Before Genevieve took the stage, many people were filled with anticipation for this genius girl who was famous throughout the city.

  In particular, Gareth's arrogant attitude and cruel style had stirred up dissatisfaction among many spectators. Almost everyone in the audience hoped that Genevieve could teach Gareth a harsh lesson.

  But no one expected...

  The moment she manifested her Beast Totem, the audience couldn't help but gasp.

  Even the commentator, Leah, couldn't help but hesitate.

  Although Genevieve's third-place result in the Star City High Power Assessment Test had made headlines on the Star City News, when everyone saw the frail and weak appearance of her Totem Beast, they couldn't help but feel suspicious and worried.

  "Hmph, die!"

  Gareth crossed his arms, watching with interest as Doppelg?nger Number Three lunged at Genevieve.

  The sharp saber slashed horizontally at Genevieve.

  The audience held their breath, sweating nervously for her.

  However...

  Just as Gareth fully expected to end the battle in an instant, Genevieve's figure vanished instantly. The saber that Doppelg?nger Number Three had swung with all its might hit nothing but air.

  "What?" Gareth's heart gave a jolt.

  Thanks to the bizarre characteristics of the Doppelg?nger totem, every split clone possessed more than eighty percent of the main body's strength. If Doppelg?nger Number Three's attack could be easily dodged, it meant that the main body's attacks could also be easily dodged.

  "Hmph..."

  But Gareth quickly calmed himself down.

  "It's just a bit of speed. You can't win a match relying on speed alone."

  "Your Beast Totem can't even compare to an old hen raised in the countryside."

  "So what if you can dodge attacks? Can you hurt my Doppelg?nger Number Three?"

  Gareth began to mock Genevieve again.

  "Is that so?" Genevieve's cold voice came from the air. "Then, as you wish!"

  As her voice fell, Genevieve's figure, which had vanished, appeared abruptly behind Doppelg?nger Number Three.

  "Hmph, naive!" A cold sneer of a successful plot appeared on the corner of Gareth's mouth.

  Doppelg?nger Number Three revealed a similar sneer. Without turning around, it reversed its grip on the saber and thrust it backward through its own armpit, stabbing straight towards where Genevieve was standing, as if it had eyes in the back of its head.

  It turned out that although this Doppelg?nger Number Three was a clone, it shared the same origin and senses as the main body.

  This meant Gareth's vision was connected to it; what Gareth saw was transmitted to Doppelg?nger Number Three's eyes. Under these circumstances, a sneak attack was almost impossible!

  "It's over. At this distance, there is absolutely no possibility of you escaping."

  A look of triumph rose on Gareth's face, as if he could already see the dawn of winning three matches in a row.

  "Who said I was running?" Genevieve said disdainfully.

  In the next second, rings of ripples radiated from Genevieve's mouth.

  These ripples were like a tsunami, one wave higher than the last, enveloping Doppelg?nger Number Three.

  The surrounding air seemed to twist and boil. From a distance, Doppelg?nger Number Three's figure became illusory and blurred, like a mirage in the distance under a scorching sun.

  Doppelg?nger Number Three's muscles bulged all over its body, seemingly trying its best to leave the range of these ripples. However, no matter how hard it tried, its body couldn't move a single inch, suppressed like a motionless wax statue.

  Sounds of sizzling came from Doppelg?nger Number Three's body continuously, and soon, smoke began to rise from its skin.

  "AAAAAHHHH...!!!"

  In an instant, Doppelg?nger Number Three let out endless screams. The shrill cries spread throughout the arena, sounding like the wailing of a dying ape in the mountains.

  "Huh?!"

  In the distance, Gareth blinked with difficulty, simply unable to believe the scene before him.

  The air around Doppelg?nger Number Three vibrated more and more violently. Its screams became increasingly shrill, and the smoke rising from its body grew thicker and denser.

  In less than two breaths, a ball of fire burst out from Doppelg?nger Number Three, burning furiously.

  From a distance, it looked like a violently struggling fireball.

  The shrill screams made one's scalp numb. The black saber dropped from its hand, and the entire "person" fell directly onto the stage, rolling frantically.

  Genevieve, meanwhile, had long since stopped releasing the ripples. She stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching all this coldly.

  Before long, the smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.

  Watching such a horrifying scene, Gareth felt a wave of numbness wash over his scalp.

  He swallowed hard, his throat trembling.

  Educated from a young age by his father, a Beast Warrior, he had heard of almost every kind of Beast Totem. But he had never heard of such a strange totem or such a peculiar attack.

  The scene before him had far exceeded Gareth's scope of understanding!

