As soon as she finished speaking, Rapunzel suddenly turned to Bai Baoshan. "Commissioner Bai, please send a burst of Soul Power at me. The intensity... should be roughly equivalent to a Soul Elder's full-force attack."
Bai Baoshan froze for a moment, then immediately understood Rapunzel's intention.
He adjusted his glasses, an interested smile appearing on his face. "All right. Let's see the power of your Light of Mirror Lake."
He raised his right hand and extended his index finger. A pale cyan beam of Soul Power instantly condensed and shot toward the mirrored barrier before Rapunzel.
The beam was incredibly fast, slicing through the air with a whistling sound. Its power had indeed been controlled to the level of a Soul Elder.
Just as the beam was about to strike the barrier—
Another change occurred.
The foremost mirror shard suddenly blazed brightly and precisely met the beam of Soul Power.
There was no violent collision.
The instant the pale cyan beam touched the mirror, it was as though it had struck some slick, curved surface, and its trajectory twisted in a bizarre deflection!
The beam had been refracted!
At an angle equal to its original angle of incidence, it shot diagonally toward another corner of the office, finally striking a blank wall and leaving behind a shallow dent.
Meanwhile, the mirrored barrier before Rapunzel remained completely unmoved.

Bai Baoshan was stunned as well. Although he had held back the force of that strike, its speed and angle had been quite tricky. Yet it had been neutralized so effortlessly?
"It does more than refract them," Rapunzel said.
With another thought, the hovering mirror shards slowly began to rotate, their formation shifting from an arc into a complex polyhedral
