Lianhua's Flame I

In the arena of the Echelonic Nexus Sect's recruitment tournament, Lianhua's presence commanded attention. As her bracket's battles began, she stepped forward with a determined grace, her Rivenstrike Hammer held at the ready. The crowd hushed in anticipation, eager to witness the fiery spectacle she was about to unveil.

Lianhua's first opponent was a lithe warrior known as Xia, a figure whose reputation preceded her as a master of serpentine martial arts. As the battle unfolded, the anticipation in the arena was palpable, a collective inhale held in suspense. Xia's movements were a study in fluidity, each step and strike a testament to the graceful flow of water and the mesmerizing dance of a serpent.
