Yi Ran's eyes narrowed, her facade finally cracking.
"Well, well… I suppose there's no point in pretending anymore," she said, her voice low and tinged with amusement. "I should end this dull little match."
Slash!
Her blade swept upward with sudden, ferocious speed.
The mist around them was torn apart, swirling violently before it began to fade—revealing the battlefield in stark, chilling clarity.
And with it, the crowd erupted.
"Look! The mist's clearing—we can see the fight now!"
"Yeah, yeah! Now I get to see my goddess in action again!"
"Yes! I can't wait to watch my Goddess Yi Ran utterly crush that... uh, what's-his-name again?"
"Quick, place your bets! This is our chance!"
"500 Sect Points on Yi Ran"
"1000 on Yi Ran "
"1500 on Yi Ran"
"2500 on Yi Ran"
"5000 on Yi Ran"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, loud and proud above the crowd—
"I'm putting 10000 Sect Points on my Big Brother, Xue Taiyang!" Xu Yang shouted, his voice brimming with unwavering faith.
