Chloe couldn't hold back his laughter.

Of course, Rephya is not cotton.

It's just that when facing non-principle issues, she tends to be more tolerant.

After all, Xiaolu is the kind of girl who would carefully evaluate the situation before deciding to fight, even knowing he was the Demon King.

If it were Chloe holding the Hero System, he wouldn't leave the Demon King any chance.

Rephya is a traditional hero.

Brave but not inflexible, forging ahead without resorting to petty tricks.

Chloe is different.

If he were a hero, he would definitely be more cunning than the Demon King.

However, has Rephya already started approaching the Hero's Maze?

The Hero's Maze is located on the ruins of the imperial capital in one of the fallen Elf Three Kingdoms, the Mysterious Forest.

The first chapter of the main story primarily tells the tale of the Heroic Maiden growing discreetly at Ethereal Emblem University.

The overall tone is quite joyful, and it's where Rephya meets many future companions.

In the second chapter of the main story, Rephya, who has begun to develop, luckily becomes a competitor in the Martial God Festival as the last-place contestant.

The event takes place three months later.

Participants in the Martial God Festival will gather and head to Tangke Grand Canyon for a chaotic battle.

There, Rephya will encounter the King of the Living Dead awakened by the Red Moon Fragment.

It will be her first direct contact with the Red Moon Fragment.

Nearby Tangke Grand Canyon, Rephya stumbled upon an isolated Elf Village.

In the Elf Village, she learned secrets about fairies and elves and heard about the great secret treasure in the Jade Forest.

Within the great secret treasure, she heard of the legend of the Golden Maze.

It is said that inside the Golden Maze, there are weapons left by heroes.

Adventurers who go there each attempt to pull out the Chosen Sword.

It is said that whoever succeeds in pulling out the Chosen Sword is the hero of the new generation.

Rephya naturally...

Did not pull out the Chosen Sword.

But it was indeed during that adventure that Rephya truly began to reveal her hero potential.

Chloe just couldn't understand why Abigail would mention the Hero's Maze and suggest Rephya take a look?

Regardless, the simulation continues.

[The gentle spring breeze stirs the fallen leaves, and you silently observe Abigail]

[No one knows how insidious the Evil God is better than you, especially the Desire Mother Tree, which is utterly unscrupulous... and slimy]

[Abigail has become the vessel for the Desire Mother Tree's descent, it's hard to say what impact it will have]

[One day, you heard that the favored student from the first-year healing program seemed to be sick and took a long leave. That's when you knew, she was pregnant]

[Research by the Extreme Association is proceeding orderly, your power continues to soar, giving you a faint sense of returning to your prime. On this day, the Demon King found you]

The scene unfolds.

Location: Amber Hall, Rephya's dorm room

Knock, knock, knock.

With a series of knocks on the door.

Rephya, who was about to rest, stretched lazily.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

Chloe's voice came from outside the door.

Only then did Rephya realize, at this time, only Chloe would come looking for her at Amber Hall.

"Ah, senior, just a moment."

Xiaolu, already in pajamas, hurriedly changed into proper clothes.

When she opened the door, she saw Chloe in a white lab coat.

He was pinching his brow, looking somewhat distressed.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

Chloe glanced at Rephya and said:

"Let's talk outside."

It feels strange to chat with Rephya in the girl's dorm room.

What if an awkward scene occurs?

Like a pair of panties waving in the wind.

The two started talking in the hallway.

Chloe said, "The matters regarding the Martial God Festival have been settled. Be prepared and do your best to showcase the strength of our Extreme Association."

Rephya hesitated and said:

"Senior, why aren't you going? If you went, it would be even more impressive."

Chloe shook his head and said:

"Your goal in going is to announce to the various factions that the technical achievements of the Extreme Association have completed their preliminary transformation.

We can then attract a batch of new clients to expand the association's resources.

But if I went, even with the most ideal technology, perfectly replicating the Earth Divine Rune with Rune Runes, they would only imitate me but not be able to match me.

Because they ultimately cannot awaken the Titan Race's talent.

Moreover, the power currently transformed by technology is far inferior to mine."

Rephya nodded.

She understood what Chloe meant.

A product that cannot leave the laboratory, no matter how effective, has limited influence.

But the new path of the Titan Path that can be popularized, even if the effect is much weaker, the benefits it brings are beyond imagination.

Chloe wants to advertise at the Martial God Festival.

