Instantly, Li Hui transformed into a snow-white Heavenly Feather Dragon, its long, narrow snout exhaling a chilling breath towards Nuo Xi.
In terms of physical attributes, pure dragons have always been at the top.
The two immediately engaged in combat. Even though Li Hui was still in the form of a level 2 dragon, who said that one couldn't use magic after transforming into a dragon?
It will only reduce the staff's bonus, but for Li Hui, it's not a big deal.
Nuoxi delivered a powerful elbow strike to Li Hui, but the force felt like hitting cotton. Before she could amplify the damage with her magical advantage, Li Hui's claws descended from her head, accompanied by azure lightning.
"Two old coins." Gu Qingci almost spat out the wine in his mouth, looking down at the scene with a somewhat speechless expression.
These days, witches are all so cunning and manipulative when they fight. Is there ever going to be a fight like this?
She could clearly see that as the two fought and dodged the star-studded decorations, the patterns spreading from Nuoxi's sword and shield never stopped.
Correspondingly, the marks around Li Hui's eyes, like broken ice and snow, never ceased.
"Now it all comes down to how well the two of them understand the truth. Tsk, can't they just have a proper fight?" Yang Xiling agreed. The two's private actions couldn't escape the eyes of the Great Witch.
"Indeed, the best way to fight the forbidden faction witches is from outside the arena."
The people in the private room nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, as the two continued their fierce battle, those strange patterns eventually spread all over the entire training ground.
Nuoxi used Li Hui's attack to break free from his entanglement. She clutched her stomach, but a smile appeared on her face.
"Forbidden, Bug, Black Box!"
Nuoxi raised her sword and shield, gazing intently at Li Hui.
"Now, it's my turn!"
Chapter 173 The Modulator of World Rules
As Nuoxi finished speaking, those strange marks seemed to come alive, eroding the training ground like termites.
There seemed to be muffled groans and tearing sounds, and a distinct sense of alienation began to emanate from the training ground and the audience seats.
Just like the name of this spell, Bug Black Box, its effect is to remove an area from the original rule system and turn it into a pure black box.
However, this was clearly beyond the little witch's capabilities. Nuoxi could only barely maintain the intermittent withdrawal, more like covering the area with a semi-transparent curtain.
But it's enough.
"You need to be careful!" As Nuoxi spoke, a transparent screen appeared in front of her, seemingly showing something being edited.
However, the image of someone wearing medieval heavy armor and carrying a sword and shield looks rather strange no matter how you look at it.
Inside the private room, Ai Li'er slapped Jiang Kehan's hand away and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "Kehan, let Nuoxi see things from her perspective."
Jiang Kehan nodded, her expression turning serious. Without Nuoxi's perspective, she could no longer understand the other person's behavior.
How strange, a forbidden faction... Jiang Kehan couldn't help but worry about Li Hui below, but her attention was soon drawn to Nuoxi.
On the transparent screen in front of Nuoxi, there was an editing syntax that resembled what programmers often encountered in their past lives, with a massive amount of information flashing by rapidly.
Jiang Kehan could clearly see that Nuoxi was using magic according to a certain "grammar," interfering with the original rules.
Li Hui, who was facing him directly, sighed softly and transformed back into a human under the white mist.
"So you got your way after all? But you're not the only one who knows the bugged branch of the forbidden faction."
As if to confirm Li Hui's words, the screen appeared before her eyes.
"Huh?!" Nuoxi couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking a little dazed for a moment.
When did she leave the "permission"...? Nuoxi began to recall the details of Li Hui's actions just now, drawing out some unused thought lines.
Could it be that her transformation into a dragon was actually a cover for her influence over this area?
The principle behind the "bug" branch is actually quite simple: it utilizes the "loopholes" in the original world to bring about a forced effect. In the hands of the Great Witch, it can even destroy the universe.
However, both the Little Witch and the Middle Witch need to first separate the area from the world's constant "self-healing" process, creating a black box environment.
The patterns and textures in the process of building a black box determine the "permissions" that allow interference once the black box is built.
Nuoxi instantly understood Li Hui's actions, and her mind was in a state of confusion.
If Li Hui also had "authority", the balance of power would shift back to the center. Only by taking advantage of the fact that she has more "authority" than Li Hui and quickly eliminating the opponent would there be a chance!
With this in mind, Nuoxi added the "program" she had already woven to this place by exploiting a vulnerability.
"bug: White Tile!"
There was no trace of spellcasting, no warning, and no logic whatsoever.
A huge white block suddenly appeared where Li Hui was, like an eraser wiping away the pencil marks left on paper; only blankness could describe it.
After a brief appearance, the white patch gradually disappeared, and the surrounding environment seemed to fill the blank space like flowing paint.
"Really?" Jiang Kehan swallowed hard. "Is this power really something a little witch could achieve?"
This force, stemming from the erosion of the rules, left her with no way to defend herself; even her prized magical power was utterly ineffective in this situation.
That makes absolutely no sense!
Ariel was also somewhat surprised: "If I didn't know that Nuoxi started stalling for time to construct a black box, I would have already lost."
"To beat her, we must defeat her before the black box is even opened; we can't afford to delay any longer!"
