Chapter 401 The Girl Who Ranked First

Originally intended to protect the outstanding students of the Asura District from attacks, this unexpected action also brought together the most talented students of the Asura District to one place.

To receive such high praise, these students are all top students in their respective schools, and have been outstanding individuals in their respective environments since childhood. It is inevitable that they are confident and proud. Even if some are humble, it is only on the surface.

When this group of people gathered together, it was inevitable that they would scrutinize and compare each other, and mutual comparison and exchange became the most common thing during this period.

In fact, not only Hilti, but also several other highly ranked students faced various challenges. The combat training grounds inside the Tower of Thunder were filled with daily duels.

After a week of continuous competition and contests, the students finally calmed down a bit.

"In other words, our year is the strongest," a student discussed with his companion in the cafeteria.

"Xin Ke is number one, without a doubt, with a record of 30 wins out of 30 matches."

"The second one, Hedra, is also undefeated, with 37 wins in 37 battles. Although the two have never fought each other, Hedra once told others that she could not beat Xinke."

“Not only does she say this, but anyone who has seen Xin Ke fight against others would also come to the same conclusion.”

"Although the spells used by Hedra have very complex spell models, and are extremely fast and ever-changing in form, they are still within the second-tier range, and can occasionally unleash power equivalent to the third tier."

“But Xin Ke doesn’t need to. After the ‘Sound Bee Array’ is cast, the twelve second-tier ‘Concerto Bees’ resonate together, and the power they unleash is stronger than that of an ordinary third-tier mage. In addition, there are all-round protective spells to maintain that golden protective barrier. Even if others attack with all their might, it will take several minutes to break through it. Moreover, as long as Xin Ke attacks and interferes slightly during this time, the opponent will have no chance of winning.”

After he finished speaking, the person at the same table nodded, and the students at other tables who had overheard him were also very curious and interested.

"However, it seems a bit unfair that Xin Ke can summon a 'Concerto Bee' of the same level during battle, which is considered cheating."

"Well, this has been discussed before. The official standards for this are not consistent. Some competitions have clear rules that the number cannot exceed a certain limit, while others do not allow it at all, unless it is a creature with a destiny contract."

“That’s the problem. Xin Ke has ‘Golden Honey Blood’. According to the secret techniques passed down from the ancient Golden Honey Dynasty, she can form contracts with a large number of selected bees when she reaches the third rank. As the queen of the bee colony, I can easily receive blessings and feedback from these bees, and at the same time, I can also give these bees various power protections.”

"The reason why the Golden Honey Dynasty was so powerful back then was that royal members could easily obtain the power amplification of the bee swarm, similar to the 'castle'-like school of monarchy."

"However, after the Golden Honey Dynasty was destroyed by the Sun Dragon, all the royal families of the Fifth Continent died out. On the contrary, because they participated in the struggle for the Radiant Moon and the Divine Star of the Fourth Continent, the royal bloodline of the Golden Honey Dynasty still survives on our side."

"The blood of the golden honey that is too diluted cannot gain the recognition and contract of the bee colony. It can only rely on bloodline talent to learn the skills of worker bees and combat bees. The reason why we can see a genius like Xin Ke with a high degree of purity is probably because she just awakened her bloodline and purified it back to her ancestral form."

"Such talent and strength are not replicable. Even if Xin Ke marries another person of the opposite sex who also has 'Golden Honey Blood', it is unlikely that her child will have the same talent as her."

"If the 'Queen Bee of Flourishing Joy,' the Insect and Moth Master, were still alive, it would only be a matter of a few years for the Golden Honey Dynasty's bloodline to shine again. But that Master herself has fallen, the Golden Honey Dynasty has lost its protection, and is also despised by the current 'Corona Dragon.' It is impossible for it to restore its bloodline."

