Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 349: IUD-CHAPTER 349 OPPONENT PARTNER

In the following days, it seemed as if there were no major events happening, just like a calm after the storm.

In Asterisk City, everyone’s attention remained firmly fixed on the “Phoenix Festa,” and as the Festa progressed, the atmosphere grew increasingly intense.

Afterward, Fang Li and Cecily went through several matches.

However, compared to their encounter with Ardi and Rimsy, the opponents in the subsequent matches were not as easy to defeat with Cecily alone, but Fang Li and Cecily didn’t face as much peril as they did when battling Ardi and Rimsy.

In the end, Fang Li and Cecily advanced through each challenge, achieving consecutive victories and successfully making it to the finals.

At this point, Fang Li was just one step away from the championship of the “Phoenix Festa.”

Meanwhile, in another match determining the other team to advance to the finals, a fierce competition was unfolding before Fang Li’s eyes.

“Haaaaaahhhhhhh!”

“Haaaaaahhhhhhh!”

On the Space Screen, Amagiri Ayato and Toudou Kirin were simultaneously shouting as they charged toward each other on the stage of Sirius Dome.

One wielded a black-forged Ser Vesta, while the other held an ordinary katana.

Behind them, Julis and Shasamiya Saya appeared to be fully committed to providing long-range support.

One brandished a slender sword-shaped Lux that emitted fierce flames, while the other was equipped with a formidable combination cannon, continuously gathering energy at the barrel.

In the audience room of the Yellow Dragon Temple, led by Fan Xinglou, Fang Li, Cecily, Zhao Hufeng, and the Li siblings were all present, watching the semi-final match unfold.

Indeed, this semi-final match determining the other advancing team was an intense internal battle among participants from Seidoukan Academy.

Amagiri Ayato x Shasamiya Saya VS Toudou Kirin x Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld.

The excitement of this semi-final match was on par with Fang Li and Cecily’s battle against Al and Rimsy.

After all, both sides featured exceptionally strong Genestellars.

Amagiri Ayato and Shasamiya Saya, though previously lesser-known, were both formidable competitors.

Ayato had held the first-place rank in Seidoukan Academy’s rankings, and in the original “Phoenix Festa,” he had fought on par with Rimsy and ultimately emerged victorious.

There was no need to reiterate their strength.

Toudou Kirin and Julis were equally powerful, ranking first and fifth, respectively, and were undoubtedly not weaker than their counterparts.

Thus, this semi-final match was incredibly thrilling.

Amagiri Ayato and Toudou Kirin engaged in an unmatched close combat battle, showcasing their exquisite Sword Techniques.

Their figures weaved across the stage, their sword edges never colliding, as if they were competing in a display of their skills, leaving spectators in awe.

Shasamiya Saya and Julis remained in the background, providing long-range support with intense barrages and powerful flames.

Occasionally, they engaged in confrontations with each other, creating a constant spectacle of explosions above the stage, resembling fireworks.

In this situation, both sides continued their fierce battle, neither giving an inch.

The audience in the stands cheered enthusiastically, and their applause was incessant.

Even Fan Xinglou couldn’t help but express her delight, clapping her hands while watching the match.

“That’s right!

Just like this!

Whether it’s Amagiri Ayato or Toudou Kirin, they both possess extraordinary talents!

Why aren’t these two students of Jie Long?”

From this statement, it was clear how good Fan Xinglou’s mood was and how highly she regarded these two individuals.

Cecily and Zhao Hufeng couldn’t help but nod and a hint of fighting spirit ignited in their eyes.

Whether it was Amagiri Ayato or Toudou Kirin, both were experts on par with Cecily and Zhao Hufeng.

Julis and Shasamiya Saya, one excelled in Ability while the other in technique, were equally impressive, earning the admiration of onlookers.

However, among those present, only the Li siblings seemed to be making sarcastic comments.

“Toudou Kirin is not a problem either.”

“But an existence like Amagiri Ayato is just that, isn’t it?”

The words of Li Shenyun and Li Shenhua were filled with disdain for Amagiri Ayato.

Well, that’s true.

Compared to Toudou Kirin, Amagiri Ayato’s body is sealed and can only unleash power for a certain amount of time.

Even though his strength is extraordinary during this period, once the time limit is over, he becomes nothing more than a paper tiger.

It’s no wonder the Li siblings look down on him.

However, faced with the disdain of the Li siblings, Fang Li merely glanced at them and kindly reminded, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, don’t forget that it was this ‘just that’ existence that defeated you, hmm?”

The complexion of the Li siblings darkened instantly.

After the revelation of Amagiri Ayato’s seal, he and Shasamiya Saya faced Jie Long’s teams in the two subsequent matches.

No one expected Amagiri Ayato and Shasamiya Saya to win in these two matches.

After all, Amagiri Ayato’s seal was too deadly.

With a time limit, facing the experts from Jie Long, no one believed Amagiri Ayato had a chance of winning.

However, the results were shocking.

In the first match, relying on the tacit understanding developed over many years as childhood friends, Amagiri Ayato and Shasamiya Saya defeated Fang Li’s two senior brothers, who were ranked tenth and eleventh in the sequence.

In the second match, despite Amagiri Ayato being targeted ruthlessly due to the time limit, Shasamiya Saya revealed a hidden weapon— a combination cannon Lux that seemed to be equipment for her entire body.

With its formidable destructive power, she blasted the twin siblings, causing them to lose their direction.

Finally, Amagiri Ayato seized the opportunity and cut off their emblem.

Afterward, Amagiri Ayato and Shasamiya Saya smoothly advanced through each challenge.

Although their advancement was much less difficult than Fang Li and Cecily’s, it was nevertheless a surprising journey.

Therefore, the Li siblings had no right to mock Amagiri Ayato.

“Oh?” At this moment, Fan Xinglou spoke up.

“It seems the outcome is revealed.” Everyone immediately focused their gaze on the Space Screen.

The next moment, everyone saw it.

Amagiri Ayato, who was engaged in close combat with Toudou Kirin, suddenly turned around like an arrow and charged toward Julis, who was acting as the rearguard.

Before Julis could react, he severed her emblem.

Julis’s elimination left Toudou Kirin somewhat bewildered.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shasamiya Saya used a small pistol-shaped Lux to shoot down the emblem.

“The match is over, the winners are Amagiri Ayato and Shasamiya Saya.”

Upon hearing this verdict, Fang Li couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
