Chapter 400: The Lonely Girl in the Moonlight

The self-discipline unit in the sky flew silently, and the camera was aimed at the brightly lit scene below, recording the scene tonight.

Because of the influence of last year's Winter Festival Competition, this year's competition has attracted special attention. It can be said that tonight, countless TV screens in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region are playing the scenes of the competition.

People talked about the boys and girls who took the stage, talked about the stories behind the names of those academies, and occasionally recalled their youth in front of the younger generation, feeling the passage of time.

"Edes Academy, Erlinda won!"

A girl with silver hair stood on the field, gently holding the witch hat on her head with one hand, and opened the other hand to thank the audience, then stood up. On her side were hills covered with swords, spears, and halberds. Countless weapons were inserted diagonally into the ground, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

This student is a genius jointly trained by Edes Academy and Three-phase Moon Academy. The inheritance system she learned was also inherited from the witch who was good at weapons in the past.

Before the Winter Festival tonight, although many people had a hunch that Tilan would continue to win the championship and keep her position, they did not have much confidence in the other students of Edes, because from past experience, even if there are one or two exceptionally brilliant geniuses, the overall strength of the academy is not so easy to change.

But this year's surprises for everyone are always one after another. The names of the academies that were famous in the past but declined in the Four Leaf Crystal appeared on the screen again. The strength displayed by these students wearing two academy badges and the inheritance system that is completely different from the mainstream also made countless viewers exclaim.

Three-phase Moon, Luo Zhen's Eye, Iris Academy, Heat Surge Breaking the Sky, etc., these names represent a completely different training model and direction from the current mainstream. Although the overall strength may not be as good as the six major academies, the top students among them also let many viewers see some possibilities.

"Now on stage is Alice Nalanfili, a student jointly trained by Edes Academy and Luo Zhen's Eye Academy."

A girl with short golden hair walked onto the battlefield in a classic blue and white plaid dress. She had silver rings on each of her fingers, and these rings seemed to be some special extraordinary props. As she waved them gently, puppets swooped down from the air and hovered behind her.

After the host finished the introduction, the girl raised her head slightly, revealing her azure eyes between her hair, like a gem that never melts in ice. As she opened her hands, puppets holding spears, swords and shields rushed forward, and the tips of their weapons exuded overflowing light blue magic, drawing gorgeous and confusing trajectories in the air.

"Puppet Art: Seven Color Weaving."

Sharp traces of light streaked across the night sky, weaving seven-colored silk threads, and then these silk threads formed a complex ritual array with each other, and the opponents flying in the air were like birds in a cage, being defeated and suppressed by the shining puppets one by one, and fell without any resistance.

The venue was filled with screams and cheers, and then the next battle gradually began.

The girl riding the silver-scale flying fish smashed the blockade array set up by the students of Crystal Lattice Academy, and then drowned her opponent with the broken ice crystals all over the sky. The wielding icicle spikes were like spears, splitting the night, piercing her opponent, and pushing her out of the sky.

"Edes Academy, Emily wins!"

The girl rode the huge flying fish and leaped into the air, the flying feather badge and blue rose badge on her chest shining.

"Hah!"

With an exploding roar, countless fist shadows flew out and penetrated the atmosphere. Although many of them were offset by the slashing blade, the light golden magic power emanating from them, as if condensed with anger and unyielding fighting spirit, exploded layer by layer, causing the students of Thunder Edge Academy who were attacked to frown and look painful.

"Piercing the Sky Fist: Hundred Dragons' Heroic Fierceness!"

The figure descended like a golden comet, and the wind from the swinging fists compressed and distorted the air. The trajectory of the punches was like a long dragon rushing, pouring down like a waterfall. Even a mountain-like barrier could not stop it. The force was like compressing space, passing layer by layer, shattering the opponent's blade, causing the students of the opposite Thunderbolt Academy to spit blood.

After using up the full-strength skill, the student stood up panting, his exposed upper body boiling with heat, and his sides were all small pits formed by his impact and heat waves. Although he was close to exhaustion, he was not uncomfortable at the moment, but instead had a hearty smile on his lips because his opponent had fallen.

"Edes Academy, Xianta wins!"

When the host announced, the student raised his arm with two glittering academy badges wrapped around it, one with a blue rose on a black background, and the other with a flaming fist that penetrated the atmosphere.

On the first night of this Winter Festival Competition, Ades Academy took half of the top twelve places in the warm-up match, and also took 10 places in the middle 24 places. This result far exceeded that of other academies, which made the whole venue boil and put other academies under great pressure.

After the first night, the second night, the Winter Festival Competition began. Most of the geniuses who showed their talents in the warm-up match last year have now entered the competition tonight, attracting countless screams and expectations.

