es, the tightly shut door finally swung open, and Keikong and Sakura ran out. And then, there was nothing more."Rose, help me go to rest!"Yes, miss!Luo Ying Fox suspiciously glanced outside. She had j...Helena didn't expect Young Master Lian to actually take her attack, and he even set his sights on her warhorse. Moreover, he succeeded.

Helena smirked, directly propping herself up on the horse's back with one hand and lifting her other foot to kick out at the shorter Ripples. She forced the opponent back, then landed steadily on the ground. The attacked warhorse neighed once before transforming into a shield and returning to Helena's grasp.

When the ripples hit the warhorses, Helene's horse was different - it was a mythical beast.

"Kid, you're pretty good, actually running into my phantom beast."

The ripple kicked against the other's side, sending them stumbling back several steps. After steadying themselves, they looked at the warhorse that had transformed into a shield, giving it a curious once-over.

Helena's shield was silver, and the relief on it depicted the warhorse.

Your mythical creature is very beautiful.

Ripple said.

"Flattery won't get you anywhere, show me what you've got."

Helena smiled and said.

Ripples nodded, this time she channeled the knightly power stored within her dantian into the sword in her hand. The blade emanated a faint white-gold glow.

Ripples leaped forward, wielding his sword against the opposing Helena. The swords clashed, the collision of their forces creating a powerful shockwave around them. Even those in the stands felt the overwhelming force surging through the air.

Helena's sword glowed gold, signifying her status as a Golden Knight and the power she wielded. As she withdrew her blade, she launched a proactive attack against the rippling waves before her.

Just now, her heart was filled with doubts. The opponent's sword light was white and gold, indicating that the power accumulated in their body hadn't reached the standard of a Gold Knight. However, in the short moments they had been locked in combat, she was certain that their power was equal to hers.

This amused Helena, as the speed and strength of her attacks gradually increased, putting away her previous disdain.

Ripples unsheathed her sword to meet the opponent's attack. She also sensed a change in the other party's attitude and immediately calmed her mind, focusing all her attention on the battle.

Because of the power infusion, Ripples' sword felt very light in her hands. After merging with her strength, it could strike anywhere she desired and deflected all of Helena's attacks. After their aerial combat, they both ended up back on the ground.

After a brief exchange, Ripple grasped Helena's attack rhythm. As she landed, she simply turned the tip of her foot and launched another attack, this time with more force to compensate for her lack of strength.

Their battle grew faster and faster, the clash of their swords producing ever-increasing waves of energy that left the spectators on edge, holding their breath in anticipation.

Fifteen minutes later, Helena executed a backflip, landing gracefully and sheathing her sword. A radiant smile spread across her face as she addressed Ripples:

"Your performance was beyond my expectations, you successfully passed this rank-up assessment. Congratulations on becoming a Golden Knight."

Ripples paused, then retracted his attack stance. He asked uncertainly:

"Is that so Thanks."

Before she could finish her words of gratitude, Helena raised a hand. Her shield transformed instantly into a warhorse, charging towards her.

Ripple hardly thought, her sword already replaced with a magic staff. The Lotus Staff lightly touched the ground, and a golden magic array rose beneath the warhorse's feet, trapping it within.

"It seems I was right after all, you inscribed a magic circle on yourself."

Helena said softly.

< Lian Yi frowned and said:

"Ms. Helena, your beast attacked me, I merely restrained him with the magic circle I am skilled in out of instinct. As for when we fought, I did not cheat by using the magic circle."

"So you're saying you're taking both Magic and Knight training"

"Yes."

The ripple's answer came without any hesitation.

Helena is a bit harder to judge, after all, she's underage and hasn't solidified her direction yet, so this kind of situation is quite possible.

"Lady Helena, if you think I cheated using magic circles, you can invite a high mage to judge. There's no need to try me this way. Besides, you just said I passed the assessment. Under these circumstances, I have already sheathed my sword. Using magic doesn't prove I cheated."

A ripple of impatience flashed across her amethyst eyes, and she then retracted the magical barrier that had restrained the warhorse.

The white warhorse obediently turned its head back to its master and then leaped, transforming into a streak of light that entered the master's contract mark on their body.

Everyone in the stands saw the interaction between the two just now. Leia frowned, Grey was also somewhat surprised, but La Yi was the most unhappy. He directly summoned a small magic circle with his magic wand and then sent it out.

Moments later, a tall sorcerer in black robes slowly walked into the arena where Ripple and they were battling.

"Helena."

"Bruce the Great Magician."

"I hear you've run into a bit of trouble."

Bruce walked gracefully up to Helena and said with a smile.

Ripple glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and bowed to Bruce.

Helena saw that Bruce had arrived, and she told him everything that had happened, along with her suspicions.

After Bruce finished speaking, he turned to Ripple and said:

"Lynn Rodman, do you have anything to explain or add"

“Although the energy within me might not have reached the standard of a Golden Knight, my combat skills have. The reason I can match Helena Knight is because since I became a Bronze Knight, I awakened divine power. My strength is more than ten times what it used to be, and as my knightly rank increases, so does my strength.”

"How to prove it"

Bruce asked.

Ripples put away her magic staff and then said to Bruce:

"Great Mage, please temporarily seal the knightly power within me."

Bruce immediately understood Ripple's meaning. Without using his magic wand, a magic circle rose in his palm, and he flew directly to Ripple's dantian, submerging himself within it.

After feeling the power in her dantian being suppressed, Lian Ri walked a few steps toward the center of the fighting ring. Then, she clenched her right fist and, relying solely on her physical strength, punched the ground with all her might.

The ground immediately appeared a fist-sized hole, and then along that small hole, cracks spread towards the surroundings. The entire ground cracked into pieces, and it also spread to the stands, which shocked everyone's jaw.

Ripples admitted it was intentional. There aren't many opportunities to use his full physical strength without any restraint. This was a response to those who doubted him, and the most advantageous proof.

Helena and Bruce were both taken aback. Bruce reacted the fastest, his hand already gripping his magic wand. He summoned a magic circle that spread across the entire arena floor, stopping the shockwave's earthquake-like destructive force. As the magic circle shrank, it repaired the cracks as if they had never been there.

When she stood up, the ripple that had been created by her fall returned to its original state. She simply asked in a light tone:

Can you prove I didn't cheat now

"Of course, that's your talent!"

Bruce smiled politely, then withdrew the magical array that sealed the Ripple Knight's power.

"Congratulations on becoming the youngest Golden Knight in the history of the Magic Continent!"ere also in pajamas, apparently having gotten up straight from bed. They arrived just in time to see Ripple swiftly sever the monster's hand and head with her blade."Miss Ripples, what's going on"A fe...
