A Metatron.
This is the master-level enemy those people encountered, right
Xiao Chen did not act rashly, but prepared for defense. He knew that even Mei could not kill him easily, let alone the illusion in front of him. He glanced at his health: 82 points. As long as he was careful, he might be able to take him down.
This Metatron's fighting style is quite similar to Mei's. He first uses negative magic to restrict the opponent's mobility, and then uses his two swords to deliver a fatal blow.
Xiao Chen cast an acceleration spell on himself and began to move around the field very quickly. He easily avoided most of Metatron's single-target powerful negative magic, while those large-scale negative magic had very limited effects due to Xiao Chen's strong mental resistance.
Xiao Chen dodged while observing the opponent's magic type, slowing down, weakening, breaking armor, dulling, blinding... He now understood that the orc warrior was probably cast with many curses and was easily killed by the war angel. No wonder he was so unconvinced.
However, for him, this trick was of little use. After attacking for a long time, Tametron still could not cause any real harm to Xiao Chen. Instead, he himself was stabbed twice by the ice spear that Xiao Chen shot out.
Metatron saw that the curse was ineffective, so he switched to offensive magic. However, this made Xiao Chen's advantage more obvious, as Xiao Chen was never afraid of elemental magic.
His ability to split his mind was much stronger than that of an ordinary mage. In addition, his total mental power was extremely vast. By dividing his mental power into five parts, he was able to produce an effect that was difficult for an ordinary mage to achieve.
If an ordinary high-level wizard divides his mental power into several parts and then casts magic separately, the combat effectiveness of each "clone" will be greatly reduced due to insufficient mental power.
But Xiao Chen did not have this problem at all. After he split his mind, each of his mental powers was extremely abundant. Even if it could not reach the strength of his original body, it would not be too far behind. It was like five high-level mages fighting against one enemy together, three of them were responsible for defense and two for attack.
Metatron's attack magic is mainly positive energy light arrows. Although the master-level light arrows can directly penetrate Xiao Chen's ice shield, it will be very weak if there are three or four ice shields stacked together. While Xiao Chen is creating an ice shield, he can also counterattack with ice spears and fireballs.
If the enemy was real, he would certainly use more flexible tactics, but the illusion warrior chose to release light arrows at a faster speed to attack Xiao Chen. As a result, Metatron had to be hit by four or five ice spears and fireballs before hitting Xiao Chen once.

On the top floor of the Fantasy Hall, except for the two injured saints, the other three elven saints gathered together in the observation hall to watch the performance of the candidates.
Although the battle status of the candidates in the five paths was displayed on the stone wall of the hall at the same time, at this time, the three of them were standing in front of the screen where Xiao Chen was.
"The spiritual power of this human mage far exceeds the level of ordinary high-level mages. Since entering the trial, he has defeated thirty-four enemies, but now he is fighting against a master-level enemy, and his spiritual power shows no signs of weakening. This talent is really amazing." The High Priest of Yangyan, Saint Christ, exclaimed.
"The method of fighting with the split spirit he used is a skill that can only be effectively used by great magicians and above. But now he uses it without any pressure." The High Priest of Feiyu, Saint Taislun, came very close to the image, as if he wanted to discover more details. "One, two, three, four, five, it's actually five split spirits fighting."
"Humans are indeed a race with terrifying potential. Every few years, such outstanding figures will appear." Saint Christ sighed softly.
"And he is not as weak as ordinary mages. Look at his physical fitness and strength. Even when he is casting spells, he keeps trying to dodge the opponent's light arrows. This physical condition has exceeded that of ordinary low-level warriors." Saint Taislen said.
"There's nothing to worry about. We also have those three children from the golden years. They also have great potential." said Saint Dahni.
Saint Crest shook his head and said, "It's different. Whether it's Elena, Maya or Di Ning, I can see through them. I know their potential is not lower than mine, but it's just at my level. But this person, I don't understand. I don't know how he will grow, and I don't know where his limit is."
"Fortunately, his companion is just an ordinary warrior. Although he is very determined, he is not special." Saint Taislen said.
Saint Christ sneered and said, "If there is even one person like this, it means that the God of Nature has favored mankind. How many more do you think there will be?"
"Christ, have you ever thought about putting this guy..." Taslen made a throat-cutting gesture.
Krest frowned and said, "How can you have such an idea? We are noble elves, not barbaric orcs. Put away your dirty ideas."
Saint Dahni said: "Taislen, if we elves are not strong enough, what is the point of killing more humans? Can we regain our former glory?"
Taislun remained silent.
At this moment, Metatron in the picture was already charred all over and fell down with a bang, while Xiao Chen's health value was fixed at 5.

Xiao Chen looked at Metatron lying on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that in a real battle, he would have no chance of defeating an enemy like this. Especially the digitized health value, which allowed him to maintain full combat effectiveness from beginning to end. But even so, this record was enough to make him proud. Although the opponent was not flexible enough, the strength of his attack was real.
He also discovered a problem in such a full-force battle. His spellcasting was still a little unstable. The sequelae left by his concentration made it possible for him to control the scale of his magic. After long-term training, he had basically solved this problem when casting alone, but once he was distracted, the old problem would still linger.
It would be fine if the attack magic was too powerful, but if it was not powerful enough, it might not achieve the expected combat effect. This was even more true for defensive magic. One of his injuries was that his ice shield was only half as thick as normal, and in the end it failed to block the opponent's last-ditch attack.
The only way to solve this problem is through more fighting and training, but no matter what, his sequelae are much better than Luo Ling's.
The illusion around him gradually dissipated, and Xiao Chen found himself back in the corridor. Following the guidance of the light in front of him, he walked out of the inner hall.
Roger had finished the test and was waiting outside.
"How is it?" Xiao Chen asked first.
"I failed to defeat the master." Roger smiled, "But I tried my best."
"That's good!"
Elaina asked, "What took you so long? The others have already finished testing both batches."
"Because I defeated the master!" Xiao Chen shrugged.
