Spencer couldn’t hold back and had a ninth-tier apprentice from his group step forward. Although he couldn’t duel for higher contribution points due to the interference of other adventure groups, 100, 000 was still a significant amount, so he wanted to secure it first.
Representing the Shadow Adventure Group was a tall, fierce-looking young man with a scar on his face.
This person was Spencer’s brother, named Thomas Terrance.
In the association hall, everyone cleared out, leaving a space in the middle.
Thomas, holding a long staff, walked into the center, looking at Carlotta with a smirk, "Why don’t you just surrender?"
Carlotta drew her Cross Rose, pointing her sword at him, "Thomas Terrance, right? Hurry up, I’m in a hurry."
Thomas’s face darkened, and he charged forward like a beast descending the mountain.
His long staff swung through the air with a noticeable whoosh, heavily striking towards Carlotta.
Carlotta tapped her toe and directly thrust her sword at Thomas.
Seventh Movement: Elven Moon Devourer!
With her action, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, with only Carlotta herself illuminated, dazzlingly bright.
For Thomas, as he approached, his vision went dark, instantly losing sight. This startled him, and he frantically swung his staff around, trying to block any incoming attacks.
But he hadn’t been swinging for long, hitting nothing, when he felt a sudden chill on his neck, causing his body to stiffen, and he dared not move.
As an adventurer, he knew all too well what that cold sensation on his neck meant.
Then his vision returned, taking in the scene of the association hall, the surprised expressions of the adventurers, and the grim looks of the Shadow Adventure Group members.
Carlotta stood behind Thomas, her sword resting on his neck. If she wished, she could have his head rolled at any moment.
"Moonlight Adventure Group versus Shadow Adventure Group, Moonlight Adventure Group wins."
Sonia announced the result.
The association staff immediately began transferring the 100, 000 contribution points from the Shadow Adventure Group to the Moonlight Adventure Group’s account.
Seeing this, Carlotta sheathed her sword and said indifferently, "Next, hurry up, I’m really in a hurry."
The fight ended so quickly that many adventurers were left in a daze.
But as Thomas walked off dejectedly, someone else stepped forward.
This was a ninth-tier apprentice from the Rock Shield Adventure Group, holding a shield and wearing armor.
"Waste, a ninth-tier apprentice can’t beat a seventh-tier apprentice, how can you be so useless?"
Spencer was truly furious, looking at his returned brother and couldn’t help but scold. He had set everything up, placing high hopes on Thomas, only for Thomas to deliver such a result?
That Elven Moon Devourer move didn’t seem hard to counter in his eyes.
Facing his brother’s scolding, Thomas was in a tough spot. He was a seasoned fighter, but against Carlotta, it didn’t feel like he was up against a seventh-tier apprentice at all.
At this point, Carlotta had already clashed with the ninth-tier apprentice from the Rock Shield Adventure Group.
The opponent used Shield Magic, capable of creating various protections with shields, but also possessing counterattacks, damage reflection, and piercing effects, not lacking in lethality.
Carlotta encountered this kind of magic for the first time and was slightly interested. She quietly held back a bit, engaging in a back-and-forth with the opponent for a while.
Seeing this, Thomas couldn’t help but said, "Brother, look, this person is really not simple. She can go back and forth even with other ninth-tier apprentices."
Upon hearing this, Spencer turned around and slapped Thomas, "Then why don’t you manage a back-and-forth situation? Why did you lose instantly? What exactly are you good for?"
Thomas was stunned, covering his face and looking at Carlotta with resentment.
He felt that Carlotta wasn’t taking it seriously, unlike when she dealt with him.
Aren’t you in a hurry? Why not go all out?
Thomas almost wanted to shout in his heart.
The members of the Rock Shield Adventure Group ultimately didn’t last long against Carlotta. After she became familiar with the shield magic, she increased the intensity of her attacks. With a sword strike like a falling star, dazzling and brilliant, she forcefully shattered the opponent’s magically conjured shield and placed her sword at the opponent’s neck.
"I lost," the young man sobbed, looking at Carlotta with a complex gaze.
Carlotta withdrew her sword and said indifferently, "Next."
There were ten people who had arranged to duel with Carlotta, from ten different adventure groups. But after Carlotta defeated just two, the eight remaining adventure groups started to look uneasy.
