Life on the Line

Xu Yue's serious question put Liu Ye in a daze. 

Could he really fight someone who has probably spent countless hours mastering his elements? It wasn't a game where he could die infinitely. One wrong move and he would be dead for real. 

"Do you know how to awaken?" Liu Ye questioned confused. If she knew, why didn't she tell him about it earlier? 

"I wasn't supposed to use it until later but we don't seem to have a choice," Xu Yue replied as he held his face. "I have a Water Stone sitting in my safe. If you consume it, maybe you can awaken on the spot."

Liu Ye widened his eyes, immediately tempted to try it but his rationality kicked in. If they bet everything on fighting this man, they would lose the chance to escape.
