Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 171 The fight begins

As Eli finished speaking, the entire training room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into extremely heated discussions.

"How dare we fight the master in single combat?"

"Even if it's a group fight, it won't work. We can't fight at all!"

"Can you let me summon all the undead creatures first? Eh, it seems to be useless. Even the most undead creatures will die if they touch you."

"Eleanor's hammer is thirsty, but Eleanor doesn't have the confidence to let it drink your blood..."

"My semi-artifact is used to kill enemies, not to set off fireworks. It can't move at all."

When all the beautiful girls heard what Eli said, they waved their hands and said it was impossible.

What is your strength, Eli? You are able to slaughter the devil and kill the great devil.

No matter how powerful we are, even if we were all tied together we would all be slaughtered by the Demon King.

How to fight this? It's clearly asking for trouble. Not to mention those who have never fought with Eli, even Jessica and Cecilia who used to practice with Eli often don't want to fight him anymore.

It's really boring to fight with an opponent who can't even rub off his hair or break his skin. It's better to fight with him on the bed. If you're lucky, you can bite off a few of his hairs...

"I won't use my full strength when sparring with you. I will fight you with the strength of a beginner in the Saint Rank."

Eli saw the reactions of the beautiful girls and added.

It would be meaningless for Eli in his prime to practice with them, as he could just kill one kid with one punch, but it was just right to suppress his strength to the level of a beginner in the Saint rank.

The real combat power of Jessica and Cecilia is now approaching the peak of the ninth level, and is getting closer to the semi-saint. Together, the two of them can completely match the semi-saint. Coupled with Princess Lina, who has endless props and masters holy weapons and even semi-divine weapons, the three of them together can challenge the real saint.

What's more, there are Eleanor and Evelyn. The former is a powerful warrior born with supernatural powers and holding a semi-artifact war hammer, and the latter is also quite good at necromancy. At least there is no shortage of cannon fodder.

If these five of them join forces, they may not be invincible, but at least they will not be defeated by ordinary Saints. Of course, this is only limited to one Saint.

Although Jessica and Cecilia are strong, they are not able to reach the level of saints. They can fight against weaker saints but cannot withstand many blows.

Although Princess Lina and Eleanor possess magical weapons, their own strength is too weak, only level seven. Semi-artifacts cannot exert their full power in their hands. Although they should not be underestimated, they do not need to be taken too seriously either.

As for Evelyn... I still say the same thing, with her around, there's no shortage of cannon fodder.

Eli suppressed his strength to the level of a beginner in the Saint rank in order to hone them, and he was thick-skinned and not afraid of being accidentally injured by them. In order to make them stronger, Eli did not hesitate to turn himself into a sandbag to be ravaged by them. He really loved them.

"If you just enter the Saint level..."

Cecilia glanced at Princess Lina and saw her nod. Then she continued, "You can give it a try."

Others didn't know Eli very well, but Cecilia was different. She was very familiar with her master.

It is said that his strength is suppressed to the initial saint level, but the flesh on his body will not become soft. The master's physical strength alone is enough to make all their attacks fail, so there is still no way they can be defeated.

But compared to defense, if the master limits the means and power of attack to those who have just entered the Saint level, it can indeed hone them. Apart from practicing with each other, they do lack a strong opponent.

Before, there were powerful demons on the battlefield to "practice with" them, and actual combat is the best way to hone one's character. But now that they are back home, they no longer have opponents who can let them do whatever they want without worrying about accidentally hurting or even killing them. They do feel that their progress has slowed down a lot.

It was good that there was a master who was willing to suppress his strength and practice against them. Although the master could not give them the real sense of death pressure like the demon enemies, it was still better than them practicing against each other.

After all, their strengths are somewhat uneven, and there's even a cheater among them, so there's no point in them fighting each other.

"You agree now? Even if he just entered the Saint Rank, we can't beat him."

Eleanor had already taken out her war hammer and smashed it on the ground, but she was still saying words that would boost others' morale and destroy her own prestige.

No matter what, she is just a seventh-level warrior. Although she has the ability to fight beyond her level, it depends on how many levels she wants to surpass. She can beat an eighth-level warrior, and even beat him to death. She dares to touch a ninth-level warrior and can guarantee that she will not die.

