Sui Li’er also looked at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling smiled and said, “Why don’t you give it a try?”

Sui Li’er quickly shook her head, “Me? I can’t…”

Chen Ling nodded, realizing it might be a bit too challenging for her. Even if Sui Li’er knew how to defend, she temporarily didn’t have the speed to type it.

He then turned to Zen Douzhi and said, “You try.”

Zen Douzhi: ??? Me?

“Brother, you’re overestimating me!”

“Stop talking. Just do it.”

“Well… okay!” Zen Douzhi clenched his teeth and approached the altar, frowning as he tried to figure out how to break the spell.

Then, he slowly pressed the start timing button. His hands started to swiftly edit the runes.

His speed was quite fast, but compared to Ling Yi, he was undoubtedly much slower. After all, he didn’t have as many opportunities to interact with such advanced equipment, coming from a less privileged family.

Sui Li’er stood on the side, amazed at Zen Douzhi. She didn’t expect him to be skilled as well!

However, Zen Douzhi continued to frown with a serious expression on his face.

He couldn’t defend against it at all! All he could do was try to reduce the damage and buy some time for Chen Ling.

〚 Ding~ Spell completed! 〛

At the sound, the two spells collided. A powerful surge of magical energy erupted in the arena.

Everyone looked on.

But Zen Douzhi’s spell was shattered as if it was feeble.

〚 Ding! HP -60! Attack and defense reversed. 〛

“Ah..” Zen Douzhi sighed helplessly. He knew there was a way to defend against it, but he just didn’t have Ling Yi’s speed.

“Uh~” Sui Li’er looked at her own health bar, which had dropped significantly, and her heart sank.

Actually, losing 60 hit points was already considered low. If this were a real battle, she would have been killed by Ling Yi’s spell.

Zen Douzhi also took advantage of the machine’s features and managed to survive another round.

〚 Ding! Attack and defense reversed. 〛

This time, it was Chen Ling and Sui Li’er’s turn to attack.

Chen Ling touched Sui Li’er’s head and said softly, “You go again.”

Zen Douzhi: ??? What’s going on? Boss! Stop showing off! The assessment is more important!

“Again? I don’t want to, I’m terrible…” Sui Li’er also felt a bit discouraged; she knew her own abilities very well.

Chen Ling shook his head, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

“Okay, then…” So, after pressing the start timing button, Sui Li’er’s little hands slowly began typing on the keyboard.

But it was evident that this time her speed was much faster. As time went on, her speed increased, and she became more familiar with the key positions. Chen Ling stood behind her, nodding in approval. Indeed, she lived up to being his wife.

Zen Douzhi was a bit surprised to see the change in person.

“What do I do… It seems there’s not enough time!” With only 10 seconds left, Sui Li’er still had several hundred characters to input for the spell. She started to panic, and her hand trembled, accidentally pressing the wrong key.

Just at that moment, she felt Chen Ling’s body bump into hers. “Uh!?”

His arm wrapped around her waist like a snake, and his other hand caught her typing hand. He whispered, “Don’t rush, leave the rest to me.”

Then, in the remaining seconds, Chen Ling held her with one hand while rapidly typing on the keyboard with the other.

Three seconds.

The hundreds of runes were inputted.

〚 Ding~ Spell input completed. 〛

Zen Douzhi and Sui Li’er didn’t see what happened clearly; they only saw a flash, and everything was over. The spell in front of them immediately took shape.

This was an intermediate exclusive spell for Aries. It required at least the strength of a high-level Intermediate mage to cast. Sui Li’er had intended to use this spell earlier, but her typing speed wasn’t enough, and she couldn’t complete it.

This time, Chen Ling helped her with a few hundred characters, completing it just in time.

He never taught Sui Li’er this spell. She had memorized it all by herself when she observed others in the battle. A few thousand characters, within two minutes, she managed to remember them all! Her memory was enough to be called a genius.

“Wow! It worked!” Sui Li’er blushed with joy, and she happily bumped her little hip against Chen Ling.

“Cough~” [Still Mind!]

Seeing this, Luo Yuxiu smiled and gave a thumbs up to Sui Li’er.

