“Devouring Magic.” With a furious roar from Guan Yue, a golden light surged forth, sweeping across Fiskaya's Azure Light, causing Fiskaya's magical power to begin to dissipate.
At that moment, Dean Michael Arlong stood up excitedly, realizing something was wrong. The strength of this child from Qilin Academy was terrifying enough to defeat Fiskaya, who was at the Peak of the Human Realm.
“Devouring Magic?” Fiskaya felt a sense of helplessness wash over her. This kid was simply her nemesis, completely overpowering her. She had only mastered the second level of the magic horse technique: Blood and Flesh Flying.
By this time, Ouyang Shaohua finally showed a relieved smile on her face. She knew that Guan Yue would undoubtedly win this battle! Naijia happily said, “Finally, we can have overtime. I think Guan Yue should go; no one can match her.”
Ouyang Shaohua nodded, feeling secretly proud. The two girls exchanged smiles. Guan Yue was truly impressive!
Since Magical Technique was a type of skill that was difficult to withdraw from in a timely manner, Fiskaya found herself trapped within it. Unexpectedly, Guan Yue also knew how to use Magical Technique, and she had delved deeper into it than Fiskaya.
She realized that this was her biggest miscalculation of the day.
Using Devouring Magic, Guan Yue forcefully knocked Fiskaya off the Arena.
Cheers erupted from the audience.
Overtime could finally begin.
Dean Kintian finally sat down with a smile on his face. He looked up at Michael Arlong, who also took a seat. The two exchanged glances before looking at the guests sitting nearby.
Dean Kintian asked first, “Who will you send for the final round?”
Michael Arlong countered, “What about your academy?”
After discussing with the Grand Historian Vice Dean, Dean Kintian replied to Michael Arlong, “We will let Guan Yue continue for overtime.”
Michael Arlong objected, “I disagree. We should select someone from the reserve contestants for overtime; that would be fair.” He was very aware of how formidable Guan Yue was.
Dean Kintian smiled and said, "There's nothing unfair about letting Guan Yue compete."
Michael Arlong replied seriously, "I simply cannot agree. Guan Yue cannot participate in the competition anymore."
The deadlock between them was only resolved by the noble families from the Southern Source Empire and the Vast Empire.
However, after some discussion, the Royal Family Members of both countries were very satisfied with the draw result and declared that there would be no extra time, ending the match in a tie!
Nantian and Michael Arlong had no choice but to accept this.
When the draw was announced, all one hundred thousand spectators erupted into warm applause, celebrating the outcome. They truly believed it was a well-matched competition, with both teams showing great courage and exerting their utmost strength. The draw was what everyone expected. Especially impressive were the performances of the two heroic women, He Bi and Georgina, who left a good impression on the audience. They did not want the hard-earned draw of these two ladies to be ruined by extra time.
Dean Kintian and Michael Arlong also happily shook hands in gratitude.
Everything seemed to end on a high note!
At that moment, someone suddenly stood up from the podium, their voice very childish, challenging Guan Yue directly!
"Guan Yue, do you dare to fight me?"
The True Dragon Academy had traveled a long way to the Southern Source Empire, intending to achieve a decisive victory over Qilin Academy. However, they unexpectedly ended up in a draw due to interference from both royal families. Dean Michael Arlong was very upset. He believed that the average strength of True Dragon Academy's students was significantly higher than that of Qilin Academy and that they should not have ended in a tie.
While he was fuming alone, he suddenly heard someone challenging Guan Yue, which made him even angrier: Who is this child who looks down on our True Dragon Academy disciples and chooses to challenge a disciple from Qilin Academy? This is clearly disrespecting us! He turned around in anger but found himself speechless.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw behind the representative of Dawson Empire a small girl who looked very young. She was extremely thin and had not yet fully developed, appearing to be only about eight or nine years old with an innocent face and two pigtails sticking up. However, her hair was bright red, and her eyes were also fiery red, making her stand out remarkably.
She was the invincible girl from Dawson Empire: Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. Last year she had visited Vast Empire like a whirlwind, defeating all students below a certain level, leaving a lasting impression on Dean Michael Arlong. He had heard that Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui had now traveled through seven countries without encountering any opponents below that level. Now she had arrived at Southern Source Empire; it seemed this place was her next target. Thus, Dean Michael Arlong could only remain silent.
Seeing Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui appear on the podium, everyone couldn't believe that such a small girl would challenge Guan Yue!
Vice Dean Tai Shi Xiao Xiao also looked at Hu Hui with confusion, unsure of her background. However, Dean Kintian stood up and shouted to the guests of the Dawson Empire, "Excuse me, is this young girl the famous Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui?"
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui? Du Diwei's eyes widened immediately: is she the Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, who defeated all challengers at True Dragon Academy when she was just six years old? So this is what she looks like.
