Chapter 129:
Jean frowned, a little apprehensive. White Emperor and Black Emperor were currently crouching on Jean's shoulders.
"Claire's loss is not assured!" Summer humphed coldly.
"Then how about a bet, little thief?" Ben raised a brow. He had long seen through the strength of the two onstage. The blue haired fellow's strength was above Claire's. Claire was really unfortunate, going to be eliminated on the first round.
"Fine! You think I'm afraid of betting?" Summer said fiercely. She really disliked Ben's tone of voice.
"Alright, I'll bet Claire will lose. If I win, you must fulfill three of my requests. If I lose, I will fulfill three of your requests," Ben snickered.
"Alright! Claire will definitely win!" Summer huffed.
Camille's eye slitted. He leaned back in his chair, watching the two on stage silently.
Dong Fenghou was currently munching on the snacks Qiao Chuxin had bought from the peddlers.
To hide his identity, Walter was wearing a hat. He pushed it down further, trying to hide his worry.
The five minutes passed by quickly and the injured people were swiftly carried away for treatment.
"Resume," the referee announced, far away from the barrier. Even so, he still sprinted away to a safer area, as if sprinting the hundred meter dash. He had a feeling the barrier would break sooner or later.
"You're weak!" Hua Yilin sneered. He burst forward towards Claire, a sword of water appearing in the palm of his hand.
Water molding!
Instead of facing him straight on, Claire retreated back swiftly. She could sense that the strength of this person before her was not something she could face. Both his outer strength and inner strength were far above her own. She wouldn't be able to win directly, so she could only outsmart him.
Splash!
Hua Yilin's sword struck where Claire had been standing loudly. Subsequently, the stage started shaking and there were loud tremors. Before everybody's stunned fazes, the stage collapsed! Smoke and dust flew and it was starting to become hard to see what was happening inside the barrier.
Feng Yixuan stood up abruptly. Right beside him, Shui Wenmo grabbed him tightly, fearing that Feng Yixuan would not be able to bear it and rush upstage.
As the dust settled, two figures could be seen.
Golden flame wings extended from Claire's back, gently flapping. Hua Yilin too had a pair of wings, transparent, made of water. Seeing this, Feng Yixuan left out a breath.
"Well, well. Our Lagark has quite a few talents. First, Feng Yixuan becoming able to mold wind after his breakthrough. Now, it seems, Hua Yilin also made a breakthrough to mold water." The emperor's eyes slitted.
The crown prince remained silent. As he watched the two, a sudden feeling of unease arose, but as for why, he could not say.
"Calm down, calm down. The results are not set in stone," Shui Wenmo repeated constantly as if reciting a buddhist scripture. What he feared the most was Feng Yixuan recklessly dashing upstage. At that time, there would be countless trouble!
Suddenly, bright light shone, everything white. The barrier was broken. Fire and water scattered. The golden light and the silver shine of water droplets sparkled, a dazzling sight to behold.
Hua Yilin grasped a huge sword tightly, floating in mid air, his eyes full of bloodlust and excitement.
In the audience, Hua Xiuning revealed a cruel smile. Hua Yilin was serious! Claire, you will die today.
At this time, Claire's eyes were still closed shut. Hua Yilin brandished his sword, aiming at Claire, a bloodthirsty smile on his face. "Good. I acknowledge you. I will kill you seriously."
But Claire's eyes remained closed. Hua Yilin laughed coldly and dashed forward.
"Vanish..." Claire's eyes opened abruptly, emitting golden rays of light, a magnificent sight.
In that instant, a thick, golden barrier enclosed both Claire and Hua Yilin inside.
What was she doing?
"Flames? Another flame barrier?" The female t-rex stroked her chin, pondering. The barrier was very thin, yet the flames were golden. Why?
Soon, the experts present understood why.
Although the barrier was thin, it was exceptionally strong. The heat it emitted was much higher than that of normal flames. And what was most astonishing was that the huge sword of molded water was slowly turning smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely!
The barrier actually prevented water from entering?!
Instantly, low exclaims rang out in the stadium.
The golden flames actually had such an effect?
But it wasn't just that. Hua Yilin was shocked to discover that the water vapor within the barrier was slowly decreasing too!
What a lunatic! Astonishment flashed through Hua Yilin's eyes. This girl was actually more insane than him! Not only did she isolate them from water, she was also steadily burning up all the water vapor in the air inside the barrier! If this continued, both of them wouldn't be able to breath! The barrier would gradually burn up all of the air inside!
"Good, good! My determination to kill you has been strengthened." Excitement, madness, bloodlust, all of those emotions flashed through his eyes.
"Waste of breath!" Claire finally said. It was the first time she had said anything, but these first words angered Hua Yilin!
Fighting is fighting! Why did he talk so much?
With a quiet whoosh, an ordinary looking sword materialized in Claire's hand.
Claire raised the sword, a cold smile on her face as she said softly, "Azure Ripple blade, let me see your true power today. Otherwise, I will only use you to chop firewood from now on."
The next instant, the sword started vibrating, as if reacting to Claire's words. At the same time, a sword materialized in Hua Yilin's hand too. Evidently, Hua Yilin also had a rare interspatial storage ring!
A cold glint flashed in her eyes. The air was about to run out, so he wouldn't be able to use water magic any more. It was now down to Dou Qi. Relatively speaking, her Dou Qi level was lower than his, but what if they were in a situation where they almost couldn't breath? Would he still be able to exert his full strength?