At this moment, Ling Yi spoke up, “Will you defend, or should I?”

“You do it,” Luo Yuxiu said without any intention of taking action. It didn’t matter who defended; Sui Li’er’s spell, although successfully completed, wasn’t very powerful.

Then, in less than a minute, Ling Yi finished editing the spell.

The two spells collided and completely canceled each other out.

〚 Both spells nullified, HP -0 〛

“What a pity,” Sui Li’er muttered softly.

But Zen Douzhi didn’t think it was a pity at all; he even felt fortunate. If Ling Yi had attacked instead of defending, their health would have been reduced to zero instantly.

This time, it was Ling Yi’s turn to attack.

Another powerful spell formed, still the “Thousand Nights of Darkness,” but its speed was even faster than the last one. Then, Ling Yi looked at Chen Ling with a smiling face.

Will you defend?

“Thousand Nights of Darkness” will deduct 60 hit points in one shot, and they’ll be left with 40. If they don’t defend, they’ll be defeated.

Zen Douzhi looked at Chen Ling, awaiting his response.

“Big brother… you take over, I really can’t defend against it…”

“Yeah… otherwise, we’ll lose~” Sui Li’er added.

Chen Ling chuckled softly, “Then I’ll handle it.”

Zen Douzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, glad that Chen Ling was finally willing to step in.

Sui Li’er felt delighted and said, “Then I’ll move aside~” as she tried to leave Chen Ling’s embrace. However, he pulled her back gently and whispered, “Stay still.”

“Huh? Oh~” Sui Li’er blushed, glancing at Chen Ling’s hand holding her waist.

〚 Ding~ Target Sui Li’er, shy, points +10 million! 〛

Chen Ling smiled, moved his fingers, and then started typing rapidly on the keyboard.

A burst of clattering sounds echoed in the air.

Zen Douzhi looked up in shock, only to find an array of runes densely appearing before him. Those runes seemed to appear one after another, rapidly filling up the entire space.

Sui Li’er gazed at the lingering traces of Chen Ling’s hand movements, her mouth slightly open, lost in amazement. His hands moved like vibrations, causing her to tremble slightly.

Now, that’s called speed.

〚 Ding! Spell completed, Aquarius·Clear Sky Lunar Cage! 〛

〚 Congratulations on breaking the fastest record, completing it in 1 minute and 55 seconds, with 333,900 runes entered. 〛

???

!!!

Everyone in the arena looked on in astonishment.

“Clear Sky Lunar Cage?! Isn’t that a curse spell?”

The Clear Sky Lunar Cage was the city-wide imprisonment and defense control curse spell released by Huan Yingying during the Nanyun City incident.

“Over 330,000 characters in 2 minutes? Is this person even human?”

“Over 2,000 runes per second on average?”

Of course, it’s not that Chen Ling pressed over 2,000 keys per second. It’s just that pressing certain keys would produce multiple runes. Who knows how many keys he pressed in one second. It’s just something beyond human capabilities.

“What was the previous record? Just over 1,000 runes per second?”

“Is he cheating or something?”

At this moment, not only were the instructors in the arena astonished, but even the two forbidden curse masters nearby, including Yan Ran who was beside them, showed shocked expressions.

What speed? Even the two of them couldn’t do it.

It’s too far-fetched. It’s basically impossible.

On the other side, Luo Yuxiu and Ling Yi looked blankly at the simulated spell in front of them.

The spell energy from the curse spell had already spread throughout the entire arena. The lights in the simulation field dimmed, and most of the magical energy was absorbed by Chen Ling’s curse spell.

To simulate the energy of a curse spell requires an immense amount of magical energy.

“Is… is this really a Curse Spell?”

“Wow! This person must enter our God Academy! We absolutely can’t let the Devil Academy have him!”

“This is terrifying! With him, we’ll win every simulated battle!”

“He’s a god! Really damn amazing!”

Zen Douzhi also closed his mouth, looking at Chen Ling in horror: You’re not telling me that you are a curse master?! Why did a curse master come to join the assessment…

No, wait. Did I just grab the thigh of a curse master?!
