"... He's even more impressive than I imagined."
Hu Long shook his head ruefully, watching as the exchange between Ryker and Ding Yan grew ever more intense. Was this really the kind of power someone only 3 years older than him could have?
"Brother Hu Long, I can't see what's happening! Who's winning?" Cui Feng said from beside him, her eyes darting back and forth as she struggled to keep up with the action. Indeed, even someone in Foundation Establishment would have been hard pressed to keep up, let alone Cui Feng in the Qi Gathering realm.
"Ding Yan," Hu Long said, arms crossed, "But only by a margin. Still, it goes to show how big the gap between them is since he's only using the Ding Family Spear Arts."
The single technique rule in a duel went for auxiliary techniques such as movement and perception arts, as well. To be able to keep a slight advantage even when Ryker wasn't limited in options was a testament to Ding Yan's power and skill.