  Not only him, but when the fire ignited on Doppelg?nger Number Three's body, the entire audience stand erupted like a pressure cooker, screaming in shock!

  Even the two commentators, Leah and Jude, were dumbfounded.

  Just half a minute ago, Leah felt that Genevieve's Beast Totem had no lethality. Even if she had an advantage in speed, it would be hard for her to do anything to Gareth's Doppelg?nger Number Three.

  But who knew...

  Genevieve would unleash such a strange and fierce attack! In an instant, Doppelg?nger Number Three was completely suppressed.

  "Is this... a Mythical Species?" It took a long time for those words to slowly pop out of commentator Leah's mouth.

  In her view, only a Mythical Species Beast Totem could achieve such inconceivable attacks.

  Moreover, thinking about it carefully, the appearance of that little grey bird was indeed rarely seen. At least in her impression, she had no memory of such a Beast Totem.

  "A Mythical Species?"

  "It's not impossible."

  "Although innate Mythical Species Beast Totems are extremely rare and incredibly difficult to cultivate, but..."

  "Who is Genevieve?"

  "The number one genius girl in Star City, a super scholar who got almost full marks in the Star City High entrance exam!"

  "And her family background is extremely wealthy."

  "Under these premises, it probably wouldn't be surprising at all if she possessed a Mythical Species Totem Beast."

  Although Jude said this, he was still extremely shocked in his heart.

  He had watched the entire live broadcast of the Star City High Power Assessment Test! He clearly remembered the crystal ball displaying Genevieve's Beast Totem as a Common Species, but...

  Could it be a Mythical Species totem that even the testing crystal ball couldn't detect?

  The secrets this Genevieve held were no fewer than Fly's.

  The audience began to chant Genevieve's name with the force of a mountain tsunami.

  "Looking at it this way, Gareth seems to have no chance of winning," Leah said.

  She felt refreshed; she had disliked that guy Gareth from the start. Now, seeing Genevieve's inconceivable performance, she didn't know what Gareth could rely on to win the match.

  Inside the Star City High contestant rest area.

  Fly stood up from the sofa with a start, his eyes fixed tightly on the screen broadcasting the match. Even 'Emperor' Valerius, who had been in the corner, came over, looking at the broadcast in disbelief.

  "Genevieve... she's actually this strong?!"

  Instantly, a layer of frustration covered Valerius's heart, which was already low.

  Since childhood, he had aimed for first place, and indeed, he had always been first.

  Until he came to Star City High...

  First, he ranked second in the entrance exam. Then, in the Power Assessment Test, he lost to the sudden rise of Fly, ranking second again.

  Now it seemed Genevieve might have been hiding her strength too.

  Faced with Genevieve's inconceivable performance just now, could he defeat her in a head-on fight?

  'Emperor' Valerius interrogated his own heart.

  This was the answer he arrived at after thinking.

  He felt that even if he used the ability of Infernal Transformation, he didn't have absolute confidence in taking Genevieve down.

  For a moment, a sense of absurdity enveloped Valerius. He clenched his fists tight, looking at the broadcast screen, and didn't speak for a long time.

  "A Mythical Species?" Fly stared at the broadcast screen.

  He hadn't expected Genevieve to be hiding such strength.

  Dean Sterling stared at the match broadcast, but his brow furrowed slightly.

  He thought to himself.

  As the former chosen son of Star City High and an outstanding graduate of the eight prestigious schools of The Tulip League, Dean Sterling's vision and knowledge were nothing short of exceptional.

  If he had only been slightly suspicious during the Power Assessment Test, he was now completely certain that Genevieve's strange attack came from that ancient sect—The Resonant Sect.

  Using sound waves to cause the air to vibrate violently, and using the heat generated by the vibration to burn the opponent... This was a typical attack method of The Resonant Sect.

  This ancient sect acted quite mysteriously, and its combat techniques were extremely difficult to cultivate. Nowadays, it was on the verge of being lost to history.

  In the last ten or twenty years, the only Resonant Sect branch still active was at Highmesa in The Martial Sanctum.

  Dean Sterling mused.

  ...

  On the other side, on the stage.

  "Are... are you going to kill me?" Looking at Genevieve, who was walking closer and closer with an expressionless face, Gareth couldn't help but tremble.

  "I'm not as low as you," Genevieve said.

  Although Gareth's attempt to kill Jett made her sick, she wouldn't ignore the rules of the match and use such underhanded means.

  Seeing Gareth's face full of fear, the corner of Genevieve's mouth hooked into a smile.

  She indeed wouldn't violate the match rules to kill Gareth.

  But she would make Gareth taste a terror that felt just like death.
