Chapter 115 Battle Between The Holy Maiden And Hong De

[You couldn't help but feel that you were lucky to find two suitable star artifacts for Alice in just one place. 'As expected, joining the Star Master Youth Competition is a must. I can basically harvest a lot of top-grade star artifacts that are owned by those geniuses from top forces.']

[Although Hong De was your cousin in the previous timeline, you could care less about ants like him so you didn't bother to learn about his star artifact. However, upon discovery, you realized that Hong De's divine wind sword star artifact suited Alice the most since her superpower was wind manipulation.]

[Although Alice didn't use any weapons and wasn't that proficient in any weapons since she mostly used her wind manipulation for battle, it wasn't a problem since you could just transfer your knowledge and muscle memory for swordsmanship to Alice.]

['The Holy Maiden's holy angel star artifact and Hong De's divine wind sword star artifact… Alice must have those!' With that thought in mind, the way you looked at the Holy Maiden and Hong De has changed. You looked at them like they were a bunch of leeks, waiting for you to be harvested.]

[However, you know that it wasn't the time yet since you haven't become a Level 100 Astral Constellation. It would be foolish to offend the Star Hall before obtaining the hidden location of the ancient book from that cultist.]

[Intending to witness the battle between the Holy Maiden and Hong De, you lay on the ground as you feigned unconsciousness. You only planned to interfere if the Holy Maiden's life was in danger or if Hong De dared to sexually harass the Holy Maiden.]

[After the Holy Maiden and Hong De revealed their star artifacts, even Lian Yun near Hong De's side was already feeling threatened by the clashing astral pressure of the Holy Maiden and Hong De.]

[Although Lian Yun managed to resist the astral pressure of two Star Saints since she was a Level 69 Star Emperor, those couldn't be said for the weaker star masters who had previously managed to resist it. Now, those star masters had either fallen unconscious or had already left the scene a while ago.]

[Because of that, only the Holy Maiden, Hong De, Lian Yun, and you were the only ones who were still conscious. When the Holy Maiden and Hong De released their astral pressure to the fullest to gain dominance, they still didn't make a move and were observing each other to find flaws and weaknesses.]

[In the end, the first to make a move was Hong De as he had some control over the element of wind so he used that to increase his movement speed and dashed towards the Holy Maiden. Holding the divine wind sword star artifact in his left hand, Hong De swiftly slashed it toward the Holy Maiden.]

[It only took Hong De less than a millisecond to appear in front of the Holy Maiden and attack her with his sword. Hong De was very fast but the Holy Maiden who had her physical attributes improved by her holy angel star artifact was not much worse.]

[Before the divine wind sword managed to cut and injure her, the Holy Maiden blocked the attack by putting her golden scepter in front of her. The long handle of the golden scepter collided with the divine wind sword.]

[Bright sparks were generated upon the collision of the golden scepter and the divine wind sword which was accompanied by the loud sound of metallic friction. Although the golden scepter wasn't truly a star artifact but only a weapon made out of the holy light of her holy angel star artifact, it was still no different from a solid construct so the Holy Maiden could use it as a weapon against Hong De.]

[With the continuous collision between the Holy Maiden's golden scepter and Hong De's divine wind sword, the battle between the Holy Maiden and Hong De lasted for a minute.]

[The Revered Constellation powerhouses that were protecting them from secrecy didn't make a move yet and like you, they were also watching the battle between the Holy Maiden and Hong De.]

[However, you could notice that if ever those Revered Constellation powerhouses dared to make a move, the other side's Revered Constellation powerhouse would make a move and counter them. And since the battle of Revered Constellations wouldn't instantly be decided with just one move as long as their power gap wasn't that huge, just countering the other side's powerhouse was enough to prevent them from interfering with the Holy Maiden and Hong De.]

[Because of that, even if Hong De harmed the Holy Maiden, the protectors of the Holy Maiden couldn't immediately save her since they would be blocked by the protectors of Hong De.]

[Even if the Holy Maiden's protectors were slightly stronger than Hong De's, just a second of delay was enough for the Holy Maiden to die from Hong De's hands if Hong De managed to seize the opportunity to do so.]

[From that alone, the Holy Maiden's life depended on you since if Hong De attempted to behead her, the Holy Maiden's protectors couldn't immediately intervene since they would be blocked immediately by Hong De's protectors. But since you were present, then the safety of the Holy Maiden was already guaranteed since you could even kill all of the Revered Constellations who were hiding in secrecy with just a thought of yours.]

['The Holy Maiden sure is lucky that I just so happened to have nothing to do and managed to pass by here. Otherwise, she would die due to her arrogance. Although it was Hong De who wronged her since Hong De was acting like those dick-headed young masters, the Holy Maiden is still weaker than him so she should have just swallowed her pride and taken revenge later.']

[From what you have heard before, the reason behind their conflict was the thousand-year-old jade necklace that the Holy Maiden had bought from an auction. However, Hong De had taken fancy in it but he lost in the bidding against it since Hong De wasn't as rich as the Holy Maiden. Because of that, Hong De could only resort to forcefully taking it from the Holy Maiden.]

['Well, their conflicts don't matter to me anyway. At least their battle will further showcase the power of their star artifacts so that I will know whether their star artifacts are worthy to be used by Alice.' With that in mind, you continued watching the battle between the Holy Maiden and Hong De.]
