Chapter 454

Xiao Guang even wanted to ask the staff for some Imprint Stone to record this ultimate showdown so he could watch it repeatedly when he got home.

At the same time, Xiaoguang could also sense his aunt's anticipation for this competition.

"Auntie, who do you think will win, my older sister or my Dad?" Xiao Guang asked.

"Objectively speaking, even if a hundred of your older sisters came, they still couldn't win."

Ischa first gave a realistic analysis, but then added, "However, it's hard to say. Who knows if your old man will go easy on you?"

Xiao Guang blinked his beautiful big eyes. "Auntie, according to you, even if Dad releases enough water to flood the entire Samael Continent, Big Sister still can't win, right?"

Ischa smiled and gently tapped Xiaoguang's nose. "Watch closely. I'm also looking forward to seeing how they will carry out this ultimate showdown."

Losweiser watched quietly from the side.

She knew that Leon would definitely throw the game so that his eldest daughter would win.

But the problem is, Noa isn't stupid.

Based on her understanding of Noa, Losweiser was certain that her daughter knew in her heart that she could not defeat her father.

Therefore, this is a considerable test for Leon's relaxed acting skills.

He had to appear very serious, but he couldn't be too deliberate when he was being lenient.

It needs to achieve the effect of "Wow, what a pity! I tried my best, but I still couldn't do anything!"

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, only by naturally feigning 'carelessness' could the daughter accept the outcome of the duel.

Of course, the couple had also discussed it carefully in the cellar a dozen minutes earlier.

They all wanted Noa to win the final victory, but there was no need to force it too much.

If you deliberately hold back in order to achieve this goal in a very obvious way, it will only make Noa unhappy. It's better to just play normally.

In short, for Leon, losing this duel 'perfectly' was more difficult than winning it easily.

"I need to be more serious than when I dealt with those dragon kings before," Leon thought to himself.

Meanwhile, in the very center of the lobby on the first floor, the father and daughter got into position.

Their ultimate showdown game was a mini-game called "Catch the Bell".

The rules are simple:

Each person ties a bell around their waist, and whoever snatches the other person's bell first is considered the winner.

At this moment, the father and daughter, who had already tied the bells to their bells, stood ready on either side of the field.

"Hey, kid."

Inside the dark golden waterway, the ancestor, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly struck up a conversation with Noa.

"What."

The flow of time in the consciousness space is different from that in the normal world, so Noa has enough time to chat with her ancestors.

"You should know that in this kind of physical confrontation game, you have absolutely no chance of winning against your father, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Noa's tone was calm. She shrugged and continued slowly,

"But what do you want me to do? Just admit defeat, then whine to my Dad and ask him to give me the prize, the Black Holy Stone?"

"That certainly sounds like it saves time and effort."

The old ancestor chuckled, "But I know you won't do that."

"I never expected the game to end like this. So I probably can't get the Night Spirit Crystal— "

"If you want to win, then don't say discouraging things."

The old ancestor was unusually serious when he said this.

The white dragon eyes reflected Noa's small figure as she continued speaking.

"Although the gap in strength between us and our opponent is too great, analysis and preparation before the battle are still necessary. You don't think you can't beat your father at all, so you plan to just use brute force to fight it out, do you?"

Noa's pupils flickered slightly, a hint of emotion crossing her usually calm face, but it vanished in an instant.

She took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and replied.

"Besides the absolute difference in strength, my Dad also has much more combat experience than me. The tactics I can think of are all taught to me by him or the academy, which are too rigid."

"That's right. So be flexible later, don't always think about what you learned in school, you have to be flexible and use your brain."

Noa nodded. "Okay, I understand."

"Well... in the end, we still need to give them a little encouragement."

The ancestor gazed at Noa, and gradually, the small figure seemed to slowly overlap with her past self in her eyes.

Ten thousand years ago, countless people advised her not to try to become the savior of the Dragon Race.

But she still resolutely chose that path.

And now, in this little girl, Noah seems to see that belief of 'I will go even if there are thousands of people against me'.

"Although this is just a simple bell-catching game, I am very pleased with your determination to do it even though you know it's impossible. Keep it up, little guy, give it your all and leave no regrets."

Noa gave a soft "hmm" and then left the space of consciousness.

The staff just then announced the start of the game.

The father and daughter faced each other from a distance of five or six meters, neither of them making the first move.

