Although Ten-Step Hall appeared furious on the surface, in reality… she was seething inside!
Fortunately, she wouldn’t lose her rationality due to anger. In the first round of the confrontation, though she hated to admit it—and though she hadn’t used her full strength—this Half-Dragon’s defense was extremely high, already comparable to the Dragon Scale Defense of pure-blooded members of the Dragon Tribe.
“Just a mere mongrel.” Ten-Step Hall sneered coldly.
But how could a counterfeit ever surpass the genuine article? In the end, she was just a shoddy servant created by the Crimson Dragon Clan.
Her fist ignited once more, this time using half of her strength.
The scorching waves of flame swept across the arena, and the oppressive aura of a higher race was revealed without reserve at this moment.
Both sides from the Tea Ceremony Society and the Martial Arts Club were forced to retreat again and again, not daring to approach in the slightest.
They were compelled to halt their battles and had no right to cause trouble nearby; everyone had become mere spectators.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen Ten-Step Hall this angry.”
“Who exactly is that tall woman?”
Lianjian and Yeqi also stepped aside, transforming into commentators as they began to analyze this duel.
“That’s Old Mo, the strongest henchman and lackey of Orange Sea Dream. While you lot were off wandering outside, she helped Orange Sea Dream sweep out all the dissenters from the clubs.”
Hei Pi Lamei Luoluotang also joined the commentary lineup.
Anyway, fighting the Golden Fang Beast Sisters was always a fifty-fifty stalemate—no matter how many lifetimes they fought, there’d never be a winner.
Or rather, under such a half-baked setup, it was impossible to get any real result.
“Hei, I’ll let you go today. Find a good place next time, and we’ll fight to the death. Parental Revenge must be settled,” Lianjian said coldly.
“Gladly. I’m just afraid you won’t have the guts to show up,” Luoluotang replied with a disdainful laugh.
That’s why, just like Mou Bai, the Golden Fang Beast Sisters come with their own turtle-shell passive. If you want to break them, you have to give it your all.
Speaking of Mou Bai, it was now quite clear that the way the two pairs of fathers and daughters got along was very different.
The Hero, at the moment he saw his daughter, instantly had a spiritual resonance—he knew she carried his own bloodline, his strength, his magic, so recognition came instantly.
But apparently, there was no such spiritual resonance among the Dragon Tribe, or perhaps there was no bloodline resonance between pure-blooded and mixed-blooded dragons.
Simon simply couldn’t connect this irritating, troublesome Half-Dragon hybrid in front of her to herself in any way.
The thought didn’t even cross her mind. In fact, it was just too revolting.
However, the truth was, this inexplicable anger Simon felt toward Old Mo was a mysterious connection of the Dragon’s Bloodline.
The Dragon Tribe always raised their offspring with harsh Iron-Blooded Education.
Little dragons were beaten by big dragons from an early age—otherwise, they’d be exiled and left to fend for themselves.
No wonder the Dragon Tribe had a tradition of patricide, matricide, and rebelling against their elders; any dragon who could hold back from beating up their parents was a kind dragon.
Moreover, Mou Bai wasn’t born with her fighting prowess—it came from relentless training and learning along the way. Her first duel against her evil father, she was toyed with like a little brat.
But her little sister, Hei, was different. Dragons were born with the strength to rule the world.
Now, she even dared to challenge her own dragon father with an elbow strike—no need for learning, with the Dragon Tribe’s basic attributes and skills, she could run rampant.
“Hohoho!”
In the end, it was Ten-Step Hall who made the first move.
Her movements were still as slow and deliberate as ever; she walked up to Old Mo, step by step, and delivered a straight punch to her face.
Onlookers could finally see it clearly—this time, the seniors of the Martial Arts Club finally understood why they simply couldn’t dodge Ten-Step Hall’s Enflamed Fist.
Despite the seemingly slow attack, it could still beat them like grandchildren.
Because Ten-Step Hall carried a Suppressive Aura, ordinary magical beasts like us would be so terrified in her presence that we’d be frozen stiff.
Naturally, we couldn’t dodge her attacks, no matter how slow they were; the only option was to take them head-on.
“Bang!” There was a loud sound.
Old Mo, right in front of Ten-Step Hall, couldn’t move a muscle and took the full brunt of the Enflamed Fist to her face.
Instantly, her whole body was set ablaze.
The Martial Arts Club seniors could only sigh helplessly in their hearts—it seemed Old Mo was no match for Ten-Step Hall.
If you couldn’t withstand the Suppressive Aura of a higher race, you didn’t even qualify for a beginner’s duel.
“Thud!” The very next moment, another heavy sound rang out.
They saw Black Dragon, after taking the heavy punch, suddenly tilt her head at lightning speed, darted forward half a step, dropped her body, and countered with a Rising Dragon Elbow, striking fiercely at Ten-Step Hall’s chin.
Her movements were as quick as lightning, unpredictable, flowing smoothly like water—she didn’t look at all like someone suppressed by the Suppressive Aura.
“What!”
“She counterattacked!”
“She landed a hit!”
“She isn’t afraid of Simon’s suppression!”
The Martial Arts Club seniors and the onlookers all cried out in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.
“!?” Even Ten-Step Hall herself looked surprised.
Though her chin took a hit from the Rising Dragon Elbow, her head didn’t move an inch.
Likewise, Black Dragon, after taking the Dragon Breath straight punch, looked completely unfazed, with only some more soot on her face.
“A Half-Dragon hybrid’s strength can evolve to this level? Looks like you’re a secret weapon the Crimson Dragon Clan’s been researching,” Ten-Step Hall commented sharply.
“Out of tricks already, little dragon?” Black Dragon asked with disdain.
“I already said my body shape is perfect,” Ten-Step Hall retorted, her gaze turning colder.
It seemed ordinary skills couldn’t take this opponent down—she’d have to use some real techniques.
The two stared each other down for a long moment, fists quietly gathering power.
……
Just then, Xueyuedai, Feini, Bai Yuge · Rose, and the others also arrived in front of the Martial Arts Club building.
It happened to be the era of the Great Spectacle—no matter if it was the Tea Party, the Tea Ceremony Society, or the Martial Arts Club, all hostilities were set aside for now.
Everyone had become spectators, all focused on the epic duel between Ten-Step Hall and Old Mo.
So Feini blended in with the crowd, bringing along the Big Daughter, keeping silent for the moment to avoid alarming anyone.
A battle between father and daughter was unavoidable.
She knew exactly what the Big Daughter was capable of, but had no idea what level the Black Dragon’s strength had reached.
Now, let me see just how strong my little daughter really is.
Baicheng also stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching the show intently.
She wanted to know her little sister’s combat ability, and didn’t intend to interfere—unless Black Dragon really couldn’t hold her own.
Not only them—actually, behind a certain window of the Martial Arts Club building, a few hidden bigshots were observing the fight in secret.
One of them was Orange Sea Dream, who had sneaked into someone else’s club just to observe Ten-Step Hall’s combat power.
“President Haimeng, the Dragon Servant you sent is truly impressive,” commented a mysterious Martial Arts Club bigshot.
“A small matter,” Orange Sea Dream replied with a smile.
But in truth, she was deeply shocked inside.
Black Dragon was not actually a Dragon Servant trained by their Crimson Dragon Clan; she was a mysterious Half-Dragon arranged by the Faceless Witch.
Seeing Old Mo being this powerful, her feelings were complicated—she could only be half happy.
And then there was Ten-Step Hall Simon—her true form was definitely a young Ancient Dragon, but her fighting style was completely baffling.
