The third notable figure was another young woman.
She had long black hair tied in an elegant style and wore green and gold robes. Her features were refined, almost aristocratic. But her eyes held a sharpness that spoke of countless battles.
Her name was Feng Qingya, ranked fourth on the Rising Dragon Rankings. She represented the Verdant Empress Pavilion, a powerful all-female sect from the Western Continent.
Feng Qingya's Martial Spirit was unique. A Tier 7 Heaven Grade Spirit called the World Tree Seedling. Unlike combat-focused spirits, hers specialized in support, healing, and growth. But that didn't make her weak. The World Tree granted her control over all plant life and the ability to drain vitality from her enemies while healing herself endlessly.
She'd earned her high ranking through sheer tactical brilliance and an ability to outlast any opponent. In a war of attrition, no one below the Martial Emperor Realm could defeat her.
