The fight escalated rapidly.
Xiao Ling attacked like a darting shadow, small but impossibly fast. Each movement was aimed at Meng Bai's vital points, her little spear always slipping through openings with frightening precision.
The spectators quickly changed from amused to alarmed.
"That is not a normal child…"
"Her killing intent just flashed for a second."
"She is using lethal techniques. What kind of girl is this?"
Lin Mu's group watched intently.
Cattaleya leaned forward with wide eyes. "Is she a monster disguised as a doll?"
Elyon's eyes narrowed as he examined her steps and the subtle rhythm in her attacks. Finally he spoke up.
"She is not simple at all."
Lin Mu glanced at him. "What do you see?"
Elyon lowered his voice. "She is using assassination arts. I recognize that flow and footwork. Those strikes are all meant to kill, not spar. Her movement technique is the Groundless Lurking Steps. Assassins use it to slip past perception."
Lin Mu's brows rose.
