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 strong person at the fifth level."
"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 and 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 as if she were looking at 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, the seats were packed, and the auditorium that could hold 30,000 spectators was 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 strong by the weak, it should be okay this time."
"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 senior members 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 practical to fight in the air.
Fiona on the opposite side didn't panic and jumped up from the unicorn's back to face Tina.
And she also kept in mind what she had said to Su Yu, and did not use all her strength at the beginning. Instead, she fought with Tina in a sparring manner, trying to prolong the fight as long as possible.
Tina was neither arrogant nor arrogant. She used Fiona as a whetstone and worked hard to hone her fighting skills.
Two fifth-level powerhouses fought together in the sky of the duel field.
The space around them continued to vibrate, and the protective shield covering the sky also made creaking and rubbing sounds.
However, the two of them fought in an extremely controlled manner, with their long swords and one-handed swords constantly clashing, completely treating this as a sparring match.
The two unicorns below had nothing to do and stayed where they were with big eyes and small eyes. In the end, there was really nothing to do, and they even slowly walked to the edge of the duel arena and ate weeds leisurely.
Tina and Fiona fought back and forth for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, the duel was decided: Fiona was too exhausted to fight anymore, and the final winner was Tina, who still had some energy left.
The referee finally announced: Tina wins!
Seeing Tina's victory, bursts of cheers erupted in the stands again.
But the cheers were not very enthusiastic.
The cheers were also mixed with some discussions:
"Although this battle is more advanced, it is not as exciting as last time."
"Indeed, both sides fought in a controlled manner, unlike last time when they were fighting with their lives."
"But Tina is indeed better. She is worthy of being chosen by the patron saint!"
The fact that Tina was chosen by the patron saint has gradually spread, and now basically everyone in the city knows about it.
The Unicorn Knights and the Legion's top brass were in the stands.
After seeing Tina's true strength, the knights and the top brass of the legion recognized the legion leader more highly.
Regardless of whether Fiona shows mercy or not, judging from Tina's current fighting ability, Tina is indeed qualified to become a legion leader.
The knights and senior officials stood up in unison and applauded Tina.
……
Facing the cheers and applause from all around, Tina did not respond, nor did she leave in a hurry.
She first stood there and took a breath, then took out a stack of letters from her arms, her little face becoming extremely serious.
