Ye Xi had just returned to her private room when she saw Tian Yue coming to greet her.
"Second Miss, you finished that match way too quickly."
"Just two punches, and you ended the match so cleanly and swiftly."
Tian Yue arrived in front of Ye Xi, her voice full of admiration.
"He underestimated his opponent."
"Besides, the difference in our strength is unequal. Although we are both three-ring Spirit Elders, my strength far exceeds his."
Ye Xi waved her hand dismissively and sat down in the private room.
"Even if he hadn't underestimated you, it would only have taken a few more moves for you to beat him."
After handing a drink to Ye Xi, Tian Yue turned her gaze toward the fighting arena, her eyes full of anticipation.
Just then, the door to the private room was knocked upon.
The door opened, and a staff member walked in, heading straight for Ye Xi.
"Young Miss, someone asked me to deliver this letter to you."
As the staff member spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Ye Xi.
Hearing this, Ye Xi took the envelope and examined it carefully.
"Yu Tianheng?"
"Why would he want to challenge me?"
Looking at the contents of the letter, a hint of confusion appeared in Ye Xi's eyes.
She had absolutely no connection with Yu Tianheng and had never even met him, so she was a bit puzzled as to why he would have a staff member deliver a challenge letter.
"Yu Tianheng?"
"Is he challenging Second Miss?"
Tian Yue looked at Ye Xi and asked.
"Yes, he wants to challenge me."
"He even stated his spirit power Rank: a level thirty-one Spirit Elder."
As Ye Xi spoke, she casually placed the letter on the table.
"Second Miss, how about I go instead?"
Tian Yue glanced briefly at the contents of the letter and said, sounding eager to try.
"You?"
"Yu Tianheng wants to challenge me; what would you be doing there?"
Ye Xi scanned the challenge letter, having no intention of accepting it at all.
The reason she didn't want to accept was simple: their strength was unequal, and she had no interest in fighting Yu Tianheng.
"Second Miss, I'll go fight in your place."
"Look, if Yu Tianheng can't even beat me, how could he have the nerve to challenge you?"
Tian Yue stood up, clenching her palms into fists, a look of eagerness in her eyes.
"Fine."
"Sister Tian Yue, since you want to fight, go ahead."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Xi nodded gently and agreed.
"Go back and tell him that I accept the challenge, but it won't be against me—it will be against Tian Yue."
"If Yu Tianheng can win, then I will fight him."
Ye Xi looked at the staff member, her eyes calm.
"Very well, Young Miss."
After acknowledging, the staff member walked out of the private room.
After the staff member left, Ye Xi turned her gaze back to Tian Yue beside her, her expression becoming serious.
"Sister Tian Yue, Yu Tianheng's spirit power Rank is about the same as yours; the strength between you two should be evenly matched."
"However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is known as the number one Beast Spirit under heaven, and it has a Dragon Transformation ability. You must be especially careful, or you will suffer a great loss."
"Winning or losing the Spirit fight doesn't matter; your own safety is what's most important."
Ye Xi placed her hand on Tian Yue's shoulder, instructing her sternly.
"Second Miss, I know."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is known as the number one Beast Spirit, but my Spirit is not weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"I will be careful of his Dragon Transformation ability."
After Tian Yue nodded solemnly, she stood up and walked toward the fighting arena.
Watching Tian Yue leave, Ye Xi cast her gaze through the window toward the fighting arena below.
On the fighting arena, Yu Tianheng, dressed in luxurious blue attire, was currently resting with his eyes closed, waiting quietly.
Tian Yue walked slowly onto the fighting arena, looking Yu Tianheng up and down.
"So you're the one who wants to challenge my Young Miss."
Tian Yue pointed at Yu Tianheng, a hint of gravity appearing in her eyes.
Hearing Tian Yue's words, Yu Tianheng's eyes gradually opened. He looked Tian Yue up and down and let out a light chuckle.
It was as if he didn't take Tian Yue seriously at all.
If it had been Ye Xi who came, Yu Tianheng would definitely have given her enough respect, because given Ye Xi's unusual spirit ring configuration and the strength she had displayed, his chances of winning in his heart were not high.
Even by Yu Tianheng's own estimation, even if he used his trump card, Dragon Transformation, the split between him and Ye Xi would be at most four-to-six.
But since Tian Yue had come, that was a different story.
From the way Tian Yue addressed Ye Xi, Yu Tianheng had identified Tian Yue as Ye Xi's follower.
He, Yu Tianheng, might not necessarily be able to beat Ye Xi, but beating Ye Xi's follower—wasn't that very simple?
Hearing the light chuckle from Yu Tianheng, Tian Yue's eyes gradually narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared in them.
From Yu Tianheng's chuckle, Tian Yue could tell that the Yu Tianheng before her didn't seem to think much of her.
"The match begins!"
The host looked at the people who were already prepared and immediately announced the start of the match.
As soon as the host's voice fell, Tian Yue released her Spirit: Golden Crocodile King. After the Spirit possessed her, two yellow and one purple—three spirit rings—appeared at Tian Yue's feet.
A dragon roar rang out across the fighting arena. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit appeared behind Yu Tianheng. After the Spirit possessed him, two yellow and one purple—three spirit rings—also appeared at Yu Tianheng's feet.
The figures of Tian Yue and Yu Tianheng moved almost simultaneously, rushing toward each other.
Tian Yue clenched her palms into fists and attacked Yu Tianheng in front of her. Yu Tianheng also raised his hands to meet Tian Yue's.
Their fists collided, and a tremendous force traveled into their arms, forcing both of them to retreat involuntarily.
However, Yu Tianheng retreated three steps, while Tian Yue only retreated two.
"I have the upper hand; Yu Tianheng's strength is still not equal to mine."
Having gained the upper hand, Tian Yue flicked her hand lightly and watched Yu Tianheng quietly.
Surprise appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes. He had actually fallen behind in the probing strike just now—this was something he hadn't expected.
"First Spirit Ability: Thunder Dragon Claw."
The first spirit ring at Yu Tianheng's feet flashed, and lightning light appeared in his hands as he attacked Tian Yue.
"First Spirit Ability: Golden Scale Sky-Rending Slash."
Watching the incoming Thunder Dragon Claw, the first spirit ring at Tian Yue's feet flashed rapidly.
Golden Scales appeared on Tian Yue's arms. She slashed her arm rapidly through the air, and a golden energy beam shot toward the charging Yu Tianheng.
The two attacks collided, and energy ripples centered on the point of impact spread continuously to the surroundings.
After the Spirit Abilities collided, the two were evenly matched.
Yu Tianheng looked at the Tian Yue before him, a hint of gravity appearing in his eyes.
