One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

Bai Ye had been busy dealing with Tianyin Shinomiya, and had forgotten about this matter - Stella arrived at the arena, defeated four opponents in a one-on-one battle, and announced her return in a high-profile manner.

Because of this, some contestants in Zone B withdrew, and Stella's number of matches was suddenly reduced.

Extracting the key points from the complicated memories, Bai Ye couldn't help but turn his head to look at Stella.

"Bai Ye, what are you looking at me for?"

"Your perception has become much sharper."

Bai Ye simply smiled indifferently at this. He looked at Kagami and said, "It's quite troublesome to explain. Kagami, you should handle this as a professional."

"understand!"

Kagami was very lively. She pushed her round glasses and began to explain to everyone:

"The Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival is a student festival, so commercial activities are prohibited. However, the battles between the swordsmen, the rental fees for the venue, and the repair costs for damaged facilities..."

"It's expensive anyway. Generally speaking, the operator will... (omitted)"

“But this year is different.”

— Stella was a huge favorite, and the organizers and sponsors had invested a lot of money. But now that the number of performances has been cut, the return is less!

"That's right, that's why the schedule was shortened."

Bai Ye snapped his fingers and summarized everything. "As long as the schedule is shortened, the originally scheduled final day will be free, and we can add a separate exhibition match."

"Stella, you should be able to understand, the so-called exhibition match is specially prepared for you."

"..."

There was silence.

Stella was speechless because she understood. Two matches in one day was really disadvantageous to Ikki - his big move was on CD.

"I'll leave this to you."

At this time, Bai Ye patted Yihui's shoulder, leaned down slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Following closely, Bronya also said her goodbyes to everyone and left the venue.

……

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I heard that you really caught up with that Biyi?"

On the way back, a petite figure rushed over and hung on Bai Ye without any hesitation.

"Ningyin, long time no see."

Bai Ye didn't even need to look back. He patted the pair of small hands around his neck and said jokingly like a friend, "Besides, you're the only one still single this time..."

"Click——"

A surge of gravity crushed the pavement beneath Bai Ye's feet. Ning Yin seemed to be emitting a dark aura, a pair of pitch-black ghost horns faintly visible on her forehead. "Xiao~Bai~ did you say anything just now?"

"Ahem, speaking of which, where is the chairman?" Bai Ye coughed twice, and then turned the topic to Heino.

"You mean Xiao Hei..."

Ning Yin unconsciously raised her head and looked towards the competition venue.

"...Okay, I think I know."

Although some of today's matches were relatively restrained, there were also many big moments. As a time-based ability user, Kurono's task is very heavy.

"The chairman is really working hard."

Bai Ye sighed, then stretched his shoulders, "It's almost time to get down, Ning Yin. It won't be good if someone sees us."

"It's just gossip, I'm used to it. What's the matter, Xiaobai, are you scared?"

"What do you say?"

Bai Ye turned his head slightly, then realized he was too close, almost feeling her breath. He turned back silently, "Although Xiao Ai has a good temper, but..."

"Zheng——"

At this point, Bai Ye stretched out his tone, then swung his right palm into a knife, accompanied by a sound of breaking wind, "Winged Sword Warning, you understand."

emmm...

For a moment, Ning Yin was a little stiff.

She didn't say anything, and silently got down from Bai Ye's shoulder, "I have to admit, Xiaobai, you are really brave."

"Haha, you're just misled by the so-called rumors. Xiao Ai is actually a very cute girl. As for her courage..."

Bai Ye paused, then turned his gaze towards Ning Yin with a smile, "This is just the beginning~"

"Qiang——!"

Ning Yin revealed her spiritual attire, the Scarlet Phoenix, and collided with Bai Ye's Vientiane, emitting crimson sparks. For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked. "It seems Xiaobai hasn't retreated either..."

"When Xiaobai defeats me, we can talk about this topic again."

Ning Yin exerted force with her slender forearms and swung Bai Ye away. "Speaking of which..."

"You don't even avoid little Nia when doing this kind of thing, emmm... Xiaobai, you two are not having an affair, are you?" Ning Yin glanced at Bronya, her tone a little uncertain.

"That depends on what you think, Ningyin~"

In response to this, Bai Ye did not choose to give a direct answer, but instead left room for Ning Yin's imagination.

"Then, Teacher Ning Yin, we'll leave first." Bronya also said hello to Ning Yin and left with Bai Ye.

……

Next, the sword fighting competition was in full swing. Bronya and Stella quickly emerged from the A and B zones.

As for Area C, Ikki also successfully defeated Sarah and Shinomiya Amane.

Sarah's "Fantasy Caricature" once depicted the figure of the two wings, which once suppressed Ikki so much that he could not get up. But in the end, Ikki surpassed himself and won the game.

Then there is Tianyin.

At the beginning, he self-destructed, explained the nature of his ability as a swordsman, and gave Ikki a "blessing." This was what Tianyin had originally planned.

But… maybe because he was taught a lesson by Bai Ye and received some real affirmation from him, he didn't go too far this time, and they still fought in the end.

