The crowd around the stone platform in the inner circle was getting denser and denser.

Lilisse and her opponent was a Fighter 4-rank student who first appeared in the first round of the entrance exam for the first time this year, even in the past several hundred years.

As such, it was already extremely interesting.

Lilisse's expression remained cold the entire time.

Her opponent looked gloomy.

This added an extremely good gimmick to the already attractive match, causing people to become even more excited as they discussed about it.

The referee was an old man with a short, grizzled beard. The old man solemnly announced the rules of the duel he had written: no one is allowed to kill, no one is allowed to stop attacking, and so on. Only after that did he signal for the match to begin.

Neither of them had acted immediately.

Lilisse held a pair of daggers made of fine iron in her hands, naturally drooping down. Her right leg slightly bent forward, and her body leaned forward in a strange stance.

The tall, skinny, gloomy boy opposite her took out a thin, light gray sword. The thin sword was pointing to the ground, and its tip was slightly trembling. It was actually a flexible sword.

"I didn't expect that I would be ranked in the first round," the gloomy-faced man mocked the white-bearded referee, "Do you think I'm the weakest among them?"

Lilisse frowned, this opponent doesn't place her in his eyes at all.

"And my opponent is actually a little maid like you?!" The gloomy man continued his argument, "What? Do you think you can make it through the first round? "Hahaha, I am one of the true seeded contestants. A lucky maid like you is but a stepping stone for me to walk straight into the academy, and serve as a foil. Sigh, my opponent isn't here, so you should just admit defeat."

Link frowned.

He is one of the top five star seeded contestants of the year listed in the war gambling den, and also the bear strength rank 4 fire element warrior from the imperial capital, Sinistre, 17 years old this year, "Xue'er added from the side. She knew that Lin Ke did not read the booklet carefully," The booklet records his experience of defeating the older level 4 bear strength opponent many times, and his popularity among the star contestants is extremely high, only second to Martin, who is ranked first among the top five star contestants.

Hearing Xue'er's words, Lin Ke's eyebrows relaxed.

No one knew what kind of talent Lily possessed more than him.

Although this girl was always as low-key as the one behind him.

The gloomy man on the stone platform began to frown. This was because the lowly maid standing in front of him was unexpectedly unable to respond to his words.

"Alright, alright," the gloomy male's mouth curled into a cruel smile, "If you aren't a mute, then let me send you to hell to continue your silence."

The white-bearded referee frowned, but didn't say anything in the end, because at this moment, both sides moved simultaneously.

"So fast!" Xue'er cried out in alarm.

The speed of the gloomy male on the stone platform instantly exceeded that of the muscular man she was fighting against. Not only did he surpass her speed by a large margin, he could even take the initiative to sway his body slightly while he was moving forward. It was difficult to determine his exact position, and it was also very difficult to predict the state he would be in next.

If the person in front of her was her opponent, then Xue'er wouldn't have the confidence to defeat him with just her speed and movement technique.

But the audience exclaimed!

Because Lily is faster!

The moment the gloomy man moved, Lilisse also moved. Dressed in a black skintight suit 'Shadowless', she seemed to have turned into a black ghost, bringing with her a deep dark colored wind that stirred up shadows on the stone platform!

Later came later, later arrived first!

By the time the gloomy male had crossed seven to eight meters, Lilisse had already crossed the midpoint of the stone platform and arrived in front of him!

The dagger flashed, bringing with it a large amount of light green light as it collided with the gloomy man's thin sword, which was flickering with a fiery red light of Dou Qi!

Ding!

After an ear-piercing sound, both of them retreated at lightning speed.

Lilisse continued to stare at her opponent calmly. The gloomy face of the man became increasingly gloomy, because there was a shallow cut on his face, and blood was flowing down his cheek. It was extremely eye-catching!

The scene suddenly turned cold. The audience, who were looking forward to watching the seeded contestants trample their opponents on their own, were instantly dumbfounded.

In their eyes, this year, only when they met Martin would they be able to fail.

Only one round!

Anyone with a brain would know that in real life, being stabbed by an assassin's dagger often meant being poisoned. That is to say, if Lilith's dagger was highly toxic, then Cincinnatus would have died in a single strike.

Suddenly, boos were heard!

Countless spectators, who had bought the victory of Sinistre, were enraged.

And on the stage, the eyes of the gloomy looking man who was originally trying his best to keep his shock and calm instantly turned ice-cold.

A layer of fiery red light suddenly appeared on the light gray sword. The gloomy male bent his legs, and with a flash of scarlet light, he left his original spot. He pointed his fiery red light towards the quiet Lilisse at the other side of the stone platform.

His speed was even faster!

An imposing manner that could pierce the sky!

Only then did the audience cheer once again!