The nearly one hundred thousand spectators turned their attention to the small red-haired girl on the podium. They had not heard of Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, but from Dean Kintian's expression, they could infer that this little Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui must be a formidable character, likely a strong rival to Guan Yue.
All the participants from True Dragon Academy fell silent at this moment because they were all defeated by Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. Even now, they still felt a lingering fear of her; they had no idea how much stronger she had become in the past year!
Guan Yue looked at Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, feeling a vague sense of affinity towards her, as if there was some connection between them. This was the first time he experienced such a feeling, making it particularly strange. Could this fiery-haired little girl really be challenging me?
At that moment, the dean waved to Guan Yue, signaling him to come up to the podium. Guan Yue quickly ran up to the stage. The dean pointed at Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui and said, "Her name is Hu Hui. By the age of nine, she has already defeated opponents from seven countries and has not encountered any rivals below her level. She is challenging you now; will you accept?"
The little girl stepped forward and politely addressed Guan Yue: "I am Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, a student from Dawson Empire's Changshan Academy Warrior Department. I have High-Quality cultivation and my training focuses on Willpower. I would like to seek your guidance."
Guan Yue felt a sense of goodwill towards her as she spoke confidently yet respectfully.
"My name is Guan Yue; I am ten years old and a Warrior with cultivation in my realm. I welcome your guidance," Guan Yue replied formally to Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. She smiled and said, "Master Guan, your brilliant performance earlier put a lot of pressure on me; however, I still want to challenge you. Only under pressure can I improve."
"Then please go ahead." Guan Yue took a step toward the Arena while Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui followed closely behind and asked, "Master Guan, what are your strengths? I noticed you have quite a few skills."
Guan Yue smiled; this girl seemed quite friendly and he found himself liking her as well. It was also the first time someone referred to him as 'senior brother,' which made him feel sweet inside.
"I specialize in Mental Attack."
"I also practice Mental Attack."
"Should I be cautious then?" Guan Yue found it strange that this little girl seemed so straightforward.
"Yes! So far, I haven't found any opponents. I'm currently searching for one."
"I hope I can have the honor of being your opponent." Guan Yue genuinely smiled; talking with Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui felt very easygoing.
In the Arena, the two stood firm without a host, so Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, nodded to Guan Yue and said, "Brother Master Guan, you go ahead. I will follow. Please don't hold back; I won't be polite either." Her tone carried a hint of boldness.
Guan Yue let out a long roar and stepped forward: "Rescue in the Wind." This was the first move of Li Zu Divine Fist, indicating that Guan Yue had made his move and showing his respect for her.
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, immediately raised her hand and attacked Guan Yue. However, her attack was surprisingly gentle, almost imperceptible in its Vital Energy Fluctuation.
Guan Yue understood the characteristics of Water Will and did not dare to be careless. He responded by employing Water's Will along with the second move of Li Zu Divine Fist: Cleaving Waves and Splitting Seas, launching an attack on Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui.
Sensing Guan Yue's use of Water's Will in his fist technique, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui's expression changed slightly, but she did not alter her method of attack. She continued to apply pressure on Guan Yue slowly, using a technique akin to boiling a frog in warm water. She gradually increased her strength while completely ignoring Guan Yue's counterattack.
Guan Yue found it strange; this move should be difficult for any Transcendent Practitioner to withstand. Why did Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui seem unaffected? Could it be that her Inner Strength was so abundant that it completely negated my attack?
Guan Yue continued to execute Cleaving Waves and Splitting Seas but infused it with Water and Metal Willpower to strike at Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui once more. Yet she remained unfazed, persistently directing Water Elemental Will at Guan Yue. However, he began to feel the force behind Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui's attacks; they were like waves gradually washing away sand, penetrating deeper and deeper, seeking truth from falsehood as they relentlessly targeted Guan Yue's core.
What kind of power is this?
Guan Yue had no time to ponder further as Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui's attacks were already taking effect, making it increasingly difficult for him to organize a counterattack. He quickly retreated one hundred meters. This was his first retreat in this Arena, causing a wave of gasps from the audience. Although they could not discern how the clash of their Willpower unfolded, Guan Yue's retreat clearly indicated that he had just suffered a setback.
One hundred thousand spectators silently wondered: "Is this Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui really that formidable? Is she about to defeat Guan Yue?"
"Raging Storm." Guan Yue unleashed the third form of Li Zu Divine Fist infused with Five Elements Will as he sought to test Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui's limits.
The punch imbued with five types of Willpower struck towards Fire Red Girl; in an instant, her body swayed but quickly stabilized. She continued to unleash Water Elemental Will against Guan Yue. He could deeply feel that her gentle force was like a tender embrace slowly sweeping toward his core, making it hard for him to resist.
