Wang Ruyue looked at her opponent on the other side of the arena. Jin Jiali was another young genius like her. Although her cultivation base was similar, Jin Jiali was several years older than Wang Ruyue. Because of that, Wang Ruyue was more famous and considered even more potent than Jin Jiali.

On the other hand, Jin Jiali had a great rivalry with Wang Ruyue and wanted to show who the best female genius in Beijing was. So, she is looking forward to this match because it will be a stage for her to prove it.

Jin Zhaohui raised her eyebrows when he saw that one of the participants in the arena was Jin Jiali. Of course, he knew her because she was a princess of the Jin family and also his grand-niece. But Jin Zhaohui had to be professional and fair in the match. Therefore, he only smiled at her. Jin Zhaohui was curious how his grand-niece would go up against the genius from the Wang family.

"Are you ready?" Jin Zhaohui looked at Jin Jiali and then at Wang Ruyue.

"Yes, I'm ready."

"You can start anytime."

The two girls nodded and responded at almost the same time. Wang Ruyue chose a sword as his weapon, while Jin Jiali was a whip.

"Then the match begins!" Jin Zhaohui announced the start of the match in the first round.

Wang Ruyue attacked first and narrowed her distance from Jin Jiali because she knew she would be at a disadvantage if she had a long-range battle with her. Wang Ruyue knew the weaknesses of whip users. They need space to use their weapons, and their attacks are slow. But before getting any closer, she saw that Jin Jiali's whip was already in front of her.

Wang Ruyue quickly twisted her body to dodge the attack. The whip hit the arena and damaged it.

Boom!

"Huh!" Wang Ruyue was shocked when she saw that. The arena was solid rock, but Jin Jiali's whip could easily damage it. In addition, the attacks are fast and unreasonable. That showed that Jin Jiali's attacks were dangerous. Fortunately, Wang Ruyue reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have been injured by the whip.

"You're great at dodging my attacks! But can you avoid the next one!?" Jin Jiali smiled and cracked her whip again.

Wang Ruyue frowned because Jin Jiali's attacks were fast, unlike the average whip user. Moreover, he saw a golden glow shrouding his weapon. Wang Ruyue slashed out her sword and parried Jin Jiali's attack.

Clank!

"Did you combine the Golden Roc Technique with your weapon?" Wang Ruyue felt her sword vibrate after clashing with the whip. She narrowed her eyes at the golden light that enveloped Jin Jiali's whip and the damaged stone floor. Wang Ruyue was sure that it was related to the practice of the Jin family.

"You are indeed a genius. You can quickly identify the reason behind my attack power. You are right. I use the Golden Roc Technique with my whip." Jin Jiali answered honestly.

The Golden Roc Technique is the core practice of the Jin family. After training it to a certain degree, the user's strength would increase drastically, mainly their speed. But Jin Jiali used that Golden Roc Technique on her weapon. She made her whip harden like metal and increased its speed.

"It's very kind of you to tell me that. Aren't you afraid I might learn the secret of your technique and counterattack?" Wang Ruyue asked in confusion.

"You won't be able to counterattack even if you already know about it." Jin Jiali said confidently and cracked her whip again.

Wang Ruyue's face sunk as Jin Jiali's attacks became faster than before. She quickly dodged the attack, and the battle arena floor shattered every time the whip hit it. Even though the attack did not hit Wang Ruyue, her clothes were slightly torn from the impact.

Boom! boom! Boom!

"Is that so?" Wang Ruyue smiled and ran her practice, the Celestial Moonlight Scripture. After that, her body was enveloped with silver light. Wang Ruyue's speed increased, and she easily avoided Jin Jiali's whip.

"My attack isn't over yet!" Jin Jiali turned serious when she saw the silver light that enveloped Wang Ruyue. She rotated her whip rapidly in a clockwise direction, and a small tornado was created in the battle arena with her as the center. Her attack generated a gale of wind around her and reached the audience seats.

"What is this!?"

"Is this the power of Miss Jin?"

The spectators were shocked after their vision was disturbed by the strong wind. They couldn't see the fight between Wang Ruyue and Jin Jiali.

Wang Ruyue's face changed when she saw that scene. The tornado in the arena made it difficult for her to attack Jin Jiali. A whip suddenly appeared from its center as she thought of a way to deal with it. Wang Ruyue quickly parried the attack but was knocked back several steps.

"What!?" Wang Ruyue was startled because she felt Jin Jiali's attack was becoming more and more powerful. She was confused by her opponent's sudden increase in strength.

Attack after attack came from the center of the tornado without giving Wang Ruyue time to catch her breath and counterattack. But after quite some time, Wang Ruyue finally discovered why Jin Jiali's strength increased.

