74 Cooperative Performance

Figo and Val stood opposite each other on the battle stage.

With the judge’s order, Figo attacked first!

“Roar!”

A tiger’s roar reverberated throughout the square, and just the aftershock made many of the onlookers either faint in fear or faint.

Val was the direct target of The tiger’s roar. His body was stiff and he could not move.

With the roar of a tiger, Figo’s body expanded from 1.8 meters to more than three meters tall.

The muscles all over his body swelled up like huge and hard stones stacked together. The armor he wore was obviously specially made and had a great extension.

Figo’s eyes were bloodshot, and sharp claws that were about a foot long grew out of his ten fingers. As he waved them rapidly, Val’s body was instantly covered in wounds.

In the face of Figo’s storm-like attacks, Val was like a small flower swaying in the wind and rain, about to wither at any moment.

Figo had the absolute upper hand on the scene, but Tagore looked nervous and frowned.

Figo was the same as him. They had both advanced through the Thunderstorm tiger bloodline. However, Figo had a Level 6 bloodline, and it was a rampage tiger bloodline.

As soon as the fight started, Figo immediately released his two skills, rage and sharp claws, in an attempt to unleash his highest attack power and tear through Val’s defense.

However, although Val looked like he was in danger, he was able to turn danger into safety every time. Figo’s attack had failed for a long time, and victory and defeat were already set.

Under the influence of the blood-devouring spell, Val became more and more courageous as he fought, while Figo’s face became paler and paler. In the end, he could no longer maintain his berserk state, and his body returned to normal.

After the berserk ended, Figo’s body became weak. Val did not show any mercy, and the long sword in his hand launched a series of attacks.

Although it was called a sword, it was more like a sword-shaped whip.

The soft sword’s attack angle was extremely tricky, and it moved one after another.

After a short while, Figo was covered in blood. Seeing the blood, Val became even more excited, and his attacks increased in frequency.

Figo knew that he was going to lose and wanted to admit defeat, but Val’s every attack was aimed at his vital parts. He could only try his best to block and did not have the time to speak.

By the time Tagore realized that something was wrong and admitted defeat, Figo was already covered in blood. He lay on the stage, his life or death unknown.

Ning Shi laughed and clapped. “What a wonderful performance! The scene is eye-opening!

Tagore’s face was livid. He had no time to argue with Ning Shi. His figure flashed and he appeared on the stage to check on Figo’s injuries.

The tiger bloodline was strong in one-on-one combat, but its vitality and recovery rate were slightly worse than other bloodlines. Figo’s injuries would take at least a year to recover from.

After a year of recuperation, Figo’s path to advancing his bloodline had been cut off.

Tagore’s eyes were cold, but considering the situation in front of him, he held back.

After handing Figo over to the butler for treatment, Tagore regained his calm and greeted Prince Chapman.

“Your Highness, my son’s injuries are too severe. I’m worried and have to take my leave.”

Chapman nodded and asked Tagore to take care of Figo.

Tagore left in a hurry. He was sure that Ning Shi was no match for Alesia. After Figo’s defeat, Lena lost her position as a Duke.

At this moment, using Figo’s injury as an excuse, he quickly returned to the manor and evacuated Rose City according to the original plan.

Ning Shi looked at Tagore’s back with a meaningful smile on his face. Then he picked up his heavy meteoric iron knife and flashed directly to the battle stage.

Looking at Ning Shi standing on the stage with a long knife in his arms, the aristocrats in the audience and the crowd below the stage were in a heated discussion. No one knew Ning Shi’s background.

These people might have heard of the name of Ning Shi, the Lord of extreme wilderness, but they did not know his exact appearance.

Georgina stared at Ning Shi for a while and said with a smile, “Your Highness, even you don’t know the background of this Zhang San?”

Val had just defeated Figo, and it was a complete victory. Duke Georgina’s mood turned from gloomy to sunny, and her words were filled with a smile and flirtatious manner.

“No.” Chapman shook his head. “The list was only decided this morning. There was too little time. We didn’t have time to investigate Zhang San’s background.

The crowd was also in an uproar.

“Who is this Zhang San? You actually have the courage to duel with His Highness Alesia.”

