Chance Encounter

2/14/2026

Hearing Lily Zhao's words, Lucy Bai hadn't spoken yet.

Lily Zhao simply waved her hand, and all the surrounding white radiance instantly withdrew into her body.

All the strands of white radiance faded away.

At the same time, Lily Zhao's aura began to surge higher and higher.

The darkness beyond the radiance gradually emerged.

"Are you all right?"

The white radiance had just withdrawn.

Evan Lin saw Grandmaster Phoenix Bai's figure flash to Lucy Bai's side. She reached out, grabbed Lucy's wrist, looking concerned.

"You scared me just now. I really thought something had happened to you. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."

Phoenix Bai stared at Lucy Bai, her gaze intense.

After reaching out, Phoenix Bai quietly began checking Lucy Bai's condition.

What she found made Phoenix Bai's heart surge with uncontrollable joy.

She could sense that Lucy Bai before her had changed greatly compared to just moments ago.

Her spiritual perception had grown much stronger.

Seeing this change, Phoenix Bai could barely contain her excitement.

Lucy, you have no idea how worried Grandmaster was when you were taken into that white light.

An elder stepped forward at that moment, chiming in support.

Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster. I feel all right.

Lucy Bai nodded.

Yvette Locke had already bounced over to Evan Lin's side. She first looked at Evan with concern, and seeing he seemed unharmed, she turned with curiosity to Lily Zhao, who stood beside him.

She's a promising talent.

Lily Zhao looked at Yvette Locke, who was holding Evan Lin's sleeve in a dependent way: "To see a Fire Spirit Physique today, I suppose that's fate between us."

Let me grant you an opportunity.

She was straightforward: with a single finger, a ray of spiritual light shot out and instantly merged into Yvette Locke's body.

Ah!

Yvette Locke instinctively cried out.

But soon, she realized her body didn't feel any different. She looked at Lily Zhao, confused.

You'll have to experience what this spiritual light does for yourself in the days to come.

Lily Zhao nodded at Yvette Locke.

So that's what was inside the door...

Damien Graves suddenly didn't know how to address Lily Zhao.

He stared at Lily Zhao, amazed, unable to find words to describe her.

Damien Graves had thought there was some special magic artifact inside the door, but to his surprise, there was a person!

How long has this person been alive?

Without food or water, for so many years—hundreds, maybe thousands?

Just thinking about it made Damien Graves shiver with fear.

At this moment, he had none of his usual arrogance as a Hong Kong grandmaster—only humility, wishing he could hide away, terrified that one wrong word would get him killed instantly by this woman.

Junior Phoenix Bai greets the senior.

Phoenix Bai was still holding Lucy Bai's hand. When she saw Lily Zhao send a ray of spiritual light into Yvette Locke's body, she couldn't help but get excited.

She looked at Lily Zhao: "It's a blessing for a junior like me to meet a senior such as you."
