Qi Yan immediately felt a powerful surge of magic power rise from his magic source, flowing throughout his entire body, replenishing all his previously depleted magic power, and significantly increasing his magic power limit.
"Is this the magic power of a six-star Mage?"
Qi Yan felt that his current magic power had more than doubled compared to when he was five and a half stars.
The immense magic power also made Qi Yan feel a significant boost in his own strength; he felt that even without using Take Over Magic, he could now contend with an S-Class Mage.
And this was not an illusion; he genuinely possessed such strength.
"Master Jose has chosen to fight!!"
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we actually get to witness a battle of the Ten Wizard Saints with our own eyes!"
"Fairy Tail VS Phantom Lord, Round Six of the match!!"
"Begin—!"
Clang—!
"Makarov's brat, I've heard of you, 'Tyrant,' supposedly you've defeated tens of thousands of bandits, but you must understand, the Ten Wizard Saints are different from those ordinary people."
"Don't get arrogant just because you have a bit of fame; today I'll teach you what it means that there are always people better than you, and a sky beyond the sky."
Killing intent gleamed in Jose's eyes, but Qi Yan ignored Jose's trash talk.
"It's time to let this one make an appearance."
"Full Take Over · Edward Newgate!!"
Qi Yan's body began to rapidly grow taller and larger, his clothes transformed into a white coat, and in his hand appeared Whitebeard's exclusive weapon, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, murakumogiri.
Most conspicuously, a crescent-shaped white mustache curved upwards from beneath his nose, and his face was a fusion of Qi Yan and Whitebeard, looking incredibly domineering.
"So big—!!!"
The audience in the stands were all startled by Qi Yan's height of six meters and sixty-six centimeters.
"Qi Yan turned into an old man!!"
Among the Fairy Tail members, besides Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Lucy, it was also their first time seeing Qi Yan's transformation, so they were all very surprised.
Elfman asked in surprise, "What is this?! Is this Qi Yan's new transformation?!"
Happy replied, "Aye~! This transformation makes Qi Yan super strong!!"
Natsu and Gray also became excited; they had both witnessed this transformation of Qi Yan's. If Qi Yan truly defeated Jose, then Phantom Lord would be thoroughly trampled underfoot.
Jose looked at Qi Yan's transformation and sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! Kid, if you transformed into a giant like Makarov, that would be one thing, but this level is nothing. Mages aren't stronger just because they're bigger; an overly large body will only become a target for attacks. Fall down for me!"
Jose waved his palm.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
A red explosion erupted at Qi Yan's feet, engulfing Qi Yan's body.
"Qi Yan!!!"
Mira became extremely worried when she saw Qi Yan being attacked, and the rest of the guild members felt the same. This was an attack from a Ten Wizard Saint; such a terrifying explosion would surely leave him heavily injured, if not dead, after taking a direct hit.
"Hey, hey, hey! Who set off firecrackers? It's not even New Year's yet, and can't you see there are people here? Your manners are terrible!"
At that moment, Qi Yan's voice came from within the smoke of the explosion.
Bang!
The smoke was dispersed by an impact, and Qi Yan stood in place, unharmed.
"What?!"
Jose's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected this attack to finish Qi Yan off, but the fact that he was completely unharmed still somewhat surprised him.
"That's great! Qi Yan is alright?!"
"Of course he'll be fine, that's Qi Yan!"
All the Fairy Tail members breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qi Yan was unharmed.
Jose narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brat, you've got some skill! But with just this much, you can't act arrogant in front of me! I'll show you just how big the gap is between you and a Ten Wizard Saint."
"Ghost Arrow!"
Jose raised his palm and opened a purple magic circle, and a large number of arrows, like ghosts, shot towards Qi Yan.
Qi Yan clenched his fist.
"Buzz—!"
A white transparent spherical light shield enveloped Qi Yan's fist.
Qi Yan swung his fist towards Jose.
"——————!"
Crack crack—!
The atmosphere shattered like a mirror, revealing dense cracks.
A terrifying force of vibration emanated from Qi Yan's fist.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
All the Ghost Arrows released by Jose were destroyed by this vibration force, and the terrifying vibration force surged towards Jose.
Rumble—!
The entire arena, no, the entire city, was shaking violently.
"Ah—!"
All the spectators in the arena screamed in fright.
Crack crack—!
A massive crack spread from Qi Yan's feet towards Jose.
"Ugh ah ah ah ah!"
"Wah ah ah ah ah!"... Soon, the spectator stands where the Phantom Lord guild members were located collapsed due to the intense vibration, and the Phantom Lord members screamed as they fell.
A moment later, the shaking subsided, and everyone stared at Qi Yan, dumbfounded.
Seeing the terrifying destruction caused by Qi Yan's single punch, everyone was petrified with fear.
"Monster—!"
"Attention, audience! The destructive power caused by the two Mages is too great, please evacuate from the arena as quickly as possible! The rest of the match will be broadcast via live transmission! I repeat!"
"Attention, audience! Please evacuate from the arena as quickly as possible!..."
Upon hearing the announcer's words, the audience in the stands also began to flee. The previous battles were manageable, but the current battle was no longer something they could observe from the sidelines.
Qi Yan looked at Jose and said with a smile, "A Ten Wizard Saint, huh? I wonder if you'll be able to give me a satisfying fight!"
Jose looked at Qi Yan with a solemn expression: "You little brat, don't get carried away! The battle has just begun!!"
"Dark Spiral!!!"
Dark energy condensed and coiled around Jose's arm, and as Jose swung his palm, a spiraling dark energy rushed towards Qi Yan, destroying the ground in its path.
Qi Yan raised murakumogiri with both hands, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki entwined around murakumogiri's blade.
"Open for me—!"
Qi Yan roared, and a massive slash erupted from murakumogiri.
Swish—!
The Dark Spiral was directly split open.
Boom boom boom boom—!
The massive slash cut through the already shattered arena again, and as the terrifying slash swept past, all the Phantom Lord guild members in the vicinity were sent flying.
The enormous slash extended an unknown distance, its terrifying destructive power sending shivers down everyone's spines.
Cold sweat trickled down Jose's forehead. He had almost been hit by the slash just now. If he were to be struck by such a terrifying attack, even as a Ten Wizard Saint, he would be severely injured if not killed.
Jose's expression immediately turned ugly. He was a Ten Wizard Saint, yet he had been scared by a mere brat from Makarov's guild. This was an utter disgrace.
More concentrated magic energy coiled around Jose's arm.
"Vanish for me! You stinking brat!!"
