Cai Die furrowed her brow, Ma Lu was much more difficult to deal with than she had anticipated. Despite his young age, he already excelled in several families' techniques.
Moreover, each one was trained fiercely. She wondered where he found the time.
Additionally, Cai Die hadn't forgotten that Ma Lu had a partner, that Divine Detective from the Iron Clothes Sect. Dragging out the battle would only put her at a greater disadvantage.
Ma Lu then played a Minor Eternal Spring Technique, increasing his True Qi by 6 points and simultaneously recovering the 4 Health Points he had lost earlier.
He then chose to end his turn, this time not even playing a Body Protection Card.
Since the moves from Torrential Rain Needle ignored parry, Ma Lu didn't bother wasting more True Qi.
Then it was Cai Die's turn again.
She first played a Stormy Skies, a familiar 3-point power, three-stage attack.
Immediately after, she played a Lightfoot Card—Utilizing the Favorable Wind.