But as for the holy level... I'm sorry, Eleanor can't do it.

"It's okay, you can try."

Before Cecilia, who represented their agreement, could speak, Princess Lina, who had been Eleanor's roommate, spoke first.

She took out a number of colorful props from her storage equipment. If they were used against Eli, no matter how high-quality the magic props were, they would be useless. She had to start with the holy weapon.

"With these, I can fight him for a while."

Princess Lina fiddled with the holy vessels scattered on the ground, leaving everyone else stunned.

So you used water when you bullied us yesterday... No, you used the sea. Judging from the amazing energy fluctuations emitted by these things, if you had used them yesterday, they might have had to go back on their stomachs.

"That's right, don't be afraid, we are here!" At this time, Cecilia also burst out with amazing momentum, and her aura had already faintly exceeded the scope of the ninth level. If her strength yesterday was close to the peak of the ninth level, then now she has even surpassed the peak of the ninth level. It is not an exaggeration to call her a half-saint.

Although Jessica, who was standing beside her, was silent, the aura she exuded was no weaker than that of Cecilia. She was also a powerful warrior who was close to being a semi-saint.

"What did you guys eat? We haven't seen each other for just one day!"

Eleanor held the hammer with a look of surprise on her face. She couldn't believe that Jessica and Cecilia had become so powerful in just one night. This speed of improvement was simply... No, it couldn't be called improvement, it could only be called taking off.

In fact, let alone Eleanor, even Eli was shocked by the two of them. Although with Eli's insight, the strength of the people around him was transparent to him, but who would spy on other people's strength anytime and anywhere? Eli did not expect that after one night, Jessica and Cecilia had progressed to this point.

"This is what the master said, 'knowing shame leads to courage'. I was so upset after losing to Lina yesterday, so I must become stronger..."

Cecilia took out her knight's lance and stood on the ground, talking about the reasons why she became stronger, but it didn't make sense no matter how she listened to it. If losing a game could make one stronger, then wouldn't the last-place finishers in every competition have to win the Most Improved Award?

"I'm not convinced. I need to become stronger and fight again."

Jessica's words were much more concise, but the meaning was almost the same as Cecilia's. It seemed that they were really stimulated after losing, so they became furious and became stronger.

"It's not fair! You must have been eating good food behind Eleanor's back! If all of you are doing such a big deal, then won't Eleanor always be at the bottom?"

After hearing Cecilia's explanation and Jessica's honest words, Eleanor was completely unwilling to believe it. She was weaker than the two of them, and it was even more impossible for her to be a match for the treasure master Princess Lina. She even lost to Evelin yesterday...

She was already at the bottom of the list, and now people who were stronger than her were improving faster than her, so did she still have a chance to turn things around? It couldn't be that she could only beat one Alyssa with all the people put together, right?
Eleanor's angry words sounded a bit unreasonable, but in fact they pointed directly to the truth. Among all the people present, she was the only one who had not taken the little blue pill, so it was natural that her progress was the slowest.

"It's okay. Eleanor just needs to take care of the cuteness, and leave the fierceness to us."

Cecilia showed off the muscles on her arms as she spoke, but unfortunately, her figure was very slim and well-proportioned, and her shoulders could not even bulge with flesh.

"I'm the big sister! How can you be so weak! If you have something good, Eli, you have to give some to Eleanor. At most, Eleanor will give you a hug and a pat on the head."

Don't be fooled by Eleanor's silly and cute appearance, she is actually very smart. Although she doesn't know how Cecilia and Jessica became stronger so quickly, she participated in Princess Lina's previous breakthrough to a higher level. Although Eli got away with it at that time, she felt more and more that something was wrong the more she thought about it afterwards.

In addition, Jessica and Cecilia, who have been with him since childhood, are so strong that it is a bit against the rules. How can Eleanor not suspect that Eli has good treasures and does not share them with her?

