Angela's Weakness

The water, the further away they got from the shore seemed to have energy dampening properties and made it harder for them to sense what was underwater, and it was only because of Lex's and Ella's extremely sharp senses that they sensed its presence a second before they were attacked by it.

The Jade Empress sensed it a few instants after due to her spiritual sense not being able to be spread as far as Lex as she didn't have much energy and didn't want to risk disturbing Anglea's cultivation.

Angela, hearing that Lex wanted her to take on the beast and use it to test and show how capable she was smiled and she wasn't the same weak, little girl she was before.

She had become a cultivation fanatic that wasn't scared of facing anyone and was cold to the world and everything else that happened around her, apart from her two companions who would draw out the warmth of her saint healing spiritual roots.
