The battle instantly reached a fever pitch. The gap between the military and the Star City team became clear at once.
Thanks to Jiang Du's performance, the military had already gained the upper hand and seized control of the battle, completely disrupting the enemy's formation. All that remained was to surround and wipe them out.
Yet even that was proving difficult for the military's special forces. It wasn't that they lacked the ability. They were simply unfamiliar with fighting Awakened, which meant they could bring out only thirty or forty percent of their strength at best. Their coordination was also terrible.

As a result, what should have been a one-sided rout had turned into a stalemate.
If Han Jingjing's team had been here, they wouldn't have needed so many people. Just three to five top Awakened would have been enough to wipe out this bunch with ease.
Of course, despite the stalemate, the military still held a clear advantage overall. The special forces might have been inexperienced, but the military had two exceptional members of the Old Jiang Family, both of whom stood head and shoulders above the rest.
Jiang Du especially had been simmering with frustration on Panshi Ridge for so long that she was barely able to hold back anymore. She immediately unleashed her ultimate weapon, the Tiger Form Intent Talisman. The moment the Striped Giant Tiger appeared, it shattered the balance on the battlefield.

Apart from the remnants of Jiazi Camp who wandered into her reach and gave her the occasional reason to act, she hadn't even truly shown her strength.
It wasn't that she didn't
