The next morning.

Kelly put on the armor given by Lily, carried a silver sword, rode a blue leopard that was more majestic than a horse, and came to the arena.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately became the focus of the audience.

People's attention was focused on the blue leopard under her crotch.

Everyone was amazed!

In the box, Lily accompanied her mother to watch the game.

When she saw her lover entering, her beautiful eyes sparkled.

It was also her first time seeing a blue leopard and she was very curious.

"Alan! Congratulations on becoming the focus of the whole audience. You are more popular than me!" Kelly laughed and teased her brother.

Alan rolled his eyes helplessly.

In blue leopard form, he can talk to his sister.

But he didn't want to speak up, lest he draw more unnecessary attention.

Carrying my sister on my back to compete was embarrassing enough, but I didn't want my identity to be discovered by the audience.

Kelly is still very considerate of her younger brother.

He didn't hold a whip in his hand, nor did he put a saddle on Blue Leopard, for fear that his brother's self-esteem would be hurt.

There were a total of thirty-two contestants in the martial arts tournament.

Kelly easily defeated her first two opponents and advanced to the quarterfinals, successfully concluding the first day of competition.

The two main competitors, Lyon and Robert, also advanced as expected.

What Alan didn't expect was...

My sister’s first opponent tomorrow is Leon, known as the “Thunder Lion”!

Only by defeating Lyon can my sister advance to the semi-finals.

Lyon's strength was demonstrated in the competition arena today.

Ride on a ferocious lion, charge with a gun, and be unstoppable!

The Lancer family's secret martial art, the "Thunder Gun", is extremely powerful!

Leon's first opponent blocked the lance with a steel shield.

The lightning burst out from the tip of the spear and was conducted through the shield...

The electric shock made his hair stand on end, his whole body was paralyzed, and he fell off his horse.

Leon's second opponent is even more powerful and is known as the "Spider Knight".

This person's mount is a giant spider, and he is also proficient in the 2nd-level "Spider Web".

As soon as he came on the field, he cast a spell to create spider web traps all over the ground.

The spider mount can move freely on the spider web, but the ferocious lion ridden by Leon is entangled in the spider web and cannot take advantage of the lance charge.

Logically speaking, Lyon should have been in a tough battle, but the result was shocking!

Leon cast a spell on his mount which was entangled in spider webs.

After that, the lion turned into a vague phantom.

The phantom lion carries its master through the spider web.

Rushing to the opponent like lightning.

Lyon thrusts his gun and stabs!

Easily defeat the confused Spider Jockey.

Alan couldn't understand how Leon cracked the spider web trap.

Afterwards, the sister used the magic ring to connect mentally with Lily in the box in the stands and asked this question.

After Lily's explanation, I learned that Leon had awakened a 2nd level magic called "Phantom Charge".

After the blessing, you and your mount will temporarily transform into virtual entities, and will not be blocked by physical obstacles when running.

You can even fly in the air!

"Phantom Charge" can only last for six seconds, during which time the mount cannot stop running, otherwise it will return to its physical form.

Despite all the limitations, this trick is still very powerful!

Especially in an arena with limited space, six seconds is enough to rush to the opponent and end the battle!

The thought of fighting against the powerful Leon tomorrow.

Kelly told her brother frankly that she was unsure.

But what she didn't expect was...

That evening, Leon came to see her privately.

"Arthur, you should forfeit tomorrow's match."

Lyon told his brother-in-law frankly the purpose of his visit.

"You have done your best by defeating two opponents today."

"If you meet me tomorrow, you won't be able to win no matter what."

"In fact, I made this match list."

"The reason why you will meet me tomorrow is also destined."

"Why?" Kelly finally found a chance to interrupt.

"Because I don't want to make my sister sad."

Leon sighed.

"If you meet me, you still have a chance to admit defeat."

"If you meet Robert, you're dead!"

"Don't you understand, Arthur?"

"I deliberately separated you from Robert and blocked you from the next round."

"This way, you can exit gracefully before you encounter Robert and save your life."

"I put so much thought into this because of Lily!"

"Leon, I want to thank you for your hard work." Kelly said firmly, "The problem is that if I give up, it means I give up Lily. I can't accept that."

"In order to marry Lily home, I must fight to the end!"

"Even if the opponent is me?" Lyon asked coldly.

