A Team Winning One Victory After Another

As Ayato Amagiri slowly walked onto the stage, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng both showed suspicious expressions in the players' lounge.

"Is that the opponent you mentioned we need to be wary of?" Cecily asked, utterly puzzled. "He doesn't seem to have anything special about him."

"That's what I think too." Zhao Hufeng echoed Cecily's words and agreed, "Although I didn't go to the scene to watch the battle and couldn't feel the amount of Star Pulse Energy and the flow of Omni-element, judging from the opponent's movements, they seemed a bit too loose and didn't seem to be a very strong opponent."

really.

If someone has a keen eye, they can tell Ayato Amagiri's level at a glance.

Even with some inaccuracies, judging from the current situation, Ayato Amagiri is probably only capable of fighting against opponents within the rankings, not even comparable to the Initial Page Twelve, let alone rivaling the top-tier figures from various academies.

Therefore, both Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were somewhat puzzled by Fang Li's statement.

Fang Li didn't say much about this, but smiled at Cecily and Zhao Hufeng and said, "You'll find out as you continue watching."

Upon hearing this, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng didn't say anything more and turned their gazes to the spatial window in front of them.

The game had already begun there.

Partnering with Ayato Amagiri is a petite girl, about the same size as Kiririn Ditou, with shoulder-length light blue hair, wearing the uniform of the Star Guidance Academy High School.

That was Ayato Amagiri's childhood friend— Saya Sasamiya.

However, Saya Sasamiya did not make a move, but instead stepped back and handed the stage over to Ayato Amagiri.

Under these circumstances, Ayato Amagiri simply stepped forward and raised the Activation Body in his hand.

The next moment, Ayato Amagiri's voice resounded across the stage.

"—Break through the Star Prison with the hidden sword, unleash our mighty power—"

When these incantation-like words resounded from Ayato Amagiri's mouth, a surge of Star Pulse Energy erupted from his Ayato Amagiri.

The dense Star Pulse Energy converged into a beam of light, as if it had been freed from a cage, rising from Ayato Amagiri's body and transforming into a pillar of light that shot straight upwards.

Driven by such intense Star Pulse Energy, the Activation Body in Ayato Amagiri's hand also emitted light, undergoing reconstruction starting from the hilt and extending into a heavy energy blade, forming a pure black greatsword.

That is the Pure Star Imperial Armament — the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

Immediately, Ayato Amagiri disappeared.

Like a gust of wind, Ayato Amagiri's figure suddenly flashed past his two opponents.

When they reappeared, Ayato Amagiri was already behind the two contestants.

Immediately afterwards, the two school badges split open from the two contestants' bodies and fell off.

The mechanical pronouncement rang out.

"The match is over. The winners are Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya."

As soon as the mechanical sound subsided, the entire Sirius Dome was immediately engulfed in a frenzy of cheers.

Ayato Amagiri seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, de-materializing the Black Furnace Demon Sword. With a relaxed smile, he returned to Saya Sasamiya's side, who had come to greet him, like an innocent young man.

The cheers continued.

Meanwhile, in the players' lounge, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng, who had witnessed Ayato Amagiri's performance, were speechless and unable to utter a word.

Only when the duo of Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya stepped off the stage in the spatial view and the cheers began to subside did the two of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Junior brother, you're right," Cecily said helplessly. "This man is indeed an opponent we need to be wary of."

"He's really strong." Zhao Hufeng said with a solemn expression, "His skill in that instant was so impressive that even I almost couldn't keep up because of my carelessness. In addition, with the Black Furnace Demon Sword, if I hadn't used the Heaven-Piercing Boots, I probably wouldn't have been his match."

For Zhao Hufeng, who is usually not one to back down, to say such a thing, it's clear that Ayato Amagiri's strength is at least on par with Cecily and Zhao Hufeng.

"But why is that?" Zhao Hufeng asked, still puzzled. "Before the match started, Ayato Amagiri's movements were a bit loose, but after the match started, his movements were like gears suddenly meshing together, and his strength suddenly surged. Even his Star Pulse Energy seemed to have increased to an unbelievable level. Why is that?"

"I feel the same way." Cecily raised her hand and chimed in, "I always felt that the man didn't seem to be hiding his strength, but rather that he suddenly became stronger."

However, Fang Li shook his head and said, "It wasn't a sudden increase in strength. That was indeed Ayato Amagiri's strength. So, he really was hiding his true abilities very well."

After saying that, Fang Li added meaningfully, "Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean he hid it himself."

"He didn't hide it himself?" Cecily asked, puzzled.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hufeng was also somewhat confused.

However, Fang Li didn't say anything more and suddenly switched channels to watch another match.

That was a match between Kiririn Ditou and Julius.

On the stage, Kiririn Ditou used lightning-fast combos to corner her opponent, and then easily sliced off her school badge with a single slash from below.

On the other side, Julius held a rose-colored, rapier-shaped Imperial Armament high into the sky, her entire body engulfed in fierce red flames, transforming into fiery wheels that swept across the stage like runaway flying wheels, crashing heavily onto another opponent and blasting him away.

Although she didn't pull off a one-hit kill like Ayato Amagiri, Kiririn Ditou's straightforward battle against Julius still allowed her to easily win the fight.

After all, today is only the first day of the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival". In order to ensure the watchability of the show, the committee cannot arrange for all the strong teams with the strength to win the championship to meet in the preliminary round.

Clearly, whether it's Fang Li and Cecily, Julius and Kiririn Ditou, or Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya, they all have the strength to win the championship.

Therefore, the competitions for all three groups were relatively easy, with a high degree of performance involved, making them much less difficult.

Therefore, Fang Li was not at all surprised by Julius and Kiririn Ditou's easy victory.

Immediately afterward, Fang Li pondered for a moment, then opened another channel.

This time, instead of ordinary contestants, two mechanical puppets appeared in the spatial view.

It was none other than the Alcant Research Institute's morphology.
