Chapter 319

[Navia]: I see her looking like she's invulnerable to swords... This is too terrifying!!

[Sayu]: What happened? Ah... please don't let me encounter such Fatui... (Hands together praying)

[Thoma]: The more I think about how the Fatui will become several times more terrifying after obtaining the body-refining technique, the more I feel the leader's power. The leader in this episode first appeared at eight years old. It is unknown when exactly he started cultivating the body-refining technique, so how strong is he? (Paimon? Surprised)

[Azhdaha]: I wonder if he has reached the level of one punch per Dvalin? (Pondering)

[Osial]: At Dvalin's level, couldn't he tear his wings off just by opening his hands?

[Dvalin]: Good, good, good, you two are doing this, right? I in the video will die for you to see later! (Annoyed)

On the Knights' training ground.

The power of the potion seemed to have a time limit.

The power of the Mirror Maiden showed signs of slight decline, and this detail was grasped by Jean.

If she fought with all her might, she could kill the Mirror Maiden, but she would inevitably be injured herself.

If she dragged it out for a while and then looked for an opportunity, she could easily kill the opponent.

Jean was already thinking that if she were on a chaotic battlefield, the optimal choice would of course be the former, to avoid anyone supporting the opponent.

And now it was one-on-one on the training ground, so naturally, she could choose the latter.

"After this time, I must work harder to improve myself~."

After making a decision silently in her heart, Jean was fully focused.

The Mirror Maiden can achieve the ability to fasten and move her current position through prisms.

The Mirror Maiden, with her potential exploded, increased the speed of these movements many times over, and her reaction was very rapid.

After a stalemate of two minutes, Jean keenly noticed that the Mirror Maiden's power began to decline more rapidly.

Taking the opportunity, Jean raised the Favonius Sword in her hand, stabbed out and picked, and blood bloomed on the Mirror Maiden's shoulder.

The terrifying power was declining, the Mirror Maiden's form was trembling, and her skin was cracking.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Jean's Favonius Sword pierced directly through the Mirror Maiden's chest.

The Mirror Maiden roared.

Jean withdrew her sword and retreated, staring closely at the Mirror Maiden's situation.

Her roaring sound gradually grew smaller, and her whole body went limp on the ground, gradually turning into a pool of dark purple blood under the gaze of countless eyes.

"Jean wins!"

Diluc stood up and announced.

As soon as the words fell, cheers sounded all around.

The Knights of Favonius defeated the notorious Fatui with a record of seven to zero!

Among the medical staff, Barbara ran to Jean's side eagerly to check her injuries.

Such a battle was too dangerous for Barbara, and she also saw that Jean had suffered some injuries!

"Sis... Miss Jean, are you okay?!" Barbara was a bit flustered.

"I, I'm fine."

Jean was also a bit flustered.

Both of them knew they were sisters, but they had been separated since childhood and were now gradually growing up.

One followed her mother, the other followed her father, and the relationship between the two was very subtle.

"If you don't bandage her, the wound will heal." Gu Chen's calm voice came.

Barbara was slightly stunned, and then she saw the slight injuries on Jean's body recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This..." Barbara was stunned on the spot.

"It's already healed, don't worry about me, I'll go report first."

After speaking, Jean walked quickly back to the viewing platform.

At this time, Gu Chen was communicating with Dottore.

"I heard that these body-refining techniques of the Knights all came from Mr. Gu's hands. Mr. Gu is truly gifted at such a young age." Dottore said admiringly.

"Indeed." Gu Chen nodded.

Dottore was stunned.

Indeed?

Shouldn't one be humble when praised normally?

You accepted my praise as a matter of course, how am I supposed to answer?

Dottore paused before laughing: "Then, shall today's exchange end here?"

"Of course." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Dottore left with a group of Fatui.

Bishop Simon also proposed to leave after seeing Frederica coming this way, and left with the people from the Church.

Eroch also left with the Inspection Team.

"Good boy, you didn't lose face for me!" Crepus walked over with a thick smile on his face, reaching out and patting Diluc, who was already about the same height as him, heavily.

Diluc smiled and didn't speak.

After Crepus praised him for a while, he turned to look at Gu Chen and said: "Thanks to the Vice Grand Master's teaching, otherwise this kid might have lost face for the Knights today!"

"How could that be?"

Gu Chen shook his head, then said: "Diluc is a genius. I suppose Master Crepus has been teaching and tempering him since he was a child. Thanks to you for teaching such an excellent Cavalry Captain for the Knights."

Hearing this, Master Crepus looked even happier and hurriedly said: "I heard that the Knights have consumed a lot of living materials in the last two years. I donate two hundred million Mora in my personal name!"

Varka's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh? Then thank you, Master Crepus!"

"Haha, it is I who should thank you. This kid Diluc is so excellent now, thanks to the Knights!" Crepus sighed.

Gu Chen turned his head to look at Diluc, raised his hand to pat his shoulder, and then nodded slightly: "Work hard, strive to achieve better honors next time."

Diluc, who was encouraged, held his head high and answered loudly: "Yes! I will definitely not live up to the high expectations of the Vice Grand Master!"

"Hey, this kid!"

Master Crepus laughed and scolded, his eyes full of gratification.

Kaeya also walked over to congratulate him.

Crepus also patted Kaeya on the shoulder: "You kid are not bad either, Chief of Staff, very good!"

Crepus's feelings for Diluc and Kaeya are the same, even if Kaeya is just an adopted son picked up.

After chatting here for a while, Lady Frederica had already come over. Seeing that Jean indeed only had some minor injuries and had recovered, she felt relieved and said: "Well done."

Jean, who was praised by her mother, was a bit shy.

Frederica's gaze fell on Gu Chen, with appreciation and satisfaction in her eyes, and she said softly: "Mr. Vice Grand Master, have time to sit at the Gunnhildr family."

Gu Chen nodded and said: "I will if I have time."

Subsequently, Gu Chen's expression became serious and he said: "Now, announce the commissioning order!"

The knights who were discussing the previous competition fell silent, quickly arranged themselves into a square formation, and stood still, with solemn expressions.

"Jean, Diluc!"

Gu Chen picked up the document.

"Here!"

Jean and Diluc stepped forward.

"In view of the current Cavalry Captain Diluc during his tenure..."

"In view of the current Vice Grand Master's assistant Jean during her work..."

"Grant Diluc Ragnvindr Knight—the title of Dawn Knight!"

"Grant Jean Gunnhildr—the title of Dandelion Knight!"

After the reading was finished, the applause was like thunder.

Jean's work is more in the aspect of government affairs, and for the Knights, a martial organization, her presence is lower than that of knights with high combat power on the front line.

But in the last battle today, Jean's strength was recognized by everyone!

And Diluc already had high prestige in the Knights, tempered by countless missions, and his strength was second only to Varka and Gu Chen, and no one raised any objections.

"¨[" Kid!"

Varka patted Diluc, letting him come back to his senses from the surprise, and then laughed: "You are about to become an adult, you must treat us to a good drink then."

Diluc nodded heavily: "It should be!"

Immediately, he said: "However, the Vice Grand Master is also almost there, by then..."
