After saying that, Freya closed her eyes and began to chant a verse in Elvish.
The chanting lasted only a minute, and the ceremony was completed in a short time.
The magic circle shone brighter and brighter, eventually enveloping everyone in a beam of light. Roya felt a strong white light obscuring his vision, and a strange sensation as if he were floating in water.
Compared to the system's teleportation, this teleportation array is simply too good.
When Roya opened his eyes again, he saw a completely different scene.
Although the scenery has changed drastically, the surrounding environment remains a forest with trees as its main structure.
However, compared to the Elf Forest, the trees here are much larger.
The air was filled with faintly glowing sprites, far more numerous than in the Elf Forest.
The moment Roya appeared, the elves, as if they had discovered some rare treasure, swarmed towards Roya's location.
Fireflies surrounded Roya, their faint glow flickering with his movements.
While most elf users would attract the attention of other elves to some extent, Roya's exaggerated behavior still managed to draw attention from others.
Luo Ya raised an eyebrow slightly; such attention was not what he wanted to see.
Roya transmitted his thoughts to these low-level elves, attempting to drive them away.
The effect wasn't very good; low-level elves don't have obvious thinking, they just act on their instincts.
They felt safe and secure with Roya, so they wanted to stay a little longer, that's all.
Roya frowned, his scorching divine power driving the little creatures away.
The elf looked at Roya with lingering affection, turning back again and again, until finally no more fluorescent light clung to Roya.
Roya's actions naturally caught the attention of Claire and Linslett. Claire and Linslett didn't say anything, after all, Claire had seen such a scene before and wasn't very surprised.
Linslet was curious, but now was not the time to gossip about such things.
Linslet suppressed her doubts, and with a flash of white light, Freya appeared, standing between the two teams and beginning to announce the rules.
"The match will begin in half an hour. Before that, all members of both teams must move in the opposite direction of the other team for ten minutes. After that, you are free to move around until half an hour has passed before the match can begin. Do you understand?"
Team competitions refer to more than just a free-for-all between two sides.
No one knows what format the team competition will take, since the official details of the Elf Sword Dance Festival have not yet been announced.
Therefore, the academy will hold every possible competition format once.
What we're doing now is mimicking a team competition where players are randomly teleported to different locations and have to engage in prolonged battles.
As Freya finished speaking, the two groups headed towards the distance of the forest.
After a ten-minute wait, the battle began.
Three minutes later, Luo Ya found his target, crouched discreetly on the treetop, and smiled as he watched the girls passing by below.
The two people beside him couldn't help but shiver when they saw Luo Ya's radiant smile.
Looking down at the five people who were on high alert.
The girls were very alert. One girl with a long spear stood in front, the other three stood in the middle, and the last one was watching for any movement behind them.
The map is very large, so they shouldn't be able to find them at this point. If it were a typical team, they would be most relaxed at this time.
After all, no one could have imagined that less than five minutes later, someone would be lying in ambush ahead of them.
Even so, they remained vigilant and maintained their basic formation well, indicating that the opposing team was of decent quality.
Unfortunately, they encountered Roya.
"Got you."
Roya leaped down from the treetop, grabbed the last girl, and without giving her any chance to react, swiftly and decisively threw her to the ground.
The last girl cried out in pain as an irresistible force struck, subduing her almost instantly.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; no one had time to react.
The teammates next to him realized what was happening and wanted to provide support.
But at this moment, Roya began to emanate terrifying divine power. The scorching divine power suddenly erupted from Roya, and the scorching heat wave swept unrestrainedly to the surrounding area.
The mere burst of divine power did not directly cause any visible injuries to the girls, but it caused them to lose their composure.
If there were a descriptive term, these girls would definitely have a buff called "Intimidation" above their heads.
Without the slightest hesitation, Roya punched a child.
In less than five seconds, all five girls were lying sprawled on the ground, emitting groans of pain.
The battle was easy, which was exactly what Roya had expected.
