As Lu Ye made his move, his opponent reacted simultaneously. Amidst the undulating mana, three rounds of the big sun suddenly appeared behind him, illuminating the combat field brightly.

Under the scorching sun, Cher Chi's aura surged to its peak. With a raise of his hand, the fire sea engulfed the sky, and massive fireballs emerged magnificently under the cover of the fire sea.

This display demonstrated the difference from those opponents Lu Ye had encountered before. After all, Cher Chi, ranked within the top 10,000 cultivators, had some abilities.

On the stands, a woman who had placed a bet laughed loudly. She pulled her disciple closer and kissed her smooth cheek, saying happily, "I just knew this guy is from the Tri-Sun World!"

Though she couldn't discern much from the stands, Cher Chi's attire revealed some clues. Tri-Sun World wasn't a top-tier domain but was still quite famous, surrounded by three rounds of the big sun, hence the name.

Most cultivators in this domain practiced fire attributes, and due to the advantaged environment, their individual strength was quite impressive.

This was why she bet on him, not because of youth or old age.

Both were in Moon Jade Late Stage, but one from a domain like Tri-Sun World, and if the other wasn't from a top-tier domain, there was basically no chance of winning.

Moreover, one was a combat cultivator and the other a magic cultivator. In such a spacious combat space, a combat cultivator would expend much energy just to get close to a magic cultivator.

At this moment, the entire combat field was overrun by a sea of fire, with no pure land left, and ferocious magic spells were charging toward Lu Ye. Not only did the woman think Cher Chi's victory was assured, but almost all watching cultivators thought so too.

But soon, the smile on the woman's face froze. Her beautiful eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Why?"

Under such ferocious magic coverage, the young combat cultivator remained unaffected, which was entirely unreasonable.

However, the woman quickly realized, "This guy's mana is also fire-attributed!" She noticed traces of Lu Ye channeling his mana, although not conspicuous amidst the bright magic light, she still saw it clearly.

Yet something seemed off. Even if this young combat cultivator was also fire-attributed, it shouldn't be so easy to handle.

Does he possess some treasure that restrains fire attributes? The woman fell into contemplation.

With a flash of blade light, the huge fireball suddenly shattered, and in the combat field, the young combat cultivator's figure shot like an arrow, splitting waves, with Cher Chi's exquisite magic spells barely hindering him.

The distance between them rapidly closed, causing a wave of exclamations from the stands.

Everyone knew what happens when a magic cultivator gets close to a combat cultivator.

Cher Chi sensed danger. He had fought in countless battles on this combat field, encountering strong and weak opponents, and his combat experience was extremely rich, but never had he felt such a strong sense of oppression.

The opponent hadn't even gotten close yet, and it felt like this. If he really did, what then?

In a flash, Cher Chi kept his magic going, flipped his palm, and already released a copper ring-like magic treasure. As he fiercely channeled his mana, the copper ring immediately transformed into a ring of fire, heading forward to intercept Lu Ye.

After the fire ring was sent out, it divided into two, then four, and eight, within a few breaths, most of the combat field was covered by these densely packed fire rings.

No matter which direction Lu Ye dashed from, he couldn't avoid the harassment of these fire rings.

Cher Chi originally hoped this magic treasure could slightly hinder his opponent, but the result greatly disappointed him. The opponent was like an unreasonable ancient ferocious beast, fixed on the target without making any changes.

Continuous booming sounds echoed; those were the exploding fire rings mixed with the humming of magic spells. The powerful impacts swept all directions but couldn't hinder the opponent's advance.

Where Lu Ye moved, the combat battlefield was left in shambles.

In an instant, Lu Ye was already rushing up front of Cher Chi.

Cher Chi had tried hard to dodge, but in terms of speed, he was no match for his opponent. His evasive actions seemed clumsy.

Bright blade light flashed across his vision, making Cher Chi's hair stand on end. Without thinking, he summoned a protective magic treasure to guard himself.

But in the next instant, his face changed dramatically because he clearly felt the protective magic treasure's power greatly reduced under the opponent's saber strike, with signs of breaking.

This saber… How terrifying?

Tremendous force hit, even if he forcibly channeled mana to stabilize his figure, he was still like a kite, flying high. It was certain that if he hadn't summoned the protective magic treasure at the critical moment, he would've been defeated by the opponent's saber strike.

From the corner of his vision, he noticed his opponent following closely like a shadow, with that long saber seemingly raised again.

"I surrender!" Cher Chi didn't hesitate anymore and quickly shouted.

Although such fierce combat wouldn't lead to life-threatening harm, the combat field would ensure his life. But if the opponent's saber fell, his protective magic treasure would surely break.

