"Me against you? I'm afraid you stand no chance, but why not?"
"You are too arrogant, I will have to teach you a lesson!"
"Hehe, I wonder who will be crying at the end."
Both argued for a moment before leaving the office empty.
Eihwar wished to fight outside the city, making sure no damage was inflicted on the city.
"Go ahead, I'll follow."
Justin muttered, taking out his sword; then he flew behind Eihwar for a few minutes.
Eihwar dived down, nodding in approval.
She chose a desert canyon, an area with vast space for them to go all out as much as they needed.
Suddenly, Eihwar shouted, "No space law or whatever!"
"You're an Immortal, shame on you," Justin responded, feeling it was too much.
She grumbled, "But...", freezing momentarily. "Never mind, you are right," she continued, changing her mind considering the gap between them.
"Then get ready!" Justin shouted, pointing his sword at her.
Eihwar charged at him, cutting the distance under a second, striking his stomach, and sending him flying before he could respond.
'Holy hell,' Justin thought, stabilizing himself after rolling for a few meters.
He supported himself back up, knowing she was not serious because he had only lost nearly two hundred health points.
Suddenly, he muttered, "I've never beaten a woman," pausing for a second, thinking to himself.
Then he remembered what he did to the girl a few days before.
"Never mind, I've already beaten up a woman..." He continued, the realization washing over him.
Justin raised his hands, summoning all of his elements at once.
Since he decided to do it, he chose to act seriously out of sheer respect and to prove himself worthy of her.
Clouds covered the sky as the lightning struck, bathing his sword. The darkness stretched across the horizon, imprisoning them together.
Lit metallic bars appeared, spread across the area, with flames on top like torches.
"I see... No wonder you are confident." Eihwar smirked, shaking her head.
Five elements were indeed great, but she believed it wasn't nearly enough.
She doubted his elements' lethality, having never experienced them before.
"But if you think that's enough, you are wrong!" She shouted, rushing again.
However, she froze in place, shock painting her face. She looked down, witnessing the darkness snaking around her legs.
"Wonderfully great, isn't it?! Yes, it is!" Justin snickered loudly, asking and answering himself.
He strolled like a ghost, circling her and arriving behind.
Tapping her shoulders, he brought her attention back to him.
Eihwar tried turning around, swinging her arm to throw him off. But he caught it, casually whispering in her ears.
"How about we stop here, dear? I've killed about five when I was weaker, and all of them were far stronger than you. Isn't that enough to prove my worth?"
Justin questioned, his words no longer sounding like bluffs to her.
"Humans won't—" She froze, muttering meekly.
He cut her off, "I never seek pointless approvals, I will kill them."
"You will be impacted because of my family and race," She came up with another excuse.
"Who cares? It's a matter of time before I become omnipotent, and I'm sure you will be no weaker than me or my wife."
"What? You have a wife?! I thought I was the only one!" She stared at him, grumbling angrily.
"I do, and there will be more. But I assure you, you will never be left out or abandoned."
Justin shrugged his shoulders, answering her truthfully.
She asked, "And how do I confirm that?", suspicious of him.
"You could remove your disguise and see whether I will stand with you or not. Or you could trust me and give us a try, it's not like I will force myself, or cage you."
Eihwar lowered her head, realizing she was free.
She thought, knowing the first option wasn't something she could afford at the moment.
But the second option? She guessed it wasn't as bad as it seemed, believing he would have already forced her if he wanted.
"Next week we go out,"
Eihwar announced, as the elements faded, disappearing completely.
Justin answered, "Any time, my empress.", causing her to huff and puff.
"I shall let my wife know the moment I return. See you later!" He shouted, riding on his sword again.
A few minutes later, Justin arrived at his new home.
"Good, good, good, I suppose it's time to get them." He nodded approvingly, satisfied with the outcome.
He believed the last part was a sound insulation array, or a couple.
However, he thought about informing Amelia about his plans since he had promised her.
Of course, he wasn't going to do it casually.
He knew he had to figure out the perfect time to strike.
Maybe when she was ecstatic enough to care, or maybe she became too addicted to him.
Either way, there were more important matters to handle for now.
The disciples waited for the tournament, and the sect needed the arrays quickly.
Thus, he returned to the city, visiting Alaric once again.
With everything ready, the formation master began their work, starting with his new home.
Since Justin had nothing to do, he followed them around, supervising them.
By midnight, everything was in place.
All of them eventually left, leaving Alaric behind to teach Justin how to control the formation.
"That's very nice of you," Justin smiled once Alaric was done, tipping him with a diamond. He continued, "This is for your hard work."
He responded proudly, "It was an honor to serve you, Daoist Justin.", taking the diamond before leaving.
With everything set in stone, Justin wanted to meditate until dawn.
Amelia was still refining his yang Qi, leaving him alone for the time being.
However, he could vividly sense the changes happening to her.
A very low percentage of her hair was turning red, and her Qi barrier became a little chaotic, like his.
Surprisingly, the changes interested him for obvious reasons, making him wonder whether he would experience change by refining her yin Qi.
