After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"You just got here!"

Lia's embarrassment and anger were mixed as she stamped her foot and lifted the hem of her garment, revealing the side of her waist wrapped with a bandage.

"A wound just like yours, and definitely not lighter. Now you've got nothing to say.

This miss wants to make you so utterly defeated that even if you hide away, you'll never be able to beat your once captain!"

The crowd in the square, watching Lia's injury on the big screen, all gasped in shock.

This Bursting Flames girl is kind of ruthless, huh? Those injuries are obviously self-inflicted. Is it worth it just for a show match?

"Wait, what's happening now!"

Cries of surprise came from the audience,

A buzzing tremor came from beneath their feet, and as people looked around, they couldn't find the source of the shaking.

It wasn't until the small pebbles on the arena began to dance and jump that the crowd realized, in astonishment, that the shaking was coming from the entire arena!

"You, you, what do you think you're doing!" Lia's triumphant expression disappeared as she gulped down a swallow of saliva.

With both hands clutching her sword, she nervously retreated.

They only saw Lin Da's Level 35 Poison Magic Power and Recovery Magic Power intertwined, transforming into the terrifying might of Star Rank. Despite the furious scene, Lin Da's face was expressionless as he carried his sword, walking slowly towards her.

That oppressive feeling made Lia feel as if the Lin Da before her now was even scarier than Abner!

This guy must have been holding back during his fight with Abner!

Other than Snow Goose's early days, during that defeat in the third layer of the Mystic Realm, where she almost got killed by Serpent People, Lia had never seen Lin Da with such a frightening look on his face.

Lia's legs squeezed together as she trembled involuntarily.

In the competitors' rest area, Aiko saw the scene on the stage and couldn't help but snicker. Lin Da was angry.

When Lin Da was part of Snow Goose, the thing he hated the most was to see his teammates get hurt, and Lia's wound was one she had inflicted on herself. For a match whose outcome didn't even matter, a performance for the investors...

Lia's stupidity had touched Lin Da's bottom line.

Aiko was sitting next to Klrona, snatching some chips from Klrona's bag and munching them contentedly as she prepared to enjoy the spectacle of Lia being thrashed in front of thousands.

At that moment, however, a violent gaze suddenly swept over them.

This gaze was all too familiar to Aiko; as a child, being caught in it meant she was in for a beating.

Rocher's quality was as low as his level of education, teaching his children with fists the size of a pot.

Aiko's leg had indeed been broken once, beat by Rocher for failing to maintain the top spot in the class at South Rock City's Magic Academy.

The fear of Rocher was almost embedded in Aiko's bones. She trembled slightly and rolled behind the couch to hide.

Aiko wasn't sure if Rocher had noticed her. Although Bervis had warned her not to come to the exhibition match, she was too curious about Lin Da's battle with Abner.

'He didn't see, he didn't see...'

Aiko's face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

Klrona, with a mouth full of chips, looked at her curiously, "Aiko, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't call me by my name for now, just watch the match," Aiko said with a forced dry laugh.

"Oh."

After a while, when the feeling of being watched faded, Aiko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Rocher's temper, he would have stormed over immediately if he had spotted her; there would have been no silence.

It was better to hide. She would watch the replay later.

Aiko hugged her knees, crouching behind the couch with a look of grievance.

Not only was her family a complete mess, but Lin Da was also deliberately avoiding her. She could only adventure with that idiot Bilya and the brat Klrona every day, and she was truly fed up with this kind of life.

She had to take action.

Even if she couldn't make Lin Da change his mind, she had to join Phoenix Tail Flower and leave the rubbish team Snow Goose.

...

"Truly worthy of the captain of Phoenix Tail Flower, the battle hasn't even begun, and she has already tilted the scales of victory with her astonishing presence!"

Kami grabbed the microphone, saliva spraying as she shouted. Her excited voice, amplified by the magic array within the microphone, echoed throughout Secret Realm Square:

"Contestant Lia, you must give it your all, ah! If you don't defeat him, you'll never get to join an adult's party!"

Even though they weren't really father and daughter.

The thought of the girl he had cared for many years and treated like his own kin, now appearing shy on a large bed...

Kami salivated at the thought, wishing he could slam his face against theirs and snap away with his camera.

These two were like his Gold Coin printing machine; as soon as Lin Da threw a party, the sales of White Dove Morning News would increase by thirty percent,

If one day he could capture a photo of the two sharing a bed, tripling the sales wouldn't be a problem!

Lia's reputation in White Dove City was quite bad, and many people didn't say it out loud, but deep down, they all hoped Lin Da would teach Lia a lesson and make that stubborn little mouth beg pitifully for mercy...

Kami was so thrilled at the mere thought of that scene, she was almost gnawing on the microphone:

"Now I announce, the match, officially begins!!!"

Boom!

In an instant, Lin Da's upper clothing shattered under the onslaught of ferocious magic power, and black wings, accompanied by the rustling of feathers, burst forth from his shoulder blades.

With a flap of his wings, Lin Da shot forward like a swordfish darting through the ocean, heading straight for Lia.

Not holding back in the slightest, his sword aimed directly for Lia's neck!

With Rocher, the Moon rank adventurer there, Lin Da could pull out all the stops, and let Lia taste the brink of death.

Only those who have faced death can truly revere adventuring!

Originally, Lin Da planned to make it a casual fight, just to entertain the audience, but now he had changed his mind.

Lia was just a bratty little girl who had shown no growth and only knew how to be petulant and capricious. He decided to harshly teach Lia a lesson in front of more than ten thousand people.

Even if Lia were to break down on the spot, it would be better than her dying cluelessly in the World Tree later.

"Forest Dragon's Rage Fang!"

Lin Da gazed at Lia's frantic little face and sneered. The Earth Dragon Longsword released a verdant glow, vines converging upon the blade.

Roar!

With one slash, the Wooden Giant Dragon, baring its fangs and claws, lunged at Lia, and the Dragon Roar momentarily stunned her.

Just as the Wood Dragon's Eye, over ten meters long, was about to strike, at this critical moment, Lia bit the tip of her tongue, her eyes quickly regained clarity, and a tangerine flame with starlight lit up in her pupils. She burst out with a red stream of Battle Qi, astonishingly resisting Lin Da's Dragon's Might by relying on the characteristic of Starfire Douqi.

Everyone was caught off guard by how quickly Lia recovered, especially with Abner's former example.

Even the 39-level Abner couldn't withstand the Dragon's Might, but 33-level Lia could?

Seeing the girl's fire Battle Qi dotted with some starlight, Rocher and a few other Moon rank adventurers changed their expressions to serious ones.

Although Lia's level was not high, they could feel the incredible explosive force from Lia's flames, its quality far exceeding that of ordinary Fire Fighting Qi.

Luden frowned as he stared at the flames on Lia's body, a trace of confusion in his eyes. Even he, as a well-traveled reporter of Adventurer's Weekly, could not recognize what it was.
