Abnormal Moon

Li Shenhua's lips twitched several times, and his eyes gradually became angry.

"Alright, go out now!"

At that moment, Fan Xinglu's voice suddenly came from the head of the table.

Li Shenhua was furious and wanted to say something, but upon hearing Fan Xinglu's voice, he had no choice but to swallow his words and his indignation.

He glared at Roy, then the brother and sister bowed to Fan Xinglu and left Huangchen Hall.

"That's enough for today's battle, Chaofeng, come with me."

After the two left, Luo Yi and Wu Xiaohui practiced for a while. It wasn't until evening that Fan Xinglu stood up from the table and lazily stretched.

Luo Yi came to Fan Xinglu and disappeared from Huangchen Palace in the blink of an eye.

In the redevelopment zone, in another abandoned building, different from the last one.

"Roy, you are not allowed to use weapons or the Star Power Burst technique in tomorrow's match. You are also not allowed to ask that little girl for help. Naturally, you cannot use your Magic Eye or Rune Techniques."

Fan Xinglu looked at Luo Yi, who was changing clothes, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Upon hearing this, Roy stopped changing his clothes immediately.

He glanced at Fan Xinglu with a speechless expression.

Good heavens, so this was where he was waiting!

That's right, Li Shenhua and Li Shenyun's opponents tomorrow are Roy and Claudia.

"Is this what you call 'having your own agenda'?"

"That's right!"

Fan Xinglu nodded with an air of matter-of-fact compliment.

"Are those two disciples so favored by you?"

Roy rolled his eyes. He didn't think those two disciples were that outstanding either. Was it worth Fan Xinglu restricting him so much just to help them win?

"What if I still win despite all these restrictions?"

To be fair, although the two siblings were not weak, they were not strong enough in his eyes!

He could accept the current restrictions, but if Fan Xinglu wanted to restrict him further, he had no intention of agreeing.

"Kid, sometimes you can be quite slow on the uptake."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xinglu suddenly sighed and looked at him with a strangely loving gaze.

"Winning would be the best outcome!"

After speaking, she waved her hand, removed the dark barrier that had been set up around them, and disappeared in a flash.

Roy paused for a moment, walked out of the abandoned building, and it took him a while to react.

"Okay, so it was for my own good!"

He was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I have absolutely no motivation to add more chapters. Should we lower the bar for adding more chapters?

Chapter 226 The Creation of Illusion and the Dissipation of Illusionary Mist

"It's finally here! The first match of the semi-finals! Every match from today onwards will be a climax. Which of the eight teams that have won all the way to this point will stand out in this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, which is full of top players, and become the champion? The answer will be revealed in the next three days of matches!"

"Alright, the two teams for the first semi-final match are about to enter the arena: Roy & Claudia from Seidoukan Academy, and Li Shenhua & Li Shenyun from Jielong Academy. Which team will advance to the semi-finals today? Please stay tuned!"

On the stage, which was under the spotlight of countless spotlights, four contestants from two teams walked out through the east and west doors.

The moment the contestant stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Is this really okay?"

Claudia looked at Roy with a look of inquiry on her face.

"Although the twins weren't particularly strong, their tactics were either despicable or ingenious. In any case, they were very good at and liked to relentlessly attack other people's weaknesses. If you accidentally revealed a flaw, you would be met with a head-on attack."

"give it to me."

Roy smiled at her, a confident smile on his face.

"Then we'll wait for your good news."

Claudia smiled, pursing her lips.

Roy planned to fight the twin siblings of the World Dragon with only half his own strength, and he wouldn't let her interfere. Even though Claudia knew that Roy was extremely powerful, she felt that doing so was too risky. But since Roy insisted, he must have his reasons. She didn't need to doubt him; she just needed to stand behind him and support him.

"Oh my god! What's going on? Roy isn't carrying a weapon?"

Just then, the sharp-eyed announcer noticed that Roy's waist was empty and let out an inexplicable scream.

A murmur of surprise arose from all sides of the audience, and waves of doubt spread throughout the stands.

"Roy is a swordsman, right? Is it really okay for him not to bring a weapon? Did he forget to bring it?"

"It's hard to say he didn't do it on purpose in such a serious setting. I don't understand why he didn't carry a weapon either. Maybe there's some deeper reason... But he's very strong. Even without a weapon, he's still top-tier. However, it's undeniable that the two opponents will have a huge advantage!"

In the field.