Knowing defeat, he certainly didn't want to lose a magic treasure. Voluntarily surrendering and retreating was the correct response.

As his words fell, Cher Chi's figure disappeared, and Lu Ye's saber stopped from slashing down further.

The sky full of firelight receded and disappeared, and along with it, Lu Ye vanished as well.

In the stands, the previously excited woman slumped in her chair, her eyes lost their sparkle, as if she had experienced a thousand humiliations.

"Master..." the petite woman gently called out to her.

The woman did not respond, like a dead fish.

"Alas." The petite woman sighed, knowing this was the outcome, a scene she had witnessed many times before.

Patiently waiting, after a while, the woman finally said weakly, "Let's go back."

"Oh." The petite woman replied, reaching out to support her master's arm. With a thought, they returned to their cave residence together, laying the seemingly soulless, zombie-like master on the jade bed beside her.

Having experienced this countless times, the petite woman wasn't too worried about her master's condition. She knew it wouldn't be long before her master would get back on her feet, participate in the Asura Field training, earn Asura Seals, and then return to the Combat Battlefield or the treasure vault to gamble on her luck!

Then, after losing the bet, she would become like this again... over and over.

Suddenly, the woman jumped up from the bed, cursing, "How did that wretched combat cultivator win? Why did he win?"

She cursed again, "I better not find out who he is, or I will kill him!"

"Yes, yes." The petite woman nodded beside her. The list of people her master wanted to kill had grown by one more person... Over the years, the list had at least a thousand names, maybe eight hundred, but her master was just saying it; she had never really gone to trouble anyone.

Firstly, her master wasn't that kind of person, and secondly, the Asura Field wouldn't allow Sun Blaze to bully the weak.

"But speaking of which, Master, that combat cultivator is very strong!" The petite woman said, "That is definitely not his real ranking."

The woman nodded, "I could see that. That wretched combat cultivator should be new to the Asura Field, here to climb the rankings."

Cher Chi, ranked within the top ten thousand, was so easily defeated. Clearly, that combat cultivator hadn't used his full strength. If he had, who knows how strong he would be.

As the master and disciple were talking, the petite woman suddenly picked up her Asura Authority Token and said, "Master, someone is challenging me."

"Go ahead." The woman collapsed back on the bed, laying in a large starfish position, silently heartbroken over the lost wager.

The petite woman responded and didn't prepare much, entering the Combat Battlefield directly.

In the enclosed Combat Battlefield space, she gradually appeared, immediately looking towards her opponent's direction. Although she didn't know exactly who was challenging her or their strength, perhaps the thirty-breath waiting period could reveal something to her.

As she glanced around, her eyes widened, and she let out a soft "hmm" of surprise. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Because the opponent challenging her looked extremely familiar, with a very young face, wearing a tight suit with a black and red trench coat, a long knife at his waist, looking very capable.

Isn't this... the combat cultivator who caused her master to lose the bet?

The petite woman never expected such a coincidence to happen, that this person would challenge her next.

However, upon careful thought, it's not surprising. Cher Chi from the Tri-Sun World was a few hundred ranks behind her. According to the rule of challenging within a hundred ranks each time, after defeating Cher Chi, this combat cultivator only needed a few more victories to challenge her ranking.

Having witnessed how he defeated Cher Chi, she knew she stood no chance against him because her strength wasn't much different from Cher Chi's, so this battle she would undoubtedly lose.

Even so, she had no thoughts of retreating. She was just planning to give her all in this fight when her master's appearance after losing the bet surfaced in her mind again.

Poor Master...

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was also observing his opponent this time.

The opponent was called Walnut, not sure if it was a real or fake name, from the Youfu World, and like him, had a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivation.

Lu Ye didn't know much about the Youfu World, but there was a Youfu Island on the All Phenomena Ocean, which had some trade relations with Three Worlds Island, and was a high-class Spirit Island, quite nice.

Thus, the foundation of the Youfu World shouldn't be too weak.

Even though the opponent was a woman, Lu Ye didn't have any special considerations. Once in the Combat Battlefield, every fight needed to be given one's all; there was no such thing as going easy just because the opponent was a woman.

The thirty breaths of waiting time quickly passed, and the moment he gained his freedom, Lu Ye, as usual, charged towards his opponent.

The opponent, Walnut, had no extraneous items on her, revealing no affiliations, leaving Lu Ye wondering as her expression appeared conflicted, as if she was hesitating about something.

It wasn't until Lu Ye was within three miles of her that Walnut suddenly raised her hand and called out, "Fellow Daoist, hold on."
