Because the Huaxia side was too strong, most of the gangs withdrew during the scramble stage, making this challenge match different from previous ones.
As soon as the challenge match began, the European Supernatural Alliance challenged the Italian Mafia.
The Italian Mafia's strength was among the most formidable of these twelve powers, with the capability to contend for the top three in previous matches.
During the earlier scramble, as the Italian Mafia was the last faction to withdraw besides Huaxia, their temporary ranking was fourth.
The European Supernatural Alliance, seeing no hope of securing a top-three spot this time, naturally set their sights on the Italian Mafia.
"Peris represents the European Supernatural Alliance and challenges the Italian Mafia!" Peris stepped out from the crowd, her voice ringing out.
Her voice was clear and her demeanor distinguished, immediately drawing the attention of all parties.
"So cool!"
Zhao Qingqing watched the heroic Peris, her bright eyes filled with admiration and envy. So, women could also exude their own charm on the battlefield, just like men.
Isabella stood obediently beside Zhang Fan, her pure eyes glancing towards the Mafia's side. She then shook her head and said, "Sister Peris might not be a match for these few from the Mafia. She's likely to suffer a disadvantage."
This time, she didn't stop Peris from challenging the Mafia because she knew, regardless of the outcome, Peris's nature would compel her to fight for the honor of the European Supernatural Alliance.
"You little thing, your strength isn't much, but your foresight is quite something," Zhang Fan chuckled, ruffling Isabella's hair.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Isabella's face lit up with a smug smile.
Although Peris was very strong, she was the one initiating the challenge and needed to defeat three opponents from the Mafia consecutively, which was indeed a tough ask.
Furthermore, the participants from the Mafia this time were no ordinary individuals.
"This girl has some skill. Who among us goes first?"
Challenged, the Mafia members were not surprised. After all, given their position, being challenged was a normal occurrence.
However, even when facing the formidable European Supernatural Alliance, the Mafia's participants showed no signs of nervousness, appearing quite relaxed.
For no other reason than they had three people, while Peris had only one.
"I'll go. Even if I can't win, I can at least wear her down," Summers volunteered. While confident, he was prepared for defeat against Peris.
After all, despite Peris not having fully revealed her strength, her position as the leader of the European Supernatural Alliance this time meant she couldn't be underestimated.
"Alright." Jade La nodded. As the leader of the Mafia's participants, he had a good understanding of Summers' strength, differing by only a hair's breadth from his own.
Peris versus Summers.
Both were peak transcendents, and as soon as they clashed, the intense energy fluctuations whipped up waves several meters high on the sea.
After dozens of exchanges, Summers could no longer hold on and was defeated.
No one appeared surprised by this outcome, as they all knew Summers' role was to wear Peris down, not necessarily to defeat her.
And now, Summers had achieved his objective. After dozens of rounds, the fierce battle had indeed taken a toll on Peris.
However, Peris's expression remained unchanged, appearing extremely composed.
"Your turn." Summers returned to the Mafia's gathering spot and said to Jade La.
"En." Jade La nodded, leaped off the reef, and landed steadily on the sea surface, facing Peris from a distance.
"Your strength is indeed considerable, but you're still quite a way off from defeating me. Why not consider conserving your energy for challenging other gangs?"
Jade La exuded a refined aura, his handsome face graced with a gentle smile. He spoke to Peris warmly, like a gentleman.
"Don't play these mind games now. The fourth position is ours, the Supernatural Alliance is determined to have it." Peris replied icily.
Jade La's seemingly kind reminder was merely an attempt to weaken her fighting spirit, preventing her from fully concentrating during the battle.
Having cultivated to her current level, Peris was a seasoned warrior and naturally understood these tactics. Jade La's calculated words had no effect on her.
"If that's the case, then it's truly a pity." Jade La shook his head.
Both were top-tier powerhouses below the Saint realm, comparable to those in the half-Saint domain of the Huaxia martial arts world. Their battle was even more ferocious than before.
Watching the fight between the two sides, the other factions were contemplating their own optimal targets.
"Sister Peris is about to unleash her power." As the two were locked in a fierce battle, Isabella, standing beside Zhang Fan, suddenly spoke.
Indeed, just a few seconds after Isabella's words, Peris unleashed a powerful move. Tremendous blue energy converged on the sea surface, forming seven rotating orbs of energy that enveloped Jade La.
The orbs spun, creating immense tearing forces that left Jade La looking somewhat dishevelled.
However, no matter how he struck, he couldn't break free from these seven rotating energy spheres.
The energy spheres grew smaller as they spun, and the tearing force intensified, making Jade La feel a sense of impending death.
He hadn't expected Peris's strength to be this formidable.
"I surrender!" To save his life, Jade La was forced to utter this word that represented humiliation.
Peris waved her hand, and the seven swirling blue energy bodies transformed into streams of energy, which she absorbed into herself. Her slightly pale face regained some color.
Clearly, the previous move had taken a significant toll on her.
Having defeated two opponents consecutively, the morale of the Supernatural Alliance members soared, filling them with excitement.
"As far as I know, among the three participants from the Mafia this time, Jade La is the strongest, with Summers second. Both have been defeated by Peris, so the next person should be no match for her," one of the Supernatural Alliance participants exclaimed excitedly.
However, it was surprisingly unexpected that despite two consecutive defeats, the Mafia did not appear disheartened. Instead, they remained remarkably calm.
"Sidler, it seems it's up to you now." Jade La returned to the Mafia's gathering spot and addressed a white-haired youth.
"Very well. I've held back long enough. It's time to showcase true skill." The white-haired youth nodded lightly, but his gaze drifted towards the Huaxia side.
Evidently, he didn't consider Peris a significant threat.
