Arthur began to chant.
The Excalibur's blade instantly lit up with a brilliant golden halo.
"This battle is a battle against one stronger than oneself!"
A faerie-like voice responded.
[----Acknowledged.]
"This battle is not a battle that forsakes humanity!"
[----Acknowledged.]
"This battle is not a battle against faeries!"
[----Acknowledged.]
"This battle is a fair battle!"
[----Acknowledged.]
"This battle is not fought for selfish desires!"
[...]
The faerie's programmed voice seemed to pause.
Is... is that right?
Arthur: Yes, yes.
[...Acknowledged.]
Under Arthur's dictatorship, the release proceeded smoothly.
He continued to chant until seven restraints were released.
Although the Excalibur has thirteen restraints.
In reality, as long as seven restraints are released, the holy sword's full power can be unleashed.
The blade began to emit a sky-shaking hum, the golden light growing more brilliant until it turned into a massive pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, while Arthur's figure was illuminated like a Divinity.
The clouds in the sky were stirred into a violent roll by this power.
Qian Wu had long since been dazed; realizing he was waiting for death, he was in extreme agony at this moment.
Seeing that Arthur was about to swing the sword, he was almost scared to tears.
"Ex...calibur!"
With a clear shout piercing the sky, Arthur swung the sword forward.
The holy sword erupted with a world-destroying golden beam, like the breath of a star!
The Light Cannon was like a surging torrent of stars, carrying sacred power as it blasted directly toward Qian Wu.
The phantom of the Behemoth Spirit emitted a shrill wail the moment the beam touched it, instantly dimming and returning to Qian Wu's body.
Qian Wu's eyes widened, the golden patterns on his Battle Armor flashing violently in the holy radiance as if they would collapse at any moment.
He channeled his Soul Power to resist with all his might, only to find himself pinned down by the beam's power, unable to move even a fingertip, forced to watch as the golden torrent swallowed him.
"Grandma..."
At that moment, Qian Wu seemed to see his long-deceased grandmother waving at him... Seeing that the Light Cannon was about to hit the spectator stands, it was unknown if the Soul Guidance Barrier there could hold.
However, the well-prepared Agravaine instantly arrived between the two, dissipating the aftershocks of the released holy sword.
Ya Li first stared blankly at the beam of light.
It wasn't until she saw Qian Wu, who looked a little bit dead, that she realized she should save him first.
Her figure flashed, taking Qian Wu away from the beam.
Agravaine directed the excess energy toward the sky.
The clouds in the sky were completely torn apart, the golden beam penetrating the heavens and leaving a long-lasting sacred trail of light on the firmament.
The audience around the arena was already dazed, and the originally noisy stands were silent.
All that remained was the resonance after the beam's roar and the sound of hurried breathing.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others gaped, their eyes filled with shock. Xie Xie murmured, "This... this is too ridiculous!"
Gu Yue, who hadn't taken the field, watched this scene from the shadows, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Inside the box, Mu Ye's breathing was rapid; he finally knew why Agravaine was so worried.
This power... the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Moreover, Arthur was no longer just standing out; he was practically a unique, towering giant tree.
No, call for backup!
Call for backup quickly!
Mu Ye hurriedly pulled out his soul guidance communication device and scrambled to dial.
Si Shou, hurry up!
Cai Yueer regained her senses a step slower than Ya Li. She stood up abruptly, her previous composure completely gone, replaced only by unbelievable horror: "This is impossible! How can a Spirit Elder possess such power?!"
"It's absolutely impossible!"
"That kid definitely has a problem!"
...Ya Li placed Qian Wu in a safe area, a pale green life halo glowing in her palm as it landed on his chest.
Seeing that his breath was weak but his life was not in immediate danger, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned her head toward the center of the stage, her dark green eyes full of solemnity and curiosity: "This sacred power... what exactly is this child's Martial Soul..."
Arthur leaned on the holy sword, his legs trembling slightly and his face as pale as paper.
Releasing seven restraints was extremely taxing for him as a Spirit Elder; his Soul Power was completely depleted.
Not a single drop was left.
Na'er didn't have the slightest look of worry; instead, she was overjoyed.
She quickly ran to his side, her small hands firmly supporting his arm. She wanted to appear worried, but she couldn't stop smiling: "Brother Arthur, are you okay?"
"I'm not okay," Arthur's voice was weak. "Slow... slower, hold me."
So many people were watching.
Arthur definitely wanted to stand tall and thoroughly enjoy the victory.
"Oh?" Na'er tilted her head and blinked her large purple eyes.
This was truly a god-given opportunity; she had finally waited long enough.
Arthur had no power to resist.
The hand holding Arthur exerted force in secret.
The control of the force was extremely precise.
Arthur's body suddenly went limp, and he slumped onto Na'er.
"You?" Arthur looked at Na'er with a terrified expression; he had a bad premonition.
"No, don't move!"
"I don't want you to support me anymore."
Sticking out her tongue, Na'er giggled and pulled Arthur into her embrace.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even Arthur couldn't bear this shameful posture.
"How bold!" Arthur was furious: "Rebellious subject, are you going to revolt?!"
The usually well-behaved Na'er now revealed her long-hidden fangs.
Truly treasonous.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xie Xie slapped his thigh and said, "I knew it! Sister Na'er only acts well-behaved normally; she's definitely black-hearted on the inside!"
Catching a glimpse of Ye Xinglan and the others who were still dazed on the stage, Arthur's eyes lit up: "Let me down, the match isn't over yet."
"I still want to fight again."
"No, it's over." Na'er gave a casual shake, subtly shaking away the tiny bit of strength Arthur had just recovered.
Then she looked at the remaining few people on the opposite side with an unfriendly gaze... Although Ye Xinglan and the others were still on the stage, they had long since lost any Battle Intent.
"Shrek Academy surrenders!" Ya Li's voice was cold and firm, piercing through the arena and clearly reaching the referee's ears.
The referee was stunned for a moment, then reacted, quickly raising his right hand and announcing with all his might:
"The match is over!"
"Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, Junior Division Seven-Man Team Competition."
"The champion is, East Sea Academy!"
As the words fell, the arena instantly erupted with earth-shaking cheers and applause!
The audience was completely boiling; some waved their arms, some stood up and roared. The awe from being shocked by the release of the holy sword earlier now turned entirely into a fanatical pursuit of Arthur.
"Arthur! Arthur!"
"A Spirit Elder taking down a Battle Armor Master, this is a true Genius!"
Ye Xinglan and the others felt as if they had been granted a grand amnesty, walking off the stage with pale faces, their eyes looking at Arthur filled with complexity. There was shock, there was fear... The members of Class Zero gathered together to enjoy the victory.
Someone from the organizers was responsible for taking photos of the champions.
They all took their positions.
Tang Wulin and the others posed with the trophy. Gu Yue also came up and stood quietly with them.
Na'er didn't look at the trophy at all, she just kept holding Arthur with a giggle on her face.
Arthur struggled.
"No, don't take it, don't take the photo now!"
