"Oooooh!"
"Black Lotus has displayed astonishing combat power beyond her rank! Her slashes are dazzling and unpredictable!"
"Unfortunately, she simply cannot break through Abyss God's Limitless Defense!"
Commentator Zi Yue continued passionately narrating the battle.

No matter how hard she trained and cultivated herself, she had no way to deal with monsters built around mechanics.
Xia Yuan flashed behind her, his low, magnetic voice ghosting out from behind her once more.
"Fine. I won't defend from now on."
"If you so much as slash me once, I'll count it as my loss!"

"Eight Gates."
"Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder, open!"
"As long as you can withstand one punch from me, you win."
Blue vapor shot into the sky with overwhelming force.
Black Lotus's hairs instantly stood on end. An immense sense of danger