"Saint Ingo Academy, Vivina."

"Ades Academy, Valk."

These two finalists in last year's warm-up match were targeted by various media before they even appeared on the stage this year. They were also regarded as the most noteworthy geniuses in this Winter Festival Competition. As for Tilan, her existence was no longer discussed among ordinary students. Although there is still a long time before the final, no one can imagine who can surpass this girl.

Whether it is the champion of this year's Winter Festival Competition or the champion of all previous Winter Festival Competitions, this girl sitting in the Edes spectator seat is almost an insurmountable peak. Even her elder sister Themisia may not be as admired and desperate as she is now.

"It is not shameful to admit defeat when you meet her." Even in Saint Ingo Academy, the instructors reminded the students of the third competition in this way.

In addition to this insurmountable frozen peak, the newly emerging geniuses in Edes Academy also blocked many challengers like layers of mountains.

"The Flame Dancer of the Bright Night - Avni."

"The Cold Iron Fist - Valk." "The Elf

Envoy of the Ancient Wind - Allen." "

The Blue Shirt Slanting Wind Sword Like Rain - Xiao Yicheng." "The

Cold Silver Stage Manipulator - Ge Yin." "

The Silver Mirror Sword-Holding Witch - Wei Ke."

"The Witch Who Controls the Flame Dragon - Elena."

"The Servant of the Winged White Tiger - Okas."

These geniuses who entered Sequence 5 gradually showed amazing strength in this Winter Festival Competition, challenging the status of the older generation.

As expected, Edes Academy did not show a certain gap in strength except for Tilan. Instead, it began to show an unstoppable trend by uniting with the academies in the north.

This is just this year. In the next year, when these geniuses who appeared in the warm-up matches advance to Sequence 5, it can almost be said that Edes has begun to have a dominance over the Winter Festival Competition far exceeding the six major academies.

On the screen, the lights gathered in the battle, and young faces tried their best to use what they had learned and the secret techniques inherited from their respective factions. They collided with each other, like meteors passing and shining, making people unconsciously immersed in this tense and exciting atmosphere. Their hearts and minds fluctuated with the ups and downs of those figures, cheering and shouting for them, and feeling sad for them.

A huge amount of discussion posts and videos flooded the entire network and forums. This scene has not been seen in the past hundred years. Thanks to this winter festival competition, the gradually declining and forgotten supernatural factions in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region have been recalled again, and various past materials have been dug out.

"If you don't look for it, you won't know that the Three-phase Moon Academy was once so powerful, and the 'Witch Sect' even has branches in various star regions."

"The faction studied in the 'Heat Surge Breaking Sky Academy' was actually created because of a person who shocked the Federation."

"I really like the dolls carried by the students of Luo Zhen's Eye Academy. Each one is exquisite and beautiful. I want to buy one."

"The predecessor of Yuanting Academy was Fengyuan Courtyard. I just learned today that Siyejing used to have a special training courtyard. Now most of the extraordinary creatures are raised in courtyards in other star fields, and the cost is very expensive."

"Thousands of sails are like buildings. I didn't expect that the swordsmanship that Tilan learned has such an origin."

It's like the dusty memories are gradually awakened, and more and more people are joining the discussion. These discussions are like scattered puzzle pieces that are turned out from all corners of the room by curious people.

They seem to have always existed there, but they have always been inadvertently ignored. Today, when everyone looks at these puzzle pieces with different eyes, these pieces converge and emerge, and slowly piece together a completely different picture. That is the forgotten distant past, that is the glorious and vibrant appearance of Siyejing in his early years.

A person's hobbies and wishes are like fireflies in the dark night, ethereal and pitiful, and difficult to shake the dark earth. But if these fireflies gather and fly all over the sky, these fireflies will be seen by countless people, and they will be amazed and yearn for their beauty.

When countless people have this idea and wish, the ethereal fireflies at night will sweep across the night like a long dragon. It is a torch, it is the light that lights up everything, its spread is unstoppable, it is the burning and boiling tide of the times, it is the rising new sun.

The era has arrived, like a wheel that grinds bones, running forward.

"Tonight, we will usher in the final of this winter festival competition."

In a trance, a year of time passed in an instant, and now it has changed its appearance. Tilan, dressed in a moon-white dress, slowly rises, and behind her is a huge silver moon covering the night sky.

Her eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be thousands of stars flowing in her dark blue pupils, overlooking the world below. Her slender wrist held the scepter horizontally, and the silver moonlight descended like a baptism. No more skills were needed, and the purest moonlight magic washed over everything.

Below, the two wings behind Seraphiel were burning, and the white flames twisted the space. The boiling waves of fire, even if you look at them, give people a feeling of burning and suffocation, but at this moment, it was like a veil covering the heat wave. The white sun fell into the sea of ​​moonlight mist. Although she tried her best to fly, she could never break free from the brilliant silver moon above the sky.

