The scene was unusual, but not quite astonishing. However, this sea area was truly ethereal.
So much so that even a tiny bit of light illuminated the entire sea, making it sparkle like a vast galaxy, and the ferry seemed like a starship sailing in the sky.
Upon seeing such beautiful scenery, everyone exclaimed that the trip was well worth it.
Soon, the ferry left the area and entered a completely dark sea, ending the sightseeing tour.
Luo Xiu saw geniuses from other cities emerge from the crowd and begin whispering among themselves. As they discussed, they frequently glanced in Luo Xiu's direction.
Luo Xiu frowned.
It's easy to imagine that a certain prince was not satisfied and wanted to get revenge.
He sighed deeply, somewhat helplessly, realizing that a peaceful trip seemed unlikely.
Sure enough, soon after, a seeded player from a western city arrived and invited Luo Xiu and his group to participate in a friendly sparring match between seeded players.
"It was just a friendly sparring match, we stopped when we were done, after all, the strongest person in our city didn't even get on the ferry."
The seeded player adopted a humble attitude and explained that this is a tradition of every Golden Apple Garden, where cities compete against each other multiple times before the garden opens to gain an understanding of each other's strengths.
After all, the greatest danger in the Golden Apple Garden is not the internal struggles between the seeded players, but the mysterious and unpredictable entities within the Golden Apple Garden, like demons.
Kanriel and the others looked at Luo Xiu, wanting to see what he thought, since Luo Xiu was the leader this time.
Luo Xiu saw the eagerness in everyone's eyes and knew that they were all holding back their ambitions, so he nodded:
"Sure, give it a try."
Even if it doesn't stop there, it doesn't matter; I can just cast a healing spell.
Soon, everyone on deck gathered at the stern, where there was a specially reinforced area where the ferry's crew used for daily sparring and to deal with sudden monster attacks.
The deepest part of Luowanghai is unfathomable, and it is impossible to guard against everything. It is not uncommon for monsters to leap over the defenses and sneak in.
Soon, the competition began. The first to take the stage were the seeded player who had just invited Luo Xiu and the others, and a seeded player from Gogol.
The duel wasn't very intense; both sides held back and stopped short of each other. But Luo Xiu witnessed a completely new profession: the winemaker.
The Gogol's top contender's main offensive tactic was surprisingly drinking alcohol. He carried his own homemade liquor with him, which not only healed him but also enhanced his physique and strength, turning his entire body red, causing him to sweat profusely, and making him incredibly strong.
This reminded Luo Xiu of alchemists, and he felt that the two were similar in spirit.
Then, everyone took turns to appear, inviting each other to engage in round after round of duels.
But coincidentally, no one invited Kanril's seeded players.
This situation made the people of Kanriel look rather grim. If being isolated earlier could be seen as Kanriel and other cities not getting along, being isolated now was like being put on the hot seat of danger.
This means that no city is giving Cunlil any face.
On the capital side, the sixth prince stood in front of the crowd, watching this scene with a smile on his lips. Clearly, this was at his behest.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu patted Tassanya on the shoulder. Tassanya understood immediately and, after a duel, took the initiative to walk up to the seeded players of a northern city called Luobai and invited them to the dueling stage.
The seeded player over there was about to refuse, but Tassanya grinned:
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm here to challenge the strongest person in your area. If you're unwilling to do so, it only means you're afraid of a fight."
These words infuriated the top contenders in the city of Robaja. Finally, a muscular, short-haired man stepped forward. He was broad-shouldered and looked even taller than Tassanya.
"Don't let me beat you so badly you wet your pants later."
The short-haired man had a fierce smile and clenched his fists.
Tassanya grinned and said nothing more, but the Kanriel group clearly saw her right fist clench, a sign that the mother dragon was about to become angry.
Soon, the duel began under the pitying gaze of the people of Kanriel. A few seconds later, the short-haired man, his eyes glazed over, was carried out of the dueling area by the people of his city, his limbs limp.
Tassanya adhered to the rule of stopping short of a fight, but the strength she displayed was astonishing. She only used less than a third of her dragon form, but it was a complete rout. The short-haired man, who was at the fourth rank, didn't even have the power to fight back and was almost beaten to the point of wetting his pants.
Next, Tassanya, like the King of Hell calling out to his men, went to one city after another, summoning the strongest seeded players on the ship in each city, and utterly crushing them all.
She seemed to have dampened the atmosphere on the entire deck. Apart from the cheers and applause from the Kanriel team, the seeded players from other cities seemed to be dead.
They had already realized that the dragonblood before them was undoubtedly the strongest in Kanriel, while most of the strongest people in their city were not on the ship, and they could only watch helplessly as Tassanya won city after city.
The smugness I felt just from isolating Kanriel and laughing at him has completely vanished.
As the battle drew to a close, Tassanya laughed on the dueling platform:
"So the reason you didn't invite us earlier was because you knew you weren't strong enough."
These words made the people in other cities even more aggrieved. They looked at Tassanya's arrogant appearance, but they couldn't beat him, so they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
Just then, a light and melodious voice rang out:
"I'll fight you."
coming.
Tassanya's lips curled up slightly as she looked towards the direction of the royal capital, where Liss had stepped forward.
