Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"Absolutely amazing!"

"An underage saint? And such a beautiful girl at that? Am I dreaming?!" (Under federal law, the age of majority is eighteen)

What is certain is that another brilliant new star has risen under their witness, something even Rodriguez couldn't do, and perhaps the creator of the next legend.

The dark horse from the San Luisa region once again triumphed over strong contenders for the championship, completely silencing doubts and advancing to the finals as a Saint.

The wealthy woman in the next room was also terrified. Olivia and Kirihime's hearts were pounding and their eyes were shining with the fanaticism unique to gamblers. They seemed to have won the "jackpot".

Lily and Mengmeng stuck out their tongues, not surprised at all. The junior schoolmate was hiding many scary secrets, and this was just one of them.

The victor returned to the Mirror Hall, where the charming knight on the dragon's back greeted the cheers of the crowd. Her ears were almost deafened, but all she could think about was that the other battle on the big screen would end as soon as possible and the final would begin.

Fran, nestled in Nolan's arms, had a complex expression on her face. She slowly awoke, looking lost and somewhat regretful.

Flandre leaned quietly on the girl's shoulder, her breath sweet as orchids, and said softly, "It was my carelessness. I didn't expect you to be able to endure to this extent. Well, if it were the two of you, perhaps you would have a chance to win. Be careful of that man. The rumors are true. He has indeed stepped into the transcendent realm. I am no match for him."

Nolan raised an eyebrow but remained silent. Rodriguez's strength seemed to be beyond imagination, but unfortunately, this match was no longer important compared to the life-or-death upheaval.

"You two are both excellent, Tess will be very pleased."

Michelle remained calm, gave Alicia a meaningful look, and clapped lightly, as if she had known from the beginning that Nolan would win.

Once again, all eyes were on another battle, where one of the finalists had already qualified and was waiting for her opponent.

The dragon-riding girl, along with her dragon companions, reigned supreme at the pinnacle of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament. Her formidable strength was evident to all, and she was perhaps the strongest opponent Rodriguez would face in three years. This added a touch of suspense to the otherwise dull final match, instantly piquing the interest of all citizens of the Federation.

"She inherited everything from Tess, and doesn't resemble you at all. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

Bowen sighed deeply, making sarcastic remarks about his cold-blooded old friend.

Even when he saw Nolan about to be defeated, the Evil Lord's eyes did not waver at all, but now he was slightly lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the shadow of another person.

Although their fate had ended, separated by life and death.

Soul fluctuations have never been a standard for judging the strength of the God Hunter Clan, because they are not from this world at all.

Sword energy crisscrossed the Blazing Sun Mountains. Suddenly, the Chaos Knight on the platform stood up and, in his capacity as Principal Ceylon, ordered Serani: "Summon all students and set off immediately!"

"what?"

Serani was completely bewildered, still reeling from Flandre's defeat.

But where to go?

Ceylon has already closed its campus, and the vice principal and other instructors are still unaware of the next steps and need to wait for the Star Alliance's decision.

Invincible turned his head and pinched Skadi's cheek. The intense pain woke the sand sculpture angel from her daze, and she screamed.

"The same goes for Saint Rensa; mobilize the lead ship to set sail and take in the Ceylon students back to Isherland together."

The others were completely baffled, looking at each other, having no idea what the Black Knight was up to. The real show was just beginning, and the Saint Lenza region still had a good chance of breaking the Rhine myth.

Vivian frowned and asked, "Wait, what happened?"

“Mr. Reinhardt is probably in trouble. I will find him. The Sanctuary of Stars is to be sealed off immediately with a protective barrier set up. No traveler or resident is allowed to leave the fortress area!”

"this......."

Vivian looked troubled. She rarely saw Invincible so serious, but no one had the right to stop the Stars Gala.

699. The Moon That Is Seen But Not Seen

Invincible suddenly gave an order, and the Aries Star Envoy and Virgo Star Envoy shook their heads repeatedly. Their existence was to prevent anyone from disturbing this grand ceremony. Neither Xi Weng nor Invincible could do it. They had to know that the entire Federation and even the whole world were watching their every move, and they could not afford to make any mistakes.

