Shark Tooth Armament

Ba Ta Li was the first to face Bai Pu.

Ba Ta Li had always favored "asymmetric combat." With high Strength and Agility, he used mobile tactics against power-focused experts like those of Mount Tai Sect, while against agile opponents, he crushed them head-on with sheer strength.

The trick of finding teammates to fake-fight before a BOSS battle and stack layers was difficult to pull off—if Bai Pu deliberately held back, or if his attacks were parried or blocked by teammates, then no effective damage was dealt, and Final Breath
