Chapter 1966: Challenging Someone

Natalya fiercely matched her gaze with Myria's, wanting to see how strong she was, although…

*Bonk*

Davis lightly pat Natalya on her head, causing her to turn to look at him and pout, although that cute reaction was hidden behind her veil.

"Don't be so arrogant enough to think that you can defeat Myria just because you can use yin fusion. Even I'm not confident enough to defeat her."

Davis sent a soul transmission to Natalya. After all, he was only confident of killing her with Fallen Heaven.

Natalya narrowed her brows.

Was Myria really that strong for him to have such a high opinion of her? Although they already mused that she might have knowledge from the immortal world, would that make her stronger than her in the Eighth Stage Segment? After all, Davis said that Myria's strong point was her soul, and as long as Myria suppressed her cultivation base to Peak-Level Eighth Stage, she was confident in giving an awe-inspiring battle.

At the very least, she wouldn't lose in one strike.

Nonetheless, looking at Natalya's eyes, Davis saw that she was unconvinced.

"My Natalya. I didn't mean that you are not a match for her. You are just temporarily at a disadvantage because she had more time to cultivate properly than you and most possibly knows more tricks than me. I don't want you to come in contact with her. After all, if she takes you as a hostage with her soul techniques, I'd be forced into a passive position."

Davis still recalled how Myria slapped the Vast Sky Emperor and found something strange. If Myria also does something to Natalya, even if it was just for a backup plan that could be used against him, then he had no qualms about killing her. He knew that his wives were his reverse scale, and no one should even think of using them to threaten him.

At this time, where he and Myria were just a few meters apart, he could feel immense pressure. Most likely, that pressure was solely falling on him, letting him know the control he possessed over her soul that he couldn't help but admire.

'Ah, so that's what it is…!'

Natalya nodded as her eyes brightened.

The whole time, she didn't send soul transmissions as Myria was near. She assumed that Myria could probably peek at soul transmissions just as easily as Davis could since Myria's experience in using soul techniques was vaster than his, even if she didn't have his seamless quality.

On the other hand, Davis was even more careful, echoing the soul transmission through his hand that was in contact with her head. This way, Myria wouldn't be able to listen to anything. If she did, she would have to go through their physical bodies. Their exchange didn't even last two whole seconds before he took his hands off of her head.

But since Natalya didn't know about this way of communication, she didn't reply. She didn't bother with Myria anymore and roamed her gaze over the participants.

There were eleven more participants besides Davis, Zestria, Schleya, and Myria.

The prominent ones were the dark horse, the Vast Sky Emperor's talented son: Wayn Skycloud, Wind Dragon Queen: Zura Ike, Water Dragon Queen: Giselle Orcha, Emperor Sword Sect's most talented disciple, Rayn Shard.

She glanced at each one of them before her gaze fell on the dark horse. However, she inwardly shook her head.

If the dark horse wasn't allied with them, she would've certainly challenged them. Otherwise, she risked breaking their amicable relationship. Reluctantly, she could only search for other opponents, but she wasn't too disappointed since she wasn't a battle freak.

In the end, her eyes glowed, and a teasing smile appeared behind her hidden veil as she raised her hand and pointed.

"I challenge you to a battle, Giselle Orcha."

The Water Dragon Queen became stunned at being chosen before her anger flared, "What? You're bullying me!?"

"Of course not. In the yin nature of the myriad of laws, only you're the one with a similar attribute and the strongest amongst other opponents, so I want to test my strength against you or if I might say the mighty Water Dragon."

Natalya's voice possessed a teasing tone, causing Giselle Orcha to clench her fists and look at Honorable Elder Julian Kruse.

"Is this allowed?"

"I did say as long as one's number showed up in the lot, they do have a big advantage in choosing their opponents. It doesn't matter if they're stronger or they're weaker. You're all here to fight for the rankings. If you win against Yin Lotus Fairy, you'll naturally move to the second place and gain a brief reprieve until all the other opponents have finished challenging their opponents." He nodded.

'So one can only challenge a person a single time until all have at least battled once…'

Everyone understood. However, Zura Ike raised her hand, causing Honorable Elder Julian Kruse to nod towards her.

"What if the lot choose Yin Lotus Fairy or Water Dragon Queen again?"

"Then they can choose to skip or challenge someone who hasn't been challenged yet."

"Thanks for the explanation." Zura Ike cupped her hands.

Natalya could see the nervousness in Giselle Orcha's eyes when everyone was listening to Honorable Elder Julian Kruse, causing her to laugh almost.

"What? You don't dare accept the challenge?"

Giselle Orcha ground her teeth. Her sapphire eyes were full of rancor before she spat out a few words.

"Fine! I accept your challenge!"

"Everyone else, please move away from the battle stage. If you want, you can return to your powers as well. The lot will be chosen again, and you can choose someone from the rankings."

The geniuses nodded and left, leaving Natalya and Giselle Orcha glaring at each other.

Davis saw them finish setting up a new defensive formation at this moment as he flew away, feeling reluctant.

The Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation was already taken away by them. He had wanted it but didn't know how to acquire it.

Plunder the Astral Light Sect and Vast Sky Palace? For the latter, it was quite possible, but for the former, he didn't know about it. Then he thought about trading with them, but it was possible that they wouldn't let go of such an ancient formation. He could only sigh, watching it as it was taken away at that time.

However, the Four Great Righteous Sects were quite smart. They knew that the formations might shatter if he and Myria fought, so they didn't use the Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation or a new special formation for the third round. Instead, they placed a defensive formation, one that also extended and stabilized the space, allowing Ninth Stage Powerhouses to battle freely without having to worry about space cracking.

Or perhaps, the third round was just really meant to be simple, and he was over-thinking about their smartness.

Soon, everyone left, and the formation activated, sealing the space.

Natalya and Giselle Orcha stood at a distance of thirty kilometers, separating them. They looked like mere dots in the distance, but in their eyes, they could clearly see each other's facial expressions with focus. Just when Natalya was about to open her mouth to say something, a commanding voice echoed out.

"Let the battle begin!"
