The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord

Chapter 6

Lin En's mind was calculating rapidly. Although he was a first-level wizard apprentice, he was only a first-level wizard apprentice after all.

Although the "Spirit Shaking Technique" he mastered could have a significant impact on ordinary people, the situation in front of him was completely different.

All candidates who could enter the furnace assessment were people with wizard qualifications.

In other words, their innate mental power was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

"The effect of my "Spirit Shaking Technique"..."

Lin En frowned slightly, and he had already concluded in his heart that the effect of this witchcraft on the blond man would inevitably be lower than the description in the "Primary Meditation Method".

"One strike... I only have one chance."

His eyes gradually focused, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

He knew very well that he was not good at close combat and had not received any combat training.

The blond man in front of him was strong and could not make any mistakes.

What "Spirit Shaking Technique" could provide was a short period of confusion.

According to Lin En's understanding, if the target was an ordinary person, this period of time might last about five seconds.

However, the opponent was also an apprentice with wizard qualifications. Lin En estimated that the effect of witchcraft would only last for two to three seconds at best.

Two or three seconds, for a master who is good at fighting, is enough to complete a fatal blow.

But for Lin En, it is obviously far from enough.

His physical fitness is average, and his body has not been rigorously trained.

If he cannot quickly approach and hit the opponent's vital points in a short period of time, this life-and-death duel will completely lose the chance of winning.

"When he is about to come over, he will definitely detect my breath or the traces left. This means that I can only seize the only opportunity to attack, and there will be no second chance..."

Lin En's thoughts became calmer and a feasible plan gradually emerged in his mind.

He knew that he must not panic, and he must not act rashly.

Not far away, the blond boy led the ground rhinoceros slowly into the deeper forest, as if looking for any fish that had escaped the net.

Lin En held his breath and hid behind the thick tree trunk. His powerful mental power tried his best to capture the movements around him until the footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared completely.

At this time, he slowly lifted the breath-holding technique, exhaled a long breath, and then raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

"The plan has been made... but the difficulty of implementation still makes my heart beat fast..."

Lin En took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and glanced at the several tattered robes on his body.

He picked out a longer piece of cloth and carefully tied it to his ground rhinoceros.

Then, he quickly looked for a suitable ambush site in the forest.

After selecting a place with large undulating terrain, Lin En tied the ground rhinoceros to a thick tree, and deliberately hung a piece of rag behind the tree. From a distance, it looked like someone accidentally exposed the corner of his clothes.

Time was running out, and he knew that the blond boy might return at any time. A layer of fine sweat soon oozed out of his forehead, but even so, Lin En always suppressed his anxiety and remained calm.

"Three steps in the plan, bait, weapons, and killing! The first step is completed!"

Lin En looked around and chose the ambush point near several uneaten corpses.

Since it was too laborious to move the corpse, he simply chose a position close to the corpse to avoid wasting time.

With the advantage of the mental power of a first-level wizard apprentice, Lin En had an extremely clear memory of the surrounding terrain. He quickly simulated the possible sight angle of the blond boy:

"A student who is checking the corpse, the ground rhinoceros is next to him. Looking from that road, he can just lock the target at a glance..."

After confirming the ambush site, Lin En dragged two corpses around the ambush point, while holding a broken bone left by the dead in his hand.

The fracture of this bone is irregular and the edge is sharp, like a natural blade.

"Breath holding technique!"

After all preparations were completed, Lin En quickly performed the breath holding technique to completely block his own breath.

He carefully hid his body under the two corpses and quietly waited for the arrival of the prey.

Although the corpses had not yet rotted, the feeling of being in the same place with the dead still made Lin En shudder, and nausea and fear surged like a tide.

But he knew that this was the only way he could think of in a short period of time. If he didn't stay with the dead now, he would be found by the blond boy and become a dead man!

He resisted the discomfort in his heart and completely integrated himself with the environment, not daring to make any sound.

Finally, his sharp ears caught the footsteps coming from afar.

The footsteps gradually approached, and each one was like a heavy hammer hitting Lin's heartbeat.

"Tap!"

"Tap!"

The sound was clear and heavy, with a cold rhythm.

The corners of the blond boy's mouth curled up a cruel smile, and his eyes were fixed on the shadow of the robe that was looming behind the tree.

After hunting more than 20 people in a row, he became more and more adept at this hunting game.

Except for a few strong examiners who delayed his time a little, the rest were like little white rabbits delivered to his door.

Of course, "a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit." The blond boy didn't know the size of the person behind the tree, so in order to prevent accidents, he decided to approach carefully first.

At this moment——

"Roar!"

A low roar suddenly sounded!

