"Junior Brother Mu, run!"
Zhong Yi shouted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He had no doubt that without a reminder, the straightforward Mu Yawen would assume she had merely mistimed her barehanded disarm and get up to try again.
"Oh!"
Dazed from the fall, Mu Yawen scrambled awkwardly to her feet and prepared to flee.
"Trying to run?"
Chu Feiyu wore the smug look of a petty villain who had gotten his way.
With a spear in hand, taking on three unarmed brutes would be as easy as plucking something off a shelf.
Mu Yawen wanted to run.
But every spear strike locked her into an uncontrollable stagger, leaving her unable to escape.
"Blue spiritual energy, charged attacks..."
Standing some distance away, Zhong Yi carefully considered the way Mu Yawen had just been chased down, muttering to himself.
Before the blow that sent Mu Yawen flying, Chu Feiyu had visibly paused, blue spiritual energy gathering around his body. That was precisely the sign of a "charged attack" shown in the beginner tutorial.
When his body had no glow, the attacks he made were "normal attacks."
"Senior Brother, what are you mumbling about? I'm about to die!!"
Mu Yawen looked ready to cry. The spear stuck to her like glue, tormenting her beyond endurance, and her health bar had already lost more than half its length.
"Junior Brother Mu! When you see him glow blue, use Blade Vibration on him!"
Recalling the beginner tutorial, Zhong Yi shouted.
"Blade Vibration... Blade Vibration!?"
Mu Yawen's eyes lit up.
Only then did she remember the beginner tutorial teaching that when an opponent used a charged attack, Blade Vibration could knock their weapon out of their hands.
Just then, Chu Feiyu had finished four spear attacks, and his fifth was about to strike.