Lister, suppressing his anger, interrupted, "Please stop joking, Mr. Invincible. Do you want us to immediately stop all activities?"

“I know you can’t agree to this, so I can only do my best to ensure the safety of my students.”

After saying that, Wudi shattered space and entered the turbulent currents, trying to find the old headmaster's trace from the outer edge of the void. He must have already discovered the source of the anomaly.

Zachary scoffed, "Don't listen to that coward's nonsense. Rhine City is impregnable. Who does he think he is?"

The important figures on the platform were discussing amongst themselves. They didn't even put the invincible Demon Lord in their eyes. What was he afraid of? And where was his master, Lord Reinhardt?

Despite their deep doubts, the three star envoys remained unmoved, and Commander Michelle also kept silent. They couldn't afford to lose face by ending the ceremony now.

"How to do?"

Gana leaned down to ask for her opinion. Skuld hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted her teeth and instructed the secretary to follow the instructions discreetly. She believed in Invincible.

The demon overlord above the Mirror Hall watched this unfold, shook his head, and remained indifferent.

"It's all in vain. No one can snatch people from the land of the dead. The creatures here cannot escape death."

In Roland's eyes, the Mirror Hall was filled with a gloomy and deathly aura. The mark of the Kingdom of the Dead was marking every innocent soul, which was their destiny.

choke!

The four spectators were completely unaware of the impending crisis, fully immersed in the thrilling battle in the Scorching Sun Mountains.

A chilling wind swept across the mountain peaks, and the black blades sliced ​​through the air with impenetrable force, their blurred sword energy carving hundreds of ravines into the solid ground beneath Rodriguez's feet.

The Windwall was extremely dangerous, but Rodriguez's defense was impeccable, and the elusive wind was cut down by his sword.

"Lunar phase...new moon!"

The new moon travels alongside the sun, hidden from its light, and runs in the opposite direction from the stars, becoming a moon that cannot be seen.

Rodriguez's eyes brightened slightly. He concealed his sword behind his back, disappearing without a trace. Then, he unleashed a lightning-fast strike, finding an opening in the howling wind wall and striking directly at the eye of the storm.

The moonlight suddenly appeared, and waves of light echoed across the mountains, abruptly calming the chaotic wind.

"Lin Dichen's laws have been broken."

Skuld shook her head regretfully, but didn't think that Xiao Linzi had brought shame to Saint Lenza.

Rodriguez has far surpassed the other students in both mental strength and soul fluctuations. Deciphering a new law in such a short time is something that even few of the Star Lords present could do.

The top instructors of Xingchen United School watched with a nod of approval. Rodriguez's unique swordsmanship originated from the phases of the moon and, after being honed by the principal, had developed into a complete system, becoming a brand-new martial art.

This is the strength of the two-time champion of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament. The once-in-a-century genius of Starry Sky School never follows the old path of others, but chooses to create his own sword domain.

Lin Dichen staggered as he emerged from the raging wind, his face pale and his breathing rapid. The repeated battles had exhausted a great deal of his soul energy. He stared intently at the mountain peak, showing no intention of giving up.

The two remained in the same position. Although Black Edge was strong, it was difficult to achieve its goal. It never managed to break through Moonlight and reach the peak where its opponent was.

In contrast, Rodriguez remained elegant, unharmed and calm, serenely surveying his intriguing challenger.

"I guess you're not planning to speak yet..."

This time it was Rodriguez's turn to attack. He bent his knees slightly, arched his back, and leaned forward, gripping the cross-shaped hilt of his sword behind his back in an eerie posture. The moonlight reflected off the sword, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Lin Dichen's eyes narrowed, and he spread his soul, but he could not find any trace of Rodriguez.

Under the scorching sun and with a sudden murderous intent, the boy's hair stood on end. His countless near-death experiences in the Qilin Prison had instilled in him a conditioned reflex; before his brain could even process it, his body had already instinctively lifted the rotten wood he relied on for survival.

The light flashed, and in an instant, Rodriguez's sword and man were right in front of him, displaying a suffocating sense of oppression for the first time.

throat!

The swords clashed heavily. The nameless blackwood blocked the cross sword but could not withstand the Holy Domain Soul. The powerful recoil knocked Lin Dichen off the mountain wall.

