An Understated Dominance Chapter 2312 [4623 – 4624] – “Look! Paulina is on stage!”

“Paulina has spent ten years working on her skills. This time, she will surely impress everyone!”

“Come on, Paulina! Make our Celestial Alliance proud!”

…

Looking at Paulina, who appeared so majestic on the stage, the disciples of the Celestial Alliance began to cheer and shout.

The Celestial Alliance had always been known as the largest sect in Dragonmarsh. As disciples of the Celestial Alliance, they naturally felt a sense of pride. In their opinion, all elite masters of the Celestial Alliance were stronger than those of other sects.

“With Paulina taking action, we should be able to win this match easily.”

In the audience, Kassidy smiled confidently. With Paulina’s strength, she would be a bit worried if facing some well-known geniuses. But her opponent was just an unknown young female warrior.

Such a person posed basically no threat to Paulina.

“The other party seems to be a member of the Mystic Arts Order. We still can’t underestimate the enemy,” Noemi shook her head slightly.

If it were a head-on fight, comparing martial arts and skills, then Paulina would have a greater chance of winning. But the problem was that her opponent was a disciple of the Mystic Arts Order, and her methods were unpredictable and hard to guard against.

If Paulina relaxed, she might get caught at any time. So, there was still a lot of uncertainty about the outcome of this match.

“The disciples of the Mystic Arts Order rarely join arena competitions. This time, we can see what they’re really like,” Fenley said with interest.

The Mystic Arts Order was the most mysterious of the three major sects. The disciples there not only had deep skills but were also good at various witchcraft techniques. It was because of this mystery that people were afraid of it.

Generally speaking, no force was willing to break off relations with the Mystic Arts Order unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Both contestants, are you ready?” Orion Foster looked left and right, and after the two nodded, he said loudly, “If there are no objections, the match will begin now!”

After saying that, Orion Foster walked off the stage gracefully, giving the two of them enough space to show their skills.

“I, Paulina, from Celestial Alliance!”

Paulina was holding a red spear pointing diagonally to the ground, her expression cold and her voice loud and strong.

“I, Azalea, from Mystic Arts Order. Please give me some advice,” Azalea clasped her hands together and smiled harmlessly.

“I won’t hold back if we fight, so you better be careful,” Paulina warned coldly.

“Please.” Azalea nodded slightly without changing her expression.

“Buzz~!”

Paulina turned her wrist and, without any further ado, she thrust her spear.

This move was simple and clean, yet very fast. The tip of the spear was surrounded by a faint silver light, and when it moved forward, it stirred up strong gusts of wind.

Seeing this, Azalea curled the corners of her mouth and suddenly took out a rolled long whip from her waist.

Azalea grabbed the whip and shook it lightly, and there was a loud “pop” sound.

The long whip shot out like a snake and quickly wrapped around Paulina’s waist.

As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger. If the red spear were to face ordinary weapons, it would naturally have a great advantage, but it happened to meet a long whip with a longer reach.

Before touching the target, it had already entered Azalea’s attack range.

The most crucial thing was that there were barbs on Azalea’s long whip. If someone got caught in it and then pulled hard, their skin would be torn apart in an instant.

“Um?”

Paulina raised her eyebrows and immediately changed her strategy from stabbing to blocking.

The long whip hit the spear shaft and immediately spun several times, like a snake wrapping around a body, binding the spear.

Azalea took advantage of the situation and pulled, trying to take Paulina’s weapon away first.

“Bold!”

Paulina’s eyes widened, and instead of retreating, she moved forward, using the pulling force of the whip to quickly adjust the spear, and stabbed towards Azalea’s throat with a fiercer attack.

There was a flash of surprise in Azalea’s eyes. She didn’t expect Paulina to react so quickly. She actually used Azalea’s force to counter her in the first moment, not only breaking her restrictions but also launching an attack.

This kind of fighting wisdom far exceeded that of many martial arts masters.

Of course, although she was surprised, Azalea’s movements were not slow at all.

In close combat, the whip couldn’t exert any power, but she had other means.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

Azalea waved her hand, and a large number of poisonous needles shot out from her sleeves and stabbed towards Paulina.

Paulina’s pupils shrank and she was forced to give up the attack. As she shook her spear, a vortex of energy formed in front of her.

All the poisonous needles that were shot were sucked into the whirlpool and completely lost their sharpness.

The red spear spun faster and faster, and the vortex became bigger and bigger.

When all the poison needles were sucked into the vortex, Paulina used her spear to pull the vortex of energy, made a circle in the air, and then suddenly pointed it in the direction of Azalea.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

A large number of poison needles shot towards Azalea fiercely at a faster speed than when they came.

A typical case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

Caught off guard, Azalea could only use her internal energy to build a protective shield in front of her.

“Ding, ding, ding…”

The poison needles hit the protective shield, splashing a large number of sparks, and the fierce force forced Azalea to retreat several steps.

In the first clash, it was obvious that Paulina, who had more fighting experience, had the upper hand.

“Break!”

Paulina did not miss any opportunity. When Azalea was forced to retreat, her spear stabbed out again like a dragon.

This move was incredibly fast.
