As she felt Emperor Stuart's strength press her hand against the table in her first moment of weakness, Adrina realized that Minos would not allow her to win this challenge easily.
Physical strength was not the focus of mermaids. Even at level 91, their strength was equivalent to that of a level 90 mermen and would be equal to that of a maximum level nine-tailed fox. Therefore, even without raising his cultivation to level 85, Minos had a chance to fight with this mermaid after attacking her with Dragon's Eye.
But the mermaid's focus was on the mental part. Even though the Dragon's Gaze attack could significantly destabilize Demigods of her level, Adrina felt less dizzy than a human of her level or stronger than she would have felt in that situation.
If Forrest had received that mental attack from Minos, he would have lost the arm wrestling match, even though he was stronger in level than that mermaid!
