At the first faint light of dawn, someone had already begun her training for the day.
"Hah!"
At the edge of the forest, a massive tree crashed to the ground amid a sharp cry. A distinct palm print marked its broken trunk, with rings of charred black traces surrounding it.

Back in the Dark Forest, Xun'er
