……
Immediately, someone in the guild started placing bets, and Makarov didn't stop them. For most mages in the guild, 1000J was just the cost of a meal. Winning or losing didn't matter much; it was all about having fun.
The vast majority of people in the guild bet on Macao to win, while a small number bet on Lu Li to win.
Seeing that Lu Li wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on challenging Macao, Makarov stopped saying anything. Letting this brat experience the difference between himself and a real guild mage would be good, so he could focus on cultivating magic in peace.
Soon, the group arrived at the back of the guild, where the lake had been refilled overnight.
The place is spacious, and there's no need to worry about damaging other buildings, making it perfect for a showdown.
"Go for it, monster rookie!"
"Go! Macao! Don't embarrass the old man!"
……
Many onlookers cheered and applauded.
"Mira, who do you think will win?"
Lisanna said to Mira.
"Hmph! That goes without saying. If Macao can't even beat a newbie who has just learned magic, then he might as well not be in the guild."
Mira said, arms crossed.
"But the magic Lu Li cast yesterday was very powerful!"
Gray said, "That magic is very powerful, but you need an opportunity to cast it."
Natsu said excitedly, "I can definitely beat Macao!"
Gray curled his lip in disdain: "You're just relying on your Dragon Slayer Magic."
Gray has fought Natsu countless times and knows Natsu's magic better than anyone else. All flames are ineffective against Fire Dragon Slayers and will instead become food for them, increasing Natsu's power.
Erza said, "Take a closer look. I think Lu Li must have his own reasons for choosing Macao."
Someone with such extraordinary comprehension could not possibly be so simple.
Makarov asked, "Are you two ready?"
Lu Li nodded.
"Then, let's begin!"
Makarov announced the start of the duel.
Marcao beckoned to Lu Li with a relaxed expression and said, "Kid, you attack first, otherwise if I make a move, you won't have a chance to attack at all."
"Then I'll make the first move."
Lu Li opened his right hand, and a fireball appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Macao laughed: "Kid, a simple fireball spell won't defeat me."
Lu Li launched it towards Macao.
Macao easily dodged the attack.
boom! !
The fireball landed on the rock behind Macao, shattering it with a deafening roar.
The loud noise startled everyone.
Wasn't Lu Li just using the most basic fireball spell? How come it was so powerful?
"Lu Li, what kind of fireball is that?"
"Oh, because you wouldn't let me use that spell, I modified the Fireball spell to make it a little more powerful, faster, and with less mana consumption."
"But as expected of Mr. Macao, I'll continue using magic then."
Macao's lips twitched. He then remembered that the little monster's greatest strength was its extraordinary magical creativity, and he regretted his overconfidence.
But having already spoken, how could he go back on his word? He could only stubbornly reply, "Bring it on!"
Swish!
Lu Li raised his hands, and a fireball appeared in each of his hands.
Lu Li first threw the fireball in his right hand at Macao.
Marcao quickly dodged, knowing the power of Lu Li's fireball, he dared not take it head-on.
Just as Marcao dodged, he saw Lu Li shoot another fireball from his left hand at him, and he quickly dodged again.
Before he could even regain his footing, Lu Li's fireball in his right hand had already taken shape again and shot over, while the fireball in his left hand also condensed once more.
Macao's face turned pale with fright: "Wait...wait...wait a minute!"
Lu Li was extremely excited at this moment and didn't hear what Macao said at all. It felt so good to be able to cast magic.
Boom boom boom boom boom! ! ...
Chapter Eighteen: Lu Li, the Victor
Lu Li kept throwing fireballs at Macao, bombarding it relentlessly.
Marcao was so frightened that he could only flee in a sorry state.
This scene stunned everyone else. This guy was casting magic too fast, and wouldn't his magic power run out quickly if he kept casting like that?
As a result, Lu Li bombarded the area for three minutes straight without running out of magic power. Moreover, judging from Lu Li's excited appearance, it seemed that he could unleash another ten or eight tenths of his magic power without any problem.
Lu Li was fine, but Macao couldn't take it anymore.
"Purple Flame!"
Marcao fired a ball of purple flame toward Lu Li's location.
Lu Li threw the fireball at the purple flames.
boom! !
The two flames collided, causing a violent explosion that produced smoke that obstructed the two people's vision.
This finally gave Marcao a chance to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry, Lu Li, I can't allow myself to lose here."
"Purple Rainstorm!"
Macao opened a magnificent purple magic circle in his hand.
A large number of purple flame projectiles were fired at Lu Li.
Boom boom boom boom!
Lu Li seemed to have no time to react, standing still, and was hit by Macao's Purple Flame Bullet.
"Oops!"
Marcao's expression changed upon seeing this. Lu Li's powerful firepower had forced him to unleash his true abilities.
They completely forgot that they were dealing with a child who had only just started learning magic yesterday.
Makarov was also somewhat worried when he saw this.
suddenly!
Bang!
A raging flame rose from where Lu Li was, blowing away all the smoke from the explosion.
Then they saw Lu Li, his entire body engulfed in flames, completely unharmed, and with an excited expression, he said:
"Is this Mr. Macao's magic? It's amazing! Don't stop! Come on! Keep going!"
Sweat beaded on Marceau's forehead, and a stiff smile appeared on his face as he said, "Really? I didn't hold back at all just now!"
"Come on! Mr. Macao, show me your full strength. Don't go easy on me just because I'm a child."
Macao's inner voice screamed: I didn't hold back at all!
However, he stubbornly said, "Since that's the case, then I won't be polite!"
As an adult and an elite mage of the Fairy Tail guild, he had his own pride, and he wouldn't allow himself to lose to a newcomer.
"Purple Rainstorm!!"
Macao placed his hands in front of him, and a dazzling purple magic circle reappeared.
It produced twice as many magic projectiles as the one-handed release from before, and its power was also much greater.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!
A large number of magical projectiles were fired at Lu Li.
Boom boom boom boom! ! !
Macao's magic bullet struck Lu Li, causing him to sway slightly but without any other effect.
"How can it be?!"
Everyone in the guild was shocked and incredulous when they saw this.
Who is Macao? Macao is a veteran mage in the Fairy Tail guild, currently in his prime. There are no more than five people in the guild who can defeat Macao.
This is why everyone is so confident that Marcao will win.
But what's going on now? Macao's flames have no effect on Lu Li at all.
"hateful!"
"Crimson Skynet!!"
Marcao transformed the purple flames into a net, binding Lu Li's body tightly.
Seeing that Lu Li was trapped, Macao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now.
call----!!
Flames erupted from Lu Li's body, igniting Macao's purple net.
"What?! My flames were burned?!"
Marcao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. His purple flames, which neither wind nor water could extinguish, were now being burned by Lu Li's flames.
Lu Li fully concentrated on the "Nameless Breathing Method".
Sigh!
Lu Li took a deep breath, inhaling a large amount of oxygen into his body, and then stomped his foot hard.
boom---!!
The ground beneath Lu Li's feet instantly cracked open.
Before anyone could react, Lu Li had already appeared in front of Macao.
"what?!"
"So fast—!!"
Lu Li placed his palm on Macao's abdomen.
Buzz————!
A dazzling magic circle appeared in front of Lu Li's palm.
Macao's expression changed drastically: "Oh no!"
Bang! !
A burst of violent flames erupted from Lu Li's palm.
"Ughhhhhh!!"
Marcao screamed as his body was sent flying backward by the impact of the flames.
Its body rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping, clearly indicating that it had lost its ability to fight.
