21 Yue Yang vs Xue Wu Xia

"W-with this I announce that the winner of the Yue clan's new year tournament is Yue clan third young master, Yue Yang!", announced the referee with a bit of stutter.

After hearing the announcement, the spectators were woke up from their reverie. The whole crowd was in uproar since this signified the birth of new prodigy in Da Xia Kingdom that was equivalent or surpassed even Princess Qian Qian.

Meanwhile, Princess Qian Qian was brought away immediately by medical team to receive treatment. Thankfully it looks like she didn't had any heavy injury thanks to her strengthening guardian beast and only fainted because of shock.

This was a relieved for both Emperor Jun Wu You and elder Yue Hai, since it will made the relationship of Yue clan and royal family strained in case Princess Qian Qian got injured gravely.

After ensuring Princess Qian Qian's well being, elder Yue Hai immediately order the elder in charge of the tournament to start the award ceremony.

However before the elder in question walk away to the podium, Xue Wu Xia interrupted him while saying politely toward Emperor Jun Wu You and elder Yue Hai.

"Emperor and elder, please excuse my manner. Before we start with the award ceremony may I please be grant a chance to challenge Yue Yang?", ask Xue Wu Xia while she bow her head.

"Oh, may I ask the reason?", elder Yue Hai said in question voice.

"I just want to gauge my fiance's capability. Of course based on the previous match I already know that Yue Yang was a prodigy that at least on par with Qian Qian, however I still want to verify it myself directly. Furthermore, as Qian Qian's childhood, I had to at least give a scolding to my fiancé for beating her so violently right? Not to mention as his fiancée I also had right to punish him since he dare to hit on Qian Qian and ask her on a date", said Xue Wu Xia coldly.

Hearing this Yue Yang could only laugh wrily while he scratch his head in awkward manner.

"Haha, in that case I approve this challenge. Not to mention San-er's conduct toward Qian Qian before was too much. How could a grandson of mine act that violently to a little girl? Since you will become his wife in the future you also had the right to give him a harsh scolding. Don't worry, I'll not blame you even if you beat him up", said elder Yue Hai with smile toward Xue Wu Xia.

Hearing the term 'wife', Xue Wu Xia can't help but to blush a little, while Yue Yang was wearing a grief expression.

'Hey, this is discrimination! As my grandfather instead of defending me, you happily give Wu Xia permission to beat me up, I want to object!', thought Yue Yang feeling injustice in this situation. Although he didn't had courage to object since he was also feeling guilty for giving princess Qian Qian a double lariat while she was distract in battle because of his word.

'But seriously, can you please give me a break! Now I need to defeat Wu Xia without hurting her too much. This was a hurdle much higher than when I fight with the tigress' lament Yue Yang in her heart.

"Hahaha, in that case let's had the elders prepared the ring for the new match brother Hai. Xue Wu Xia was also stronger than Qian Qian in term of battle strength, and I'm sure Yue Yang was still holding some strength. I hope Xue Wu Xia can forced Yue Yang to bring out his whole strength", said emperor Jun Wu You gleefully.

Wether it were Princess Qian Qian, Xue Wu Xia, Xue Tan Lang, and Yue Yang, all of them were the top genius of Da Xia kingdom. He can't help but wish to see them grow up to become a powerhouse in the future and bring a prosperity to the kingdom.

After that, elder Yue Hai made a bit of preparation for the match between Yue Yang and Xue Wu Xia.

The whole crowds were also looking forward seeing this battle since they were a bit dissatisfied from the previous match because the end was too abrupt.

After the preparation was finished, both Yue Yang and Xue Wu Xia were facing each other in the ring.

Yue Yang can't help but stared at Xue Wu Xia to scrutinize her figure. Even though she was still a 10 year old, he admit that she was very adorable. Her childlike figure couple with her snow color hair was quite a good combination. He's looking forward to her growth in the future.

Meanwhile Xue Wu Xia was also glared at Yue Yang. This is the first time she saw his figure directly this close. While he was not too handsome since he was still a brat, she can't help but admire him a bit for possessing a physique that was looked more robust and stronger compared to others at the same age. At least she can figure out that his physique was the result of his hardwork at training, thus gaining her approval.

"Now that both side were ready, I hereby declare that the match begin!", shout the referee.

Right after the match begin, Xue Wu Xia immediately summoned her grimoire. She didn't possessed strong physique like Princess Qian Qian thus she will be in grave danger if she was suddenly ambushed by enemies without preparation.

She already know this fact since her childhood, thus she focus to trained 'instant summoning' to immediately summoned her contracted beast in case she was caught by enemies with surprise. At least this way, she will be able to immediately defend herself.

Seeing Xue Wu Xia performed 'instant summoning', Yue Yang and the crowds were caught in surprise. After all this technique was very difficult and rare to be performed by even those experts at level 6 [Elder] and above.

Like Princess Qian Qian, her guardian beast was gold rank 'Blizzard Lady'. It even possessed potential above Princess Qian Qian's guardian beast 'Western White Tiger' since it will be able to level up to Diamond rank in the future.

This guardian beast was capable of controlling lightning on one hand, and cold stream on the other hand.

It was perfect match for Xue Wu Xia since her inherent ability was called 'Ice and Lightning'. If she was to partner up with her guardian beast, Yue Yang was afraid that he will be easily turn into ice sculpture and roast by lightning if he doesn't go all out.

Unfortunately for him, all of his abilities were already brought out and all of them was uselees in front of Xue Wu Xia. What's the use of having speed movement if she can froze the entire ring. His [Shadow Clones] will also be useless since she can easily froze them altogether, in fact using [Shadow Clones] will only be wasted of spiritual energy.

Since he was already come this far, might was well show off his beast to awe her future wife. Not to mention ice was like a supplement for [Esdeath]. If he summoned her, defeating Xue Wu Xia will be easier.
