Chapter 263: Same Level Considered Pass
The venue, in Gollen Village, was the tournament.
The spectators, watching the battle about to begin, stood still and waited.
In the arena, Sora stood in the center of the arena.
A bright smile on his face, showing the excitement and excitement the battle was about to begin.
Seria ran towards the red carpet that had been laid out for Seria to run across.
Seria ran onto the red carpet, with Xenon hurriedly following.
BOOM! BOOM!
The two leaped onto the arena.
Sora, upon seeing Seria enter the arena, shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The masked girl with white hair is Sevan.
And the other girl, Sevan's partner, is Seethru.
The two children wish to challenge you over there!"
Sora extended his hand towards Ling Yue, who had stopped chasing him.
The villagers stood watching Ling Yue, who was standing still, wary of any attack.
Ling Yue could feel the air of being watched.
Among the crowd of ordinary villagers, were Tenshin Sect martial artists, all watching.
[What do you mean? Do I have to go up there...?
Seria, you're so annoying!]
Ling Yue prepared to run away.
The student council members jumped up and surrounded Ling Yue. Whoosh!
BOOM!
The student council members stood around Ling Yue, watching the villagers, eager to see what was happening.
A few voices chattered. "The show starts now?"
"What are you doing?"
"Interesting."
"Interesting."
People were chattering away, thinking it was a performance, and some even thought it was a play, with a sense of humor.
"Tch, a play before the duel?" "
"Hurry up and get on stage!"
A silence filled the arena.
Sora, seeing Ling Yue unmoving, encouraged him.
"Challenger, please come up onto the field...!"
Ling Yue saw the student council members draw their real swords.
Ling Yue immediately understood the situation. [This is it, not easy. It's worthy of being able to withstand the Double-Headed Dragon's attack.
And that Seria, he planned it this way... He knew what I was up to.
He sent Seraph to my base. He even knew I needed a skilled alchemist.
When did he get attacked?]
Ling Yue walked towards the red carpet. Many eyes were watching the competition.
Seria stood and waved at Ling Yue, who willingly walked onto the stage.
Ling Yue didn't take long to reach the arena.
Ling Yue's question came, "That's interesting. How did you know what I was doing?"
Seria poked her index finger at her brain, pretending to think for a moment. "Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm... So that's how it is. That's how it is."What's the matter? "
Ling Yue smiled slightly. "You don't know? That's interesting."
Seria opened her eyes slightly. "If you can defeat us, it'll all be a matter of time. In a few more days.
And if you lose, the strangeness and the Alchemist's story will be exposed today."
Ling Yue smiled slightly. "Interesting. A child as interesting as your brother."
Seria bowed in thanks. "Thank you for that. How's my brother doing?"
Ling Yue took something out of her pocket and threw it at Seria. Whoosh!
Seria took something in the shape of a piece of paper and held it. Boom!
Seria opened it slightly. It was a map of something.
"Is this right here? Why are you showing it to me?"
Ling Yue smiled slightly. "Showing sincerity, how about you show it to me?"
It's a reward that can impress me.
Seria carefully kept the map. "I haven't told anyone yet, so rest assured."
Sora and Zenon stood there, confused as to what these two were talking about.
The audience was confused by the performance.
Sora walked to the side of the field. The student council members were all standing around the arena.
Leaving the three standing on the stage.
Green light formed a square cage, allowing a clear view of the arena.
Green light filled the entire arena.
Sora spoke to describe the fight scene and explain the rules. "So, the rules of the duel are: If you prevent the other party from fighting, you win. No killing is allowed. That's it. Voting tickets for the winner can be purchased."
Sora extended his hand to Ling Yue. "This is the old woman near the corpse. She's a fourth-level cultivator."
Sora's hand turned to Seria and Zenon. "And these two are... Both second-level cultivators.
It's a two-level gap. Will they be able to do it?
There's no pretending to lose in this match. Whoever you think will win, please choose. The betting price is ten gold coins.
