Next day, early morning.
At dawn, the residents of the Asterisk City simultaneously began to open their Space Screen and entered the “Phoenix Festa” live channel.
From the live channel, almost everyone could see that in Sirius Dome, the spectator seats were already filled, buzzing with excitement as the audience looked at the stage in front, their eyes full of anticipation.
In fact, not only the spectators watching the matches in Sirius Dome but even the onlookers in front of their Space Screen were also filled with anticipation.
Because today’s match would be the final match of this edition of the “Phoenix Festa.”
Moreover, what’s more interesting is that among the contestants of the match, except for one, all the others were students who were unknown in their respective academies until the “Phoenix Festa” and gradually gained significant fame.
This point seemed to be perfectly exploited by the media, used for promotion, and the attention of this edition of the “Phoenix Festa” soared far beyond the previous one.
Not to mention, in this final match, two contestants still possessed Ogre Lux.
Even though one of them had a significant weakness, causing much discussion, no matter what, even negative publicity would increase attention.
So, this final match attracted the attention of the entire world.
This was not an exaggeration.
Originally, the so-called Festa was an event broadcasted worldwide.
Otherwise, Festa couldn’t be considered the world’s number-one event.
Therefore, today, the Asterisk City and every corner of the world are exceptionally lively. People in various cities simultaneously opened huge Space Screens, allowing the stage of Sirius Dome to clearly appear on them.
And so, the time for the match to begin gradually approached.
…
Sirius Dome, the contestant lounge of Jie Long Seventh Academy.
Fang Li and Cecily sat on the sofa at the same time, resting with their eyes closed.
Time passed slowly.
In the entire lounge, a quiet atmosphere had always pervaded.
If someone were here, they would surely notice that both Fang Li and Cecily had a faint Prana fluctuation in their bodies.
This was the breathing technique personally passed down by Fan Xinglou.
Using this breathing technique not only accelerated Prana’s recovery but could also keep Prana active for a short period, making it easier to mobilize during battles.
Moreover, this breathing technique was specialized by Fan Xinglou according to the characteristics of each disciple before she taught it to them.
Therefore, as disciples of Fan Xinglou, although Fang Li and Cecily’s breathing techniques were similar, there were some subtle differences.
For example, the Prana in Fang Li’s body, currently undulating, had a tranquil feeling, like a stealthy Death God in the darkness, making it feel profound and chilly.
On the other hand, the Prana in Cecily’s body, currently undulating, had a domineering feeling, like lightning descending from the sky, making it feel powerful and bright.
After not too long, as if Fang Li and Cecily had coordinated without prior arrangement, the Prana in their bodies suddenly converged, retracting into their bodies.
Soon after, Fang Li and Cecily slowly opened their eyes.
“Senior Sister.” Fang Li, without confirming the time, said with great certainty, “The time is up. We should go over.”
“Understood.” Cecily nodded, agreeing with Fang Li’s words.
The two of them exchanged a smile, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the door.
Their footsteps were surprisingly synchronized.
…
“Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh————!”
Today, the cheers echoing in Sirius Dome were more than three times higher than usual, making the entire ceiling seem to tremble slightly, and causing the air to become a bit chaotic.
The heightened enthusiasm directly led to a rise in temperature, making the atmosphere escalate to an unusual degree in a short period.
Under the influence of such an atmosphere, the live broadcast, amplified through microphones and speakers, also sounded more excited.
“Ladies and gentlemen! After two weeks of competition, today we have finally arrived at the ultimate showdown of the ‘Phoenix Festa’!”
“Similar to the previous ‘Phoenix Festa,’ there are also partners from Jie Long in the teams that have advanced to the finals. As a Senpai who graduated from the same academy, I am sincerely proud.”
“Of course, the teams that have advanced from Seidoukan Academy are equally powerful. I believe this final match will definitely not disappoint anyone!”
“At least, the previous matches have proven that.”
“Now, let us grandly introduce the contestants. First, from Seidoukan Academy, Amagiri Ayato and Sasamiya Saya!”
The lights on the stage dimmed for a moment, then focused entirely on the platform to the east, illuminating the gallery extending above the stage.
There, Amagiri Ayato and Sasamiya Saya gradually walked out, one with a tense complexion, the other expressionless, creating a sharp contrast.
The cheers of the audience immediately resounded.
The voice of the live broadcast followed suit.
“Shortly afterward, from Jie Long Seventh Academy, Fang Li and Cecily Wang!”
Spotlights again descended from above the stage, illuminating the platform to the west.
Fang Li and Cecily walked slowly on the gallery, moving forward under the resounding cheers.
Both sides had entered the stage, and their gazes met in midair.
Fang Li locked eyes with Amagiri Ayato.
Looking at the familiar face across from him, Fang Li smiled slightly and said, “Finally, we meet Amagiri San.”
“Eh?” Amagiri Ayato was slightly stunned, feeling somewhat uncertain, and said, “Do you know me?”
“Do I know you? In the current situation, it would be strange not to know you, right?” Fang Li chuckled. “I’m not saying I knew you from before, but because this is our first meeting, isn’t it?”
“That makes sense.” Amagiri Ayato’s smiled with some confusion as he spoke. “I thought you might have heard something about me from your Senior Brothers.”
After all, in the previous matches, Amagiri Ayato had successively defeated two Jie Long teams, including the Li siblings, all disciples of “Banyuu Tenra.”
So, Amagiri Ayato probably thought Fang Li intended to help his Senior Brothers seek revenge?
Unfortunately, that assumption was incorrect.
“The outcome between you and me has no private grudges involved.” Fang Li spoke indifferently. “I am only here to achieve my goal and I must win to do that.”
“So I am here to defeat you.”
