The knight said shyly, "Miss Meyer, can I have a match with you?"

Meyer was slightly taken aback. She looked him over carefully and smiled, "I didn't expect you to already be an entry-level golden knight at such a young age! What, do you want to see the gap between yourself and a high-level golden knight?"

The young knight nodded, his face full of admiration. "From a young age, my family has called me a 'genius' and viewed me as the pride of our family. I've worked hard and been in seclusion within the family. This year, I just turned eighteen and advanced to a golden knight. Originally, I thought I was a unique, natural-born knight. But after venturing out, I discovered that before me, six exceptional individuals became golden knights before turning twenty. Among them, you, Miss Meyer, are the most outstanding, having advanced at the age of sixteen..."

Meyer found the slightly "martial arts-obsessed" young knight interesting and asked, "So, you want to challenge me to prove you're not inferior to me?"

"No, that's not it!" The young knight blushed, shaking his hands in a flustered manner. "I just want to see the difference between myself and you, Miss Meyer..."

Seeing the young knight's embarrassed and nervous demeanor, Meyer smiled gently, not wanting to tease this inarticulate young genius anymore. She nodded, "No need to explain, I understand. Now, make your move."

The young knight looked deeply at Meyer, and seeing she wasn't mocking him for overestimating himself, he smiled gratefully and sincerely said, "Thank you."

The audience was also very surprised. They did not expect another genius youth to emerge in this knight tournament. It is known that although the difference between a high-level silver knight and an entry-level golden knight is only one rank, their strength is worlds apart.

Many high-level silver knights never cross that threshold in their lifetime. To be an entry-level golden knight at eighteen is extremely rare, with only six others in the current knight world. Each of those six is a renowned figure.

Now, seeing a new star rising in the knight world, how could the audience not be excited?

Unfortunately, due to the rules of the knight tournament, participants did not wear gear identifying their family, and this young knight, appearing in public for the first time, wasn't recognized by anyone in the audience, leading to much discussion about his origins.

Ignoring the noise from the audience, the two combatants prepared for their match.

Perhaps due to being overly excited or because it was his first time fighting an "outsider," the young knight forgot to follow the challenger's tradition of announcing his name and directly assumed his stance.

Logically, an entry-level golden knight should have some ability to face a high-level golden knight. However, everyone could see his nervousness from his slightly trembling hand holding the sword!

The overwhelming cheers from the audience were immense pressure for him, and Meyer's renowned name had been ringing in his ears recently. Though usually confident, he was now completely at a loss.

Out of respect for her challenger, Meyer revealed her weapon—a giant axe, seemingly at odds with her.

Raising her weapon high in response to her supporters' cheers, Meyer exuded an aura of unparalleled dominance!

Eric shook his head as he watched from below. The disparity was too vast, not just in terms of strength but also in mentality. If the young knight couldn't pull himself together, Meyer would easily defeat him, and his future skills would likely stagnate.

Just as Eric was lamenting the impending fall of a talented young knight, the situation on stage changed. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing Meyer lift her giant axe, the young knight's blood suddenly boiled, and a sense of shame enveloped him. He was a knight, a true knight. For a brave knight, death was preferable to retreat! To die at the hands of the "golden knight closest to the holy knight" would be an honor.

Realizing this, he straightened his back and shouted, though his voice was quickly drowned by the deafening cheers. He knew his heart was alive, and he would fight with all his might. Even if he lost, he would have no regrets!

The high-level golden knights watching all showed expressions of appreciation!

Meyer also sensed the change in her opponent and smiled contentedly. Such a match had meaning and wouldn't waste the appearance of her giant axe!

Even though the young knight showed strong resolve, no one thought he stood a chance of winning. Even those who wanted to encourage this young genius wouldn't dare to say Meyer would lose in this setting unless they were willing to risk being beaten or worse!

## The Match Begins!

The young knight took the initiative, knowing he was at a disadvantage and needed to strike first!

