Makarov reacted at this moment and announced Lu Li as the winner.
"Oooooohhhh!!"
"So amazing!"
"The newcomer is too amazing! He actually defeated *that* Macao! That's too freakish!"
Many onlookers from the Fairy Tail guild were all excited. Obviously, they didn't expect Lu Li's strength to be so great, taking down Macao in one hit.
He didn't look like a newcomer who just learned magic at all.
Natsu and Gray were dumbfounded.
Lu Li actually defeated Macao. In their eyes, among their peers, only the two monsters, Mirajane and Erza, could defeat Macao.
Now, there was another one in the guild.
"Lu Li is so amazing!"
Lisanna clapped happily for Lu Li.
"Hmph! Macao is too useless. If it were me, I could defeat him easily."
Mirajane was dissatisfied that her prediction was wrong. At the same time, she subconsciously regarded Lu Li as a competitor for becoming the strongest Mage in Fairy Tail.
"Strong!"
Erza said with a serious expression. Whether it was Lu Li constantly releasing fireballs at the beginning, or later standing still and resisting Macao's magic attacks with super strong defense.
Or the speed he exploded with at the end, it was extremely fast.
Not only fast, but the control to stop precisely in front of Macao—without a doubt, he was definitely a good opponent.
Those who bet on Lu Li happily went to divide the winnings. They could leech drink money for another two days.
"Brat, how... how did you do that?"
Makarov was also very puzzled seeing Lu Li win. Lu Li created a magic similar to Dragon Slayer Magic, but Natsu, who had seriously practiced Dragon Slayer Magic for several years, wasn't necessarily Macao's opponent. How did he defeat Macao by imitating it?
"Nothing much? Maybe my Magic Power is relatively strong."
Lu Li played dumb. Magic Power and magic were one aspect, but Breathing Styles and Haki were the keys to Lu Li's easy victory.
Breathing Styles allowed Lu Li to explode with extraordinary physical fitness in an instant, and Haki provided Lu Li with powerful offense and defense.
Combined with Magic Power and magic, the power unleashed even shocked Lu Li himself.
Makarov nodded. Indeed, Lu Li's Magic Power was very strong, as evidenced by his ability to release magic with such terrifying power yesterday.
There were many people in this world born with powerful Magic Power. For example, his grandson Laxus was like this.
"Master, can I go do quests now?"
Lu Li changed the subject.
Makarov nodded. Since Lu Li had even defeated Macao, he naturally wouldn't stop Lu Li from doing quests.
"Yay! Great!"
Lu Li jumped up happily. He had always yearned for the adventurous life of Fairy Tail, and now that he could experience it personally, he was naturally very happy.
After returning to the guild, those who won rejoiced, eating and drinking heartily.
Macao seemed a bit down, but the others didn't mock him. After all, everyone knew Macao's strength.
They all watched the battle with Lu Li; it was just that Lu Li, that monster newcomer, was too freakish.
Lu Li looked at the request board and reached out to grab the 'Hunt the Ferocious Monster Vulcan' quest.
*Smack!*
Just as Lu Li's hand touched the request, it was slapped away by Makarov's extended hand.
"That quest won't do. I'll give you this one."
Makarov tore a quest off the request board and handed it to Lu Li.
"Quest Request: Protect Client."
"Quest Description: The client needs a bodyguard. Specific details will be personally informed by the client upon meeting."
"Quest Reward: 50,000 Jewels per day."
The quest description was almost as good as none, but the reward was quite good. 50,000 Jewels was equivalent to 3,000 RMB.
3,000 a day, the reward was quite generous.
In his previous life, let alone 3,000 a day, his monthly take-home salary wasn't even 3,000.
"I'll take this quest."
Lu Li was satisfied with this quest.
"Erza!"
Makarov called out to Erza.
Erza walked over and asked: "Master, what's the matter?"
"Take Lu Li to execute this quest request."
"Yes, Master."
Erza agreed readily.
Lu Li looked at Makarov questioningly.
Makarov also saw Lu Li's confusion and explained: "Although your strength is sufficient, your experience is lacking. You need someone to lead you. When you have enough experience later, you can execute quests alone. This has always been a tradition of Fairy Tail. Don't look down on Erza just because she's a girl your age; Erza's strength is very strong."
Erza generously extended her hand and said: "Hello, Lu Li. From now on, during the quest, we are teammates."
Lu Li reached out and shook hands with Erza: "Sorry for the trouble, Erza."
"No trouble. We are all companions, helping each other is what we should do."
Erza said with a smile.
Looking at Erza like this, Lu Li couldn't help but be moved. If asked who his favorite female character in the *Fairy Tail* anime was, Erza would undoubtedly rank first.
As for why she was first and not the only one? As a man, isn't it normal to have thoughts about all beautiful women?
Since he transmigrated to the world of *Fairy Tail*, he naturally had thoughts about Erza.
But the current Erza was only a thirteen-year-old girl. Was he really so hungry that he wouldn't even spare a young girl?
Hmm, "raising a wife" actually sounds pretty good too.
"Tomorrow morning at nine, let's meet at the guild entrance."
"Okay."
