The Martial Arts Tournament at Xiao Ling's House (Three)

After the battle between the Yang Sui sisters, the atmosphere was thoroughly heated up, with all sides taking to the field and fighting a truly exhilarating match.

Let's talk about the Sun and Moon Team first. They are good partners on the battlefield and good opponents in the arena. Although Iuno Yu Nu's abilities are top-notch, she can't do anything against Augusta's time-stop attack, which lets you witness the eternal brilliance of the sun. There's nothing she can do. Unable to defeat the Governor-General's genius Yuno Yu Nu with all her might, she can only maintain her dignity and say that she'll stop here.

Next up were Liang Yu and Mia. Logically, Lupa should have taken this opportunity to have a real fight with Mia, but Lupa herself said that she could arrange such a thing anytime and let her choose someone other than herself as her opponent.

After pondering for a long time, Mia realized that none of the combatants present were easy to deal with, so she chose Liang Yu seemed to be her evenly matched opponent, as her opponent.

The fight between these two is more about skill than strength. For them, brute force is not the way to fly bricks; only skills honed through countless battles can be put to good use.

To be honest, their fight seemed a bit simple, but it was extremely entertaining. Every clash between the spear and the sword and shield kept the audience on the edge of their seats. In the end, Mia was just one move short and was knocked out of the arena by Liang Yu. But without a doubt, the two girls not only had a great time fighting, but also learned a lot from each other.

Following these two battles, the fifth round of the martial arts tournament welcomed two unexpected participants.

"Hmm? Yaya, aren't you not good at fighting? Why are you suddenly so eager to try?"

Dania had been sitting for a while and was about to get up and stretch when Hajiling, who was next to her, mistook it for (not really) her going on stage to show off her skills.

"I just felt like I'd been sitting for too long, so I got up and moved around a bit," Dania replied, twisting her neck three times to the left and three times to the right to get her body back into working order.

"If you really want to warm up, why don't you go up and have a fight?" Xiao Ling teased.

"Well, I'd need someone to fight me first," Dania said lazily. "Anyway, I'm not going to challenge anyone to a one-on-one duel..."

"Would Yaya like to have a spar with me, Ya Ya?"

The voice was slightly soft and sweet, yet it also carried a gentle firmness, as if what was about to take place was not a tense and exciting battle, but a carefully prepared tea party.

"The nun actually sought out someone to spar with?" Zani, crossing her legs with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"No, Zani, this isn't just a simple sparring match for me. Sometimes, a battle that ends in a draw can touch each other's hearts more deeply." Phoebe's slightly chubby face wore a gentle smile.

"That's very much like your style. Well then, I wish you good luck in your military endeavors."

Meanwhile, Dania, seeing Phoebe come to her, was about to gloss over the topic when she glanced over and saw Hajiling, Xixi, and Little Ai staring at her expectantly with wide, bright eyes... Hey Lao Ling, what are you doing getting involved in this mess?!

"... Never mind, consider it extra exercise for today."

(Don't worry about why it's extra exercise.)

"Yaya, I will give it my all in this battle, so I hope you will too!" Dania was dozing off while holding her staff when she suddenly heard Phoebe say this.

"Hmph~ It's just a simple sparring match, why did you have to go all out..."

!

Her body's warning signals were faster than Yaya's mind. In an instant, she realized that Phoebe's Mirror's Ring had landed at her feet and was about to bloom brilliantly.

"Descend!"

At Phoebe's command, the Mirror's Ring exploded, and the dazzling holy light it unleashed caught Dania and the audience off guard... or perhaps not so much off guard.

"Xixi, how did Yaya do in the practical test when she was at the academy?" Xiao Ling, who had already put on sunglasses, suddenly asked Sigrika about Dania's practical test results.

"Hmm... her performance was so-so, but in actual combat, Yaya has always focused on support and protection. When we team up, I usually take the lead in attacking and she takes the lead in defending," Sigrika explained after recalling carefully.

This is not surprising. After all, Dania's Form of Disillusionment requires the use of Aleph-1's power, firstly to conceal her identity, and secondly to prevent her hard-won best friend from being affected. In short, she could not openly display this power in front of the academy.

The camera pans back to the stage, the holy light dissipates, Phoebe's clear eyes gaze at Dania, who is floating in the air on bubbles, a serene smile on her face.

"How cunning! I wasn't even ready!" Dania complained.

