The latter reacted quickly as well and was just about to resist.
The icy sensation at her neck instantly cleared her mind.
"You lost."
The Blue Cat girl stiffly lowered her head.
The tip of a cold scythe had somehow already come to rest against her throat.
Following the shaft of the scythe upward, she saw a slender hand.
If this had been a life-or-death battle between enemies just now,
she would probably already be a cold corpse.
Her mind went blank. How could her opponent be this strong?
She had already achieved three consecutive victories at the Soto Great Spirit Arena.
She had originally thought she would keep winning, perhaps even earning a chance to fight in the main spirit arena.
But today's disparity dealt her an unprecedented blow.
The strength Gu Xuan had displayed far exceeded the Blue Cat girl's understanding.
She never could have imagined that her opponent was also a Soul Elder in his thirties.
Even if his Soul Power had reached level 39, the gap between them should not have been this great.
Even against a Soul Ancestor in his forties, losing this badly would have been the limit, right?
Seeing that the Blue Cat girl gave no response, Gu Xuan assumed she intended to concede.
He withdrew his scythe, lightly shook his head, and turned to walk off the stage.
Without that life-threatening pressure from before, the Blue Cat girl relaxed considerably.
But even that brief contact had left a red line of blood across her fair neck.
"Too strong. He's fucking too strong!"
The audience beneath the stage was completely dumbfounded.
Compared to the earlier uproar,
most of the spectators now seemed too shocked to speak.
They had never seen a battle between opponents of the same realm with such a huge disparity.