"Even if the opponent is you!" Kelly was not afraid.

Leon nodded, his eyes extremely complicated.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you, Arthur. I have always called you a coward and a wimp. I was wrong."

"Your courage amazes me!"

"If it were a different time, a different place, maybe we would become good friends."

"Unfortunately... it's too late to say anything now."

"Since you insist on fighting, I'll see you in the arena tomorrow!"

"Let me be frank with you. I will not show any mercy!"

…

The next day.

The martial arts competition went on as usual.

Alan and his sister entered the duel arena.

Opposite him was Leon, wearing golden armor and riding a ferocious lion.

The mask covered Leon's face, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.

The referee blew the whistle.

Lyon immediately charged forward with his gun!

Kelly rode on the blue leopard, ready for battle.

Lily's anxious mental fluctuations came into his mind.

"Arthur! Don't forget to use that potion!"

The distance between the lion and the blue leopard is getting closer and closer.

The audience outside, especially Lily, held their breath nervously.

Kelly suddenly raised her hand and threw a medicine bottle.

Arthur didn't think twice and swung his gun!

Bang!

The medicine bottle shattered and glass shards flew everywhere.

Leon and Lily, brother and sister, were both stunned.

It was an empty bottle!

At the same time, Kelly waved her hand and cast a "flash spell".

The target is Leon's mount!

The running lion was suddenly blinded by the strong light.

He let out a howl of pain and staggered.

Lying on the lion's back, Leon quickly freed his hands to grab the reins.

At this critical moment, Kelly threw out another medicine bottle.

Leon had no time to dodge and the medicine bottle hit his visor.

It shattered with a bang!

A liquid with a spicy smell splashed out.

Along the grid of his visor, it dripped...

Leon sat upright on the lion's back, motionless.

…Why doesn’t it work?

Kelly's face turned pale with shock.

"Hehe...Lily told you, right?"

Leon took off his helmet.

Under the visor, there was a mask covering the mouth and nose.

Leon's mask blocked out the scent of the potion.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Leon sneered, “Such crooked tricks are useless to me!”

Before he could finish his words, he thrust his spear forward!

Hound pace!

Kelly jumped directly off the blue leopard's back and narrowly avoided the oncoming spear.

The moment my feet touched the ground, a strong wind blew from behind!

The roar of the lion echoes in my ears!

Without thinking, Kelly put her hands on the ground and kicked backwards.

Bang!

The right foot, infused with "bone-penetrating force", kicked hard on the lion's chin.

The lion couldn't help but shake his head upwards.

His jaw, which had been hit hard, suddenly closed and bit his tongue.

He wailed with blood flowing from his mouth.

Leon held the reins tightly with his left hand and soothed the injured mount.

He raised the lance that was shining with lightning in his right hand and stabbed it hard into Kelly's thigh.

He didn't want to kill her fiancé in front of his sister.

However, this arrogant guy must be made to suffer!

Swish!

A blue shadow suddenly passed by in front of him.

It was like a flash of lightning!

Leon came to his senses and found that there was only an empty space in front of him.

Arthur, who was kneeling on one knee with his back to him, had been carried away by the swift blue leopard.

What made Leon shudder even more was... a spicy smell that rushed straight into his nose!

The blue leopard just leapt past him.

In an instant, two things happened.

One is to rescue the owner.

The second is to wave his claws and tear off the mask on his face!

“Oh no…”

Lyon's heart suddenly fell to the bottom!

Alan relented and gently put Kelly down.

He turned and looked at Leon.

The arrogant "Thunder Lion" was staggering as if he was drunk.

Finally he fell off his mount, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Who could have imagined?

Lyon's weakness...

It turns out that I am allergic to catnip!

…

Catnip, also known as nepetalactone, contains nepetalactone.

Some cats inhale this substance and feel like they are taking drugs, causing them to hallucinate.

They were either spinning around on the ground, unable to contain their excitement, or staring blankly in a trance, drooling - just like Leon at this moment.

The medicine bottle that Lily gave to Kelly contained catnip essential oil.

She secretly extracted this essential oil just to help her lover deal with her own brother.

Unexpectedly, Leon was also very alert. He put on a mask to block out the smell of catnip, which almost made her efforts in vain.

“Thank you for the blessings of our ancestors!”

