Rant Valo raised his right hand and glowing yellow-orange lines flowed from his shoulder to his hand.

"The Flap of the Lucky Phoenix!"

Rant Valo shouted. A cry of a phoenix sounded from afar.

Rant Valo also raised his left hand, and this time, glowing blue lines flowed from his shoulder to his hand.

"Lucky Dragon Breath!"

Rant Valo shouted once again. This time it was a different magic technique. That's right, Rant Valo is Double Executing! Something he learned while fighting the Rubble Moose.

"W-What kind of power is this!?"

Torse shouted in disbelief. His eyes and mouth were opened wide as he watched Rant Valo's magic technique take form.

"This kid is not simple!"

Sect Elder Andre shouted in shock. He can sense the power brimming from Rant Valo's magic techniques.

"Go, Master!"

Veia cheered for him from the crowd. Though, she stood out as most of the spectators were frozen in awe.

"Fufufu. That's my disciple right there."

Floriana Sabina said to no one. She was just proud to see Rant Valo look so cool with his magic techniques.

The spirit of the Azure Dragon behind Rant Valo dove into his body. At the same time, the Phoenix materialized behind him.

"What kind of magic techniques are that?! And he's using them both at the same time!?"

Sect Elder Andre was flabbergasted. These magic techniques should not exist in this world. Additionally, Rant Valo was even using them together. He never heard that cultivators could do that!

Rant Valo opened his eyes, and the eyes of a ferocious dragon could be seen within them.

FWOOOOOOUM~

Rant Valo opened his mouth and released a long stream of dragon's breath. It destroyed the parts of the platform on its path. Torse had nowhere to go, and just as the flames hit his body, Sect Elder Andre appeared in front of him and blocked the dragon's breath.

There was a shining shield of light on Sect Elder Andre's arm as he defended from Rant Valo's dragon's breath. It deflected the breath to the surroundings, causing mass destruction on the platform.

The Sect Disciples immediately ran farther back. The power of Rant Valo's magic technique is no joke.

Just as Sect Elder Andre was relaxing, the shield of light on his arm suddenly cracked loudly.

Crack crack crackkk

"Sh*t!"

Sect Elder Andre cursed loudly. This magic technique was much stronger than he thought it would be!

He was already on his wit's end when he saw a bright orange bird fly towards them from the corner of his eyes.

"W-What's that?"

Sect Elder Andre stuttered nervously.

KIIIIII

The Phoenix cried and dove towards Sect Elder Andre and Torse.

Realizing that he would get killed if he didn't protect himself, Sect Elder Andre pulled a pendant from his pocket. He broke the red gem on it, and a blood-red barrier surrounded the two of them.

The Phoenix flapped backward, and a huge swath of orange flames flew towards Sect Elder Andre's barrier.

BOOM!

The blood-red barrier shook violently as it endured both the dragon breath and the phoenix's flap.

"It was a good thing I still had that demon's pendant…"

Sect Elder Andre sighed in relief. That was scary. He almost saw his life flash before his eyes.

"Hahh…"

Rant Valo sat down on the ground tiredly. Executing two magic techniques at the same time is too taxing on his body.

"Disciple!"

Floriana Sabina jumped onto the platform and supported him. Veia followed after her and also supported Rant Valo.

"Master Floriana? Veia?"

Rant Valo smiled seeing the two of them.

"It's okay now, Disciple. I'll take over from here on."

Floriana Sabina replied to him.

"Mhm! Grandmaster and I will take care of it, Master."

Veia also reassured Rant Valo with a smile.

Floriana Sabina and Veia stood in front of Rant Valo, and they eyed Sect Elder Andre and Torse.

"Who are you, girls?"

Sect Elder Andre stood inside the barrier warily.

"I'll just let you know that you bullied my disciple!"

Floriana Sabina shouted in reply.

"Huh?"

Sect Elder Andre and Torse looked at her in confusion. Even the crowd around them was looking at her weirdly.

"Sect Elder, this little girl must be joking, right?"

Torse couldn't help but ask. He stood up wobbly beside Sect Elder Andre.

"She's just a little girl. Don't pay attention to her. Rather, pay attention to that young woman standing beside her."

Sect Elder Andre replied to Torse.

"I'll never forgive those who take advantage of Master!"

Veia shouted towards them angrily. She was her Master's servant and it is her duty to protect her master.

"Master?"

Sect Elder Andre and Torse only became more confused hearing her words.

"He's your master? We give up. We're gonna give you the prizes."

Sect Elder Andre suddenly said. He opened his palms, and the four Evil Sacra Lotus Flower Petals were on top of it.

"Give it to me."

Floriana Sabina walked towards them and opened her palms.

"Who are you guys?"

Instead of giving the petals to Floriana Sabina, he asked.

"Hmm? Are you giving it or not?"

Floriana Sabina raised an eyebrow. She was starting to get annoyed by him.

"Answer my question first."

Sect Elder Andre insisted.

"Hmph. Then, etch this into your mind!"

Floriana Sabina snorted, realizing that he would not budge if they didn't introduce themselves.

"My name is Floriana Sabina! I'm the youngest Saintess in the world!"

Floriana Sabina held her hips and raised her chin as she introduced herself.

BOOM!

A thunderous boom sounded from the distance at the end of her words.

"Saintess? What's that?"

Sect Elder Andre looked at her blankly. He doesn't have an ounce of idea what a Saintess is. Is she from a church or something?

"Hmph! Ignorant fools."

Floriana Sabina snorted hearing his words. She was starting to dislike him more and more.

"Now, give me the petals."

Floriana Sabina opened her palm toward Sect Elder Andre.

"I can't. The barrier is in the way."

Sect Elder Andre replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Didn't you set this up!?"

Floriana Sabina asked him angrily. He was annoying her on purpose.
