The second team member from the South Courtyard immediately took the stage. This was a Martial Artist with a Life Energy Level of 20.2, slightly stronger than the first. He used a pair of Water-Splitting Needles, and his moves were agile and cunning.
The continuous battle had taken a heavy toll on Zhou Mingxuan, but his eyes remained resolute.
The two became entangled in a struggle, the muffled thuds of their Qi and Blood colliding echoing endlessly.
Zhou Mingxuan abandoned flashy moves, pushing his defense to the absolute limit. With each swing of his Short Halberd, he precisely parried his opponent's tricky attacks.
He was waiting—waiting for an opportunity to win with a single strike.
Finally, at the exact moment his opponent thrust out both needles in an attempt to forcefully break his defense, Zhou Mingxuan didn't dodge or evade. He met one needle head-on with his left arm. His sleeve was instantly shredded, drawing a streak of blood.
