Chapter 729 - Lyovkin Vs Yuri

"Kh." Despite winning, Yuri was biting her lips. If not because of the sudden pressure from above, she wouldn't need to release all her power.

In other words, Levina managed to force her to use all her power despite having a massive gap between them.

Levina returned to the Wind Emperor with her head hanging low. "I'm sorry, Grandfather. I couldn't do much."

"It's fine." The Wind Emperor was satisfied with her performance, knowing that this gap wasn't that easy to overcome. So, she knew that Levina had outperformed any of her previous achievements. "You lost the battle but won the war. Well done."

"Thank you."

Levina then returned to her position as the Wind Emperor signaled Lyovkin to move.

Meanwhile, Theo, beside her, opened his mouth. "Replicating the thing I showed you yesterday, eh?"

"Ehm, sorry if that makes you uncomfortable." Levina apologized politely.

"You have the foundation to do it, and what you need right now is to get used to it, learning the timing. After all, your basic strength will improve too, so I know that you can do much more in one year. You will only get stronger from now on, I guarantee it." Theo made a gentle smile.

Levina couldn't help but smile. Just like Agata, it was hard for her to contain her emotion. She even needed to look away to avoid showing her embarrassed face.

"Thank you very much." Levina didn't forget to thank him.

Theo took another glance at her before watching the battle.

In the arena, Lyovkin was staring at Yuri before extending his hand, saying the same words as she said earlier. "You first."

This just showed that he was looking down on her like what she did to Levina.

"…" Yuri frowned, not feeling good with his attitude. She thought that other than Zhilov, no one could defeat her. So, she pulled her bow, releasing her first arrow.

The arrow traveled faster than when she faced Levina, showing that she had been holding back this whole time.

But Lyovkin didn't find this challenging. He simply raised his hand and clutched it.

The wind moved violently and crushed the arrow, snapping it into two. After that, he pulled his arm and formed a powerful spiral wind.

"Great Twister." He muttered in a low voice as he punched forward.

The torrential wind flew forward, trying to engulf her.

Yuri wasn't afraid of this power. She simply pulled her bow as her arrow began to shine.

The arrow moved straight into the center of the twister, releasing golden pollen behind it.

Surprisingly, the moment it entered the twister, the pollen began to spread into the air as the wind suddenly dispersed for no reason.

"…" Lyovkin maintained his poker face as he charged forward, trying to close their distance.

Yuri raised her bow and shot the sky.

Suddenly, the arrow turned into a giant golden-colored ball, floating in the air.

She then raised two fingers and waved them down.

Five pointed lights struck forth from the golden-colored ball, leaving a golden trail behind them. These five pointed bolts of lights flew in different directions to surround Lyovkin.

This attack reminded him of how he attacked Theo with five tornadoes. After getting the explanation of what really happened, he was shocked. He never expected Theo's wall was just an illusion that had been coated by his shield, making him think it was real.

At the same time, it made him realize that he could do something similar.

So, when he faced this technique, he raised his hands and waved it down at the same time, controlling the air current to knock the arrow off.

But he only knocked three of them as the other two still continued forward.

Yuri smirked when she saw this, knowing his strength was still not enough to defeat her.

With these two arrows, Lyovkin didn't have a choice other than to move to the right, avoiding the arrows.

Yuri had pulled her bow, aiming at him. She had been waiting for him to make this kind of move where he would have a hard time blocking it.

Sadly for her, this was just a trap laid by Lyovkin.

Instead of copying what Theo did by blocking the arrow, he made it look like he didn't have enough power to knock them down.

This way, his next path was determined and Yuri would surely take that chance to shoot him.

Little did she know, it also meant this was the only time she lowered her guard down and focused on attacking him.

And Lyovkin had prepared for it. The moment he stepped to the right, his foot also moved together with him, kicking the air.

This generated a powerful wind that hit Yuri from the opposite direction or her now blind spot.

Bam!

Yuri widened her eyes when she felt something big hit her hand, knocking her bow away.

'What's that?' Yuri widened her eyes and saw her bow in the corner of her eyes. 'What just happened?'

While she was confused, Lyovkin took this chance to move forward, trying to close their distance.

He successfully arrived in front of her and sent a punch forward.

Yuri tried to use her arrow to stab him, but it was too late.

Lyovkin's fist already reached her left cheek, launching her into the air.

"Ghh…" Yuri gritted her teeth after getting punched in the face.

On the contrary to Yuri's confusion, all the people watching the fight had their mouths open.

The Wind Emperor smirked as he knew that Lyovkin had changed after the spar with Theo.

On the other hand, the Empress sucked a cold breath as she muttered inwardly, 'Impossible. I have read their information. Both Levina and Lyovkin's movements should be straightforward. But…'

She realized that Levina and Lyovkin showed something that no one ever expected them to use.

The moment she looked to the side and saw the grin on the Wind Emperor's face, her eyes immediately went straight to Theo, realizing he was the culprit. And Theo just arrived two days ago.

'What did he do to transform these two arrogant children into sly fighters? These children… might be able to surpass Zhilov.'
