Chapter 359: Sisters

Angela on the stage, however, showed a hint of guilt under Li Mochen's questioning gaze: "What are you looking at? OK, I admit it has some effect on my body, but as long as I have enough medicine, it won't damage the foundation. And it has nothing to do with your matter, Amo. I wanted to lift the seal long ago, either this month or next. Besides, since it's already lifted, can I take it back?"

Perhaps due to self-hypnosis, Angela grew more confident as she spoke, and began to look at the opposite side with fighting spirit: "Amo, you're not allowed to mess around this time. Do as we agreed, be a normal seventh-level magic swordsman, um~ at most tenth-level. Otherwise, I'll get angry."

Saying this, a hint of resentment also appeared in Angela's eyes. She had originally planned to use the Mindscape Barrier to steal the show, but ended up being overshadowed by Li Mochen's thunderous strike at the start.

Li Mochen sighed, but still restrained his thoughts and prepared to focus on the enemy.

He knew that magic like the 'Mindscape Barrier' consumed a lot of mental energy—talking nonsense at this time would only increase Angela's burden. Instead, it was better to concentrate on the battle, either quickly defeat the opponent or lose early.

But things didn't go as planned; their simulated battle lasted a full twenty-five minutes before ending. The academy team still couldn't beat the five sparring partners, and in the end, Li Mochen stood alone on the stage, fighting two opponents.

Yet this result already made everyone present overjoyed.

Angela's simulated Ice Domain was nearly at a high level, affecting the movements and joint flexibility of the outlaws to some extent. This gave William a bit of breathing room.

And Angela's 'Magic Sword Caladbolg' posed a fatal threat to the outlaws. The continuous roaring thunder made it almost impossible for the enemy's magic mages to cast spells normally.

Thus, during the twenty-five-minute battle, both sides remained evenly matched. William Jacques and Louise Linden's combat abilities had grown to some extent during this time, fully displayed in the fight.

It wasn't until sweat began to appear on Angela's forehead that the people on the stage spontaneously adopted a 'trade-off tactic' to end the fierce battle.

After the battle ended, Li Mochen immediately walked toward Angela. He forcefully took her hand, not allowing any refusal.

Meanwhile, the people offstage were discussing animatedly.

"This is a real surprise! Even just with Miss Medici's abilities, it would be enough to win. Just let Amo's displayed strength increase by another ten percent."

The speaker was a representative from Edward Jewelry Company, his face flushed with excitement.

But then another person beside him retorted: "Ten percent might not be enough. I think finishing the battle within ten minutes is most suitable. The time shouldn't be too long, and it needs a certain level of spectacle; he can decide for himself. Also, to be cautious, we should continue with our previous plan. It's obvious that Li cares a lot about his girlfriend."

"The Silence Domain is crucial; it can complement the Ice Domain."

Carl Holton glanced at his two temporary 'colleagues' beside him: "Ed, have you already obtained the 'Silence Scepter'?"

"Got it. Spent a bit more money, exceeded our budget."

The middle-aged man named Ed adjusted his glasses: "But seeing today's scene, it still feels worth it. Undoubtedly, this is a future fighting superstar, isn't it? He doesn't need to wait until high school graduation; he's already qualified to stand on the NMOSA (National Mixed Weapon Combat Alliance) arena."

On stage, Li Mochen had already circulated his true energy through Angela's body. She felt a bit shy and uncomfortable, as if several mice were scurrying inside her, while also feeling like a lover's hand caressing her skin, causing her face to flush.

As time passed, Li Mochen's expression gradually relaxed, and the shock in his eyes grew stronger.

This girl's mental power, in terms of quantity alone, was comparable to a Legend!

If an ordinary person's mental power was a drop of water, then Angela was a lake, an ocean. The key was that this girl could wield it like an arm, performing fine mental shaping and manifestation.

This was strange; in Li Mochen's mind, no knowledge could explain Angela's condition.

Was it bloodline? A dragon-blooded sorcerer from the Nightmare Dragon lineage? No, Angela now gave him the feeling that she herself was a Nightmare Dragon. But she was clearly human—

"See? I told you it's fine. As long as the battle doesn't exceed forty minutes, it won't affect me much."

When Li Mochen let go, Angela's tense body relaxed slightly: "I know my limits."

"Aurora was right. Your mental power is too strong; unsealing it too early will overwhelm your body, and your blood energy will gradually weaken. It's also not good for your magic cultivation, making the path to higher职业 levels rough and difficult."

Li Mochen fell into thought: "But this might not be a bad thing. Waiting two more years to unseal is good for your body, but not for your mental power growth. So, Angela, can you trust me now?"

Angela tilted her head and looked at Li Mochen: "Why ask that? You're making me angry, Amo."

Li Mochen immediately smiled, realizing he had misspoken.

"Sorry! But in the coming months, I hope you can follow me in practicing a special secret technique. During this time, some physical contact may be needed, very intimate kind. It also involves mental merging and manipulation. So this requires absolute trust between us. I don't know if you're willing, Angela? Can you accept it?"

"Very intimate contact?"

Angela seemed to think of something, her pretty face reddening again: "Of course I trust you. I'm already curious; the secret technique you mentioned must be very helpful to me, right?"

"More than you can imagine. Once you start practicing, you'll feel the effects."

At this moment, Li Mochen turned to look at Lina Ederick: "What's wrong with your maid?"

This girl, except for maintaining some attention at the start of the battle, had been absent-minded and dazed the rest of the time.

"She—"

Angela sighed softly: "You should know about Delphinia Ederick, the Night Ruler? They both share the surname Ederick."

Li Mochen's expression stiffened slightly: "Sisters?"

"They used to be, but after Del's body mutated, the Ederick family stripped her of her Holy Angel bloodline, considering her a disgrace to the family. At that time, no one expected she would become so powerful."

Angela shook her head, then looked gloomily out the window: "Speaking of Del, I wonder what's really happening at the Arlington Building? I heard this time, the Heterorace lost, and lost badly. Besides, many hostages died."

She thought that this was indeed the work of the person beside her, and most likely involved contact with Lina's sister.