"You used the tornado to accelerate and strengthen your whip?" Wang Ruyue asked as she continued to run around the arena to find the tornado's weak point and counterattack on Jin Jiali.

"So what if you found out? You won't be able to attack me. Instead, I can freely crack my whip at you." Jin Jiali said and attacked Wang Ruyue again.

"You are overestimating your strength. I want to fight with you longer. Unfortunately, I must go to another arena to watch someone's match." Wang Ruyue smiled gently when she remembered Tenku's face. Then her eyes became serious and determined.

Wang Ruyue dashed towards the whip that came attacking her. Jin Jiali, Jin Zhaohui, and the spectators were confused when they saw her action. But before it hit, Wang Ruyue twisted her body and stabbed the whip into the arena with her sword.

Jin Zhaohui and the spectators looked in awe at Wang Ruyue's sword's precision and managed to hit the tip of Jin Jiali's whip.

"What!?" Jin Jiali was startled and tried to pull back the whip. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it.

Wang Ruyue let go of her sword stuck in the arena along with Jin Jiali's whip. Then she circulated the Qi in both palms and held the other half of the whip. After that, Wang Ruyue pulled with full force, and Jin Jiali came out from the center of the tornado.

"Ugh!" Jin Jiali was too late to let go of her weapon when Wang Ruyue pulled her whip. She was prepared to fight hand-to-hand against Wang Ruyue, but she was shocked when the other party suddenly appeared in front of her and punched her while she was still in the air.

Wang Ruyue had no intention of letting her land in the arena. Jin Jiali couldn't dodge her attacks in her current situation and could only defend herself. But Wang Ruyue's punch came first and hit her stomach.

"Arghh!" Jin Jiali groaned in pain and was blown away several meters. But she quickly stabilized her body and landed nicely on the arena.

Jin Jiali intended to counterattack. But before she could do so, she felt a chill from the metal on her neck. Turning to the side, she found Wang Ruyue pointing a sword at her.

"You lose." Wang Ruyue said flatly, neither happy nor proud after defeating Jin Jiali.

"You… how did you do that?" Jin Jiali looked at Wang Ruyue and asked.

"What do you mean?" Wang Ruyue tilted her head in confusion at Jin Jiali's question.

"How did you hit the tip of my whip with your sword? I'm sure my attacks became so fast after using the Golden Roc Technique. I can still understand if you avoid it. But you used your sword to stab my whip into the arena. It's impossible with your current strength." Jin Jiali repeated her question and expressed her confusion.

"So you asked about it. Wouldn't you find the answer if you thought for a while?" Wang Ruyue didn't answer right away and instead asked Jin Jiali.

"Is it tough for you to answer my question? Why are you even asking me back…wait a minute." Jin Jiali was irritated by Wang Ruyue's response, but she suddenly stopped what she was saying after remembering something.

"Did you use the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique to stab my whip?" Jin Jiali asked Wang Ruyue. She believed that was the only explanation Wang Ruyue could overcome her attacks.

"You are right. I did use the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique even though it was only at the advanced stage. Not like someone who has learned it at mastery or above. But it was enough to counter that attack of yours." Wang Ruyue quickly admitted it. She suddenly remembered Tenku's match yesterday.

The boy used his spear skillfully and defeated twelve people at once with a cultivation base of the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm. That sight was imprinted in Wang Ruyue's mind and amazed her, especially Tenku's cool and powerful figure in the arena. Wang Ruyue couldn't help but blush when she thought about it.

"Is that so? No wonder your sword has the same precision and speed as my strike using the Golden Roc Technique." Jin Jiali nodded in satisfaction after hearing Wang Ruyue's answer. Then she looked at Jin Zhaohui.

"I admit defeat!" Jin Jiali smiled and said.

"The winner is Wang Ruyue!" Jin Zhaohui nodded and announced the winner of the match. After that, the audience in arena D cheered. Not only for Wang Ruyue but also for Jin Jiali, the two of them showed an incredible battle for a young cultivator their age.

"Alright, you can get down from the arena since the second match of the first round is about to start." Jin Zhaohui looked at Wang Ruyue and Jin Jiali. He secretly checked on her grand-niece for fear that she was seriously injured from Wang Ruyue's punch. But after seeing the expression on her face, Jin Zahohui was relieved that Jin Jiali was okay.

"We understand, Elder Jin." Wang Ruyue and Jin Jiali answered simultaneously and quickly left the battle arena.

"Where are you going? Why do you look so rushed?" Jin Jiali asked Wang Ruyue after seeing her walk over at a brisk pace.

"I want to go to another arena and see someone's match." Wang Ruyue looked at Jin Jiali and smiled beautifully. She waved her hand and left Jin Jiali speechless as she was captivated by the fantastic sight.
