"surrender?"

Just as Sonia was about to turn her head to look over, Lois pulled her back: "Don't move, you're wearing a battle suit!"

The village girl had no choice but to straighten her back and look forward, and asked, "Do they want me to surrender?"

"It's not surrender, it's 'exit after trying everything'." Adele explained: "Qianxing Entertainment believes that if you are seriously injured and dying in a national live broadcast, it will seriously affect your audience popularity and reduce your commercial value; on the contrary, if you take the initiative to exit after recognizing the gap, it can leave a good and deep impression on everyone, which will be beneficial to you. "

"Indeed." Lois said as she tied the pendant on Sonia, "It seems that there has never been a precedent of a contestant surrendering in the Meteor Robbery finals before."

"That's because the contestants are mostly third and fourth graders. They may only be able to participate in the Meteor Finals once in their lives. How can they be willing to not fight to the last minute? In addition, the Bullet Star Guards, the Griffin Company, and the Barrier Corps are all paying close attention to the college league. Giving up the competition out of cowardice will seriously affect the future of the combat magician." Adele said, "But Sonia is different from them."

"Sonia is a freshman to begin with. It's a miracle that she can make it to the Meteor Tribulation finals. Even if she voluntarily gives up the competition, no one will look down on her. Besides, she still has sophomore, junior, and senior years to go. Di Mi will graduate next year, so it won't be too late to compete for the Meteor Tribulation by then."

The village girl had a thoughtful expression. At this moment, Lois tightened her corset. She shuddered all over and subconsciously straightened her chest.

Lois looked at the bulge in front of her that filled up her clothes, confusion on her face: "Is my uniform too small or have you grown again?"

The battle suit that Sonia had been wearing was badly damaged in the Meteor Shower semi-finals and it was too late to repair it, so she could only wear the spare suit.

"I've been using the sword-body technique to exercise my body lately," Sonia said. "Maybe I've gained some muscle?"

Lois touched it and said, "It's not hard, it's soft and bouncy."

Adele came over: "Really? Really? Let me too——"

"Stop it." Sonia said, "So you agree with Qianxing Entertainment's proposal?"

"We, the leaders of the Claws Club, discussed it and thought it was feasible." Adele said, "Qianxing Entertainment is one of the top three film and television cultural chambers of commerce. If you want to develop into a movie queen or a singer, Qianxing is a very good choice. The contract they offer is also very generous. They are even willing to tailor a series of movies and TV series for you to make you famous - just like your favorite Deda Rose!"

"But they also made it clear that if you were defeated and seriously injured in the meteor calamity, the price would not be the same as it is now. What Qianxing needs is not a loser who was scarred by the meteor calamity, but a beautiful female swordsman who is defeated but still honorable and graceful."

Ingulit objected: “People go easy on losers.”

Adele shook her head: "People are more forgiving of losers who are good-looking."

"Besides," Adele paused, "if it's a battle you're bound to lose, isn't surrender the rational choice? You're going to lose in the end anyway."

"They are different." Ingrid said, "For a swordsman, there is a huge difference between a battle in which you are prepared to surrender and a battle in which you fight forward without hesitation but end up losing. The former will only cause the blade to rust, while the latter can sharpen the blade."

"I don't understand what you're saying. I'm not a swordsman." Adele spread her hands and said, "Then you make your own choice, Sonia - do you want to sacrifice the glory of a swordsman and embark on the glorious path you've always longed for; or do you reject Qianxing's advice and fight to the death with Di Mi?"

"Um..." Sonia opened her fingers and let Lois put the middle finger cuff on her: "Can I have both?"

Adele blinked: "You mean, you want to be beaten badly by Dimi before surrendering?"

The head of the Claw Club smiled and said, "Reject Qianxing Entertainment for me. After all, the situation on the field is ever-changing. Don't forget that in addition to Di Mi and me, there are four powerful players who have been resurrected as losers. I may not be able to hold on until I can fight Di Mi alone. Qianxing's assumptions are too idealistic."

Adele could tell at a glance that this was not the real reason, but since Sonia said so, she had no choice but to obey.

But she couldn't help but ask, "Sonia, aren't you afraid of losing?"

"Of course I'm afraid. Who isn't afraid of losing? Not to mention that when the death-forbidden miracle is triggered, the contestants often lose very badly." The village girl said, "For me, losing badly is much more serious than losing."

"So you plan to surrender?"

"Fear of losing." Sonia said, "There is more than just surrender as a solution."

…

…

The shining star sinks, and the stars return to their places!

At this time, the Galaxie National Sports Center was already packed with people and was bustling with activity. Almost all the students of Aletheia University were celebrating, and some even held up banners to congratulate Senior Dimi on his victory in advance. Other universities were much quieter, in stark contrast to Aletheia University.

