The silence in the arena was broken by the senior disciple, who was the first to speak after Aurora's stunning display of power. He was clearly in awe of her beast, the Ice Alpha Wolf, and he approached her and her partner with a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Well done," he said, his voice filled with respect. "You have truly demonstrated the power of a strong bond between a cultivator and their beast."
The other participants, who had been stunned into silence, began to murmur amongst themselves. They couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. Aurora had not only contracted a First-Stage Warrior Realm beast, but she had also managed to control it effortlessly, demonstrating an incredible level of skill and strength.
However, the mood quickly shifted as the senior disciple turned his attention to Dave, who had ordered his Russet Striped Tiger to attack Aurora directly, even before the match had officially begun.
