Instead of being surprised, Thorin smiled, "That's what you wanted to come here for."

Thorin, who had become the lord of Fox City at the age of fourteen, completely surpassed her peers in mind and thinking, and it was not difficult to judge what the other person was thinking from their expressions and eyes.

Just now, when Solin revealed her identity to Gist, she noticed excitement and even war intent in Gist's eyes when she looked at her.

From this glance, Thorin judged that Gist might be a samurai who wandered around in order to be able to fight the strong.

Of course, this is just Sorrin's judgment, and as for whether her judgment is really correct, she can't tell herself. The reason why I said such things was just to confirm my thoughts.

"That's exactly what I planned to do before I met the demons. It's just that after the demon appeared, I had one more reason to come here." Gerst smiled and said, "So, Ms. Sorin, I wonder if you're willing to accept my challenge?" Of course, we're just a regular exchange, and we're up there. I'm not going to take up too much of your time, and besides, you should be free right now, right?"

The timing of Gerst's offer to talk to Sorine was subtle, just after Sorine had passed on the instructions, and Sorine had already explained the most important things, and Sorine was theoretically free until Payant and Gofeidor gave feedback.

Soreen knew that Gerst had taken advantage of this, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart for a little cleverness of Gerst.

"In that case, okay, let's take it as today's cultivation, and I hope that Mr. Gerst can show the strength that surprised me."

With that, Thorin made a "please" gesture to Gerst.

——————————————

In the north-central part of the city of Phothes, about a kilometer away from the castle of the lords, there is a huge cylindrical building, which is the arena of the castle of Phothes.

The arena of Phorces, where the Knights once trained their guards, was abandoned after Thorin launched a purge within the Knights. Later, in order to find a suitable place for daily practice, Soreen and Paiante restarted the arena.

The arena is also open to the public. Some adventurers in the city of Phothes, or people with a certain strength, come to this place from time to time to practice martial arts.

There are even times when people have conflicts, if they are not willing to use the laws of the city of Phothes, or if the laws of the city of Phothes are difficult to decide, they will come here and compete to decide which is right and which is wrong. Over time, the arena of Phothestown also became a place for people to mediate their personal grievances.

The overall structure of the arena consists of a ring of stands in addition to a large ring in the center. There are not many places in the stands, after all, in the past, the stands were a place for the Knights to more easily and intuitively observe the results of the guards' training, not the so-called "spectator seats".

To this day, these stands have been abandoned, and Witnesses will only appear in the stands when there is a personal grudge that needs to be reconciled. In normal times, the stands are usually empty and closed.

Thorin and Paiante like to come here in their spare time to practice or practice martial arts, while Gofedor barely sets foot in the arena, and at most only watches the people fighting in the ring with a smile on his face from the stands.

That's where Sorin brought Gerst.

It was just noon, and the arena was empty, just in time for Thorin and Gust to fight.

Standing in the ring, Gust felt as if the ring had magical power, which aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.

Thorin stood across from Gust, and she stripped off the light armor she wore on her body, leaving only a sleeveless cotton shirt, the toned muscles looming under the close-fitting cotton shirt.

"Lady Sorin's figure is really perfect......" Seeing this scene, Gerst couldn't help but let out an admiration. He paused, then continued, "But don't you really need to put on the light armor? I've said I've done it at this point, but I can't guarantee that I can control my strength well, and I could get a mistake."

"Mr. Gerst, I'm very aware of my strength. So, please don't worry about Mr. Gerst, and use your power to the fullest. And I'm ...... Standing in this place, I won't care about your identity, so if you offend, please bear with me."

Thorin's face was full of confidence, she smiled, drew the sword at her waist, and pointed at Gerst, "Come on, Mr. Gerst, show me your strength."

"I can't ask for it......" Gust's excitement was completely ignited, he summoned the ghost abyss, and began to mobilize the power of the revenant soul in his body.

Immediately, cyan flames appeared on Gust's body and on the sword of Onibuchi, and the color of his pupils also turned cyan like ghost fire, which was a manifestation of Kawasheng's possession.

(Is the power of the revenant...... ）

Seeing the changes in Gerst's body, Thorin couldn't help but think like this.

In order to respect the Gust in front of her, Sorine did not slack off, and started the fighting spirit. A pale golden cyclone surrounded Sorin's body, and the long sword in his hand began to glow with pale golden light.

The pale golden fighting soul is the highest level in the fighting soul, and only the strongest among the strong can cultivate the pale golden fighting soul, and there are only a handful of such strong people. And Sorin, on the other hand, is one of the few strong men.