"I really didn't expect you to still have such a prop card, Noa," Leon said with a smile.

"Dad, do you know who I most wanted to face when I found this card?"

Who is it?

Noa's eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

"It's you, Dad."

Leon raised an eyebrow slightly, intrigued.

"I thought you would choose your Mom or Helena, but it's me instead."

"Of course it's you, it's always been you."

Noa crouched down slightly, arched her back, and stretched her legs, preparing to pounce.

"I've always really wanted to have a real showdown with you, Dad."

"So even in a simple game like catching bells... I'll give it my all."

Although I don't quite understand why the eldest daughter would say something like, "I've always wanted to compete with you," it's remarkable that she could maintain such fighting spirit even knowing the vast difference in skill level...

Leon was still very happy.

Once upon a time, when he was young, he was just like Noa now, challenging his master by leaps and bounds of countless combat power levels.

As a result, he was beaten so badly by that old guy who didn't know his own strength that he was completely scrambling to his feet.

Well, he definitely won't be like his master.

"I'm going to go, Dad."

"Good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Noa rushed forward and headed straight for the bell at Leon's waist.

But such a direct attack, which makes no attempt to conceal its intentions, is child's play for Leon.

He easily dodged Noa's attack by slightly turning his body to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Leon reached out towards the bell at Noa's waist.

He moved very quickly.

But it's not the fastest.

While ensuring he wouldn't directly steal Noa's bell, Leon also couldn't let her realize that he was deliberately going easy on her.

Noa's reaction was also extremely quick.

After missing his first attack, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity, shifting the side of his waist with the bell attached to the other side.

Leon also missed his target.

After landing, Noa touched the ground with her toes and quickly launched a second, even more ferocious attack.

Because of the height difference, Noa has to jump if she wants to grab the bell.

However, regardless of the method of takeoff, a huge opening will be revealed halfway through the jump.

Noa keenly realized this after her first failed attempt.

Therefore, in this second round of attacks, Noa was not in a hurry, but focused on disrupting Leon's lower body balance.

She can use her slightly shorter stature to make her father bend over to defend her.

Leon quickly saw through Noa's tactics, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You've turned a disadvantage into an advantage, not bad, Noa."

"A very good teacher told me—"

As Noa spoke, her hands never stopped their offensive movements.

"Don't stick to those routines; use your brain more."

Deep within my consciousness, I seemed to hear that 'excellent teacher's' haughty hum.

"Okay, then you—try this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon stretched out his arm and, taking advantage of his arm length and height, grabbed Noa by the back of her collar and lifted her up.

This is what I mentioned at the beginning: an absolute gap in strength.

As long as Leon makes even a slight use of his strengths, Noa's tactics will be quickly broken down.

"Then Dad won't stand on ceremony, your bell is mine."

Leon carried Noa in one hand and slowly reached for her waist with the other.

Noa struggled for a moment, but found that she couldn't muster any strength with her legs dangling in the air.

But her Dad's ruthless hand was about to snatch the bell away from her.

In that critical moment, Noa bit her lower lip, suddenly exerted force in her waist, and used the momentum of her body swaying back and forth to slightly lift herself up.

Then, Noa seized the opportunity and used her tail to hook onto her father's arm, forcibly shifting the position of her waist.

Leon was also slightly surprised.

"Wow, baby, you're so agile!"

"There are even more flexible options!"

With that, Noa used Leon's arm as a fulcrum and used her tail to "pry" her entire body up.

She used her father's forearm as a horizontal bar and did a clean and neat "abdominal bar wrap" on it, successfully hanging on Leon's shoulders.

This is because her father exercises regularly and has well-developed arm muscles; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support Noa in performing such difficult movements.

"Dad, I want to be Dragon Knight."

"Ha?"

Noa, who was standing on Leon's shoulders, did not stop. She leaned over and rode on her father's neck.

Just like the 'Dragon Knight' game that Mu En and Leon used to play.

"But how are you going to snatch the bell from my waist when you're riding so high?"

As Leon spoke, he gently held his daughter's ankle, which was resting on his chest, as if afraid that she might fall if they started moving vigorously.

Noa chuckled softly.

"Of course... that's how it is!"

As she spoke, Noa leaned back and hooked her legs under her father's arms to secure her body.

Then he performed a very standard backbend.
