I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Rujing, have you investigated everything clearly?" Muxu was about to go up and talk to him when Manjusaka spoke first.

"Well, there are some things I want to tell Miss Manjusaka... Are you guys training?" Ru Jing glanced around and found that the knights who usually had high aspirations were unhappy, and Luo Shiqi was standing in the middle with an innocent look on his face.

You don't need to look to know that he was beaten into submission.

She just asked a question, but it increased the frustration of some people in the Knights, such as Reid Elvin.

“What do you mean? The Knights lost the competition because Luo Shiqi was too strong. If it was a woman like you who only knows how to gossip behind people’s backs, who knows how badly we would have lost!” He originally thought that his good brothers would be able to help him get revenge, but in the end, everyone joined him in his depression.

What's going on with this Rujing? Can't you see the atmosphere clearly?

If it wasn't for the captain's sake, I would have beaten him up long ago!

Unexpectedly, after these words came out, Rujing, who had been kind at first, suddenly changed her expression. She did not rush to explain, but glanced at Erwin's wound coldly: "Can it be worse than yours?"

"You!" Alvin was so angry that he almost wanted to curse, but when he thought about it carefully, it was true. Except for him, no one else was injured.

From the perspective of Rujing who had just arrived, wasn't he the one who lost the most miserably?

"If you have the guts, then fight him and see how long you can last!" Reid Elvin was of course unwilling to admit that he was too weak. He couldn't beat Big Brother Echo, and he couldn't defeat Luo Shiqi. But aren't you as powerful as you, a civil servant?

"It's not impossible. It just so happens that I haven't fought with others in a long time." Unexpectedly, Rujing happily agreed to the suggestion and stepped forward leisurely. Muxu had no intention of stopping her.

Erwin was a little confused for a moment, and he quickly asked the person next to him: "What's going on?"

"Don't you know that Lord Rujing was sought after by Lord Meicarlos and the captain because of his outstanding performance in the war a year ago, and our captain couldn't win. After Lord Rujing came to Liuguang City to take up the post of general manager, he still refused to give up and would come here whenever he had the chance." The man next to him also looked surprised.

How come Erwin knows nothing? How did he get into the Knights Templar?

"But isn't the General Manager responsible for coordinating the affairs of the entire town under the orders of the lord? If she really has that ability, why doesn't she ever show it in front of others?" Reid Elwin continued to ask without giving up.

"No one stipulates that magicians must do heavy work. Besides, Souji has a lot of things to do. What's wrong with knowing some martial arts?" The man next to him looked at him with disdain. In his opinion, Erwin was so ignorant that it was horrifying.

Hearing this, Reid Elvin looked as if he had eaten a fly.

He finally realized that he was not as good as he thought.

Truly outstanding people simply disdain to show off in front of others.

"The rules of the competition are very simple. Just stop when you are satisfied. Are you ready?" Muxu said to Rujing in a very gentle voice, and Manjusaka's old face turned red not far away.

What’s going on? Are these two people so close?

"Yes." Ru Jing smiled slightly, then turned to Luo Shiqi and said, "Please give me more advice."

"The competition officially begins!" As this voice rang out, Luo Shiqi took the lead. He waved the flute in his hand that had returned to its normal length, as if he was pulling a silk thread.

“Oh my god, this guy hasn’t been here before. Could he be killed instantly just because he didn’t know Luo Shiqi’s abilities?” A worried voice came from the Knights.

Ru Jing looked a little hesitant, but did not choose to dodge. She was brewing some magic in her hands.

If this is true, I wonder how happy those three people who suffered the defeat at the beginning would be. If we have to embarrass ourselves, everyone should do it together so that no one will be sad.

The moment the silk thread passed through Rujing's body, her movements were not blocked, but her body shattered like a mirror.

Almost at the same time, Luo Shiqi quickly retreated, and a dazzling light passed through his previous position.

"That's a good reaction, but it's not over yet!" Rujing's voice came from afar. The mirror light that Luo Shiqi dodged suddenly changed direction and attacked him again.

"Mutual at once. Your counterattack is stronger than I thought." Golden flames spurted out from Luo Shiqi's palms, directly dispelling the mirror light on the spot.

He didn't think Rujing would be defeated so easily, but he didn't expect to lose his opponent's position right at the start.

