"In the front row, selling sunflower seeds, drinks, bread, and beef jerky;

And if needed, this mobile stall also offers benches and telescopes together..."

In a bustling and extraordinary place, Freya, the stall owner, is earnestly selling various convenient goods that are easy to carry.

Food and drinks are provided to satisfy the citizens' appetites;

The presence of benches is to accommodate the viewers who are not used to standing for a long time;

As for telescopes and other observation tools, they are meant to allow people further away to clearly see what lies ahead even from a distance.

To ensure the sales of all the goods offered by Freya, there is one crucial condition that must be met:

In the current location, there must be a lively atmosphere that people feel they cannot afford to miss.

However, the people of Dibiles have already witnessed several grand scenes during the recent martial arts competition.

In order to keep the knowledgeable individuals willingly staying here, there is only one possibility:

The current lively atmosphere must exceed the scale and intensity of the previous martial arts competition, which is to say:

It must be tied to events involving the Queen!

At this moment, within the royal city of Dibiles, almost every household has emptied out;

Men, women, children, and the elderly—all are gathered around the outskirts of the venue to witness a momentous event that occurs once in decades;

At this very moment (after six o'clock in the evening), the Queen herself has arrived at the scene to face off against Wang Xiaole;

Isabella is no longer hesitating and is determined to utilize the royal ancestral treasures in the upcoming duel with full seriousness.

The reason she let go of all her worries was due to her master's initial comforting words;

Back then, Wang Xiaole clearly told his apprentice:

In this battle, he would suppress his own strength to the level of his apprentice's;

During this duel, the master intended to fulfill his duty and guide his apprentice properly;

Therefore, the apprentice must not hold back; otherwise, the guidance would lose its significance;

If Isabella truly did so, it would be akin to disrespecting the master's good intentions and could be considered as "betraying the master and destroying the ancestral teachings."

Realizing this relationship, Isabella raised the royal flag and, at the moment of revealing her weapon, prepared herself for a full-fledged battle against her master.

The outcome of this final duel directly impacts whether Wang Xiaole, as the prospective husband of the Queen, can remove the word "prospective" afterwards.

The most beloved Emperor and the most captivating goddess, who captivate everyone, are about to decide their future with each other on this day.

In such a tense and anticipatory atmosphere, everyone's thoughts are rather complex;

Especially for those who are enamored by Wang Xiaole's beauty, their feelings are even more conflicted in this moment.

On one hand, they hope the goddess does not lose, but on the other hand, they fantasize:

What if the goddess is not chosen by the Queen and they have a chance instead?

With tens of thousands of people packed inside and outside the venue, and hundreds of thousands queuing up in the city, a million different emotions collide and converge;

In the next moment, amidst the expectations of these millions, the final battle officially begins!

Isabella made her move.

At the moment she leapt forward, it was not as if the ground beneath her feet cracked and split apart like it did for others;

Exactly the Opposite:

In that moment, the ground beneath Isabella's feet seemed to bloom like petals of a flower, rising inch by inch and then stretching outward.

Her body didn't move quickly, yet she effortlessly covered tens of meters in just a few steps, appearing in front of her master in a flash.

The holy banner was Isabella's only weapon, and its sharpness and lethality were no less than those of first-rate weapons.

Isabella lightly touched the jade finger at the tip of the flagpole, controlling the flag to stab straight ahead all of a sudden.

In response, Wang Xiaole continued to use his beloved longsword.

After his previous duel with Ledux, he had significantly improved his swordsmanship.

No one could see Wang Xiaole draw his sword.

The reason was not that the citizens were not paying attention to his face; it was simply that their eyes couldn't keep up.

Clang!

In an instant, the stabbing flag tip was blocked by the turned horizontal blade.

The sharp edge of the flag slid past, like a feather brushing the surface of a lake, creating a fleeting ripple.

The flag's stab was just the first step for Isabella, and not yet a complete one;

Without waiting for the next second, she opened the five fingers of her left hand at the base of her fingers and lightly stroked the empty space in front of her cheek.

There was a hint of apology on Isabella's face towards her master;

But in action, she was serious, not only taking the initiative but also snapping her fingertips immediately;

With this action, ripples of energy instantly surged in the nearby void;

At the same time in the sky, countless golden thunderbolts materialized out of thin air, tearing apart the clouds on both sides and overwhelmingly shrouding Wang Xiaole.

Isabella was a master of lightning elemental magic, not only capable of casually using advanced lightning magic;

Her incantation was so short that it was imperceptible.

