Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

"Aeolus, the era of all warriors must begin. A mere reincarnation of the goddess of strife has thrown our Sanctuary into chaos. Do you still think we can win the upcoming Holy War on our own?"

"Garon, I also believe that relying solely on the Sanctuary won't suffice. But I still think your plan for a universal warrior population is unreliable. Uncontrolled human power is more terrifying than the gods, and the rampant growth of warriors will inevitably bring irreparable damage to the land!"

"Looks like we'll have to settle things with our fists."

"Ah."

With each holding their own opinion, the two turned their attention to the arena.

This was a private contest with no spectators. Apart from the students from the two teams, the only participants in this challenge were Jia Long and Aiolos, who served as instructors, and Alex, who served as referee for both sides.

"The team challenge begins!"

"The first match will now begin, featuring Orion Rigel from the Sagittarius team against Lotus Agora from the Gemini team!"

Without any preamble, Alex took the stage and announced the start of the battle, calling the trainees to the stage to fight according to the order determined by the two teams themselves.

Upon hearing the summons, Agora and a white-haired youth from the Sagittarius squad stepped onto the arena. For safety reasons, both of them wore the dark armor corresponding to their respective constellations.

"let's start!"

At Alex's command, the battle began instantly, with the two boys charging towards each other with powerful sonic booms.

"Lotus Burst Fist!"

"Will-o'-the-wisp!"

The battle at the sixth sense level was rather unremarkable. Although the two teenagers had great potential and their back-and-forth fighting was quite exciting, in the eyes of Jia Long and his two companions, it was nothing more than chickens fighting each other.

The outcome was quickly decided.

In this match, the result was... Orion Rigel from the Sagittarius team won. In terms of Cosmo level and combat experience, Agora was superior, but he was overtaken by his opponent's tenacious will and ultimately fell to his opponent's ghostly fire-infused fighting technique.

Upon seeing this, Aiolos immediately burst out laughing.

"Garon, do you see this? This is the power of the spirit! It is also the powerful force brought about by the harsh environment and dogmatic indoctrination that you have always despised."

Every trainee in my team has been tempered by the environment and the rules; their spirits are stronger than the last. Galon, it's not too late for you to admit defeat..."

"Aeolus, haven't you heard of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy?"

"What horse?!"

Chapter 336 Challenge! The Era of All-People Fighters Arrives (Part 2)

The challenge continues.

The second match is between Dio of the Sagittarius team and Marin of the Gemini team.

Dio excels in aerial combat; his fighting technique, Death Flight, allows him to rapidly change his form in the air. However, Marin is also skilled in aerial combat, and her Lightning Kick is a Gold-level technique that uses speed to fight speed. As a result, after the two exchanged blows in the air, Dio of the Silver Fly was kicked down by Marin.

Marin wins!

"Isn't this girl's fighting style the same one that Aiolia and I use..."

Looking at Marin's agile figure, Aiolos was speechless with astonishment. His student had actually been defeated by his unique fighting technique. Who could he complain to?

In the third match, the Sagittarius team fielded Alegoni of the Spider constellation, while the Gemini team fielded Sharna of the Ophiuchus constellation.

Alegni's ability is very special; he can absorb the power of other people's cosmos and make it his own.

It can be said that they suppressed Sharna from the very beginning.

However, when Sharna unleashed the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, Aleguni's abilities became useless. Instead, he was affected by the illusion and his condition deteriorated. In the end, Sharna kicked him off the arena.

"Garon, you even taught this girl such a dangerous fighting technique as the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist?!"

"Not only that, she also knows Shaka's Sky Haki."

"Uh~"

Aiolos was speechless again; he suddenly felt that Jia Long was somewhat lacking in martial ethics.

However, in the fourth round, Shiva of the Gemini team defeated Eion of the Shield team, relying on her experience of seeing the Ghost Shield on Mithril Demon Island, leaving Aiolos speechless.

Unlike his emphasis on cultivating the spiritual strength of his students.

Jia Long places more emphasis on cultivating trainees' ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

The battle just now perfectly demonstrated this ability to adapt. Initially, Ewan of the Shield had the upper hand, but Shiva found a weakness in his defense and turned the tide of the battle. It can be said to be a perfect demonstration of Jalong's teaching results.

After four matches, the Gemini team has won three consecutive games, securing their victory in advance.

"Aeolus, should we continue fighting?"

"Let's fight. After all, we've brought them all here. I have high hopes for the remaining one, Ichimo of the Southern Cross. He has the potential to become a top-tier fighter."

"I also have a lot of confidence in Seth of Corona Southerna. He may become an ice-type fighter second only to Camus in the future."

"oh?!"

As the two were talking, Alex on the stage beckoned Seth and Ichimo to come up and begin their final duel.

