Chapter 132 This is the Golden Lion Pegasus Three Mysterious Transformations—Xiao Guang Transformation 4k

Generally speaking, with the triennial Knights' Special Tournament about to begin, not many people pay attention to the qualifiers before the main tournament in Kazimierz.

Because the truly promising and renowned knights usually have the qualification to start directly from the main competition, and the various knightly orders or strong independent knights have already accumulated enough points in the regular season to prepare for the special tournament, they will not spend too much energy on such minor competitions as the qualifying rounds.

Therefore, in the already heavily commercialized and entertainment-oriented equestrian competition in Kazimierz, the qualifying rounds are also the most commercialized part.

Give out more spots in the main competition, manipulate the hype behind the scenes to promote two dark horses and boost advertising sales.

But this year's qualifiers were different from previous years, attracting the attention of people from all walks of life in Kazimierz, from commoners to nobles.

It's all because that rising dark horse has an incredibly resounding surname—Lin Guang!

Maria Nearl, as an independent knight, entered the arena without accepting any corporate sponsorship. She made great strides in the qualifiers, accumulating considerable popularity with her amazing five skills, sweet face, and special background.

According to gossip news reports, Maria has a rather special relationship with the Sun Knights, who shone brightly in the regular season recently. Many paparazzi have captured images of the two spending time alone together, providing new fodder for the creation of Liu Bei in Kazimierz.

Maria herself had even searched for information on many strange little websites.

However, in Maria's view, she was simply gathering information to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how the Kasimir people viewed her.

Sometimes, if I accidentally stay up too late at night, I'll get up the next day with dark circles under my eyes and still-wet sheets, and if my aunt catches me, the consequences will be dire.

Getting back to the main point, the Howling Arena is busier than ever today, because the final of the preliminary rounds is about to take place here.

This final adopted a brand-new 2v2 format. Maria did not join the Knights, so she could only form a team with another independent knight to deal with their opponents.

Maria was quite confident about today's final, but the moment she stepped out of the preparation area, the host, Mob, announced some shocking news.

"I must announce some regrettable news: Farfang Knight was injured in the accident last night and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

Even so! Maria did not choose to forfeit! Risking the possibility of facing two opponents alone, she still stepped onto the field!!

Let me see for myself how much this courage truly values ​​in your hearts!

"Am I the only one?"

Maria gripped the Ringed Knight's Straight Sword tightly, glancing around the stands, but only saw her aunt who had come to watch the match.

She didn't see the other figure she wanted to see even more.

Why didn't Sensei come today?

Although she felt somewhat disappointed, Maria still did not choose to abstain.

Not only for herself and for Shin's sake, but also because it was a promise she made to Sensei, she had to win the championship in this selection tournament.

so...

"Bearing the name of Nearl, I will never lose!"

With this declaration, Maria lifted her white cloak, raised her head high, and walked onto the ring, winning cheers from the audience.

"Little Radiant Knight!"

"I believe in Nearl, she is the pride of knights, my pride!"

"Maria, we respect your Teeth! Smash the Teeth on the other side!"

The deafening cheers didn't last long, as a chilling, ominous black mist began to drift across the arena. Two Sarkaz knights clad in heavy armor emerged from the mist, exuding an aura of corruption and decay, like demons from hell, reaping life and fear.

"Uh, these are Maria Nearl's opponents, the Corrupt Knight and the Wither Knight from the Snowheel Knights!"

Now that the contestants are all ready, let the competition begin!

Before Mob could finish speaking, the black mist above the arena surged and became restless. Two Sarkaz knights, like beasts unleashed from their cages, charged at Maria like two sandwiches, instantly plunging her into a fierce battle.

As for Bai Xun, who should have been in the audience, he appeared in the Business Federation building instead.

He wasn't going to blow up the "Arasaka Tower" right now like Johnny's Hand Silver did. The building would collapse, but it should be done in front of a great audience, not like it was being torn down as if it had been the victim of a terrorist attack.