"You reacted quickly too, Yaya," Phoebe nodded.

Without much small talk, as Dania landed lightly the instant the bubble burst, Phoebe's attacks came one after another. The blinding holy light and the sound of the bubble shattering testified to the intensity of this magical clash.

"Is this all Threnodian Resonator can do?" Iuno asked doubtfully. "Perhaps I overestimated the power Aleph-1 possessed?"

"If the price of this power is irreversible destruction, you wouldn't use it carelessly either," Augusta explained calmly.

The fight between Dania and Phoebe lasted for several rounds. Phoebe realized that her opponent never engaged in a direct confrontation, which was not the result she wanted. Therefore, she decided to increase her intensity.

Then, the audience below the stage, including Dania on stage, all felt that Phoebe's aura had undergone a complete 360-degree change.

Her expression changed from gentle to solemn, her soft and gentle tone transformed into the unique dignity of a clergyman, her hair shimmered, and her beautiful eyes took on a pale golden glow.

"Is she... angry?" Dania asked Phoebe, puzzled.

"This has nothing to do with emotions, Yaya, I just..."

Phoebe waved her staff, and the beam of light from before transformed into countless blades of light that began to slash at her relentlessly. Even when Dania used countless bubbles to defend herself, it was to no avail; in the end, they were all mercilessly shattered by the holy light that represented judgment.

I just wanted to have a serious fight with you.

Clearly, in Dania's current state, it was unrealistic to expect her to withstand the opponent's attack; the clothes she was wearing had been cut in several places by the light blades.

If we were to admit defeat, now might be a good opportunity?

"Yaya, why don't you show them how angry you are too!" Hajiling, who loves a good show, egged them on.

"Yaya, win big!" Sigrika sent an encouraging message to her best friend.

Not only these two, but the entire Star Torch Academy team was cheering for Dania; it seemed they really wanted to see Yaya win this round.

"Ugh... really, since you're all so excited, I'll just do something a little crazy then~"

"And everyone, thank you."

Then another dark light, representing nothingness, burst forth on the stage, and under the eager gaze of the audience, the Form of Disillusionment — Dania— made her grand entrance!

"So now, it's a battle between light and darkness?" Phoebe's tone was calm and even, but there was a hint of amusement in her voice at the end.

"Maybe? My friends are still watching me from below the stage. Let me show off a little longer, okay?" Dania said confidently with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the two attacked simultaneously. Dania, in her Form of Disillusionment, launched a powerful attack on Phoebe with her Exostrider hand, but Phoebe was no pushover either. Her continuous slashes with light blades left Phoebe with no opening to defend herself.

"Exile!"

A small black hole domain formed by Exostrider hand enveloped Phoebe, holding her firmly in place by a powerful suction force. Dania seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from a gap in Phoebe's defenses.

Repent!

Having barely regained her footing, Phoebe faced Dania's sudden attack. She struck Dania's Exostrider, delivering a fierce slash that caused Dania's attack to miss completely.

Dania, whose sneak attack failed, teleported back to her original spot and locked eyes with Phoebe. In that instant, they seemed to understand each other's intentions.

One strike decides the outcome!

"O glorious fruit! Please bestow your grace!"

"Glory! Vanished from this moment..."

The Divine Revelation Judgment and the Finale of the Veil clashed fiercely on the arena, with Dania and Phoebe constantly increasing their power output in an attempt to end the other. The battle between light and darkness reached its climax at this moment.

Finally, with a loud bang, a huge explosion erupted on the stage, bringing the battle to a perfect close.

"Are you warmed up now?"

"I feel like my body is falling apart..."

During halftime, Dania comfortably lay down on Xiao Ling's right leg to rest, because his jeers from the audience had made her lose her temper and overexert herself.

As for who was lying on Xiao Ling's left leg, the answer is obvious.

Phoebe's soft head settled on Xiao Ling's left leg. After the Pardon form ended, she would experience a period of exhaustion. Being gentle and kind by nature, she also disliked this form driven by pure judgment, but sometimes it was a necessary means.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy. If you have time later in the competition, could you record a replay for me?" Dania yawned. "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon," Xiao Ling said with a light laugh, and casually put on Professor Morning's specially made earplugs for her.

In this way, no matter how loud the battle becomes later, it won't disturb the peaceful sleep of this Kind Peach.
