Cassandra didn't refuse. She nodded and prepared to step into the arena.
"Ms. Lennon, please wait a moment," Sebastian called out, stopping her in her tracks. He approached her and gently took hold of her left hand.
Just as Cassandra was about to get angry, she heard Sebastian's voice as he whispered in her ear, "It's me, Sebastian."
Cassandra's eyes widened in shock as her mouth fell agape. There was disbelief written all over her face. She couldn't believe that Sebastian was still alive, let alone disguised as Flynn.
Once the initial shock passed, a wave of excitement washed over her. She wanted desperately to ask Sebastian where he had been all this time, but now clearly wasn't the moment.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Sebastian channeled a surge of spiritual energy into her body, which left Cassandra even more astonished.
She noticed that the energy Sebastian transferred was peculiar yet harmonized perfectly with her own, causing no conflict at all.
"Be careful, now. Go on," Sebastian said, winking at her before releasing her hand.
Seeing this, Jeremiah was once again filled with rage.
Cassandra had previously been involved with Sebastian, and now she was openly flirting with Flynn.
Even so, she stubbornly refused to marry him. This was an outright humiliation to Jeremiah.
Cassandra originally didn't have much confidence in herself. But with Sebastian's encouragement and the pure energy he had infused into her, she felt reinvigorated.
Brimming with newfound confidence, she strode forward until she was just a short distance from Ulrich.
Ulrich gave her a once-over, nodding in approval. "Not bad. Truly not bad. You're quite a beautiful lady."
"Enough with the talk. Come at me," Cassandra replied, pointing her sword at him. Her battle spirit was surging.
Ulrich shook his head, saying, "Beautiful lady, you're not my match. You should step down and let someone else take your place. I wouldn't want to accidentally hurt you that would make me feel bad.
Ignoring his words, Cassandra lunged at him with her sword.
Cassandra was never one to tolerate disrespect, and Ulrich's repeated attempts to flirt had pushed her patience to the limit. She decided it was time to teach him a lesson.
But Ulrich remained unfazed. He sidestepped her attack and while wielding a two-foot-long scepter, he thrust it toward Cassandra's abdomen.
There was no denying Ulrich's strength. His reactions were swift, and his strikes quick and powerful.
His cultivation was at the middle pinnacle stage, giving him formidable attack power.
Cassandra blocked his attack with her sword, but the impact still left her hands feeling numb.
Ulrich flashed a charming smile before launching a ferocious assault.
The scepter in his hands moved with precision and agility with each strike as fast as lightning and as forceful as a storm.
Within moments, Cassandra was forced to retreat. She was unable to mount any effective counterattacks.
Bellamy looked on with pride. Ulrich was the weakest of the three Everlight representatives, yet he was performing so well. It was clear that Everlight was brimming with talent. Meanwhile, the heads of Phaedra Island's four major families looked increasingly grim. Cassandra's current strength was nearly on par with Jeremiah's. If she lost, Jeremiah's chances of victory wouldn't be much better.
Just when everyone thought Cassandra's defeat was certain, she suddenly leaped into the air while gripping her sword with both hands. She slashed down at Ulrich with all her might. Ulrich was filled with disdain. He merely raised his scepter to block the blow.
Then came a thunderous crash as Cassandra's sword collided with the scepter, producing a deafening explosion.
Ulrich's expression changed dramatically. His feet sank into the ground, and the surrounding area cracked like a spider's web, rapidly spreading outward.
"Ugh!" Ulrich spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes grew wide with shock and disbelief.
"What?"
Bellamy was equally stunned. He was clearly not expecting such a turn of events.