In just one year, Seraphiel, who could fight with Tilan before, could no longer get close to the silver moon in the sky. The girl in the huge silver moon also seemed particularly lonely and lonely.

Finally, the individual competition of the Winter Festival ended in a way that everyone expected, but also surprised. What was expected was that the girl won the championship, but what was unexpected was that the girl had far surpassed her peers, even her past self, and the equally amazing Themisia in the record.

"Heshia Tilan!"

"Heshia Tilan!"

"Heshia Tilan!"

The cheers continued, and the scene of the girl standing quietly in the moonlight was also recorded by the camera, becoming the headline of major media in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region and the topic of countless star region reports in the Federation.

————————

"Little Tilan is growing up very fast."

Sitting in the viewing seat on one side of the venue, Pulin held a fiery red guitar and played it gently. It was not a performance, but just using the guitar to express her emotions.

Three years ago, in that deep underground city, the girl who was a little shy and nervous, wearing a maid skirt to help and work hard, has now grown into a person that she looks up to and envies.

Although she was not far behind Tilan in the singing career, she was far inferior to the black-haired and blue-eyed girl in other aspects. The blue butterfly in the dark night had suddenly become the bright moon in the night sky.

"It is also due to Pulin." A familiar voice sounded behind Pulin, and then a pair of hands gently pressed on Pulin's shoulders.

"Sister Yulan Duojia?"

Pulin turned around in surprise and looked at the mature elder sister with green hair behind her. As the "Green Snake" of the singing career, Yulan Duojia had retired for many years and had not appeared in front of the camera and screen for a long time, but this time she actually came to the Winter Festival Competition. Pulin knew that her every move in the spectator seat had been observed by cameras, and since Sister Yulan Duojia appeared at this moment, did it mean...

Just as Pulin was thinking about the meaning, Yulan Duojia leaned down and spoke in Pulin's ear.

"Can I ask Pulin for a favor?"

"Whatever it is, I'll do it as long as it's not too outrageous." To Pulin, Yulan Duojia is like her guide. A lot of her knowledge and experience about singing girls were taught by Yulan Duojia.

"At the end of this winter festival competition, I would like to invite you to the stage and sing a song with me, Tilan and the three of us." Yulan Duojia slowly sat down beside Pulin, not caring that the floating self-discipline unit in the distance had turned its camera towards her.

"What does sister Yulan Duojia mean?" Pulin had some thoughts and guesses in her mind.

The singing girls' joint performance on stage in such a formal occasion could not be just a show, it had extremely far-reaching political significance and influence.

Pulin is now the core of the Swarm of Bees Academy. Her every move can roughly represent the will of the Swarm of Bees camp. As the second-ranked academy in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, the group behind the Swarm of Bees Academy is not weak. It is the largest force besides Saint Ingo. Most of these chaebol groups also come from the prosperous central star region, but they have nothing to do with the elves. They are the group forces of humans and pan-human subspecies in the central star region of the Federation.

Although these group forces are not as tightly grouped as Saint Ingo and are slightly loose, it does not mean that they have no influence. It can even be said that they are the largest faction group in the Federation, but it is precisely because they are too broad that they rarely unite closely.

"If Sister Yulandojia also appears..." Pulin recalled the past of this 'Emerald Snake' singer in her heart.

Although Yulan Duojia felt that she had disappointed those big shots, in the past, countless forces had gathered around the only singer in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. For the older generation, although 'Green Snake' Yulan Duojia was very rebellious, she was also the memory of many people's youth, the fantasy of their youth, and the lost youth of countless people.

"I can try to convince everyone in the Swarm of Bees, and then go on stage to participate in the performance." As if she had made up her mind, Pulin agreed to Yulan Duojia's proposal.

"Don't force yourself, little Pulin." He gently wrapped his hands around Pulin's neck and leaned his body against the young singer.

"Madam Isabella has already discussed it with the Swarm of Bees Academy. I'm just afraid that you won't agree." Yulandojia pinched Pulin's cheek lightly, then kissed her lightly, causing the girl to blush all of a sudden.

"Hmmmm... humph, I'm not going to pay attention to Sister Yulandojia anymore." Pulin broke away from Yulandojia's arm and stamped her feet in embarrassment. Although she was usually very cheerful and lively, she couldn't hold back in front of this mature senior singer.

Seeing Pulin like this, Yulandojia couldn't help laughing, then turned her gaze to look at the girl slowly descending from the sky.

"You too, Tilan, you've grown to the point where I have to look up to you..."

This unintentional gaze and action, coupled with Pulin stamping her feet shyly, was captured by the camera and finally frozen.
