"Well, let me see what you have." Zhi Ruo brandished her weapon. And the ancient weapon vibrated dully. Like it was being awakened. The air was hot, but it didn't effect Zhi Ruo one bit, she has faced much more painful heat from her wraith devourers than this pretty little trick Han Wanran was doing.'He's a double elemental master.' Zhi Ruo summed up. She doesn't have any proof now, but she has a gut feeling that it is. She looked as Han Wanran stayed fine even under the heat that he induced. After all, to be able to produce fire doesn't mean it grants you instant immunity from it.With keep eyes, Zhi Ruo watched as a steady stream of steam came out from her opponent's pores. 'Water?' Zhi Ruo thought, the element immediately came up in her mind. Her cautious nature proved to be useful, because she actually already guessed Han Wanran's second element.Water. Fire, and water was an unlikely combo, though Zhi Ruo guessed that Han Wanran probably didn't use his fire ability because of t

"look at her go.""I bet my good money on her, she better win.""That weapon sure is amazing, to be able to withstand that throw. Even with the barrier on, I swore my eardrums is still ringing.""Forget about the weapon, did you see the damage the weapon made to that other guy? That must have hurt.""Hurt would be and understatement I tell you.""I'm surprised that the guy is still alive. If I was him, I would have already died on the spot.""Brother, you can't compare yourself to the people that are on the path of cultivation.""I'm just saying, you didn't have to take it far too literally."The fight continued, however, Han Wanran wasn't dreading the fact that he will crash down. He was now dreading the fact that he 'could not' come down. Even if he wanted to. He was now trying to find ways to make his body touch the ground, but he wasn't a wind elementalist. He could not weave his body through the air naturally.He had two to three broken ribs now, and because he was in the air, an

At some point, Han Wanran managed to catch Zhi Ruo. And it wasn't long before he was pointing the tips of his blades unto Zhi Ruo's neck as he struggled under the influence of Zhōngguó. Han Wanran proved to be a challenging opponent, as he could move even under all of Zhi Ruo's weapons and Zhi Ruo herself.However, Zhi Ruo wasn't the type of person to back down. She was quick to take advantage, of all the opportunities Han Wanran revealed to her. Seeing that her opponent came into her willingly, Zhi Ruo thought that it would have been a damn shame if she just let it pass by. Zhi Ruo made sure that the wraith devourers were satisfied, the twin flames were having fun devouring the clearly lacking skills of Han Wanran. But of course, Zhi Ruo took a page from Alberu's book and decided to act the part of the underdog, but she was never defeated. But it was odd, because she was portraying the role of the underdog perfectly. But she didn't stumble, nor did she flinch, she never gave the in

However, Han Wanran's face was slowly becoming more worst as the time passed by. His joints creeked of exhaustion, visibly not used to this kind of fight. Largely relying on hand to hand combat with his opponent, not throwing spells in the air like this and not even hitting the intended target.Zhi Ruo too, was tired and exhausted. Even more so than Han Wanran, who was leaps higher in terms of realm. But because Han Wanran's foundation wasn't as strong as his realm, it allowed Zhi Ruo to fight on even terms with him. However, as the time passed by, Zhi Ruo could not keep up with her MP consumption that she had to pause and eat a whole pill in the middle of battle.A bold and risky move, nonetheless Zhi Ruo's body was used to this kind of burden on a daily basis that Zhi Ruo 'herself' did not notice it. As for why Zhi Ruo did not mind this was because of her skill 'regeneration' that was far too busy healing and helping her with her wounds. It could not keep up with her MP consumption,

Clasping her weapon securely, Zhi Ruo walked with Zhōngguó towards the exit of the arena. The medics around her that clamoured over the trival injuries on her body, stepped away upon seeing the injuries on Zhi Ruo's body being healed instantly. All of them looked at each other. And a awkward pause hung on the air.One of the medics who was watching Zhi Ruo's match beforehand, could not rip her eyes away from the rolling veins on Zhi Ruo's arms when she moved. She wasn't concerned about Zhi Ruo's injuries, rather, she was more concerned for Zhi Ruo's Qi coiles."Would your coils be fine?" The medic asked, stopping the awkward silence and Zhi Ruo herself. Zhi Ruo looked at the medic who asked the question. The medic knew— knows, that Zhi Ruo was more that qualified to deal with her own injuries, even more than her, 'even' more than her team.She herself was a fan of Zhi Ruo from the start of the tournament. Though she can't show in outwardly because of her profession. The medic saw how