In the box, Lily covered her violently beating heart and murmured to herself thankfully.

"Thanks to that clever blue leopard!"

…

Kelly's semi-final opponent is named Sean, also known as the "Green Knight".

All knights who come to participate in the tournament must introduce themselves.

There are also "landless knights" whose families have fallen into poverty and long since lost their territories, and who are eager to become famous through tournaments and revive their family fortunes.

"Green Forest Knight" Sean is the second case.

This person is unknown and his background is quite suspicious.

However, Earl Lancer made an exception and allowed him to attend the conference.

Sean had a letter of recommendation in his hand.

A very prestigious noble general endorsed him.

Then, Sean's identity as a knight is beyond doubt.

Alan and Kelly also watched Sean's first three duels.

This person's cultivation level is probably in the late first stage.

He is of medium height and thin build.

She has an average appearance and some minor physical defects.

High and low shoulders.

The right shoulder is obviously larger than the left one.

It is said that this person had a large tumor on his right shoulder.

Born with a deformity, it is not only ugly, but also inconvenient to wear armor.

Sean's family doesn't seem to be well-off. He doesn't have the money to customize knight armor according to his deformed body, so he wears standard armor.

The right shoulder armor was removed and replaced with a piece of leather to wrap the tumor area so as not to hinder the movement of the right arm.

Sean's performance in the arena was not outstanding.

The only thing he has to show off is his archery skills.

Shoot quickly and accurately, that's all.

Logically speaking, such mediocre players should have been eliminated long ago.

The reason why Sion was able to rank among the top four was all thanks to his "mount".

This person tamed a giant python using some unknown method!

The huge reptile is twenty meters long from head to tail!

The body is as thick as a water tank!

Sion's tactics are quite rogue!

As soon as he came on the stage, he hid behind the giant python and just shot arrows.

When the opponent shot arrows in retaliation, he squatted behind the giant python that was coiled in a snake formation, using the python's slippery and hard scales as a cover to block the arrows shot from the opposite side.

If the opponent rushed over and sought close combat, Sean would whistle, ordering the python to stretch its body, pounce on it and entangle the opponent.

He ran away, hid in the distance, and continued to shoot arrows from behind.

Sean used this despicable tactic to win three games in a row.

The knights who lost to him were very unwilling to accept the defeat!

Accusing Sion of playing in a vulgar way and winning unfairly!

Sean was unmoved.

No matter how obscene it is, a winner is a winner!

What can you do to me?!

The referee on the sidelines had nothing to say.

Sion's fighting was not good, even a bit rogue.

However, they did not violate any rules, so can they still be judged as losers?

The audience didn't care about all this, and they didn't want this despicable guy to win the championship of the martial arts competition from the bottom of their hearts.

When Allen and his sister came on stage, the audience applauded and cheered.

When it was the opposing player Sean's turn to play, the audience booed!

“This is what the people want!”

Kelly said to her brother with a smile.

Then he turned over and jumped off his brother's back.

"Alan, I'll leave that giant python to you."

"I'll take care of that despicable Sean myself!"

"Kelly, be careful of that boy's bow and arrow." Alan whispered to his sister, "I smell snake venom on him!"

"Well, I'll be more careful." Kelly answered while holding Leopard Head and skillfully rubbed her brother's back twice.

The referee blows the whistle and the competition begins!

As always, Sean hid behind the giant python and shot an arrow!

call out!

The arrow shot through the air!

Kelly remained calm, raised her hand and fired a "finger wave", accurately shooting down the arrow.

The body turned into a ball of silver mist and disappeared on the spot!

Phantom step!

With the careful instruction of her brother, Kelly has already mastered two second-level martial arts, "Phantom Step" and "Bone-Piercing Explosion"!

The Earl's family who were watching the game on the sidelines had different expressions when they saw this scene.

Count Lancer stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

The evaluation of the prospective son-in-law, which was originally not optimistic about, has changed greatly.

"Why didn't I realize before that Arthur is actually quite capable?"

Count Leon lost to his future brother-in-law in the last game and felt very embarrassed and unwilling to accept it.

At this moment, seeing his brother-in-law using the "Phantom Step", his expression became a little subtle.

It turned out that in the last competition, my brother-in-law didn't show his true skills.

From this perspective, it seems that my loss was not unfair.

