"First Spirit Skill: The Anger of the Golden Dragon!" Zloto yelled as he summoned his spirit. Golden dragon scales formed around his body and wings sprouted from his back. Sparks of electricity arced between his wings and scales causing them to glow brightly as they crackled loudly. The first spirit skill allows him to increase all attacks by 30%
"Second Spirit Skill: One Claw pierces the Heavens!" Zloto said, raising his right golden claw and slashing it at Ardor who was in her spirit form and raised her red crimson claw.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: The Flames of War." Ardor Ryujin said calmly as she summoned a pillar of fire beneath her feet which engulfed her body completely.
Yuki watched the two of them battle with great interest as they exchanged blows. Ardor Ryujin used her second spirit skill and attacked Zloto relentlessly, while Zloto blocked her attacks and counterattacked her when he had an opening.
"Fifth Spirit Skill: The Breath of the Red Dragon." Ardor Ryujin said, and a huge wave of fire came fuming out of her mouth and engulfed Zloto who just stood still.
"You're flames don't even burn my clothes, how pathetic." Zloto scoffed, and his voice sounded arrogant.
"Don't get too cocky, you haven't seen the full extent of my spirit's power." Ardor Ryujin said, clenching her right claw and clamping down on her teeth.
"Don't you like fighting fist to fist? Why are you hiding away?" Ardor Ryujin said, and a crazy smile appeared on her face as she lunged towards Zloto who dodged her attack easily.
"Fine, you want a fist fight, I'll give you a fist fight." Zloto said, and concentrated his Kongli to his fist and slammed towards Ardor Ryujin.
Ardor threw a punch at his fist, but was overwhelmed and thrown back. She looked down and saw her right hand was covered in blood and a few of her fingers were broken.
"Seventh Spirit Skill: Flaming Princess of Hell!" Ardor Ryujin yelled, and her entire body was engulfed in flames. Her eyes glowed red and her teeth were bared.
"Seventh Spirit Skill: Golden Lightning of Destruction." Zloto yelled, and his entire body was enveloped in a bright golden light. The dragon wings on his back flapped wildly and he charged towards Ardor who threw a punch at him, but Zloto grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall of the arena.
The two of them continued exchanging blows, each attack getting more powerful than the last. Zloto threw a punch at Ardor's chest which caused her to fly backwards and slam into the ground, her chest bleeding profusely.
"Winner, Zloto!" The referee called out.
"I'll win next time." Ardor snorted and stood up and used her left hand to cover her chest and limply walked out of the arena.
"Zloto is so strong." Yuki mumbled, her eyes shining brightly.
"You seem to have a lot of respect for him." Meng Li commented amusedly.
"Yes, he's so strong, and handsome." Yuki sighed dreamily, making Meng Li's eyes twitch slightly.
"You better not be a love brain, or I'll show you how a real fight works." Meng Li said threateningly.
"Of course not!" Yuki quickly replied, shaking her head vigorously.
"Good, because a lot of men in this world are scum, don't ever trust a man, especially the handsome ones like Zloto." Meng Li said firmly, making Yuki stare at her strangely.
"Senior you-" Yuki started but stopped abruptly when she noticed Zloto entering their booth.
"Zloto, what a surprise." Meng Li said, giving a wave of her hand.
Zloto nodded and had a majestic look on his face as looked at Yuki then back at Meng Li.
"It seems you're getting along with the Snow Dragon Clan." Zloto said, pouring himself a cup of wine.
"Of course." Meng Li replied casually, watching him closely.
"What are you two doing here?" Zloto asked, glancing at Yuki before looking at Meng Li again.
"I'm teaching her the basics." Meng Li replied nonchalantly, causing Zloto to raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"You didn't sign her up, did you? Compared to those with elite training since childhood, she probably can't even last a second." Zloto didn't sugar coat his words at all, leaving Yuki with a bitter expression.
"Are you forgetting what her first spirit ability is? People who are level 70 and above don't necessarily have zone skills like Yuki. A good example of this would be you and Ardor."
"Have you forgotten? Just because one has a powerful spirit skill doesn't mean they're the winners."
"No, I haven't forgotten, but that doesn't change the fact that Yuki can't compete with someone who has trained for years." Meng Li said, causing Zloto to fall silent.
"Anyway, the Dragon Sect is currently searching for some missing elders, have you heard anything?" Zloto said after a while.
"No." Meng Li said quickly.
Zloto said, "Whatever." and left the booth.
Meng Li turned around after seeing Zloto leaving, and looked at Yuki.
"You have a match in 15 minutes, so we need to get ready." Meng Li said, standing up and walking out of the booth.
Yuki nodded and followed behind Meng Li. The two walked towards the changing room and Yuki changed into her clothes. After they exited the changing room, Yuki walked towards the arena where she would fight and entered the waiting area.
"Remember, use your zone skill and don't panic." Meng Li said as she stood next to Yuki in the waiting area.
Yuki nodded her head and clenched her fists tightly as she stared at the doors leading to the arena. Her opponent was Ardor Huo, and judging by his spirit and name, he should have some sort of relation to Ardor Ryujin.
Time passed quickly, and Yuki's name was called, telling her it was time to go onto the stage.
