For a moment, everyone started to wonder if what the Redflame Beast said was true. They were all waiting for Shen Yanxiao’s response.
Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m not that weak. I don’t need Vermilion Bird’s protection. So what if I’m an Advanced-level Professional? If you were to let your master be defeated by me, wouldn’t that mean you’re incapable?”
Shen Yanxiao admitted it!!
Everyone was struck dumb.
The Second-Class Expert in their minds had suddenly become an Advanced-level Professional. Wasn’t the difference too huge?
They were all waiting for Shen Yanxiao to summon her Phantom Beast to broaden their horizons. But now, their hopes had been dashed.
As a result, Shen Yanxiao would now be at a disadvantage when fighting against Duan Hen. In terms of personal strength and mythical beasts, Duan Hen was superior in both aspect.
Those who originally had some hopes for Shen Yanxiao were thoroughly disappointed.
Even Duan Hen’s expression was somewhat odd. He had obtained information about Shen Yanxiao from Elder Wen. When he met with Shen Yanxiao at the Falling Moon Pond, he clearly sensed an aura that was much stronger than his. That was clearly the strength of a Second-Class Expert.
However, Shen Yanxiao’s aura was much weaker today. She was indeed at the level of an Advanced-level Professional.
It had only been ten days, so why did Shen Yanxiao’s strength suddenly drop?
Elder Wen, who was standing outside, was about to go crazy with joy. When he thought about how ‘Shen Yanxiao’ had an imperious appearance when he shamelessly discussed with Shen Yanxiao to postpone the fight ten days ago, he was already angered to the extent he wanted to vomit blood. But right now, this Second-Class Expert had somehow become an Advanced-level Professional. Wasn’t that basically announcing Duan Hen’s victory?
Elder Wen almost jumped up and applauded. The ten-day wait was really worth it!
“You will know very soon if I am incompetent.” The Redflame Beast narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Yanxiao. He was just like a wild beast that was filled with aggression.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.” Shen Yanxiao remained calm, but Vermilion Bird’s voice sounded in her mind.
“I will protect you!”
Shen Yanxiao smiled.
When the bell rang, the fight between Duan Hen and Shen Yanxiao officially began!
Almost at the same time, the Redflame Beast and Vermilion Bird transformed into their beast forms. The two massive beasts covered in flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire venue. Looking from afar, it was as if the entire venue was burning.
The size of mythical beasts was too large so a small stagelike this was not enough to accommodate two mythical beasts. Therefore, after their transformation, Vermilion Bird and the Redflame Beast had reached a consensus to shrink their physique.
Only mythical-level magical beasts could freely control their physique.
The two mythical beasts had shrunk their bodies to accommodate the size of the stage, but they were still huge. There was very little space for Shen Yanxiao and Duan Hen to display their abilities on the stage.
The Redflame Beast was a land-based magical beast while Vermilion Bird was a flying magical beast. However, there was a clear rule in the tournament stating that a flying magical beast was not allowed to fly out of the arena’s range. As a result, the area where Vermilion Bird could move around seemed exceptionally narrow.
After the two mythical beasts transformed, they released flames at the other party at the same time.
The raging flames instantly engulfed the entire stage.
The spectators were in an uproar. Even though they were still some distance away from the stage, they could still feel the boiling heat.
