Li Ye and Zhiruo have known each other for many years, and their first confrontation was during the last incident when Liu Fei used a sedative to control her. This time, he simply wanted to see how much Zhiruo had grown.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Zhiruo, let's not hold back today. Let's fight with all our strength."
Zhiruo nodded and replied with a smile, "Brother Ye, don't underestimate me."
As the match began, Zhiruo quickly launched her attack. She flipped her palm, and cold Spiritual Energy condensed in the air, forming dozens of Cold Spirit Needles that swiftly shot towards Li Ye. Li Ye tapped his toes and moved like a swallow, deftly dodging Zhiruo's attack.
Li Ye nodded slightly, "Not bad, your speed and strength have improved. But it's still not enough!"
After saying this, he suddenly accelerated and appeared beside Zhiruo in an instant, striking towards her shoulder. Zhiruo was startled and quickly sidestepped to evade, unleashing Chill from her hands to create an ice wall between them. Li Ye's palm wind struck the ice wall, shattering it into pieces as Chill scattered everywhere.
"Good defense, but be careful of your opponent's follow-up attacks," Li Ye reminded.
Zhiruo did not hesitate; she brought her hands together and softly chanted a spell. Several Ice Arrows shot from her fingertips, aiming directly at Li Ye. Li Ye raised his hand and lightly waved his long sword, slicing through the Ice Arrows one by one.
"Zhiruo, your attacks need to be more precise; don't waste your Spiritual Energy," Li Ye instructed while fighting.
Zhiruo nodded, focusing her mind and channeling more Spiritual Energy into the ice arrows in her hands. She fixed her gaze on Li Ye, waiting for the perfect moment. Li Ye smiled slightly, stepped forward, and accelerated again towards Zhiruo.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhiruo suddenly shot the Ice Arrow in her hand straight at Li Ye's chest. Li Ye slightly tilted his body; the Ice Arrow grazed his clothing but he did not stop. Instead, he approached Zhiruo even faster.
"Very good; you timed your attack well, but you need to be quicker," Li Ye said softly.
In the instant he got close to Zhiruo, his long sword transformed into a silver flash aimed at her wrist. Zhiruo reacted swiftly; Chill gathered in her hands to form an Ice Shield in front of her. Li Ye's long sword struck the Ice Shield with a crisp sound, creating cracks in it but not breaking it completely.
"Great defense, but you're consuming too much of your Spiritual Energy," Li Ye warned.
Zhiruo took a deep breath, determination flashing in her eyes. She suddenly withdrew the Ice Shield; Spiritual Energy rapidly swirled around her, forming a powerful cold current. Li Ye felt the force of the cold current and smiled with satisfaction.
"Good job; utilizing the environment combined with your Spiritual Energy can maximize your attack power," Li Ye praised.
Zhiruo harnessed the power of the cold wave, her figure flashing as she instantly appeared behind Li Ye, striking towards his back with a palm. Li Ye chuckled lightly, shifting his body slightly to deflect Zhiruo's attack, while simultaneously countering with a sword strike to push her back.
"The angle of your attack is good, but you need to pay attention to your defense," Li Ye continued to offer guidance.
The two exchanged blows back and forth, with Li Ye constantly pointing out Zhiruo's shortcomings. Zhiruo listened intently to his advice, continuously improving her techniques during the battle. The atmosphere in the arena grew tense, and the audience watched with rapt attention, marveling at their exquisite skills.
Eventually, Zhiruo exhausted her Spiritual Energy, breathing heavily as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Seeing this, Li Ye nodded slightly and said, "You did great; now let me take over."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed forward and gently placed a palm on her shoulder. Zhiruo felt a warm flow of Spiritual Energy enter her body, instantly alleviating her fatigue.
"In this match, you've already won against me many times," Li Ye said softly, "but there has to be a result to the competition."
With that, he gave her a gentle push, causing Zhiruo to step back a few paces and stand firmly at the edge of the arena. She looked up at Li Ye, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
"Brother Ye, thank you for your guidance," Zhiruo said with a smile.
Li Ye smiled back. "You've done very well; let's keep working hard together. We will definitely become stronger in the future."
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience as Li Ye and Zhiruo both bowed in appreciation. The host announced Li Ye as the winner, but it was clear that both participants had transcended the concept of victory or defeat, leaving only mutual recognition and encouragement in their hearts.
Zhiruo smiled gently and shyly said, "Brother Ye, you won... tonight, I will be down below."
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers; the duel between Li Ye and Zhiruo had been a feast for their eyes. Li Ye and Zhiruo walked down from the arena together and returned to the resting area.
The next match was about to begin, featuring Yan Yuchen against Lan Xi, whose duel was equally captivating. Below the arena, the audience's anticipation reached its peak as everyone wanted to see who would ultimately advance to the finals to compete for the glory of being number one in the world.
Su Yue and Liu Chengfeng approached Li Ye's resting area. Upon seeing them arrive simultaneously, Li Ye stood up to greet them with a smile. "Brother Liu, Miss Su, it is truly an honor to have both of you here today."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and returned the gesture respectfully. "You're too kind, Brother Li. We came specifically to congratulate you. Your performance today alongside several young ladies was truly impressive."
Su Yue also smiled and nodded, adding, "Yes, Li Young Master and the several ladies truly opened our eyes with their skills."
Li Ye politely said, "Brother Liu, Miss Su, you flatter us. We are just doing our best. We owe much of our progress to everyone's encouragement and support during the competition."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Li Brother. The title of the best in the world is surely going to be yours."
Li Ye awkwardly shrugged and replied, "I didn't expect all four of us to advance to the finals; I can only say it was luck."
Su Yue chuckled and said, "Li Young Master, no need to be modest. You must treat us to drinks tonight; you hurt me in the competition, so you owe me that."
Li Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Alright! Tonight at Cloud Pinnacle Pavilion, it's on me! Let's all go together; we won't leave until we're drunk!"
Liu Chengfeng and Su Yue both showed satisfied smiles. Liu Chengfeng said, "Li Brother is truly generous; we won't hold back then. Tonight at Cloud Pinnacle Pavilion, let's not miss each other."
Su Yue playfully winked and said, "Li Young Master, don't think about skipping out on the bill; we will remember this."
Li Ye laughed and said, "Don't worry; I will definitely be there on time."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Chengfeng and Su Yue took their leave. Li Ye watched their figures fade away and turned to Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen, and Lan Xi, saying, "Let's all go relax tonight. The competition wasn't easy; it's a good opportunity to rest well."
Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen, and Lan Xi all nodded in agreement, feeling much more relaxed. Lan Xi watched this scene with a mix of emotions swelling in her heart but still made an effort to maintain her smile and enjoy this brief moment of peace with everyone.
