Chapter 503

【Navia】: Seeing her looking like she's impervious to blades and swords... This is too terrifying!!

【Sayu】: What happened? Ah... please don't let me encounter such Fatui... (Hands clasped in prayer)

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

【Azhdaha】: I wonder if he's reached the level of one-punching Dvalin? (Pondering)

【Osial】: With Dvalin's level, couldn't he just tear his wings off by spreading his hands?

【Dvalin】: Fine, fine, you two are doing this, right? I'll show you how I die later in the video! (Annoyed)

On the Knights' training field.

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

The Mirror Maiden's power showed signs of slight decline, a detail Jean grasped.

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 naturally be the former, to prevent anyone from supporting the opponent.

But now that it was a one-on-one on the training field, she could naturally choose the latter.

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

After making the decision silently in her heart, Jean focused all her attention.

The Mirror Maiden could use prisms to achieve immobilization and the ability to shift her current position.

The Mirror Maiden, with her potential erupted, increased the speed of these movements many times over, reacting very quickly.

After a two-minute stalemate, Jean keenly sensed that the Mirror Maiden's power began to decline more rapidly.

Taking the opportunity, Jean raised the Favonius Sword in her hand, thrusting and flicking the long sword, and blood bloomed on the Mirror Maiden's shoulder.

The terrifying power was declining, the Mirror Maiden's physique 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 condition.

Her roaring voice gradually faded, 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 to announce.

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

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

Among the medical personnel, Barbara hurried to Jean's side to check her injuries.

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

"Sister... Miss Jean, are you okay?!" Barbara was somewhat panicked.

"I, I'm fine."

Jean was also somewhat flustered.

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

One followed the mother, the other followed the father, and the feelings between them were very subtle.

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

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

"This..." Barbara stood there, stunned.

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

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

At this time, Gu Chen was communicating with Dottore.

"I hear these body-refining techniques of the Knights all come from Mr. Gu's hand. Mr. Gu is truly gifted at such a young age." Dottore said with admiration.

"Indeed." Gu Chen nodded.

Dottore was stunned.

Indeed?

Shouldn't one be humble when praised?

You accepted my praise as a matter of course; how am I supposed to respond?

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

"Of course." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Dottore left with the Fatui.

Bishop Simon, seeing Frederica coming this way, also bid farewell and left with the others from the Church.

Eroch also left with the inspection team.

"Good lad, you didn't lose face for me!" Crepus walked over with a thick smile on his face, reaching out to pat Diluc, who was already about as tall as him, heavily.

Diluc smiled and said nothing.

After praising him for a moment, Crepus turned to look at Gu Chen and said: "Thanks to the Vice Grand Master's guidance, otherwise this lad might have embarrassed the Knights today!"

"How could that be?"

Gu Chen shook his head and then said: "Diluc is a genius. Master Crepus must have been teaching and training him since he was young. Thanks to you for training such an excellent Cavalry Captain for the Knights."

Hearing this, Master Crepus looked even happier and hurriedly said: "I hear the Knights have had high material consumption in daily life over the past two years. I will donate two hundred million Mora in my personal name!"

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

"Haha, it is I who should thank you. Diluc is so excellent now thanks to the Knights!" Crepus said with emotion.

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

Diluc, encouraged, held his head high and answered loudly: "Yes! I will certainly not fail the Vice Grand Master's high expectations!"

"Hey, this lad!"

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

Kaeya also came over to offer congratulations.

Crepus also patted Kaeya's shoulder: "You're not bad either, Adjutant, very good!"

Crepus's feelings for Diluc and Kaeya were the same, even though Kaeya was just an adopted son he had 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 set her mind at ease and said: "Well done."

Jean, praised by her mother, was somewhat shy.

Frederica's gaze fell on Gu Chen, her eyes filled with appreciation and satisfaction, and she said softly: "Mr. Vice Grand Master, feel free to visit the Gunnhildr clan when you have time."

Gu Chen nodded: "I will when I have time."

Afterward, Gu Chen's expression became serious: "Now, announcing the knighting orders!"

The knights, who had been discussing the previous matches, immediately fell silent, quickly arranged themselves into formations, and stood with solemn expressions.

"Jean, Diluc!"

Gu Chen picked up the document.

"Present!"

Jean and Diluc stepped forward.

"In view of the current Cavalry Captain Diluc's tenure..."

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

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

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

After the reading was finished, applause thundered.

Jean's work was mostly in administration, so her presence in the Knights, a martial organization, was lower than that of the high-combat-power knights on the front lines.

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

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

"Lad!"

Varka patted Diluc, bringing him back from his surprise, and then smiled: "You're coming of age soon. You'll have to treat us to a good drink then."

Diluc nodded heavily: "As I should!"

Immediately, he added: "But the Vice Grand Master is coming of age soon too, then..."
