Two minutes later
Ji Xiaoge and Cordova appeared simultaneously in the dueling ring.
The former fluttered her wings lightly, floating delicately in mid-air. Her visually striking long black hair spread out, swaying gently in the breeze, making her look like an angel descending upon the world.
The latter took off the sharp, heavy Staff of the Punisher from his back. He just stood there ordinarily, yet exuding an intimidating pressure. He was calm and collected, his eyes stern and focused.
Of course, Cordova was not at all afraid of Ji Xiaoge. Even though he knew the latter was Ruvie's apprentice and heard from Mor about her impressive combat skills, and even tasted the astonishing art of her cooking at the New Year's Eve dinner, he still didn't think he would lose.