Simply demolishing a building won't do; what he needs is to destroy the authority of the business federation, and that time is fast approaching.

"Mr. Bai Xun, are you very interested in the Black Knight?"

In the Hall of Glory, noticing that Bai Xun had stopped in front of the portrait of the Black Knight, Charne, the spokesperson for the Business Federation, spoke up.

"Which knight wouldn't be interested in her? After all, she left behind three portraits."

Bai Xun chuckled softly and continued to examine the three nearly identical portraits left behind by Jian. He couldn't help but stroke his chin and nod, especially upon seeing her enormous, almost parallel horns.

"Yes, they look alike! Very alike!"

"Are you acquainted with the Black Knight?"

Charlene couldn't help but ask, but Bai Xun shook his head and said...

"I don't know Jian, she just looks a lot like an old friend of mine."

"That must be a very powerful warrior, after all, the Black Knight's bravery is well known."

Bai Xun nodded in agreement with Charlene's words.

"You're right, but this is the Golden Lion, the strongest Fanged Beast monster."

Small in size, poor meat quality, high damage. It deals chip damage; without Flinch Free, it will be constantly interrupted, and even with Flinch Free, it still gets chipped away. Entering the Saiyan stage, it unleashes a barrage of attacks, and also has an earthquake effect. Furthermore, its Furious form cannot be interrupted by tail-breaking attacks, cannot be ridden, and will lean against walls, plus it has a beam attack. "Double Lion Furious!"

Charne: "?"

Even as a seasoned and experienced spokesperson, Charné was momentarily at a loss for words.

He understands every single word this guy says, so why is it that when they're put together, he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about?

Could it be some strange dialect of Yan Kingdom?

Unable to understand what Bai Xun was talking about, Charlene could only professionally force a smile and give a formulaic reply.

"Haha, that's really impressive."

Bai Xun continued to laugh.

"It's so-so, but it's not as powerful as my katana."

I really need to go to Sherag sometime to have a proper sparring match with Mace. It would be even better if we could do it in the locker room.

Her level of fitness is already transcending gender and imbued with philosophical depth; it's an experience you absolutely must try.

"Mr. Bai Xun, your strength is evident to all. I even think that your portrait will soon be hanging in this hall full of glory."

Cherny skillfully steered the conversation back on track.

"You are an outstanding knight in both martial arts and character, but you may not know enough about Kazimierz."

"go on."

Having received Bai Xun's permission, Charlene did not refuse and continued,

"You may have some misunderstandings about Kazimierz from some rather... rigid knightly nobles, such as thinking that the current knightly competitions are against tradition and betray honor."

But times have changed; engaging in ancient knightly combat in modern society is outdated and wrong.

"The Commercial Federation has brought prosperity to Kazimierz and injected new vitality into the ancient knightly arena. We support this nation and inherit the ancient glory of the Kingdom of Knights..."

Charner was still proceeding with his speech step by step, but Bai Xun was already getting tired of it and spoke up directly.

"Can we skip this part and fast forward to what you want from me?"

Charlene, whose storyline was skipped by Haku, looked as if he had skipped through his entire life, and his expression was far from pleasant.

He could only lower his head and speak softly.

"The Federation hopes that you can stop your dealings with the Lin Guang family. This era has no need for rigid and inflexible descendants of heroes."

"In exchange, we will meet some of your demands, such as the issue of infected people that you care about most."

According to the Business Federation's intelligence, Bai Xun spent almost all of his prize money on treating the infected in the Great Knight Territory, and had a morbid sense of responsibility for helping others.

He was so kind, he seemed like a knight straight out of a picture book.

Although the Unarmored Alliance provided some special intelligence, the overall situation should not be bad.

Dealing with such "compassionate" individuals requires more than just offering them benefits and honors; it requires negotiating with righteousness, kindness, and the future of those suffering.