The results of the magic detection were not good either. The field was littered with broken transparent mirrors. It was obviously not ideal to manipulate the silk threads to fight in this situation.

Luo Shiqi waved the flute in his hand, leaving a burning moving trace in the air, which turned into flame ripples and spread out.

Dense silk threads carrying golden flames scattered out like raindrops, burning all the broken mirrors.

The flames were spreading and the number of broken mirrors was decreasing dramatically, but until the end, Luo Shiqi was unable to find Ru Jing's location, and he didn't even know whether she had been attacked.

No, it was clear that her aura had not changed.

But why?

It was a large-scale attack that covered almost the entire battle area, but it was ineffective against her.

Even if Ru Jing tried to resist, Luo Shiqi could lock her position with the energy generated by the collision of magic.

At this moment, Luo Shiqi suddenly realized something.

Maybe Rujing didn't hide himself through the mirror, but used some other means, such as creating an illusion?

Luo Shiqi waved the flute in his hand, pulled the silk thread, and shot it towards an open space outside the void barrier.

Sure enough, a broken mirror appeared outside the battle area.

Luo Shiqi's guess was correct. She could indeed create a sufficiently realistic illusion invisibly through the offset of the mirror light.

"Oh my God, it's dizzying. I can't see clearly at all." The knights who were watching were dumbfounded.

I finally managed to understand some of the details of the battle after watching Echo's demonstration just now. This is polarized light and refracted, so there's no way I can see what's happening.

As for your question about why he didn't use magic perception, Luo Shiqi started the large-scale bombing because he didn't know where Rujing was, so it would be a miracle if anyone else could find him.

Generally speaking, in a duel, strength is an important factor in determining victory or defeat.

People like Luo Shiqi not only have ridiculously strong magic, but also have a total amount of magic power as bottomless as the vast ocean. They can basically gain a crushing advantage in battle.

Ru Jing knew this very well, so she avoided head-on combat from the very beginning.

Her magic obviously lacked powerful offensive means, and the mirror used for defense would shatter at the slightest touch.

But her almost magic-like skills left Luo Shiqi with no place to use his skills.

Even though the fire was raging and the silk threads covered every corner, it couldn't force Rujing out. It was as if she was not there.

However, the broken mirrors everywhere and the mirror light flying out from the corner from time to time indicated that she had not left.

Some of the light beams even came from very close, but all Luo Shiqi found were mirrors.

Others were about to faint, but they didn't even see the mirror-like face.

Sometimes the magical reaction was very obvious, but she was just not there, which made Luo Shiqi wonder if there was something wrong with him.

Even if my vision is diverted, there shouldn't be any problem with my senses, right?

Wait, senses?

So far, no matter whether we look directly with our eyes or use magical detection, we have not been able to find the location of Rujing.

Logically speaking, her movement speed should not be that fast. After all, the golden flame explosion is extremely powerful and can affect a very wide range.

What if a mirror can deflect more than just light? What if it can also affect the senses?

"Misty Starry Sky!" Luo Shiqi played the flute. Silver silk threads turned with the sound of the flute and wrapped around his whole body.

The seemingly soft and thin line can form a perfect barrier to block all the mirror light.

Just when everyone thought that Luo Shiqi's attack would not work and he would be forced to defend, the sound of the flute suddenly became loud and high-pitched, and three silk threads intertwined together to form a double-team.

With a crisp sound, a smooth mirror surface suddenly appeared on the empty space where there was nothing, and the thick mirror shattered.

"I didn't expect that these silk threads can not only block the enemy's actions, but also help you eliminate the effects of other magic." Ru Jing didn't expect that her magic would be broken so quickly. She hurriedly escaped from the mirror and avoided the stranglehold of the silk threads.

Seeing this, Manjushage finally remembered that Rujing had commanded on the border battlefield for a period of time, and she could instill instructions directly into other people's minds through the mirror light.

Just now it seemed that the broken mirror was used to offset the light, causing errors in Luo Shiqi's judgment, but in fact his cognition had already been modified a long time ago, which was the reason for always avoiding Luo Shiqi's detection.

And now, even though her location had been found, she was not at all panicked. The magic mirror in her arms rose high into the sky, emitting a dazzling light that made Luo Shiqi unable to open his eyes.