The black-clad swordsman staggered backward, his feet sinking into the mud. By the time he finally regained his footing, his hands were trembling slightly, and several bloody cuts appeared on his palms.

Lin Dichen gritted his teeth, looked up, and stared intently at Rodriguez on the mountaintop. He did not pursue him, but instead repeatedly demonstrated his power with the demeanor of a king.

The distance between the two widened again, just like the vast difference between them—this was what Rodriguez wanted Lin Dichen to see clearly.

The Crescent Moon Sword transformed the noble young master of Rhine City into an assassin walking in broad daylight, and this was only the beginning of the lunar phase; to this day, no Star Warrior has been able to witness the legendary full moon in its entirety.

This year's competitors are stronger than last year's, but Rodriguez is like a mountain standing in front of everyone, difficult to overcome.

The eliminated contestants, who had been given high hopes, had complicated expressions. Yero, Flando, the Undefeated Fist and the Lionheart Disciple, all the ace players from the various regions were no exception. The injured White Wolf Boy and Snow Leopard Girl sighed softly. They had failed, and Lin Dichen would also end in failure.

The frenzied shouts from the crowd couldn't reach the simulated battlefield, and the defending champion's spot in the finals was almost secured. But the boy didn't give up; he would continue fighting as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

A flame of annihilation quietly ignited in Lin Dichen's chest, spontaneously activating the Chaos Imprint, covering the damaged totem tattoo, and recharging the depleted soul circuits.

"Still not giving up?"

Rodriguez put away his smile, changed his stance from hiding his sword to holding Moonlight in front of him, his whole body glowing with a faint light, ready to strike.

Ekaterina's eyelids twitched. She had seen this before, and the audience and mentors were no strangers to it. The Crescent Moon Sword had amazed everyone in the group stage, but unfortunately, the lazy dragon rider girl was not present.

Nolan never imagined that she would step onto the final stage of the Star Tournament.

The branding granted the black-clad swordsman a new life, and the even more powerful and sharp black blade once again swept up the domain and rushed towards the mountaintop, while Moonlight was already prepared.

"Upwards!"

The sword flashed, its arc like a crescent moon, causing the entire simulated barrier to tremble violently, and the abundant spirit energy dissipated into the sky.

The clear sky over the Lie Ri Mountains vanished in an instant, and the hazy moonlight, though not intense, overshadowed the blazing sun; the phases of the moon had secretly altered the course of the day.

The hazy moonlight bathed the mountains, pouring down on every inch of land. It was breathtakingly beautiful, yet terrifying. The sharp, black blades vanished at the slightest touch, melting away into the moonlight without a doubt.

700. The suspense is gone.

As the moonlight faded, the Lie Ri Mountains were plunged into silent darkness; the outcome was already decided.

If Lin Dichen could control the laws with his Holy Domain Soul, perhaps Hei Feng would still have a fighting chance, but at this moment, his last glimmer of hope was mercilessly extinguished by the waxing crescent moon.

Rodriguez gazed at the night sky with a detached expression, while the arrogant challenger had fallen to the foot of the mountain and was barely breathing. The main stage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No matter how many times he saw the moon phase, he would still be amazed and mesmerized by it.

Seeing that Lin Dicheng was still able to move, or rather, was still breathing, the mentors breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat. Not everyone who saw the crescent moon could survive.

The black-clad swordsman, leaning on a rotten piece of wood, tried desperately to get up but to no avail; his trembling legs were covered in wounds.

Lin Dichen's entire body was covered in scorched skin, the marks from the moonlight were horrifying, he kept vomiting blood from his mouth and nose, his empty eyes were dim and he could faint at any moment.

No one knows what he is persisting in, but to be able to fight to this extent with the body of a near-saint has already surpassed most Saint-level warriors.

"Isn't that enough?"

Rodriguez sighed softly. He wanted to take back what he had said earlier. Glory was not what Lin Dichen pursued, and his sword was not without merit.

"Even if you could defeat me, your body wouldn't be able to withstand another battle. Give up. You're still young and have an unlimited future, but I don't have a next year."

This is Rodriguez's last Star Martial Arts Tournament before graduation. Whether he can end the tournament with a three-peat depends on the next match.
