111: Chapter 111 Friendly Exchange from the Demon Race

He cleared his throat and began to speak in a calm, unhurried manner.

"First, let me announce the final result of this arena match."

"Based on a multi-faceted analysis, Qian Mo and his team displayed seamless cooperation and held out until the very end, nearly securing a final victory. However, just as Miss Xing Yan erupted at the final moment to turn the situation around, she took the initiative to admit defeat..."

He first summarized the battle process in the most concise language possible, then announced loudly:

"Finally, in my capacity as 'Judge,' and under the premise of a comprehensive evaluation of various factors, I declare this match a draw!"

The Aura of an Rank 8 Esper surged forth, and the solemn, impartial declaration left the audience feeling a sense of genuine conviction.

Below the stage, Xing Yaoyan walked toward her teammates with her head slightly lowered.

"Sister Yan, what exactly happened just now? They had no combat power left at the end, so why did you suddenly admit defeat?"

"Meow! Exactly! We were supposed to win for sure. That boy lost his momentum at the final moment; it was clear he lacked stamina and didn't Breakthrough your defense, Sister Yan! Why let them off?"

In the eyes of the audience, the time between Qian Mo throwing that fatal punch and him being sent flying by Xing Yaoyan's Demonic Power had only spanned two or three seconds.

It was difficult for everyone to judge whether Qian Mo had actually broken through the young woman's final defense, so they were all arguing based on their own perspectives.

"Oh, come on~ It was just a friendly exchange, why care so much?"

Xing Yaoyan had just taken a coat out of her storage space and draped it over herself, covering the slight exposure of her skin.

She looked up, revealing a charming smile, and habitually reached out to rub her little sister Linglong's head, causing her face to flush and her cat ears to tremble slightly.

"Didn't that principal say it? This counts as a draw, not a loss."

Recalling what had just happened, she still felt a lingering fear. Qian Mo's final strike had utilized that fist covered in gold patterns from before.

The moment she sensed that familiar Aura, her surrounding golden light shield was instantly pierced as if it didn't even exist.

It was no wonder his right hand wore such a tightly fitted black glove; it seemed it was meant to hide this trump card of his.

However, she actually felt that even if she took the boy's punch head-on, she would at most be heavily injured, but she wouldn't lose her combat capability.

Once she could follow up with the Star Swallowing Art, she could quickly repair her injuries, and the first one to stand up in the end would definitely be her.

"Heh... Qian Mo, consider yourself sensible. If you had dared to land that punch, this Young Miss wouldn't have let you end things so decently..."

Xing Yaoyan didn't realize that as she was talking to herself, she was subconsciously looking at the three people and one fox on the stage who were still in shock, her head slightly tilted and her eyebrows raised in a tsundere expression.

At this moment, she was right in front of two mobile phone cameras, and her small gestures immediately stunned the viewers in the livestream room.

Everyone had previously been elated by the young woman's peerless beauty and shocked by her overwhelming strength, but now, seeing the inadvertent tsundere side of her, they actually started to find her inexplicably cute.

On the arena stage, she was a valiant queen; off the stage, she was a youthful and lovely girl.

This intense sense of contrast was simply too captivating...

Various gifts began to flood the screen at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, Ying Linglong and Leng Xiaoyue were also shocked; it was their first time seeing Sister Yan show such an expression.

If someone were to ask them at this moment whether they won or lost this arena match, they would definitely respond subconsciously: We gained a profit!

On the stage, Yun Long continued with the routine speech:

"This arena match was a surprise inspection jointly organized by the Kingdom of Myriad Demons and the Human Alliance, aimed at letting the young Espers we cultivate know that there is always someone better out there..."

After a long-winded speech, the audience finally understood.

"So this really was a friendly exchange between the Yao Race and humans, just like that Saintess said?"

"What Saintess? Call her Miss Xing Yan."

"But honestly, it was fine before, but since Miss Xing Yan took the stage, I haven't felt a single bit of 'friendliness'..."

"Actually, I think if I had her strength, I might be even more arrogant than her. She fought one against three, took a near Rank 5 attack head-on, and in the end, she even looked like she had energy to spare..."

...

Ignoring the whispers below the stage, Yun Long turned to look at Xing Yaoyan, who was still staring at Qian Mo in a daze.

"Next, let us invite Miss Xing Yan to give a speech as the representative of the Yao Race. Let's welcome her with applause!"

Clap clap clap...

The thunderous applause instantly interrupted Xing Yaoyan's complicated thoughts.

She turned her head in a bit of a daze and scanned the surroundings, discovering with some alarm that everyone's eyes were glued to her.

Fortunately, with the reminder of her good teammates, she finally realized what had just happened.

She quickly adjusted her posture and then walked with large strides back toward the arena stage.

"First, I would like to apologize to everyone."

The young woman smiled and elegantly placed one hand on her chest, her body leaning forward slightly.

This was a traditional etiquette that Tushan Qing had specifically commissioned someone to teach her before they came.

As the Saintess of the Demon Race, her every move in public represented the face of the Yao Race.

"The previous taunts were actually intentional on our part to stimulate everyone's potential and to display the Aura of my Yao Race. I hope you all won't take it to heart."

"We came this time with a learning mindset to have a friendly exchange with the young Geniuses of humanity. Although we might be slightly superior in terms of raw strength, there are many areas where you are better than us, such as various Spiritual Artifacts, mechas, and other high-tech products..."

With the official words she had memorized by heart, combined with her beautiful appearance and the powerful strength she had just displayed, her words instantly turned most of the human audience from haters to fans.

Look, she's so strong yet so humble, and the sparring was disciplined. The only thing criticized, the 'taunting,' was also officially sanctioned. It's hard not to love a Saintess like this...

On the other side, at a medical station.

Looking at the screen full of hearts and the peaceful comments, Ning Yunyan silently facepalmed, thinking to himself that these comments changed faces faster than flipping a book.

He looked at the young woman beside him who was still unconscious. Amidst his helplessness, a surge of hostility also rose.

His 'prospective girlfriend' (in his own mind) had been bullied; if any man could endure that, would he still be a man?

Just you wait, I will help you pay back this grudge in the future...