The most excited one was Lily.

The Countess's eyes sparkled.

She stared at her fiancée with eyes full of affection.

It was not easy for her fiancé to get here, but she didn’t expect that he could bring her a bigger surprise!

Lily couldn't guess what other tricks her lover had hidden.

Among the elders, the Countess is the one who is most optimistic about her son-in-law.

The lady’s idea is very simple: as long as her daughter likes it.

Sean on the field didn't have time to shoot the second arrow.

When I found that my opponent had disappeared out of thin air, I realized that something was wrong!

He decisively threw away the longbow and drew the dagger from his waist!

Almost at the same time, silver mist emerged behind him.

A tall and agile figure walked out of the fog.

Sean quickly turned around and stabbed with his sword!

clang!

Kelly drew her sword, and was the first to arrive, blocking the dagger.

How could ordinary iron rival the refined silver sword given by the Countess?

The two men exerted force at the same time, and with a snap, the dagger broke!

Sean's forehead was covered with sweat.

Holding the broken sword, he turned around and ran wildly!

At the same time, he blew a whistle to call the python's servants to come and help.

The python responded to the call and tried to stop Kelly from going after her owner.

Just at this moment, a blue light suddenly appeared!

The speed of a leopard!

Hound pace!

The agile blue leopard blocked the giant python.

Emerald eyes, full of murderous intent!

The giant python was frightened by his momentum and looked hesitant.

However, the python soon realized that... the big blue cat opposite was seeking death!

In the world of wild beasts, size is king, and there is no reason for the python to be afraid of a blue leopard that is smaller than itself.

The giant python hissed, bared its fangs, and tried to bite off the blue leopard's neck!

Bang!

The leopard's claws hit the giant python's face hard, leaving three deep bloody marks.

The powerful force made it shake its head involuntarily.

The giant python shook its dizzy head, still unwilling to accept the defeat, and pounced on him again.

Snap! Snap!

Alan slapped him twice in a row with both hands.

The giant python shivered violently, shaking its head like a rattle.

On both sides of the cheeks, large pieces of flesh were torn off, leaving a bloody mess!

The giant python was stunned by the slap, and Alan pounced on it.

It opened its bloody mouth and bit the python's neck hard.

Hiss——

The giant python was so furious with pain that it wrapped around the blue leopard and strangled it tightly!

The blue leopard and the giant python are tightly entangled together.

Did the blue leopard bite the giant python to death first, or did the giant python strangle the blue leopard first?

The audience on the sidelines widened their eyes and held their breath nervously.

The giant python's physique is not much different from Allen's.

It was difficult for Alan to get rid of the entanglement in a short period of time.

Do you want to revert to your ancestral form and turn into a giant leopard?

This thought emerged in Alan's mind.

After reversion, the size doubles and the physique is strengthened by 4 points, making it easy to break free from the giant python's entanglement.

But Allen didn't want to show his cards so quickly.

After all, this is only the semi-finals.

Robert is waiting behind.

Allen didn't want to alert his title rivals.

Suddenly, I thought of another strategy to defeat the enemy.

The leopard's left front paw holds down the snake's body.

The fleshy pad on the palm of your hand pops out a bone spur!

puff!

The bone spurs, which were equivalent to first-level enchanted weapons, could easily pierce snake scales and penetrate deep into the flesh.

Alan contracts his venom glands.

Inject the strongest toxin into the giant python's body!

Level 6 blood toxin of the mutant flying dragon "Blue Devil"!

The python is, after all, just a reptile.

It has no fangs and no strong resistance to toxins.

A drop of level 6 toxin entering the blood circulation is enough to cause fatal poisoning to it!

Within seconds, the huge python became paralyzed and its muscles relaxed.

After Alan escaped, he bit the python hard and tore off its throat, thus ending the battle between the leopard and python!

…

The other side of the arena.

Kelly's fight with Sean is not as exciting and eye-catching as the leopard-python battle, but it is more dangerous!

After some chasing.

Kelly eventually corners her opponent.

"You have nowhere to escape, surrender!"

Kelly approaches Sean with sword in hand.

Sean dropped the broken sword in his hand and slowly raised his hands.
Just when Kelly and the referee thought he was going to surrender...

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Sean's face.