Facing the numerous thunderbolts rushing towards him, Wang Xiaole adopted a strategy of responding accordingly, at the same moment his three thousand emerald strands gently swayed, a burst of white light sprayed from his body.

The essence of the light was a mix of magical ice elements;

Wang Xiaole's insistence on using this element had nothing to do with maintaining elegance, but was simply a reaction after observing his surroundings.

Using ice elements was most suitable in winter.

If Isabella was not proficient in just one type of elemental magic, she definitely would not have neglected the excellent natural environment around her, but...

From the perspective of the onlookers, it seemed as if a whole piece of white from the stage rose up shortly after;

The white mass floated up and arrived overhead Wang Xiaole, forming layers of swirling clouds;

In an instant, the temperature in the air dropped, and the coolness that lowered the on-site temperature quickly and uniformly swept through the entire area.

A myriad against a myriad!

The number of thunderbolts summoned by Isabella corresponded to the scale of the ice crystals rising above Wang Xiaole's head.

The size of the ice crystals was not constant.

As the thunderbolts struck down, attempting to shatter the intercepting ice crystals;

At that moment, the size of the latter suddenly expanded, resembling a sponge expanding as if absorbing water.

As the ice crystals grew in size, their interception power against lightning also became stronger.

Soon, thunder and ice crystals came into contact, leading to a scene of golden explosions;

From this perspective, interpreting "interception" as "shattering" might be more appropriate.

After her initial elemental attack was thwarted, Isabella didn't back down. Instinctively, she raised her hand and controlled the shattered lightning;

As she slowly clenched her hand, the previously broken pale golden elements, under the influence of a surging divine power, suddenly surged upward before falling to the ground;

The divine power carried the shattered elements straight into the sky, transforming into a brilliant golden thunderstorm in an instant;

Amidst the roaring winds, there were muffled thunderclaps, and flashes and arcs of lightning continued to dance;

Others instinctively averted their gaze from that area to avoid being dazzled by the bright light.

As the more powerful thunder elements rolled in, Wang Xiaole quickly changed his strategy and promptly retracted all the ice crystals into the cloud formation created by human efforts.

After incorporating countless derivatives into his body, the scale of the clouds also expanded several times, becoming unstable externally.

The impact of the thunderstorm on the clouds was significant, causing the already unstable clouds to explode without giving room for a reaction.

Boom! Bang! Boom! Boom!

From the outside, the clouds undoubtedly "self-destructed";

The resulting effect transformed the initially formidable thunderstorm into unmanageable golden fragments that fell to the ground like autumn rain.

Just then, Isabella's slender figure leaped up;

With a swift touch of her foot on some fragments, she closed the distance to her master;

Simultaneously, through the tightly gripped holy flag, which was like a long spear, several afterimages appeared in an instant, carrying a powerful force and swiftly approaching.

Although attacking multiple directions with a spear simultaneously, Wang Xiaole was well aware:

The true main target of the disciple's attack was actually just one point.

Handling such elusive attacks might deceive others, but Wang Xiaole, as a master, had absolute confidence and completely believed in his control over this round.

He was determined to prove his confidence;

Shortly thereafter, as Isabella gathered the flag and pushed the flagpole towards them, a sudden change occurred!

Crack! Crackle! Crack!

The ice chips scattered and covered the surface of the arena in frost, creating a strong adhesive force;

Even though Isabella's lunge was brief, as soon as her boot touched the ground, the effects became evident.

Isabella's movements were halted as her body froze, preventing the flagpole from crossing the blinking distance.

To counter his disciple's rapid advance and the multiple flag shadows created at lightning speed, Wang Xiaole's solution was simple:

By limiting the opponent's movements and causing a pause in the disciple's actions, the spear thrusting forward naturally came to a sudden halt;

An attack that cannot be executed, regardless of its brilliance, poses no threat at all!

This exchange could be considered a valuable lesson that Wang Xiaole imparted to his disciple.

Moreover, it significantly strengthens and enhances the memory in this regard, regardless of the other party's willingness. Of course, being trapped is only temporary; when Isabella redirected her focus and aimed her sharp tip towards the area at her feet, the layer of frost was destroyed. Following that, a shimmering arc covered it, completely eliminating the adhesive properties leftover from the frost on a physical level. Ending is far from ending, and the beginning has just begun. After all, it's a showdown that stakes her marriage, and Isabella will not easily be defeated!
