I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Hua Yi swore that he hadn't made it up; Seele really was the Herald of Life and Death.

However, that one had a surname: Seeleflair.

“I remember your code name in Earthfire was Butterfly, so how about Belloberg Butterfly? It’s a bit understated, but it sounds beautiful. I think it suits you.”

"Hey, don't say sweet nothings in this kind of situation!"

"Is this title acceptable?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Now the pre-match preparations are completely complete.

It's almost time.

Seele and March 7 went to the training ground. Their first matches were scheduled in order, but they were just going together to avoid tension as much as possible.

Hua Yi and the others sat in the audience seats, which were specially arranged by the Luofu officials. They had a private area with a clear view and would not be disturbed by irrelevant passersby.

Exclusive booking of the entire area.

For a mega-event like this, open to the entire galaxy, such a vast martial arts arena would naturally not allow for just one match to be held at the same time.

The Immortal Boat Cave technology expands the space and achieves magical folding, ensuring that even if countless matches are held at the same time, each group of opponents can use the entire training ground as a stage to showcase their skills.

But the girls' attention was not on the deck where the game had not yet started.

Xing, Estella, and Bronya exchanged glances for a while.

To be precise, it should be the latter two who are communicating.

Galaxy Bat Man just winked and made funny faces, meaning "We've decided that I'll give up the seat closest to Hua Yi."

Himeko rarely felt that Xing might truly possess extraordinary wisdom, and that he had become smarter after spending a long time with Hua Yi, so she gave him an approving look.

"Pera, you are the scribe of the Silvermane Iron Guard. You are here in Luofu to record data on the stars. Please sit next to Lord Hua Yi and observe the ceremony. If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

"Eh?"

Pera, who had been a nobody for half a day, stood there stunned.

Having already determined the seating arrangement through eye contact, Bronya didn't give her any more time to think. She pressed Pera's shoulder and made her sit to Hua Yi's right, while Estádio took the left.

Then Bronya sat to the right of Pera, and Cocolia sat even to the right, so they sat in a row.

Xing had another mischievous idea. She chose a spot behind Hua Yi, so that by leaning forward, she could rest her head on her lover's shoulder and watch the game comfortably.

cluck~

She could even slip her hand inside Hua Yi's collar and scratch his neck!

Yun Li felt that this group of people reeked of the saccharine scent of romance, so she wrinkled her nose and simply sat in the seat in front of Hua Yi.

It's quite close.

As for the space station crew, Earthfire, and the other Silvermane Iron Guards, they were seated in the same area at a slightly different distance.

Being able to watch the game with Lord Hua Yi is already an incredible stroke of luck; if I told my friends in the group when I got back, they would be so jealous.

They were temporarily satisfied, their cheeks flushed.

"Whether or not your world has a concept of day and night, I wish you a good morning, noon, and evening! Welcome, welcome to the martial arts ceremony and challenge competition!"

Chapter 503: Martial Arts Ceremony

Interstellar Peace Company made a splash by commissioning the Immortal Boat Alliance to create a remote puppet designed to resemble one of its famous hosts—a white owl.

Hua Yi had heard about this from Topati.

Tingyun is capable of handling the task, but there's no need for her to rush to do it.

The Tianbo Company is already very busy lately, so how could they possibly arrange work for their wives and exploit their labor?

"The players participating in this round of the competition are..."

The owl host announced a series of names.

Hua Yi merely glanced around and saw hundreds or even thousands of people standing in the arena, the duel about to begin.

With so many people fighting, even though Luo Fu had set the tone early on, stating that the martial arts ceremony was about making friends through martial arts, if someone made a mistake, it could still easily affect other participants.

That's how it was supposed to be.

The same spatial technology used in Xianzhou Cave Heaven solved the problem, separating the numerous competitions from each other.

In the early stages of the competition, the host is mainly responsible for announcing the names of the participants, which takes up most of the time. Whether the host can find the highlights in the huge arena and provide commentary depends entirely on their professional competence.

"Seele from Arilol-VI faces off against the guards of the Tarrasa Palace!"

From the host's rapid-fire commentary, Hua Yi and his group caught a glimpse of Xi'er's name.

Having obtained permission from the event organizers, Gui Naifen, carrying a high-definition camera, ran to the front of the stands and excitedly introduced something.

She was broadcasting the match to her fan group.

Hua Yi noticed a camera there, specifically pointed at his 973 unit.

Pretending not to notice, I glanced at the person opposite Seele again.

The fish-men of the planet Tarrassa, with their flippers holding tridents, look quite imposing, but they are not Destiny Walkers.

This universe takes destiny as its truth, and whether or not one can step into it is the boundary between strength and weakness.

Seele possesses the power of destiny, while the Murloc Guardians do not.

Therefore, the outcome of the battle will not even be in suspense.

"What happened in Arena 5? Seele unleashed an incredibly terrifying speed, surpassing the physical limits of ordinary people, and she wasn't even equipped with a special powered mech—this is the physical strength of a Destiny Walker!"

