Although Murong Xue's combat strength was only at the early stage of 15 stars, falling short of Edi Carmen's late-stage 16 stars, the gap in combat strength was nearly two full stars.
However, Murong Xue possessed an extraordinarily potent special defensive ability. Even with such a significant difference in combat strength, she could usually hold her ground for some time.
Yet, the situation on the stage was different at this moment. Under Edi Carmen's relentless assault, Murong Xue was steadily retreating.
At this rate, it seemed that Murong Xue would be defeated shortly, and Edi Carmen wouldn't have to expend much stamina and energy.
Huang Yuan remarked, "This is strange. What's happening to Murong Xue today? Why can't she hold her own?"
Lu Dajiang chimed in, saying, "It doesn't make sense. In previous battles, even when I was at my peak, it took me a long time to penetrate Murong Xue's defense."
