Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

They all possess a kind of magical power that seems to conceal a ferocious beast within them!

Natsu, who possesses this magical power, is a user of Dragon Slayer Magic!

Could it be Laxus...?

Just as a certain guess arose in Li Xiaoxi's mind, an old voice echoed throughout the guild from the main entrance.

"Natsu is telling the truth!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the members of the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov walked in from outside and uttered a surprising statement.

"Natsu is indeed a mage who has mastered fire-based Dragon Slayer magic, which means Natsu is a Dragon Slayer mage!"

"Dragon Slayer Mage..." Everyone looked at Natsu with astonishment, who had just looked like he was about to cry but now looked smug.

"seriously?"

"A Dragon Slayer Mage?"

"I never imagined that such ancient mages would actually appear in Fairy Tail..."

"And it's just a child..."

Aside from the mages in the Fairy Tail guild, Erza also spoke with great interest to Li Xiaoxi beside her.

"That kid named Natsu seems pretty good."

"Fire-based Dragon Slayer Magic?" Gray, still lying on the ground, stared intently at Natsu and grinned.

"He's interesting, a guy worth a fight!"

"Hmph!" Natsu, like a little man with a long nose, stood with his hands on his hips and chest out, laughing loudly.

"How about it? Scared now?"

"Isn't this a good idea?" Erza, who was somewhat eager to try, stepped forward with a smile.

"How about we have a competition?"

"A contest?" Everyone present immediately erupted in noise, as if they wanted to stir up trouble.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Hey kid Natsu, how about you have a match with Erza?"

"Let's witness the power of a Dragon Slayer Mage!"

"With you?" Natsu's eyes lit up, and he jumped out with excitement.

"Fine! I'll defeat you! That will prove I'm stronger than that bastard!"

"Idiot!" Gray, unusually, didn't retaliate, but instead looked at Natsu with pity.

"You'll see just how terrifying Erza really is in a moment!"

Encouraged by the entire Fairy Tail guild, Natsu unsurprisingly agreed, and Erza also seemed rather impatient, indicating that she had genuinely developed an interest in Dragon Slayer Magic.

Unfortunately, Erza is destined not to be able to make an appearance today.

“Erza!” Li Xiaoxi suddenly raised her head and said this.

"Why don't you let me have this match?"

The entire room fell silent.

"Xiao hope?" Erza looked at Li Xiao Xi with a puzzled expression.

"Are you an idiot?!" Gray exclaimed, his expression one of utter astonishment.

"Even if that spiky-haired idiot is weak, he's still a mage. Li Xiaoxi, you haven't even learned magic yet, why are you jumping out here?!"

"You haven't learned magic yet?" Natsu was even more surprised.

"How are you going to fight me if you haven't learned magic?"

Not to mention Erza, Natsu, and Gray, everyone in the Fairy Tail guild looked completely puzzled.

"Xiao Li, Xiao hope, don't be impulsive!"

"Even if you want to compete with others, you'll have to wait until you learn magic, right?"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Let's wait until I learn magic!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxi smiled without saying a word, her gaze meeting Natsu's somewhat confused expression.

"How about it? Want to give it a try?"

Seeing that Li Xiaoxi showed no sign of giving up, everyone except Erza started discussing it amongst themselves.

“Natsu!” Makarov called out.

"Why don't you give it a try with Li Xiaoxi!"

"Alright!" Although he didn't know what was going on, Natsu still clenched his fist with enthusiasm.

"Since the president has said so, don't regret it later!"

Hearing Natsu's words, Li Xiaoxi didn't say anything, but slowly nodded, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

Just as Erza said, Li Xiaoxi did indeed become interested in Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, it's not simply because Dragon Slayer Magic is a lost magic or because it's a powerful magic used to fight dragons.

……

In the open space in front of the Fairy Tail guild gate, a group of people had formed a circle, surrounding the two young boys.

"Go for it, Xiao Li and Xiao hope!"

"You can't lose either! Dragon Slayer Mage!"

"Go ahead and fight!"

“Alright!” Standing opposite Li Xiaoxi, Natsu looked at Li Xiaoxi, who was standing there casually with one hand on the scabbard of her knight's sword at her waist, raised a fist, and his face was full of excitement.

"I am coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a considerable amount of magical power slowly rose from Natsu's raised fist, and a flame suddenly burst into flames from his fist. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he shouted and charged straight at Li Xiaoxi.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist—!"

When Natsu was less than two meters away from Li Xiaoxi, he leaped up, raised his fist high, and with flames slightly gathering on it, punched Li Xiaoxi hard in the chest.

A gentle breeze ruffled the hair on Li Xiaoxi's forehead, revealing a pair of deep, jet-black eyes beneath her bangs to Natsu. Staring at the flame-covered fist, Li Xiaoxi calmly took a step to the left just before it reached her chest.

The training over the past few months has honed Li Xiaoxi's reflexes to an exceptional level.

In Li Xiaoxi's opinion, Natsu's punch was incredibly slow compared to Erza's lightning-fast slash.

Thus, Li Xiaoxi's precise step perfectly dodged Natsu's oncoming fiery fist. With her body slightly to the side, her hand, as if seizing an opening, slipped through Natsu's arm and landed lightly on Natsu's shoulder as he lunged at her with the fist.

"Bang—!"