On the stone stage in the inner circle, there were more and more people.

The gloomy male's swiftly moving sword was like a rocket as it streaked across the sky, instantly attracting the astonished gazes of everyone nearby.

But in the next moment, everyone's voices abruptly stopped.

Because Lily had disappeared under the sword.

With a flash of light, a black shadow appeared on the field, dancing gracefully like a dragon. Like a black tornado, it circled around the gloomy male whose fiery red battle qi wrapped sword had turned into a spark, like a halo.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

A series of sharp knocks sounded out in everyone's ears, causing their hearts to rise. However, everyone could tell that Xenith was at a disadvantage.

This was a battle of speed.

On one side was an agility-type warrior that relied on speed and technique, while on the other side was a Shadow Assassin that pursued extreme speed.

His speed became faster and faster.

Some of the audience were already unable to see their movements clearly, unable to grasp their pace. All they could hear was a burst of colliding sounds, and the scene was completely silent!

Suddenly, the two figures separated once again!

Lilith stood quietly to one side, holding only a dagger in her hand.

The gloomy male's face was pale. Another dagger made of fine iron pierced into Lilisse's chest, piercing straight into her hilt.

He lost.

The gloomy male revealed a bitter smile.

The dagger was three centimeters away from his heart.

And he knew very well that at that moment, she had enough time and space to move the dagger three centimeters away.

"First round, Lilith Mona wins."

The situation suddenly went out of control.

The fully armed soldiers guarding the side of the arena quickly stepped out to separate the agitated crowd. They didn't retreat a single step despite the angry crowd pushing them.

"Lilisse, congratulations on winning the first battle!" Xue'er happily ran to Lily's side and laughed crisply. Then she turned around to face Link and revealed a knowing smile, "Another three hundred and fifty gold coins, this money is also under my control!"

Lin Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You should at least let me repay everyone's loan, right? "Adding on some interest, there is probably not much left in the end. Hence, we will still have to bet another round …"

Don't worry about it, hmph, "Xue'er wrinkled her nose and said," I earned 3900 gold coins, Lily earned 350 gold coins, plus the 300 gold coins after you won, it's a total of 450 gold coins. Heavens, this is too lucky.

Lin Ke was dumbstruck. "Wait, I haven't even competed yet and you're already counting those three hundred gold coins? What's more, I still have two hundred gold coins in the principal? Are you not going to pay me back?!"

Xue'er's expression was as if it was taken for granted, causing Lily to let out a rare smile.

At that moment, all the disturbance inside and outside the stone platform had left the three people.

However, a gloomy man with a pale face and a bandaged wound came over to Rinkey and said, "You're Cohen Moutes?"

Lin Ke smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"There will be great rewards for transferring your maid to me," the gloomy man looked at Lilisse and smiled sinisterly.

Link's face darkened as he took a step forward and stared into the gloomy man's eyes. "You can't even use your own head, Sinistre."

The gloomy male was stunned for a moment, and then his face grew even crazier. "Very good, Cohen of the Moutts clan. Very good. I'll let you know the taste of regret."

"If your family wants to be the second Dis family, you might as well try it," a deep voice suddenly came from behind them. It was the white-bearded referee from the Lilith arena.

The gloomy male's face turned even paler. He glared at Link and Lilisse, who was standing behind him, before turning around and leaving.

"Thank you for your help," Lin Ke respectfully bowed to the white-bearded referee and said, "I still haven't asked for your name."

"You can call me Teacher Newman if you guys can enter the academy," the white-bearded old man smiled kindly, "Of course, if you can't, you can call me Old Newman. To be honest, I've been a teacher in the academy for so many years."

"Teacher Newman, Cohen will never forget the kindness that you've shown us today." Link didn't seem to care about what was going on, instead, he became even more respectful.

"What a ambitious young man. Okay, if you can really enter the wargod academy, then I'll make an exception and buy you a drink. Let me tell you, I really have some good wine hidden away".

Lin Ke smiled and nodded. After seeing the old man turn around and leave, he brought Xue'er and Lilisse to a stone platform not far away.

There, he would face his opponent.

And no matter who his opponent was, they were all somewhat unlucky, because Linke was currently in a very bad mood.

"Cohen, am I in trouble?" Lilisse, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

"With me here, there's no trouble at all," Lin Ke said in a deep voice. "I'll kick whoever blocks the way to the War God Academy."

"Is there something fishy about that white-bearded referee's sudden goodwill?" Xue'er frowned as she thought of something else.

"Naturally, because we are worthy of him. We are young, and he is no longer young," added Rincewind, after a pause.

"But that guy didn't return my dagger," Lily suddenly said after being silent for a while.

Xue'er looked surprised, "So even the ice beauty can make sneers?"

Linke "..."
