S-Class Trial Concluded

"Armor Change: Heavenly Wheel Armor!"

"Body Takeover: Satan Soul!"

Ye Yang watched the two girls' strength and couldn't help curling his lips into a slight smile.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you two to have grown this much over the past two years."

Mirajane snapped, "Damn Ye Yang, stop talking like some elder!"

"Dark Fireworks!"

Dark Energy covered Mirajane's hands as she rapidly closed in on Ye Yang, unleashing a relentless barrage of punches and kicks. Yet Ye Yang dodged every attack with ease.

"Damn it! Damn it! I couldn't hit San Mao, and I can't hit you either!"

"I taught San Mao. If you can't even touch San Mao, you think you can touch me?!"

Just then, Erza's voice came from the air behind him.

"Don't forget about me!"

"Heavenly Wheel: Sword of Three!"

Erza swiftly swung the longsword in her hand. It carved through the air, forming triangular sword energy that flew toward Ye Yang.

"Speed is power. Young lady, have you ever been kicked by light?"

Bang!

"Waaahhh!!"

Ye Yang sent Mirajane, who had closed in to attack him, flying with a single kick. Then, with a tap of his toes against the ground, his body vanished from where he stood. Erza's sword energy missed him, leaving deep marks in the ground.

Erza's nerves tightened as she sensed something was wrong. Ye Yang instantly appeared above her and drove a downward kick into her, slamming Erza hard into the ground.

The two girls slowly rose to their feet, looking somewhat disheveled.

So strong!

Looking at them, Ye Yang said, "Don't tell me that's all you've got. If it is, then neither of you will pass the S-Class Trial."

Ye Yang's taunt instantly ignited the girls' anger.

"Don't look down on us!!"

Their Magic Power surged in an instant as they charged at Ye Yang with sharp gazes.

"Heavenly Cloud Sword."

The three immediately began fighting at close range. Ye Yang held a Light Saber in one hand to fend off Erza while using Armament Color with the other to fight Mirajane.

The two girls' attacks were exceedingly fierce, but Ye Yang defused each one of them.

Mirajane said, "Damn it, if this keeps up, our Magic Power won't last much longer!"

"Dark Rampage!"

The moment Erza saw Mirajane use this move, she immediately retreated backward.

Magic Power fluctuations continuously surged from Mirajane's hands as her body spun fiercely. A powerful vortex formed in an instant, stirring the atmosphere and creating a small tornado centered on Mirajane.

"Go! Dark Storm!"

The pitch-black tornado rushed directly toward Ye Yang. The earth shattered in its wake, and its powerful suction uprooted the surrounding Trees.

Facing the black tornado speeding toward him, Ye Yang flashed with golden light and instantly appeared at its center.

Golden light gathered at his fingertips. A laser blast struck the base of the tornado, destroying it at once. The black tornado instantly dispersed, and Trees and rocks continuously fell from the sky.

By then, Erza had already changed into Black Wing Armor. Magic Power continuously gathered around her axe as she rapidly flew into the sky and viciously swung the axe down at Ye Yang.

"Black Feather: Shattering Strike!"

"Armament!"

Ye Yang directly covered his right hand with Armament Haki and raised it to block the powerful blow. He could have easily dodged it, but that would have been far too boring.

The slaughter from several months ago had changed Ye Yang's lazy disposition somewhat.

The instant his fist collided with the axe, black lightning erupted and raged continuously around the two of them.

Erza roared, "Haaahhhhh!!!"

"Get down there!"

But things did not go as she had imagined. Ye Yang remained completely unmoved as he watched her.

Then Ye Yang reached out with his other hand. Sensing danger, Erza was just about to flee when she realized that Ye Yang had somehow already seized her axe, while his fingers had reached her forehead.

Ye Yang flicked his finger, and the powerful force sent Erza into another intimate encounter with the ground.

Mirajane had already been preparing underground.

"Soul Annihilator!"

A powerful dark shockwave directly engulfed Ye Yang. As the shockwave continuously contracted, not even a trace of Ye Yang remained in the sky.

Mirajane panted heavily. That attack had nearly drained all of her Magic Power.

"Did... did we get him...?"

Erza also forced herself to stand. Just then, countless glimmers appeared in the sky, and the two girls' expressions instantly turned terrified.

The points of light rained down toward the ground like raindrops, each one causing a violent explosion.

On the ship in the distance, Natsu and the others watched the rain of light fall from the sky, all wearing excited expressions.

"So pret—"

Before he could finish the word, the distant mountain peak and the surrounding land exploded in an instant.

Cold sweat covered Makarov's face as he muttered to himself, "Why did that brat use this move?"

He clearly remembered that when they had gone to retrieve Ye Yang, Ye Yang had used this very move to wipe out several thousand mages.

"Those two should... should survive, right?"

As the explosions gradually faded, Ye Yang returned to the crater-filled ground. The scene was utterly silent. Erza and Mirajane lay motionless on the ground.

"Damn, did I use too much force?"

"Hey~ Are you two still alive~?"

Suddenly, Erza gritted her teeth and rose to her feet, covered in wounds.

"I... I won..."

After saying that, she immediately collapsed unconscious.

An hour later, Ye Yang slowly arrived at the ship's side with one girl in each arm.

Makarov gave him a hard smack on the head.

Bang!

"You brat, is that move something you can use on your companions?!"

"Don't worry, Old Man. I held back. Otherwise, more than just this mountain would've been destroyed."

"Hurry up and get those two treated."

After Lisanna and the others gave the two girls simple treatment, they helped them onto beds to rest.

Makarov looked at Ye Yang, who was lying in a chair, and asked, "So, which of them won in the end?"

"Erza."

At the end, she had clearly collapsed alongside Mirajane, but through sheer force of will, she had forced herself back to her feet.

"Their strength is about the same. Don't be fooled by how they usually clash with each other—they work together with perfect coordination."

"Give them some more time, and their strength will undergo another qualitative leap."

By the time the group returned to the guild, it was already noon the next day. The two girls still showed no signs of waking, so they were sent to Grandma Porlyusica. As expected, Makarov was scolded bloody.

It was not until the afternoon that the two girls finally woke up.

Porlyusica said impatiently, "Now that you're awake, leave quickly. I don't like humans."

Upon waking, the two roughly understood that the S-Class Trial had ended. By the time they returned to the guild, a banquet was already underway.