A pale golden battle aura enveloped his body. As he accelerated, he transformed into a streak of pale golden light. Nearing Meyer, he suddenly leaped into the air, soaring above her head. The knight's sword slashed down, executing a move akin to "Splitting the Mountain." The faint golden sword aura descended from above, directly aiming at Meyer's crown!

"What a move!"

Meyer shouted in a low voice. As the sword aura approached, a brilliant light flashed, and an ice-cold battle aura shot up to meet the pale golden sword.

But Meyer did not stop there.

Swipe, swipe! A cross slash followed the released battle aura, chasing after the young knight.

The young knight had underestimated the power of a high-level golden knight's battle aura. He hadn't expected that the battle aura casually released by a high-level golden knight would possess such unparalleled destructive power, instantly neutralizing his full-force "Aerial Slash."

As he marveled in astonishment, the cross slash had already pursued him! There was no time to change his move; he could only muster all his battle aura to withstand the attack!

Out of appreciation for him, Meyer did not use her full strength, only about half of her power.

Yet, even with just half her strength, the young knight was thrown out of the ring, landing flat on the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

From the young knight's initial charge to being knocked down took only five seconds. Some knights who had closed their eyes for a yawn opened them to find someone already lying on the ground!

The scene fell silent as everyone stared in disbelief, holding their breath. They had expected Meyer, who seemed to admire the young knight, to exchange dozens of moves with him before defeating him. But now, the challenger was down in just one move!

This result surprised not only the audience but also Meyer. She had indeed wanted the young knight to give his all, but she had miscalculated her strength. She had intended to push him back but ended up knocking him out!

Though the difference between high-level and entry-level golden knights is two ranks, their strength disparity is not as vast as that between silver and golden knights. Such a one-hit knockout should be unlikely!

Meyer blinked thoughtfully and glanced at Eric. Seeing his smile, she realized that her improvement was thanks to her good brother!

Yes, this was Eric's doing.

The "Marrow Cleansing" that took a significant toll on someone of Eric's level was not a simple matter. In just one night, not only had Meyer regained all her strength, but she had also strengthened her muscles and expanded her meridians. Now, her 50% battle aura was equivalent to her previous 80% power!

After the initial shock, the audience looked at Meyer with puzzled eyes. Meyer, unable to explain, walked to the edge of the ring and asked the young knight who had climbed up, "Are you alright?"

The dusty young knight gave a silly smile, stood up, and shook his head, "Miss Meyer, don't worry, I'm fine..." Perhaps sensing Meyer's apologetic look, the young knight paused and added, "Miss Meyer, I won't be discouraged by this! I will train hard and strive to withstand an hour under your hands in the future..."

This seemingly unambitious remark from the young knight immediately elicited friendly smiles from the nearby audience. Meyer, too, couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, "Whenever you feel ready, you can come find me!"

Instantly, everyone looked at the young knight with envy, even jealousy.

The young knight couldn't help but cheer, then asked with a mix of hope and fear, "Miss Meyer, you won't lie to me, will you?"

The young knight's doubt toward his idol infuriated Meyer's admirers, who glared at him, wishing to kill him with their eyes. If not for Meyer's presence, they might have already started cursing and extending their claws.

Meyer paid no mind to the young knight's unintended insult. She lightly took out a business card from her pocket and tossed it to him, saying, "This is my personal assistant's number. You can contact me through her anytime..."

"Thank you, thank you..." The young knight took the card, intending to chat more with Meyer, but he suddenly noticed the people around him transforming into wolves, their eyes glowing green with greed.

Feeling a surge of tension, the young knight quickly and carefully pocketed the card, then said, "Miss Meyer, I'll come to find you when I've improved..."

"Alright..." Watching the young knight hastily "escape" from the scene as if his pants were on fire, Meyer couldn't help but smile again.

Those "interested parties" who wanted to copy the phone number were stunned by Meyer's smile, feeling their trip was worthwhile just to see the goddess smile once more!
