Chapter 243: A New Challenger

When Su Xiang swung her sword in a final strike to end the life of the defeated San, Wu Ling didn't need to watch to know that the duel had ended. Instead, he grabbed hold of Yu Jinqi's jade-colored robes and tugged the young alchemist in the direction of the stairs leading to the arena stage.

When they reached the stage, the crowd had already grown restless. Several people booed, others shouted for someone to finish the job, trying to encourage another fighter to take up the cause of killing the woman from the Shining Blade Hall.

Su Xiang, however, ignored the crowd. She'd taken a seat on the cold stone floor of the stage and clutched tightly at something hanging from her neck. Moments later, dull red energy flowed from the totem gripped tightly in her hands, manifesting in a faint phantom Red Mist Wolf.
