For Zhou Muxi, who had previously defined this power as burst-like, admitting she had underestimated its scope seemed petty. A normal burst of force would typically dissipate after one or two occurrences, yet here was a burst output measured in minutes—a continuous, normalized power, she surmised.
This realization terrified her even more. After all, if she could only withstand this normalized ability for a couple of instances before meeting her demise, what was the point in fighting? Facing such adversaries would likely result in a quick, unclear death within seconds.
Thus, while confronting such a formidable and insane Awakened, Zhou Muxi tried her best to feign calm, simultaneously absorbing Yin Qi and cultivating while distractingly monitoring the other's movements until they left. Only then did she dare open her eyes.
