In view of the full-on attack of Revenge Shadow Rider, there are very few who could withstand it. Of course, this is a relative view point. When real masters compete, they wouldn't foolishly wait for their enemies to attack while they focus on defense unless they are primarily defensive fighters. After all, defense consumes much less physical energy than offense. However, Revenge Shadow Rider could be seen as a peculiar figure within the Maximal Outbreak style, willing to go to any lengths to guide their opponents into using their strongest attack. It demonstrates that even someone as powerful as Revenge Shadow Rider still possesses an enterprising spirit; he does not stagnate but continues to strive to progress. Needless to say, he is favored by netizens from all over the world for his chances of victory.

On the other hand, Mengdie isn't as reliable as reputed. Her experience and combat abilities are even inferior to a novice dressed in white. The Mecha she pilots usually end up exploding - if not from one thing, then from another, ultimately resulting in self-destruction. Compared to operating a Mecha, Mengdie's close-combat abilities are more prominent. Her eye-catching and refreshing moves could leave watchers dazzled, especially with her airborne ice-shattering explosion, for lack of a better term. It was almost as if she was performing magic tricks. However, all these were defended by Revenge Shadow Rider. It could be said that much of the battle so far, Revenge Shadow Rider had spent his time on the defensive.

From this, it can be inferred that Revenge Shadow Rider may have been observing his opponent all this while without unveiling his true strength. Of course, Mengdie being unable to break through Revenge Shadow Rider's defense using close combat is a major factor. Her attacks are not light, but when exchanging blows with an opponent like Revenge Shadow Rider, her moves can be described as light if they fail to inflict visible damage within a few strikes.

Fortunately, while Mengdie can't break through Revenge Shadow Rider's defenses, he cannot keep up with her either. This gap does not lie in top speed. According to the system's calculations, Revenge Shadow Rider's maximum speed is higher than Mengdie. Their physical toughness is also on par. However, his instant acceleration and directional changes are clearly a tier lower than Mengdie. This has a lot to do with the lightness of her body and her special abilities. But if Mengdie continually uses evasive tactics to kite Revenge Shadow Rider, he is truly helpless.

Looking at the battleground, both contestants are ready to strike but have not moved for 30 seconds. A real master could tell that it's not because they don't want to attack, but because they're trying to read each other, looking for openings in their opponent's stance. Whoever moves first is likely the one with the vulnerability in their defenses. At this level of competition, any opening could turn out to be a deadly mistake. Therefore, neither Revenge Shadow Rider nor Mengdie has made their move yet.

But peace is short-lived. As time elapses, the deep and ethereal look in Mengdie's eyes seems to become tainted with melancholy, as if there's a story in her heart that people want to discover.

Revenge Shadow Rider is faring worse, his brows were increasingly furrowed. Through close-ups, people could unmistakably see that there is a thin trace of sweat on his forehead. Mengdie, on the other hand, does not display such conditions yet. This indirectly indicates that Revenge Shadow Rider might not be as patient as he seems.

"My deputy, what will you do next..."

In the Jade Clear Sect, seeing this, the sect leader mumbled to herself. This battle was a test for Mengdie too. Should she fail her task, Mengdie will still be the first disciple of the Jade Clear Sect for the past four years, but she would never have the chance to be the sect protector, even though she was born in the North Mysterious Hall and considered the young protector.

It's a shame her mask was broken by Sky Shadow. From that moment on, the mask could no longer alter her voice. It's unfortunate that she had to withdraw her protection of vital energy and had to challenge Revenge Shadow Rider verbally instead.

Now, will she be able to find Revenge Shadow Rider's weakness? Engaging in close combat with him certainly isn't a wise move, but apart from that, Mengdie does not have any other options. The Butterfly Dance Jade Purity Flow may be powerful, but she never expected Revenge Shadow Rider to effortlessly block it with an energy wall. Continuing to use that move would only unnecessarily drain more of her mental power.

One must understand this: water is yin, the soul. To replenish yin is to replenish the soul, to drain yin is to drain the soul. Mengdie has a naturally soft and weak body, hence she can reach a balance in the process of spiritual nourishment through spirit-consumption. If she uses too much mental ability and exceeds the balance, it is tantamount to soul-consuming, mental-harming, and life-shortening to a certain extent.