They stared at Carlotta intently, hardly believing that a seventh-tier apprentice could defeat ninth-tier apprentices so easily.
"Mrs. Dalsheim, she..."
Someone looked at Sonia, suspecting that there was something wrong with Carlotta, that her current tier might be fake.
Sonia said unhurriedly, "This lady is indeed a seventh-tier apprentice, but her understanding of the Elven Knight Path is too profound. Every attack can be called a masterpiece. I’ve never seen anyone use the Elven Knight Path so well."
Elven Knight Path is very famous and widely spread, quite popular in the major kingdoms of the Sun Moon Federation.
Hearing Sonia say this, the adventurers could no longer doubt Carlotta, as they also believed that Carlotta couldn’t deceive Sonia.
Sonia had previously beaten Tristian, the vice-president of the Adventurers’ Association, not just because Tristian was too guilty to fight back, but because Sonia truly had the strength to beat him.
It is said that Sonia married Tristian, which was actually a kind of condescension, considering Tristian’s father was the president of the Adventurers’ Association.
The remaining eight adventure groups, although somewhat wary of Carlotta, could not go back on the duels that had been decided under Sonia’s witness.
The third person stepped forward.
This person was very straightforward, a young man who practiced knight skills, charging forward with a spear in hand, which he wielded like a serpent, extremely tricky.
His strength was no less than the previous two.
But this didn’t worry Carlotta too much. She swung her sword, once again displaying the exquisitely refined Elven Knight Path, clashing with the opponent repeatedly. In just a few rounds, she used the Elven Dance to knock the opponent’s spear away and placed the Rose Cross at his neck.
"Next!" Carlotta said bluntly.
At this moment, the members of the adventure groups didn’t look too good, realizing they had done something foolish. They had originally targeted Carlotta’s contribution points, wanting to obtain them through duels, but instead ended up giving their own points to Carlotta.
Someone still couldn’t help but approach Sonia, requesting to cancel the duel, but such a request was firmly refused by Sonia.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
Carlotta continued to fight the remaining people, defeating one ninth-tier apprentice after another, each time not taking too long.
When she was still a sixth-tier apprentice, she had killed a ninth-tier apprentice on Lionheart Island. Although it took a bit longer back then, she had done it without a scratch.
Now, as a seventh-tier apprentice, she could face ninth-tier apprentices more comfortably.
If the training room on the Moonlight ship could be set up with a Listener, she would have wanted to compete with a Listener to see who was stronger.
As one ninth-tier apprentice after another fell to Carlotta, the town of Pine was abuzz.
Sonia was originally going to announce the Sky Island spots, which is why so many people had come to the Adventurers’ Association. The streets outside were also filled with people, but even so, not everyone could squeeze in. On the streets further away, many were still waiting for news.
The events inside the Adventurers’ Association were transmitted through several amplification cards at the entrance, so people on the streets outside also knew what was happening inside.
They knew that the leader of the Moonlight Adventure Group, a seventh-tier apprentice, was dueling and continuously defeating ninth-tier apprentices, which was quite astonishing.
News about Carlotta spread quickly. By the time she had defeated all ten ninth-tier apprentices, everyone in Songwu Town knew of her existence.
"Next!" Carlotta habitually shouted inside the Adventurers’ Association.
The members of the ten adventure groups looked stiff, completely unprepared for such an outcome. Not one of the ten ninth-tier apprentices could defeat Carlotta.
"There’s no next, you’ve completed all the duels," Sonia reminded.
"Oh, I see," Carlotta understood.
Her reaction made the members of the ten adventure groups feel quite sour.
They felt that Carlotta seemed like she hadn’t had enough, and this made them extremely uncomfortable, never having felt so aggrieved before.
"Would you dare to have another duel? For a million contribution points," Spencer couldn’t help but speak up.
Carlotta’s eyes lit up immediately, "Sure, which apprentice will duel me?"
The other adventure groups couldn’t help but look at Spencer. Was this guy still trying to give away contribution points?
Under everyone’s gaze, Spencer felt his face heat up and said, "Would you accept a duel with a Listener?"
Everyone was speechless, looking at Spencer with extremely subtle expressions.
If an apprentice can’t win, then you want to use a Listener to fight an apprentice? Isn’t that a bit too much?
They thought Carlotta wouldn’t agree to such a thing. What apprentice would be willing to duel a Listener? Only a lunatic would.
