The spells "Extreme Zero Freeze Wave" and "Solar Fire" are advanced magical techniques wielded only by a handful of grand magicians. The vast majority of the tens of thousands in the audience had only heard of these in legends. Witnessing these two highly advanced spells unfold before their eyes, they were utterly captivated, scarcely blinking.
While Yaye, Liviya, and other cherished companions were aware of my capabilities and harbored no concern, Julius and the old mage Linka were silently praying that I wouldn't "mistreat" the beautiful and gentle Princess Amber. Meanwhile, Ice Clear Shadow elevated her concern to a palpable level, her grip on my hand chilling, fearing any harm would befall me.
After three days of interaction, I had completely captured the heart of this "Snow Saint." The collision of these opposing energies, water, and fire, generated a deafening roar and a colossal shockwave. The powerful barrier boasted by the grand magician was torn apart like thin paper, releasing a ferocious surge of energy that forced the onlookers to hastily retreat.
Riding the current of energy, I ascended into the air. Not wanting to reveal my divine and demonic wings, I employed the "Levitation Spell." Although the energy flow was violent, it couldn't harm me. Amber unfolded her water-based defensive spell, the "Aqua Heavenly Wheel," and swiftly flew into the air to evade the energy flow. The judges on the stage collaborated to create defensive barriers, shielding themselves from the incoming energy flow.
I chuckled, "Princess, let me make the first move in the air; let's have another round." Subsequently, a gentle blue light shimmered around me as water elements gathered in abundance. Amber's face showed a trace of surprise. With her understanding of water magic, only the ultimate water spell, "Absolute Zero Space," required such an immense gathering of water elements, a feat she hadn't achieved.
Knowing the power of "Absolute Zero Space," she bit her silver teeth and exclaimed, "Mr. Wulai, please stop. Amber surrenders." I dispersed the gathered water elements and descended onto the uneven magic ice platform. Amber also retracted her thin wings and landed gracefully.
I approached, firmly holding her delicate hand, and said, "Indeed, Princess, your mastery of magic surpasses mine in terms of application and skill." Princess Amber blushed slightly and whispered, "No, I'm not Mr. Wulai's match at all. I, a water spirit, was defeated by water magic. I must thank you for your mercy."
At that moment, the announcer proclaimed, "The representative of Babunica Kingdom wins this match." I waved to the audience and telepathically transmitted to Ice Clear Shadow, "Sweetheart, thank you for your reminder. I will reward you properly."
In an instant, Ice Clear Shadow's cool jade-like face turned blush red. She glared at me fiercely, yet there was a shy charm as she lowered her beautiful head. Her demeanor deviated from her usual "Snow Saint" elegance.
Sensing her change, the great magicians beside Ice Clear Shadow were inexplicably amazed at her rare daughter-like charm. Only Julius and Linka glanced at me with contemplative expressions.
Amber reverted to her three-inch elf form, a blue light flashed, and she descended from the stage. I strolled down the ice platform with confidence, and several magicians used water magic to repair the stage.
Returning to my seat, I realized Liviya was nowhere to be found. Yaye pointed to the combat ice platform. I looked up and saw Liviya, wielding a longsword, engaged in an intense battle on the stage. Surprisingly, her opponent was Princess Fiora from the Kingdom of Rhein.
Liviya was a magical swordsman, restricted from using magic in combat matches. She relied solely on her swordsmanship, appearing delicate and feminine while displaying extraordinary skill against Fiora, who was also a highly skilled swordswoman. Both women were among the top ten beauties on the Holy Demon Continent, and even in the midst of their fierce battle, they moved with the grace of a dance, stunning everyone present.
Despite the appearance of danger, Liviya and Fiora's exchanges were not meant to cause harm. It was akin to a friendly sparring session, displaying their dazzling sword techniques. A great swordsman stood up and declared, "Ladies, please cease. This match is a draw."
The two women smiled at each other, sheathed their swords simultaneously, and walked down the ice platform hand in hand. The audience erupted in applause, welcoming the two outstanding swordswomen.
Liviya approached me, somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't win." I patted her rosy cheek and said, "It's alright. If you defeated Fiora, that would be the mistake. After all, she's our good friend. Besides, if you used magic to assist, Princess Fiora, a pure swordswoman, wouldn't be your match."
Liviya felt relieved and sat beside me. The magical competition proceeded with Babunica's representative, Yaye, taking the stage. She appeared like a celestial fairy as she gracefully approached the ice platform. Her opponent, representing the Ice and Snow Kingdom, had commendable magical abilities, even capable of advanced water magic. However, facing the Demon Realm Princess, Yaye, a simple "Dark Impact Cannon," easily expelled her from the magical barrier.
"Dark magic," the seven grand magicians murmured to themselves. They were already astonished by the appearance of a formidable martial artist from the Demon Realm, and now, a stunning beauty who effortlessly wielded fearsome dark magic. They couldn't help feeling a sense of apprehension.
Julius muttered to himself, "This scoundrel, I wonder where he found such two terrifyingly beautiful women. I'll have to ask him about it later."
Babunica's representative left the audience in awe. Most of the representatives chose to forfeit when faced with us, and the few who dared to challenge were at the mercy of Xiaonu and Yaye, devoid of any chance of victory.
After the battle with Amber, I refrained from participating. I enjoyed watching the splendid performances of my two precious companions while sitting with Orlina, who shot occasional resentful glances my way.
One day of the competition passed quickly. Afterward, the representatives returned to their lodgings to rest. Yet, wherever we went, people couldn't help but gossip and point fingers. Ah, the price of fame.
Upon returning to our residence, I didn't dismiss Yaye, and Xiaonu and Liviya returned to their rooms. I gestured for them to stay.
The three women understood what I had in mind, blushing profusely but standing meekly in the room, stealing occasional glances at me.
After the peculiar transformation of my body with the divine and demonic energies, my prowess in that area had become inexplicably potent, making Yaye and the others no match for me. Often, they would faint after only a short moment, necessitating their presence together for satisfaction.
Sigh, the struggles of being a man, neither weak nor strong, quite challenging indeed.
I hope I won't turn into a man consumed by lust in the future.
Standing beside me, Winged Robe emerged from the "Annihilation Ring." The four enchanting beauties,