"Blazing Rampage!"

"Diamond Star Fist!"

The battle on stage was incredibly intense, and the students below were all thrilled. However, at this moment, Jia Long and Aiolos were no longer talking about the challenge match.

"Garon, how do you plan to implement the All-People Fighter Plan? Will you first conduct a pilot program around the Sanctuary, or..."

"Of course, it should be implemented worldwide. We don't have much time left. This nationwide fighter plan must yield results within ten years."

"The training of warriors is extremely arduous; how could it possibly be promoted worldwide?"

"Of course! We just need to incorporate it into the local elementary, middle, and high school entrance exams. Then, we won't even need to promote it; the parents of these kids will be begging to send them to all sorts of warrior tutoring classes. Aiolos, you have no idea how complicated education is these days..."

"This... Galon, although I lost to you, I still have to remind you, you are toying with Pandora's Box!"

"It's okay. Don't even mention Magic Box, I've played Pandora too."

"?!"

……

In this bet, Jia Long defeated Aiolos, and the All-People Fighter Plan was successfully implemented.

However, Aiolos's reaction was not as strong as Jialong had imagined.

Perhaps, having just died once, his mindset has changed.

Perhaps, like Jia Long, he also saw that this holy war was different from the past.

In the past, holy wars were more like a game of gods under the guidance of Zeus, the king of the gods. But now Zeus has disappeared, which means that this holy war is definitely not a game of gods. The old rules will no longer be able to restrict the gods' behavior.

The emergence of divine forces in recent times is a sign.

The upcoming holy war will become incredibly chaotic, and the Sanctuary will face its greatest challenge since the age of mythology.

If the Holy Land fails in the Holy War, the earth will return to the era of the gods' rule, and humanity will become slaves to the gods at their beck and call.

Therefore, Jia Long's plan to make everyone a fighter is also a worst-case scenario!

of course.

Although Aiolos no longer objected, the implementation of this matter still depended on Jialong. However, Jialong did not intend to do it himself, but instead planned to hand it over to Kido Mitsumasa and Qiang Ge of the Yama Kingdom.

All the Sanctuary needs to do is show support.

Jia Long now needs to focus more of his energy on the Ghost Saints, who pose the greatest threat.

Based on his understanding of Ais's personality, this gambling-loving goddess would definitely come to the Sanctuary again.

However, it certainly won't be now, unless she actually enjoys being seen by Jia Long.

Therefore, Esther and the Ghost Saints' next target is obvious: Erii in the Thousand Swamps, because only by merging with Erii can they become the true Goddess of Strife.

Therefore, the next goal of the Sanctuary is also very clear: to prevent Esther from succeeding. The best way is to invite Erii to the Sanctuary. In this way, if Esther wants to regain her status as the Goddess of Conflict, she will only have the option of attacking the Sanctuary.

Simply put, it's about cutting off the source of the problem.

However, the difficulty lies in Erii's attitude.

"Even if Erii is kind, she is still one of the two reincarnations of the Goddess of Strife. What is her attitude towards the Sanctuary?"

"If we force her to come to the Holy Land, will it cause her to awaken prematurely? What will her attitude be after she awakens? Will it give the Holy Land another powerful enemy?"

"It seems this matter really can't be left to others. I have to make the trip to Danube City in the Thousand Swamps Region myself. Moreover, I can't overly provoke Erii; I need to find a way to gently guide her..."

……

Just as Jia Long was planning to go to the Thousand Marshes Domain.

Tao domain.

Inside the quiet villa, accompanied by melodious music, Esther was venting her anger on Pandora.

"Pandora, I will make sure he dies a horrible death!"

"Esther, is this human you're talking about really that hateful?"

"He's more than just hateful, he deserves to die! You have no idea how despicable, shameless, and vile this Gemini Galon is. He even stretched out his foot and made me lick it while I was sleeping!"

"Esther, you were so careless. How could you not be alert at all to something that was salty and smelly?"

"Huh?! Pandora, how do you know the smell of his feet?"

Chapter 337 Marrying into the Family! A Farce Before Departure

With a "snap," the string broke, and Pandora's elegant smile froze on her face.

"Estelle, you were just too careless. If it were me, Pandora, I would never do something as stupid as licking a man's toes."

"Pandora, I only told you this embarrassing story because I consider you a good friend. Instead of comforting me, you actually laughed at me?"

"Estelle, don't I know you? You're just trying to gain my sympathy. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

After Pandora finished speaking, her delicate hands plucked the strings of her harp again, and soothing music filled the air. Her face regained its elegant composure.

On the other side, Esther, sitting on her bed, felt no embarrassment at all, even though Pandora had seen through her thoughts. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally planned to reveal the whole thing about being seen in order to gain her best friend's sympathy.

It seems that is no longer necessary now.
