When Cui Lina heard Merlin's words, her heart tightened, thinking that she actually had to apologize to a lowly half-elf and a low-level elf?

This was hard for her to accept, and a trace of struggle and unwillingness appeared on her face.

Alicia snorted coldly, with a warning in her eyes: "Apologize now!"

Cui Lina's face turned pale. She walked heavily to Lilia and Stacy, gritted her teeth, and apologized loudly: "I'm... I'm sorry..."

When Lilia heard Cui Lina's apology, her face suddenly lit up with joy and she said she felt so refreshed, as if all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for a long time had dissipated overnight.

Stacy's eyes were red. Listening to Cui Lina's apology, it seemed as if a nightmare in her heart was shattered. The discrimination and grievances she had suffered for a long time were somewhat comforted at this moment.

She looked at Merlin with her watery eyes, placed her hand on her heart, and felt her heart beating violently. Her face turned red instantly, and her gratitude and respect for Merlin grew deeper and deeper.

Alicia looked at Merlin with a questioning look in her eyes, wanting to know if he was satisfied.

Merlin nodded slightly and said no more, the sternness on his face easing slightly.

But at this time, Alicia changed the subject, smiling, with a bit of provocation in her eyes: "I have heard that the Arcane Academy is the most famous and outstanding school in the Azer Continent. Today I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. However, in our elves, we also have a special academy, and we have trained many elite students. We elves believe that our magic academy is not inferior to the Arcane Academy, and even better in some aspects. Today is a grand event, and many young elite students in our academy hope to learn from the students of the Arcane Academy, verify each other's learning, and make progress together. We also want to see how strong the elites of the Arcane Academy are."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, but the deep meaning in her words could not be ignored. It was obvious that she wanted to regain ground from another contest.

Merlin laughed the instant he heard Alicia's words, and he already knew her intention: It turned out that this guy wanted to get back at the other game.

He turned around and saw Arthur and other students from the Arcane Academy striding up behind him, each with a determined look in their eyes, eager to try.

Merlin turned around and looked at the students of the Arcane Academy, his eyes asking, "What do you think?"

Arthur took a step forward, took out the silk scarf from his chest and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and said confidently: "Since the other party wants to spar, there is no problem here!"

Scarlett, Chris and the others nodded in agreement. The rest of the students at the Arcane Academy were also infected by this fighting spirit and responded one after another, rubbing their hands and getting ready to do a great job.

Merlin smiled and said to Alicia, "Since the elves have such a refined taste, our Arcane Academy will naturally have no problem with it."

Alicia also smiled, with a sly look in her eyes: "That's good, in that case, let's start now?"

Merlin made a gesture of invitation and said gracefully: "Please."

The guests present also looked over here curiously, their eyes full of anticipation, wanting to see who would be the winner of this showdown between the young elites of the two major forces.

In the continent of Aize, it is very normal to exchange magic and sword skills at a banquet. It is considered a popular activity in the upper class. Therefore, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it. Instead, they are all excited to watch this wonderful show.

The corners of Alicia's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. It was obvious that she wanted to show her power.

In an instant, a powerful and mysterious force quickly spread out with her as the center, and she actually directly exerted the power of her own domain.

Under the influence of this force, the surrounding space seemed to be gently combed by an invisible giant hand. The debris retreated to both sides, and in the blink of an eye, a wide and flat area was cleared out for the next competition.

Merlin saw all of this, and looking at Alicia's provocative gaze, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. This elf is really...

Then, he slowly raised his hands, palms facing up.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the magic power in his body began to surge slowly. Then, he slowly unfolded his own domain - "Domain? Equivalent Exchange".

As the realm opens, strange sights follow.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the ground began to change violently as if it had come to life. Countless stones of uniform size broke out from the ground. Like well-trained soldiers, they quickly arranged and combined in the air, colliding and connecting with each other, making dull sounds.

In just a moment, these stones were quickly built into a magnificent fighting arena. The edge of the arena was actually carved with magnificent fighting strokes, emitting a faint glow, as if telling the story of an ancient contract.

This scene made Alicia's pupils shrink, her eyes were full of astonishment and confusion. She had no idea how Merlin did it.

It was obvious that he just expanded his territory, and he didn't make any extra movements from beginning to end. How could he build such a spectacular arena out of thin air?

This was beyond her understanding of conventional magic.

Merlin noticed Alicia's shock and smiled at her, with a hint of helplessness and complacency in his smile.

He thought to himself: His own domain is really a big spender on gold. It only took him 10,000 gold coins to build such a "broken arena" in the blink of an eye. If it were someone else, without strong financial support, wouldn't it be like awakening a completely useless domain?

Fortunately, I am now wealthy and am not afraid of this expenditure.

Merlin looked at the built arena and gracefully made a gesture of invitation to Alicia, indicating that she should go to the stands with him.

Alicia didn't expect Merlin to have such a skill. She was really shocked, but she was an elf who had seen the world after all. She quickly came to her senses and still maintained her pride, following Merlin to the stands of the arena.

At this moment, the guests in the audience could no longer contain their excitement and gathered around, eagerly waiting for this wonderful duel to begin.

Ai Lixia walked to Merlin's side with a little pride in her eyes, and said softly: "High Priest Merlin, you see, this year our World Tree Academy has produced many elves with extraordinary talents and unlimited potential."

After saying that, she clapped her hands gently, and the crisp sound was like an order.

Then, a group of heroic and beautiful elves from the World Tree Academy walked out with their heads held high, marching in neat and powerful steps.

They were dressed in uniform college uniforms, with emerald green as the main color and embroidered with delicate golden silk patterns. They looked like flowing sunlight passing through dense forests, highlighting the close connection between the elves and nature while retaining their magnificence and solemnity.

Around their waists, they wore belts inlaid with gemstones of various colors, highlighting their slender yet agile figures.
