While dealing with Whitley's attack, Conan said, "Whitley, your basic skills are very solid, but your fighting style is too rigid. It is obviously a typical Imperial Army spearmanship."
As he spoke, Ke Nan seized the opportunity and displayed a set of exquisite sword skills.
His figure was as fast as lightning, and the sword shadows were heavy. The sword burning with flames seemed to turn into a fire dragon, breaking through Whitley's gun formation at lightning speed.
Whitley was unable to dodge and was hit by Conan, stumbling and falling to the ground.
Conan pointed his sword at Whitley. Whitley looked at the sword at his neck, sighed helplessly, and said frankly, "I lost."
Conan put away his sword gracefully, then reached out his hand, pulled Whitley up, and said sincerely: "You are already very powerful, but you lack advanced combat skills. I have also learned the Imperial Spear Technique, and my fighting teacher once told me its shortcomings. I know its weaknesses, so I can defeat you."
Whitley nodded and stood up, sheathing his spear, bowed deeply to Konan, and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
He then turned and returned to the imperial army.
On the Imperial Army side, the leading officer was quite surprised to see that his carefully trained disciple was unable to defeat Konan.
He walked up and asked his disciple, "Whitley, how do you feel?"
Whitley looked solemn and said seriously: "Kenan is very strong, much stronger than those idiots in Dawn Academy. If such a person can only rank in the middle in Arcane Academy, then..."
As he spoke, Whitley couldn't help but look in the direction of Merlin and the others, and with a hint of awe in his tone, he slowly said, "It's really terrifying."
Kenan put away his sword, looked around, and asked loudly, "Do you want to continue the sparring?"
The nobles of the Dawn Empire were shocked to realize that after two fierce battles, Konan was calm and his breathing was steady, and even his magic power did not seem to have been consumed much.
Is this the strength of the students of the Arcane Academy?
The nobles of the Dawn Empire couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and had a new understanding of the strength of the Arcane Academy.
The teachers at Chenxi College turned pale with embarrassment.
He secretly glanced in the direction of the king, and saw the king staring at him sinisterly, with a look that seemed to penetrate him.
He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "There are indeed no fourth-level students among the first-year students. How about letting our second-year students start sparring?"
"A second-year student?" Arthur's expression suddenly became strange when he heard this.
He subconsciously glanced at the second-year students of the Arcane Academy, Merlin, Stacy, Scarlett...
"Hiss—" Arthur couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself, since he can't even pass the normal difficulty, he plans to challenge the hell difficulty directly? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Arthur hurried to his father's side and anxiously advised: "Father, why don't we just stop this competition and forget it."
Orinth was originally trying to save face, but when he heard Arthur say that, he couldn't help but frown slightly and asked with an unhappy look on his face, "What's going on?"
Arthur leaned close to his father's ear and whispered, "Father, the second-year students at the Arcane Academy are the strongest. Moreover, they have all reached the level of fifth-order advanced mages and can freely deploy domains. I just took a close look at the Imperial Army and Dawn Academy teams. No second-year students have reached the fifth order. Only a few third-year students have reached the fifth order of magic fluctuations. If we rashly let the second-year students go up to compete, I'm afraid..."
King Orinth's eyes widened in shock, and he looked in the direction of Merlin and the others in disbelief, and asked, "You mean, they have all reached the fifth level?"
"Yes, father." Arthur nodded helplessly and persuaded again, "I suggest that we end this communication here."
King Orinth had a gloomy look on his face, and he was torn between his conscience and his conscience. But as an emperor who was experienced in battle and well versed in political intrigue, he quickly made a wise choice.
He took a step forward, his face instantly filled with smiles, and he laughed, "Haha, I have fully witnessed the demeanor of the students of the Arcane Academy! This time, we are mainly here to warmly welcome you all to the Dawn Empire. Exchanging ideas is just a way to enhance communication, not the primary purpose. In this case, let's stop here. The Arcane Academy is worthy of being the most advanced institution on the continent, and the students it trains are amazing!"
Merlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the king's words.
It finally ended here. Otherwise, if the competition continued, the students from Dawn Academy might not be able to defeat even a fairy summoned by Staci.
As for Scarlett, this girl has always been reckless in her actions. Does that mean she has to clean up the mess herself?
He holds many important positions, including secretary of the Arcane City Committee, president of the Arcane Academy Student Union, senior councilor of the Aize Federation, and president of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce.
If I were to personally participate in the competition, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Merlin smiled and responded to King Orinth, "Your Majesty is right. After this competition, both sides have gained a lot. We are also fortunate to have seen the demeanor of the students of Dawn Academy and the younger generation of the Imperial Army. It is really impressive."
King Orinth laughed heartily and warmly invited Merlin and the others: "It's almost time. Dear guests who have come from afar, let's go to the banquet hall and enjoy the royal food. This will be regarded as our hospitality as a good host."
Merlin smiled and nodded, then happily led everyone there. Pete looked at his son with a huge sense of pride.
At this moment, he did not seem to be unhappy at all about his son stealing the limelight. Instead, he straightened his back and put his hands on his hips proudly.
Looking at those nobles who once looked down on him, but now came to him with envy and bowing to make friends with him, Pate felt deeply moved.
He thought, the Leo family at its peak was probably just like this?
Led by King Orinth, everyone came to the banquet hall where the luncheon was held.
The banquet hall of the royal family of the Dawn Empire is extremely spacious, with a high dome and covered with exquisite murals that tell the glorious history and myths and legends of the Dawn Empire.
The characters in the murals are lifelike, as if they will jump out of the wall at any time.
The pillars in the hall are all made of precious marble, with delicate and intricate patterns carved on the columns, which complement the murals on the dome and demonstrate the profound heritage of the empire.
The royal attendants were neatly lined up on both sides of the banquet hall. They were dressed in uniform and gorgeous uniforms embroidered with the royal emblem of the Dawn Empire, with gold and silver threads interwoven, sparkling brightly under the lights.