A group of students were discussing the 'Golden Honey Dynasty'. In the Eighth Era, the 'Queen of Joyful Bees', the 'Moth's' celestial ruler, used the power of the 'Moth' and the 'Blazing Sun' to suppress the 'Emerald Honey' laws, preventing the fairies from obtaining the 'Emerald Honey' celestial ruler' position.

During the heyday of the Golden Honey Dynasty, they not only controlled the Fifth Continent, but also sent a large number of 'Dawn Bee Knights' across the Cloud Sea to extend their influence to other continents. They interfered with the succession of the 'Radiant Moon' celestial position on the Fourth Continent. As the territory of the 'Silver Moon Dragon's' kin, the celestial position on the Fourth Continent should have been taken over by Mellerlan, the founder of the 'Silver Radiance Church'.

Unfortunately, this longing was interrupted by the Golden Honey Dynasty. After Melerlan's death, the position of the Divine Star was occupied by the immortal beast "Fantasy Black Rabbit" from the Path of Nightmare. The Golden Honey Dynasty's initial investment of a great deal of effort and resources was wasted, and it was also unable to suppress the resurrection of the "Corona Dragon," which reclaimed the position of the Divine Star of the Blazing Sun, leading to the collapse and eventual destruction of the entire dynasty. "Having talked about the first and second, what about the third? Any progress?"

"It's hard to say who's third, because everyone else has had one or two defeats, so it's difficult to determine who is really stronger. Among the top ten ranked by the teachers, apart from the top three, Xin Ke, Hua Delin, and Hedra, the other seven are actually very close."

"Oh right, there's another dark horse recently, no, someone who was previously overlooked."

"who is it?"

“Aurora Helter, the eldest daughter of the ‘Opera School,’ but she seems unwilling to join her family’s ‘Opera School’ and instead switched to the secret arts of the ‘Phantom School,’ which has wasted a lot of time. If she had focused on the spells and abilities of the ‘Opera School,’ she would probably be among the top in the world now.”

Thunder Tower, inside the combat training ground.

Aurora stood dressed in a black and blue dress, her hands outstretched, ten threads extending from her fingertips, each tiny puppet wielding a sharp blade, battling the bees controlled by Xin Ke opposite her.

Beside the training field, Sylvia and Lovir stood together, watching the two spar.

"Aurora is getting more and more skilled at manipulating the little puppets." Lover clapped her hands, cheering for Aurora inside.

Hilti blinked, carefully observing the details and process of the two's battle. At this moment, Aurora had already reached her limit, while Xin Ke on the other side always left room for maneuver, and did not even fully activate the bees and the sexual energy within her body, but instead used this to hone her precision and control over details.

Xin Ke definitely won, but Aurora wasn't bad either. If a few years later, when Aurora joins the Puppet School and uses puppets of the same level to make up for her lack of power, it's hard to say who will be stronger between Xin Ke and her.

A few minutes later, Aurora finally gave up, admitted defeat, and walked off the field. When Lover saw this, she ran over and hugged her.

"Aurora, it's okay. You're amazing. You'll definitely win next time."

Exhausted, Aurora was embraced by Lover's energetic body and couldn't break free. She could only let Lover hold her as they slowly walked to the rest area, where Xin Ke and Xilutiya were already talking.

The two were engrossed in discussing the spells and abilities they had just used in the competition. They were both extraordinary geniuses, and they understood each other's questions very quickly.

By the time Lowell and Aurora slowly walked over, the two had already finished their conversation.

Smiling, Hiltiya greeted Aurora and Lovely, then came over and gently massaged Aurora's shoulders and arms. Afterwards, Cinco suggested that they have lunch at the 'Vanilla Forest' restaurant outside later.

"I'll treat this time," she suggested playfully, one eye slightly closed and the other open, her finger held up to her lips.

"Don't refuse, or I'll be sad." With that, she smiled and pulled the three of them together, leading them outside.

Although she ranked first, she was exceptionally cheerful and approachable, just like the girl next door.
