The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, celebrating the thrilling match. Li Ye and Su Yue exchanged bows before stepping down from the arena. Li Ye returned to the stands, where Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen, and Lan Xi quickly surrounded him, expressing their concern for his well-being while giving him a massage.
Zhiruo smiled and gave Li Ye a quick kiss on the cheek, saying, "Brother Ye, I’m up for the second match."
With the sound of a gong, the host announced the start of the second match: "Zhiruo vs. Han Lin."
Li Ye gently patted Zhiruo's hand, saying, "Zhiruo, be careful and just give it your all."
With another gong sound, the host declared, "Next up is the second match, featuring Zhiruo against Han Lin!"
Han Lin, only twenty years old, was the young master of Han Family Fortress and was known for his swift blade skills. He had a tall figure and wielded a sharp short knife, his gaze piercing and imposing. The two stood in the arena, locking eyes as the atmosphere instantly grew tense.
"Han Lin's swift blade is famous; can Miss Zhiruo handle it?"
"Li Ye is so strong; his companion must be impressive as well."
"Looking at Zhiruo in the Preliminary Round, she seems to be quite skilled; this match will surely be exciting!"
Zhiruo and Han Lin exchanged respectful gestures. Han Lin smiled slightly, saying, "Miss Zhiruo, I've heard that your ice magic is exceptional. It’s truly an honor to battle with you today."
Zhiruo replied with a calm smile, "Young Master Han is too kind. Let’s both give it our best today."
With the host's command, the match officially began. Han Lin struck first, his short knife transforming into a flash of silver as he swiftly advanced toward Zhiruo. Zhiruo gracefully dodged, her hands moving slightly as countless frost particles gathered in the air, launching directly at Han Lin.
Han Lin, seeing the situation, did not retreat but instead advanced, launching a series of strikes with his short knife. The blade glimmered as it clashed with Zhiruo's frost magic. The two exchanged blows in the Arena, their movements intertwining in a dazzling display. Han Lin's knife techniques were incredibly fast, each strike like a flash of lightning, but Zhiruo's magic was agile, allowing her to cleverly evade his lethal attacks.
Suddenly, Han Lin unleashed his family's secret technique, Thunderous Strike. The short knife sliced through the air, leaving trails of silver light and fierce wind as it charged towards Zhiruo. Unfazed, Zhiruo activated Reverse Heaven's Cold Shadow, drawing her hands through the air to create a frosty barrier that met Han Lin's blade. The two powerful forces of Spiritual Energy collided in midair, sending a flurry of frost swirling around.
"Han Lin's Thunderous Strike is indeed formidable, but Zhiruo's magic should not be underestimated."
"Both of them are incredibly strong!"
"Zhiruo, you can do it!"
Zhiruo summoned her newly learned Cold Spirit Needle, transforming her hands into countless tiny ice needles that shot rapidly towards Han Lin. Startled, Han Lin hurriedly dodged but was still struck by several needles, feeling a bone-chilling cold. Gritting his teeth and unwilling to concede easily, he charged at Zhiruo once more.
Seeing Han Lin's tenacity, Zhiruo secretly admired him. She decided to stop holding back and concentrated all her energy into another Cold Spirit Needle attack, unleashing a rain of ice needles upon Han Lin. He tried his best to defend himself but ultimately could not avoid them all; the needles struck multiple pressure points on his body, causing him to stagger and feel numbness.
Determined not to give up, Han Lin leaped into the air and swung his knife down at Zhiruo. She quickly retreated while activating Reverse Heaven's Cold Shadow again, forming a massive frosty barrier with her hands to block Han Lin's attack.
The battle intensified as they continued to clash. Han Lin's knife techniques were as swift as lightning, but Zhiruo's magic was even more fluid. Both sides took turns attacking and defending without a clear victor. Finally, Zhiruo focused all her energy and combined Cold Spirit Needle with Reverse Heaven's Cold Shadow to create a gigantic icy tornado that surged toward Han Lin.
Seeing this, Han Lin exerted all his strength to fend it off with his knife but ultimately could not withstand it. He was swept away by the icy tornado and crashed heavily against the edge of the Arena. Struggling to stand up, he clasped his fists and said, "Zhiruo, your skills surpass mine; I admit defeat."
Zhiruo retracted her magic and smiled as she replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Han Gongzi."
The audience erupted in applause and cheers for Zhiruo's spectacular performance. She walked off the Arena and returned to Li Ye's side, where he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and praised her saying, "Zhiruo, you were amazing!"
"Zhiruo's strength is indeed extraordinary!"
"Li Ye and Zhiruo are truly a pair of celestial lovers!"
"Today's competition is becoming more and more exciting!"
Lan Xi found an excuse to leave the resting area and went to a secluded spot, where she sent a message to Liu Zhang again. She detailed the recent movements and strength improvements of Li Ye and others.
At this moment, Liu Zhang was sorting through the messages sent by Lan Xi, his expression darkening as he pondered. When he learned that Li Ye's ultimate goal was the emperor, he was genuinely shocked and began to consider how to take advantage of this. Just then, another shocking piece of news arrived: Li Ye had actually managed to defeat the ancient sealed Soul Ripper! Preliminary estimates suggested that his strength had already surpassed the Golden Core Realm, and it was impossible to assess what level he had truly reached; Li Ye's combat power could not be measured by conventional standards.
Liu Zhang thought deeply; if such a person could be utilized well, he would be an invincible ally. He recalled that he had no deep-seated enmity with Li Ye. The reason Li Ye had been causing him trouble was likely due to the incident where he destroyed Feiyan Villa for the Heavenly Frost Sword. If he could distance himself from that event and shift the blame for the massacre in Qingyang City onto Wei Chenghao...
With this thought, Liu Zhang's lips curled into a smile. After pondering for a moment, he began drafting a letter, intending to take control of the situation before Li Ye acted against him.
The content of the letter was brief yet sincere:
"Young Master Li Ye, I have long admired your reputation and hold you in high regard. Recently, I learned that you harbor animosity towards me due to the matter of Feiyan Villa, which saddens me greatly. There are hidden circumstances in this matter that were beyond my control. As for the massacre in Qingyang City, it was indeed perpetrated by Wei Chenghao. I am willing to join forces with you to eliminate treachery and restore peace to the world. I hope you will consider this carefully. Sincerely, Liu Zhang."
He ordered someone to deliver the letter swiftly to the lord of Maplewood City and instructed the lord to personally hand it over to Li Ye. After that, Liu Zhang immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and began formulating a series of plans. He decided to use Lan Xi as a bridge to gradually establish trust with Li Ye. At the same time, he ordered his men to gather more evidence against Wei Chenghao and secretly prepare an operation targeting him in order to win Li Ye's trust.
Liu Zhang knew this was a risky game, but he firmly believed that if successful, not only could he resolve his current crisis but also gain an invincible ally, laying a solid foundation for his future ambitions. His gaze became profound as he felt an infinite expectation and ambition for the future.
