[ POV: Amelia Scarlett ]


    Sam''s body was now engulfed in crimson fire, which grew more untamed and expansive, eventually taking the form of a colossal thirty-meter dragon.


    "Holy shit!" one of the disciples blurted out, his eyes wide with shock as he gazed at the colossal dragon crafted from crimson fire.


    It surveyed the onlookers menacingly, and I noticed a few disciples shivering at the sight of the fiery beast.


    I wondered if it was genuinely terrifying or if they were merely overwhelmed by its presence. Strangely, I didn''t sense any oppression or fear from the fiery dragon. Perhaps it was because of Sam. "He''s such a cheeky person," I couldn''t help but blush.


    Sam''s graceful gesture absorbed the ring of intense yellow Earth fire generated by Liu Ming''s innate ability into the fiery maw of his crimson dragon. The dragon grew even larger, seeming to feed off the Earth fire and expand in size.


    Liu Ming muttered in disbelief, "How can this be? I''ve been cultivating my Earth fire for years, and it gets absorbed by his Crimson Dragon fire like a snack... How can there be such a vast difference in power between us?"


    My Sam chuckled and warned, "Try your best to defend, or you won''t make it live."


    "Attack!" With a simple wave of his right hand, Sam sent the crimson dragon of flames hurtling toward Liu Ming, appearing as though it would consume him entirely.


    Liu Ming, realizing the gravity of the situation, swiftly summoned his innate ability, Earth fire. I could see his body pulsating with spiritual energy as he channeled every ounce of his abundant power into the Earth fire.


    But it seemed too late, and in all honesty, it appeared there was little he could do to defend against Sam''s formidable flames. Even from my position in the bleachers, I could sense the sheer intensity of the crimson dragon''s fiery onslaught.


    A ball of yellowish fire erupted around Liu Ming, enveloping his body like a protective barrier. Inside, he looked drained and pale, as though he had expended every ounce of his energy.


    The fiery dragon descended upon him with its jaws wide open, resembling a ferocious beast attempting to devour Liu Ming in one gulp.


    Meanwhile, behind him, Huang Jian also found himself in a dire situation, with the crimson dragon flames closing in on Liu Ming. He muttered, "This is bad... if I get hit by that thing, I''ll be eliminated."


    Desperation led him to employ his Avatar''s hand as a makeshift shield to protect himself from the encroaching crimson flames.


    As the crimson flames neared Liu Ming, they collided with the protective barrier formed by his Earth Fire.


    BOOM!


    A resounding explosion reverberated through the arena, and flames and smoke shrouded the entire battleground. For a brief moment, no one could discern what had transpired within that smoky collision.


    As the haze dissipated, I witnessed Liu Ming lying on the ground, his body marked with severe burns, and his clothing nearly reduced to ash, leaving only his undergarments hanging on.


    His condition appeared even worse than that of Guo Feng.


    In contrast, Huang Jian stood unscathed near Liu Ming, his Avatar having shielded him completely from harm. It was the Avatar, after all, and it seemed that Sam''s Crimson Flames hadn''t possessed the strength to penetrate its defenses.


    Sam''s eyes gleamed with curiosity as he observed Huang Jian''s unscathed condition. "Interesting... it appears my flames weren''t potent enough to harm your Avatar."


    Huang Jian''s eyes widened in what looked like sheer terror.


    "Since my flames can''t affect your Avatar, how about my...ice?" Suddenly, an overwhelming surge of white dragon aura erupted, and I could sense the arena growing colder by the moment.


    Huang Jian, sensing the change, acted quickly. His Avatar launched a powerful punch toward Sam.


    Spiritual energy swirled around Sam, and I watched as he made a swift, waving motion. First, the very ground under his feet became coated in ice.


    The icy layer began to spread rapidly, covering the entire arena in a sheet of ice. From where I sat, I could feel the air growing denser, and I could only imagine the intensity of it felt by Huang Jian, who was much closer to the source.


    Huang Jian''s Avatar was the only reason he remained unencased in ice. The cold rapidly encroached around Sam, forming a dome of ice. Sam raised his hand, causing the ice to expand outward, halting Huang Jian''s Avatar''s punch in its tracks.


    "No way!" Huang Jian''s expression twisted, and he looked visibly agitated. He clenched his teeth, his eyes turning bloodshot. "I won''t accept this."


    His spiritual energy surged from his body as he continued, "You hear me? I won''t accept this! I refuse to believe that you''re so much stronger than me!"


    Sam chuckled in response. "Hehe, is that so? But I am stronger than you. What are you going to do about it?"


    This fellow had a penchant for provoking his opponents. I shook my head with a tired smile.


    "You know," Sam''s mother said beside me, sighing, "we should finish off our opponents immediately after gaining the upper hand. We shouldn''t drag out the battle."


    What was Sam doing, intentionally dragging out the battle and taunting his enemies to push them to their limits?


    "You... I''m going to beat you into pulp!" Huang Jian lost his composure at Sam''s provocative words. His Avatar quivered, and with a surge of spiritual energy, it struck Sam''s ice dome with all its strength.


    Sam encouraged him, saying, "Yes, that''s it. Put your utmost effort into it."


    As Huang Jian''s spiritual energy poured into his Avatar, it grew tougher and mightier. However, Sam maintained his ice dome with an abundance of spiritual energy, and it showed no signs of weakening, even as Huang Jian''s punches caused a small crack.


    "But a crack is useless because..." Sam raised his hand inside the ice dome, channeling more spiritual energy to seal the crack. "I can do this. What will you do now?"


    Huang Jian had seemingly lost his mind, launching a relentless barrage of punches, each met with a resounding BOOM when it hit the ice dome. But no matter what he did, he couldn''t inflict any damage and was rapidly depleting his spiritual energy.

    Suddenly, Sam''s expression shifted, his interest waning. "Bloody hell."


    He raised his hand again, releasing an incredible amount of spiritual energy that caused the ice to expand, covering the entire arena. The sound of cracking echoed.


    It was as if a blizzard had descended upon the arena, slowing the Avatar that had been relentlessly pounding Sam''s ice dome.


    "This Ice Qi... his Frozen Abyssal Dragon bloodline is incredibly pure," I overheard the matriarch of the Hailstorm Clan mutter in utter astonishment.


    On the arena.


    Huang Jian felt the overwhelming ice energy surrounding his Avatar. Soon, the entire Avatar was encased in ice. Huang Jian couldn''t believe his eyes.


    With a wave of his hand, Sam dispelled the ice dome, saying, "It was entertaining, thanks for the show."


    With that, Sam''s Dao Emperor Avatar delivered a punch that shattered Huang Jian''s Avatar into pieces, leaving the entire crowd in stunned silence.


    Huang Jian fell to his knees, then onto his back, his gaze directed upwards. It was understandable; he had pushed himself to the limit in his battle against Sam, and all of his spiritual energy had been completely depleted.


    His condition was genuinely pitiable.


    In stark contrast, Sam appeared as robust as ever. He exuded an air of confidence and arrogance, and I could feel my desire for him intensify.


    At this point, I just wanted to give myself to him, both in body and in mind.
