“Tai Ya, the eldest daughter of Mr Chief. Slave to humans since young sent back to the tribe at fourteen by her human master then spent years cultivating in the Valley of Ice and Wind. She previously showed off her skills at the mock war, speculated to have attained the Di Earth Level!” mused the assassin. This was what he knew about her.

“What I didn’t expect was that you’re not a Di Level fighter but you’ve already attained the Tian Heavenly Level! Not bad for a young girl like you in her twenties, it is something to be proud of! This is indeed a miracle…” he continued calmly as if even a Tian level fighter was not a problem to him.

“Tian level?!” gasped the crowd after listening to the assassin’s conclusion. They didn’t know the adorable girl had already achieved such a level of mastery.

“I don’t know who trained a miracle like you… Also, I wonder who your human master was. Why would they send a treasure like you back?”

“That’s none of your business, you should focus here for I am about to KILL you!” said Tigress coldly. She had no time for small talk.

“You want to kill me? You seem to be in such a hurry! Do you know there are sublevels within the Tian level? You’re only at the first level, darling…” waved the assassin. This meant he was way beyond the first Tian level.

“Sublevels? What are those?” Tigress scoffed then lunged quickly with her spear again. He was now trapped in a corner.

“?!” The assassin was caught in surprise again. He hadn’t expected her fighting style to be so decisive, flawless too.

The flawlessness was what shocked him the most. He was aware that even his own fighting style had its weaknesses even if they were tiny.

“Haargh…”

The assassin had no choice to block her spear with his longsword, putting all his strength into one direct slash and changing her spear’s direction. He had to pry the spear away to make space for his escape.

“Slash of a Thousand Armies!” Before the assassin could recover, Tigress swept her spear horizontally across the side of his torso!

The assassin did a backflip immediately to avoid the spear but that was not the end of Tigress’ attack.

The crowd and the assassin had not seen the spear being used in combat like this. She expertly switched from using one hand to two hands…

Forehand to backhand…

A twist here, a slash there…

All her moves using Tai Ya’s blade were unimaginable!

“Back-thrust!”

Tigress faked a move so the assassin would charge at her again, then immediately thrusting at his chest. He was shocked. Though he dodged in time, he was still hurt.

It had been many years since he had seen his own blood, these years only involved him watching other people bleed!

“Not bad! Sub levels are indeed not important! Miss Tai Ya, I now understand what you meant!” The assassin deliberately distanced himself far away from her then bandaged his injury at lightning speed. He smiled.
