In the fifth section, Michaux Odin was patiently dispatching his first opponent, an Ivantian named Miao Xiu. He too was a disciple of the Templar's court.
After having experienced combat against Patroclus, Miao Xiu feared no one by then, not even the young master of the Divine Master sect.
The atmosphere inside the arena was heavy. As a Templar's disciple, Miao Xiu had a basic understanding of his opponent's capability. He knew that the Divine Master sect's techniques excelled at attacking using soul energy. However, he was also very confident in his ability to defend against soul energy attacks.
The key in defending against the soul energy attack was to protect the head. As a matter of fact, a typical soul energy attack's effectiveness was greatly limited by this countermeasure. Some audiences who knew about the defense strategy reckoned that the young divine master had met a worthy opponent, as Miao Xiu channeled all his defensive soul energy to his head.
