"…!"
Trayn Starchild's scalp turned numb as he saw her incoming fist blazing with her Fire Dragon Flames. Her fires condensed into a raging dragon and shot toward him, but suddenly, the space was inverted again, causing Zestria to miss him by a slight margin.
However, his offensive technique that had been forming gathered right in front of him, ready to be unleashed.
But just before he could unleash it, he saw Zestria's twisting body, the heels of her shoe heading right towards his head.
'Fuck…!'
Trayn Starchild inwardly cursed and hurriedly retreated. It was like Zestria knew that she would be flipped at this time again, bringing her foot down like an ax at him. His body turned into a ray of light before he appeared in the distance. It was his movement technique, but when he saw the scenery in front of him again, Zestria was almost upon him.
His scalp turned numb again. He had fought against Domitian Family's youths before, but they were not as domineering and frightful as Zestria, who followed him around despite his terrifying speed.
*Whoosh!~*
He instantly turned into a streak of light, keeping his distance from her.
"Fellow cultivator, let me assist you!~"
Ander Reven's voice echoed as he seemed to hurriedly condense another Sky Flipping Seal Technique.
"Bastard! Get over here and fight alongside me!" Trayn Starchild screamed, having little to no noble bearing.
It was like he was devoid of the eloquent teachings of the Starchild Family of the Astral Light Sect, appearing crass. Nevertheless, knowing that he was being used by Ander Reven, he shouted for him to come forward and face the Fire Dragon Queen.
He didn't stop for a moment, but Zestria was still on his tail, intending to punch him to ashes. Her speed was amazing, becoming more and more faster as time passed while he traveled at the same speed, slowly but surely catching up to him. Unlike the flexible wind, a light-attributed person like him could only travel in a straight line at the moment, and if he changed paths, his speed would lower before picking up again.
Therefore, he was in a similar position to Zestria's explosive speed.
However, being chased around by a woman had his face burning even before her flames could burn him.
'Fuck…! Let me lead you to him…!'
Trayn Starchild wanted to find a breaking point, and what else was better than leading Zestria to a defenseless opponent who only knew how to use mysterious techniques?
*Whoosh!~*
"Aiya!"
Ander Reven jumped in fright as he saw them heading towards him. He took out a cape that radiated spatial undulations and instantly disappeared from the scene.
"Bastard!"
Trayn Starchild cried out in grievance. It was unknown where Ander Reven had disappeared to, causing him to turn around and face Zestria, but just when he did that, a raging kick blazing with flames struck him right on his chest.
*Boom!~*
The impact sent him flying, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood. Even though it was merely a kick that was imbued with the Peak-Level Eighth Stage prowess, it caused his ribs to break and internal organs to shake. Fortunately, nothing else happened as he used his light energy to protect himself from the raging flames that tried to encroach inside.
Simultaneously, he crashed into the raging sea, submerging inside the sea currents and escaping using it.
Zestria looked at Trayn Starchild and presumed that she would be even more at a disadvantage in fighting him underwater. She turned to look around, wondering where Ander Reven went.
'The Heaven Gazing Sect's techniques are certainly supportive ones, intended to help their partners who practiced Mandate Laws as they almost never fought alone, but some people do practice offensive methods…'
Zestria mused, careful not to fall for the opponent's tricks. That baby-faced man was extremely suspicious in her mind. In the first round, she had seen his battle before, polite but playing tricks on his opponents and causing them to fall into his trap. She also knew that the Mystic Diviners possessed karmic techniques to inflict on their opponents.
However, the advantageous thing to her was that the opponent didn't have her personal belongings he could use against her. Otherwise, she knew karmic techniques would've targeted her.
"Huh…?"
Abruptly, she saw that her left sleeve had a torn part, probably disintegrated by the Focused Starlight Ray. However, she felt a sudden sense of danger.
Zestria retreated when suddenly she felt heaven and earth flipping around her.
'It's that technique again…!'
She inwardly cursed and saw the trajectory of the light that shone in her gaze before she found Ander Reven gazing at her a short distance away from her. In his hands was her robe's torn sleeve, but now, it was now marked by a rune of unknown nature.
The clothes the cultivators wear were bathing in their energy all day long. Therefore, it could be said to have more or less formed a karmic connection with the one who was wearing it, albeit an insignificant one, but it was more than enough for someone who had just obtained it to unleash a karmic technique upon the host.
*Bzzz!~*
Zestria suddenly lit up in flames, but it wasn't her flames but Ander Reven's!
The flames instantly disappeared, but now, she was bound by a fiery chain that wrapped around her, restricting her movements and even sealing her pores, disallowing her to use her energy temporarily. Moreover, she was constantly rotating from space flipping, not knowing left or right easily.

