Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

As the two men were gloating, a man wearing only armor but no helmet slowly approached:

"Executives, you're back."

The two turned around and saw that the newcomer was Jepard.

“Jepard?” Yan seemed to remember something:

"Oh right, weren't you going to participate in a competition? How did it go? Have you finished?"

"It's over..."

Jepard sighed:

"I faced a company employee in my first match and luckily beat him, but I lost the second match..."

"You've had several matches already, haven't you?"

"Hmm." March 7th nodded slightly.

"We haven't lost a single game yet."

Jepard smiled:

"I just watched your match against that Star Core Hunter, it was absolutely fantastic."

"We all started playing around the same time, so the skill gap between us is so huge, sigh..."

March 7th quickly comforted him:

"Don't say that. It's already amazing that you made it to the tournament. There are many people who haven't even gotten the qualification badge for the Final Paradise."

“That’s true…” Hearing this, Jepard suddenly felt less dejected.

“After listening to your advice, I realized that Dunn’s strength might be more than that, so I privately challenged him to a fight with me using his true strength.”

"Unexpectedly, he actually had more than just those few Ether Spirits on the surface."

"He did hold back in the Echoing Corridor..."

March 7 blinked, not surprised by this inside story.

Dunn just wanted to stall Hilva a little longer, so it's normal for him to pretend to be a noob.

"So, who won your battle?" Yan asked curiously.

Jeppard paused, then smiled slightly:

"Of course I won."

"Although Dunn has been hiding his strength, he is still not enough for me. After all, I have been commanding the Iron Guards for so many years, so it is only natural that I can command the Ether Spirits with ease."

"Watching your performance on the field just now reminded me of when I participated in the Silver Mane Iron Guard tournament."

"Truly wonderful..."

"I am very pleased to see that you are enjoying yourselves."

Immediately, Jepard became serious:

"But my intuition tells me that things are probably not that simple."

"Is it really a good thing that these extraterrestrial visitors are bringing this kind of entertainment to Belleburg?"

"After all, we are still rebuilding our homes..."

Sensing Jepard's worry, Yan nodded slightly, and was about to say something when he heard the former apologize:

"Ah... I'm so sorry."

Jepard scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed:

"It would be a bit of a downer to talk about this now. Let's focus on enjoying the festive atmosphere for now. I wish you all the best."

Jepard then left.

He was eliminated after losing his second match, losing his qualification for the subsequent matches.

So he ran to the audience area and joined the team maintaining order.

No sooner had Jepard left than Yan lowered his head, deep in thought.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a pair of fair and delicate feet.

"?"

Clara smiled as her fair, small feet touched the stone ground.

"Hello, Brother Yan Huan... and Sister San Yue."

A tall figure also stood beside Clara.

"We meet again, outsiders. The battle just now was quite exciting, congratulations."

"Swarovski and Clara?" Yan looked at the two of them:

"Swarovski, your card is really good. The control effect of the mechanical auxiliary unit is amazing."

Schwarz nodded slightly, and Clara began to speak:

"Just now, Mr. Schwarz was analyzing everyone's winning probability..."

Schwarzlo opened his mouth:

"Your win rate once dropped to 14.93%, after all, five of that Star Core Hunter's Pawns, Tramplers, were equipped with chips that increased starting energy and chips that amplified damage."

"If her Aether Spirit unleashes its ultimate attack five times in a row, even if you have two red cards, you won't be able to withstand this terrifying damage."

"As expected, both of your red cards lost a life immediately because of those five pawns."

"But you successfully turned the tide with your own strategy, and there is no doubt that you have the potential to compete for the championship."

Chapter 439 isn't over yet!

Yan Huan nodded slightly:

"Silver Wolf is a veteran player and should not be underestimated. If it weren't for his excellent control at the end, the outcome would have been hard to say."

Red cards are not unbeatable. For example, the Silver Wolf lineup mentioned earlier had five Phantom Troopers equipped with energy chips, allowing them to use their ultimate abilities right from the start.

With five consecutive terrifying ultimate attacks, no one would feel without pressure.

Thankfully, we made it through...

"You two should review the game carefully and prepare for the next match..." Schwarz said in a deep voice.

"The next opponents are basically players who have already played against others more than once and won."

"Ah."

Yan and March 7 nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

Next, the two faced Giovanni again in the tournament.

“...It’s Mr. Giovanni!” March 7 exclaimed.

"We meet again, you two!" Giovanni stood opposite them, arms crossed.

"Your performance was truly impressive!"

Yan frowned:

"What, it's you again? You participate in the tournament too?"

“Don’t say that,” Giovanni laughed. “I’m a veteran player of the Etherfront myself, so naturally I won’t just be a temporary champion candidate.”

"Besides, aren't Silva and Miss Pera still participating in the tournament?"

"Let's forget about those lengthy discussions for now! The priority right now is to enjoy this celebration to the fullest...!"

Amidst the resounding cheers from the crowd, Giovanni stretched out his arms and proclaimed:

"Friends, dance with me!"

Let's work together to bring this perfect celebration to its climax!

"This time, let me see if you can still defeat me!"

The battle began, and this time Giovanni was very serious, no longer provoking the two.

He ultimately fielded three red cards.

These are the Abundant Mystic Deer, which appeared in the Immortal Ship and possesses summonable creatures, as well as the Automaton Grizzly and Automaton Tooth Wolf in their liberated states!

"Huh?!" The Abundant Black Deer was one thing, having three lives wasn't surprising, but March Seven stared at the Automaton Grizzly and Automaton Tooth Wolf, dumbfounded.

"Weren't these two overlord-level Ether Spirits? Why did they suddenly turn into red cards, and even gain three lives?!"

The grizzly bear and wolf robots in Giovanni's hands were quite different from the ones the two had seen before.

They stood together, their bodies seemingly connected by a faint thread of light...

"Haha, this is a grizzly bear and a wolf in full liberation condition that I bought at an auction."

Giovanni confidently stated:

"Don't be fooled by their appearance. These two not only have three lives, but also a burst form and a combination attack!"

"As for the specific effects... hehe, Ms. Yan Huan and Miss March 7, why don't you witness them for yourselves in the battle!"

Yan Huan and March 7 found themselves in a very difficult situation when faced with this ethereal spirit, which they were encountering for the first time.

This is due to a lack of information.

They were unclear about the differences between these two so-called fully liberated mechs and the previous ones, nor did they understand what their combination attacks were or what their effects were.

So the two of them quickly made arrangements.

Giovanni first sent out five Iron Guard officers, followed by another five Iron Guard officers.

Finally, there are two more speed-boosting Ether Spirits, plus the Abundant Black Deer, the fully unleashed Automaton Grizzly, and the Tooth Wolf!

All their combat power was saved for last.

Yan Huan and March 7th also placed Schwarzkopf and Kafka last.
