Athena Vanzano had developed greatly in the events leading up to the Caeruleum Martial Tournament.
Utilizing the Frost Stone, the girl had her Yin Body potential unlocked, classing her from a Bronze-Rank low-tier Warrior to a high-tier Frostblade.
Then, training in the Icingdeath Mountains and cultivating under the guidance of Shao Ran solidified her ability to sustain her spellcraft. Versed in both her martial abilities and her spellcasting, she trained until she was able to use mana to empower herself in combat. With proper focus, Athena could moderately increase the weight of her attacks and greatly increase her agility.
With the young lady's talents, she could easily fight opponents more skilled and at a higher rank. When she finally experienced a breakthrough to Iron-Rank, she might even be able to fight against the heavens and the hells.
