"What!"
Looking at the repelled lightning ball, Ou Gao's expression changed immediately, and he swallowed the lightning ball with his mouth.
Like the ErLong Magic, the ErShen Magic also has the ability to swallow the same element magic. The black lightning ball is wrapped in blue electricity. As long as he eats the blue electricity, he can dissipate the attack.
"Don't talk so much nonsense. Let you see what it's like to have lightning that can kill even gods!"
After swallowing the blue lightning ball, Ou Gao covered his body with black lightning, turning into a black lightning bolt and charging towards George.
His fist, twice the size of George's body, was wrapped in dark lightning and seemed to be able to break through the entire earth.
"Destroy Deity Magic · Raging Thunder Strike!"
"Get out!"
George didn't move a step as the punch was about to hit him.
But, his golden tail suddenly swelled to a diameter thicker than a column, striking out with blue lightning like a whip before it reached Ou Gao's bear-like sturdy body.
It was because he used giant magic to locally enlarge his tail and then used lightning to strengthen the power and speed of his tail.
Ou Gao's fist was only a centimeter away from George, and the person seemed to be hit by a train directly, flying out and hitting the stone wall of the arena's outer hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You still don't believe me when I say we're not on the same level, do you? I didn't even put in much effort, and you're already lying down. Just admit defeat quickly, it's for the best!"
George retracted his tail and placed his cat paws behind him, looking like a master.
The noise on this side immediately drew the attention of all the audience, and even the battle of the magician on both sides of the ring also temporarily stopped, looking at this ring in the middle.
After all, Ou Gao is an S-class magician, who could instantly annihilate the mechanical magician gorilla in the qualifying round with a single move.
Even for top guilds' magicians, they also recognize and respect Ou Gao's strength.
Originally, they thought it would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. However, unexpectedly, Cat George was just a tail, and Ou Gao had fallen to the ground. He even hadn't used any powerful magic yet. Was this gap in strength too big?
"You have truly angered me, and now, even if it might result in your disqualification and the loss of the match, I will no longer hold back."
On the other side, Ou Gao weakly stood up, spat out the blood in his mouth, and gathered all his remaining magic into both hands.
"This is an ultimate move that I haven't fully mastered yet, so I can't control the power. If you die, don't blame me!"
With a roar of anger, a black magical array appeared, and an enormous black lightning rod as thick as a water barrel shot towards George.
"Ershen Magic·Thunder God's Particle Cannon."
"Hmm, this magic looks decent. I know a similar one myself."
George saw the incoming black lightning rod and with a snap of his claws, a terrifying amount of lightning energy gathered in his hand, making all the other magicians feel nervous.
"Normal Magic·Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon!"
The blue lightning rod shot out from George's claw, colliding instantly with the incoming black lightning rod.
Unfortunately, one of the lightning rods solidified like a solid entity, while the other just barely took shape.
So the stalemate lasted less than a second before the blue lightning rod directly dispersed the black lightning rod and struck directly into Ou Gao's chest, propelling him out again.
This time, Ou Gao's entire body was directly pushed through the three-meter thick special magic stone wall of the venue before stopping.
"My. My. My is Ershen Thunder, how can it lose to ordinary lightning?"
A stream of unwilling tears rolled down his eye corners as Ou Gao was left completely injured and unconscious.
"The magic is good, but mainly you are too weak."
Before Ou Gao lost consciousness, George added another insult.
If they had equal strength, naturally Ou Gao's black thunder was stronger. But unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. Even if George used only ordinary lightning, with its increased volume, it could easily overpower Ou Gao.
It's like two soldiers with similar physical strength, the one wearing armor will definitely be stronger than the one without. But when a soldier wearing armor meets one hundred soldiers without armor, they can still be easily knocked down.
"The first winner of the first round of the match between the Tail George of Fairy Tail and the Sword Piercing Tiger Ou Gao has appeared! Tail George of Fairy Tail wins, giving a perfect score to the Fairy Tail guild!"
After a moment of shock, the host's excited voice echoed through the arena, and the audience burst into cheers once again.
"Fairy Tail!"
"Fairy Tail!"
"A real waste to our guild, a loser doesn't deserve to be part of my guild!"
Below the arena, the leader of the Sword Piercing Tiger, the robust elder named Jerman, had his veins on his forehead bulging and exuded a powerful aura.
In order to participate in this Grand Magic Director's Cup competition and make the Sword Piercing Tiger guild famous, he hasn't taken over as the guild leader since integrating the Sword Piercing Tiger guild.
However, he didn't expect that this was the first match of the official tournament and he had lost so badly.
"After all, it is a former strongest magician guild, but there is only one of them. Their final total score will inevitably be less than ours. There's no need to attach too much importance to it."
"Our focus should be on the guilds like Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Tail, and Serpent Princess Scale, who are our true rivals for the strongest guild."
"Ou Gao, his strength will be needed in the next match. My father, please bear with him and let him make up for his mistake."
A woman standing next to Jerman, dressed in a cheongsam and holding a fan, like a noblewoman, spoke up and pleaded.
After hearing the woman's words, Jerman, who was outraged, slightly thought for a moment before nodding weakly and trying to restrain his anger.
"Mineba, just do as you said. First, send him back for treatment."
"Absolute Territory · Space Transfer."
Mineba activated her spatial magic, and Ou Gao, who was severely injured and unconscious, disappeared on the spot and was transferred directly to the medical room at the back of the venue by her.
George flew down from the ring and landed on Leqi's shoulder. Seeing Ou Gao disappear with Mineba's transfer, he turned his head and looked at Mineba from the Sword Biting Tiger guild.
"A rare spatial magic that can teleport over a distance. It seems there are still many magic arts I don't know about out there."
"I can use phantom teleportation and instant teleportation. However, I must touch the body. So, it's really difficult to teleport someone over a distance without touching them."
After George's match was over, it took quite some time for the other nine rings to finish their matches.
This person-to-person competition arranges magicians with similar strengths together, so the battles cannot end as quickly as his match against Ou Gao did. Instead, they are fought to a standstill.
In some cases, matches between magicians with too similar strengths ended in exhaustion of their magic powers, and it was only through physical strength that one managed to slightly win out.
This made for an exciting viewing experience for the audience.
