The next bout ignited a storm of anticipation—this time in the Bronze and Iron Grey Arenas, where the semifinalists were already stepping up.
In the Bronze Arena stood Xue Lan, her Snow Falcon perched gracefully upon her shoulder. A faint mist of frost shimmered around her feet—not from overwhelming elemental power, but from the falcon's natural aura. The true gift of the Moon Rank Snow Falcon wasn't ice—it was speed. Its awakening granted its master heightened reflexes, agility, and instantaneous movement—making Xue Lan a blur on the battlefield.
