Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Upon seeing these two people on March 7th, he exclaimed with delight:

"Huh! Miss Topa, and... Miss Estella?!"

The latter nodded and smiled at the three train crew members: "Hi, you two, long time no see, and congratulations to you too."

Mr. Yan sat in the chair and raised an eyebrow:

"So, the three of us are in jail, and you guys come to visit us in prison as a group?!"

Right now, all three pioneers from the Star Train are wearing cold, hard handcuffs!

"What are you saying? We're here to congratulate you on becoming the true champions!" Topa laughed.

"Whether Danheng or the two of you are the ultimate champions, aren't you all part of your train crew?"

"Is there a bonus?" Yan asked.

"Well..." Estella hesitated.

"It's a pity that I don't have the final say here, otherwise I would send it to you right now."

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to Juju Bao, who was already standing on the ground.

"Hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph~~?"

It was only then that March 7th roughly understood Estád and Toppa's purpose in coming.

Juju is still Astara's property!

"Um...so, are you guys going to talk to us about Juju Explosion next?" March 7 asked tentatively.

“That’s right.” Topa nodded slightly.

"However, I'll leave the specifics to Miss Estelle."

"No need to be so formal," Estella said with a smile, looking at the three people on the train.

"However, I do have an element of being here because of this etheric spirit."

"You should already know the ins and outs of this matter, so I won't go into details... So, the reason I'm here today is actually to witness your choice."

"Our choice?" March 7th scratched his head.

“That’s right,” Estella said seriously.

"Your choice. This piggy bank may be cute, but to me it's just a bunch of data, a collectible."

"After all, I didn't have the chance to travel with it, fight alongside it, or share its joys and sorrows like you did—"

"I cannot make the choice for you in this matter."

"However, you don't need to feel too burdened, and you don't need to worry about my feelings..."

"I don't need to worry about your feelings, right? I understand, I understand. Then we'll keep this Ether Spirit for ourselves!" Yan raised his hand and said.

"..."

Estelle was speechless for a moment:

"Although what you said makes me a little uncomfortable, I really have no objection. This piggy bank... I'll give it to you."

"However, next time Peipei goes out to find you, please be sure to let me know, okay?"

"No way." Yan refused without even thinking.

"General Pei and I are the best of friends in the world, how could we be swayed by a woman like you?"

"..."

Seeing Estella's face darken, March Seven quickly and awkwardly tried to salvage the situation:

"Haha... Um, Estella, don't worry! Next time I see Pepe on the train, I'll definitely message you right away!"

"I'll be your inside man!"

Estella nodded slightly; she was fairly satisfied with the result.

"Well then, I'm all set..."

"Yan Huan, please open the door and take me home."

"okay."

Immediately, Yan Huan snapped her fingers, and a teleportation portal opened up beside Aista.

Before leaving, Estella suddenly turned back and said:

"Oh, by the way, remember to come to the space station in a while. Someone very important is coming."

Chapter 450 The dispute begins

After Estádio left.

The three train crew members were taken back to the celebration venue for the final evaluation meeting for the champion.

Giovanni was naturally among the main participants in this meeting.

Next up were Toppa, a guest from the Strategic Investment Department, and Cocolia, the great guardian of Belloberg.

"Hey, why are you all sitting so high up? It's like you're interrogating a criminal!" Yan, sitting below, was very dissatisfied.

"Silence! Silence!"

Giovanni laughed:

"Ms. Yan Huan, there are cameras everywhere around us. Please be mindful of your image."

"Next is the meeting to discuss the champion's chief. Although I have been granted full authority, it would be inappropriate for me to make the decisions alone."

"So, I invited two guests."

On either side of Giovanni sat Topa and Cocolia, each holding a tablet that played footage of the Battle of the Century.

"Alright, now that you two have reviewed what happened, please share your thoughts!"

As soon as Giovanni finished speaking, Cocolia, who was sitting in the red chair, raised her head and said in a deep voice to the three people below:

"In my opinion, the final victors should be the Executive Officer and March 7th, since Danheng violated the rules first."

"Judging from the recorded video, it was Danheng's side that first summoned a huge amount of ethereal spirits. If the two of them had not used the same illegal strategy, they would have had no chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, March 7th, who was sitting below, nodded vigorously:

"Yeah, I was stunned. Dan Heng pulled this stunt. We can't just stick to the rules and fight him honestly, can we?"

"Continue to send only fifteen Ether Spirits? That's giving us far too much credit!"

Mr. Yan crossed his arms and nodded slightly:

"That's right, it's the only way we can do it, so the championship is still ours."

"Wait." Dan Heng opened his eyes, looked at the three people above, and said in a deep voice:

"Although I used more ether than the prescribed amount first, subsequent violations are not my responsibility."

"My two companions completely disregarded the rules of combat skill points and energy, recklessly unleashing combat skills and ultimate moves, which is an indisputable fact."

"Damn it!" March 7th said to Dan Heng with disdain upon hearing this.

"You did the same thing!"

"I only started doing the same thing as you guys later, and I have a screen recording to prove it."

Topa, sitting at the upper left, nodded slightly at Danheng's explanation and pondered:

"Indeed, Danheng was the first to violate the rule regarding the quantity of Ether Spirits, but Yan Huan and Sanyueqi were the first to violate the rule regarding skills."

"They seem to be about the same."

The current situation is that both sides have problems.

Danheng's goal is to help the two people quit internet addiction, so he doesn't need to win. If both sides lose their champion status in the end, a draw would also count as a win for Danheng.

However, based on the current evidence, Danheng is more at fault, since he was the first to violate the rules, which led to the series of subsequent consequences.

Cocolia commented:

"Both of you defeated last year's champion, Toppa, so a tie for the title won't really matter..."

"No," Dan Heng said, rejecting the idea.

“Even including all the violations, my ethereal spirit clearly had the upper hand in the battle.”

"You?" Yan looked at Dan Heng with disdain:

"Please, the entire Everwinter Ridge was almost completely covered by the effects of our Mother of Illusions. Your large group of minions were frozen and couldn't move at all!"

Dan Heng said calmly:

"I have the True King of Spiror Insects, and the True Spiror Insects that split off can completely offset the damage from the ice seal."

"We have that too!"

"Alright, alright, quiet down."

Giovanni stopped the argument between the three people below.

"Mr. Danheng has provided a completely new perspective, which is... since both sides have violated the rules, if we set aside the violations and only look at the final outcome of this war, wouldn't that also be a breakthrough point?"

Topa and Cocolia pondered this question.

Giovanni meant to treat violations as compliance and to view this battle dialectically.

In other words, using a large amount of Ether and randomly casting spells are both considered compliant.

If that's the case, then the final victory is truly something to talk about.

“No, this is too chaotic.” Toppa frowned slightly, giving up on thinking.

"There are too many ethereal spirits involved here, and their abilities are extremely complex. In the end, there are no winners."

Due to the chaos, many ethereal spirits lost control, even fighting amongst themselves.

This is simply impossible to assess properly.
