"Tremble!"
The arrogant Hela had misjudged the boy's strength. The contempt in her eyes vanished completely as they fought.
The activated Geo unleashed a powerful, spreading Shockwave. Hela had been fighting Lin Ze at close quarters, never expecting him to have another move ready.
Caught off guard by the Geo Shockwave, Hela was sent flying backward, unable to control her body. A raised Geo Barrier formed along the wave's outer edge, separating her from Lin Ze.
