The Restrictive Pearl had a near-absolute grip over its target, imposing a devastating 50-60% power reduction, while leaving its caster with a mere 2% limitation.
Normally, this minor restriction would be negligible, but against a monster like Xiao Ming, even a 2% handicap could spell disaster.

He was an anomaly—a being who defied conventional suppression.

"Big Sister Mei, cast the domain! Little Snow, unleash the array!" Xiao Ming commanded sharply.
Zhou Mei and Xue Mao sprang into action. Zhou Mei's silver eyes flashed as her soul domain erupted.
The abyss of darkness surrounding them was instantly overlaid by a brilliant, silver-colored field.
