The first two contestants to take the field were Yang Wenzhao of the Knight Temple and Bai Xiaomo of the Soul Temple. Under the referee's direction, they had taken their positions and were ready to begin.
It was worth mentioning that Bai Xiaomo was the annoying little sister Bai Xiaoxing had spoken of.
At the referee's signal, Yang Wenzhao drew his twin swords and charged straight toward Bai Xiaomo.
As Bai Xiaoxing's sister, Bai Xiaomo was naturally a Plant Summoner as well. Holding a slender green staff, she rapidly chanted an incantation while constantly backing away, trying to buy herself as much casting time as possible.
Moments later, vast patches of thorns sprang up across the space between her and Yang Wenzhao, completely concealing her from view. Yang Wenzhao had no choice but to stop charging and cut a path with his Twin Swords, drastically slowing his advance.
While Yang Wenzhao continued pushing forward, however, Bai Xiaomo completed another spell behind the thorns.
A huge flower covered in spikes suddenly sprouted from the thorn forest in the arena.
Whoosh!
The enormous red flower whipped violently, launching dozens of red spikes over a foot long straight at Yang Wenzhao.
Clang, clang, clang, clang! Yang Wenzhao's gaze sharpened, and his Twin Swords danced, blocking every last needle.
But Bai Xiaomo had already finished another incantation. Plants resembling pea shooters appeared behind the thorn forest, firing green peas the size of human heads at Yang Wenzhao like cannonballs.
Watching from the contestants' seats, Yue Chen sank into thought.
These siblings really do each have their own style, Yue Chen marveled inwardly.
If the younger sister, Bai Xiaomo, was an artillery mage, then her brother, Bai Xiaoxing, was a little bastard who hid in the shadows-underground-and struck people when they least expected it.
