Meanwhile, inside the arena, Ashley fixed the reigning champion with an icy stare. The moment she stepped into the fighting area, she stopped suppressing her presence. A heavy, oppressive aura rolled off her like an invisible storm, pressing down on everyone nearby. Even the emcee, who had witnessed countless brutal matches, felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly raised his microphone.
"Now that our challenger has arrived, let's begin the fight!"
The announcement was immediately met with laughter and jeers from the crowd. Most of the spectators didn't even consider betting on Ashley. In their eyes, the outcome was already decided. The reigning champion had dominated every challenger who had stepped into the arena before him, and they saw no reason why tonight would be any different.
