Strange Creature

When Bai Wuxin stepped out of the arena, reality suddenly dawned upon her.

Even at the peak of one's strength, there could still be setbacks and challenges that no amount of preparation could mitigate.

It was a sobering realization for someone who had prided herself on her cultivation and the powerful legacy of the Bai clan.

For all the praise she had received, Zhou Mei's actions had struck a jarring note in her otherwise perfect world, grounding her in a reality she hadn't fully prepared for.

Instead of lashing out in anger or frustration, Bai Wuxin wore a strange calmness that left many observers puzzled.

It was not the reaction they had expected. They had anticipated her to rage, to summon the wrath of the Bai clan, but instead, she simply stared into the distance, her mind seemingly focused elsewhere.

The contrast between her composed demeanor and the bubbling resentment within her was unnerving.
