Chapter 544: 175. Group ridicule_3
The healing effects of the Resurrection Spell were astonishingly amazing.
Bright flames shot out from Denise Green’s torch and swept over Noland Lee’s left hand. The wounds that were illuminated instantly stopped bleeding. Accompanied by a tingling sensation, the wounds visibly began to heal, regenerating fresh flesh and skin.
While enduring the strangeness of his left hand and checking the results of the deconstruction, Noland unexpectedly discovered that the “Hatred Value” on the “Resurrection Magic Potential” had dropped again.
He was slightly stunned, pretended to look around the competition venue, and let his gaze sweep over the spectator stands where the witch had been before.
Those wizards surrounding the witch, sneaking glances at Noland’s bloodstained hand, whispered and the hostility in their eyes obviously dissipated a lot.
It seemed that his deliberate portrayal of misery had allowed the other party and their peers to find a psychological balance, so the “Hatred Value” would decrease.
Noland’s heart was filled with slight joy.
Sometimes, making himself look miserable on purpose wasn’t a bad idea.
About 3 minutes after the tingling sensation in his left hand, Noland’s injury healed completely, leaving no trace of the horrible wounds caused by the ice stings, not even scars.
Upon observing his intact left hand, Noland raised his eyebrows.
This was his first time enjoying Denise Green’s healing spells. It was much faster than his consumption of Life Elixirs and waiting for the effects slowly.
Looking at Denise Green wiping the bloodstains and dirt from his left hand, Noland completely realized how abundant her healing resources were.
No wonder Resurrection Witches were so sought-after.
“How did you get so injured…” Denise Green used a cotton ball dipped in water to wipe away a blood trail, murmuring with a complaint.
“There will always be moments of carelessness.” Noland Lee smiled gently.
On the other side, in the spectator stands where the Elemental Judgement Wizard Students were seated.
Watching Denise Green’s tender care of Noland Lee’s wounds stunned Philia. Betty Davis beside her had a shell-shocked expression, eyes wide open with disbelief.
Since boarding the ship, they had been wandering about the shipboard town non-stop.
It wasn’t until this moment that they sat in the packed spectator stands and spotted Noland Lee and Denise Green.
It wasn’t until this moment that they detected the unusual relationship between the two.
Noland Lee and Denise Green had boarded the ship with Elemental Judgement, which was correct. But before boarding, they cloaked themselves in black robes and black hoods, hiding in separate magic cars, never showing any special relationship with each other.
However, once on the ship, they seemed as familiar and intimate as if they had known each other for a long time…
Philia and Betty Davis posed the question to their mentor sitting next to them in the judge’s seat.
Mabel touched her forehead with a somewhat helpless smile and said:
“Ray Lee is Denise’s Contractor.”
“How…how did I not know this…” Philia looked slightly dazed.
Betty Davis curled her lip, seemingly discontent, “I knew there was something wrong with Ray Lee.”
Philia asked:
“Teacher, when did you find out about Ray Lee and Denise’s contractor relationship?”
Mabel pondered for a moment before responding:
“Hmm… When you were previously impacted by the wand core of the Bone-mending Wand in your spiritual ocean, and it was Denise who healed your psychic trauma. Do you remember this incident? I suspected their unusual relationship when I heard about this incident.”
Philia slowly nodded:
“Yes, I remember… So, Denise’s appearance on the magic car’s return trip wasn’t a coincidence…”
“Yes, Philia.” Mabel noticed the faint melancholy on Philia’s face.
She reached out and touched Philia’s shoulder, comforting her students with body language, and continued:
“But I learned about their exact relationship from Ray Lee himself when dealing with the contaminated area of the Blood Sun Seal.”
“Blood Sun Seal’s Contaminated Area?” Philia blinked, looking at her mentor.
Upon hearing Mabel mentioned something related to the extraterrestrial space, the referees on the judge’s seat cast their attentive gazes.
Even the Competition Manager showed some interest.
He turned his short, thick neck, slightly tilted his body, and continued the conversation:
“Ma’am, do you mean Participant Number 116 had dealt with an extraterrestrial space pollution incident with you?”
“Yes.” Mabel nodded:
“I can’t disclose the specific details of the incident as it involves the secrets of the Golden Federation. All I can say is that when I was surrounded by enemies, he saved us.”
The referees’ eyes flickered, with various thoughts running through their minds.
The Competition Manager looked at the corner of the arena, imperceptibly shook his head, and his lips trembled, as if conveying a message.
Philia and Betty Davis showed completely different reactions when they suddenly learned of Noland Lee’s real strength.
Philia was so disheartened that she couldn’t speak, only drawing support from the hand her mentor had placed on her shoulder.
Betty, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Noland in the spectator stands, as if he owed her a fortune.
Noland noticed the commotion among the Elemental Judgment Wizard Students and saw Mabel on the judge’s seat.
From Philia’s reaction and Betty’s eye-rolling, Noland could roughly guess what the others were discussing.
Upon closer inspection of the “Hatred Value” on “Resurrection Magic Potential,” the numbers remained unchanged.
Noland couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Although he had hidden some information from Philia and Betty, which may make them unhappy, as long as it didn’t create a rift and hatred, it was an acceptable outcome for Noland.
“Ladies and gentlemen, and all participants!”
The grey-robed Balin staff walked onto the stage and loudly recounted the Competition Manager’s explanation of Noland’s strength, then announced the additional reward scheme.
The Balin staff member emphasized that the witch by Noland’s side was the rumored Companion Witch who could teleport her contractor away from danger at any time and provide personal healing services.
When the participants heard this, Noland’s “Hatred Value” on the panel suddenly jumped by ten thousand points…
Noland had the illusion that he had activated a “Group Taunt.”
He suddenly felt over a dozen burning gazes on him and Denise Green. Some people didn’t even bother to hide their greed towards the Companion Witch.
Noland frowned slightly at the actions of the organizers.
He knew this should be the Competition Manager’s arrangement to increase the popularity of the matches.
His gaze swept across the referee’s seat, landing on the fat-faced Competition Manager, and Noland cast a Deconstruction Technique.
[System Message:]
[You are about to use Deconstruction Technique on “Abnormal Competition Director.”]
[It is estimated to consume 290,000 energy points and increase the degree of deconstruction to 100%]
[Warning!]
[The system has detected that deconstructing this target will have a negative impact on you!]
[It is recommended to use Harmless Deconstruction on the target!]
A consumption of 290,000 energy points…
And Harmless Deconstruction is needed…
Noland’s heart felt slightly heavy, while outwardly maintaining his composure and calmness. He even nodded at the Competition Manager from afar.
