Xue Mei was not a weakling; that they already knew. She was rated to be on par with Ling Long to an extent, but she definitely was not equipped to handle both Dalvin and Ling Long, this was something they all knew.
However, given the outcome of her failing, she had to go all out regardless of the opposition's strength because, over her dead body, would she allow herself to be humiliated like that. The two parties entered a short standoff before Ling Long dramatically broke it by charging forth with her halberd, roaring as she swung it down with her full power.
Xue Mei huffed and manifested two blood-red kukri from her spatial ring and met Ling Long's blow head-on, countering it with surprising ease. This did not surprise Ling Long because Xue Mei was a Grandmaster of Martial Arts at the First Rotation!