Eleanor even guessed the reason why Eli didn't give her good things. It must be because Eleanor was not his woman. Eli was a typical guy who valued women over friends and only gave good things to his woman!
Eleanor also wanted to become stronger quickly, but if the price was to give herself to him, then forget it. She would never like someone as hateful as Eli. At most, Eleanor could entertain people with her cuteness, but never with her beauty!
So facing Eli, who values ​​women over friends and is extremely stingy with outsiders, Eleanor can only accept hugs and pats on the head at most, and can't even think about anything more.

"No one says that the older you are, the stronger you must be. Look at the saints on the battlefield. They are all much older than me. How can any of them be stronger than me?"

Eli said as he bent down and patted Eleanor's shoulder. Before Eleanor became close to him, Eli would not give her the little blue pill. Although Eleanor looked cute and well-behaved now, Eli was familiar with her personality in her previous life. This girl had a stubborn temper, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change her mind.

It is extremely difficult to make her change her mind if she says she doesn't want to be with him. So even though Eleanor has talents that are no less than Jessica and Cecilia, Eli is not in a hurry to train her. This cute little stubborn donkey needs to be trained slowly.

"You meanie! Eleanor doesn't like you anymore! Come on, Eleanor is going to flatten you!"

As the youngest sister of the group, it was bad enough that she was bullied by her younger sisters, but now Eli also came to tease her. This was something that neither her uncle nor her aunt could tolerate.

Now that Jessica and Cecilia have completed their evolution, they can stand on their own together. Princess Lina has also generously spent her vast fortune, and Eleanor is eager to fight. As long as Evelyn has no objection, they can go to war with Eli.

If you ask Evelyn if she has any opinion, she certainly doesn't care. After all, she is not the one carrying the load in the front, she is not the one responsible for output, and she is not even the one who is most vulnerable to being beaten. What opinion can she have? Just fight. It just so happens that she was missing during the previous training on the battlefield, so now is the perfect time to make up for it.

"Now that we've agreed, let's get started. You can go all out. I'm pretty tough, so don't worry about getting hurt."

Eli patted his chest and said that he had no pressure at all in a sparring match of this level, it all depended on how well they could perform.

As they talked, several people walked onto the stage. The stage, which was originally used for one-on-one fights, did not seem crowded at all even with so many people on the field at the same time. After all, the attack range of high-level warriors was very large, and this point was taken into consideration when the stage was designed. Therefore, the entire stage was very large and spacious, and could even accommodate Evelyn's corpses, let alone the mere six of them.

"Then I won't be polite! Master, watch out!"

Now that Eli's identity has changed from a referee to a contestant, it is naturally not his turn to shout "start", so the alert Cecilia suddenly launched an attack as soon as everyone came on stage. It couldn't be considered a sneak attack, after all, she did shout it out loud.

As Cecilia finished her words, a knight's lance and a broadsword attacked almost at the same time. Cecilia and Jessica cooperated very well, and they did not need to rehearse in advance. The two of them were able to complete the most detailed and perfect joint attack.

If it were any other ordinary Saint-level warrior, being attacked by two Half-Step Half-Saints in this way, they would be forced to retreat in a mess even if they were not injured. But unfortunately, their opponent was Eli, who was very familiar to them. Although the combined attack of the two was swift and powerful, it was still easily blocked by Eli.

When fighting with them, Eli would certainly not use his invincible battle axe, as that would be a bit too bullying. Anyway, with their strength and weapons, they could not break his defense, so Eli simply used his physical body to fight them head-on.

Eli caught the tip of Cecilia's spear with his left hand, and Jessica's broadsword was smashed away by his right hand. The sudden attacks from the two were easily taken by Eli, who seemed to have eyes all over his body. It was not until this time that Eleanor's hammer arrived.

"Look at Eleanor squashing you!"

Eleanor swung the hammer and uttered harsh words, but unfortunately, although she was born with supernatural powers, she was still far from being as strong as Eli if she were to compete with him.

Although Eli suppressed his strength to the level of just entering the Saint Rank as promised, the power he possessed when he was in the Saint Rank was completely unmatched by Eleanor now. Every time Eleanor smashed down with her hammer, it would be violently pushed away by Eli, and the recoil force would cause Eleanor to stagger around like a rag doll swaying in the wind.
