Chapter 52: The Princess of the Blazing Flame

“Since that’s the case, let’s start the team entry test directly with one-on-one battles.”

Heles announced.

She whispered beside Michelle, “Our Michelle really knows how to attract attention; these two are both here for you.”

Locke’s small eyes couldn’t hide from her gaze, and she naturally guessed his thoughts.

Michelle’s face turned slightly red, “I’m not, I have nothing to do with them.”

After saying that, her eyes unconsciously looked towards Leo.

“I understand!”

Heles showed an interested smile, looking forward to the show.

Her eyes darted among the crowd, “Let me think about how to assign opponents. How about Leo vs. Locke, and Yuris vs. Krista?”

“This guy is too weak; he’s not my opponent.”

Leo pointed at Locke with disdain.

“I don’t stoop to fighting girls.”

Yuris said proudly.

“I’m not interested in fighting you; who do you think you are? Just because you killed a young dragon? I can kill more.”

Hearing Yuris say this, Krista immediately became dissatisfied.

This despicable guy actually dared to look down on her.

“Wait a minute.”

Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, Locke felt a bit uncomfortable, “I didn’t hear anything about an entry test.”

He was somewhat worried; whether it was Yuris or Leo, he was not their match.

Leo was okay, not too overbearing, but Yuris was a famous dragon slayer; how could he possibly be a match?

“This is our team’s rule. Although our team isn’t particularly strong, not just anyone can join casually, especially since you are newcomers. If you’re unwilling, you can just withdraw.”

Nathan’s expression was serious, displaying the authority of a captain.

Locke had no choice but to agree.

“Hmph! As a boy, you’re too weak.”

Krista said disdainfully.

“Then it’s settled. Leo and Krista will battle, and Yuris and Locke will battle. You’re all newcomers, so don’t hold back. We will decide whether to let you join based on your performance.” Nathan arranged.

Everyone agreed, and Locke opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he closed it again.

It was almost impossible for him to defeat Yuris, but if he performed well, there might still be a chance.

Thinking of his talent in magic sword techniques, perhaps he could attract their attention and pass the test.

“Yuris, let’s make a bet to see who can end the battle in three moves.”

Leo said beside Yuris, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

“Wha… what?!”

Krista was shocked; being looked down upon to this extent was enough to make her angry, but she just thought this person was a bit foolish.

“Three moves? No, I can end it in one move.”

Yuris was very confident.

“Be careful not to capsize; I’m in the same class as him. That guy is very strong, ranking among the top in the class. His magic sword technique is indeed very talented; the teacher even said his talent is comparable to yours, and that guy always has unexpected things happen around him.”

Leo whispered a reminder in his ear, warning him that Locke was not an easy opponent and that he should give it his all from the start.

“Comparable to my talent?”

Yuris’s fighting spirit surged; if even Leo acknowledged him, he must be a strong enemy, “I’m looking forward to it!”

Leo smiled, the problem was solved; he didn’t believe Yuris would be able to last even a round against Locke when he was giving it his all.

Locke felt a bit angry; to claim he could end it in one move and look down on him to this extent made even him feel upset.

The group went outside and found a sparsely populated area.

Yuris and Locke faced each other.

The others watched from the side, and Leo temporarily did not engage, preparing to wait for their battle to finish.

“Blazing Sword!”

The sword in Locke’s hand burst forth with a blazing light, flames released like lasers, the sword light extending over ten meters, energy uncontrollably spilling out, and the temperature around them instantly rose.

“Not bad.”

Nathan commented.

Leo was also somewhat surprised; this power was much stronger than when he fought him before. In such a short time, he had made such a significant improvement.

This Locke was indeed not simple.

Yuris’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as he drew his sword to counter.

“Blazing Sword!”

He also used the Blazing Sword to fight back, and his sword emitted an even more dazzling light, the flames extending to forty meters, the energy more solid.

No matter how you looked at it, Locke’s sword technique seemed like a child’s play in front of him.

Boom!

The two swords clashed violently, releasing blinding white light at the point of impact.

With a crack, Locke’s Blazing Sword shattered, and Yuris’s forty-meter-long sword slashed down towards him with unstoppable force.

Locke’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated, leaping back several meters.

In the next moment, Yuris’s sword instantly extended, pressing against Locke’s cheek, the raging heat burning his face painfully.

“One move, resolved.”

Yuris retracted his sword, keeping his word.

However, it seemed he had been deceived; how could this be!

“I lost.”

Locke lowered his head in disappointment; that was his full strength, and he thought he could last more than ten moves, but unexpectedly, he was easily defeated, which made him see the gap between him and his opponent.

“That was too fast; it feels like bullying.”

Mona felt a bit sorry for Locke and couldn’t help but sympathize.

“Although he has talent, he hasn’t yet converted it into strength; he is indeed a bit weak.”

Nathan’s words determined Locke’s situation; his current strength was insufficient to join the Crimson Flame team.

Locke glanced at Michelle, seeing that she hadn’t looked at him even once, feeling a bit heartbroken, and left the place.

Leo felt a bit troubled; now that this guy had become stronger, he wouldn’t come back again, would he?

It didn’t matter; when the time came, he would personally take action, giving Locke no chance to fight back.

Next up was his battle, and Krista was already waiting for him.

“I don’t know how strong you are, but I will use all my strength to show you the power of the one called the Princess of the Blazing Flame.”

Krista said seriously; showing her strength was a sign of respect for her opponent.

A massive amount of magic power surged from her body, radiating a crimson glow, soaring into the sky, dyeing the clouds red.

Caw!

A sharp cry echoed in the sky, and a massive figure pierced through the clouds, descending from above.

Crimson feathers, a gigantic body, formed from intense flames, containing terrifying energy.

A blazing phoenix! And it was a non-chanting, ultra-large top-tier attack magic.

The blazing phoenix approached the ground like a great sun, releasing light and heat, illuminating the entire world, the moisture on the ground evaporating, rising in steaming heat.

The magic has a spirit!

The blazing phoenix seemed alive, vividly circling above Krista, and its fiery red eyes were fixed directly on Leo.

“My magic power class is SSS; summoning a sentient phoenix is a piece of cake for me. If I use this move, I could even kill a young dragon. However, the scene was too chaotic at the time, and this move has too large an area of effect; otherwise, I wouldn’t have let the young dragon go to you. You’ve seen it, right? This is the power of the Princess of the Blazing Flame.”

Krista crossed her arms, extremely arrogant; from here on, she wouldn’t need to do anything else; the blazing phoenix would solve everything for her.
