Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 11: Easy Victory, Legend of Moonlight

The moment Moonbeam's Thunder Wings unfurled, an eerie silence fell over the entire Holy Alliance arena.

Duan Yi's hand, gripping the greatsword, trembled slightly, while the Golden Horned Mammoth nervously pawed at the ground with its hooves.

The crowd in the stands seemed to be collectively petrified, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Holy crap! It's lightning!"

"Is that the main point? Those are spirit wings! A sixth-tier mark! This guy's here to wreck the fishpond!"

"Mom, look! There are fairies!"

In the competition area of ​​the Magic Temple, several contestants had their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an entire egg.

They finally understood why Moonbeam hadn't used a single spell in the qualifiers—it wasn't that he couldn't, but that they simply weren't worthy!

"We actually laughed at him for being a fake mage." A fourth-tier mage covered his face and squatted down. "Thinking about it now, I'm so ashamed I want to crawl into a hole!"

on the rostrum.

Long Tianyin slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "Li Zhengzhi! You old fox, you tricked me!"

“Lord Long, you are mistaken,” Li Zhengzhi said slowly, stroking his beard and smiling until his eyes narrowed into slits. “The bet was made by mutual consent. When have I ever forced you?”

In truth, given Long Tianyin's status, while a seventh-tier magic crystal is precious, it wouldn't warrant such a loss of composure.

What truly shocked him was that a sixth-tier powerhouse had appeared in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, which was restricted to those under twenty-five!
Throughout the Holy Alliance's six-thousand-year history, those who have broken through to the sixth rank before the age of twenty-five can be counted on one hand.

Ling Xiao stared at the figure wreathed in lightning in the arena, and suddenly realized: "You, Li Zhengzhi! No wonder you insisted on using the Lightning Element Wisdom Furnace as the reward, you had it all planned out all along!"

"Hehe." Li Zhengzhi laughed so hard his beard trembled.

Lightning-type spiritual power and sixth-level cultivation—either one of these would be enough to shake the Holy Alliance.

Now all of this is concentrated on one person, which is an unprecedented feat in the entire history of the league!
...

Ignoring the commotion outside, Yuehui focused all her attention on the Thunder Sword in her hand.

The gem on the hilt greedily absorbed his spiritual power, and streaks of lightning snaked across the blade, emitting a chilling crackling sound.

"Brother Duan Yi, take this!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi felt a pang of anxiety, but the honor of being a guardian knight kept him from retreating an inch.

"The Holy Shield!"

He roared, and the heavy shield instantly burst into a dazzling golden light.
"Holy Light Shield!"

A dual defense was formed instantly.

The knights watching couldn't help but nod in approval—this was the strongest defense a fifth-tier guardian knight could unleash.

"Thunder Seal·Rage Strike!"

Where the Moonlight Sword pointed, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket burst forth.

Amidst the deafening explosion, the lightning pierced through the double defenses like a hot knife through butter, its remaining force striking Duan Yi.

"Ugh!"

Duan Yi trembled violently, and lightning crackled across his armor.

The intense numbness made his movements sluggish, and his shield-wielding arm trembled uncontrollably, yet he still gritted his teeth and refused to fall.

"Golden-horned Mammoth, Stomp!" Duan Yi gritted his teeth and issued the command, enduring the numbness.

"Moo-!"

The level six peak magical beast let out a deafening roar, raised its forelimbs high, and stomped down on the moon with immense force.

A massive shadow descended, and the ground trembled slightly under the force of the stomp.

"Thunder Lock!"

Moonlight lightly stomped her left foot, and countless electric snakes instantly surged out from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into dozens of dazzling lightning chains, binding the enormous beast tightly.

The violent lightning continued to erode the chains, causing the golden-horned mammoth to let out a painful howl, its fur standing on end. Duan Yi watched this scene, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

He clearly sensed that Moonbeam hadn't even used half of his strength, and had dismantled his entire attack with just two spells.

(Is this the difference between the sixth and sixth orders?)
"I concede." Duan Yi put away the heavy shield, his voice hoarse but firm.

Upon hearing this, Moonbeam immediately dispelled all her magic and solemnly performed a mage's salute.

Despite the ache and numbness in his muscles, Duan Yi returned the knightly salute with utmost care.

“Brother Moonbeam,” Duan Yi suddenly smiled, his eyes devoid of any trace of defeat, “I look forward to teaming up with you.”

"A group?" Yuehui was slightly taken aback.

He secretly observed the knight who was not discouraged by defeat.

To be fair, a Tier 5 Guardian Knight is indeed a rare teammate in the eyes of others.

But in his heart, among this year's contestants, perhaps only Long Haochen and Cai'er, who are also favored by the gods, are qualified to walk alongside him.

"If there's a chance," Yuehui smiled politely, then left the competition venue amidst the complicated gazes of the crowd.

……

With Moonbeam displaying overwhelming strength, his opponents in subsequent matches all chose to concede defeat, allowing him to advance easily.

This, in turn, gave Yuehui the opportunity to observe other matches.

The most ridiculous thing was the duel between Sima Xian and Lin Xin.

The violent priest carrying a giant iron staff chased Lin Xin all over the field, the staff slamming against the protective shield with loud bangs.

As Lin Xin scurried away, he couldn't resist showing off: "I have medicine! I have medicine!"

Ten minutes later, he was automatically declared the winner due to the rules of the priest's profession, which made him so angry that he jumped up and down.

Another dramatic match came from the third division.

A petite summoner forcibly cast the seventh-tier skill "Gate of Life," only to summon a level two monster.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she dejectedly jumped off the stage, leaving her opponent bewildered in the wind.

Cai'er's performance was nothing short of an art form.

Every move he made was precise and deadly, his greyish-white eyes always calm as still water.

Often, before her opponent can even react, her dagger is already pressed against a vital spot.

This decisive and efficient fighting style captivated Moonbeam.

...

"The competition ended so quickly?" Cai'er had just finished her own competition and keenly sensed a familiar presence, so she couldn't help but wrinkle her small nose.

Yuehui skillfully took her hand and guided her to sit beside him: "There's nothing I can do, my opponents just admit defeat as soon as they see me." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Sixth-tier strength is indeed an insurmountable gap," Cai'er said softly.

After hearing about Yuehui's true cultivation level these past few days, she was deeply shaken.

Despite being only a few months older than me, their strength is already far ahead.

(We must not let him leave us too far behind)

Beneath the veil, the girl gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashing in her gray eyes.

Just then, a new pair of competitors stepped onto the ring.

Moonlight's gaze was instantly drawn to the young knight in the arena—the man had black hair and blue eyes, his handsome face shone brightly in the sunlight, and he exuded an aura of righteousness with every gesture.

(This must be Long Haochen, right?) Yuehui nodded to herself. (No wonder he has Fengxiu's genes; his looks are almost as good as mine!)

When his gaze shifted to the other side, he saw a valiant female warrior carrying a giant tower shield taller than herself in one hand, with the other hand casually resting on her waist.

(That must be Wang Yuanyuan, right?) Yuehui's lips curled into a slight smile. (An axe warrior disguised as a shield warrior!)
