"Who's going first?"
"I'll go."
Ying Muyao formed an avatar using Hailbo as a reflection point.
This method had its flaws; once Ying Muyao fought through the avatar, all the pressure had to be borne by Hailbo, who currently lacked the ability to withstand even a king-level Law Manifestation.

Ali let the panda run to one side while she crouched down, crushed her tobacco pipe, and let it disintegrate into a stream of reddish-golden light.
"I've fought you many times already,"

"But you're stronger than you were a thousand years ago!"
Ali's eyes shifted subtly, not with fear, but filled with excitement and anticipation.
