At the highest viewing platform, Veena Blackgold quietly gave Su Yu a report while watching the two powerful duelists confronting each other below.

“Nemesis, the betting lines have been set. The wagers on Miss Tina winning are less than five hundred thousand spiritual energy coins. Bets on Megan winning, however, total up to twenty-one million spiritual energy coins!”

“Twenty-one million? That much?” Su Yu raised an eyebrow.

Originally, he had estimated the amount to be about ten million.

As the house, Su Yu would need to pay two to three million to those who bet on Tina’s victory, give several tens of thousands to the organizers, and pay some tax. After all these outlays, he would have approximately seven to eight million spiritual energy coins in profits.

Surprisingly, the total bets exceeded his prediction!

With this new estimate, he now stood to make nearly fifteen million spiritual energy coins!

“Yes.” Veena Blackgold said, chuckling nervously, “Just before the betting closed, members of the Windsor Family came to wager five million on Megan’s victory. They must have something up their sleeves.”

As Veena Blackgold spoke, he pointed to a reserved viewing platform below.

Following his gaze, Su Yu spotted Kimberly and some unfamiliar nobles, presumably members of the Windsor Family.

It was worth noting that the legion commander, Grace, was also a member of the Windsor Family. Su Yu noticed her presence near Kimberly.

“Nemesis, if Miss Tina wins this duel, we will have definitely offended the Windsor Family!” Veena Blackgold stated, sounding worried.

“So what if we offend them? All is fair in bets and wagers.” Su Yu shrugged indifferently, “We can’t purposely lose the bet to please them, can we? Otherwise, who will cover these losses ?”

“I definitely can’t afford it.” Veena Blackgold replied defeated, his laughter tinged with regret.

“Alright, let’s focus on the duel and leave these concerns for later.”

Su Yu’s gaze descended onto the dueling field.

At this moment, the duel below had entered its countdown phase.

10, 9, 8…3, 2, 1, 0.

The countdown ended.

Upon the referee’s command, Tina and Megan’s duel officially began!

Both contestants unleashed their furious energies simultaneously.

Tina was ablaze with a blinding golden light, her entire form glowing resplendently like a miniature statue made of gold.

Megan, on the other hand, was engulfed in a deep blue hue, her aura as profound and unfathomable as the sea itself.

The two had initially been nearly a hundred meters apart.

With the commencement of the duel, both contestants charged at each other on their unicorns.

The golden and blue lights rapidly converged.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the two figures collided violently like crashing comets.

The space around them distorted and shuddered, causing the sturdy ground of the arena to fracture like a spider web.

Every spectator present could feel the ground trembling beneath their feet!

Thankfully, a protective barrier had been erected above the dueling field by the organizers to filter strong light and loud noises.

Otherwise, likely a third of the ordinary spectators present would’ve swooned from the impact of Tina and Megan’s collision!

“Ah! Is this the power of a rank four warrior? It’s overwhelmingly powerful!” one of the spectators in the crowd rubbed at his ringing ears.

“Yes, indeed. The light was so glaring, I almost went blind! And this light has been filtered by the protective barrier!”

“Wait, did you notice? Tina seems to be doing really well!”

“You’re right! Not only is Tina unharmed, Megan seems to be struggling?”

“Yes, indeed? What is going on?”

The spectators started chattering noisily.

The first clash of the duel below had concluded.

In the previous clash, Tina’s strike directly knocked Megan off balance.

Even a casual observer could tell that Tina had clearly come out on top in the clash!

Megan had not expected Tina to be this strong.

She is at the peak of the fourth stage! Tina has only just entered the fourth stage, why would she lose to Tina in a pure power contest?

“Tina, have you really become this strong?” Megan steadied herself with her lance, her rage starting to dissipate.

“It’s faith that made me stronger,” Tina replied seriously.

“Faith?”

“Yes, the belief in continuously growing stronger, surpassing myself! It’s not something you, whose mind has been corrupted by a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins from the Windsor family, could understand.”

Besides faith, there was something else Tina didn’t mention. Megan shouldn’t have embarrassed her in front of Nemesis.

If Megan had tried to undermine her behind her back, for the sake of their instructor, she might have been able to tolerate it.

But humiliating her in front of Nemesis was something she absolutely could not endure!

Seemingly sensing the gaze of Nemesis from the stand, a strong will to fight erupted in Tina’s clear eyes!

She raised her lance high again, her fighting spirit piercing the sky, and charged on her unicorn.

Upon hearing “a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins,” anger waged through Megan. The phrase instantly broke her mental defenses.

So… Tina already knew?

For a mere hundred thousand spiritual energy coins, she abandoned her integrity as an instructor to unjustly torment a student… she’s simply…

The remorse in Megan’s heart was succeeded by a great decline in her will to fight.

Facing the furiously charging Tina, she braced herself and barely managed to parry.

The outcome of the following fight was predictable.

Megan, who was weaker than Tina in overall strength and now lacked the will to fight, was naturally suppressed by Tina.

Just a minute later, Megan was backed into a corner of the dueling arena, signs of failure were beginning to show.

The spectators on the stands were bewildered at the sight of Megan being steamrolled by Tina!

This was completely different from what they had expected!

How could a novice in the fourth stage suppress a peak fourth-stager?

Was this a fixed match? Or had Tina been concealing her strength?

“Ahhhh! My two thousand spiritual energy coins!” one person roared from the stands.

“Don’t worry, bro! It’s not over yet! There’s still a chance for a turnaround!”

In the VIP area of the Windsor family, someone was also troubled.

This person was Kimberly’s father – Kerton Windsor.

Kerton was a portly middle-aged man with the strength of only the fourth stage.

Seeing Megan being suppressed the whole time, his expression was very unsightly: “Grace, something’s wrong with the duel down there! How can a newcomer to the fourth stage suppress a peak fourth-stager? Tell me how!”

Kerton, influenced by his daughter, had bet five million spiritual energy coins on Megan.

Initially thinking to earn a bit of extra cash, it now seemed he was on the verge of losing everything!

Commander Grace stayed calm, sitting in her seat without moving.

This time she had not bet on anyone, so it didn’t matter to her whether Megan or Tina won, as long as Tina could survive.

Upon hearing Kerton’s comment, she replied indifferently: “Hah, my foolish brother! What trickery are you referring to? As a sixth-stage Sanctuary stronger, would I not see if there were any?”

Kerton immediately countered: “Although you are a Sancturay of the sixth stage, you still might have missed something…”

Just as he was about to continue, his daugther Kimberly suddenly whispered in his ear: “Dad, don’t worry! I’ve prepared a bottle of sixth stage Eternal Fury potion for Instructor Megan, and I’ve also bribed the referee…”

After hearing his daughter’s words, Kerton’s expression instantly brightened.

“Hump!” He snorted, turned around to sit back down, and continued watching the duel.

Meanwhile, Grace furrowed her brows.

Kimberly’s voice was low, but as a sixth-stage strong, Grace had clearly heard her niece’s words.

She immediately realized that Tina might be in danger!

So Grace stood up from her seat, the red rage emerged around her body like viscous glue.

If Tina were in danger, she would immediately swoop down to the rescue!
