Lotus Dance vs Water Dragon [1]

The Battle Arena.

The Fourth Stage.

Yun Lan and Li Mei ascended to the stage, their eyes locked in a silent understanding.

Yun Lan's expression remained indifferent, but a flicker of anxiety danced within her. Li Mei, on the other hand, wore a wry smile, cursing their luck.

They were no strangers to each other. For the past three months, they had engaged in countless sparring sessions, honing their skills. But those bouts were mere practice, incomparable to the intensity of a real fight like this.

Reflecting on their past encounters, Li Mei had always fallen short in the first month of their sparring. However, after breaking through to the 5th level, her strength soared, and she gained the upper hand from the mid of the second month.

Yet, in the last third month, their fights had reached a stalemate. Victories were equal, draws were common. Now, the time had come to determine the true winner.

"Are both of you ready?" the referee asked.
