Seeing the thunderous sword light attack, Wen Dao raised his right arm almost reflexively. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe matrix shield on the right wrist blocked the incoming sword light with a gap of less than a fraction of a second.

Unlike when subjected to physical impact, the sword light of the energy state left a dark red slash mark on the transparent matrix, and Wen Dao felt a strong burning sensation coming from his right wrist. The overloaded energy overflowed to his right wrist, and Wen Dao hurriedly lifted the matrix, and the burning sensation disappeared.

While being horrified by the power of this sword light, Wen Dao couldn't help but be extremely angry. Had he hadn't erected his shield in time, the sword would have been enough to take him and Judy down. There is no grudge against each other, what is the reason for coming to this set when they meet for the first time!? When Wen Dao glared at him angrily, Judy next to him blew up his hair first.

"What are you doing?"

The beast-eared cook stared at the martial arts arena with her teeth, and the hair on her tail stood up in anger.

The object of the star, the blonde swordsman Arthur, walked towards this side with leisurely steps, and his almost arrogant gaze swept over Judy next to him and fell on Wen Dao.

"Ho ho, new here, good job. ”

“…… Thanks for the compliment. Not sure what the other party wanted to do, Wen Dao made a minimal response.

"Is it a force field master? good, worthy of being my opponent. Looking at the matrix platform at Wen Dao's feet, Arthur nodded happily, and then suddenly swung his lightsaber, pointing at Wen Dao who was stepping on the void from afar. "Let's duel! the newcomer, it's a man, just communicate with your fists!"

"Duel, duel?"

Because of the distance between their thinking circuits, it took Wendao a few seconds to understand Arthur's words, and then he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "What the hell is it that men communicate with their fists?" Or is he unheard, and the word "duel" actually has the meaning of "greeting" in the dragon language?

Because Arthur took it for granted, Wen Tao couldn't help but doubt the latter possibility. However, when he looked at Judy inquiringly, the Beast-Eared Lady stamped her foot and gave a crisp answer.

"Ignore him, stupid people are just jealous of Wen Dao. ”

"Hey, who's going to be jealous of him?

"Meow?" said Judy, glancing at the blonde swordsman Arthur with a cold and disgusted gaze. "I don't know who shouted a few days ago, 'Obviously a newcomer, he dared to drag His Highness to meow, I really envy me', 'Damn, you must teach him the rules of the Dragon Palace'?"

"Wait! I didn't say anything about dying of envy!"

"That is, everyone else says meow?"

"Uh-huh......"

Arthur was speechless for a moment, and Judy snorted coldly, putting on a look of "You're still three hundred years old when you fight with this girl".

"But, damn!" Arthur, who couldn't say anything about the beast's ear, swung his lightsaber and aimed at Wen Dao again. "Anyway, if it's a man, come to the duel! If you're a newcomer, if you're favored like Your Highness, of course you should have considerable strength, right? Or will you just eat with your mouth?"

"Stupid girl, how can you drag people around in a duel?" Judy reached out to protect Wen Dao behind her. "Xiao Daodao is a force field master, you are a star devouring swordsman, such a duel is simply bullying people!?"

"Men don't need women to intervene in the communication between men!

"Stupid, I can't understand people's meows, if you want to duel so much, let's fight you!"

"As a knight, I would never do anything with a woman!"

"What's this? You're looking down on my Ota Flow's Splitting Spine Meow?"

"If you're a man, I'll fight you for 300 rounds!

…… Across the matrix steps to the edge of the martial arts arena, the beast-eared cook and the blonde swordsman engaged in an extraordinarily fierce but low-level debate, and Wen Dao, who couldn't speak, watched with a dumb expression. Although he thanked Judy for his kindness in maintaining it, the title of "Little Daodao" made Wen Dao feel a sense of loss that was almost out of strength.

Compared to the sharp-toothed Judy, Arthur is obviously clumsy in his tongue, saying "if it's a man, he will go it alone" and "there is no room for women to intervene" over and over again. Wen Dao didn't hate such stupidity, and although he was a little annoyed by the sudden greeting at first, he really wanted to have a good conversation with this colleague now.

“…… Okay, let's due. ”

Seizing the gap between Arthur's overwhelming Judy in the debate, Wendao interjected.

"Meow?" Judy, who was flicking her tail proudly, paused when she heard this, and then turned around with a look of bewilderment. "Little brother, are you serious about meowing? or have you been infected by the stupid anger of the stupid man?"

"I think it's also important to be friendly with my colleagues. Wen Dao shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you hear that? Men should communicate with their fists!" Arthur, who was almost refuted by Judy, instantly rejuvenated, waving his fists excitedly, and casting a happy and approving look at Wen Dao. "Hmph, you are worthy of being a newcomer in His Highness's photo, so I recognize that you are still a little manly!"