Chapter 220 The Second Battle Between Liss and Tassanya
The red skirt fluttered on the deck in the gentle sea breeze, like a blooming rose.
Lis stepped out from the crowd on one side of the capital and looked at Tassanya with a calm expression:
“I’ll fight you, Tassanya.”
Tasanya, this dragonblood is named Tasanya?
Everyone was surprised, not expecting that Lis would know this dragonblood from Kanriel.
Liss is a rising star in the royal capital, hailed as one of the successors to the next generation of mages. She has risen rapidly in the royal capital with her all-around magic skills and has gained the recognition of a contemporary sixth-tier mage.
Unexpectedly, she recognized the dragon bloodline in front of her.
"So it really was Tassanya..."
Someone murmured something, and it was a seeded player from Bandanda, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
With his explanation, everyone understood everything. The dragonblood in front of them had actually come from Bandanda, but it was rumored that she died in a slime siege. Unexpectedly, she not only survived, but also went to Kanriel and became a seeded player.
This explains it, because Lis also went to the capital from Bandanda. Although she herself was reluctant to mention it, such things are public knowledge and not difficult to investigate.
"This mother dragon is in trouble. It is said that our Bandanda's Great Prophet, who is leading the team this time, has been searching for people involved in the last slime siege, commissioned by Earl Larry."
A seeded player from Bandanda revealed a secret, and whispered the following:
"Count Larry is reportedly in very poor condition, but he hasn't given up on finding the murderer of his son..."
"In any case, with Lady Liss's intervention, this mother dragon can no longer be so arrogant."
Someone spoke up, expressing everyone's thoughts: no one believed that Tassanya could beat Liss, even though she had just crushed a group of seeded players on the ship. They had all witnessed the strength of the seeded players from the capital.
Almost every one of the top seeded players who went to their city crushed the city's geniuses and became the team leader of the Golden Apple Garden.
In fact, they were all puzzled because they didn't seem to see any of the capital's top players among the people from Kanriel this time.
"Lady Lis is so beautiful, like a bottle of fine wine that has been quietly catalyzed in the tranquil cellar of time, and has been brewed to perfection."
A Gogol bard praised her thus, and the crowd agreed. But soon, their expressions changed, for Tassanya grinned and looked at Liss:
"Haven't you learned your lesson after losing to me last time, Liz?"
Did Liss ever lose to Tassanya?
Everyone was shocked, initially thinking Tassanya was just spouting nonsense, but to their surprise, Liss calmly spoke up:
"It's been so long since the last time. Now, I have been reborn in the capital."
It's true! Liz admitted it!
No one expected to hear such astonishing news upon boarding the ferry.
The peerless genius Lis, [NO.16, the learned pioneer], actually lost to someone who failed to enter the royal capital's seed sequence in Bandanda.
"newborn?"
Tassanya seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed:
Have you ever witnessed what true rebirth is?
"It's no use talking more."
In Liss's right hand, a staff with an ancient and elegant design appeared.
The staff was surrounded by layers of energy-gathering arrays. At the end of the staff was a purple crystal identical to the one on Liss's chest. It seemed to be some kind of extremely rare material. As soon as it appeared, it caused a huge vortex of magic power, which slowly swirled and reversed in mid-air, causing the sky above the sea to change color instantly.
The sixth prince, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this scene. He had thought that Lis would easily defeat Tassanya when she entered the arena, but he did not expect that Lis would directly take out the fifth-tier weapon given to her by that being, which meant that Lis was serious.
He didn't know what grudge Liss and Tassanya had, and Liss had never mentioned it.
But Liz's actions suggest either a deep-seated grudge between the two, or that Liz is also wary of Tassanya's strength.
Tassanya looked at the surging sea and the ever-changing clouds in the sky, and grinned:
“You went all out, Liz, so I can’t hold back.”
With a deafening roar, the ever-changing clouds in the sky were pierced through, and a "dragon" appeared on the deck, much to everyone's astonishment.
At this moment, Tassanya, apart from still having a somewhat human-like body, completely resembled a dragon.
The casual breath seemed to carry scorching flames, and the huge claws lightly swept through the air, creating sharp edges that instantly piled up and scattered like turbulent currents. Some seeded players who couldn't dodge in time had their clothes torn open, and blood trickled out.
"Lise, come see my new student."
Tassanya's voice echoed in the air like the roars of a thousand dragons overlapping.
This scene stunned everyone; even the Sixth Prince couldn't contain himself and blurted out in shock:
"This is impossible!!"
His eyes widened as if he had seen the most impossible thing in the world, because he knew clearly the origin of these dragon blood descendants. They were all the lowest bloodlines in that country, the inferior products that had been eliminated. Let alone becoming a dragon, it was absolutely impossible for them to even grow a body of dragon scales.
When Liz saw Tassanya's appearance, she took a deep breath. Her gaze did not linger on Tassanya, but instead fell on a tall figure standing behind Tassanya.
Luo Xiu.
She knew that if she wanted to find a reasonable explanation for Tassanya's change, the only possibility was this smiling man.
Luo Xiu looked at Tassanya with a smile on his lips, seemingly unaware that Liss was watching him.
Scenes from the past flashed through Liz's mind, finally settling on the image of her being tied up in a burlap sack in front of the Knights of Wheel Town.
