“Oh? It's them?” Dustin was surprised and raised an eyebrow when he saw Aurora and Crystal step onto the
battle ring.
He knew they had signed up for the tournament, but he hadn't expected them to face off against each other.
One was a skilled disciple of the Sword Union, while the other was the daughter of the Celestial Alliance’s
guildmaster, Alloy.
This elite showdown between two major guilds would be quite a spectacle.
“Fenley, do you think Aurora has a shot at winning?” Alicia asked suddenly.
He shook his head and replied, “It’s hard to say.”
He continued, “Aurora’s opponent isn’t someone to underestimate. If I'm not mistaken, she’s a Sword Union
disciple. Her sharp gaze and strong presence suggest her cultivation is quite advanced.”
“A Sword Union disciple? That sounds like trouble,” Alicia said, frowning.
Despite their small numbers, members of the Sword Union were carefully hand -picked elites. They shouldn't be
underestimated, regardless of age or gender.
In the past, there was a conflict between the Celestial Alliance and the Sword Union. This left many Celestial
Alliance members with lingering psychological trauma. The mere mention of the Sword Union made them wary.
Aurora already stood out among her peers with her remarkable talent honed through dedicated training under
Alloy. Alicia knew her sister could easily defeat ordinary martial artists, but confronting a disciple of the Sword
Union presented a much tougher challenge.
“With a stunning beauty on each side, today’s match is absolutely thrilling.”
“One’s fiery, and the other's icy. Both are stunning in their own unique way. | can’t pick between them. It's a
tough decision.”

“Do you think this is a beauty contest? Get real! Do you really think you have a shot with women like them? Take
a good look at yourself in the mirror.”
Aurora and Crystal's entrance stirred the spectators into a frenzy. The young men, in particular, couldn’t contain
their excitement. They openly declare their love.
Female martial artists were already rare, and such beauties were even more uncommon, Each of them alone
would have attracted attention. But two gorgeous women were about to face off in the battle ring, which drew
even more attention.
Many were eager to see these beauties in action. Seven hoped for a spectacle that would be a feast for
their eyes. With that anticipation, the spectators grew excited.
“I'm Aurora Marshall from the Celestial Alliance.” After stepping into the battle ring, Aurora nodded respectfully
toward Crystal, who stood opposite her.
Aurora was dressed in a red outfit, her hair tied back in a ponytail. She looked incredibly sharp and confident.
Her smile made many of the male spectators’ hearts race.
“Con, everyone! It's a beauty showdown! This rare event calls for your bets!” Abigail shouted
enthusiastically from below the battle ring.
Upon hearing her call, the crowd rushed forward to place their bets to support their favorite contestants.
The vibrant scene left Abigail beaming. It was clear that the appeal of beautiful contestants was a powerful draw.
She made a mental note to use this strategy more in the future.
“Ruby, should we place our bet too?” Miles, seated in the audience, felt restless. He had becaddicted to
gambling and felt uneasy whenever he skipped placing a bet. Past losses had made him more cautious.
“Of course we should!” she exclaimed confidently. “We should support Crystal.”
She grabbed a small bag of celestial stones and approached the outdoor betting table. Slamming it down, she
shouted, “Number 22, all in!”
“Huh? All in?” Miles was shocked. His eyes were twitching. He had meticulously saved up celestial stones, and
staking everything felt like a daring gamble.
“Miles, what are you waiting for? Place your bet!” Ruby urged. She had unwavering confidence in Crystal.
“Okay. I'll bet...” His voice trailed off. He hesitantly pulled a handful of celestial stones from his bag and placed
them on Number 22.
“Is that it? Don’t you trust Crystal?” Ruby frowned, clearly annoyed.
