Xiu bit her lip in anger, feeling humiliated like never before. No one had ever looked down on her, and no woman her age came close to her talent. Her voice came out in an exasperated and furious tone. "Your power comes from our divine lineage. Don't be stupid!" Xiu shot back, resentful.
Edea remained calm in the face of Xiu's provocative words. She responded with disdain, without losing her composure. "I don't need to rely on my mother's blood to defeat someone as pathetic as you. Stop talking and come at me already. Lian is waiting for me," Edea declared calmly.
Xiu's eyes lit up at that statement. A small clan from the interior didn't possess powerful techniques that could rival the Violet clan's divine lineage. If Edea truly didn't use her lineage, Xiu believed she had a chance. She knew she needed to attack with everything she had and win before Edea changed her mind.