This is a very rare situation: in previous Meteor Showdowns, although Aletheia University had basically entered the finals as the winner, there were also elite students from other universities in the loser resurrection group. If everyone reached a consensus to focus on the Aletheia University players first, maybe they could make the Aletheia University players leave the stage with regrets - this situation would happen four or five times in ten sessions, so the probability was still very high.

Therefore, the finals of previous Meteor Showdowns were always very lively. Students from various universities would never bow down in front of Aletheia University. They were more noisy than each other, and even Mortal Kombat incidents were not uncommon. Before the Meteor Showdown even started, the Star Show would already begin in the audience.

So the fact that other colleges and universities were so quiet tonight can only mean one thing: no one thinks their players have any chance of winning in the finals.

When the halftime show was over, the civil engineer reconstructed the terrain of the stadium, and the host Arsenal's voice completely drowned out the noise of the arena.

"Thank you very much for the wonderful performance of the Zero Dance Team in the first week! The next competition is the highlight of this college league, the Meteor Robbery Finals!"

"Please invite the contestants to enter!" said another female host. "Entering now are the two top contestants who will compete in the finals as winners. They are Dimi Vosiloda, a fourth-year student from Alyssa University, and Sonya Servi, a first-year student from Jianhua University!"

Sonia stepped onto the starlit stage, and the applause from the surroundings was warm but not overwhelming. Of the eight huge projection screens, only one reflected Sonia's brilliance, while the other seven were competing for every handsome angle of Di Mi!

No wonder Felix has a bad relationship with his brother... This thought suddenly occurred to Sonia.

After the other four loser resurrection group players entered the competition venue, with the host’s command, the Meteor Finals officially began!

"In order to better explain the live broadcast of this game, we invited the sword professor of Jianhua University, Mr. Nidala, who is known as the 'Rhythm Sword Saint'!" Arsenu said: "Mr. Nidala, what do you think the final venue will have on the players?"

"The abandoned city has enough space for movement, cover, and combat. The damaged houses divide the arena into different areas. It is a fair terrain for all magicians." Unlike his usual sharp tongue and rude manners, Nidala, who was in charge of the explanation, was very worthy of the high salary paid to him by Jianhua University: "The more practical experience a magician has, the better he can find opportunities in this kind of terrain... The first eliminated person has appeared."

"It was Connolly from Track University. He didn't have time to escape from the sword wave of Vosloda, and his chest was ripped open by the sword, triggering the death ban." Arsenu's tone was full of regret: "He couldn't even block a single move."

"Escape is the real reason for his defeat." Nidala said bluntly: "Although Dimi's sword has reached the level of three wings, it is not impossible to resist. However, those who only care about running away and expose their backs are voluntarily handing over their right to life."

"Another eliminated player! The killer is contestant Servi!" Arsenu suddenly discovered something: "Sir Nidala, are the other players... running away?"

"That's right." Nidala couldn't help but add a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "A cowardly trick of being clever."

"They didn't dare to compete with Di Mi head-on, so they hoped that Di Mi would eliminate other contestants first and then fight with them in the end, so that they could easily improve their own Meteoric Tribulation ranking. They never thought about competing for Meteoric Tribulation from the beginning, they just came here to make up the numbers."

Arsenal: "But Servi seems different."

"Yes, she is looking forward to fighting Di Mi." Nidala said, "In terms of skills, she may not be as good as the two eliminated players, but she is indeed the only one who is qualified to stay in the arena... Haha, now all the troublemakers have been cleared out."

While they were commentating, Sonia and Dimi had already defeated the remaining two loser group players.

Sonia jumped onto the roof of the abandoned house and looked at Di Mi from a distance. Di Mi flicked the blade of his long sword and said loudly, "It's rare to meet a wave swordsman in the competition. I will try my best to suppress my power to the second wing level, don't worry."

Sonia gripped the hilt tightly, activated the "Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword" miracle to strengthen the blade, and said, "It's better to suppress it at the level of one wing, which is more challenging."

"That won't do." Di Mi said, "You are an opponent worthy of respect."

As soon as the words fell, the two men rushed towards each other, and the sword energy they slashed out was like a meteor collision!

"Blood Moon Broken Lake!" Arsenu said excitedly, "Contestant Servi used her original miracle Blood Moon Broken Lake right from the start. Ordinary defense miracles can't compete with it at all... Hey? Contestant Vosiloda easily blocked it with just one move of Earth Light Wave?"

