Abnormal Moon

"Isn't Ye Chui-senpai's house nice?"

Kirin Toudou asked with some curiosity.

"No, it's just that the family is too big, and it's very lonely here. Besides, if my father really wants to take me back, he might force me to inherit the family business!"

Night blew, her face full of resistance.

"...I think I should take back the exclusive interview rights."

Roy gave him a cold, sidelong glance.

Chapter 201 Entering the Main Competition

"Please show great compassion in this matter!"

Yoru immediately knelt down, respectfully begging Roy to retract his words with the highest form of Japanese etiquette: the dogeza.

"It's really worthless."

Yulis just watched and thought Ye Chui had no morals, and muttered disdainfully in the background.

"Ah ha ha……"

Kirin Toudou could only manage a couple of dry laughs, unsure how to smooth things over.

"Hahaha! I'm a practitioner of hedonism. I'll abandon anything for pleasure. What's a little dignity compared to that!"

Ignoring Yulis's disdainful gaze, Ye Chui let out a hearty laugh.

Even with his bold attitude, his remarks only made people look down on him even more.

"We'll talk about the interview rights later; the competition is about to begin."

Roy stood up, put the uncomfortable armor back on his waist, and prepared to head to the stage.

The announcer's voice came over the room's loudspeaker: only five minutes left before the competition started; it was time to go on stage.

"Wait a mininute."

Claudia stood up, walked over to Roy, and under his questioning gaze, reached out to straighten his collar and adjust the angle of his school badge.

"Alright, perfect!"

Claudia glanced furtively at Yulis and Kirin Toudou beside her, her smiling expression carrying a hint of smugness, as if she were declaring her ownership.

Yulis's lips twitched, her expression seemingly nonchalant, yet strangely tense.

Kirin Toudou cast an envious glance at Claudia, her affection for her expressed in a very straightforward and innocent way.

Claudia then glanced at Nightbloom.

Night Breeze smiled and looked back, nodding slightly, as if wishing them a resounding victory.

"Come up on stage!"

Sirius Dome, stage.

"Here it comes! The first match of the third round of this year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival! Roy and Claudia Enfield, the top contenders for the championship, have taken the stage! What kind of exciting match will they bring today? Please stay tuned!"

The announcer's passionate voice resonated throughout the venue.

Roy walked to the center of the stage and looked at the two contestants opposite him.

They were wearing the uniforms of the Boundary Dragon Academy. One of them was thin with his long hair tied back, while the other was a burly man with a shiny bald head. Both of them wore yellow dragon badges on their chests, which were the symbols of the Boundary Dragon Academy's Seventh School.

"Jielong's students may look like wood-style boxers, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't know water-style fighting techniques."

Claudia's voice rang in Roy's ears.

The students of Jielong are usually divided into two schools: one is the water school, which focuses on cultivating "Star Immortal Techniques" and these students are collectively called "Taoists"; the other is the wood school, which focuses on fist techniques and these students are collectively called "Fist Masters".

With the deliberate indulgence of some people, the competition between the two factions is very fierce. Verbal clashes and even duels are commonplace. However, in principle, they do not completely deny each other. Taoists of the Water Faction may also know boxing, and boxers of the Wood Faction may not be unaware of Star Immortal Techniques.

"Just go ahead and be careful!"

Claudia replied calmly.

Both men on the other side were clearly wary, but they still solemnly bowed to Roy and his companion with clasped hands.

"Please advise!"

Roy raised an eyebrow and returned the gesture with a fist and palm salute, just like Roy had done.

"Easy to say."

Seeing Roy's courtesy, the two exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise and developing a slight liking for Roy.

"The first match of the third round of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, Area A, begins!"

The mechanical voice announced the start of the competition.

The long-haired youth took a big step forward, pushed off the ground with one foot, and used a very standard stomping motion to quickly close the distance. He then struck Roy in the chest with his right palm.

Roy took out a pure white activation device from the sheath on his left and held it in front of him, effortlessly blocking the attack without moving an inch.

At the same time, he infused it with stellar power, and the green Universal Ore core shone brightly. In a moment, he activated the activation mechanism and swept his sword across the long-haired youth.

In the distance, a strong wind howled, as if a giant dragon was roaring and charging toward him.

The long-haired youth's expression changed drastically. The speed of this slash was so fast that he had no way to dodge it. He had no choice but to gather his star power in his arm.

"boom!"

The long-haired youth was cleaved away by a single blow in the blink of an eye, bouncing twice on the ground before the force dissipated.

He was about to stand up when he felt a sharp, piercing pain in both arms, as if they were about to break.

"Drink——!"

Meanwhile, the burly man on the other side activated his crescent-shaped weapon, pushed off the ground, and leaped into the air, spinning 360 degrees before slashing at Roy with the force of splitting a mountain.

The force of this strike was not to be underestimated; it could easily split steel bars, but Roy simply reached out and precisely grasped the blade of the crescent-shaped halberd.

"what?!"

The burly young man was taken aback. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the blade out; it was as if it had taken root in Roy's hand.

While the big guy was struggling, Roy swung his knife backhand, a move so fast it was impossible for the naked eye to catch, easily shattering a school badge.

He then threw the big guy out, took a step forward, and moved like light, easily shattering the long-haired youth's school badge.

"The match is over! 13 seconds in total! That's amazing! No matter how many times I watch it, I have to admire Roy's incredible skill!"

"He was completely relaxed and at ease throughout. The difference in physical performance was simply too great; it would be difficult to catch up with technique alone. Moreover, his control over the game was impeccable, and his own skills were not to be underestimated..."

"In conclusion, congratulations to Roy and Claudia Enfield for winning the match and successfully advancing to the main event!"

Roy sheathed his sword and bowed to the two men with a smile.

"Concession."

Seeing Roy's gracious gesture, the two men opposite him smiled broadly.

"I am completely convinced."

The burly young man returned the greeting.

"I'll forget it..."

The long-haired youth raised his hands with a wry smile. His hands were visibly red and swollen, and he might have really broken the bones.

They didn't think they could beat Roy at first. Even Zhao Hufeng, the leader of their Mu-style boxing, admitted that he was no match for Roy. To receive such treatment was already a worthwhile trip.

"These two seem a bit stronger than either of the two from the first match against Quenweier."

On their way off the stage, Roy and Claudia reminisced.

"Their names are Sandra and Nina."

Claudia glanced at him helplessly, and sighed with envy.

"Jielong is like this. Even if it is not listed in the Book of Sacrifices, there are strong people who can rival it everywhere. In terms of foundation alone, no academy can compare with Jielong."

Throughout the 24 seasons of the Star Martial Festival, the one that has won the most points is the Boundary Dragon. Even when Saint Galedovath and Reeves sometimes have the upper hand, the Boundary Dragon's ranking has never fallen out of the top three.

Although they are not as good at five-on-five as St. Galedovath, nor as good at two-on-two as Seidoukan, nor as good at one-on-one battles as Reiwolf, they are good at everything, and are all top-notch. Their overall strength often ranks first among the six academies.

Chapter 202 The Night Blowing Clan

"Congratulations! Congratulations on becoming the first team to enter the main competition of this year's Star Martial Arts Festival!"

As soon as he returned to the preparation room, Ye Chui immediately greeted him with a big smile, like a lackey.

Yulis looked like she couldn't bear to watch.

"Senior, please, please have some tea!"

Kirin Toudou, her face slightly flushed, held a porcelain cup with water at just the right temperature and approached Roy.

"Thanks, Kirin."