"My Lord Baron, your uncle, General Gondorff, allowed me to say hello to you."

"I wish you, your dead father, and your sister who died young, as a family, can be reunited in the underworld!"

Um?!

Kelly's face changed slightly, and she decisively swung her sword at Sean's throat!

Sean dodged sideways.

puff!

The sword tip pierced the tumor on the shoulder, but seemed to be blocked by something soft yet tough!

With the sword mark as the center, the tumor on Sean's shoulder suddenly exploded!

A bloody head popped out from it.

It looks like three parts human and seven parts snake!

The strange snake head, dragging its slender neck, extended from Sean's right shoulder and bit Kelly's sword-holding arm fiercely!

Snap!

The fangs of the strange snake are long, slender and curved.

It penetrated the leather at the junction of the shoulder armor and the arm armor, stabbed into Kelly's arm, and injected venom madly!

"Disgusting monster! Die!"

Kelly swung her sword in pain.

Swish!

Sean's head fell off!

The broken neck was gushing with blood, but the body remained standing!

The snake head that hatched from the tumor replaced the human head and continued his life.

This two-headed monster was even hissing and laughing!

"Young Master... General Gondorff, greetings to you..."

"Hiss...Enjoy...my poison..."

"My uncle has the same bad taste as always in hiring a weird assassin like you!"

Kelly's right arm had been paralyzed by the poison, and she was unable to swing the sword. She supported herself with her left arm and grabbed the slippery snake's head.

“Hiss… Young Master, do you still want to struggle?”

The two-headed monster murmured contemptuously.

"You can't kill me with your sword...hiss...what can you do to me with your bare hands?!"

"Ugly ghost! Shut up!"

Kelly looked murderous with a frown on her face.

The left hand frantically gathered magic power and suddenly exerted force!

Exploding Palm!!

boom!

A roar shook the arena.

The monster's second head was smashed to pieces by Kelly's palm!

The headless corpse fell backwards due to the impact of the explosion.

Blood-red mist filled the air.

Alan rushed to his sister's side as fast as lightning.

Kelly let out a slow breath.

His right arm, paralyzed by the poison, hung limply in front of his brother.

He freed his left hand and caressed the blue leopard's smooth fur, sighing and blaming himself:

"Alan, I'm sorry... I was careless and got tricked by that two-headed monster..."

Alan shook his head and raised his left front paw to hold down his sister's injured arm.

The bone spur quietly pierced into her arm, drawing out the toxins from her body.

It’s just level 3 snake venom, a piece of cake.

The toxin left her body and Kelly regained sensation in her right arm.

At this moment, my fiancée's anxious greetings came to my mind.

"Arthur! Are you okay?"

"I was ambushed by Sean and got poisoned by the snake. Fortunately, I was more skilled and took the antidote in advance."

Kelly made up the story without blushing or getting nervous.

"That's good!"

In the box, the Countess, who was so nervous that her palms were sweating, finally felt relieved.

Suddenly, a cunning gleam appeared in Lily's eyes.

"Arthur, listen to me!"

The Countess continued to have secret spiritual communication with her lover through the magic ring.

"You are pretending to be in pain, as if your right arm is useless!"

"Don't let Robert see that the poison has been cured!"

"In tomorrow's final, your opponent will be Robert!"

"Given Robert's personality, seeing that your right arm is injured and cannot be healed in a short time, he will definitely think of underestimating the enemy!"

"Arthur, act more convincingly. This will be of great benefit to your decisive battle tomorrow!"

Kelly understood.

He covered his right arm with his left hand and squeezed it hard, and blood gushed out through the gaps between his fingers.

He staggered with each step, and managed to walk to the sidelines.

As soon as the referee announced her victory, she collapsed to the ground and looked like she was about to die.

"Humph! That useless Sean is so slow at work!"

Robert sneered and turned away.

The assassin sent by Gondorff did not succeed completely, but for him, it was enough.

Robert would rather Arthur wasn't hurt too badly.

Otherwise, this coward would have an excuse to withdraw from the competition.

Wouldn't I have missed a great opportunity to kill my love rival?

"Someone come here!"

The young master of the Lang family called the guards and ordered proudly:

"Go and give Baron Mulan a bottle of medicine!"

"Pass on my command: Tomorrow's battle will decide the winner!"

