Opponents and Partners in the Finals
Like the sun shining after a rainstorm, nothing major happened in the following days.
As if nothing had happened, people in the Battle City remained focused on the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival," and the atmosphere grew increasingly heated as the Phoenix Star Martial Festival progressed.
After that, Fang Li and Cecily also went through several matches.
However, compared to the time with Ardy and Limshi, in the following matches, although the opponents were not so much that Cecily could defeat them by herself as she had in the preliminaries, Fang Li and Cecily were not as thrilled as when they fought against Ardy and Limshi.
In the end, Fang Li and Cecily fought their way through the competition, winning one victory after another, and successfully advanced to the finals.
At this point, Fang Li was only one step away from the championship seat of the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival".
Meanwhile, the match between the other group of teams that would advance to the finals was taking place right in front of Fang Li.
"Drink up! Ahh...
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby--!"
In the spatial view, Ayato Amagiri and Kiririn Ditou shouted at the same time. One held the Black Furnace Demon Sword and the other held an ordinary katana. They ran on the stage of the Sirius Dome and charged towards each other.
Behind the two, Julius and Saya Sasamiya seemed to be fully embracing their role as long-range support. One wielded a rapier-type Imperial Armament, surrounded by fierce flames, while the other was equipped with a heavy combination cannon, the muzzle constantly gathering energy.
In the audience chamber of the Huangchen Hall, Fan Xinglu, Fang Li, Cecily, Zhao Hufeng, and the Li Siblings were all present, watching the semi-final match unfold.
Yes.
The semi-final, which will determine the other team advancing to the final, is an internal battle between participants from the Star Guidance Academy.
Ayato Amagiri x Saya Sasamiya VS Kiririn Ditou x Julius Alexia von Risfeld.
The excitement of this semi-final was no less than that of Fang Li and Cecily's match against Ardy and Limshi.
After all, both sides are very powerful Star Pulse Generation.
Although Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya had been relatively unknown before this, one was ranked first in the Star Guidance Academy rankings in the original work, and the other even fought to a draw with Limshi in the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" and ultimately won.
The strength of these two individuals is so formidable that it needs no further explanation.
The same goes for Kiririn Ditou and Julius, who are ranked first and fifth respectively, and are definitely not weaker than the former.
Therefore, this semi-final was incredibly exciting.
Ayato Amagiri and Kiririn Ditou both engaged in an unparalleled close-quarters battle with exquisite swordsmanship. Their figures constantly intertwined on the stage, yet their blades never clashed, as if they were competing in skill, leaving the audience mesmerized.
Saya Sasamiya and Julius stayed in the rear, providing long-range support attacks with fierce artillery fire and intense flames, and occasionally they would bombard each other, causing explosions above the stage, as dazzling as fireworks.
Under these circumstances, the fierce battle between the two sides continued, with neither side giving an inch, drawing cheers from the audience.
Even Fan Xinglu was incredibly happy about the match, clapping her hands repeatedly as she watched.
"That's right! That's exactly it! Both Ayato Amagiri and Kiririn Ditou possess extraordinary talent! Why aren't these two students of Kai Ryu?"
This sentence clearly shows how happy Fan Xinglu was and how much she thought highly of the two people.
Cecily and Zhao Hufeng nodded involuntarily, a hint of fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
Both Ayato Amagiri and Kiririn Ditou are strong individuals who are no weaker than Cecily and Zhao Hufeng.
Julius and Saya Sasamiya, one with superb abilities and the other with superb skills, are equally impressive and worthy of admiration.
As a result, among those present, only the Li Siblings were making sarcastic remarks.
"Kiririn Ditou is one thing."
"But someone like Ayato Amagiri, isn't he really that great?"
Li Shenyun and Li Shenhua's words were filled with disdain for Ayato Amagiri.
That's true.
Compared to Kiririn Ditou, Ayato Amagiri has a seal on his body, which means he can only exert his power for a certain period of time. Even if he is exceptionally strong during this time, he is just a paper tiger once the time limit is over. No wonder the Li Siblings are so disdainful of him.
However, faced with the disdain of the Li Siblings, Fang Li merely glanced at them and, seemingly out of kindness, reminded them, "Senior brother and sister, don't forget, it was this 'nothing special' who defeated you?"
The Li Siblings ' faces immediately darkened.
Right after Ayato Amagiri's seal was revealed, in the next two matches, Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya faced off against the Kai Ryu team.
No one is optimistic about either of these two matches between Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya.
After all, Ayato Amagiri's seal was far too deadly. Given the time limit, no one believed that Ayato Amagiri had any chance of winning against a powerful Kairyu.
However, the result was quite surprising.
In the first match, Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya, relying on their long-standing tacit understanding as childhood friends, defeated Fang Li's two senior brothers, ranked 20th and 21st in the sequence.
In the second match, Ayato Amagiri was under time constraints, so he was heavily targeted by the twin siblings, the Li Siblings. However, Saya Sasamiya took out a weapon she had kept hidden, namely the combination cannon, the "Imperial Armament," which she was using on stage and which seemed to be equipped all over her body. With its terrifying destructive power, it blasted the twin siblings into a daze. Finally, Ayato Amagiri found an opportunity and cut off the school badge in one fell swoop.
After that, Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya also fought their way through the challenges. Although it was much more difficult for them than for Fang Li and Cecily, they made it to this point without any major incidents.
Therefore, the Li Siblings had no right to mock Ayato Amagiri.
"Oh?"
At this moment, Fan Xinglu spoke.
"It seems the outcome is decided."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the spatial window.
The next second, everyone saw it.
While engaging in close combat with Kiririn Ditou, Ayato Amagiri suddenly turned around and charged like an arrow towards Julius, who was acting as a defender. Before Julius could react, he slashed off her school badge.
Julius's elimination left Kiririn Ditou somewhat bewildered, and Saya Sasamiya seized the opportunity to shoot down the school badge with a single bullet from a small gun-shaped Imperial Armament.
"The match is over. The winners are Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya."
Upon hearing the verdict, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.