After all, in the entire academy, apart from that old geezer, there are really very few people who can fight against Luo Ya.
Not to mention their opponents, even Claire and Linsley hadn't fully reacted yet.
Seeing Roya absorb Kamui, Claire and Linslet exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
"So strong, he's so strong..." Claire murmured involuntarily.
"Is this guy a monster?" Linslet murmured.
These five people may not be very strong, but they are definitely not weak either.
All five are spirit users capable of wielding elven magical armor, and elven magical armor is not something anyone can use. In the entire Aresia Elf Academy, probably less than half of the spirit users can use elven magical armor.
Even so, when facing Roya, he was instantly killed without even being able to use his elven magic armor.
More importantly, Roya never actually summoned the legendary Demon-Slaying Holy Sword.
In other words, Roya completely overwhelmed the five people with his own strength.
After the initial shock, Lindsay excitedly patted Claire on the shoulder and said, "Could it be... that we've joined the team of someone truly extraordinary?"
Claire recovered from her shock, coughed lightly, crossed her arms haughtily, and said to Linslet, "What else is there to say? Don't forget who invited you to this team. You'd better thank me properly."
Roya rolled his eyes at Claire, somewhat speechless.
It's not like you're that great, so what's with that arrogant look on your face?
Claire didn't notice Roya's subtle movements and continued talking to Linslet.
"If that's the case, we should be able to win the Sword Dance Festival, right?" Linslet, unusually, ignored Claire's words and turned her questioning gaze to Claire.
Claire recalled the boy's dazzling sword dance, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
Claire said, "Roya's sword dance is comparable to that of Len Ashbell. I imagine that even obtaining the sword dance would be quite easy for him."
After saying that, Claire and Linslet's breathing became rapid.
Claire was slow on the uptake, and it took her until now to realize what this meant.
Both Claire and Linsley have every reason to win the Elf Sword Dance Festival.
With Roya around, victory no longer seemed so unattainable, which excited the two of them.
At the same time, Freya, dressed in a white coat, emerged from the depths of the forest. She glanced at the students lying on the ground, then looked up at Roya.
Freya said to Roya with some emotion, "Your strength seems to be much greater than I imagined."
He defeated five elf warriors capable of wielding elven magic armor with such ease. If he were to use the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, Roya's strength could be further enhanced.
Claire and Lindsay nodded in agreement.
Claire said, "I feel like I didn't do anything before the battle ended."
And that is indeed the case.
Freya glanced at the three of them, her tone turning cold as she said, "Although you have won, you have not achieved your true objective this time."
Claire and Linslet were taken aback by what they heard. Freya continued, "A battle like this, where Ronoa completely overwhelms the opponent, cannot cultivate team spirit and teamwork at all."
Claire and Lindsay fell silent.
Luo Ya really wanted to say that he could actually manage on his own.
Seemingly knowing what Roya was about to say, Freya glared at him, cutting off his words: "I know you are very strong, but one person's strength is ultimately limited. You need to hone your teamwork. Winning the Spirit Sword Dance Festival is not something you can achieve alone."
Chapter 210 I feel like I've come back to life.
Roya ignored Freya's words; he knew his own situation best.
Roya's formidable strength instilled in him a strong sense of self-confidence.
If necessary, Roya will demonstrate his ability to take on five opponents at once.
Seeing Roya's nonchalant expression, Freya warned, "Kid, I know you're strong, but the Elf Sword Dance Festival isn't as simple as the academy's team competition. All the elf warriors who make it to that stage are the best from their respective countries. Even if you can continue to crush them, crush one or two teams, crush two or three teams, or even crush a dozen or so teams, do you have the ability to crush all the teams?"
Luo Ya didn't speak, but his expression remained unchanged.
Looking at Roya's expression, Freya understood everything.
Frustrated, Freya sighed, too lazy to waste words with Roya, and said directly to the group, "Forget it, let's go."
Claire and Linslet exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
Luo Ya stood at the teleportation array and said to the two people behind him, "Let's go."