"Miss Lily will marry the one of us who survives!"

…

The next day.

The martial arts competition is about to have its final decisive battle.

After going through rounds of elimination, two people finally made it to the finals.

Robert the Dark Wolf riding a winter wolf.

And, Baron Arthur of Magnolia riding a blue panther.

Compared to Robert, who is in high spirits and in great shape.

Kelly, pretending to be Arthur, looked particularly pale.

His right arm was wrapped in thick bandages and the entire arm was almost unable to move.

Everyone can see that Baron Mulan is in great danger!

Before the finals began, Kelly's future father-in-law finally had a little conscience.

He specially called Kelly over and expressed his satisfaction with his future son-in-law's performance in the previous four games.

"Arthur, what I mean is...it's not easy for you to make it to the finals."

"Since your right arm is injured and you can't hold the sword, it's understandable that you'd give up the final fight."

"Lily and I will never look down on you for this."

"Kid, do you understand what I mean?"

Kelly understood the Earl's subtext.

Count Lancer has given up the idea of ​​breaking off the engagement.

Now, he would rather Arthur be more rational and retreat when he sees difficulty.

Only a living Arthur could marry his daughter.

"Sir! I am very grateful for your kindness, but as a man, there are always some battles that cannot be avoided!"

Kelly looked solemn and spoke passionately.

The Earl was slightly stunned, and his face darkened: "Child! Being too brave will turn into recklessness! This is not smart!"

"Father!" Lily came over, hugged her father's arms, and said quietly, "Just let Arthur go."

"Silly boy, he will die! Doing this is irresponsible to your fiancée!" The Earl shook his head and sighed, "It seems that Arthur is still not mature enough! Otherwise, he shouldn't act on impulse!"

"Father, Arthur is first and foremost a knight who values ​​honor over life, and then my fiancé."

"If a knight puts his own safety and the concerns of his family above honor, can he still be considered a true knight?"

The earl was speechless at his daughter's questioning.

He couldn't tell his daughter and son-in-law in front of so many people: "Honor is more important than life". He was just talking big.

It's fine to just talk about it, but it's foolish to really put it into practice.

…

Kelly rode on the blue leopard and entered the arena.

Robert on the opposite side was wearing a black helmet and black armor, with a broadsword slung across his back.

The murderous look in his eyes seemed to have substance.

The referee blows the whistle and the final battle begins!

Robert drew the greatsword from his back and pointed it at his rival.

"Arthur! Your time of death has come!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung the sword in the air, and the sword whistled through the wind!

First-level martial arts—a flash of sword energy!

Kelly had a blank expression on her face. She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.

Bang!

Finger wave!

The two forces collided in the air, making a loud bang.

The dust was stirred up and the arena was in chaos.

Through the curtain of smoke and dust, Alan saw Robert riding a winter wolf and rushing towards him with a greatsword raised high.

He quickly let out a low growl to alert his sister on his back.

Kelly drew her sword with her left hand in a slightly awkward manner and prepared herself for battle.

The winter wolf, as strong as a white bear, had already rushed within ten meters.

Suddenly he opened his mouth and blew out a ball of pale cold air!

Before the brother and sister went into battle, they took the magic potion given by the Countess.

The cold current sweeping towards them was blocked by the "anti-cold barrier".

Allen's physical attribute is as high as 28 points.

The stronger your physique, the better the effect of the "Cold Resistance Barrier" will be.

The cold current invaded the body, leaving only a thin layer of white frost on the shiny blue fur.

Like the breath exhaled on a winter morning.

The slight chill on the body surface disappeared in an instant.

Blue Leopard used his strong body to block most of the cold current for his sister.

The slight aftermath of the cold wave did not pose much of a threat to Kelly.

Her eyes were fixed on Robert on the wolf's back.

When you notice your opponent swinging his sword downward, block it with your sword horizontally.

clang!

The two swords collided, and bright sparks burst out.

The next second, Mars was swallowed up by the sudden outpouring of darkness!

Robert hated his love rival so much that he used his signature skill "Dark Sword" right away!

The greatsword filled with magic power opened a dark barrier with a radius of ten meters.

A veil of darkness created by magic, blocking out all sources of natural light.

The scorching sun hanging high above the arena and the sparks from the collision of weapons were all swallowed up by the thick darkness!