With a muffled thud, Natsu, struck by Li Xiaoxi's palm, was struck as if by lightning. He let out a muffled groan and flew backward at an even faster speed than when he came, finally crashing to the ground not far away with a cry of pain, falling flat on his back.

All surrounding sounds vanished instantly.

Chapter 222 Li Xiaoxi Becomes Stronger

Seeing Natsu being swiftly and decisively knocked to the ground by Li Xiaoxi, the Fairy Tail members around him, after a brief moment of silence, quickly erupted into chaos.

"real or fake?"

"This Dragon Slayer Mage is way too weak, isn't he?"

"No, no, no, Natsu is quite capable. His magical power is outstanding among his peers. Apart from Erza, only Gray in the guild can compare to Natsu!"

"So, it's not that Natsu is too weak, but that Hikari is too strong?"

"I knew it! That kid wouldn't just have the advantage of powerful magic all the time!"

The mages of Fairy Tail kept making a fuss. As members of the same guild, adults, and mages, they could see how capable Natsu was, and naturally, they could also understand Li Xiaoxi's true abilities.

However, precisely because of this, their highly anticipated Dragon Slayer was defeated in a single move during their mere encounter, a sudden turn of events that caught everyone present off guard.

Below the stage, looking at Natsu who had been knocked down, Gray's face was also filled with disbelief, and his mouth was agape in an "o" shape.

"How did this guy become so strong?"

Makarov, who was standing slightly forward in the crowd, also opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Xiaoxi, who was casually resting her hand on the scabbard of her knight's sword at her waist, with little change in position. He then glanced at Erza beside him, who looked completely at ease and unsurprised, and couldn't help but smile.

"You've grown up..."

The surrounding noise seemed to wake Natsu from his daze. He rolled over, stood up, and glared fiercely at Li Xiaoxi.

"How dare you lie to me?!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoxi said, somewhat bewildered.

When did I lie to you?

“You…” Natsu shouted angrily.

You lied to me and said you don't know magic!

"First of all, I never said that. Secondly, even if I did, I didn't lie to you!" Li Xiaoxi raised her hand, both amused and exasperated, and flipped through the pages.

"What I just used was a very ordinary attack, without any magic power at all. You're not trying to say that this is magic, are you?"

Natsu choked for a moment, then a surge of anger rose within him.

"Are you saying you can defeat me even without magic?!"

With Natsu's angry shout, a burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted from Natsu's body, engulfing his entire form. Judging from the slight distortion of the air around Natsu, the temperature was clearly not low, much stronger than the fire fist Natsu had just used.

This change caused people around to gasp in surprise, even Li Xiaoxi was taken aback.

He could clearly feel that as anger appeared on Natsu's face, the magic power within Natsu's body increased to some extent, and even the flames on his body became much stronger, as if all the emotions in his heart had been transformed into flames without change.

Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic can actually change depending on his emotional state?

Is this the lost magic of ancient times?

"Watch me defeat you!"

Natsu sprang up like a crouching cheetah, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and shot forward.

The flames on his body drew a long tail of fire, making Natsu, who charged out, look like a fiery meteor. Wherever he passed, stone chips and sand flew everywhere, and the temperature in the air rose sharply. Even Li Xiaoxi felt her face become much warmer.

Amidst the still-lingering gasps of surprise, Natsu, transformed into a fiery meteor, swiftly lunged in front of Li Xiaoxi, gathering all his flames and charging towards her with fury.

"Watch this! The Fire Dragon's Horn—!"

The sudden surge in strength caused Natsu's attack to generate a powerful, oppressive force, causing Li Xiaoxi's expression to slowly harden.

However, Li Xiaoxi showed no intention of backing down.

With her right hand gently resting on the hilt of her knight's sword at her waist, Li Xiaoxi bent her body, like a lion poised to pounce. After a moment of silence, she shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, meeting the oncoming fiery meteor head-on.

"drink----!"

Amidst a cold shout, a dazzling sword light suddenly appeared from the arena, amidst the surprised, astonished, and amazed expressions and gazes of everyone around. Like a waning moon in the night, it seemed capable of tearing through space, and together with a clear sword cry, it fiercely clashed with the fiery meteor.

"laugh----!"

The intense clash that was expected did not occur.

The crescent-shaped sword light, like a mere illusion, swept past the fiery meteor as if cutting through water, flashing by in an instant, and finally disappearing from the fiery tail of the meteor.

After the crescent-shaped sword light swept out from the end of the fiery meteor, the sword light and the fiery meteor mysteriously disappeared at the same time, vanishing without a trace, as if they had never existed in the first place.

In the center of the arena, Li Xiaoxi still had one hand on the hilt of her knight's sword at her waist, while Natsu remained in a crouching cheetah-like position, ready to pounce. They both lowered their heads, their expressions unreadable, as if nothing had happened.

However, no one would believe that what just happened was an illusion.

Because the air still retained a temperature that hadn't dropped, and the gravel and dust in the area hadn't yet dispersed.

Li Xiaoxi and Natsu have even switched places, facing away from each other, completely opposite to their initial confrontation.

Everyone in Fairy Tail instinctively held their breath and stopped making a sound.

Makarov, Erza, and Gray also stared intently at the two on the field, their expressions fixed as they watched quietly.

The silence in the arena was broken not long afterward.
