The battle began with a loud declaration from the announcer. However, unlike previous battles fought on this same stage, neither combatant moved from their original spot. Instead, calmly, the man - Xiao Zhan - took a seat on the platform.
"Please, sit down. No need to be so anxious - my attack hasn't begun yet."
Ling Long, his opponent, held skepticism in her eyes, but she cautiously sat down anyway.
"Now then… are you ready?" the man asked, resting his chin on his two hands as he sat in a cross-legged position.
The woman closed her eyes. "Go ahead. No matter what you try, after ten seconds, you will be the loser. Not once have I ever been affected by psychological attacks of any kind - you have sealed your own fate."