The beastman's "dark vision" is only effective against naturally formed darkness and cannot see through dark barriers generated by magic.

In an instant, Alan and Kelly were both stunned!

Robert on the opposite side cast the 2nd level spell "Devil's Eye" in advance, so his vision was not hindered by the dark barrier.

He continued to swing his sword, launching a wild attack on Kelly.

Kelly remained calm, listened to the wind and determined the position, blocking the big sword.

Robert's continuous attacks were all blocked by Kelly.

Seeing that his opponent was making up for his visual deficiencies with his keen hearing, he snorted and pulled hard on the reins.

The winter wolf understood its master's intention, stretched its neck and howled loudly!

The incessant howling of wolves drowned out the sound of the sharp blade breaking through the wind.

Kelly's hearing was impaired and her defensive posture was exposed.

Robert seized the opportunity and swung his sword with all his might!

The opponent had no time to react and was about to be killed on the spot.

Blue Leopard suddenly moved sideways, causing his sword, which was about to take advantage of the opportunity, to deviate from the planned trajectory.

clang!

Kelly hurriedly swung her sword and blocked Robert's sword.

In the wrestling match between the two sides, she was clearly at a disadvantage.

The heavy sword continued to press down.

The sword tip was only half a foot away from her forehead.

Kelly gritted her teeth and held on, decisively turning into her ancestral form!

Leopard man bloodline, first-level atavism, only improves physical attributes a little.

As for the increase in strength, it is better than nothing.

Robert's devilish eyes flashed red.

Seeing his opponent transformed into a human body with a leopard head, he couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems you have been pushed to your limit."

"Then I'll be a little more serious!"

Second level atavism, werewolf form!

Thick black bristles sprouted from Robert's face.

The fangs and teeth are extremely ferocious!

Werewolves revert to their ancestral form, with average improvements to their physique and agility.

The agility bonus is not as good as that of the Leopard Man, but the physique is far superior.

What's more, Robert activated the second-level atavism!

A first-order atavism that is superior to Kelly in every way.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Kelly couldn't hold on any longer!

He had no choice but to jump off his mount.

"You're useless! You can't escape!"

The werewolf Robert roared like a wild beast.

He was about to urge his mount to catch up and kill his rival with one sword.

At the critical moment, the winter wolf under his crotch suddenly staggered and almost threw him off the wolf's back!

Um?!

Robert's heart trembled, and he quickly looked down.

Shocking discovery...

A huge blue leopard paw was placed upright on the winter wolf's forehead.

The winter wolf felt as if a mountain was pressing down on its head.

He slammed his head against the ground, his face buried deep in the dirt.

The two wolf claws struggled desperately as if they were drowning.

The dirt flew up in the air, but the leopard's claws could not be used to break free.

The sharp leopard claws had already pierced into the winter wolf's skull.

Blood continuously seeped out from the gaps between the blue leopard's claws, accompanied by a bone-chilling sound of cracking.

"Damn beast!"

Robert cursed and raised his sword, trying to chop the blue leopard to free his mount.

Just at this moment, Blue Leopard looked up.

The green eyes and cold gaze made Robert shudder.

The arm holding the sword froze in mid-air.

An intense feeling of fear was gnawing at his heart.

His animal blood gave him the survival instincts of wild beasts.

His intuition told him that this blue leopard was very scary!

Unless you are tired of living, it’s best not to mess with it!

Robert gritted his teeth and finally obeyed his instinct.

He hurriedly jumped off the winter wolf's back and chased his rival with a sword in hand.

As he moved away from the blue leopard, the frightening warning signs gradually subsided.

Robert could no longer care about the howling of the winter wolf behind him.

His opponent is Arthur!

As long as Arthur is killed, the duel will be over.

Snap!

Alan used his claws to crush the winter wolf's head.

White-hot brain matter spurted out.

The wolf corpse under the claws was still twitching slightly.

Alan wiped his paws on the winter wolf's smooth white fur.

She turned around and walked towards her sister with a nimble and graceful cat-like step.

If he wanted to, he could easily kill Robert with a little more effort.

But he didn't want to.

How can my sister grow if she has to do everything by herself?

clang!

Robert swung the sword with both hands and slashed hard at Kelly's silver sword.

This time, Kelly, who was holding the sword with one hand, finally couldn't block it.

