Ling Tian fell into hesitation. He hadn't expected Yugong Yui to volunteer.
Ling Tian wasn't entirely sure of Yugong Yui's strength. Although the girl had a seemingly endless supply of tricks, he recalled how thoroughly she had been suppressed by Yodick that day, nearly losing her life. This indicated she lacked sufficient combat experience.
The old man opposite him, with his peculiar demeanor, clearly appeared formidable.
Just then, A Li suddenly transmitted a message to Ling Tian: "Ling Tian, if you refuse, Yui will be very sad.
Don't worry, let her fight. I'll be nearby to protect her at all times!"
Ling Tian was taken aback. A Li's words seemed so reasonable that he found himself unable to refute them.
It was said that a woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her. While Yugong Yui hadn't dressed herself up beautifully, her desire to perform well in front of him was unconcealed.
Ling Tian, though not a womanizer, possessed a fatal weakness: he couldn't refuse exceptionally outstanding girls.
After a long moment, Ling Tian nodded.
"Yui, you can go on, but I have one condition: you must protect yourself well. If you're truly outmatched, prioritize your own safety!"
Ling Tian remembered the first time he met Yui, when she had even used her body to block an attack to protect Ying Cao.
Such a personality and way of doing things could lead to her own demise.
"Understood!"
Yugong Yui responded and walked to the center of the arena. Her steps were even lighter than usual.
The old man opposite her looked at Yugong Yui with a thoroughly disdainful expression.
"A beautiful young girl, instead of staying home to raise a family, comes here to die. What are you thinking?
But it doesn't matter. In a moment, you'll be reduced to a bloody mess. How annoying, cleaning up such filth is such a waste of time..."
Gongshu Huai, with his eccentric manner, didn't even spare Yugong Yui a proper glance. He clearly didn't take her seriously.
Yugong Yui was furious. Yui was a very amiable person. The young girl had initially intended to greet the old man properly. Even as opponents, basic courtesy was expected. To her surprise, the old man completely disregarded her, making Yui very angry!
A magatama appeared in Yui's hand, followed by the ringing of the bells on her person. In the next instant, a sturdy figure materialized before Yui.
This figure stood over two meters tall, with a pair of horns on its head and only one eye. It was the monster Yamawaro that Yugong Yui had summoned some days ago.
The Yamawaro now appeared to be completely healed, still holding its massive wooden club.
When a woman gets angry, the consequences can be severe. Yugong Yui directly issued an attack order to the Yamawaro, and the spirit raised its club, charging towards Gongsun Li.
"This piece of trash thinks it can do anything to me!" Gongshu Huai sneered. He suddenly raised his hand, and the puppet behind him, carrying a giant wooden case, directly placed the case upright on the arena. Then, the puppet retrieved a Guan Dao from behind the case!
"Heh heh heh, let you all experience the might of my Overlord Puppet!"
It turned out this puppet, entirely made of metal and possessing immense strength, was named Overlord!
The Overlord Puppet gripped the Guan Dao with both hands, blocking Gongshu Huai, and then charged towards the Yamawaro.
Gongshu Huai raised his hand and sat down on the wooden case on the ground, looking as if he were sitting on a coffin.
In the blink of an eye, the Overlord Puppet and the Yamawaro collided. The Yamawaro swung its wooden club, smashing it forward. The club, though appearing to be made of wood, was as hard as metal and even more resilient.
The Overlord Puppet, without hesitation, swung its Guan Dao. The two weapons directly clashed.
"Dong!"
The impact of the two weapons didn't produce the sound of ordinary metal colliding, but a dull thud. Accompanied by this sound, the onlookers even felt a shockwave emanating from the point of impact. Those sitting tens of meters away could feel extreme discomfort in their eardrums!
At this moment, both Yugong Yui and Gongshu Huai were somewhat surprised. The immense power displayed by their opponent's summoned creature had exceeded both their expectations.
The Yamawaro was forced back two steps, while the Overlord Puppet, though unmoving, had several of the floor tiles beneath its feet shattered.
The Yamawaro raised its wooden club and swept it horizontally, continuing its attack on the Overlord Puppet. The Overlord Puppet responded in kind, its Guan Dao also sweeping forward. The two immensely powerful monsters engaged in battle!
The surrounding spectators were all astonished. The destructive power of these two behemoths was truly terrifying. Forget humans; even several elephants and rhinoceroses would likely be unable to separate them.
Just then, Ling Tian transmitted a message to the bewildered Yugong Yui. Although the little girl had many tricks up her sleeve, she didn't know how to fight. After summoning the Yamawaro, she had simply stood there傻呵呵地.
"Yui, end this quickly. Use all your trump cards, the longer it drags on, the more complications arise!"
Ling Tian's words awakened Yugong Yui from her daze. She quickly took out another magatama and shook the bells on her chest.
As the bells rang, the crowd heard a series of chirping sounds. Beside Yui, a very strange monster appeared. It was actually two creatures: a large toad with a body length of half a meter at the bottom, and on top of the toad, a small white rabbit.
The rabbit looked very cute, like a plush toy. The patterns on its body resembled magatamas. Clearly, this was no ordinary spirit, but a mountain rabbit, a rabbit that had achieved sentience, riding a mount!
Yugong Yui pointed at Gongshu Huai and the Overlord Puppet opposite them, issuing commands to the mountain rabbit. The little rabbit nodded very humanely and then began to hop on top of the giant toad, its movements resembling a shamanistic dance.
The rabbit was quite noisy, emitting chirping sounds as if it were singing opera! It was a garrulous rabbit.
"Hmph, putting on a show. I'll stew you into rabbit heads later!"