[The Martial God Festival is held to celebrate the Martial God ending the continental calamity, different from festivals like the Lantern Festival and the Harvest Festival, which are organized by the corresponding deity's church]

[Because the Martial God is not a deity, or rather, the Martial God does not want to be called a god]

[Most people prefer to call the Martial God the King of Redemption; there were once fervent die-hard fans of the Martial God hoping to elevate him to deity status, and various churches were willing to accept this new deity]

[But the church allows it, the King of Redemption does not]

[Therefore, the Martial God Festival initially was merely a competition organized by enthusiasts]

[However, after developing over the years, it has become a stage for top extraordinary colleges and powers across the continent to showcase their yearly achievements]

[It counts as a continent-level advertising spot — provided you have the ability to showcase your achievements]

[But this time, a husky suddenly mixed into the wolf pack]

[An extraordinary association formed by university students, actually attempting to make a name for themselves at the Martial God Festival]

[The Extreme Association placed this heavy responsibility on you, you choose:]

[To brave all dangers, senior!]

[You are fired up]

[Unknowingly, the preparation ceremony for the Martial God Festival unfolded, you discover that the senior became the coach of the Ethereal Emblem team]

[He silently blended into the mentor group]

[You spent a peaceful and joyful time until the official start of the Martial God Festival]

[The first day of the competition, the selection rounds]

[You saw the Demon King accompanying Abigail, who already had a visible baby bump, watching the competition]

[The second day of the competition, elimination rounds]

[You saw the Demon King giving a drink to Fratiss, who finished the competition before you, perhaps it's because of the distance, you always felt that the drink was already opened]

[You pouted, about to ask why you didn't get any, when he handed you a chilled blueberry mojito]

[The fourth day of the competition, the semifinals]

[Senior Sister Teresa representing the Night Thorn Association sat with Master Heisha around Chloe, you heard them bickering as you left the stage]

[The fifth day of the competition, semifinals]

[You saw Aisha chatting happily with the Demon King, her smile seemed even sweeter than the milk tea she was holding]

[Yet you lost this match, although you recovered part of your talent, you had been dormant for too long]

[Even with the Demon King's help, you were still far from those monsters]

[Especially that Swordswoman Princess from the Locke Empire, you never felt the defense of the Holy Bone so weak]

[That day you cried in the Demon King's arms for a long time, repeatedly apologizing]

[The sixth day of the competition, finals]

[The Demon King holding Senior Sister Fufu's hand, her red hair wasn't as bright as her smile]

[You were lost in thought, somehow, you suddenly felt a little envious]

[Suddenly you wanted to fall in love]

[Feeling somewhat disoriented, you choose:]

[Choose to go out for a walk]

Location: Outside Tangke Grand Canyon

This place has beauty comparable to the Jade Forest.

The fighting location for the Martial God Festival changes every year.

This year it's set at Tangke Grand Canyon, thanks to the vigorous invitation from the dwarves of Furnace Castle.

Rephya felt a bit restless.

That semifinal, she lost too badly.

She knew how many days and nights Chloe had put into preparing for this competition with the mentors.

But failing to achieve ideal results, she was really disappointed.

Rephya didn't like letting down her partners' expectations.

Although in the semifinals, she had relied on astonishing willpower to exhaust the opponent, showing signs of decline.

But in that semifinal, it truly broke her defense.

The weapon her senior gave her was damaged, and she had taken such meticulous care of it.

How should she explain this to him?

"Huh, Rephya, you didn't go watch the survival match?"

Chloe's voice rang out, Rephya's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to see the senior standing behind her.

She instinctively lowered her head.

"Senior, I let you down."

In the next moment, Chloe's warm big hand was gently placed on her head.

"What are you saying, Xiaolu? In your current situation, it was impossible to reach the finals."

Rephya was taken aback, then dazedly said:

"Is that so?"

"You're just a freshman, didn't you notice that for the SOLO matches under 25, it's mostly juniors and seniors participating?"

"But, but senior said he hoped I would take first place."

Rephya said, feeling wronged.

If not for the senior's expectations, she might not have pushed herself so hard.

Chloe brushed aside the girl's bangs, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Because the Rephya I know is a girl who charges forward relentlessly.

Who feels regret but never dwells on it.

Who strives but never demands.

Who can bow her head but knows her limits.

Who compromises but stands by her principles.

The Rephya that gives it her all is incredibly captivating."

Chloe understood, the competitions she participated in were essentially SOLO contests.

Not that SOLO contests had less impact.

But within the SOLO contests, her age division had less impact.

The Martial God Festival, naturally, isn't just about student battles.

The most popular SOLO contests are always those for ages 25-50 and 50-100.

In the 25-50 age group, many are potential key figures who have delved deeply into maze explorations.

They are young and energetic, possessing sophisticated skills and developed systems that students lack, making their matches spectacular.

Those aged 50-100 are mostly the backbone of various forces.

Average Sequence level is around Sequence Seven to Sequence Six, and occasionally you might even see a Legend under 100 years old.

These two age divisions have broadcasting rates that surpass other tiers.

Compared to them, students under 25 appear far too immature.

The viewership between these groups isn't even comparable.

How big is the difference between NBA and CBA viewership?

And the gap in viewership between CBA and CUBAL (College Basketball League)?

Rephya reaching this point has already exhausted her strength.
