“You also want to challenge me?” The girl snorted coldly. Her brown eyes looked at Cole indifferently. Her tone was calm, as if she did not take her opponent seriously.
Cole nodded. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. “Yes, I am your opponent.”
The girl nodded. Her eyes suddenly became fierce and released a strong fighting aura. However, this was not enough for Cole to be afraid of.
“Come!” He leisurely curled the corner of his lips and challenged the girl.
The girl lightly snorted. The long sword in her hand had already been raised. Dou Qi wrapped around the long sword as it headed straight for Cole.
Cole calmly stood at his original spot. When the sword was about to approach him, he raised his hand in front of his chest to block it. The powerful Dou Qi released by his body instantly forced the girl back.
The girl’s eyes carried a trace of surprise. She looked at Cole and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so strong. However, I will not easily admit defeat.”
“I also don’t like people who lose to me too quickly,” Cole said with a cunning smile.
“Wind shock art!” The girl released a strand of Dou Qi very neatly. The surrounding wind seemed to have gathered together—the whirlwind wrapped around the Dou Qi and quickly rushed toward Cole.
Cole dodged it in a flash. Then, unexpectedly, that force swept over from behind him. Fortunately, Cole had sensed the danger in time. He waved his long sword and blocked that force.
“Breaking wind slas.h.!.+” His eyes turned sharp, and his expression suddenly became serious.
The powerful Dou Qi swept over. The girl’s expression changed, and she hurriedly used her Dou Qi to block it. When the two streams of Dou Qi collided, it was time to compare strength.
At first, the girl could barely hold on. However, Cole’s strength soon became even stronger, forcing the girl to take a few steps back.
Her strenuous appearance made Cole want to show mercy.
“Consider it your win.” The girl was forced to the edge of the arena. She probably did not want to fall and lose too badly, so she directly let go and lowered her head as she said.
“You’re also very good. I’ll be guarding this arena for you from now on.” Cole looked at the girl meaningfully and raised his eyebrows as he said this.
At this moment, the girl had already walked down the arena. She glanced back at Cole and disappeared into the crowd.
There were still many people challenging the arena that was guarded by Cole. However, they were quickly knocked off the arena by him. After several battles, Cole was somewhat tired.
At this moment, another strong-looking boy went up. Just by looking at him, Audrey knew that the strength of that boy was on par with Cole.
At this moment, Cole was already a little tired. It would probably be a little difficult to deal with this person.
Things were true as Audrey had guessed. In the first half of the match, Cole could still be on par with the other party. However, gradually, he began to go downhill. In the end, he was forced off the arena by the other party’s Dou Qi.
“This time, I’m not as good as him. I’ll definitely ask for your advice next time!” Cole said in a carefree manner and returned to the side of the Dragon Slaying Squad.
“How did you feel on the stage?” Hobart looked at Cole with interest and asked meaningfully.
Cole shook his head helplessly and said, “Pretty good. I just didn’t manage to defend until the end.”
Hearing his regretful tone, the few of them could not help but feel that it was a little funny. Based on Cole’s character, he probably did not expect to fight to the end. He was just going up to practice.
“With Audrey around, you won’t be able to stay to the end. It’s also good to go up and get eliminated at the beginning so that it won’t be harder to fight later,” said Klein with a light snort.
The match was still going on in full swing. The further it went, the more powerful the people on the stage became. Apart from Audrey, all the members of the Dragon Slaying Squad had to take turns to challenge them.
Although the Dragon Slaying Squad was strong, there were still people in the Knights Legion who were stronger than them. Therefore, they gradually lost the match and walked down dejectedly.
“We’re all done. Audrey, when do you plan to go on stage?” Hobart sighed and looked at Audrey with antic.i.p.ation.
This was what he was looking forward to. He wanted to see just how strong Audrey was now.
“There’s no rush.” Looking at the two people fighting on the stage, the corners of Audrey’s mouth curled up.
Now was not the time for her to go. She had to wait a little longer. Soon, a few matches had pa.s.sed. That person was still guarding the stage, but the number of people who went up to challenge him was decreasing.
“Who’s that person?” Audrey sized up the other party. He had a well-proportioned figure and a slightly cold expression. His entire body exuded the aura of a powerhouse.
“He seems to be the champion of the previous match, Gendry. I heard that he’s very strong. He’s a dark horse, so many people are afraid of him.”
Interesting! Audrey’s eyes lit up. It seemed like the match was nearing its end. It was time for her to go on stage.
“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?” Gendry asked indifferently.
If no one challenged him, he would be the champion of the compet.i.tion again. There was complete silence below the stage. Many people looked at each other, but they did not have the courage to challenge him.
At this moment, a cold female voice came from the corner. “Let me do it!”
Audrey stood up and went forward. Her exquisite face had the same indifferent expression. There was not the slightest hint of panic.
When Gendry saw Audrey, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be wondering where this girl, who was not afraid of losing, had come to challenge him at this moment.
“Are you sure you want to challenge me?” Gendry asked again and again with certainty.
Audrey nodded affirmatively, her eyes sharp.
Gendry curled the corners of his lips and smiled confidently. “Good! Then don’t blame me for bullying you too harshly. You came to me yourself.”
“It’s not certain who’s bullying who,” Audrey said frivolously.
The audience sighed.
