Regardless of how astonished everyone felt, Sybil finished her speech without any rush.
Finally, Sybil said, "Since you are all willing to come to our Holy Kelidos Empire and wish to engage in a friendly battle exchange, we certainly will not refuse."
"I will not waste any more words; let the battle exchange begin this very night."
"If any of you from the two great empires wish to strike first, feel free to step forward, and we will naturally dispatch someone of the same class rank to respond."
"Of course, if you have a specific person you wish to challenge, you may extend an invitation to them, provided they are present."
"So, who will go first?"
Following Sybil's words, the people from the two great empires couldn't help but exchange glances.
Ultimately, on the Varian Empire side, Queenie of the Nature Sect could no longer restrain herself and stepped out.
Her appearance drew numerous gazes upon her.
"Sister Sybil, may I ask if the Transcenders of your Radiant Light Church have arrived?"
This question, posed by Queenie, immediately caused the Transcenders from the two great empires to perk up their ears.
Sybil smiled faintly. "They have certainly arrived."
They are already here, but where are they?
Queenie scanned the surroundings in confusion, yet she still did not see a single familiar face.
This prompted her to ask, "Why haven't any of the Transcenders I know appeared?"
Sybil smiled. "Perhaps they are occupied with other matters. Besides, there is no need for our Radiant Light Church to summon every single Transcender for this exchange battle. As long as there is someone suitable, that is enough."
Hearing Sybil say this, Queenie had nothing more to say. She could only state, "In that case, I am willing to represent the Transcenders of the Nature Sect and challenge any Transcender of the Radiant Light Church. Any one of them will do."
Upon hearing Queenie's words, Olivia had no choice but to stand up.
Under the gaze of many, Olivia walked step by step toward the center of the arena.
As for Sybil, she retreated from the central combat area of the hall without a sound.
Who is this?
When Queenie saw Olivia walk out, she couldn't help but be filled with confusion, for she had never seen Olivia before.
Regardless, since the opponent had stepped forward, it meant the Radiant Light Church had indeed arranged for a Transcender; it was just that the one arranged happened to be someone she did not recognize.
"Nature Sect, Queenie Harrington."
Queenie introduced herself.
Upon hearing this, Olivia replied, "Radiant Light Church, Olivia Melianne."
"Why have I never heard of you before?" Queenie looked at Olivia and asked the question very directly.
Olivia smiled faintly. "Perhaps my abilities are limited, which is why I lack notoriety."
"Then have you heard of me?" Queenie asked again.
"I have just heard of you now," Olivia laughed.
"Good. Then from now on, remember my name well, for I will leave a deep impression in your memory," Queenie said with great confidence.
Of course, she had the capital for such confidence.
Among the people Melanie had introduced to Olivia earlier, Queenie was one of them, considered the strongest Druid within the Transcender class rank!
No one expected that this strongest Druid would appear at the very beginning, which caused the Transcenders present to look at the two in the arena with great interest.
Olivia felt like laughing at what Queenie said, but her excellent upbringing allowed her to hold it back.
"I hope you can truly leave a deep impression on me. I am looking forward to it," Olivia said.
"I will satisfy your expectations."
As soon as Queenie finished speaking, her entire body underwent a change. In an instant, the petite girl transformed into a leopard.
This was a mane-covered leopard with black spots, the very creature known as a One-horned Thunder Leopard.
Seeing such a One-horned Thunder Leopard appear, Olivia felt a sense of familiarity wash over her.
Back in the iron cage at the underground black market, she had engaged in a battle with Luca, who had betrayed the Nature Sect.
That Druid had transformed into the form of a One-horned Thunder Leopard and fought her, eventually dying at her hands.
Now, another Druid and another One-horned Thunder Leopard appeared before her eyes.
However, Queenie's strength was far beyond what Luca could compare to.
The moment she transformed into the One-horned Thunder Leopard, Queenie pounced toward Olivia like a bolt of lightning, with astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, she was right in front of Olivia.
"Truly a beautiful pounce."
Many Transcenders from the Nature Sect immediately began to praise Queenie's performance.
When a Druid transforms from a human form into a monster form, they naturally experience some discomfort in their movements.
Therefore, how to adjust is a problem every Druid must study.
And Queenie handled this aspect remarkably well.
She acted as if she were a real One-horned Thunder Leopard, with natural movements and agile actions.
This naturally drew sighs of admiration from the other Transcenders in the Nature Sect who had embarked on the Druid transcendent path.
Facing the sharp claws descending before her, Olivia flipped her hand, and the Cross Grace appeared in her grip, then transformed into the size of a door panel and swiped directly forward.
"Boom!"
The two sides collided violently, and a piercing sound immediately spread outward.
Immediately following, Queenie swiftly maneuvered behind Olivia and launched another attack.
Olivia turned the Cross Grace into the size of a sword and swung it back, clashing with Queenie's claws once more.
In the short time that followed, the two engaged in rapid exchanges. Their figures flickered, their movements were swift and agile, and crisp clashing sounds permeated the air one after another.
Queenie's offensive was quite fierce, and she was agile, highly skilled at launching attacks from different angles to ensure they were impossible to defend against.
However, this style of combat was completely countered by Olivia, because she clearly knew what Queenie's next move would be.
Therefore, she was able to deal with Queenie with a remarkably composed attitude, always using seemingly simple methods to dissolve Queenie's fierce offensives.
Excellent combat proficiency, combined with the ability of foreknowledge, allowed Olivia not only to neutralize every attack but also to cleverly counterattack, gradually taking control of the entire rhythm and slowly suppressing Queenie.
This scene caused the expressions of the members of the Nature Sect to change, as they sensed something was wrong.
