At this moment, the attention of everyone in the Sirius Dome converged on Amagiri Ayato's body.
The live broadcast fell silent.
The cheers of the audience came to a halt.
The collision sounds between Cecily and Saya also ceased.
Even the trembling of Bo Xie and the energy sword body of the Ser-Versta stopped.
Only the Prana of Amagiri Ayato's body continued to ripple through the air, creating a sound akin to a strong wind in the area.
In this situation, the dense Prana unexpectedly caused an excess reaction of Mana, leading to chaotic fluctuations, and stirring up a wild wind.
Without any hesitation, Fang Li stepped on the ground, swiftly avoiding the incoming gusts of wind, and distanced himself from Amagiri Ayato.
The soaring Prana began to slowly retract, withdrawing into Amagiri Ayato's body.
The wild wind started to dissipate and the pressure began to diffuse.
Amagiri Ayato gradually stood up in this manner, raised his hands, and looked at his palms as if finding it incredibly unbelievable, then clenched them slightly.
Seemingly confirming something, Amagiri Ayato remained silent for a while, then lifted his gaze and asked while looking at Fang Li, "Why?"
Amagiri Ayato's question didn't need clarification regarding what it was about. Besides Fang Li lifting the seal on his body, what other question could there be?
Although Amagiri Ayato didn't know how Fang Li achieved it, he was sure that Fang Li had indeed removed the seal on his body. Therefore, it was natural for Amagiri Ayato to have this question.
After all, Fang Li and Amagiri Ayato were neither relatives nor friends and until now, they hadn't even met.
In that case, why did Fang Li help him remove the seal?
That was what Amagiri Ayato wanted to know.
It was more important to him than knowing how the seal was removed.
In response, Fang Li just smiled indifferently while casually saying, "Consider me an idle person with nothing better to do at the moment."
"Is that so?" Amagiri Ayato couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Even so, I have to thank you. You've really done me a great favor."
"No need for thanks." Fang Li pointed Bo Xie in Amagiri Ayato's direction and replied, "When I snatch the championship from you, you won't feel like thanking me anymore."
"Even if that's the case, I will still be grateful to you." Amagiri Ayato said earnestly, "You helped me and that's a fact. Regardless of anything, I will appreciate it."
"However, me using surrender and concession as a thank-you gift, you probably wouldn't like that, right?" Amagiri Ayato continued, "So, I will do my best to face you in battle."
Saying these words, Amagiri Ayato began to walk out slowly.
In his hands, the Ser-Versta was naturally gripped in a seemingly effortless manner, exuding a sense of lifting weight with ease.
"Ayato…" Saya seemed to understand that something had changed in Amagiri Ayato's body, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Junior Brother, be careful." Cecily wore a serious expression as she spoke, she had evidently sensed a threat from Amagiri Ayato's body at this moment.
But there was no need for Cecily to remind him as even Fang Li could clearly perceive it.
Although there seemed to be no changes on the surface, the Prana within Amagiri Ayato's body, which had previously erupted like a volcano and was often uncontrollable, became as gentle as flowing water, smoothly coursing through his body.
Fang Li knew that Amagiri Ayato had truly undergone a transformation.
If, in ordinary circumstances, Amagiri Ayato's Inner Ranking in Seidoukan Academy is only at a certain rank, and Amagiri Ayato with the first stage of the seal unlocked holds the first place in the sequence rankings, competing on par with the likes of Fang Li, Cecily, and Zhao Hufeng, then the current Amagiri Ayato might be unparalleled in the entire Asterisk City.
This is the transformation.
Perhaps, at this moment, Amagiri Ayato could even hold his ground against Sylvia and Wu Xiaofei.
"Very good…" Fang Li chuckled.
"It wouldn't be fun otherwise…"
A dense Prana suddenly surged violently from Fang Li's body, causing blue spark-like fragments to hover in the air.
"Clang—!"
In Fang Li's hands, the pure white Ogre Lux suddenly flashed with white light, gradually shrinking in size until it became dagger-sized.
In the next moment, Fang Li's foot stomped on the ground, and his entire figure shot out violently.
Facing the unsealed Amagiri Ayato, Fang Li could no longer hold back.
The dagger-sized Bo Xie moved silently, tearing the air apart directly, and the sharp sound of the wind made the atmosphere turbulent.
"Flashing Scabbard-Eight Falcons!"
Fang Li tightly gripped the dagger, and his whole person turned into a flash, darting forward like a falcon swooping from low altitude.
His speed was surprisingly quick and a cold glint entered Fang Li's field of vision.
Amagiri Ayato lifted his head, and with a sudden step forward, his body mysteriously sidestepped, evading to the side.
"Chi—!"
In the sharp sound of the wind, the sharp dagger with a chilling glint grazed Amagiri Ayato's chest and flew past.
Clearly, his speed was much slower than Fang Li's, but Amagiri Ayato effortlessly avoided the strike of the Flashing Scabbard.
In his hands, the Ser-Versta was raised.
"Amagiri Bright Dragon Style—Beginner Sword Technique—Four Wasps!"
The pitch-black Sword instantly, like a bright moon, first drew a round trajectory and then, like the stinger of a poisonous wasp, suddenly surged, thrusting forward.
That thrust was already reaching its peak and the power behind that strike was definitely not inferior to Fang Li's Eight Falcons.
"Clang—!"
The crisp collision sound rang out in the surroundings.
The forcefully thrust Ser-Versta finally heavily fell on the pure white dagger, stabbing the slender blade and creating sparks.
However, Fang Li's hand felt a slight numbness at the moment of impact. The powerful force shook his feet against the ground, and he retreated more than a dozen steps.
Not only his speed but also his power had increased at this moment. This was Amagiri Ayato's power.
And no, this wasn't an increase in power; it was just that Amagiri Ayato's movements had fully recovered.
Just as Cecily and Zhao Hufeng mentioned before, the sealed Amagiri Ayato's movements felt awkward and difficult.
Now, with the seal fully released, it was like a heavy chain that had been shackled to the body was finally unfastened. Gears that had been unable to find synchronization smoothly meshed together. Amagiri Ayato's exertion and movements became smooth, resulting in this outcome.
Therefore, while Fang Li was still retreating, Amagiri Ayato suddenly moved. Like a flash of lightning and rushed towards Fang Li.
"Amagiri Bright Dragon Style—Intermediate Sword Technique—Thousand Edges Separation!"
Fang Li only felt his vision blur, and Amagiri Ayato had already closed in at an incredible speed. With a twist of his figure, the Ser-Versta in his hand suddenly slashed horizontally, resembling a bright light and cutting toward Fang Li.
This strike was even more swift than before.
Fang Li hastily raised the dagger, blocking it in front of him.
"Clang—!"
In the tolling bell-like sound, amidst the bursting sparks, Fang Li was sent flying.
