How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Not long after the match between Wu Guo and Tian Feng ended, the top eight were announced.

They are the Wu Squad, the Light Squad, the Undead Squad, the Incense Squad, the North Sea Squad, the West Demon Squad, the South Poison Squad, and the Sea Clan Squad.

Dragon Valley and Beast Valley did not participate in the resource competition. Except for the Wu team, the other eight finalists were from the top ten forces. If the Wu team did not defeat the Donghua Sect team, the top eight would all be from the top ten forces.

The Wu Guo team actually successfully advanced to the quarterfinals! This news was like a bombshell, and the entire team was immersed in great joy. Feng Bo and Wang Zhanjun's faces were filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and those loyal fans who had always firmly supported the Wu Guo team cheered excitedly.

At this moment, the members of the Wu Guo team did not forget to share this hard-earned glory with the fans. They enthusiastically interacted with the fans and enjoyed the joyful atmosphere brought by the victory. However, in this noisy and bustling scene, there was a figure that seemed a little out of place - that was Long Dong. He looked pale and seemed to be in poor health, so he left the scene early.

Although Long Dong was missing, the others were still immersed in the satisfaction brought by the achievement of the quarterfinals. After all, for them, being able to reach this point was beyond their expectations. Now the worst result can be eighth place, and the cultivation resources that the eighth place can obtain are already considerable, which can be said to be a generous reward.

As time went by, the list of the top eight was finally settled. A few days later, the highly anticipated match results were officially announced...

Wu Guo Team vs South Poison Team

Light Squad vs. Dead Squad

Incense Squad vs Beiming Squad

Western Demon Team vs Sea Tribe Team

During the days of anxiously waiting for the matching results, Long Dong always felt that his physical condition was abnormally bad. The discomfort was unbearable. He often felt extremely uncomfortable suddenly, and then quietly returned to his room to rest. This frequent behavior naturally attracted the attention and doubts of people around him. Everyone couldn't help but wonder: What happened to Long Dong?

That day, Feng Bo asked with concern: "Long Dong, are you okay? You don't look right!" Long Dong tried to suppress his physical discomfort, forced a smile and replied: "Well... I'm not feeling well. Maybe I ate something bad at noon." However, this reason was too far-fetched. You know, as a Saint-level strongman, his physical fitness has long surpassed that of ordinary people, and he doesn't need to rely on food to maintain his life activities. How could he be so weak because of a bad stomach?

Feng Bo obviously had doubts about this explanation, but he didn't know what to say. Wang Tingting, who was standing by, was even more worried. She knew that Long Dong was not an ordinary person. If he hadn't encountered a serious problem, he would never behave like this easily. When Long Dong proposed to go back to the dormitory to rest, Wang Tingting reached out to stop him without hesitation, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Long Dong, are you hiding something from us? If you really have difficulties, you must tell us! We are good friends and can find a way to solve it together." Facing Wang Tingting's questioning, Long Dong felt warm in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and responded: "No, don't think about it! It's just that the previous injury has not been fully healed, and I need to take good care of it to recover my vitality. Don't worry, I will be fine. Well, let's not talk about it for now, I have to go to rest quickly. Bye, see you tomorrow!" After that, Long Dong turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Feng Bo and Wang Tingting standing there with worried faces.

Wang Tingting knew Long Dong inside and out. She knew that Long Dong always said good things and never told others about his troubles. Originally, Wang Tingting was going to grab Long Dong and ask him about it, but who would have thought that Long Dong would slam the door shut without saying a word. Wang Tingting had no choice but to leave in dismay.

In fact, the reason why Long Dong did this was simply because he didn't want people around him to worry about him. You know, if even he collapsed, then their Wu Guo team would probably stop at the quarterfinals.

At this moment, Long Dong was resting alone in the room. He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on mobilizing his spiritual energy to figure out which part of his body was out of order. However, surprisingly, after carefully checking for a long time, he couldn't find anything unusual.

At this moment, Zheng, who had been lurking deep in Long Dong's mind, seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Long Dong, so he asked with concern: "Long Dong, what's wrong with you?" Long Dong frowned and replied: "Well, I don't know the reason. I always feel that my body will have some minor problems every now and then. Look, I'm trying to find the root of the problem!"

Zheng asked seriously, "Have you figured out what's wrong?" He stared at Long Dong, hoping to get some clues from him.

Long Dong frowned and replied, "No! I really can't figure out what's going on no matter how hard I try. Just talking about my body, the injuries I suffered in the last battle with the devil have long since healed completely. I even checked my internal organs and there's nothing wrong with them. But the weird thing is that I still feel uncomfortable every now and then, which is really puzzling."

After hearing this, Zheng decided to check it out himself. He looked at Long Dong carefully from head to toe, but still did not notice anything unusual. Long Dong's physical condition seemed to be very good, and all indicators showed normal.

Zheng couldn't help but wonder: "This is weird, there's obviously nothing wrong, what went wrong?"

Seeing this, the Blood God at the side also stepped forward to help check. However, after a careful observation, the Blood God also failed to find any flaws. Everyone was suddenly in a daze, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound. It turned out that the Jinghong sword in Long Dong's hand made a sound. Long Dong quickly took out Jinghong, and then a ray of light flashed, and a figure floated out from the sword - it was Feng Yuxi!

Feng Yuxi said solemnly: "I know the reason. Long Dong, in my opinion, you are most likely cursed by the devil Hilbagon." Her words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar in everyone's hearts.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and shouted in unison: "Curse?" Their voices were filled with disbelief and fear.

Even the usually calm Long Dong couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "Curse?" He thought to himself, demons usually have unique and powerful special abilities. Could it be that the demon Hilbagon's specialty is to cast curses?

At this time, Feng Yuxi said, "It should be correct. I was trapped in that sword for a long time, and I know the ability of Hilbagon very well. As far as I know, Hilbagon has a terrifying skill - to cast a vicious curse on others. Once someone is unfortunate enough to be cursed, their body functions will gradually decline, and eventually they will fall into the abyss of death."

Long Dong's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment. He really couldn't accept such a fact. After all, he had successfully put Silbagon to death. But why did this strange curse still linger? Could it be that this curse was eternal? So how could he break this annoying curse? How abominable! This damn Silbagon created such a difficult problem for Long Dong before his death.

The fierce battle with Hilbagon left Long Dong seriously injured. It took him two days and one night to wake up from his coma. After that, it took him a long time to heal his wounds. However, when Long Dong finally recovered, he often felt unwell.

At first, Long Dong thought that this discomfort was a sequelae of his injuries that had not yet healed. But now that he knew the truth, he suddenly realized that it was all caused by the terrible curse of Hilbagon.

Feng Yuxi: "Among the people I have seen, those who were cursed died very quickly. It is the first time I have seen someone like Long Dong who was just feeling unwell. Shilbagon is a demon with god-level strength. His curse will continue to exist until it is removed. This is not uncommon."

Long Dong: "How do I get rid of this curse? It makes me feel very uncomfortable! I feel uncomfortable every day, how can I do this?"

Feng Yuxi: “I don’t know.”

Everyone was speechless.
