Chapter 175 Tian Liu_3
Li Xiu glanced at Tian Liu in the arena through the one-way glass, and then said to Ye Xiyuan beside him, "You've practiced the Hand of God for so long, it's time to try it in actual combat. Go ahead."
"Yes." Although Ye Xiyuan felt a bit nervous, she resolutely donned the Ghost-faced Magic Armor and walked towards the passageway.
Everyone's eyes focused on the figure walking out from the passageway, including Tian Liu.
But when they saw it was a Magic Armor Master stepping out, they were all slightly taken aback.
"What's going on? Isn't Tian Liu supposed to challenge the Lord of Light City? Isn't the Lord of Light City a Trial Taker? So why is a Magic Armor Master stepping out?"
"Could it be that the Lord of Light City is chickening out? Letting a Magic Armor Master fight, truly, Magic Armor Masters are stronger than magic spirits."
"Haha, definitely chickening out! But having a Magic Armor Master fight, wouldn't the defeat be even more disgraceful? Besides the Hand of God, who else can defeat Tian Liu?"
"Having a Magic Armor Master face Tian Liu is no different from delivering food to him."
Tian Liu scrutinized the Magic Armor Master in front of him, unable to recognize the modified Ghost-faced Magic Armor, so he frowned and asked, "Are you the Lord of Light City?"
"No." Ye Xiyuan's answer immediately caused a stir.
Everyone could hear it was a very pleasant woman's voice, clearly not the Lord of Light City, and it sounded like this female Magic Armor Master was quite young.
"I don't fight with women. Go back and ask the Lord of Light City to come out. If he dares not to fight, it's no matter, I'll just leave now." Tian Liu said indifferently.
If the Lord of Light City dares not to face the challenge, Tian Liu felt he had regained enough face for the Magic Armor Master and did not insist on killing the Jedi Knight.
His purpose here was simply to let everyone know that Magic Armor Masters will always be stronger than magic spirits, that is all.
After putting on the armor, Ye Xiyuan seemed like a different person, dramatically different from her usual introverted and shy character, becoming very calm and confident.
"The City Lord asked me to come here just to tell you that although the City of Light hosts the magic spirit tournament to cultivate Trial Takers, it equally respects Magic Armor Masters. There are many Magic Armor Masters like me in the City of Light. Over the years, Magic Armor Masters have always been the guardians of the world and humanity, they were before, they are now, and they will be in the future. However, apart from Magic Armor Masters, ordinary people are also part of this world and also hope to have the ability to protect their homes and loved ones. The reason the City of Light hosts the magic spirit tournament is to tell everyone that as long as they are willing to try, they too can have the power to protect their homes and loved ones. The world is not only for Magic Armor Masters, and those who can sacrifice for the world are not only Magic Armor Masters; everyone has the duty and right to defend their homes..." Ye Xiyuan said forcefully.
Her words made many people's blood boil, striking them in their hearts and raising goosebumps.
Yes, they were people too, and they wanted to be able to protect their families and friends, to guard their small homes well.
But facing the terrifying magic spirits, they simply had no way to contend with them.
How many people once dreamed of being a Magic Armor Master, but that dream was shattered due to talent limitations.
Now, finally, someone has stepped forward to tell them there is another path they can take, opening a new door of hope for their world.
"Absolutely right. This is the magnanimity that a Magic Armor Master should have. That female Magic Armor Master is absolutely correct."
Ye Xiyuan's words resonated strongly among the ordinary people.
"Ye Xiyuan, wearing the armor, is flawless." Even Li Xiu didn't expect Ye Xiyuan to say such things, and couldn't help but see her in a new light.
Ye Yuzhen was moved to tears, knowing that much of what Ye Xiyuan said was voicing out on his behalf.
Sha Chu and Qin Shi were also a bit surprised, as they had never seen this side of Ye Xiyuan. Whenever they saw Ye Xiyuan usually, she was just a shy girl, but they didn't expect her to be so bold and valiant after donning the armor.
"Well said, this is the true purpose why Li Xiu and I established the City of Light and host the magic spirit tournament." Chu Jun said, feeling as if meeting a kindred spirit.
Tian Liu didn't expect the female Magic Armor Master to say such words and, after pondering for a moment, said, "I will remember what you said. I hope the City of Light can keep its word and truly do this for the sake of ordinary people, not for selfish interests. If I find the City of Light to be inconsistent in the future, I will definitely return."
After saying so, Tian Liu turned to leave.
"Please wait." Ye Xiyuan called out to Tian Liu.
"What else?" Tian Liu looked at Ye Xiyuan and asked.
"I am here on the order of the City Lord to accept the challenge and dare not disobey. I implore your guidance." Ye Xiyuan said calmly.
Even Sha Chu couldn't help cheering for Ye Xiyuan. Her previous words erected a glorious image of the City of Light in people's minds, making Tian Liu have to give up the idea of challenging Li Xiu, otherwise people would think he lacked magnanimity, wanting to cut off the path of ordinary people's advancement. If he insisted on challenging Li Xiu, it would mean making enemies with ordinary people worldwide.
It seemed like showing weakness to the enemy, but in fact, it had already put them in an invincible position.
And the words that followed told everyone that the City of Light wasn't a place where you could come and go as you please.
Such methods and mind, it was really hard to imagine that it came from the usually introverted and shy girl's mouth.
"In that case, I'll make an exception to teach you a thing or two. What is your code name?" Tian Liu had no choice but to fight, realizing if he didn't, Ye Xiyuan wouldn't let him go.
"City of Light—Shuang Ye." Ye Xiyuan blurted out, having already thought of her code name.
Shuang Ye, representing both her and Ye Yuzhen, she wanted to fight not only for herself but also for Ye Yuzhen.
"Frost Leaves? Be careful then, my magic armor might be a bit strong." Tian Liu nodded, mistakenly understanding Ye Xiyuan's code name as Frost Leaves filling the sky.
"Please guide me." Ye Xiyuan also activated the Ghost-faced Magic Armor, as streaks of Light Pattern illuminated on the Ghost-faced Magic Armor.
