White Feather Dove finally matched with an opponent of equal strength.
Her expression serious, she steadied her footing and raised her sword horizontally, blocking the enemy’s Beast Fist with a resounding thud.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Zhuanghan Ge roared loudly, swinging both fists wildly and unleashing a terrifying Phantom Combo.
White Feather Dove dodged repeatedly, combining parries and deflections to neutralize every strike of the enemy’s fists.
“Not bad.” Qingshamu commented sharply from the sidelines.
She had initially feared that Baicheng would foolishly continue trading blows and injuries, but now it seemed she was quite clever.
She only absorbed attacks she could endure, while completely avoiding those she couldn’t.
This showed that White Feather Dove was no reckless brawler; she had absolute judgment over her opponent’s attacks.
In short, she had two different fighting styles for dealing with novices and experts, seamlessly switching between them.
Such wisdom in my baby—truly worthy of being my daughter.
“Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!”
White Feather Dove raised her hand and unleashed Unlimited Stab, instantly stealing Zhuanghan Ge’s skill and transforming it into her own sword technique.
Zhuanghan Ge failed to dodge in time and was stabbed dozens of times.
His school uniform was shredded, and his muscular body was riddled with small blood holes, though the wounds quickly stopped bleeding and healed.
Close-combat wild beasts didn’t just have tough hides; some special individuals possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities.
Zhuanghan Ge’s base level must be pretty high.
“Whoa!”
Zhuanghan Ge traded injuries recklessly, charging forward with a series of Rune Sword thrusts and suddenly unleashed a violent straight punch that smashed into White Feather Dove’s face.
White Feather Dove staggered back several steps, but looking closely, her exquisitely beautiful face showed no damage.
Only her nose was slightly red, and her center-parted hairstyle had shifted back a centimeter or two.
Yet she wasn’t completely unscathed. The next moment, blood flowed freely from her nose, evidently shaken by the force of the blow.
Moreover, White Feather Dove’s blood was extraordinarily unique—it was golden. Upon contact with air, it turned into golden fine sand and scattered away with the wind, a strange yet sacred sight.
“What kind of wild beast is this girl?”
Zhuanghan Ge, who had been fearless and unafraid to clash head-on with anyone, was now beginning to feel fear.
He sensed that this transfer student’s identity was far from simple.
His punch seemed to hit her face, but in reality, she had taken the utmost backward step, her nose almost touching the fist, so the blow didn’t actually land.
White Feather Dove wrinkled her nose but never once showed any change in expression. There was no useful information to be read from her face.
“Hoo~”
In the blink of an eye, the transfer student calmly found the enemy’s weak point, suddenly crouched low, and slid along the ground like a flash, disappearing into the enemy’s blind spot.
“What!?”
Zhuanghan Ge was shocked. By the time he reacted, the Rune Sword had already thrust upward from below, stabbing his chin.
He had leaned back quickly to dodge, but the blade still pierced his chin. This time, his defense truly broke as green beast blood spurted out.
White Feather Dove pressed the advantage, raising her sword to seal his throat with ruthless precision.
In this, she perfectly inherited her evil father’s practical swordsmanship.
“Boom!”
Unfortunately, at that moment, a large fireball suddenly flew over from a distance, locking onto White Feather Dove.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Not only that, various magical flying projectiles rained down from afar, providing timely cover for Zhuanghan Ge and forcing White Feather Dove to retreat rapidly.
“Nice support!”
Zhuanghan Ge caught his breath, and the wound on his chin quickly stopped bleeding, though the cut made him look like he had a “butt chin,” which was somewhat comical.
A few members of the Tea Ceremony Society suddenly appeared on a nearby hill!
They stood there delivering precise shots that battered White Feather Dove into retreat.
Combined with Zhuanghan Ge’s close-range melee and magical attacks, he immediately shifted tactics.
No longer reckless like at the start, he chose to fight while retreating, focusing on defense and stalling, keeping White Feather Dove trapped firmly within the range of magical fire.
White Feather Dove had to duel Zhuanghan Ge while guarding against distant magical attacks. No matter how skilled a transfer student was, she was forced into submission.
This was exactly why the Ten-Step Hall established the Tea Ceremony Society.
When melee beasts and magic beasts learned to cooperate, they were like an Adventurer Squad of the Human Race—one plus one was greater than two, truly overwhelming in power.
Wasn’t the Nameless Witch’s original purpose for founding the God and Demon Academy exactly the same? (Actually, no.)
In any case, the Ten-Step Hall believed no one understood the God and Demon Academy better than themselves.
“You’re finished!”
Zhuanghan Ge pulled and dragged, stepping backward and yanking White Feather Dove forward, practically sentencing her to death.
Because the next moment, several Elemental Explosives locked onto her. The apprentices of the Tea Party had covertly spread out, launching a barrage of magic attacks from all sides, leaving no escape route.
Zhuanghan Ge tugged fiercely, finally forcing White Feather Dove into a dead end.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
This time, Baicheng found herself wingless and trapped, instantly overwhelmed by multiple Elemental Explosives detonating simultaneously.
Waves of colorful elemental energies mixed and exploded, unleashing a terrifying shockwave rippling hundreds of meters.
Zhuanghan Ge cracked a faint smile, but it quickly froze.
Not only him, but the Tea Ceremony Society’s mages also fell silent together.
Because as the dense smoke from the explosions cleared, White Feather Dove still stood upright, completely unharmed.
She was enveloped in a deep blue Magical Barrier.
“You can actually use magic?” Zhuanghan Ge asked in astonishment.
He didn’t say the rest aloud—that her magic was far stronger than the usual Tea Party members.
The spell White Feather Dove used was called 【Magical Barrier】.
As the name suggests, it concentrated magic into a shield, the most basic yet the most powerful spell.
Because it improved in strength as your magic points and magical understanding increased.
Theoretically, if your magic power were high enough and your understanding profound enough, your Magical Barrier could withstand even a planet’s explosion.
Human Race mages typically had a Magical Barrier, instantly raising their fragile bodies’ defense to that of heavily armored knights.
That was why human mages held such high status.
Demonkind, however, were different. Not all magical beasts among them could wield the Magical Barrier.
They naturally breathed fire, lightning, or ice, wielding world-shattering elemental attacks, but might never comprehend the Magical Barrier in their lifetimes.
It was probably a racial balancing mechanism.
Beasts already had tough hides and thick skins; if they also wielded shields, wouldn’t they be invincible?
Unfortunately, White Feather Dove, a chaotic beast neither fully demon nor human, didn’t follow this rule.
She possessed a steel body and could also use the Lunar Shield—a power inherited from her evil father.
“Moonlight Power…”
Qingshamu, who had been watching from the sidelines, was stunned at this sight.
Indeed, she was my daughter after all!
