Next Round Matches, Part V
The next battle was between Shā Ying Yue and Mei Xilan. It was a lot closer of a battle than Wu Jian expected it to be. Shā Ying Yue gave as good as she got, but she was unable to overcome Mei Xilan and her Ice Phoenix Domain. Her powers relied on blood manipulation. She infused her chi with blood and used it for her techniques, creating weapons like a spear, a sword, or even blood armor. Mei Xilan had simply frozen all of her techniques. It was a bad matchup.
Once she realized she was losing, Shā Ying Yue used a technique called Blood Beast Summoning: Blood Serpent, which wasn’t a summoning technique. The young woman had released blood through her pores, then willed the expelled blood into the shape of a massive serpent. Wu Jian didn’t know how the technique worked, but he could tell it was a high-level one simply because of how powerful the blood serpent had been. He suspected this technique might have been a high-level Spirit Rank or maybe even a Heaven Rank.
