"You're here now!"
Lia was filled with shame and indignation. She stomped her foot, lifted the hem of her clothes, and revealed her side waist wrapped in bandages.
"The same injury as yours, only more severe, now you have nothing to say, right?"
"I'll make you admit defeat gracefully. Even if you leave the team, you'll never be able to defeat your former captain!"
The crowd in the square gasped when they saw Leah's injuries on the big screen.
This [Blazing Bloom] is ruthless. Those injuries were clearly self-inflicted. Is it worth it for an exhibition match?
"Wait, what happened?!"
A gasp rippled through the audience.
A buzzing tremor came from beneath their feet. Everyone looked around but couldn't find the source of the tremor.
It wasn't until the pebbles on the arena started to dance and bounce that everyone realized, to their astonishment, that the entire arena was shaking!
"What, what do you want to do!" Lia's smug expression vanished, and she swallowed hard.
She gripped the sword with both hands and nervously retreated.
All she could see was Linda's level 35 poison and healing magic intertwined, transforming into a terrifying star-level aura. Despite her furious appearance, Linda remained expressionless, carrying her sword as she slowly walked towards her.
That sense of oppression once gave Leah the illusion that Linda was even more terrifying than Abner!
This guy definitely held back when he fought Abner!
Apart from the time when Xueyan was first established and suffered a defeat in the third-level secret realm, when she was almost killed by the snake people, she had never seen Linda show such a frightening expression.
Leah squeezed her legs together, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
In the contestants' rest area, Ai Ke saw the scene on stage and couldn't help but chuckle to herself; Lin Da was clearly angry.
When Linda was with Xueyan, what she hated most was seeing her teammates get injured, and Liya's injury was something she brought on herself. Winning or losing was completely unimportant; it was just an exhibition match for the investors...
Lia's stupidity has crossed Linda's line.
Aiko sat next to Chrona, who took a few potato chips from Chrona's bag and happily popped them into her mouth, ready to enjoy the spectacle of Leah being brutally beaten in front of thousands of people.
Just then, a gaze filled with rage swept over.
Aiko was extremely familiar with that gaze; when he was a child, if he was stared at, he would inevitably get a good beating.
Rochelle's character was as low as his education level, and he disciplined his children with fists the size of a clay pot.
Eko's leg was indeed broken; it was broken because she failed to maintain her position as the top student in her grade at the Magic Academy in Nanyan City.
The fear of Rochelle was almost ingrained in Eko's bones. Her heart skipped a beat, and she rolled away lazily to hide behind the sofa.
Aiko wasn't sure if Rochelle had noticed her. Although Bervis had warned her not to come to the exhibition match, she was too curious about Linda and Abner's match.
'I didn't see it, I didn't see it...'
Ai Ke's face was ashen, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Chrona, with a mouthful of potato chips, looked at her strangely: "Eiko, what's wrong?"
"Don't call my name yet, just watch the game," Ai Ke said with a dry laugh.
"oh."
After a while, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and Aiko finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Given Rochelle's personality, he would have rushed over immediately upon hearing her words; there was no way he would have remained silent.
Let's hide it and watch the video replay later.
Ai Ke hugged her knees, curled up behind the sofa, looking quite aggrieved.
Not only is her family a mess, but Linda is also deliberately avoiding her. She can only go on adventures with the stupid Billia and the brat Chrona every day, and she's had enough of this kind of life.
She had to take action.
Even if I can't win Linda back, I have to join the Phoenix Tail Flower and leave Xueyan's trashy team.
...
"As expected of the captain of the Phoenix Flower, she has already tipped the scales of victory with her amazing momentum before the battle has even begun!"
Kami gripped the megaphone, shouting so loudly that spittle flew everywhere. His excited voice, carried by the magic circle inside the megaphone, echoed throughout the secret realm square:
"Lia, you have to do your best! If you don't beat him, you'll never be able to attend an adult party!"
Although they are not actually father and daughter.
But then he thought of the girl he'd cared for for years, the one he considered family, who now appeared on the bed with a shy expression...
Camille was drooling, and he wanted nothing more than to slap their faces repeatedly.
These two are practically her money-making machines; whenever Linda throws a party, the sales of White Dove Morning Post increase by 30%.
If one day she could take a picture of the two of them sleeping in the same bed, the sales would triple without any problem!
Leah's reputation in White Dove City is rather poor. Many people may not say it, but they secretly hope that Linda will teach Leah a lesson, making that stubborn little mouth pitifully beg for mercy...
Kami got so excited just imagining the scene that he practically bit the microphone:
"I hereby declare the competition officially open!!!"
boom!
Instantly, Linda's upper garments exploded amidst the raging flow of magic, and black wings, accompanied by rustling feathers, sprouted from his shoulder blades.
With a flap of its wings, Linda charged straight at Leah like a swordfish darting through the ocean.
Without holding back in the slightest, the longsword was aimed straight for Leah's head!
With Rochelle, a Moon-rank adventurer, around, Linda could go all out and let Leah experience the taste of near-death.
Only those who have witnessed death can truly feel awe for adventure!
Linda originally planned to just play around and appease the audience, but now he has changed his mind.
Leah is a spoiled brat who hasn't grown up at all and only knows how to act spoiled and willful. He's going to give Leah a stern lecture in front of more than 10,000 people.
Even if Leah dies on the spot, it's better than dying in the World Tree later in a muddled way.
"Senryu's Wrathful Fang!"
Linda stared at Lia's panicked face, sneered, and the Earth Dragon Longsword released an emerald green light, with vines gathering on the sword.
roar!
With a single sword strike, the wooden dragon bared its fangs and claws as it attacked Lia, its roar causing her to momentarily lose her focus.
Just as the wooden dragon, over ten meters long, was about to strike, at the critical moment, Lia bit her tongue, her eyes quickly regaining their clarity. Orange flames with starlight shone in her pupils, and red energy burst from her entire body. She had actually relied on the characteristics of her Starfire Battle Qi to forcibly withstand Linda's dragon might.
No one expected Leah to recover so quickly, especially considering the precedent set by Abner.
Even level 39 Abner couldn't withstand the dragon's might, but level 33 Leah could?
Upon seeing the girl's flame-like battle aura adorned with a few starlight sparks, Rocher and the other Moon-ranked individuals all changed their expressions, revealing serious demeanor.
Although Lia's level is not high, they can feel an amazing explosive power from Lia's flames, the quality of which far exceeds that of ordinary fire-type battle aura.
Luden frowned, staring at the flames engulfing Leah, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Even this well-traveled adventurer's weekly reporter couldn't recognize what it was.