The match starts in one minute, and the numbers have already been revealed, because the ticket betting has closed. Yes!
People look at the display board. There's a tally of tickets bought, wondering who will win.
Sora looks at the huge gap. "The old lady who's near the funeral has two hundred and fifty-two.
And Seven and See-Thru have ten tickets in total. It's an incredible difference. The result will be...Who could have guessed!
Sora looked at the betting paper, wondering who would win.
Thinking back to the day before the stage performance was set up.
Seria sat talking with Sora, just the two of them, sitting in chairs.
Seria asked with a smile, "Chairman, how much money is in the council right now?"
Sora nodded. "It's over fifty gold coins, because that competition brought in a lot of money."
Seria thought. "That's quite a lot. Then it's time to hold a performance outside the school."
Sora tilted his head in confusion. "Are you going to raise money outside as well?"
Seria tilted her head back and forth, looking at the lamp on the ceiling. "Of course it is. This is a major upgrade plan. It shouldn't be overlooked. It's also a show of trust."
"Will showing off your fighting skills lower the public's guard?"
"That's right, if people are afraid, Just show me the power you can protect. That'll be enough.
"Alright, if you fail, I won't listen to you."
Seria returned to her seat. "Thank you for that. Tomorrow morning, maybe around noon. But if my predictions are correct,
it'll be around this time."
Seria handed Sora a single piece of paper.
Sora took it and looked at Seria. "If this is the case, then it can be done.
And who's the opponent? If it's a fight between children, the chances of being ignored are high."
"If that's the case, I've already prepared people. If you really want to drive, you can bring someone from the Tenshin School to fight me."
Sora hesitated. "Do you think you can win? With a two-level gap, your chances of losing are high."
"That's no problem. Two plus two equals four. So, how's that for four against four?
Senpai always makes mistakes in math, you know. Zenon and I are level two.
Totaling four.
My opponent is level four. I have the advantage, having four hands. Am I cheating this match?
Sora sighed helplessly. "Sigh... It's true. Four against four, even. Win! Your opponent won't give up and spread the word about Seren Tenshin School's reputation by pretending to lose, right?"
Seria stood up and walked to the student council room window. Whoosh! Boom!!
He sat looking outside, a slight smile on his face. He saw Ling Yue, who had returned from a long absence.
"Don't worry, student council president. This fight will be fun, because I'm serious."
A gust of wind blew Seria's hair in, creating an image of a young girl sitting by the window. The girl looked out, as if the whole world was dancing.
Back in the present, Sora stood looking outside the arena.
Seria leaned forward. "Xenon, watch out! Master Ling Yue is going to kill us! I'm not lying."
Xenon was horrified.
The sound of battle was announced.
"The duel, begin!" Sora signaled the start of the battle.
Ling Yue opened both hands. Red fireballs, as large as Ling Yue's body, were emitting intense heat energy. Fufu!
"Get lost, genius!"
[You're dead, brat!]
The fireballs shot forward. Pew pew pew!
Xenon rushed to a stop in front of Seria. Thud! Whoosh!
A sword the size of Xenon's body was drawn out and held in his hand. A dark blue, lightning-patterned sword covered the blade.
Blue lightning exploded. Boom! Dangerous lightning energy increased the blade's size. Whoosh!
Xenon swung his sword straight forward to block Seria's attack.
BOOM! Boom!
The fireball split in half. Boom!
Deep red flames engulfed the surrounding area. Boom!
The barrier around the arena shook.
In the explosion, Seria floated in mid-air.
The lightball in Seria's hand released a powerful burst of energy.
"A battle without rules is like this."
Seria fired a lightball, flying towards him. Pew pew pew!
Two lightballs flew at lightning speed!
Ling Yue saw the lightballs approaching and drew his sword to slash, slashing them. Boom! Boom!
"This is how it should be, little one. Let me see how good it is!"
The lightballs were destroyed.
The four-on-four battle began.
