Chapter 826

Miss Qingque: "Oh my, you're really good at making excuses!"

The video continues.

After the interview, March 7th went to do her actual work.

She observed for a moment, then approached a contestant from Zhaoqing nearby.

【Damn it, I've long heard of Yanqing's reputation as a Xiao Guard—I came here just to meet him and spar with him.】

【Who could've imagined he took on a disciple and had his disciple replace him to defend the platform?】

【This is a disgraceful act of fleeing without fighting, in Zhaoqing!】

【Who exactly is this March 7th who's temporarily replacing him?】

As she drew closer, March 7th heard the Zhaoqing contestant muttering nonstop.

Seizing this opportunity, March 7th began observing his weapon.

【Besides the longsword on his back, this contestant is also carrying a electromagnetic crossbow.】

【Ah… I didn't know I could use multiple weapons at once—I should've brought my own bow.】

Stelle: "Electromagnetic crossbow????"

Stelle: "This thing sounds like it has serious destructive power."

Paimon: "Can you really use any weapon in the Martial Exhibition?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Uh… there are hardly any major restrictions."

Hearing Yanqing: "It all depends on the contestant's creativity."

Silver Wolf: "So it's fine if I bring Sam? Right?"

Miss Yunli: "Well, it's not impossible."

Miss Yunli: "I'd actually like to fight a powerful mecha."

Botiao: "Hey, he's got no limits—unrestricted combat!"

Botiao: "Pretty interesting. I like it."

March 7th: "Oh dear, if weapons aren't restricted, I should've brought a powerful one too."

Stelle: "Bring Himeko's railgun."

Stelle: "Whomever looks tough, just blast them!"

Himeko: "Cough… that might… not be very appropriate?"

Furina: "By the way, wouldn't this turn into a weapons showdown?"

Furina: "Whoever has the better weapon wins?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Not exactly—it's still restricted."

Hearing Yanqing: "Weapons that are too absurd are not allowed."

Ying: "I feel like this Martial Exhibition will be incredibly exciting."

The video continues.

【Little girl, hello.】

【Are you here to join the platform defense competition too?】

The Zhaoqing contestant noticed March 7th staring at him and greeted her.

【That's right—I'm March 7th.】

March 7th nodded in reply.

【What?!】

【You're March 7th!!】

Upon hearing this, the Zhaoqing contestant was utterly stunned.

【Don't worry—I'm just a swordsman who's practiced for half a month.】

March 7th signaled for him not to be so shocked,

that she was merely a beginner in swordsmanship.

【March 7th, the one standing before you is…】

【A Cloud Rider veteran who has trained swordplay for over two hundred years!】

The Zhaoqing contestant crossed his arms,

wearing a confident expression.

【Playing the fool to make your opponent underestimate you is also a tactic, isn't it?】

Seeing his expression, March 7th thought to herself slyly.

Xiangling: "Huh??"

Xiangling: "How much?"

Xiangling: "Trained swordplay for over two hundred years??"

Xiangling: "Good heavens, are all the contestants in the Martial Exhibition like this?"

Xiangling: "March 7th's training time doesn't even reach a fraction of his!"

Hu Tao: "No wonder they're long-lived—just casually hundreds of years old."

Hu Tao: "But practicing swordsmanship isn't just about who trained longer, is it?"

Hu Tao: "Look at Hearing Yanqing and Miss Yunli—they're young, yet their swordplay is extraordinary."

Xingqiu: "In my view, talent matters more."

Xingqiu: "By that logic, even though March 7th has trained for only a month or so, she may not be inferior to this two-hundred-year veteran swordsman."

Paimon: "Miss March 7th deliberately said earlier that she had only been practicing the sword for half a month."

Paimon: "That was to lull her opponent, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Playing the pig to eat the tiger."

Miss Qingque: "But the problem is, Miss March 7th, are you a pig that can eat a tiger?"

March 7th: "Ah, this..."

March 7th: "Maybe... probably... perhaps... right?"

The video continued.

March 7th bade farewell to this Yaoqing contestant,

and began gathering more intelligence together with Miss Yunli, knowing both oneself and the enemy.

【Looking for me? Hmm, is there something you want to ask?】

This time, the two of them came before a Cloud Knight soldier.

【Um, excuse me, do you have any weaknesses?】

0....... 0

March 7th observed the Cloud Knight's appearance and could not help asking.

【If you insist on asking my weakness... the moment I open my mouth, it kills the mood — does that count as a weakness?】

【I see, Miss March 7th, Miss Yunli, I'm not a contestant. I'm a guard in charge of event security.】

Seeing the two of them had mistaken him for a contestant, this Cloud Knight hurriedly explained.

【Ahem... then have you noticed anything unusual?】

March 7th covered her embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.

【Nothing unusual — you could say it's all calm on the wolf front.】

The moment those words left her mouth, March 7th and Yunli fell silent at the same time.

【Sure enough, killed the mood again... did you two get the punchline?】

【"Waves" and "wolves" are homophones — it's hard not to laugh.】

This Cloud Knight began explaining the punchline to the two who were exchanging helpless glances.

【This guy is actually explaining a joke!】

Yunli laughed in spite of herself.

【Sigh, killing the mood the moment I open my mouth — that really is my weakness, after all.】

Tighnari: "...."

Tighnari: "In this Cloud Knight soldier, I saw the shadow of someone I know."

Cyno: "What? Thinking about me?"
