Chi Phantom

Now defended against Danika's precision strikes, he advanced with renewed confidence. When Danika's next strike connected with his reinforced form, the impact reverberated back through her own arm, causing her to grimace.

"She needs to tag out," Raven said, stepping closer to the boundary line. "Her style isn't effective against Iron Body."

Noah placed a restraining hand on Raven's shoulder. "Wait. She knows what she's doing."

Indeed, rather than retreating, Danika adapted. Recognizing the futility of direct strikes against Vostok's reinforced body, she shifted to footwork and positioning, using her superior agility to gradually maneuver him toward the edge of the ring.

Vostok, realizing her strategy, intensified his offense. With a guttural shout, he channeled his Chi into a devastating overhead strike. Danika evaded, but the force of the impact against the ring floor sent shockwaves that disrupted her balance momentarily.
