Seeing this, Xijing Ningyin panicked and said, "Hey? You're not really interested in Xiao Hei, are you?"

Although she appeared panicked on the surface, she was actually doing her best to cheer Bai Zhe on.

Bai Zhe is just too strong; she can't handle him alone!

So she made a connection to Hoshiguji Kurono's identity. As Kurono's best friend, she felt it was time to find a good match for her best friend.

That's why she hinted at Bai Zhe.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe glanced at her indifferently and said speechlessly, "Can you take acting more seriously? Does this kind of thing really surprise someone as powerful as you?"

"You're definitely more genuine and adorable when you're in bed."

When Bai Zhe teased Xi Jing Ningyin, a blush immediately appeared on her cute face, and even her eyes became a little unfocused.

But then she heard Bai Zhe speak again: "Originally, I was only interested in Hoshiguji Kurono's abilities, but now... as you said, I've also become interested in her as a person."

The allure of a pure, widowed woman is a fatal temptation for men.

Now, upon hearing this, Xijing Ningyin was no longer shy. Instead, she opened her folding fan and gave Bai Zhe a charmingly disdainful look.

"Virtue!"

At that moment, Hoshiguji Kurono seemed to sense something, looked up at the two on the stage, and then left the arena after giving Stella a word of advice, heading straight for the two.

Meanwhile, in the stands, Toudou Touka and the student council members found a suitable spot to watch the game.

After sitting down, a member of the student council immediately asked Toudou Touka with a curious expression:

"President, do you know who that man sitting with Lady Yashahime is?"

Upon hearing this, Toudou Touka tapped his glasses, revealing a thoughtful expression in the light reflected from them.

"I don't know him, but he looks like he's my senior's boyfriend...probably..."

But in reality, the girl did this simply because her glasses had slipped down her nose, causing her gaze to wander.

Those in the audience who were also curious about Bai Zhe's identity were also members of the student council.

In fact, everyone was curious about the identity of the man who was behaving intimately with the famous Yasha-hime.

But soon, the doubts in their hearts were answered.

Upon arriving at the stage, Hoshiguji Kurono casually tapped Nishikyo Nene on the head and said with absolute certainty, "Were you talking bad about me on stage just now? Don't lie, I saw you looking at me downstairs!"

The black-haired, kimono-clad girl, who had just been smacked on the head, immediately clutched her head pitifully and said innocently, "How could that be! I was just worrying about your future!"

Although he knew the black-haired girl was deliberately acting like that, Bai Zhe still spoke up for her when he saw her tearful face.

"She is indeed concerned about your marriage."

Hoshiguji Kurono naturally wouldn't question what Bai Zhe said.

However, after hearing his words, she looked at Xijing Ningyin with a hint of surprise.

"Is that so?"

Hoshiguji Kurono then sincerely apologized to Nishikyo Nene.

"I'm sorry, Ningyin, I was reckless this time."

However, seeing this, Xijing Ningyin pressed her advantage, saying, "No, if all you need to do after being hit is an apology, then what's the point of having a police department!"

Seeing her best friend, the infamous Yasha-hime, acting so shamelessly, Hoshiguji Kurono was amused and asked directly, "So what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Xijing Ningyin narrowed her eyes, and a triumphant smile appeared on her pretty face hidden behind the folding fan. She then spoke:

"Come shopping with me, and you have to pay, otherwise my injury won't heal."

Hoshiguji Kurono was speechless at Nishikyo Ningyin's request, but in order to avoid arguing with her mischievous best friend about this matter, she naturally agreed to the other party's request.

"That's all you ask for. Okay, okay, I'll find some time to go with you later."

Immediately, she saw Xi Jing Ningyin acting openly and without any intention of hiding anything from her, and winked at Bai Zhe beside her.

In that instant, Hoshiguji Kurono knew that she had once again found this woman's way.

But after spending a lot of time with Xijing Ningyin, she got used to the other's antics and just dealt with them as they came.

Hoshiguji Kurono immediately put the matter out of her mind, looked at Bai Zhe, and only after seeing the Demon King nod slightly did she pick up the microphone on the table and turn it on.

The next second, a noisy electrical sound rang out in the arena, followed by Hoshiguji Kurono's voice.