Li Shenhua and Li Shenyun had been on edge ever since they entered the stage, but when they saw Luo Yi come onto the stage looking relaxed, their faces lit up with joy.

To date, Roy's close combat has always been accompanied by a knife-type weapon. Because each battle ends quickly, no one knows exactly how good his swordsmanship is. But it is undeniable that he is definitely more skilled in swordsmanship than in unarmed combat. Without a weapon, his threat level is reduced by 30%.

Then they saw that Claudia, the Thousand-Eyed Alliance Leader, who was already formidable but had now become even stronger and posed a great threat, was standing at the back and had no intention of stepping forward. It was as if she was saying that only Roy could defeat them in this battle. The two of them couldn't suppress their smiles.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and immediately understood that this was probably what their master had meant yesterday by having their own plans.

Although I don't know how my master did it, it's great to be able to take advantage of this opportunity!

"It seems we can really expect to see the championship contender defeated!"

A cruel yet excited smile appeared on Li Shenhua's face, and Li Shenyun's expression was no less intense.

Upon hearing this, Roy smiled calmly.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true!"

The brother and sister were both stunned for a moment.

That smug tone sounds familiar, doesn't it?

"The first match of the quarterfinals begins!"

The school badges worn on the chests of the four students flashed red simultaneously, and a mechanical voice announced the start of the competition.

The brother and sister snapped out of their daze and stopped thinking about it. The moment the competition started, they both waved their long sleeves, and a large number of spells flew out of their sleeves one after another.

As soon as the talisman emerged from his sleeve, it immediately flew to the middle of the two sides. It was probably to prevent Roy from launching an amazing attack at the start and to create an obstacle. So, it arranged itself in the air like migratory birds during the migration season.

Roy neither confirmed nor denied their wariness, finding it merely amusing.

Thinking that such defenses could stop him is too naive. If he really wanted to launch a preemptive attack at the start, they wouldn't be able to stop him at all, given the speed at which they set up their formation. Even if they had already set up a complete rune array, if he used his star power to protect himself and force his way through to behead them, it wouldn't be something the brother and sister could withstand.

However, Roy did not make a move. He simply stood there calmly, waiting patiently, as if he were magnanimously allowing the two to finish setting up their formation before engaging him in combat.

"Hurry up and obey the order!"

"Boom!"

The brother and sister didn't think much of it. Seeing Roy standing there motionless, they assumed he was stumped by the talisman array. They both smiled triumphantly and then made a hand seal.

The talismans placed in mid-air exploded in an instant, a series of flashes of fire appeared frequently, and thick black smoke quickly covered the entire venue, obscuring the view of everyone present, not only Roy and his companion, but also the audience.

"What the hell is going on! Get the smoke screen off right now!"

"That's right! We paid for this, how could we be shown this kind of scene!"

Before Roy in the arena could react, shouts and curses erupted from the audience, growing louder and louder, spreading like wildfire.

"Well, the Star Martial Arts Charter stipulates that neither side can obstruct the audience's view for an extended period of time; otherwise, it will be considered a foul. Li Shenhua and Li Shenyun, if you two don't find a way to remove the smoke screen, you may be disqualified!"

Seeing the growing dissatisfaction from the audience, Liang Se Mizi, who was on the commentary platform, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly issued a warning to the stage via the loudspeaker.

On stage, Roy didn't feel anything was wrong. His keen ears could hear people running around in the smoke, and with a slight twitch of his nose, he could also smell that the gunpowder in the air had long since dissipated. This smoke screen was probably a smokescreen created by the brother and sister using their abilities. Presumably, the two were taking advantage of the smoke screen to make their move.

However, the Star Martial Festival is not just a combat competition, but also a variety show. If the conglomerates want to use the Star Martial Festival to make money, they will cover the entire venue with smoke so that the audience can't see anything. This is not allowed by the conglomerates and is even written into the Star Martial Charter. In serious cases, they may even be disqualified.

"Viewers these days are getting less and less patient!"

"I can't see through any of the techniques that make the game more exciting!"

The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of the twin brother and sister.

No, it wasn't the brother and sister, but Li Shenhua alone.

More precisely, it was Li Shenhua and four others.

Five Li Shenhuas appeared on the stage, each looking exactly the same, with no discernible difference in appearance. Each of them struck a different pose and smiled, as if several identical clones had been created. Li Shenyun had disappeared without a trace.

Li Shenhua, who had been cautious at the start of the match, now wore an arrogant and smug smile, as if victory was already in his grasp, his demeanor exuding arrogance.
