After Little White spat out a demon core similar to Sophie Shangguan's top-grade Fire Spirit Pearl, Sophie was equally shocked. However, unlike the audience's astonishment, she merely furrowed her brows slightly. Then, with a graceful hand, she caught the Fire Spirit Pearl that was rapidly orbiting her, while her other hand quickly formed a spell gesture.

"Let's see how much power you, this imposter, truly have!" Sophie shouted softly.

In the instant Sophie held the Fire Spirit Pearl, her aura suddenly surged. The fire python beneath her rapidly expanded, and within a breath, its head rose to a height of fifteen meters, overshadowing Little White and transforming into a genuine giant python.

Simultaneously, the flames on the fire python turned a deep, eerie red, causing the temperature around the dueling platform to rise swiftly. The air around the flames seemed to distort, and even the referee disciple, with a cultivation at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, couldn't help but form a spell gesture to cast a semi-transparent mana shield.
