The most coveted thing about Sonia is not her beauty, not her self-created Miracle, and not even her herself!

It is her hidden secret!

The secret that enabled her to achieve the Holy Domain of swordsmanship in less than half a year from scratch!

You must know that even the Lake Light Angel, the King of Time, and the Ghost Prophet, these demigods, even if they take the Path of Origin, without deliberately enhancing their faction realm, they still need two years to advance from Silver Mage to Holy Sanctuary Mage.

The absurd speed of the red-haired Swordswoman's advancement is something even the Ghost Prophet as The Reborn One cannot compare!

Even if Sonia has no bottleneck and can advance as soon as her Void Wings are complete, the speed at which her Void Wings condense is also several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary mages!

The Silver Void Wings might be excusable with the pretext of the Vortex, but there is no shortcut for the Golden Illusion Wings. It requires a solid footing over thousands of miles, yet she completes what others take two years to do in just one or two months!

This is a secret that could elevate a family or even an entire nation. Who wouldn't be envious? Who wouldn't want it?

The reason why the Kingdom of Stars hasn't demanded Sonia's secret is that all officials from top to bottom are bound by the Stars Blessing, unable to make any unlawful decisions that intentionally harm the interests of citizens. Even if they wanted to pressure the village girl with grand schemes, the Constitution tells them that the grand scheme is precisely these little citizens.

However, the Kingdom of Stars is indeed not in a hurry, as accepting the Stars Blessing is something Sonia will do eventually. If there is really a secret, it will certainly be kept within the cauldron of the Kingdom of Stars.

But it's different for others. If Sonia's secret is limited, then whoever gets it first will benefit their family!

Like Adelle and Lois, they were previously pressured by their families, both openly and secretly, to find a way to steal the Hidden Hand Sword Saint's secret. But as their relationship with Sonia grew more intimate, and Lois also became a mage, the family pressure gradually lessened—after all, maintaining a good relationship with a promising Holy Sanctuary Mage isn't bad either.

Lois had long predicted that someone would covet Sonia's relics. But unexpectedly, even without confirmation of her death, someone was already eager to break in!

However, thinking it over, she understood—if the death was confirmed, there wouldn't even be a chance left for them to snatch the relics?

Bam!

The male deputy stormed in with a tiger-like step and smashed a chair to pieces with a single punch! As for the Rapid Stream under his feet, it almost had no effect on him!

Fist Claw Mage!

Lois and Ingrid's pupils abruptly contracted, in such a cramped environment as a dormitory, the advantage of a Fist Claw Mage reaches an immense level! Ingrid's swordsmanship couldn't unfold, and Lois's Water Magic required casting time, while his Fist Claw techniques could be unleashed at will!

He clearly knew this too, stepping stably into the room, "It's already over—"

The male deputy's voice was suddenly stuck because he saw that the weakest and seemingly powerless Adelle in this dormitory was holding a loudspeaker—something she had taken while helping at a masquerade ball a few days ago.

"Help! There are thieves beating people in the girls' dormitory!"

Adelle's voice penetrated the entire dormitory building: "These thieves pretended to be the administration and pried open our door, tried to rob us when their theft failed, and attacked female students! Help, there's a thief, come and help, there's extra credit for bravery!"

In such a situation, instead of panicking, the male deputy calmed down and said to the people behind him, "Hurry up, Ovella, you take care of them with me."

The female deputy was resentful: "Isn't one of you enough?! Now what? Everyone knows! It's all your fault, if you hadn't chosen this time it wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"I can defeat them, but I can't stop them from destroying property," the male deputy said. "No point complaining now, since it's already messed up, at least complete the backup task."

Lois chuckled, "Funny how you can still be so civil, if it were me, I'd have slapped this menopausal woman away long ago."

The female deputy immediately shifted her gaze to Lois. In fact, Lois's words were somewhat biased; although the female deputy was no longer young, she still appeared beautiful. In her youth, she could likely have competed with Lois for the title of Sword Flower, but resentful anger had made her features deep and intimidating, with each blackhead seeming to exude malice.

Swoosh! The female deputy suddenly pointed at Adelle's water cup, causing it to shatter and shoot a stream of black water towards Lois—she turned out to be a Water Mage too!

The black water was incredibly fast, likely mixed with Dark Magic Technique Spirit! Moreover, what was especially sinister was that the black water targeted Lois's face, and though not fatal, it would leave terrifying scars!

An ordinary Silver Mage would be unable to dodge such a Miracle even if they noticed it, yet Lois showed no fear! A couple of traces of water emerged beneath her feet, and without exertion, her body slid along the water flow, astonishingly fast!

Wave Trace Technique Spirit!

This was the reward Lois received from the Lake Light Inheritance!

And Lois didn't just slide aimlessly; she slid directly to Sonia's desk and shot Rapid Stream at the four figures in black, forcing them into defense. Though the female deputy wanted to counter, she had to consider Sonia's relics behind her!

However, by this time, Ingrid had already drawn a wooden sword, with Sword Shadow Bi Luo slashing towards the female deputy!

Clang!

The male deputy caught Ingrid's wooden sword with his fist. At some point, he had put on chain gloves, and when struck by the wooden sword, the entire glove was clattering, yet he remained unharmed!

Ingrid's eyes chilled, her wooden sword transformed into over a dozen afterimages slashing at the male deputy! The male deputy seemed suppressed, unable to counterattack, only able to stay on defense, and the room echoed with countless rumbling lightning sounds!

Seconds later, they both withdrew, and the male deputy looked at his gloves, which had been shattered, showing a strange expression: "To achieve this level with just a few basic Technique Spirits... truly talented."

"For a One-winged Mage, you've done quite well."

"However."

Bang.

Ingrid was steaming all over, her newly dried body drenched again in sweat, and her hands holding the sword suddenly loosened, letting the wooden sword shatter into several pieces. She looked at her cracked tiger's mouth, beads of sweat rolling from her forehead to her eyes, her expression unchanged except for the slightly trembling lips enduring severe pain.

"The game's over," he stated.

The noisy Adelle was seized by the female deputy, covering the side of her face that had swollen, tears welling in her eyes, yet held back from falling, her loudspeaker also smashed.

Lois remained guarding the desk, but when she saw more figures in black blocking the hallway outside, preventing other students from checking the situation, she knew there was no hope left.

"I demand to inform Professor Trozan," she said.

The female deputy immediately responded: she touched Adelle's face, clearly not a kind gesture.

"We're just pawns," the male deputy said calmly. "We surely fear the Hidden Hand Sword Saint, but those backing us don't."

"Do you fear the Hidden Hand Sword Saint?"

As soon as the voice sounded, the male deputy instantly launched a Miracle Fierce Fist, while the female deputy subconsciously dragged Adelle forward—

But, it was useless!

They lost control of their bodies, their throats clasped tightly by iron hands, and within moments they were forced to the ground, dragged like rags, and slammed against the balcony!

Boom!

Lois slumped weakly to the floor, asking with feeble strength, "What took you so long to return?"

"I took a nap, had a bath, cut my hair, changed into a new outfit."

Sonia held these two by their throats, forcibly pressing their heads into the tiles of the balcony, turning back with a smile: "How could I dare return to the dormitory without dressing up beautifully?"
