In the rooftop swimming pool of Moonlight Palace, morning light streamed through the glazed dome.
The bottom of the pool was filled with barriers made of red light screens.
They would sometimes erupt into whirlpools, and other times solidify into stone.
Su An'an's pink fishtail shot forward like an arrow from a bow, letting her slide sideways past a swirling undercurrent.

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
The "challenge complete" tone suddenly sounded.
Su An'an broke the surface of the water, her long, wet hair clinging to her pale cheeks.
She swam to the edge of the pool and looked at Lan Cangming excitedly. "How long did it take this time?"