The silver sword flew out of his hand and stuck diagonally into the ground.

“Die!!”

Robert roared with ecstasy and swung his sword across.

The speed of a leopard!

Hound pace!

Kelly did not retreat but rushed towards Robert!

The distance between the two sides was instantly shortened to within one meter.

At such a close distance, Robert couldn't use his two-meter-long sword.

Close combat is Kelly's only chance to turn defeat into victory!

"Idiot!" Young Master Lang suddenly laughed out loud, "Do you think this is the only sword I have?!"

A poisoned dagger suddenly popped out from the left sleeve!

It looked as if Kelly had taken the initiative to run towards the dagger.

A smile appeared in Kelly's emerald eyes.

The right arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages and had not moved during the entire duel, was suddenly raised and placed horizontally in front of him!

clang!

Robert stabbed Kelly's right arm on the outside with a dagger in his left hand.

There was a sudden sound of metal clashing.

The bandage was cut off by the dagger, revealing the silver arm armor!

This is part of the enchanted armor given by the Countess.

Kelly's right arm seemed to be covered with a cumbersome layer of plaster.

In fact, it was an arm armor covered by bandages!

Robert's pupils suddenly contracted!

It was not until this moment that he realized that his opponent's right arm was not injured.

Pretending to be seriously injured is clearly a trick!

"Oops! I was careless!!"

Robert felt a chill in his heart.

The next second, Kelly had pushed away the dagger and approached him.

He reached forward with his left hand and pressed it against Robert's heart.

Don't panic!!

Robert roared in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

How could Arthur, with his bare hands, hurt me who was wearing heavy armor?

As long as we can get through this level, victory will be within our grasp!

"Idiot! Are you still harboring delusions?"

Kelly curled up the corner of her lips in a sneer, and poured magic power into her left palm crazily.

"Sorry, you're already dead!"

Bone blasting!!

boom!!

The energy is surging and thunder is exploding!

Robert was thrown into the air like a rag doll being hit by a baseball bat.

The broken breastplate pierced deeply into his chest, injuring his lungs.

Robert used up his last bit of strength to barely hold up his upper body, but fell back again.

The face was distorted with pain.

Bloody foam flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Alan stretched out his leopard tail and wrapped it around the silver sword that was inserted diagonally into the ground.

With a flick of his tail, the silver sword flew towards his sister.

Kelly raised her hand to take the sword and strode towards Robert.

There was a mocking smile on the corner of his lips.

"Lily will marry the one of us who survives?"

"Robert, you are such a great prophet!"

Swish!

A flash of sword!

Young Master of the Lang family, behead him.

…

Underground meditation room.

Alan and his sister finished their meditation at the same time.

Kelly successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the late first stage!

Allen and his sister maintain a spiritual connection.

Through the system, check your sister’s growth after upgrading.

Kelly's physique and agility increased by 1 point each.

Alan remembered that the last time his sister upgraded, her agility and spirit were improved.

It seems that when a Leopard Warlock levels up, his agility is always improved, while his physique and spirit are improved in turn.

Kelly also awakened a magic.

The first-level "Magic Fang" can temporarily enhance the first-level enchantment effects of natural weapons such as fists, feet, claws, horns, etc.

Unlike her brother, Kelly has an enchanted bone spur that makes it difficult to break through the defense of enemies who are proficient in physical training.

This problem would not exist if she learned the "Demon Fang Technique". It was still very practical for her current level.

"Alan, I advanced!"

There is no need to say polite words between siblings.

Kelly gave her brother a kiss on the cheek to express her gratitude.

After calming down her excitement, Kelly asked with concern:

"Alan, how are you doing? Have you made the breakthrough to the third level?"

"Just a little bit more." Allen answered thoughtfully, "One more meditation and I should be able to break through."

"What a coincidence! An Qi is upstairs. I'll call her over!"

"Next, let her take over from me and help you break through!"

Kelly stood up with a smile and ran out in a hurry.

Soon, An Qi opened the door and came in.

She narrowed her beautiful cat eyes, adjusted herself to the dim light in the secret room, and called softly, "Brother, I'm here~"

"Junior sister, come and sit down." Alan waved to An Qi.

An Qi trotted over and sat down opposite him meekly.

There was a mixture of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.
