She concealed her disappointment and left calmly. 4 5

After Chen Wei successfully contracted the Cold Jade Snake that had rejected her, Yu Xiumin encouraged him as he entered the valley. 5

By the Apprentice Arena Champion Challenge, she had contracted a Blue Frost Ice Falcon. She faced Chen Wei in the final match for his tenth consecutive victory. 43 44
