Chapter 77

Princess Yi Fu frowned slightly, seemingly anticipating something: "You mean"

"Slave duel." Cynthia announced proudly: "As one of the sequence members, you shouldn't refuse this legitimate competition of power, right?"

The crowd boiled over. Slave duels were not uncommon in the school, but a duel of higher specifications conducted by two geniuses of the probationary wizard sequence was considered relatively rare.

"Slave duels can demonstrate the cultivation ability and guidance level of apprentices, and are also an important way for sequence members to show themselves and improve their sequence ranking."

Noris continued to explain, showing off his knowledge to Luo En on the side:

"Cynthia's move is very clever. If Princess Yi Fu refuses, she will be regarded as cowardly, and her sequence points will definitely be deducted; if she accepts, with the strength of Cynthia's half-orc warrior cultivated for a long time, Princess Yi Fu has almost no chance of winning."

Princess Yi Fu was silent for a moment, a series of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, and finally she took out a bag of magic stone fragments from her robe as witness money:

"Since Senior Sister proposed to resolve the dispute with a slave duel, I naturally follow the school tradition."

"Refreshing." Cynthia showed a winning smile and also took out a bag of magic stone fragments from her bosom:

"With so many colleagues present, everyone will witness today's result."

Princess Yi Fu turned around and gestured to the back of the crowd.

A short female servant immediately led out a figure bound by iron chains.

It was a leopard-woman hunter. Although her body shape was better than most human women, she was only a little over 1.8 meters tall. Her whole body was covered with spotted short hair, and her muscle lines were smooth and full of power.

Her pupils were elongated vertical shapes, shining with cold light in the sun, sharp canine teeth were looming between her slightly pursed lips, and her long tail was swinging vigilantly.

"Li Yue, today is the moment to show your true value."

Princess Yi Fu said in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of rare gentleness: "Remember our training, focus on the battle itself."

The leopard-woman nodded slightly, a flash of determined resolution in her eyes.

Princess Yi Fu took out a small bottle from her bosom, which contained dark red liquid, exactly the bloodline activator specially made for her by Luo En.

"Take it." Princess Yi Fu ordered: "Don't worry about too many side effects, this formula has been improved."

The leopard-woman took the bottle and drank it in one gulp. The moment the potion entered her mouth, a heart-shaking change began to occur in the leopard-woman—

The spots on her skin began to glow, gradually changing from pale gold to lava-like orange-red, as if sparks were flowing under her skin.

The muscle lines became stronger and more powerful, and golden light could even be seen looming at the joints.

The most amazing thing was her eyes, the original vertical pupils completely turned into pure gold, shining with light like molten gold, as if two small suns.

She took a few deep breaths, adapting to the new power surging in her body.

Luo En observed the changes in the leopard-woman, his heart also filled with amazement.

Although this potion was formulated by him, the effect displayed now far exceeded his expectations.

Obviously, the leopard-woman herself possessed extremely high bloodline purity to be able to fully stimulate her potential by the bloodline activator.

At this moment, Li Yue's aura was completely different from before, and the sense of oppression even made some experienced apprentices feel uneasy.

"That should be... complete bloodline awakening!" Noris explained to Luo En on the side in surprise:

"It is rumored that only the monarch bloodline among the leopard-people can reach this level!"

Seeing this scene, Luo En's mind quickly flashed various information about beast-clan bloodline professions.

Wilderness Hunter, Weapon Master, Heart-eating Shaman, these are all extraordinary professions closely related to beast-clan bloodlines.

Each has its own unique power system and advancement route, and it is said that the best among them can rival formal wizards.

The bloodline stimulation displayed by the leopard-woman has already approached the entry threshold of the 【Wilderness Hunter】 profession.

And the upper limit of the beast-clan's extraordinary professions is not low, and the legendary "monarch" can even contend with Great Wizards...

"If I can obtain relevant extraordinary knowledge and training methods..."

Luo En thought: "Perhaps I can also unlock some similar career routes as backup options. But by comparison, wizards, knights, and potion masters are still my best choices."

Seeing the abnormality after the leopard-woman's bloodline activation, Cynthia just sneered and waved to the back again.

A burly gray-robed servant walked out, leading a half-orc warrior who was daunting.

This half-orc was over 2.5 meters tall, standing there like a small mountain, his skin was gray-green, covered with various scars left by fighting.

His chin was exceptionally developed, two fangs protruded upward from the corners of his mouth, his arms were as thick as tree trunks, every muscle was bulging like iron blocks, and his eyes were deeply sunken under the rough brow bone, revealing the ferocity of a beast.

"Grush." Cynthia walked to the half-orc and gestured for the other party to half-squat and lower his head.

She raised her hand to lightly stroke his face full of flesh, her voice carrying an irresistible sense of command: "Today you must win for me, otherwise..."

The remaining words were not finished, but a flash of fear flashed in the half-orc's eyes, obviously understanding the consequences of failure.

Cynthia took out a crystal fragment shining with blood light from the inside of her robe and forcibly stuffed it into the half-orc's mouth.

"Berserk Crystal!" Noris exclaimed in a low voice: "That is a buff item prohibited from being used in formal duels!"

The half-orc swallowed the crystal, his Adam's apple rolling as he swallowed it.

Immediately, his skin began to glow with a faint blood-red halo, his muscles obviously expanded a circle, and his eyes became more violent.

"This is cheating." Luo En frowned: "No one stops it?"

"Theoretically it is prohibited, but many high-level apprentices who know the rules will drill loopholes." Noris sighed:

"As long as it is not caught on the spot during the battle, this kind of preparation before the duel is often difficult to prove afterwards. After all, the rules of slave duels allow the master to provide some buffs to the slave before the duel, and there is no clear regulation on the type and limit of the buffs."

Saying that, he looked at the half-orc whose muscles were bulging and whose aura was violent to the point of being almost uncontrollable, and shook his head with some regret:

"It's just that to maintain the effect in the battle after using it so early, the dosage required is very large. I guess even if this half-orc can win the victory, he probably won't live long."

At the same time, Cynthia had walked to the center of the venue and announced loudly:

"Everyone, according to school tradition, we will resolve the dispute by way of a slave duel. The winner will have priority use of the star astrology ancient book, and at the same time, as a formal duel between members of the probationary wizard sequence, the result will be included in the sequence point evaluation."
