Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

With just one punch that sent Leward flying, Roan swung his arm and frowned slightly.

Broken.

Unsurprisingly, after all, he's just a trainee knight.

Even with the three-item bonus, it still can't compare to the Iron Plate.

Roan's punch used his aura to extend the attack range and directly injured Leiward, rather than hitting the armor.

This is a very advanced technique.

But Leia used this tactic to pursue Luo An for a month, and it had long been remembered by [Monkey Typewriter].

This move is effective against those below the level of apprentice knight, and even against apprentice knights.

Leiward's aura was already able to surround him, blocking Roan's punch.

To Leward's surprise, Roan actually broke through from apprentice knight to trainee knight.

In the end, it was Leiward who was too reckless. If he had been prepared and taken the hit, Roan would have been in a tough fight.

Luo An shook his head. He silently told himself, "Don't resort to such showing off unless absolutely necessary."

But before that,

Luo An raised his head slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the stunned audience, and met Leia's eyes.

The latter covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

She finally became the family heir.

Leia had imagined this scene many times, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

Luo An pursed his lips slightly, his gaze falling on the other side of the audience, the Lionheart family, Leighton.

Layton stood up in surprise, realizing that Roan was responding to the insults he had received at the banquet.

Layton's lips trembled; damn it, he couldn't think of a rebuttal.

Ryder looked utterly desperate, his body began to sway, and he collapsed into a chair.

"I won."

Luo An raised his fist and held it above his head.

"I am Roan Yunina! Knight of Lorton! Defeat Leward Lionheart!"

"The knights of Lorton are absolutely no less formidable than the sleeping lions of House Lionheart! Behold!"

After a brief silence, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, and the noble ladies threw handkerchiefs and flowers into the arena.

Countless knights chanted Roan's name, deeply engraving the gentle face of the black-haired youth into their minds.

From this day forward, the name Roan Union will resonate throughout Lowton.

Starting from Lorton, it will resound throughout the Aisen Territory.

One day, it might even resound throughout the entire kingdom!

They will remember that name.

Luan Yunina!

Just then, an untimely cough rang out.

Leward coughed up blood and staggered to his feet. He used his sword to support himself on the ground.

"It's not over yet!" Leward roared with all his might.

"A duel is only considered over when one side calls for it to end."

"I can still fight, I haven't lost yet!"

"Leward?!" Leward suddenly scrambled to his feet from the slumped bench, trembling all over.

"My God, Father, did you see that?! Leward hasn't lost yet!"

"Leward! Stand up!"

Before Ryder could finish speaking, Leward covered his mouth, and blood gushed out from between his fingers. His body swayed even more violently.

"Your internal organs are injured." Luo An withdrew his fist.

"It's not too serious, but it's hard to say what will happen if we continue to move it."

"Yes, Lord Leward," the referee whispered.

"Your injuries are so severe that if you don't get treatment soon, your life may be in danger."

"Go down, you knight from out of town!" a nosy nobleman shouted from the crowd.

"You've already lost!"

Leward stared intently at Roan with his unwilling eyes, raised his longsword, and made his stance clear through his actions.

Luo An was taken aback, his expression gradually becoming serious, and he turned to apologize to Leia.

"I'm sorry, Leia. The match may have to be extended."

Leia frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Leiward. Did he still have a trump card, a variable, that he had stood up now?

Leia suddenly smiled back at Roan.

As a knight, Leia was well aware of Roan's thoughts.

Luo An breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was a henchman, and he couldn't let his emotions cross the line.

Taking a deep breath, Luo An gripped his longsword. He said calmly.

"I was wrong. Lord Leward, you did not become complacent because I am an apprentice knight."

"You protected yourself, right?"

"In the arena, giving your all to your opponent is the greatest respect you can show."

I approve of you.

As expected of a knight of House Lionheart

As expected of the "Sleeping Lion."

Luo An shook his hand. The bones in his left hand were broken.

Then grip the longsword tightly with your right hand and point it straight at Leward.

"Let's duel! It'll be you and me!"

"Leward! Use that thing!" Leward yelled, veins bulging on his face, looking extremely ferocious.

As long as Leward gets back up! As long as he gets back up and can use the relics, he will definitely win!

Leiward slowly raised his hand, and on the ring finger of his right hand, he was wearing a ring.

"That's... a keepsake?" the audience exclaimed in surprise.

Relics are extremely valuable, and in this era, almost no new relics have appeared.

Each relic is a family heirloom passed down through generations of knightly families.

A trainee knight possesses relics?!

Leward will win!

For a time, all the nobles had the same idea.

Without his belongings, Roan has absolutely no chance of defeating Leward!

Roan's only chance to win is to kill Leward before he can use his relic.

However, Luo An remained standing in the same spot.

A brown light suddenly emanated from Leward's hand.

Faintly, everyone could hear the roar of a lion.

A golden light suddenly appeared before Luo An.

[Relic: The Lion's Slash - A Sacrifice]

[Imitate the lion, crouch low, leap high, and crush the weak with all your might. This will awaken the lion within the ring, destroying both enemy and yourself.]

Leward roared and lowered his body with all his might.

"Oh no!" Leia frowned. "That's the Lion's Sacrifice Slash?! That bastard Ryder actually gave that relic to Ryward."

Leia quickly shouted to Roan, "Roan! Stop fighting him! A trainee knight can't withstand the Lion's Sacrifice Slash, you'll both be in trouble!"

"What do you know!" Ryder roared back from across the vast dueling arena.

"Leward! Don't give up! You have to win!"

Leia frowned, immediately stood up, and knew the duel had to be canceled. Continuing to fight was pointless; Roan and Leiward might die.

The only way to stop this guy is before Leward fully transforms into a lion.

Just then, Luo An raised his hand, gesturing for Leia to sit down.

This is a duel, and out of respect for Leiward, Roan will not allow anyone to interfere.

As Leiward leaped high into the air, transformed into a lion, and fell, Roan also raised his hand.

A clear wolf howl suddenly rang out in the arena.

To everyone's surprise, a giant black wolf was clearly visible behind Luo An.

The giant wolf circled around Luo An and then disappeared.

"That's... a keepsake?!"

[Relic: Wolf Ring]

Become part of the Demon Wolf; never retreat, never surrender, never fall.

A blue light enveloped Luo An. The usually calm Luo An's eyes became ferocious and terrifying like a wolf's. Facing the lion that seemed to be in reality, he transformed into a stream of light and crashed into the lion from above.
