Translator: 549690339
At this moment in the duelling arena.
As time passed, Megan’s disadvantage was continuously widening.
Tina’s golden lance, charged with surging rage, cornered Megan into a corner of the duel field.
In the corner, there was no room to dodge. If it wasn’t for Megan’s rich battle experience, she would have been defeated by now.
However, Megan knew she couldn’t lose!
If she lost, it would be the end for her and her family! Kimberly, the vindictive devil, would surely vent her anger at her family, and then
Upon thinking of that, Megan couldn’t help but shudder.
But she also remembered the potion Kimberly gave her before the duel began.
A sixth-rank potion, [Eternal Fury].
After drinking it, her strength would instantly double, and she could easily defeat Tina with this explosive increase in power!
However, the cost was severe; her strength would plummet to third or even second rank.
Originally, she didn’t want to drink it, but now she had no choice.
A fierce determination flashed in Megan’s eyes.
“Hah!”
She swung her lance, using her last resort technique — [Angry Spear Thunder Strike].
The tip swung out, creating arcs of electricity in the originally deep blue rage which boosted the attack’s power multifold!
Tina didn’t dare to block this powerful move directly and promptly maneuvered her unicorn to dodge backward.
Megan didn’t pursue Tina; instead, she reached into her pocket with her left hand and pulled out a yellowish bottle.
Without any hesitation, she tilted her head back, gulping down the contents of the bottle.
Under the stimulation of the potion, Megan’s body instantly expanded, her skin turning a crimson color with cracks all over, which looked extremely ugly.
However, her momentum was also rising drastically, and in an instant, her strength doubled!
“Is this the sixth-ranked [Eternal Fury Potion]?!”
At the top of the observation terrace, Su Yu was greatly shocked.
Su Yu had participated in advanced scholar assessments before, which included questions about the [Eternal Fury Potion], so he recognized it at first glance.
However, the problem was that before the current duel started, Tina and Megan signed a pre-duel agreement: “Apart from equipment and mounts, neither party can use any consumables, to ensure a fair duel.”
Su Yu was present when the agreement was signed.
Back then, Su Yu thought the agreement was to constrain Tina from using consumables like [Good Village Sword] to turn the tables dramatically.
Considering Tina’s invincibility at the same rank and that the agreement would deter the Windsor family from any tricks, Su Yu advised Tina to sign the agreement.
Little did he expect, Megan was the first to break the agreement by drinking the potion.
This was blatant cheating!
In the center of the arena, Tina also raised an objection to the referee: “Referee, Megan cheated! According to the agreement signed before, neither of us could use any potion-type consumables. You were there when the agreement was signed. I ask you to declare Megan’s loss!”
The referee was a fourth-rank middle-aged warrior.
However, he didn’t seem to want to declare Megan’s loss, but smiled and said, “Tina, Megan did not cheat, the fight continues!”
“Why? She clearly drank the potion!” Tina was shocked and angry.
“Because Megan’s secondary profession is a potion maker. According to regulations, potions made by potion makers themselves are considered weapons, not consumables.” The referee boldly argued, “You surely can’t expect a potion maker to not drink potions during a duel, can you?”
“Potion maker?” Tina was incredulous, “Potions made by potion makers themselves are considered weapons, but for a potion of this rank, could Megan even make it herself?”
Though Tina didn’t recognize the [Eternal Fury] potion, based on its effects, she didn’t believe Megan could brew it; otherwise, Megan would have gained fame in the legion long ago.
“Yes, this potion was made by Megan in front of me.” the referee lied.
“You ” Tina was still trying to defend herself.
But at this moment, Megan had driven her unicorn to quickly approach her.
With no other choice, Tina had to give up arguing with the referee and took a defensive stance.
Boom!
Once again, the golden and blue figures collided.
But this time, Tina and her horse were pushed back several meters.
Obviously, Tina was no longer a match for Megan in terms of brute strength.
Seeing Tina at a disadvantage, the crowd in the stands immediately erupted in cheers!
Many people in the audience had bet on Megan’s victory. Seeing the chances of a win leaning towards them was certainly a cause for celebration.
Yet, in the highest part of the stands, Su Yu was seething with anger!
The creation of the [Eternal Fury] potion required at least the skills of an advanced alchemist, and the youngest advanced alchemist in the Empire was 40 years old.
Megan was only in her thirties. To claim that she made it herself was an outright lie!
“The Windsor family can’t carry on like this!”
With that thought, Su Yu leaned on the rail of the stand with his right hand, leapt upwards, and jumped straight down from the stand.
“Boss, what are you doing?!” Veena Blackgold was shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch Su Yu.
But it was too late, Su Yu had already jumped off the stand.
“What is the boss planning to do? Can’t afford to pay after losing too much, so he’s going to jump off a building?”
Veena Blackgold hurriedly climbed onto the railing to look down, but there was no sign of Su Yu below.
Meanwhile, Tina had fallen into a bitter struggle.
She was not as strong as her opponent, nor did she have as much combat experience as Megan. If this continued, she would surely be defeated by Megan.
“No! I can’t let this continue, the final victory must be mine!” Tina encouraged herself.
“Hehe, no chance, Tina! Just admit defeat. If you admit defeat, I’ll spare your life!”
Megan’s face was flushed and cracked, making her look particularly ferocious.
With all her strength, she thrust her lance forward, its blue glow shone fiercely, hoping to defeat Tina as soon as possible.
This time, Tina didn’t take the blow on.
She jumped off the unicorn’s back and dodged the attack.
“No! I must win!” there was a fiery fury in Tina’s eyes.
With a flick of her hand, a pouch of Monster Blood Essence appeared in her hand.
This pouch of Monster Blood Essence was obtained when Nemesis accompanied her to kill monsters in the wilderness the day before.
Since she had just reached the fourth level and needed to consolidate her development, she didn’t absorb it then, instead, she kept it on her.
Now seeing the defeat at hand, she couldn’t care less.
Tina ripped open the blood bag, and poured the Monster Blood Essence over herself.
A golden aura rolled around her, quickly absorbing the energy in the essence blood.
Almost instantly, Tina’s momentum and strength were climbing up rapidly!
Facing Megan’s lance, Tina waved her own lance to block it, effortlessly deflecting the attack.
“You’re cheating!” The referee stood by, fuming, “Tina Garcia, this is a serious act of cheating, I am going to rule you ”
“You dare?!!!”
At that moment, a loud shout echoed above the referee’s head.
A mage in leather armor, at the first level, swept across overhead and descended rapidly.
