Guo Min hadn't expected Lin Suqing's objective to be that object, nor had he foreseen that the palm strike was not a careless one.
Once he knew the objective's location, it became easier to handle.
Lin Suqing discarded the vine in his hand and fought with his bare hands, no longer just dodging. At first, his dodging was not solely for concealing his strength, but also to feed the enemy's oversight. How else could he have caught him off guard?
Moreover, initially difficult to attack, the moment turned as the opponent switched from defense to a targeted offense. Guo Min, furious, exerted himself more vigorously than before but still had to guard against Lin Suqing probing for his Magic Artifact, displaying an agitated yet utmost carefulness, which made his weaknesses even more numerous and evident.
Masters rarely use magic arts in a duel because doing so could reveal their limits to the opponent, as well as the ceiling of their cultivation level.
