Chapter 105: Understanding the Gap
A solemn expression settled on Bu Shiyi's face as she stood across from Old Bai. Despite the arena's equalized power levels, the pressure she felt was immense.
Bu Shiyi launched another wave of attacks, but Old Bai remained in a purely defensive stance. The more she pressed, the more frustrated she became.
No matter how fierce or precise her strikes were, Old Bai seemed to absorb them effortlessly, like attacking a ball of soft cotton. Her moves, powerful as they seemed, had no impact.
Worse still, as time passed, Bu Shiyi realized something terrifying—her rhythm was no longer her own. Old Bai had subtly taken control of the battle. Every move she made was guided and countered, leaving her unable to retreat or even stop. She was being led to exhaustion.
"When is Old Bai going to attack? Why is he only defending?" Bu Lige asked as he watched the screen, his confusion evident.
Jiang Shengjun was equally puzzled. To them, it appeared as if Old Bai was being overwhelmed by Bu Shiyi's relentless assault.
But both knew that wasn't possible. Old Bai was a ninth rank of Pathseeker, while Bu Shiyi was still in the Soul Dominion realm. Even though their cultivation levels had been equalized by the arena, Old Bai's experience, precision, and awareness were leagues beyond hers.
Ji Wuhui chuckled softly at their confusion. "Your understanding is limited, so it's natural you can't see what's really happening. From the very beginning, Old Bai has controlled the entire flow of this fight.
"Bu Shiyi's attacks may seem aggressive, but she's already trapped in his rhythm. She's on a path she can't escape from. The battle is nearing its conclusion."
