The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

As Lisiter had said, it was indeed a duel of honor.

Whoever failed and wet themselves would lose their honor.

Ai Xueli admitted defeat.

If she had conceded even a second later, she might have utterly wet herself amidst the beautiful whistling of the "Tide Summoning Song".

As a favored child of the heavens, she excelled in every field, and her naturally proud nature never allowed her to admire anyone, let alone admit defeat or concede.

But today, Ai Xueli had been thoroughly defeated.

In this duel of honor, she had lost to this man named Lisiter, both physically and in will.

"I concede..." As soon as she uttered these words, it was as if she denied the pride she had always cherished.

The Scales of Order confirmed the results of the test, and the Bionic Alchemy Array ceased its operation, causing Ai Xueli's mimicry to fade away as well.

Her state reverted to that before the signing of the treaty, all injuries and pains disappeared quickly, and that overwhelming, tide-like urge to urinate also receded swiftly like the tide.

But the scars on her soul would probably take a lifetime to heal.

Yet there was still a trace of defiance in her heart.

Her voice still choked with emotion, she struggled to lift her head and, biting her lip, stared at Lisiter, "I don't understand how you were able to hold on..."

Why those spells had no effect on him whatsoever!

Just how strong must one's willpower be!

Or was it that his micro-control over magic far exceeded her own?

Ai Xueli could never figure it out.

Lisiter calmly pushed his glasses up, his expression still cool and indifferent, every move still elegant and graceful, the pure daylight casting on his side face, reflecting a gentlemanly demeanor, "Because of 'realization'."

"Just as Brother Su said, the 'realization' to establish a great undertaking."

?

What does that mean?

Ai Xueli was still somewhat baffled.

"Ms. Aixueli, your persistence is not inferior to mine, but what you lacked was the spirit of realization!"

Lisiter's voice became even more impassioned and holy, "What you're missing is the realization to let go of everything, the courage to wet yourself in public!"

"It is this great spirit of realization that created nobility, the very soul of great humanity."

"With chains upon you as you entered the field, you could never defeat me, who broke free from those chains!"

Nobility isn't created by wetting oneself in public!

What does it mean to break free from chains?

Ai Xueli's eyes filled with a grayish despair as she looked at Lisiter. Her lips quivered, her tone frantic and helpless, "So you're saying, from the start, you just wet yourself?"

"Precisely so," Lisiter answered with a profound look, "From the moment I signed the authorization, I had already wet my pants—this is my realization, the noble realization to let go of everything."

...

Ai Xueli collapsed.

No wonder all her spells had no effect; it turned out this guy had already wet himself!

"Impossible... Aren't you wearing white pants on purpose?" Ai Xueli wanted to die with her eyes closed, "If you had wet yourself earlier, it would surely be obvious... I should have noticed."

"You are the worst examiner I've had the misfortune of dealing with." Lisiter sighed with a touch of helplessness, "The white pants were merely a disguise, even though you were wearing it, you failed to notice—the hidden intricacies within."

"A disguise?"

What intricacies could there possibly be inside?

"Brother Su once said, for a saint, the key equipment is essential for victory."

There's nothing wrong with that sentence; choosing different magic equipment with various enhancement effects can yield different outcomes; against a Cultist, one would choose Holy Light equipment, and against a Priest, one could opt for magic equipment that disrupts healing...

But against the urge to urinate, what kind of equipment could Lisiter possibly have?

"...What equipment did he recommend to you?"

"Are you sure you want to see it?" Lisiter asked again.

"..." After hesitating for a moment, Ai Xueli bit her lip and nodded her head, she had to understand her demise.

But the next moment, she deeply regretted her decision.

"Then let me enlighten you: This is a high-rank piece of equipment custom made overnight by the top Alchemy Tailor Shop 'Feiya,' designed with Brother Su's participation, made from the feathers of a Second Order Magic Beast Water Magic Duck, and pine fibers as the paper base..."

Up to this point in the introduction, it seemed quite normal.

"With superior elasticity, ultra-thick absorbency, and an ultra-thin touch... It is precisely because of its baby-skin-like softness that you failed to detect its presence."

?

What the hell... Ms. Aixueli was flabbergasted.

Before she could even react, her pupils quivered violently.

"Brother Su deemed this equipment as 'The Infant's Bliss',"

Lister elegantly undid the zipper of his pants and slowly pulled it down. With a dazzling burst of white light,

unlike Arthur, what hung from Lister's crotch wasn't golden silk underwear but rather that pure white, super absorbent sacred relic, soft and light for comfort. This was a key piece of gear for the top tier water school, 'Nezha's Riotous Ocean Stream'—

He,

'Goddess's Moonlight', Lister Muen,

he produced a 'diaper'!

Ms. Aixueli's worldview seemed to collapse. She asked in disbelief, "So, when you used 'Water Element Accumulation', you were actually gathering urine from it?"

"That is indeed what this humble one did," Lister replied calmly and proudly.

Ms. Aixueli completely lost. Seeing 'The Infant's Bliss', she knew that from the moment she stepped onto the battlefield, she was utterly defeated.

Controlled from the beginning to the end.

From the start, Ms. Aixueli never stood a chance of victory.

An Su Moningsta, with such a brain, couldn't you have done something more righteous?

[Exam Over]

The metallic voice of the Scales of Order echoed in the hall; many candidates hadn't come to their senses yet.

These prospective saints were still pondering the profound magic Lister had used.

Furthermore, ten minutes hadn't even passed for the exam; how had it ended so quickly?

Not one person didn't have this question in their hearts.

[Examiner Abstains]

[Examiner Insisted on Nine Minutes]

[Candidate Lister Muen, Exam Number 60, Exam Score: One Hundred Percent]

[Next Candidate, please prepare, Exam Number 61, An Su Moningsta]

The unfluctuating voice of the Scales of Order sounded again, leaving the candidates baffled once more.

What does the examiner abstaining mean?

Today was a day of eye-opening experiences for them. For years there had been saint exams, but there were always only candidates abstaining; an examiner's abstention was unheard of.

Could an examiner even abstain?

Moreover, why did Lister suddenly start undressing below the stage? What did he show to Ms. Aixueli that made Priestess Ai Xueli's expression so astonishingly shocked,

as if her worldview had just crumbled?

Could this also be part of a faceoff between magic masters?

Not only were they dumbfounded, but the priests in the third-floor monitoring room were silent as well.

A silence never before experienced.

Priest Paxi, massaging his forehead, was all covered in metaphorical dark lines.

His heart had already given up after seeing Arthur's move.

But just when his heart had died, after witnessing Lister's method, it felt like it was fiercely necromanced...

"This isn't from our Church either," one of the priests from the Radiant Holy See broke the silence once again, "this prospective saint isn't one of ours either."

You've already said that line before.

He's from your place.

The priests from the other two Churches were staring at them.

"The flow of the water, the ripples on the surface, the gathering of water elements, the blessing of sensation," a priest from the Alchemical Church was perusing their exam records, his mouth twitching slightly as he exclaimed, "It's a marvel someone could design such..."

He paused to choose his words, "a uniquely imaginative magical combination."

"...who is next to perform?"

"An Su Moningsta."

"...." Priest Paxi exchanged a glance with the other priests, nodding in silent agreement as if telepathically communicating.

"Let's continue changing the rules."
