noticeable.

The Americans had ugly looks on their faces. Their president even walked over to repeatedly verify matters with the physician, but the results were the same. The potions they had given Cheng Ming had produced a great deal of drug resistance. Normally speaking, within at least 24 hours, other potions would not be effective on Cheng Ming at all.

However, the truth in front of them was obvious; Xiao Lin’s potion had worked, and it was quite obvious!

Facts trumped debate; even if it was from a purely scientific perspective, potions that had yet to go through the proper analysis could not be completely judged.

However, the match needed a clear victor, and the final power fell on that woman’s hands, so everyone’s gazes fell on her again.

The woman had an incredibly difficult expression on her face. She looked at the crowd, looked at Xiao Lin, and then glanced at Martin. In terms of her feelings, she liked Martin quite a bit. He was young and capable, and his talent was immense. She really wanted Martin to win, but Xiao Lin’s potion shook her as well. She could not wipe aside Xiao Lin’s accomplishments just like that.

The situation was at a standstill again, and the crowd could not help but smile bitterly. The tournaments had always featured the fiercest competitions, and there were many who lost their lives in the tournaments. However, no matter what they had thought, no one would have anticipated that the most intense match of the day would be a secondary profession match.

The secondary profession matches were something that had only been introduced in this iteration of the tournament. It was a form of encouragement toward the secondary professions from the academies. Too many people were not willing to step into those professions after they graduated, so the academies were forced to increase their performance. Even so, secondary professions were still secondary professions; they would never be as entertaining as fights.

However, their views had been overturned that day. No matter if it was Martin or Xiao Lin, the potions they made would not disappear after that day. It would cause even bigger waves in all the academies, if not the entirety of Planet Norma!

“I’ve lost.”

A heavy voice could suddenly be heard, and everyone looked over in astonishment. They saw Martin with his head lowered, and could not see his expression. However, his tone was filled with reluctance and sadness as he sighed, repeating, “I admit defeat.”

“Martin, the results still aren’t…” Raymond tried to stop him.

“It’s pointless, Raymond.” Martin smiled bitterly. “You all might not have noticed, but as a potioneer, after I looked at the list of ingredients, I knew that Xiao Lin’s potion is definitely the real deal. All he lacks is theoretical support.

“So, I admit defeat. That’s it.” Martin shook his head and left the venue. Others wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Raymond. Anyone could see that Martin was in a complicated mood.

“Ahem!”

The one in charge finally cleared his throat after looking at the situation, pulling everyone’s attention back. “Since Martin has surrendered, then Xiao Lin is the victor of this match. The current score is four to zero. Based on the tournament rules, the first academy to reach four points will win, so the winner of this round goes to Dawn Academy!”

Dead silence!

Everyone from Judge Academy widened their eyes, unable to accept it. They were filled with anger, but were unable to express it, especially those who were preparing for the team match. Based on past experiences, the ones who took part in the team matches were usually the elites, so it could be said that Judge Academy lost the round before their elites could even make an appearance.

However, the rules of the tournament were so, and they could only watch on as Dawn Academy celebrated.

“A very intelligent strategy! Congratulations!” Raymond quickly put his heavy expression away, revealing a calm look before he walked over and congratulated Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin did not know how sincere the congratulations were, and mulled over whether he should politely reply, but he felt like it would come off as too fake.

Raymond could see Xiao Lin’s awkwardness. Raymond smiled before saying proudly, “However, I regret to say that we won’t be so careless next time. I’m looking forward to the next time we face each other.”

Xiao Lin could not hold back a smile as well. That was right; based on the rotation of the group stages, each academy would host the other party once.

The loss might have been outside of Judge Academy’s expectations, but it was not something they could not accept at all. Being recognized as the strongest academy, the Americans had absolute confidence in themselves.

“Then I wish you good luck!” Xiao Lin said in the end.

“You too. That’s right, I should give you a heads up. Don’t underestimate your next opponents,” Raymond smiled as he said, not giving Xiao Lin the chance to ask any questions as he left with his team.

After the surprising win, Dawn Academy’s team did not stay for too long. After all, Judge Academy were the hosts, and it would not be nice if they celebrated for too long. So, they hastily left Judge Academy that evening, and did not stay on Earth for that long. They headed straight back to Dawn Academy.

In the following week, they would be hosting the Turkish academy.
