Chapter 82: Rules
“The rules of the competition are very simple, but the format is somewhat different. We will have one magical girl and one warrior accompanying each other in pairs for duels.”
“Many people may question, how could any of these magical girls, who are local geniuses like treasures, be defeated? And the warriors accompanying them are undoubtedly the strongest of the strong. How could other magical girls possibly stand a chance?”
“Indeed, among these warriors, I myself have seen many peak ‘Celestial’ level experts. As for the ‘Imperial Seal’ level, it depends on everyone’s judgment.”
“And here is how we set it up: the warriors will wear these gloves.” The female emcee, Siva, lightly pointed to the exquisitely packaged gloves in front of her, then continued.
“These gloves are provided by the Duke of Cyril’s first branch, a national treasure called ‘Heaven’s Restraint.’ Its function is to confine extremely
powerful prisoners. When worn by the wearer, the custodians can adjust the strength of its restraints. It is said that its power can even render ‘Imperial Seal’ level experts as powerless as ordinary people.”
As these words were spoken, there was an immediate wave of astonishment from the audience. A pair of such super handcuffs, if worn by someone else, no matter how imposing they were, they would obediently eat jail food. It truly befits the status of a national treasure.
“After all, the warriors here are all extremely powerful beings. Not only in terms of strength but also in experience, they surpass the little angels by several times. Therefore, the strength adjusted by the warriors is controlled at the upper level of ‘Qi and Harmony.'”
When Charles uttered these words, it was evident that many warriors on stage furrowed their brows. Suppressing their strength to the upper level of ‘Qi and Harmony’ was indeed too forced. Although their opponents were novice magicians, being labeled as prodigy girls naturally indicated their extraordinary abilities. Some of them had even advanced to the level of third-rank official magicians. With luck, some might have already awakened their unique magic. Obviously, for these warriors, forcing themselves to the upper level of ‘Qi and Harmony’ had put them in a very difficult situation.
However, this is what makes the show more entertaining, Charles thought to himself. A faint smile crept onto his lips, barely perceptible.
“There are a few more rules. First, there’s a sixty-second time limit. That’s right, each duel is limited to sixty seconds. If there’s no clear winner after sixty seconds, the decision will be made by the five judges, with the majority ruling.”
“The second point concerns the conditions for victory or defeat. If one side surrenders or is about to suffer a fatal blow, it will be considered a defeat.”
“Then there’s the points system. Since both the magical girls and the warriors will participate in the duels, the judges will score the winners and losers of each battle. The final ranking score for your group of warriors and magical girls in the third round will be the sum of your scores.”
“Correspondingly, the number of contestants advancing to the next round will be reduced to ten! Do you all understand what I’m saying?”
Most people on the field nodded solemnly.
Meanwhile, Jinlisi, listening on the side, spoke sternly to the female warrior beside her.
“Listen well, Mo Qingting. If you encounter someone like Yuehai Arena Xuelian, don’t show any mercy. Beat them mercilessly! Do you understand?”
“…” Mo Qingting, dressed in a strong outfit, frowned slightly. If the Second Miss continued to pursue quick success and instant benefits like this, although she had the advantage of talent, it was not impossible for her to become a prodigal son. Easily being jealous of others would become the biggest obstacle for the Miss in the future.
“Didn’t you hear what I said, Mo Qingting?”
“Yes.”
On the other side, Xuelian’s face was gloomy as she stared at Yuehai and Claude, her teeth audibly grinding together.
This is truly shameless. Xuelian, as the princess, has never allowed anyone to splatter blood on her face. Whether it’s this grudge or the affection between her and Claude, she will make them pay back twice as much!
“Ufas, if you encounter Miss Yuehai, smash her face for me!”
However, Ufas only glanced at Xuelian, sighed helplessly, and finally nodded. Nobody knows, not even the Duke of Cyril probably, that Xuelian’s purpose for coming this time is to see Claude. Originally, they had agreed to meet at the Avalon Academy to nurture their relationship in the future.
However, after learning about Yuehai from the informants she had planted to report on every move of Claude, Xuelian couldn’t sit still anymore. She hastily notified the Cyril Duchy and swiftly boarded the imperial train to rush over.
Such behavior hardly befits a princess; she’s more like a stalker. Ufas couldn’t help but think to himself. He had watched Xuelian grow up, but he never imagined that this little one would become so obsessed. As someone who had always pursued martial arts, Ufas found it hard to fathom.
Meanwhile, down below, Dragon Slayer couldn’t help but show a knowing smile upon hearing this rule. This match seemed tailor-made for Tyr, didn’t it? While others might find it very uncomfortable to restrain their strength to the upper level of ‘Qi and Harmony’, to the point where they couldn’t even properly execute their usual martial techniques, Tyr was different. From the beginning, he never bothered with Qi. Based on Dragon Slayer’s years of experience, Tyr seemed to be so obsessed with martial arts that he forgot everything else. He even disregarded Qi, which he hardly bothered to practice unless it was necessary for his sword techniques.
With someone like Tyr, who is so obsessed with martial arts, what chance do those magical girls on the field have against him? Dragon Slayer couldn’t help but smile even more, but after realizing something, she suddenly stifled her laughter. Inwardly, she wondered, why was she feeling so pleased about this?