"Break!"
Still, Zestria bellowed as her energy began to surge out of her body, trying to break the chains.
The chains began to shudder, violently trembling from being unable to suppress the domineering Fire Dragon Flames!
Zestria was just about to rejoice when her pupils dilated.
Abruptly, Mid-Level Emperor Grade Talismans appeared in front of her, the runes on them illuminating in a fiery light.
*Boom!~*
Tens of talismans exploded right in front of Zestria, causing her to be engulfed in the massive explosion.
If Zestria did not lower her Body Tempering Cultivation Base, she would be absolutely safe, but now, she wouldn't be able to defend against the plethora of fire talismans exploding right in front of her face.
"So ruthless…!"
The people were shocked to see this development.
Two cultivators in the level of Vast Sea were practically ganging up against Zestria, who was also in the level of Vast Sea. Moreover, they were also using external weapons against her, even though it was within the rules.
This was too shameful.
After all, in the previous round, it was cultivators with Abundant Sea who ganged up on cultivators with Vast Sea, and that was understandable considering the difference, but this kind of display, especially against a woman, had them feeling second-hand embarrassment.
It would be even more embarrassing if they did not actually defeat her even after this, but they all hoped that she unsealed her cultivation, allowing her to defend against the talismans.
In fact, Ander Reven's intent had been the same. He wanted her to use her true Body Tempering Cultivation so that she would be disqualified.
Indeed, when he saw Zestria's robe intact amidst the dissipating smoke, a sigh of relief escaped his mouth. Fortunately, she wasn't stubborn enough to endure that attack with her current cultivation.
However, his expression froze as he saw her undulations remain the same. The people were also shocked to see her survive that onslaught of restrictive chains and explosions as they looked at Zestria blazing with intense flames surrounding her body in the form of two draconic wings.
Clearly, she had used a defensive technique, but its undulations were strange, being a mix of essence energy and martial energy at the Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage.
"Did you honestly think that I would need my true Body Tempering Cultivation to defeat you two?"
Zestria scoffed.
Just her Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage Cultivation was enough to defend against these many talismans, but with those chains restricting her, she had also used her essence energy to defend. It was just she felt using martial energy and essence energy against these two opponents was bullying them that she didn't deign to use it, but she was proven wrong.
Her current martial energy may not be strong as her essence energy but combined, they were more than enough for her to overcome her dire straits.
*Whoosh!~*
Zestria shot through the rainy skies, tiny compressions of explosions ringing beneath her shoes as she arrived in front of the shocked Ander Reven in an instant.
"Falling Meteor of the Fire Dragon!"
*Bang!~*
Crimson gold martial energy surged before a kick clearly landed on Ander Reven's body, causing him to be sent flying. However, he was clearly worse than Trayn Starchild, directly fainting from the immense pain wracking his body after he spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries were even worse, his heart almost having stopped beating for a moment from the impact.
A spatial disturbance appeared right where he was going to crash before it sent him out.
Evidently, Ander Reven was defeated by Zestria.
"Woah!!!"
The people were shocked before they roared for Zestria. She had executed a reversal that they thought she wouldn't be able to do against the onslaught of two others of the same realm as her, but clearly, her prowess had been still superior despite being in the same Vast Sea level.
"Come out, Trayn Starchild! We'll end this…!"
Zestria turned to look at the raging sea below and demanded. However, he was nowhere to be seen, and the sea was dark, not letting her have a clear view of where he could be hiding. Clearly, if he hadn't shown up even now, he was recuperating from his injuries.
In the sea, Trayn Starchild was hiding beneath a giant reef, healing with his light energy. However, his gaze was trembling in nervousness. The way he thought, that stupid Ander Reven had enraged Zestria. Otherwise, she wouldn't be dealing a heavy blow like that to a baby-faced bastard whom everyone would feel pity for at a glance.
'What the hell…? Now she's using both her essence and martial energy… My Body Tempering Cultivation is only at Low-Level Martial Sage Stage… I wouldn't be able to match her strength even if I use my blood essence…'
As the son of the Starnova Emperor, he had the resources to cultivate towards the Martial Sage Stage. However, it was still not a match to the natural improvement rate of the Dragon Families. Unless he had a significant advantage over her, he couldn't see a path to victory.
Zestria waited for five breaths after bellowing. After that, she moved, wanting to enter the sea to battle Trayn Starchild, but she stopped, looking at him to appear above the sea's surface as the ray of light vanished, replaced with his figure.
"I clearly don't have a chance to win… so I give up…"
Trayn Starchild shrugged while Zestria closely watched his expression before a satisfied smirk appeared behind her veil.
"Good!"