In fact, there was only one human with a pale golden fighting soul in the entire Southern Continent, and that was Sorin.

Seeing the pale golden fighting spirit surrounding Sorin's body, Gust's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of pleasure.

"Hahahahaha! They were right, the Sword Emperor was indeed a true powerhouse!"

As soon as the words fell, Gerst swung the ghost abyss and slashed to the ground, and then whispered softly, "Funeral of the dead fire......

The moment Oni Yuan touched the ground, the cyan flames that ignited on the body of the Oni Yuan Sword immediately spread out, and in less than two seconds, the ground of the entire ring was lit with cyan flames.

These cyan flames burning on the ground, while not causing burns like normal flames, weaken anyone who touches them. These cyan flames burn energy, and will slowly deplete the energy of those who touch the flames.

As a caster, of course, Gust will not be affected, and what he wants to do is gain an advantage in the arena.

However, to Gerst's surprise, Thorin stood in these cyan flames as if she was nothing, and her face remained calm throughout.

If you look closely, Gerst can see that the fighting spirits surrounding Thorin's body have completely canceled out all the cyan flames that are close to Sorrin. In other words, the field advantage that Gerst wanted to form did not play a role in the face of Sorin's powerful fighting spirit.

Gust smiled helplessly, "Then I'd better be more direct......

With that, Gust summoned the revenant spirit of the humanoid monster with a long knife that he had summoned during the battle against Artevans from the realm of the revenant and integrated it into his body.

In the face of a warrior of Sorin's level, Gerst knew that it was absolutely not enough for Kawasheng to possess him.

Ready, Gerst moved and instantly burst in front of Thorin and attacked. This time, the howl of the revenant soul emitted by the sword body of the oni abyss as it slashed through the air was even more pronounced.

Thorin could clearly hear the howls of the dead echoing in her ears, but it didn't seem to take any toll on her spirit. Facing Gerst's sword, Thorin shook the long sword in his hand at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Gust heard only a crisp sound of metal colliding, and then a tremendous pressure was sent through his arm, which even made Gust fall backwards on his feet.

In order not to expose himself, Gust hurriedly jumped a few steps back, distanced himself from Sorin, and then immediately stabilized his body.

(That was the ...... just now.) ）

Gerst's expression was a little surprised, but more of an exclamation. He couldn't imagine that Thorin already had such great power just by blocking his sword. Gerst even felt that if it weren't for the physical strength strengthened by the blessing of the revenant, the strength of the sword that Soreen had just swung might have been able to break his arm.

Gerst didn't expect that there would be such a strange person in this world, judging from the strength of Sorin's sword just now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult for Soreen to tear a person apart with his bare hands.

After just one move, Gerst judged that he could not fight Thorin in close combat, so he had to call the ghosts of the abyss to help him.

"The realm of ten thousand ghosts!" With a roar, Gerst plunged the Oni Abyss into the ground and unfurled a huge cyan circle in the ring.

There were many rotating gear-like marks on this cyan circle, and each mark gradually revealed a white phantom, and these white phantoms were the souls of the dead who lived in the ghost abyss.

In , the more revenants Gust summons, the more intense the cyan flames he can burst out, and the summoned revenants can also attack the targets in it.

"It's a good tactic to use your strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses after recognizing your own shortcomings." Thorin looked at the reels around her and smiled, "But, even so, I still have a way to deal with it."

"Crescent Blade!" Gerst summoned the revenant spirit of the knife-wielding monster that had fused into his body, ready to unleash a powerful blow on Thorin. At the same time, he gave instructions to all the revenants summoned by him to attack.

Nearly a hundred revenants attacked Thorin in different ways at the same time, and Gerst also tightened his grip on the demon abyss, swinging a huge cyan flame blade along with the sword-wielding monster that appeared behind him.

A jumble of attacks headed towards Thorin at the same time, seemingly leaving her with no room to dodge.

However, Thorin only smiled faintly as he looked at the various attacks that were approaching, and after condensing the fighting spirit into the long sword in his hand, he held the long sword in his backhand and quickly unleashed a whirling slash.

The pale golden fighting spirit condensed on the long sword formed an air blade, spreading out with Sorin's body as the center of the circle.

In an instant, the pale golden blade shattered all the attacks, and even the nearly a hundred revenant souls were all split in two.

Gust's seemingly powerful blow was instantly disintegrated by Thorin's sword.
