Leisijing vs. Ninisha

"Hmm? Leisijing? You actually felt willing to let him out?"

Hope couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the bald youth appear on the stage. He was, of course, no stranger to the boy's identity; he was the only precious son of Zijing, the second Amethyst Divine Beast, Leisijing.

Leisijing was the second Amethyst Divine Beast in the world, born from Zijing Sovereign's own bloodline and a Soul Stone. He broke the law that only one Super Divine Beast could exist at a time, and could be called the apple of Zijing Sovereign's eye.

Because of this, when Leisijing was young, Zijing had always protected him with extreme caution, never allowing him to leave the Amethyst Mountain Range, even when Leisijing's strength had already reached the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

In the eyes of many Sovereigns, Zijing Sovereign was a mother who was overly cautious and protective of her son, completely the opposite of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign.

The Four Divine Beasts Sovereign let their children go out and roam freely, unafraid of offending anyone, as the four of them would shoulder any problems that arose, which fostered an arrogant and domineering character throughout the entire Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Leisijing had lived in the Amethyst Mountain Range since he was a child and was not allowed to go out without permission; his interpersonal relationships were simple, and he had basically never offended anyone.

"Jingjing only recently fused four profound mysteries of the Laws of the Earth, so he needs a few battles to consolidate his strength. Besides, this Ninisha's strength isn't enough to threaten him; she can serve as a whetstone."

Zijing looked at the excited Jingjing and answered with a faint smile. As for Leisijing, she was so protective she feared he would melt if held in her mouth; she usually didn't allow him to go out, which had even led to arguments with the rebellious Jingjing.

In the end, Zijing Sovereign agreed that every time Leisijing fused another profound mystery, she would take him out to travel for a period of time and let him participate in some battles to stabilize his cultivation.

Therefore, the bored Leisijing, who had spent hundreds of millions of years in idleness, set aside his desire for play and threw himself into cultivation. His Laws of Destruction and Laws of the Earth progressed by leaps and bounds. The last time he went out was when his Destruction clone reached the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

This time, Leisijing's Laws of the Earth had also fused four profound mysteries, and combined with his talent as a Super Divine Beast, he definitely had the strength of a Prefect. Thus, Zijing Sovereign had brought him out once again.

"Oh? You think Ninisha is no match for Leisijing?"

Hope's tone carried a hint of mockery as he looked at Zijing with a half-smile. As a Sovereign who had observed Ninisha for a long time, Hope had long ago judged from certain details that Ninisha was hiding her strength.

What Ninisha had displayed so far was only the strength of someone who had fused four profound mysteries, but her true strength must have already reached the Five-Fusion level, or even approached six.

Moreover, as someone with the aptitude of a Paragon, Ninisha's application of techniques was far beyond what Leisijing could compare to. She likely had special ultimate moves she had researched herself. If she brought out those ultimate moves, the current Leisijing might not be her opponent.

"Hmm? The Sovereign thinks more highly of Ninisha?"

Zijing Sovereign was slightly stunned, then her eyes revealed a scrutinizing gaze as she looked at Ninisha's figure, her brows knitting slightly.

"Let us wait and see."

Hope took a light sip of tea and then said no more, simply observing the Battle Arena quietly.

At this moment, the two on the Battle Arena were confronting each other, neither moving first.

"Remember, my name is Leisijing! I am a future powerful Purgatory Commander!"

A smile appeared on the bald youth's face as he nodded slightly to Ninisha. With a movement of his right hand, a long purple spear appeared in his hand.

This was a Highgod Artifact refined from the ores of the Amethyst Mountain Range, not a Sovereign Artifact. Although the children of Sovereigns could unconditionally obtain a Sovereign Artifact, Leisijing and Zijing had an agreement that he would not use one while out training; after all, it would be too boring if a battle with a Sovereign Artifact was one-sided.

"Hmph!"

Ninisha narrowed her eyes and let out a cold snort. A blue-purple longsword surrounded by electric light appeared, emitting the sound of flowing current.

"This guy looks so carefree. Since that's the case, I won't hold back!"

Ninisha thought for a moment, and her figure suddenly vanished, as if lightning had dissipated from the sky.

"Hmm?"

The playful smile on Leisijing's face vanished, his body tensed instantly, and a purple shimmer belonging to a divine beast flashed in his eyes.

"Swish!"

The next moment, Ninisha's figure suddenly appeared, flashing past behind Leisijing. She thrust her blue-purple longsword out; it looked unremarkable, as if it were just a very ordinary strike.

However, Leisijing felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. The spear in his hand lifted at high speed, and at the same time, a layer of purple ripples appeared on the surface of his body.

"Boom~~"

The moment the blue-purple longsword collided with the spear, a terrifying golden current of lightning erupted, enveloping Leisijing's body in an instant. The purple halo on Leisijing's body emitted bursts of roaring sounds.

Laws of Thunder, Profundity of Lightning Speed attack--Purple Lightning Current!

"Such a strong attack!"

Leisijing was shocked, instantly feeling a strong sense of numbness traveling from the tip of his spear into his body. It gave him a terrifying impact, stronger than the impact he felt when sparring with his good brother Leihong.

"Sizzle~~"

A layer of earthy-yellow halo suddenly emerged from the ground, and a strong sense of pressure erupted. Ninisha's body shook slightly, and a huge repulsive force acted upon her, causing her figure to pause for a moment.

Amethyst Divine Beast innate ability--Amethyst Space!

Leisijing used Amethyst Space without hesitation, then retreated at high speed, widening the distance between the two. At the same time, the purple ripples on his body emitted a dazzling light to resist the lightning attack.

"Hmm? This move... this Ninisha was hiding her strength?"

Inside the restaurant, Zijing Sovereign couldn't help but cry out softly when she saw this scene.

With her keen eyes, she could see at a glance that Ninisha's attack just now was definitely not something a Seven-Star Fiend who had fused four profound mysteries could achieve. In other words, Ninisha's true strength had already reached the Asura level.

"Ninisha's intuition is very sharp. Once she realized Leisijing wasn't simple, she didn't intend to keep hiding. However, she still underestimated Leisijing's talent."

Hope put down the teacup in his hand, his tone calm and unruffled, as if all of this was within his expectations.

"Does the Sovereign still think Ninisha will win?"

After a moment of surprise, Zijing returned to a calm state and began to chat with Hope.

At least for now, in Zijing Sovereign's eyes, Ninisha had no chance of winning. Although Ninisha's Laws and Profound Mysteries surpassed Jingjing's, she lacked special talents.

With the innate ability, Innate Divine Ability, and the enhancement to soul and body that Leisijing possessed as an Amethyst Divine Beast, it was enough to make up for the gap between fusing four profound mysteries and five, and in turn, defeat his opponent. This was the confidence of a Super Divine Beast; at least as a mother, Zijing did not see any possibility of Leisijing failing at the moment.

However, Zijing still opened her eyes slightly, watching the situation on the Battle Arena closely. After all, the Sovereign of Water would certainly not speak without reason; Ninisha must have some special aspect that she hadn't noticed.

Just as Hope and Zijing were chatting, inside the Battle Arena, Leisijing had already distanced himself from Ninisha. The boy's original playful expression was gone, replaced by a touch of solemnity.