Jiang Kehan looked at Li Hui with some confusion, seemingly unable to understand.
"Then do you think Li Hui could have dealt with Nuo Xi from the beginning?"
The annihilation of Li Hui's magic power brought immense destructive force. Jiang Kehan did not believe that the opponent's spell list and combat talent would be so difficult, even though Nuoxi was prepared.
"Didn't you notice?" Ariel was somewhat surprised. "The main purpose of the school team selection is to showcase our abilities. Li Hui has been holding back from the very beginning."
"She has already put herself in the position of a teacher. Look, she is now showing off her skills and teaching."
Jiang Kehan then shifted her focus to Li Hui and was immediately speechless.
At this moment, Li Hui appeared behind Nuo Xi. She raised her index finger and gently tapped Nuo Xi's head, which was not wearing a helmet.
"Before using the bug, remember to hide the program first, otherwise the enemy with the necessary permissions can see it."
Nuoxi did not turn back, and Bai Kuai once again took Li Hui's place, forcing the other party to leave.
She had lost all confidence in escaping from Li Hui's grasp. This "bug" series required a lot of mental effort, and at this point, her control over her body had dropped to a dangerous level.
"You...do you have two heads?" Nuoxi looked at Li Hui, who had reappeared in front of her, with great seriousness and asked.
She couldn't understand why the other person could pay attention to the position of the white blocks while looking at the program, and still run around like nothing was wrong.
“That depends on your understanding of the rules, but my magical properties also gave me a slight advantage.” Li Hui looked at Nuo Xi with a slight smile and said, “If you hadn’t insisted on weaving the black box, I wouldn’t have won so easily.”
Just as Yang Xiling had predicted, entering this environment was a contest of the two people's understanding of the truth.
It's clear that Li Hui is not only confident, but also capable.
“Bug tampering.” She casually entered her program, and everything around her, except for the positions of her and Nuoxi, was replaced by white blocks.
"If you had the advantage of the complexity of the Origin faction's magic and your superior magical power, the fight would have been much more troublesome for me than it is now."
"So, this time you're in the negatives when it comes to understanding your opponent."
Seeing that Nuoxi was still unwilling to give up and was desperately trying to turn the tables by controlling her permissions, Li Hui once again took out his rapier and pointed it at her.
"Finally, don't plan your tactics before you start; unexpected events are the norm in witch duels."
The white block appeared abruptly and then disappeared just as abruptly.
This time, it took away Nuoxi, who had nowhere to hide.
"So, to defeat the forbidden faction, you need to be on the sidelines." Yang Xiling rubbed her hands together, snatched a cookie from Gu Qingci's hand, and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation.
"The Forbidden Faction, especially the Scientific Witches, doesn't have the original mindset suitable for duels. As long as you guide your opponent to use the wrong tactics, victory is already obvious."
Gu Qingci rolled her eyes at her, her small mouth slightly open, and even her body temperature of thirty-six degrees Celsius couldn't hide the coldness emanating from her breath.
"Is this your reason for losing nine out of ten battles against the forbidden faction witches?"
It's famous! It's famous!
Yang Xiling pointed at Gu Qingci, unable to even swallow the biscuit, feeling only regret, deep regret.
If I hadn't stolen the cookies, I might have been able to shut the other person up.
“Very exciting and excellent.” Wu Yuhan stood up and walked towards the door. “Nuoxi lost only because her opponent was Li Hui. Few little witches know more about the truth than Nuoxi. It’s just that she was unlucky this time.”
Or rather, Origin Witches have a natural advantage in experiencing and understanding truth, and are not on the same level as normal witches.
“But I’m planning to recruit Jiang Kehan. Do you want to go?” She turned around and looked at Shan Lin and Yang Xiling.
Both of them waved their hands, with wry smiles.
Shanlin said with a hint of regret, "Who can compete with you? Besides, young people might have more to talk about with each other."
Wu Yuhan raised his head slightly, then left with Qiao Wen.
Chapter 174 Straightforwardness Isn't Just a Cure for Arrogance
On the other side, Li Hui had already returned to the door of the private room. Her jet-black hair fell down on both sides, her left leg was slightly bent backward, and her toes touched the ground, ready to dodge.
She won't let herself be taken advantage of twice in the same place!
But when Li Hui carefully pushed open the door, somewhat unexpectedly, the two lively characters sat obediently on the sofa, picked up their water glasses, and seemed to be deep in thought.
She looked at Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier with some curiosity, walked to the sofa opposite them and sat down, bringing the two of them back to reality.
"What are you guys thinking about?"
The two were immediately startled awake. Jiang Kehan put down her water glass, her eyes somewhat dazed, but when she saw Li Hui across from her, she still smiled and said something.
"We're just thinking about the team's configuration. We feel that everyone has their own strengths, but it's still quite difficult to coordinate them."
"Oh? You already have ideas?" A peaceful smile appeared on Li Hui's face, like a loving mother watching her child who had never grown up suddenly have his own ideas.
Jiang Kehan shuddered violently and rolled her eyes at Li Hui.
"What kind of look is that? Do you think we're that unreliable?"
Li Hui chuckled sheepishly and spoke honestly.
"I do not know."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and asked with a humph.