A ground rhinoceros jumped out from behind the tree, its nostrils opened, obviously smelling the scent of a stranger, and roared angrily at the blond boy.

Lin En, who was lying in ambush under the corpse, felt his heart pounding.

He knew the characteristics of the rhinoceros very well. Once it sensed the breath of danger, the ground rhinoceros would take the initiative to protect its master.

And this was the key link in his plan!

The appearance of the ground rhinoceros really made the blond boy slightly stunned, but then, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Opportunity!"

He knew that this was the moment when the opponent's flaw was exposed, and for him, this must not be missed.

"Die!"

The blond boy sneered, exerted force suddenly, and pounced on the ground rhinoceros like a cheetah.

As a person who had been trained as a knight, his movements were swift and precise, holding a sharp bone spur in his hand. It was a weapon he took from the bones of the dead, specially prepared for killing.

His target was originally the opponent's neck, but due to the sudden roar of the ground rhinoceros, he had no time to adjust and could only stab directly at the exposed part behind the robe.

"Swish--"

The bone spur tore the robe effortlessly, but the next moment, the blond boy's pupils suddenly shrank.

No one!

There was no one behind the tree!

"What's going on!?"

The blond boy was stunned, but before he could react, a strong sense of dizziness came over him and completely submerged him.

"Shock the Soul" was activated!

Lin En had been prepared for a long time, waiting for this moment!

At the moment when the blond boy rushed out, he decisively performed "Shock the Soul".

The blond boy's movements stagnated for a moment, his body shook slightly, and his originally fierce expression suddenly became confused.

He lost his mind and completely lost control of the trajectory of his attack. Not only did he fail to hit the target, but he also lost his balance and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Lin En's nerves were tense, and he took this opportunity to push away the two corpses on his body. He held a sharp bone blade in each hand, and a crazy ruthlessness flashed in his eyes!

"Now!"

He rushed towards the fallen blond boy like a hungry tiger, throwing away all fear and hesitation, and raised the bone blade to stab the opponent's head and neck frantically!

Once! Two times! Three times!

Lin En's arm seemed to be infused with infinite power, and the bone blade stabbed the blond boy's eyes, neck and other fatal parts one after another.

Blood splattered, and the fishy smell rushed into the nose, stimulating Lin En to vomit, but he didn't care at all!

Although the effect of the shaking spell was short, it was enough to decide life and death.

In just two or three seconds, the blond boy completely lost his ability to react and became a target for anyone to slaughter.

However!

"Roar!"

After the shaking spell was over, the blond boy suddenly jumped up, roaring like a mad beast, and tried his best to throw Lin En away.

"Ah--!"

Lin En fell heavily to the ground, and the bone blade in his hand also slipped out of his hand.

The violent impact caused a tearing pain all over his body, and his head was hit hard by a hammer. The severe pain and dizziness attacked him at the same time, making him almost unable to move.

The blond boy covered his neck and eyes, and the pain made him roar like a beast.

He reached out and touched the wound between his face and neck. The blood was dripping, and the hot liquid slid through his fingers.

"No!"

"Impossible!"

He gritted his teeth and roared, holding the bone spurs tightly with both hands, stabbing around like crazy.

His eyes were already blurred, and he could hardly see anything. Blood kept pouring out from his cheeks and neck, dyeing his whole body blood red.

At this moment, he was like a devil crawling out of hell, exuding a suffocating murderous breath.

At this time, Lin En was exhausted, and his whole body was sore and weak.

He lay on the ground, cold sweat on his forehead, and he barely opened his eyes with all his strength.

The scene in front of him set off alarm bells in his heart - although the blond boy was staggering, his strength was obviously greatly reduced.

But the bone spur in his hand was still waving wildly, like a dying trapped beast, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

Blood gushed out from the blond boy's neck, and his frantic struggle and waving made the blood gush more rapidly, and the sticky red liquid soon covered his whole body.

Every time he moved, he brought up a blood mist, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was suffocating.

"Hold on... Hold on a little longer..."

Lin En gritted his teeth tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, forcing himself to stay awake for the last time.

He stared at the blond boy without blinking, and his heart was tense to the limit.

Finally, the wildly waving arms gradually stopped, the blond boy's movements began to slow down, and the shaking body was no longer stable.

As the blood ran out, his strength was completely exhausted.

"Plop--"

The blond boy's body finally couldn't hold on, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Deathly silence instantly enveloped the bloody land, leaving only Lin En's rapid breathing.

Lin En lay stiffly, staring at the body of the blond boy, as if he couldn't believe that he was still alive.

His throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. The tension in the depths of his soul finally relaxed, and an indescribable feeling of fatigue surged into his heart like a tide.

"I won..."

He murmured in a low voice, with a bitter and relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.