As expected, Shinomiya Tianyin lost. Furthermore, he seemed to understand what Bai Ye had said:

——Maybe there is someone who can give you salvation, but that person is destined not to be me.

The person who could give him salvation... was Kurogane Ikki. After looking at Ikki deeply, Shinomiya Tianyin fell down.

At this point, only the final Group D remains - Kurogane Ouma VS Byakuya!

"First up, alongside Bronya, is Byakuya, the 'White Lightning' of the 'Twins of Lightning'!!!"

"Previously, Bai Ye always won the game with a mighty thunder."

"Even after so many matches, everything about Bai Ye seems to still be shrouded in mystery."

"But with Bronya ahead of him, we can predict that White Night will definitely be no pushover. So, will he be able to demonstrate his true strength in this match?"

Amidst thunderous cheers, suddenly, a real thunder roared, and a blazing white lightning fell on the playing field.

Bai Ye was dressed in a smart outfit... a white T-shirt, a pair of black slim trousers, and a black robe. He looked full of energy.

"And then there's Kurogane Ouma!!!"

"Having crushed everyone all the way, Kurogane Ouma undoubtedly possesses absolute strength!"

"But this time, facing the unfathomable Bai Ye, can Kurogane Ouma continue his winning streak?!"

Wearing a black kimono with long hems swaying with every step, Kurogane Ouma walked slowly towards him.

(After reading the original novel, I could have written an introduction to Kurogane Ouma, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. It would only be a waste of words, so I'll just skip it.)

64. You did it, Wang Ma

At the signal to begin the match, Ouma took the lead. As the wind howled, a large sword appeared in his hand. "Enough of the small talk, let's get started."

"Such a strong murderous aura..." Despite saying this, Bai Ye still looked calm.

A Tang sword fell into his palm, and Bai Ye casually danced with it. "Want to compete?"

boom--! ! !

An invisible murderous aura raged, briefly overpowering Ouma's side. This was even more intense than the Bronya match! Not only the audience, but even the commentators were silent.

This game no longer needs any reporting.

"Hahaha, that's how it is..."

Wang Ma's entire body trembled with excitement. This overwhelming murderous aura finally piqued his interest in conversation. "It seems this fight will be more interesting than I imagined."

"That's right. We're not interested in the championship anyway, are we? Why not decide the winner here?"

"Right on my mind!"

"..."

After a brief exchange, Ouma and Byakuya fell silent. Raging magic surged, storms and lightning intertwined.

Just a clash of momentum was enough for the playing field to break open and crack.

"Zheng——"

The Odachi Dragon Claw tore through the atmosphere, and an invisible vacuum blade was formed, flying towards Bai Ye at a high speed.

Immediately afterwards, a storm that almost blew up the venue was condensed and compressed by Wang Ma on the blade.

Of course, he knew very well that although the vacuum blade was sharp, it was not a threat to Bai Ye at all.

That was just a greeting, his real starting move was this - Broken Moon Dragon Claw!

The air was shaking, the earth was trembling, and the hurricane sword that devoured everything appeared and slashed down at Bai Ye fiercely.

"Are you going to fight? Very good, I'll accompany you."

On the other side, Bai Ye shattered the attacking vacuum blade with one sword, completely effortlessly, and it was not even a warm-up.

Facing the falling Wind Sword, Bai Ye also responded—blazing white lightning flashed and gathered on the blade of Wanxiang, "What should this move be called?"

"Never mind, whatever~"

He thought about it for a moment, but gave up because it was too much trouble. Bai Ye swung his sword from bottom to top, and the blazing white lightning formed a beam of light cannon to meet it head-on, "Wanxiang, push it back!"

"boom--!!!"

There was a deafening roar. Storm and thunder intertwined, colliding to create a blast that swept towards the audience.

"It's a little too much."

Bronya spoke calmly from her seat, extending a hand toward the competition venue... With the assistance of the heavily armored Bunny, an invisible magnetic field spread out, suppressing the aftermath of the battle.

This is just the aftermath!

Under the deliberate guidance of Bai Ye and Wang Ma, an extremely terrifying beam of magic power shot up into the sky, dispersing the clouds in the sky.

really…

At the moment of collision, Wang Ma knew that the Broken Moon Sky Dragon Claw could not hurt the opponent. So the next moment, he quickly pursued Bai Ye.

"Qiang——!"

A Tang sword lay across.

Obviously, with Bai Ye's rich combat experience, he naturally blocked Wang Ma's slash. "Not bad, the timing was perfect."

Bai Ye slightly deflected the blade. Sparks flew, and he slashed along along Ouma's large sword.

"Zheng——"

With a slight sound, the blade missed.

Wang Ma leaned back, avoiding the blow. Then, he counterattacked... Wang Ma held the knife in his right hand, freeing his left hand to clench his fist, and struck hard on the back of the Dragon Claw.

——Rising Sun Isshinryu·The Ultimate Strength·Fire Thunder!

It wasn't pure brute force, but rather a special technique for exerting force. The dragon claws, carrying the force of a raging wind, slashed down fiercely at Bai Ye.
