Chapter 172: A Sparring Duel
On the guard tower in front of the military camp.
Fiona put down the monocular she held high, turned around and looked at Su Yu with a little surprise: "What, Tina wants to duel with me?"
"Yes, seven days later, Oran City Arena."
"But Tina is only at Level 4, how can she defeat me?" Fiona's face was a little cold. Is this looking down on her?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Su Yu put his hand in front of his chest and said extremely politely: "Just this morning, Tina has successfully advanced to the fifth level and become a powerful person."
"What?!"
Fiona was so shocked that she dropped the telescope in her hand and smashed to pieces on the floor.
"Tina has advanced to the fifth level? This..."
Fiona couldn't believe her ears. It had only been a few days, but Tina's strength had actually increased by another level!
Level 5 powerhouses are no big deal. The Plantagenet Empire plus its affiliated kingdoms and principalities have a total population of 130 million, and there are only about 1,500 powerhouses above level 5.
And based on Tina's age and cultivation speed, it is only a matter of time before she advances to the sixth-level holy realm or even the seventh-level legend.
No wonder the patron saint would look at her differently, this is too scary!
But Fiona didn't want to agree to Tina's invitation to a duel.
Obviously, after Tina advanced, she definitely wanted to establish her authority by defeating her.
However, for Fiona herself, defeating Tina will not do her any good, and it is impossible for her to regain the position of legion leader.
As for losing to Tina, of course it would be even worse, and she might also be ridiculed by her colleagues.
There is no benefit in winning or losing, so why should she accept the challenge?
Thinking of this, Fiona flipped up her hair and said coldly: "I have no interest in this duel, please go back!"
She turned around, leaving only Su Yu's back.
Of course, Su Yu knew that Fiona was likely to refuse to fight, so who would be willing to do something thankless?
But he was prepared.
Su Yu took out a golden magic crystal card from his backpack. There was a bright white number on the magic crystal card - 200,000.
This money did not belong to Su Yu, but to Tina.
During the attack on Milton's caravan, Su Yu gained the architectural drawings of the [Auction House] as well as some equipment and potions; Tina took away the magic crystal card that Milton carried with him, which contained a total of 8.83 million psychic powers. currency.
So Tina paid the money.
Su Yu raised the magic crystal card and said with a smile: "If you are willing to appear in this duel, this is the appearance fee for you."
Fiona turned slightly and glanced back at the magic crystal card in Su Yu's hand.
When she saw the numbers on the magic crystal card, her expression froze slightly.
"Ahem."
Fiona coughed twice, walked slowly to Su Yu, took off the magic crystal card in his hand, and asked: "I agree to Tina's request for a duel, do you need me to release the water during the duel?"
"No need." Su Yu shook his head: "Tina has just been promoted, and she is very eager for a worthy opponent. Of course, if possible, try to prolong the battle as long as possible, which is most beneficial to her growth."
"I understand what you mean." Fiona put the magic crystal card into her pocket.
Then, she looked at Su Yu with the eyes of a prey: "Is there anything else? Do you want to go sit in my room?"
Su Yu: "..."
Seven days later, Oran City Arena.
Today's arena was packed with people, and the seats, which could hold 30,000 spectators, were full.
The spectators waved flags excitedly and waited excitedly for the duel to begin.
This is a duel between level 5 experts!
The fifth-level strong men are all people with ID cards. The last time the grand arena hosted a fifth-level strong man for a duel was 20 years ago.
Everyone has encountered an epic duel that has not been seen in 20 years. How can everyone not cheer for it?
While cheering, the audience was also filled with a lot of discussion:
“John, what’s today’s handicap?”
"1.4: 2.52, Tina wins 1.4."
"Isn't that right? Didn't Tina just advance? Why is her odds lower than her opponent?"
"How do I know? Anyway, I voted for the other side."
"I voted for Tina. Last time Tina defeated the weak and the strong. This time it should be okay."
"Look, Tina is out!"
"It's really Tina, come on Tina!"
At this time, Tina, wearing golden armor and riding a unicorn, walked out of the east side door.
Tina's golden armor is no longer the one she originally wore at the fourth level, but a new set of equipment that cost her more than 300,000 psychic coins.
Seeing Tina coming out, the audience suddenly burst into deafening cheers, and everyone cheered for her.
In the stands to the north of the duel field, all two thousand Unicorn Knights of the Unicorn Knights were present, staring intently at their legion commander in the duel field below.
In the southern stands, the top brass of the Knights, headed by Vice Commander Gracie, were also sitting here. They did not speak to each other, but their faces were slightly worried.
At the same time, Fiona, dressed in silver armor, also walked out of the west door on a unicorn. However, her expression was particularly calm, unhurried, and she quietly waited for the duel to begin.
Three minutes later, the duel officially began.
Anger surged around Tina.
This time she did not ride the unicorn forward, but flew directly from the unicorn's back.
After advancing to the fifth level, the unicorn can no longer play a big role, and it is still more practical to fight in the air.
Fiona on the opposite side was not panicked either. She jumped from the back of the unicorn and flew up to fight Tina.
And she also remembered what she said to Su Yu. At the beginning, she did not use all her strength, but fought with Tina in a competitive manner, trying to prolong the fighting time.
Tina was not arrogant or impatient. She used Fiona as a whetstone and worked hard to hone her fighting skills.
Two fifth-level strongmen fought together in the sky of the duel field.
The space around them kept shaking, and the protective cover covering the sky also made a creaking friction sound.
However, the two of them fought very restrainedly, and the long sword and the one-handed sword kept colliding, treating this as a competition.
The two unicorns below had nothing to do, and stayed where they were, staring at each other. In the end, there was really nothing to do, and they even slowly walked to the edge of the duel field and leisurely ate weeds.
Tina and Fiona fought back and forth for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, the duel was decided: Fiona was too angry to fight again, and the final winner was Tina, who still had a little strength left.
Finally, the referee announced: Tina won!
Seeing Tina's victory, cheers broke out again in the stands.
But the cheers were not very enthusiastic.
There were also some discussions in the cheers:
"Although this battle is more advanced, it is not as exciting as the last time."
"Indeed, both sides fought very restrained, not like last time, fighting for their lives."
"But Tina is indeed better, worthy of being the one chosen by the guardian god!"
The fact that Tina was chosen by the guardian god has gradually spread, and now people in the whole city basically know it.
In the stands of the unicorn knights and the legion leaders.
After seeing Tina's true strength, the knights and the legion leaders also recognized this legion leader a little more.
Regardless of whether Fiona showed mercy or not, Tina's current fighting ability showed that she was indeed qualified to be the leader of the legion.
The knights and the senior officials stood up and applauded Tina.
…
Facing the cheers and applause from all around, Tina did not respond, nor did she rush to leave.
She first stood there to take a breath, then took out a stack of letters from her arms, and her little face became particularly serious.
