Meanwhile, Hu Tao's battle with Maguu Kenki was also nearing its end.
Yoimiya and Klee had already depleted most of Maguu Kenki's energy. The appearance of his doubles meant he had entered berserk mode, descending into his final frenzy. Either his opponent would die, or he would cease to function.
Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Hu Tao-and a Hu Tao shielded by Zhongli at that. With high attack, high defense, and resistance to interruption, she left Maguu Kenki with no choice but to take a beating. His attacks barely tickled her. How could he possibly win a battle like this?

Why did Miss Hu Tao dislike it instead? She really did not appreciate
