"Third Match: Zi Han, the Twin Blade Disciple of the Celestial Edge Sect… versus Lady Zu of the Whispering Wind Temple!"
Zi Han stepped into the ring first, his silver twin blades humming softly at his back. His long hair was tied behind his head, his white robes streaked with the sigil of twin crescent moons—his blades, legendary for their speed and precision. His steps were confident but calm, like a swordsman who had tasted battle a thousand times.
Opposite him, descending gently from the sky, Lady Zu landed like a falling petal—barely disturbing the platform. She was clad in pale green robes that billowed even when there was no wind, her long fan folded in one hand. A sapphire pendant glowed at her neck, channeling the element of wind through her entire body. Her eyes sparkled with mischief and danger.
The bell chimed.
A gust of wind swept the arena.
And then—
"Begin!"
FLASH!
