In the center of the arena, only Sera and Zhuge Bai remained.
Sera smiled as she looked at Zhuge Bai. It was said that Zhuge Bai of the Zhuge Family was nearly as strong as Zhuge Qing. Zhuge Bai watched Sera with a wary expression.
"How do you know all this? I never go out!"
Sera shook her head. "Why bother with that? Let’s just fight."
Zhuge Bai fell silent, assuming a stance for Ba Ji Quan. The martial arts of the Zhuge Family were known for their youth and Ba Ji Quan, unlike Zhuge Qing who had mastered Wu Hou Qi Men. Zhuge Bai had only learned a few techniques of Wu Hou Qi Men, his talent comparable to Zhuge Qing's. However, he was still too young; given a few more years, he might become another Zhuge Qing.
"Ba Zha Shen Bai Hu!"
Zhuge Bai's hands glowed with white light, and his fighting spirit surged. Without hesitation, he launched a punch at Sera.
Seeing the powerful strike coming her way, Sera met it with her Nichirin Blade, though she didn’t use any techniques. Zhuge Bai's punch was blocked by Sera, who then responded with a series of quick punches.
Sera smiled as she effortlessly countered all his moves. Watching her calm demeanor made Zhuge Bai feel a bit frustrated.
"What are you doing? Hit me! Do you look down on me just because I'm younger?"
Hearing Zhuge Bai's words, Sera shook her head again. "I’m just seeing what you’re capable of."
"Alright, alright!"
Zhuge Bai stepped back, constantly searching for the right position. Sera stood still on the ground, watching Zhuge Bai move. He must be looking for a divination position, she thought.
Zhuge Bai finally found his spot. "Earth River Vehicle!" A massive boulder rolled out from in front of him, hurtling towards Sera. Just as the boulder was about to reach her, Zhuge Bai shifted to another position. "Li Zi Chi Lian!" Flames erupted from his hand, shooting towards Sera.
Sera swiftly sliced through the boulder with her blade. "Water Breathing, Qi Zhi Xing, Water Droplet Ripple Strike!" The towering flames dissipated in an instant. By the time Zhuge Bai realized what had happened, Sera had already placed her sword against his throat.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhuge Bai's forehead. "I concede!" he admitted.
Upon hearing his words, Sera lowered her sword. "Oh, is it over? It seems I was a bit late."
At that moment, a male voice echoed from the sky. Sera looked up excitedly upon hearing the voice. A gigantic bird soared above them, and it seemed there was someone seated on it.
The audience in the stands buzzed with excitement at the sight of the enormous bird. "Is that bird really that big?" one exclaimed. "It looks like there's someone up there! Do you know who it is?"
The vision of the otherworldly beings was keen, allowing them to see Li Yunqing on the back of Hei Yu, along with the Merman Prince behind him.
Sera suddenly appeared in front of Li Yunqing and embraced him. "Honey, you’re here!"
"Yes, I just went out for a stroll," he replied, patting Sera's back. He felt that the time should be about right, though he hadn't expected Sera to arrive so early.
Old Celestial Master watched as Sera suddenly vanished from the arena and reappeared on Hei Yu's back, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes, though he kept his composure.
Observing Li Yunqing in such a close embrace with Sera, he thought, This must be the leader of Yunqing Sect, Li Yunqing. It’s hard to gauge his strength; it’s difficult to say.
"Alright, you should be done now. Let’s go catch up over there and not disturb others during their competition."
"Mm-hmm," Li Yunqing agreed as he directed Hei Yu to fly toward the outer arena.
In the audience, Ma Yi and others followed suit.
"Yesterday, an elder passed away and went to a banquet. He only returned after drinking late at night, so I didn’t have any inspiration to write."
