Chapter 8: System Upgrades
Edmund wanted to avoid the kick, but no matter how hard he tried, the speed of the kick prevented him, and he could only urge his fighting spirit and hold his breath.
"Bang. β
There was a muffled thud, and Edmund fell to the ground.
The handsome face, already red from congestion, covered his lower body tightly with his hands, curled up on the dueling table and couldn't move.
Watching Hammilton get kicked, he may not have felt anything, but when it was Edmund's turn to lie here, he deeply understood what an egg was... Hurt.
"Ding, congratulations on defeating the Bronze Horseman Edmund, character experience +7000. β
"Congratulations on moving up to level 6. β
"Congratulations on the character level being upgraded to level 7. β
"Current Character Level: Level 7 (9900/17000)"
The sound of the system sounded in his head like a cannon, but Pierce was a little confused, standing on the dueling ring and staggering, and then fell backwards uncontrollably.
It's just that he didn't fall to the ground, but lay down in Ivy's arms.
Snow-white fingers brushed across Pierce's blood-stained face, and Ivy looked at Pierce softly like a virtuous wife.
Tears dripped down and mingled with the blood on Pierce's face.
"Ding, the system upgrade conditions are met, and the system will be updated in 60 seconds......"

Pierce only felt that his vision was blurry, and he could only vaguely discern the outline of the person who had come before him, and at this moment he felt as if he had been drained, and even lifting his fingers was extremely luxurious.
Ivy grabbed Pierce's arm with both hands, but saw that the look in the latter's eyes was passing quickly.
"Pierce ......"
Ivy's tone trembled.
"Aiwei, I don't want to be your fiancΓ©, find a good family to marry in the future. β

"Now, no one dares to bully you anymore. β

"Pierce!"
Ivy shouted hoarsely.
The mournful shout, no one was moved.
Pierce lay quietly in Ivy's arms, the blood flowing from the wound stained Evi's shabby dress, and even the snow-white skin was stained with a layer of blood.
"Young Master, how are you!"
An old man over fifty years old rushed into the crowd quickly, and his fighting spirit invisibly pushed the people around him to the sides, so that he rushed to the duel table unimpeded.
At this time, Edmund had been carried down, although the fighting spirit had the effect of protecting the body, but the root of his life was hit hard, even if he didn't foam at the mouth, Edmund was not much better than Hammidon's situation, and it was very likely to be scrapped.
"Quick, go and contact the head of the family and carry the young master to the academy!"
The old man was extremely majestic, and the guards did not dare to delay, and directly carried Edmund, who had fallen into a coma, out of the crowd and rushed towards the west of the city.
A duel without suspense, but it ended in such a way.
No one expected that a dignified Bronze Horseman would be defeated by Pierce, but after seeing the girl holding the corpse on the stage, no one would say anything more.
The arrival of the old man caused the onlookers on the duel stage to disperse quickly, Edmund was in desperate danger, and the Wilson family would not give up, I am afraid that the girl would not escape her doom after all.
The crowd dispersed, and there was no one else on the dueling table except for the guards.
The old man turned around, but there was an extra dagger in his hand.
The person who dares to hurt the Wilson family, and he is still a civilian, although the kingdom will never be held accountable regardless of life and death on the dueling table, but who will say anything about killing a helpless girl?
The old man's figure flashed, and he appeared on the dueling table.
Several guards were about to stop, but they were suppressed by a powerful momentum, and the majestic fighting spirit was like a sharp blade around their necks, as long as they dared to step forward to stop them, the old man would not be so polite again.
The guards hesitated, and the old man slowly approached Evie.
The old man first glanced at the corpse in the girl's arms to make sure that the person was dead, and then looked at the girl with a fierce look.
Something so big happened, just a girl can't bear any responsibility at all, it's better to kill it directly.
"Pierce.... I'm your fiancΓ©e, I'm not going anywhere..."
Ivy cried so much that she didn't react to the old man who came with a knife, maybe in her heart, she would prefer to die with Pierce.
"Since you love each other so much, why don't I help you. β
The old man clenched the dagger, and his fighting spirit rolled up like muffled thunder, and the strength of the Silver Seventh Order was fully revealed.
The seemingly ordinary old man turned out to be a powerful silver knight, and it was as high as the seventh order, and it was completely possible to impact the golden knight.
The guards consciously took a step back, and with their strength, they were not qualified to meddle at all.
The old man swung his dagger violently, and with a flick of his fingers, the blade shot out like lightning, aiming straight at Ivy's chest.
"Pierce, I'm here to accompany you. β
Ivy didn't even raise her eyes, and quietly pressed her face to Pierce's head, ready to die.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the dagger that flew in front of Ivy was violently bounced away by something, and the violent impact formed a spark, and the dagger broke inch by inch and fell to the ground.
The old man raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked to the side.
Sure enough, a young knight approached this direction, with a noble and warm smile, a face that was extremely approachable, and there was an innate attraction in his gaze.
"What do you mean, Lord Horace?"
The old man didn't understand, could the other party stop himself for the sake of a civilian girl?
The young knight shook his head slightly, but did not answer immediately.
"Okay, I see. β
The old man nodded, turned around and walked towards the audience.
The guards sighed, although the Wilson family was powerful, the rules of the dueling table were dead, and it was really not so easy to break.
Sou!
A fierce wind suddenly hit.
The young knight smiled and waved his hand, not seeing what he was doing, but the dagger that flew behind him was bounced off the air.
The old man's pupils shrank suddenly, and then his chest seemed to be hit by a huge force, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his face turned much paler.
"Your Excellency is really amazing. β
The old man clutched his chest, didn't dare to stay longer, and turned around and left directly.
Although his tone was tough, the old man understood very well that he had already sensed the murderous aura in the other party's eyes, and if he didn't leave, he might not be able to get out so easily.
After the old man left, the young knight's face turned cold, and the palm on the hilt of the sword slowly loosened.
Eyes touched Pierce, and the young knight reached out and tapped on him a few times, but Evie didn't stop her, because she knew that the other party had saved herself, maybe ..... Also able to save Pierce.
The young knight stood up, and Ivy stared at the former, her eyes full of pleading.
"He's dead. β
