Miss Victoria stomped hard on the deck, causing the bow to seemingly dip downward as she shot forward at high speed, like a meteor headed straight for Cesar.
Then, with one hand extended and clenched into a fist, Victoria's skin crystallized at a visible rate, soon covered in gleaming diamonds.
Finally, Victoria aimed her fist at Cesar with a rainbow-like momentum and struck out.
Cesar raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, but his expression changed little as he spread his arms, conjuring a blue energy shield before his chest to meet Victoria's punch.
When Victoria's diamond fist hit the shield, it shattered with a "crash" and continued unabated, striking directly at Cesar's solar plexus.
Cesar frowned and leaped up from the tortoise's back, soaring into the air to dodge the blow.
"The first round," Victoria called out, undeterred, and swung her fist at Ze Xi again with even greater ferocity.
Cesar pointed at the air, and a new energy shield appeared, this time purple in color.
