Constructing-Style Wizard

The seawater turned into a thick black color, dull and lusterless even under the sunlight. The boundary between the sea and the sky at the horizon was distinct. The sky remained cloudless and deep blue, while the sea looked like a stagnant pool of water, filled with an eerie silence that frightened people.

The deep sea water in this world not only has an extremely high degree of salinity, but also has complex and extraordinary traits, particularly an astonishing corrosiveness.

Just imagine, 80% of the star pollutants that fall from the Star Filtering Net end up in the ocean. These star pollutants slowly release their pollution and extraordinary traits like medicinal herbs soaked in a jar, and as long as time is long enough, the star pollutants will eventually dissolve in the seawater, becoming one with the vast ocean.

With only a casual scoop of deep-sea water, several kinds of toxins, uncontrollable mutation factors, and peculiar magic effects can be detected. This proves how formidable the strength and survivability of the sea people living at the bottom of the sea are.

Thankfully, there’s Captain Berkeley, a Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage, and his magic ship, keeping discomfort from the deep sea at bay. Passengers are able to enjoy a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere during their deep-sea journey.

“Dear passengers, we are currently in the deep-sea area 315 kilometers east of Alchemist Island. This deep-sea area is known as the ‘Blackfold Sea’ and is divided into 80 subsea regions. Each subsea region has its own Mist Threshold.

“The magic ship is currently traveling at 14 kilometers per hour. In the next 21 days, we will cross the Blackfold Sea and enter the ‘Sword Treasure Sea’ located in the outer sea region west of Baldur’s Gate. If the weather is clear and the visibility is excellent, passengers will be able to see Baldur’s Gate rising from the eastern sea on the noon of the 21st day. It is a civilization monument left over from the last era, resembling a magnificent sword the earth. Wishing you all a pleasant journey.”

Captain Berkeley’s words were being played on a loop through the magic strip above the shipboard town’s streets.

Noland Lee glanced up at the dynamic characters on the strip, then walked into the arena with Denise, pulled open by the magic servant.

The arena was located on the southwest side of the shipboard town, near the stern of the ship.

It looked like a short, fat cylinder from the outside, with just over twenty meters in width and over thirty meters in height.

Upon entering, one would discover that there was more to it.

A magical space covering more than a thousand square meters was fixed on the magic ship, becoming the venue for the Barron Championship matches.

A circle of spectator stands surrounded the central octagon cage.

The chairs in the audience seats were plain and simple, just single wooden chairs that were comfortable to sit on.

The octagon cage, however, was quite interesting. It was a magical creation, made of strong magic metal that formed the base and fence, and was equipped with an enchanted fence net capable of absorbing magic energy.

With the protection of the enchanted fence net, audiences could safely watch the dazzling competitions.

Noland Lee and Denise sat down in the competitor’s exclusive audience seats.

His eyes focused on the enchanted fence net, and he cast Deconstruction on it.

[System Message:]

[You are about to use Deconstruction on the “Enchanted Fence Net (Level 60).”]

[It is estimated that it will consume 60,000 points of energy and reach a 100% degree of deconstruction]

Noland Lee nodded in agreement.

He should be able to get the reward for these 60,000 points of energy. As a competitor, it was reasonable for him to hit the enchanted fence net with his spells when his opponent dodged his attack.

His gaze shifted to the competitors who were gradually taking their seats in the stands.

The Barron Championship only allowed Extraordinary beings of fifth order and below to participate. The matches and opponents of competitors, like Noland Lee, who only appeared to have a single circled strength as a wizard, were completely determined by the competition system. It’s very likely that they would meet two-ring, three-ring, or even five-ring wizards who came to join in the fun.

Wouldn’t the five-ring wizards be able to sweep all the rewards by participating?

No, that wouldn’t happen.

Before entering the Magic Octagon Cage, the competitors will wear an “Imprisonment Collar” on their wrists, which can suppress their strength to the first level.

—- Right, it is worn on the wrist, not around the neck. Wearing this punitive device, which has a buckle and magic gem, around the neck of a competitor is somewhat insulting. So, competitors usually wear it on their wrists like a watch, except for those with special preferences.

According to ‘The History of the Ulnas Ring,’ the ‘Imprisonment Collar’ was a magical product of the last era. At that time, most human wizards were slaves of the Dragon Clan. Up to this day, the Dragon Clan has almost disappeared, only occasionally appearing in the Spinning Continent. Human wizards have flourished and spread the seeds of civilization across the world, and turned the shackles imposed upon their ancestors into magical items for competitions.

Anyone who knows the origin of the ‘Imprisonment Collar’ would marvel at the rise and power of human wizard civilization and the vicissitudes of the world.

Noland Lee was no exception.

But his attention was focused on the ‘Imprisonment Collar’ itself, rather than its historical connotations.

He had heard about this item before and was finally seeing it in person now.

The staff of the Barron Arena, who maintained order on the scene, distributed the ‘Imprisonment Collars’ to the hands of each competitor.

The collar had a number on it and was attached to the belt in the form of a label sticker.