“That’s right. His Highness Alesia is the most powerful genius of the royal family. In the entire continent, he’s also a genius.”

“Argh! His Highness Alesia went up the stage! He has golden hair and deep, charming eyes. He’s so charming. I really want to have his children!”

“What are you thinking? You’re a man…”

After Alesia came to Rose City, she deliberately created the image of a noble of justice. In just a week, he had already gained a high reputation in Rose City.

As he stepped onto the stage, the audience cheered.

Even his elder brother Chapman put down his prejudice and cheered for him.

Looking at Alesia standing in front of him, holding a purple and gold curved knife in his hand, Ning Shi’s mouth flashed a smile.

He was still thinking about his mission.

[ Must-kill mission: Seize Alesia’s weapon-Lionheart Blade. The Lionheart Blade has recognized its owner. You can only seize it after killing the host. Mission time limit: 3 years. Punishment for failure: Spiritual Power -10, Constitution -20 ]

In addition to helping Lena win the title of Duke, his biggest goal in coming to Rose City was to kill Alesia and get the Lionheart Blade.

Ning Shi was not here to duel but to kill.

Ning Shi was very satisfied that he could have a duel with Alesia in this arena contest.

Alesia was also very satisfied. He looked at the smiling Ning Shi and directly opened his mouth to expose Ning Shi’s identity.

“The Lord of the extreme wilderness, Your Excellency Ning Shi, aren’t you maintaining order in Duohuang City? Why have you come to Rose City?”

Today, Alesia had made up his mind to step on Ning Shi and forge his own prestige.

He had to let everyone know Ning Shi’s identity first. Only defeating and subduing Ning Shi like this would it cause people to be greatly shocked.

Alesia’s words were deliberately transmitted using magic power, and her voice spread to every corner of Victory Square.

The faces of the nobles in the audience changed.

Chapman’s face was ashen. He had heard of Ning Shi’s identity and knew that Ning Shi had been recruited by his brother.

He saw through Alesia’s intention and his heart skipped a beat. Alesia could win, but defeating a nobody, Zhang San, and defeating the Lord of the extreme wilderness, Ning Shi, were two completely different things.

Alesia was Chapman’s number one competitor for the throne. No one liked their competitor to be in the limelight.

Kingsley had also heard of Ning Shi’s name. His expression changed, but he kept quiet. On the other hand, Georgina looked at Ning Shi with great interest, as if she was very interested in him.

Among the crowd below the stage, a small number of people had heard of Ning Shi’s deeds. Most people were limited by the delay in the transmission of information and did not know who the Lord of extreme wilderness was.

This instead intensified the heat of the discussion, and Ning Shi’s reputation quickly spread among the crowd.

[ The Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the power of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes, no. ]

Ning Shi’s expression did not change as he received Lionheart Blade’s message.

[ To cooperate with Alesia’s performance, please answer: “Your Highness Alesia’s reputation is known by everyone in Duohuang City. I’m here to admire Your Highness’s reputation and would like to have a spar with you.” ]

Ning Shi was speechless. How could this Alesia think of such a disgusting dialog? In order to numb him, he could only suppress his disgust.

Ning Shi closed his eyes and read out the lines the Lionheart Blade had passed on.

The crowd was in an uproar. Duke Georgina looked at Chapman with interest and said faintly.

“It’s rumored that His Highness Alesia has subdued Duohuang City’s master, Ning Shi. It seems to be true.”

Alesia laughed and said boldly, “Since ancient times, heroes have always cherished heroes. Today, let’s have a great battle to determine the final ownership of the Duke of Rose!

In the crowd below the stage, someone sighed and said, “Two heroic figures admired each other and had a fair duel. The chip in the duel was the title of Duke. What happened today will definitely be widely spread on the continent and praised by future generations.

“We are witnessing history!”

[ The Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the power of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes, no. ]

“Cooperate with Alesia in the fight. You can slash Alesia with all your strength, and Alesia will block it with his golden mech to show his defensive power. After that, he will show off his coolest moves one by one. Try your best to avoid them, but don’t interrupt them, and don’t lose too quickly. ]