"Now, I would like to formally introduce to you the savior of Kanto, a man whose swordsmanship rivals that of the world's strongest swordsmen and who possesses the power to slay gods, and who is also a temporary guest of the Pojun Academy—Mr. Bai Zhe! Stay!"

"Today, he will bring down trials here and select those who are qualified."

"To be honest, I don't know the full picture of this trial, but the process must be extremely difficult, and even the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences."

"Therefore, as the chairman, I would like to remind everyone that those who wish to leave should do so as soon as possible, because I cannot guarantee your personal safety in the events that are about to unfold."

Chapter Eighteen: The Trial of Dragon's Might! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

As Hoshiguji Kurono finished speaking, a rustling sound immediately came from the audience.

The students who came here after hearing the news were curious to see what was going on, but most of them wouldn't risk their lives to watch the spectacle, let alone heed the chairman's advice.

So in just half a minute, only a dozen or so people remained in the audience.

The student council, representing the combat strength of Pojun Academy, naturally stayed behind.

Apart from that, the remaining people either sat in deserted corners or had their feet propped up in front of them.

Some people even excitedly held up cameras, their eyes fixed on Stella in the center of the arena.

Bai Zhe can only comment on people like this who studied journalism.

On the field, Stella had already summoned her spirit armor and was ready for battle.

The next second, as Hoshiguji Kurono put down the microphone, Bai Zhe's hand on the table tapped lightly with his index finger, transforming into an invisible wave that released 20% of the dragon's might.

In an instant, everyone present, except for Nishikyo Ningyin and Hoshiguji Kuro, felt an unprecedented pressure, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, making it hard to breathe.

At that moment, the students who were still present understood why Hoshiguji Kurono, as the chairperson of the board, had spoken in that way.

This kind of oppressive feeling is really not something that ordinary people can endure!

The blonde girl, who had been excitedly holding a camera, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Apart from Toudou Touka and Stella, almost everyone involuntarily hunched their backs, clenched their teeth, and large beads of sweat slid from their foreheads to their cheeks under this pressure.

Moreover, Bai Zhe specifically controlled the range of Long Wei, confining it to the arena with a diameter of 300 meters. Otherwise, no one in the entire Po Jun Academy, no, the entire city, would probably be unable to move!

On the stage, watching the students remaining in the audience perform, Nishikyo Ningyin nudged her friend's arm and said, "Looks like this year's kids have some talent after all~"

Upon hearing this, Hoshiguji Kurono did not answer, but instead looked around the audience and finally fixed her gaze on a black-haired boy sitting in the corner.

Seeing this, Nishikyo Ningen followed Hoshiguji Kurono's gaze and looked over.

"That's the Black Iron Clan's discarded son you were asked to keep an eye on?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshiguji Kurono shook her head and said with some helplessness, "He... is very strong and talented, but unfortunately, this world is too unfair to him."

From the teacher's perspective, Kurogane Ikki's level of effort has surpassed that of most people in this academy, but unfortunately, due to his naturally weak magical power and family reasons, he has never been able to graduate from this academy!

The reason why Pogun Academy invited her to serve as the chairperson was to make her shine at this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, so Hoshiguji Kurono, who took over the responsibility, naturally wouldn't let such a talent slip away.

If used well, Kurogane Ikki might become a dark horse in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, catching everyone off guard.

Of course, besides this obvious purpose, she had another reason for mentioning the other party.

That is to recruit talents for Bai Zhe, all kinds of talents!

The reason she did this was because she learned from Nishikyo Ningyin about the Great World Integration and how the fundamental reason for it was Bai Zhe.

She surrendered on the spot.

Furthermore, knowing that Bai Zhe will establish the Divine Lord Sheep in the future, she will naturally obtain his consent to establish a new organization in this world that belongs exclusively to Bai Zhe.

This is her pledge of allegiance!

As Hoshiguji Kurono finished speaking, Shiro Tetsuo, who was following her gaze, also said calmly, "His talent is indeed good, but it's a pity that his magic power is a bit lacking. However, it doesn't matter, magic power is something that can be improved later."

"Of course, that is, provided that he can demonstrate sufficient value."

