"Outrageous!" Lan QiRen bursted out as he shot up from his seat upon hearing Wen RiLuo's proposal.

"The nerves of her-!" Nie MingJue growled as he clenched on his sabre.

Jiang FengMian frowned in disgruntlement while Jin GuangShan smiles in amusement as he flaps his fan.

Voices of disapproval or of interest echoed around the arena but that was put to a stop when suddenly, a furious cry erupted from the arena.

Nie MingJian couldn't hold onto her self-control anymore and without warnings, charged forward as she aimed her fist toward the relaxed Wen princess.

"Eager, are we?" Wen RiLuo smirked before blocking the punch nonchalantly as Nie MingJian glared into her eyes, her waving away the announcer when he was about to butt in. "I guess you need more training, Pup."

"You-!" Nie MingJian snarled before letting out a choked gasp as she was kneed into the stomach, sending her flying back.

"A-Qiao!" Wei WuHui called out as she quickly rushed over to stood in the direction of Nie MingJian and let the latter's body collide with her's as both of them skidded back, mere inches from touching the circle.

"A-Qiao! A-Yang!" Lan ChunTao exclaimed worriedly before gasping as she barely dodged a punch directed at her head before blocking the other fist as she glared into Wen RiLuo's eyes.

However, Lan ChunTao released a startled yelp when she felt herself being pulled forward forcefully.

Wen RiLuo smirked, her palm nearing Lan ChunTao's stomach when suddenly she felt a shadow looming over her and luckily blocked a knee kick from Wei WuHui with her elbow, letting the female Lan to escape her grasp.

"Heh, guess I got my hands full." Wen RiLuo remarked nonchalantly as Wei WuHui glared at her before back-flipping away in mid-air, joining back with Nie MingJian and Lan ChunTao.

"It's like Wen RiLuo is playing with them." Jiang Cheng stated.

Wei WuXian nodded in agreement. "It's going to be a tough battle."

"Wen Gū-Niang's marital arts skill are on par with Lan-Gu Niang's, she's going to be a strong opponent for them to beat." Nie HuaiSang pointed it out.

"Well? Come at it, puppies." Wen RiLuo declared, spreading her arms out as she smirked arrogantly toward the female disciples.

"Arrogant son of a bitch." Nie MingJian grunted, wiping a bit of her saliva off of her lip as she stood up.

"What should we do? What is the plan here?" Wei WuHui asked.

"We just have to stick together, there's no point in us fighting against her individual-MMPH!" A hand suddenly appeared from the above and grabbed Lan ChunTao's face while the second hand did the same with Nie MingJian's face.

"Heh." Wen RiLuo smirked and with tremulous strength and flexibility, she twisted her body in mid-air, flinging the two captured females away in the process as everyone in the audience stared in bewilderment at the sudden surprise attack.

"A-Qiao, Dàjiě!" Wei WuHui shouted, her eyes trailed over to where her sworn sisters lied after being thrown before turning her glare over to Wen RiLuo, her defence immediately up. 'She just threw them away like they were rag-dolls'

"Come on Wei WuHui, show me what you got to offer!" Wen RiLuo proclaimed gleefully and with that, charged forward as she threw a punch at Wei WuHui, the latter barely blocking it in time before blocking again from Wen RiLuo's axe kick.

Wei WuHui winced from the burning pain in her arms as she gritted her teeth before grabbing Wen RiLuo's leg and swinging her around and throwing her away.

Unfortunately, Wen RiLuo managed to right her body in mid-air and landed on the ground before her foot could touch the red circle. However, her crimson eyes didn't expect Wei WuHui to quickly retaliate as the latter appeared right behind her from the dust cloud and wrapped her arms around Wen RiLuo's waist before picking her up and slamming her backward.

White covers her whole sight as Wen RiLuo choked out saliva, her ears ringing loudly as her body aches from the throw.

Wei WuHui panted heavily, her body slowly reaching to exhaustion. Sweats dripping from her forehead.

"Wow, what tremendous strength." Nie HuaiSang commented from behind his fan.

"Mèimei is reaching her limits..." Wei WuXian frowned worriedly as his hands were clenched into fists from the suspense.

"XiongZhang..." Lan Zhan spoke as his eyes trained on his sister worriedly.

Lan XiChen nodded, frowning as well. "I know, WangJi. I know."

"I-Is she down for good?" Nie MingJian groaned as she walked toward Wei WuHui with Lan ChunTao's arm around her shoulder.

"I don't know." Wei WuHui replied, eyeing the motionless body of Wen RiLuo's but she noticed how calm the Wen announcer was feeling as he just surveyed the competition.

"Hehehe..." the trio immediately stiffened upon hearing the gleeful chuckles as they turned to the female Wen, seeing her body lightly shaking from her laughter.

"How exciting this has comes!" Wen RiLuo proclaimed with a big grin as she continued laying on the ground. "I knew the moment I laid my eyes on you, it was fate!"

The three female disciples watched as Wen RiLuo pulled herself up without signs of pain after the blows that she went through. Her crazed, crimson eyes staring at them but it was more directed on Wei WuHui, who shuddered uncomfortably.

"Heh," Wen RiLuo let out before she disappeared from her spot.

"Wha-?" Wei WuHui couldn't even finish her sentence when suddenly, all she could see in her view was white and red in front of her before she felt a moist pressure applied onto her own lip.

Her eyes widened in sheer horror as she stared into the crimson hues that looked at her with blissful glee.

Everyone in the audience plus Lan ChunTao and Nie MingJian all stared in utter disbelief at the sight before them.

"...EHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