"The gap in faction realms." Nidala said, "Although the Blood Moon Shattered Lake is violent and powerful, it also has many weak points. Di Mi's earth light fluctuations can be aimed at these weak points and naturally resolve the offensive easily."

"Sonia is such a bad luck. Dimi and she are from the same faction and even on the same side. The miracles she used are tricks that Dimi is tired of playing with. All her tactical intentions are transparent to Dimi, not to mention that Dimi can also use the Holy Domain... Dimi is simply a more powerful version of her."

Just as Nidala analyzed, although Sonia had been actively attacking, she was easily defeated by Dimi. The miracles used by the latter did not even exceed the two-wing level, and the magic power consumption was far lower than Sonia. Those who didn't know would think that Sonia was the one with the advantage in magic power.

The difference between the strong and the weak was so obvious that what followed was nothing more than a boring round of bullying. Many students in the audience chose to leave early, too lazy to watch the True University show off.

However, the exit passage on the Jianhua University side was blocked by Professor Trozan, and the Jianhua students had no choice but to go back and continue watching.

As time went by, everyone gradually felt that something was wrong.

"Contestant Vosloda, is he..." Arsenal's voice was a little uncertain: "Too busy?"

"Interesting." Nidala laughed, "Sonia is imitating Dimi's skills! Dimi has failed this time. He is now teaching Sonia the family art of combat inherited from Vosloda. As a magician of the same faction and direction, Sonia has learned a lot from this battle!"

"Even if Di Mi gets angry and doesn't want to play anymore, Sonia will definitely not lose out!"

On the field, Di Mi suddenly asked, "Are you on good terms with Professor Nidala?"

"I don't have a good relationship with him." Sonia took the opportunity to slash out the evil light wave: "I have a good relationship with his students."

"He seems to hope that you can learn more from me." Di Mi said: "If you can really understand the essence of Vosloda's wave from the battle, what can I not teach you? Be careful!"

Di Mi's momentum changed. Although he still used the usual two-wing miracle, he switched to an offensive posture. The continuous wave of offensives forced Sonia to retreat step by step!

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Sonia didn't dare to face Feng Rui directly. She used the terrain of the abandoned city to dodge for a long time before trying to counter his moves. She then retreated and blocked at the same time. Finally, she even found a chance to counterattack from Di Mi's wave sword net!

Blood Moon Shattered Lake!

Facing the blood-red sword waterfall that could slaughter the heavens and the earth, Di Mi stepped forward and slashed out with evil light waves to break up the offensive, and took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit, trying to rely on a brute force attack to break through Sonia's defense!

At this moment, dozens of silk threads appeared in front of Dimi.

"Blood and water! Servi's original miracle!" Arsenal screamed, "Will it work...ah!"

clang!

As the silk threads gathered, they turned into dozens of sword waves that strangled Di Mi. Di Mi did not dodge or evade, but let the waves attack him, causing ripples all over his body.

Sanctuary!

A sanctuary of complete protection at the thought of one thought!

"What a pity!" Arsenal almost gnashed his teeth: "Just a little bit more, Servi could have made new history!"

"It's indeed just a little bit off." Nidala said lightly.

Arsenu nodded: "If the player Vosloda doesn't have time to raise the sanctuary--"

"No, when I said just a little bit off, I didn't mean that Di Mi didn't make a mistake, but that little girl Sonia made a mistake."

Nidala stared at the two people on the field and said, "She was just a little bit away from defeating Dimi."

Di Mi reached out and touched his neck, and found a scratch on it that almost cut through his throat.

He was very sure that there was no lag in his sanctuary, and this scar appeared after the sanctuary was opened.

He looked up and saw that next to Sonia's right hand holding the wooden sword, there was another phantom right hand that seemed to be there and not there. In the phantom right hand, there was an invisible sharp blade.

"The Sanctuary that Dimi opened is totally useless." Nidala stood up and said, "Sonia used the 'Hidden Hand Secret Blade', which is one of the few killing miracles that can completely ignore the Sanctuary!"

Arsenu was stunned: "Hidden Hand Secret Blade? But this seems to be..."

"Yes, this is the famous skill of 'Hidden Hand Sword Saint' Trozan. She once used this move to defeat three Sanctuary magicians in a row and became famous in one battle."

As Nidala continued to talk, all the students recalled the information about this miracle. After all, it was knowledge that would be taught in the required courses, and they could not have not learned it.

But according to the information in their minds, this miracle is clearly...

"Wait, I'm a little confused." Arsenu asked, "Hidden Hand Secret Blade... Isn't this a space sword technique that only Sanctuary magicians can learn?"

"That's right."

Nidala's voice echoed above the Galaxie Arena and spread to every corner of the stars.

"Sonia Servi is also a sanctuary magician."