"As long as you can sever ties with the Nearl family and accept some additional conditions, the Federation will formally add the Infected Knights Regulations to its agenda. Starting from the next Knights Tournament, Infected Knights may be able to participate openly and legitimately."

As if truly moved, Bai Xun fell silent, and after a long while, she slowly spoke.

"If I agree to your demands, sever ties with the Nearl family, and accept your sponsorship to become a contracted knight, will you really improve the situation of the infected and allow infected knights to participate in knightly competitions?"

Hey, they've taken the bait!

Noticing the change in Bai Xun's attitude, Charlene's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

This is the power of the Federation. Even the strongest knight has something to strive for, and the Commercial Federation can satisfy almost any need of anyone in Kazimierz.

So the era of knights fighting and killing is over. What's the use of being good at fighting? We're all modern people now. The key is to have strength and connections.

"Of course, as the spokesperson for the Federation, I can give you a positive answer, as long as you..."

Charn's voice tinged with a hint of lightness as he prepared to finish yet another task, but his joy was short-lived, lest Bai Xun's completely unexpected answer arrive.

"But, I refuse!"

"What?!!"

Under Charlene's incredulous gaze, Bai Xun shook his head and laughed dismissively.

"You really are so high and mighty. Allowing infected people to participate is just a temporary measure to ease tensions. This decision would have passed regardless of whether I'm involved or not... because you have no other choice."

You must make concessions, otherwise their anger may not be enough to topple this building, but it will be enough to ignite several companies and set off sparks across this Great Knight's Territory.

"As for the Nearl family... you're not surprised that I'm so stupid as to not know that you summoned me here at this time to take advantage of Maria, are you?"

Despite Charlene's somewhat gloomy gaze, Bai Xun remained remarkably calm.

“Tell your masters that people of their rank are not qualified to point fingers at me, otherwise I wouldn’t mind turning this place into a new vassal state of the Great Yan.”

"The Second Dragon Gate might be a good name; consider it a gift from me to my uncle."

Unconcerned about causing trouble for Wei Lao Er, Bai Xun ignored Charney's reaction and walked out of the Business Federation building without looking back, hailing a taxi.

"Master, go to the Howling Arena, take the Golden Feather Avenue."

After saying that, Bai Xun closed her eyes in the back seat.

However, he was not resting with his eyes closed; instead, he sent his spirit to the Howling Arena before his body could.

Even after undergoing joint training with Haku and Zofia, and mastering the PvP god-tier skill "Ring Strike," she had only been training for less than a month, so at most she was only at level 50, not even at Elite 1.

Unfortunately, the values ​​of Corruption and Decay, these two "conjoined twins," far exceed those of Maria, putting her on the verge of defeat.

The exquisite knight's armor was now riddled with cracks, and the decaying black mist seeped into the cracks, consuming the girl's already meager strength. She was even unable to use Originium Arts to heal her injuries, and defeat seemed imminent.

"Well..."

Once again, Maria was sent flying backward by the Corrupt Knight's warhammer. She coughed up blood, gritted her teeth, and got up again.

But the next second, the Wither Knight leaped out of the thick black mist, raising his giant axe high.

"Kasimir guillotine!"

Even before the giant axe fell, the aura of death already enveloped the land.

That was powerful, incredibly powerful, an extremely powerful strike!

A sense of despair rose in Maria's heart. Even when she was at her peak, she had to be careful when facing such an attack, let alone now that she was at her last gasp.

Am I about to collapse?

Under the shadow of death, this thought unconsciously arose in Maria's mind.

Even if she had already pushed herself to her limit, she would never be willing to die here.

Maria wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that her current predicament was due to the Federation targeting her, leaving her alone to face these two powerful knights who should never have appeared in the qualifiers.

They want to destroy themselves, just like they drove their sister away three years ago!

But the more this happened, the less Maria wanted to give up.
