Tian Buyi and Su Ru heard Zhang Xiaofan's words and sensed the tension in his voice. Unable to help worrying, they both furrowed their brows.
Only Sixth Senior Brother and Tian Linger were shouting and cheering for their respective sides.
Lu Xueqi didn't want things to end like this. She told herself that if she won two more matches, she could fulfill her dream and live up to all the years of Shuiyue True Person's guidance and expectations.
"Please instruct me!" Lu Xueqi steadied her breathing and calmed herself before bowing solemnly to Zhang Xiaofan.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan suppressed his irritation, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. Then he stepped back onto the arena and returned the salute. "Please instruct me!"
Lu Xueqi summoned Tianya with a spell. It soared into the sky, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged at Zhang Xiaofan with the force of a blade that could split mountains and cleave seas.

Everyone watching the match straightened up and craned their necks. Even Lu Xueqi, on the arena, was stunned.
"Goodness! He really can stand up to a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon!" Sixth Senior Brother's eyes widened. He Dazhi nodded, confirming his own suspicions.
"Is... is he even human?" Zeng Shuchang grabbed Tian Buyi's clothes, unable to close his mouth in astonishment.
"You said Xiaofan's left leg was injured, then healed, and became unusually sturdy! But this... this is just too incredible! That's a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon!" Su Ru grabbed Fourth Senior Brother, hoping he could give her an answer