Similarly, spiritual nourishment is the greatest advantage of water-type mental ability users. It is the foundation of Mengdie's strength. If not, she wouldn't be able to stay unscathed when fighters like Feng Yi and Sky Shadow are panting heavily. However, the consumption of spirit and soul is also the greatest disadvantage for mental ability users, as their opponent Revenge Shadow Rider won't have any such concerns, but Mengdie is not the same.

At this moment, even though Mengdie's breath is steady, the sudden melancholy on her face clearly indicates that she is not happy. On the contrary, Revenge Shadow Rider appears as if nothing bothers him.

In fact, Feng Yi had also sensed the change in his opponent's energy field. Even though he seemed to be sweating profusely, it was merely a natural reflex formed by his highly alert nerves. But Mengdie was different. Her steps were light, her breathing stable, Feng Yi subtly detected that her energy field was slightly weaker than before. The reason he had not seized the chance to attack was simply that he was giving his opponent some time to rest.

Take care of the girl, or show compassion for the fair and tender? That's not what was happening. Despite what others might think, Feng Yi's intention was to allow his opponent to recover some stamina. He was indeed very interested in Mengdie's strength.

As time ticked away... a few thirsty commentators had already gulped down several sips of water, but the two in the central battlefield remained motionless. The waiting was indeed long. These moments would have allowed a high-level warrior to recover a lot of stamina.

"If you have rested enough, you can make your move anytime." Feng Yi spoke only when he believed that Mengdie had fully recovered.

The crowd started to sweat profusely... they had initially thought that the two fighters were discretely competing for power. Although ordinary people might not be able to tell, this was often mentioned in textbooks, and high-level warriors could relate as they have experienced it. Yet who would have thought that the Revenge Shadow Rider would say such a thing? Well, perhaps this was the privilege of a beauty. Even the usually stone-hearted Revenge Shadow Rider appeared to be more benevolent. No sooner had this comment been made, it sparked a wave of sputters and protests from the Shadow Rider camp.

What bullshit is this about beauty? There had been no shortage of beautiful women fighting against the Revenge Shadow Rider, but he was never known for showing compassion. On the contrary, he rarely made a move, but when he did, he was more ruthless than anyone else. This just proved the point that the strength of his opponents gave Revenge Shadow Rider great pleasure in battle. This was the reason why he patiently waited for such a long time.

It's unclear whether Mengdie was grateful to the Revenge Shadow Rider or not. Upon hearing this, she responded. Even though there was no sign of joy or sorrow on her face, she had made multiple hand gestures in the blink of an eye. A pale, blue halo immediately disappeared from her body, marking the Gale Seal that helped cultivate, keep fit, and kill enemies rapidly. As she waved her hands, two more kinds of seals that Feng Yi had never seen before emerged, one with a yellow halo, the other with a red one, it was a dazzling sight to behold.

Just as Mengdie confirmed Feng Yi's vigilance, she launched an attack...

This attack was so sudden, the terrible thing was its aggressive momentum. Even Feng Yi didn't want to face it head-on. He swung his arm to block the attack from the front, only to find out it was a feint. His brain barely had time to react when he found that Mengdie's vehement attack was not as formidable as he had imagined. It was just a light tap at the position of his heart.

It should be known that Mengdie had tried to attack his heart before, but apart from the first time, it had not been successful. This time, instead of a vicious kick, she substituted it with a finger tap that was exactly the same as before.

The opponent couldn't possibly be teasing him, Mengdie's finger tap was light but she kept trying to touch his heart. This made Feng Yi have a sense of ominous foreboding in his heart. After touching him, Mengdie didn't continue to attack.

However, it only lasted for a short two seconds. It seemed that, for some unknown reason, Mengdie had suddenly changed her mind. As Mengdie moved her fingers, Feng Yi was quickly enveloped by four watery pillars, as thick as arms, formed out of thin air. Before he could even question the meaning behind that finger tap on his heart, Mengdie's foot was already hurtling towards him.

No doubt, her leg work was commendable, but Feng Yi didn't want to be on the receiving end. He didn't have the time to ask questions, a sudden burst of energy dispersed the restraint.
