Book 4: Chapter 14
The gong for the match sounded and I immediately sprung backwards, fortifying myself with [Steel Skin] and [Steel Core]. It was not a moment too soon as the coils of the dragon unwound like a tightly-packed spring, slapping me clear across the stadium.
The pain went straight through my bones and into my soul, the hit doubling as a disruptive technique as it shook my Flame. I bounced off the ground twice and ended up on my feet after a quick roll, but the Rhe Su Long was already charging at me with a follow up.
I was right to anticipate her aggression.
Driven by insult and rage, she was now a woman scorned.
Or a little girl scorned, anyway.
I laughed inwardly at that.
Seriously, what the hell man? I thought.
Rhe Su Long was one messed up chick, but I had to push all that aside to get my head into the game. I’d been preparing for a battle with a cultivator, but this was turning into more of a monster fight with that dragon.
And that was just fine with me.
