Crack... Crack...

Sizzle~

The sound of flesh and bone being forcibly torn apart echoed through the arena, accompanied by the smell of blood.

"No... No... No!"

Ye Qu was completely panicked, looking in terror at Yun You, who was tearing his body apart, struggling aimlessly...

The intense pain ravaged his once arrogant brain, making him cry and snot uncontrollably.

But what he couldn't accept even more was Yun You's monstrous and ferocious fighting style.

This girl was simply insane; she didn't resemble a human at all, but rather a monster in human skin, bloodthirsty and mad...

Even though she was gravely injured herself, with her broken limbs hanging limply on the ground, she didn't care, just biting relentlessly at her enemy.

Perhaps it was because the arena's blades weren't sharp enough that Yun You didn't use a weapon... she relied on her own teeth, like a beast abandoning all humanity, to tear open flesh and instinctively "eat."

This was a fighting style completely different from anything Ye Qu had known.

What had he learned before? Elegant and efficient noble combat, aimed at killing the enemy in one strike without getting one's clothes stained with blood.

So Ye Qu never imagined that a person could be so savage.

He instinctively wanted to fight back, to kick off the little monster on him.

But he couldn't.

He didn't have Yun You's ability to endure pain, nor the little girl's mindset of abandoning everything to win.

So in the end...

When his trachea was completely bitten through, the genius young man Ye Qu, with the guaranteed-hit purple talent of the Law of Cause and Effect, swallowed his last breath, turning into a godless corpse in resentment and humiliation.

His consciousness was forcibly stripped from Ethernet, and his broken body burst like a bubble.

And his death also marked the end of this duel.

"Praise the War Master, praise the victor!"

The long-silent host reappeared, jumping into the ring with a passionate voice to break the silence.

He walked up to Yun You, took out the prepared gladiolus, and gently brushed it over Yun You's head.

And in the next moment, the wounds on Yun You's body began to self-heal... flesh regenerated, bones mended, and within minutes the wounds closed.

Though the pain still lingered in the girl's body, at least now she didn't have to worry about dying from blood loss.

"I announce that the winner of this battle is—Wu Ming!"

"Currently, your record in the arena is [Personal Battle 1 win 0 losses], [Team Battle 0 wins 0 losses]!"

"Congratulations, great warrior Miss Wu Ming!"

"Your bravery has been recognized by the War Master, and your victory adds glory to your life!"

Saying this, the host turned and shouted to the spectators: "Everyone, let's cheer for the victor!"

"In the future, this rising star, Miss Wu Ming, will surely bring us more thrilling slaughter and more blood!"

"Praise her, chant her name!"

With these words, the audience responded with overwhelming cheers.

"Wu Ming!"

"Wu Ming!"

"Wu Ming!!!"

The arena echoed with Yun You's title.

The spectators were extremely excited, cheering one after another; some even happily took out their wallets to tip the little girl.

This was quite normal.

Even for spectators accustomed to the bloody slaughter of the arena, Yun You's fighting style was quite novel and interesting.

They rarely saw such a brutal duelist, let alone a duelist who was just a young girl not yet an adult.

"Thrilling! Satisfying! Wonderful!"

This was their thought.

And to see more fights from this girl, they were naturally willing to spend money.

"Rush..."

Watching the growing numbers in her account, Yun You scratched her head, not expecting this unexpected income.

"These bloodthirsty spectators are quite generous..."

"Seems like I'll have to come more often and earn some pocket money..."

"I can't always break Old Jin's gold."

She licked the blood on her lips and smiled a bit foolishly.

But honestly, she'd rather rest a bit than count money.

Fighting a virtual duel is really exhausting in terms of physical and mental strength.

"I'll rest for a while first, anyway, Old Jin will surely take care of things later."

Thinking this, Yun You collapsed on the ground and slowly closed her eyes.

The arena environment was quite pleasant, with sand, sunshine, and waves occasionally crashing onto the shore...

So, amid the girl's light breathing, the arena's lights gradually dimmed, seemingly to let the girl have a good sleep by dimming intentionally.

...

Watching the increasingly dark arena, Li Cang lowered his proud head, looking utterly dejected, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

"You... won."

After a long silence, Li Cang finally spoke, squeezing out the words through gritted teeth.

Facing the ironclad fact of his student's defeat, no matter how unwilling Li Cang felt, he had to honestly admit he lost.

He pulled out the expensive pistol from his pocket, trembling, and transferred ownership of the gun to Old Jin according to the contract of the previous wager.

This gun was extremely valuable, and giving it away so freely would pain even someone of Li Cang's status.

However, more than the material loss, Li Cang cared more about the defeat itself.

In the end, he couldn't make Old Jin bow his head.

"You might think that the only reason the battle was lost was that Ye Qu's purple talent ability happened to be countered by my student's white talent, right?"

Old Jin spoke for the first time, calmly, "But you're wrong, Li Cang."

"The child's ability may indeed counter the Law of Cause and Effect, but that's not entirely the deciding factor of victory or defeat."

"Believe it or not, even if their talents were swapped, or even their physiques were switched, the winner would still be that girl."

"Because she possesses a desire to win far beyond you and me, and she has the resolve to risk her life fighting."

"That's something Ye Qu could never learn from the luxurious life of Nest City's upper echelons."

Listening to Old Jin's words, Li Cang dumbfoundedly looked up, wanting to retort subconsciously, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

He might not believe other things Old Jin said, but he clearly understood that Old Jin was right about these words.

"However..."

Old Jin suddenly changed his tone, smiling, "I think there's one thing you were quite right about."

"And that is, I, actually, don't have much to teach that girl."

"To her, I might be more of a resource-providing investor than a teacher..."

"She is excellent, whether in mind or in thought, beyond what you and I can imagine. The so-called standard of talent evaluation doesn't quite apply to her..."

"She will definitely become a strong warrior, and I..."

"...just sped things up a bit."

Having said that, Old Jin fell silent, just quietly watching Yun You, with admiration... and confidence in his judgment.

His talent for judging people wasn't particularly good, and he had made many mistakes in the past.

But just this once, he had unwavering confidence in his judgment...
