Mei Yue'er fixed her eyes on the target. She raised her hand and gathered Theríon into her palm.
At the moment when she was about to unleash something, her opponent helplessly held up both hands: "I give up."
The fierceness in Yue'er's eyes went blank. A moment of silence passed through the Colosseum before the spectators found their voices.
"What the?!"
"Well, I guess this is only natural."
At first, many spectators were angry that Lian Fu had conceded. They wanted to see what the gathered power would do. Then they considered the decision from her side of the arena. She had already spent valuable pills and most of her Theríon to survive the earlier exchange. Continuing now meant spending even more against an opponent whose aura had surged again.
Instead of spending more, it would be better to save those means and use them in an actual life-and-death situation.
So, the crowd gave them both a round of applause in the end.
As for Yue'er, she was frustrated.
