"You're still impressive, I lost," Lilu Lu sighed.
Sera smiled in response. "You're really strong, just a little off."
It wasn't false modesty. The two sisters had started learning Water Breathing together, but their approaches were different. Sera's relentless momentum needed to be broken; otherwise, she would become increasingly difficult to defeat as she grew stronger. Lilu Lu's one-hit kill power was sufficient against opponents of the same level, but it fell short against those with strong defenses.
The winner was Sera!
The Taoist judge only realized the outcome after listening to the two girls' conversation. Once the Taoist finished speaking, Sera and Lilu Lu returned to Li Yunqing's side. Their match had truly been an eye-opener!
The Old Celestial Master watched the two girls with a smile. Sera and Lilu Lu exchanged faint smiles; they still felt they had room for improvement.
"There's no need for modesty. You both have such strength at your level; you should be proud," the Old Celestial Master said with a laugh. "With abilities like yours, akin to mine, if you aren't proud, I might just get jealous!"
"Old Celestial Master, how do you plan to arrange this?" Li Yunqing asked.
Listening to Li Yunqing, the Old Celestial Master replied, "After this round is over, let the two winners choose who will face Lingyu. The victor will then battle the other."
Li Yunqing nodded.
This match was between Kanao Tsuyuri and Wang Bing. There wasn't much to see; it would likely end quickly.
"Please welcome Kanao Tsuyuri and Wang Bing to the arena!"
Kanao Tsuyuri took her place in the ring, while Wang Bing sauntered in through the main entrance.
"Hey, woman, just admit defeat and let me win! Do you hear me?" Wang Bing said arrogantly, looking at Kanao Tsuyuri with disdain. He was the Young Master of the Ten Lords faction; who would dare to ignore his orders?
"Fool," Kanao Tsuyuri thought, gazing at Wang Bing with disbelief. She had known for a long time that he was somewhat dim-witted, but she hadn't expected him to be this foolish.
"What did you say? You filthy woman, you're done for!" Wang Bing exclaimed, initially incredulous before his expression twisted into rage.
The match began! The referee was already growing impatient listening to Wang Bing's taunts. He shouted for the match to start, urging Kanao Tsuyuri to stop talking and take action.
Kanao Tsuyuri was more than ready for that.
"Hana Breath Type I: Iris!"
With a swift draw of her blade, Kanao Tsuyuri unleashed a powerful slash imbued with the essence of purple irises, striking Wang Bing directly.
Caught off guard and still talking, Wang Bing had no time to react. He was sent flying backward and landed on the ground, motionless.
The referee counted to ten, but Wang Bing remained unmoving.
The victor is Kanao Tsuyuri!
Shortly after, some medical staff brought Wang Bing in on a stretcher.
"Please wait a moment, Kanao Tsuyuri. Also, Sera and Zhang Lingyu, please enter the arena!"
Kanao Tsuyuri had just heard the words of the Old Celestial Master and decided to stay in the venue.
Before long, Sera and Zhang Lingyu also arrived.
"Zhang Lingyu, please choose one of your opponents to compete against. The winner will face the other participant, and ultimately, the final victor will proceed to the championship."
Zhang Lingyu had no doubts about this; after all, the Old Celestial Master had already explained it to him that morning. However, he hadn’t mentioned that his opponent would be going easy on him.
