Ashariyya easily defeated Heidi, then fought Blanche.
The two battled to a stalemate.
Although Blanche had a slight edge over Ashariyya in Magic Cultivation, Ashariyya didn't rely on magic alone.
Her Dou Qi Cultivation was also impressive. She had reached the level of an Eight-star Dou Practitioner and was not far from becoming a Dou Shi.
Besides, the Dark Sword Master could use Possession Magic, just like Xiaoyan Ji.

So even though Blanche's Light Magic was especially effective against Ashariyya's Dark Magic, she still didn't dare let her get close.
If they kept fighting like this, Blanche's chances of winning would be slim.
Once her magic energy ran out, she would be unable to fight, while Ashariyya would still have her Dou Qi.
But neither of them was fighting to the death, so with Dongfang Chen stepping in, they ended in a draw. They had both held back.

At last, she had met Dongfang Chen, only to find that he was far stronger than her.
That had left Blanche feeling a little down throughout their journey.
After all, she had spent so much time with Dongfang Chen that sometimes she even wondered if she really was as gifted as
