"Uh—!"
I've been hit.
The pain in the forehead struck by the long stick was splitting, the brain shook incessantly from the impact, the vision blurred for a moment, and there was a metallic smell in the nostrils. It wasn't an attack endured purposely to test one's limits, but an injury received due to being "overpowered" in battle. A confident skill was shattered by the enemy's "martial arts".
For the first time in a long while, the Ming Guest tasted pain in martial arts!
"Very well!"
