True Form!!

Blue Whale's massive dragon-whale head slowly lowered.

The composure and majesty in his deep-blue eyes were gone, replaced by killing intent so sharp it seemed tangible.

Beside him, Whale Kill, another Eighth-Rank Grandmaster, gritted his teeth.

"That useless Black Whale!"

"When Canghai sent word, he specifically mentioned Qin Yan! He said the boy was extraordinarily gifted and could well become a threat to our clan!

"But what did Black Whale do? That fool only had eyes for Xiao Shan's granddaughter. He dismissed the Human Clan brat as an afterthought!

"If he'd killed Qin Yan back then, we wouldn't be facing this threat today!"

Blue Whale said nothing. His gaze only grew colder.

There was no point talking about it now.

"Blue Whale."

Xiao Shan's voice came from the Human Clan's side at just the right moment, as calm as still water. "Send out your second fighter."

Blue Whale fell silent for a moment, then called out across the Sea Clan ranks, "Long Zhan, take the stage!"

A moment later, a figure far taller and more powerfully built than Long Ming stepped onto the arena.

He was more than a size larger than Long Ming, his dark-blue scales gleaming coldly in the pearly light.

He, too, carried a Sea Halberd, but his was larger and heavier than Long Ming's.

Each of Long Zhan's steps landed with the weight of a mountain, sending a dull echo through the crystal floor.

He looked at Qin Yan, whose aura remained calm and whose clothes were not even disheveled. There was no trace of contempt in his eyes—only unprecedented gravity and a blazing will to fight.

"Long Zhan!" He slammed his Sea Halberd into the floor, his voice booming. "Show me what you've got!"

"Qin Yan." Qin Yan gave a slight nod, his tone even.