As Seele transformed into a streak of light, wielding a scythe, and charged toward the Murloc Guardians, the host astutely captured the exciting moment.

"With a single blow, Seele simply swung the back of her scythe at her opponent and sent him flying! Judging by that murloc's size, he must have weighed at least five or six hundred pounds, and with his armor, he would be even heavier. Let's give a round of applause to the first victor of this martial arts ceremony!"

"Oh!!"

Only a few seconds have passed since the start of the match.

"So simple?"

Xing's fingers moved restlessly, tickling Hua Yi's neck and shouting in his ear.

"I thought Seele would observe her opponent first and engage in various strategic maneuvers."

"In the environment of the lower zone, when fighting against the monsters of the Rift, Seele's fighting style emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Her greatest mercy is to swing her scythe back and smash people. She would never hold back or delay for the sake of giving face to her opponent."

Seeing Xier take a deep breath and look towards the audience, Hua Yi stood up with a big smile, waving to his wife while mouthing the words to her.

"Well played."

Previously, Xi'er had coldly defeated her opponent. Seeing that Hua Yi was making a big fuss to cheer her on because of a mere victory, she wanted to put on a more serious expression and tell him to sit down and not get tired.

As a result, the corners of her mouth had already turned up, revealing the girl's radiant mood.

Now Seele wielded her scythe with even greater force.

Watch me slash six times in a second!

That wasn't the limit for either the scythe or Seele; it was simply to let Hua Yi see his performance on the field clearly.

A warm gaze, a powerful sickle!

Today's matches aren't over yet; by proactively requesting to play consecutive matches, you can quickly accumulate points.

Anyway, it's the early stage of the knockout stage, there are plenty of participants, so you'll always find an opponent.

Seele is about to wreak havoc!

The competition was in full swing, and next up was March 7th, who wielded two swords and had quite the chivalrous air.

At first glance, he looked like a swordsman from a celestial boat.

The person opposite her was not a traveler on a path of destiny either.

Compared to Seele's decisiveness, Little Three Months was quite considerate.

He stood with his sword in hand, cautious and on guard, trying to observe the opponent's fighting style.

As it turns out, their opponents were having the same idea.

Then I'll draw my sword first—

The Glazed Sword that cleanses away evil spirits!

Silently reciting his self-created sword technique, March 7th was ultimately unable to shout out the moves with the same imposing presence as Master Yunli had taught him.

Now everyone's paying attention.

It sounded so cool, but the effect was limited; the gap between expectations and reality was too big.

On March 7th, he raised his sword to his opponent from afar.

"It's sword energy!"

The company's excellent host passionately cheered, capturing the details of the competition once again.

"The legendary new swordsman has actually unleashed a sword aura, a symbol of a grandmaster and top expert in many civilizations. Sure enough, her opponent couldn't block it and was forced to retreat—the second strike, March 7th's second strike, and it was sword aura again! The opponent conceded defeat!"

"good."

From the audience, Yun Li calmly gave her evaluation.

Hua Yi got used to Xing tickling him from behind and wanted to do the same to Yun Li. Luckily, he realized halfway through and didn't stick his finger under the girl's collar. Instead, he patted her shoulder.

"Who was it that tensed up when March 7th came on stage, as if they were afraid he would lose?"

"..."

As the granddaughter of the Heavenly General of the Imperial Bow and a genius swordsman of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, Yun Li has long been able to see in all directions and hear in all directions.

She had been stealing glances at Hua Yi earlier and noticed Xing whispering to him inappropriately.

Seeing Hua Yi reach out his hand, I thought he was going to follow suit and be a little more affectionate towards me.

It turned out to be just a pat on the shoulder?

Yun Li, who was initially nervous and expectant, was a little discouraged.

Even when sitting behind her, with the back of the chair blocking the view of the petite girl, Hua Yi could still tell Yun Li's emotional changes from her upright posture to her relaxed one.

What's wrong?

You definitely won't get an answer if you ask directly.

But if Hua Yi could guess the girl's thoughts and do something else, things would develop differently.

The hand that patted Yun Li's shoulder moved horizontally and instead touched a spot on her snow-white neck.

"Ah!" The girl shrank back.

Nothing happened.

Estella, Bronya, and the others sitting nearby watched the training ground intently.

Even if Hua Yi takes further action against Yun Li, they will not make a fuss.

Uh, if needed, I can provide an assist?

The victor fell into thought, and Hua Yi stopped what he was doing and began to tease the girl with his words.

"Are you alright, Xiao Yunli?"

"N-nothing... Don't add 'small' before my name, I'm not small!"

"It's a nickname."

"Well……"

Yun Li fell silent.

Leaving aside the previous topic, Hua Yi stood up again and applauded March 7th for their victory on the field.

Little March responded with a peace sign.

We need to take a picture of this.
