Ning Rongrong challenged Dai Mubai and used her sword, a protective Soul Tool, and a handgun to overcome his attacks despite his higher soul power. As her shield withstood his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, Dai Mubai grew uneasy, while Tang San recognized similarities between her weapon and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