The next second, the dragon's power increased by another 30%, reaching 50%.

Half a minute later, Bai Zhe added another 10% of Long Wei, and almost all the students present, including Kurogane Ikki who was biting his gums until they bled, fainted.

Only Toudou Touka and Stella remained.

Countless bolts of electricity appeared on the former's body, but the light flickered, indicating that the resistance was already becoming difficult.

The latter, in an extremely disheveled state, knelt on the field, almost relying on the spirit weapon in his hand to claim his body.

Although Stella was panting heavily and looked like she was about to collapse, the flames on her body burned even more fiercely under the dragon's might, and there was even a faint roar of some terrifying creature coming from them.

The temperature in the entire stadium rose by more than ten degrees in a short period of time!

Even Hoshiguji Kurono and Nishikyo Nene felt considerable pressure at this moment.

The chairman, dressed in a black suit, was extremely grateful that he had surrendered immediately after demonstrating his abilities the previous night instead of fighting Bai Zhe, otherwise...

At this moment, Toudou Touka's vision was very blurry, and her body was also showing signs of exhaustion. Fortunately, Nishikyo Ningyin came to her side in time and helped her lie down in the seat in front of her.

As for Stella, who was in the center of the arena, her teeth were already bleeding from biting them.

In those few short minutes, she felt like time was dragging on forever, and even considered giving up at one point. But when she thought of her country and people, and her parents, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

However, she exerted too much force and her legs started to cramp, and the pain made the girl's originally beautiful face look grotesque.

But her beautiful, ruby-like eyes remained fixed on Bai Zhe, who sat on the stage.

Seeing this, the Demon King slowly spoke, "It's almost over. Did you hear that? The dragon's roar emanating from your body."

Because the entire arena was completely silent, Stella could hear Bai Zhe clearly even though he wasn't speaking loudly.

That's why the girl looked surprised.

However, Stella didn't even have time to feel the power within her body that seemed to be gradually breaking free from its restraints before she heard Bai Zhe speak again.

"Try to beat it."

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, while withdrawing his dragon might, he also used his incantation to squeeze a drop of blood from his fingertip, which immediately merged with a ball of flame that suddenly exploded in the air, transforming into a fire dragon made of fire element, reaching a length of twenty meters.

The fire dragon created by Bai Zhe using his power and magic gave Stella no time to breathe. The moment Bai Zhe withdrew his dragon might, it launched an attack on the girl!

Chapter Nineteen: The Awakening of the Imperial Dragon! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

boom----

A huge commotion erupted from the arena. Under the sudden attack, Stella was sent flying out of the arena, crashing through the thick wall and embedding herself inside.

If it weren't for her physical strength as an A-rank knight, any ordinary Blade Master would have been barely breathing after taking that blow from the elemental fire dragon created by Bai Zhe's power and magic!

Instead of experiencing intense pain and a little blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, like Stella did.

On the host's platform, watching Stella get slapped against the wall on the field, Nishikyo Ningyin, who had returned from Toudou Touka's side, looked at Bai Zhe with a puzzled expression.

"This fire dragon's power is comparable to that of a professional A-rank knight, isn't it? Did you create it using your power?"

"Are you sure that with the child's remaining strength, he can really withstand this kind of test?"

Nishikyo Ningyin's question naturally drew the attention of Hoshiguji Kurono, who was standing nearby.

But seeing this, Bai Zhe calmly said:

"Trust her."

"Only when faced with a crisis does the power hidden within the human body awaken."

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, the fire dragon that had landed on the ground raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

The next second, Stella, lying inside the broken wall, seemed to feel a resonance from the soul. The pain in her muscles and the injuries on her body disappeared at that moment!

Immediately afterward, the severely injured girl opened her eyes again. Her originally beautiful, jewel-like red eyes had transformed into a pair of vertical pupils filled with savagery and arrogance!

Immediately, the girl crawled out of the broken wall, carrying her spiritual armor, and with a powerful leap, launched herself forward at near-sonic speed, slashing down at the fire dragon in the center of the arena.

Although the fire dragon sensed the danger with its beastly instincts and turned its head away the moment the girl's longsword struck down, its wings on its back were severed in one blow, rendering it unable to fly.
