Dylan's eyebrows shot up as he felt a sudden fluctuation of energy behind him. The sensation was so subtle that even Seraphine, a sensory-type awakened soul cultivator at the peak of the Soul Fusion Realm, would have missed it.
Acting on instinct, Dylan swiftly turned around and raised his arms in a cross formation, bracing for impact as Evan's foot came hurtling towards him.
Bam!
The force of the impact sent Dylan skidding back ten meters, but he managed to keep his balance and quickly regained his footing, preparing himself for Evan's next move. He knew he couldn't afford to let his guard down, not even for a moment, as Evan was a formidable opponent who could strike from anywhere like a freaking ghost!
"Not bad," Dylan grinned, impressed by Evan's skill. "You nearly caught me off guard there."
Evan smiled superficially, his eyes narrowing as he regarded Dylan coolly.