"No, meow...... Stupid two more meows......" Judy covered her face with a look of despair.

"But I have the conditions. ”

Pretending to ignore Judy's sigh, Bundao approached Arthur, who was eager to take the plunge.

"Condition?" Arthur frowned. "Winning is winning, losing is losing, what are the conditions?"

"As a retainer serving His Highness, you must dedicate yourself to honing your skills. It's a matter of course to beat each other in what you're best at, and I don't think that's great. Wen Dao stared straight at Arthur. "Don't you think so?"

"Well, that'......" After a little contemplation, Arthur immediately accepted Wendao's proposition. "That's right! The knight must be a strong man with excellent mental and physical skills, and he must be the best in any field!"

"So the duel should be fought in two parts. Wen Dao chuckled and held out two fingers. "The first time you came according to your rules, the second time you had to follow my rules, okay?"

"No problem!

Arthur slapped his hands suddenly, and Judy next to him was stunned by the happy look of acceptance.

"Meow, that stupid guy actually listened to someone?"

Unlike the internal and external retainers who have regular duties every day, the miscellaneous retainers of Suzakuliao tend to only work when necessary, so most of them adhere to the principle of not interfering with each other, and live a leisurely life like a hermit in their respective living modules.

Of course, there are a few friends who can talk to each other once in a while, but today's situation is clearly beyond that.

In the meadow in front of Suzaku Liao, there are gathered retainers of the mechanical group represented by Samson. These creator freaks, who usually buried their heads in welding and gears, rarely walked out of the mechanical room overflowing with gasoline and rust, and now gathered in twos and threes, looking at the middle of the meadow with excitement and expectation.

In the Suzaku Dormitory at the back of the mechanical group, Ryugu Gardener's fairy Ryugu Ryu was lying on the railing hanging from the purple carrot vine, and several macaws were watching the meadow side of the meadow. Many of the residential modules from the third floor and above have also opened the windows on the side of the meadow. The retainers of the house, who were usually reluctant to go out, also learned to look at the meadow like Ryu.

In the middle of the meadow, where everyone's eyes were focused, Wen Dao and Arthur confronted each other. Judy, the beast-eared lady who served as the master of ceremonies for the duel, picked up the large kitchen knife that could almost be used as a bed, as if it were a signal flag.

It must be mentioned here that when Wendao accepted Arthur's request for a duel earlier, Judy, who was present, volunteered to be the dueling master. While formulating the rules of the duel in detail, the news of the duel was also posted on the internal forum of Suzaku Liao under the title "Newcomers Explode!

For the Baixia Palace, which has only a few more than 500 residents, this duel can be said to be almost news like a comet hitting the earth. The Suzaku people who received the news paid great attention to this, and the duel time was delayed by more than a quarter of an hour due to the spectators' request to prepare the necessities for watching the battle (Coke potato chips and fried chicken).

All preparations continued, and Judy, the master of ceremonies, finally reiterated the matter of the duel.

"Stupid on the left, using the Dragon Skystream Knight Sword, a professional Star Devourer Swordsman. ”

The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched slightly, and then he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and swung his blue light sword with a sneer.

"The newcomer on the right, using a controllable force field, is a professional force field master. ”

Wen Dao bowed slightly towards the mechanical squad who was whistling next to him, and then took a deep breath and activated the controllable force field.

"The duration of the duel is five minutes, during which you can use any weapon and move. As long as you can subdue Wendao, Arthur wins, and vice versa, Wendao wins. ”

It is a well-known fact that force field divisions are good at defense and weak at offense, and Judy specially formulated this rule for the sake of fairness. In other words, this duel is actually a duel between Arthur's breakthrough power and Wendao's defensive power. To win, Arthur must break through Wendao's matrix defenses in five minutes.

(The pressure is really bigger than then...... ）

Staring at the lightsaber in Arthur's hand, Fumi-Tao recalled the duel with Gapur at the Viper base.

Although Arthur looks like a stupid man with a tendon, judging from the previous sword training scenes, his strength as a swordsman should be undoubted. Although it is unclear what the origin of the "Star Devouring Swordsman" is, the blue light sword that can break through the matrix shield is undoubtedly very tricky, and in comparison, he can almost only rely on one move, "Matrix Trampling".

However, that attack on Gapur was a surprise attack blessed by Long Wei, and Arthur, who was on guard at the moment, would definitely not give him such an opportunity. Wen Dao stared at the sneering lightsaber, his palms covered with cold sweat.

At this time, the people of Suzaku Liao, who were holding their breath and staring at the duel, did not notice the figures of two outsiders on a giant cedar at the edge of the meadow......
