I could feel Master Li's wariness as he looked at Alyssara. However, he knew just how outmatched he was now that Alyssara revealed her strength.

The kind of power that made even High Immortals look like children playing with sticks. Even the legendary Martial King would barely edge out a win against her, and Master Li was nowhere near that level.
Yet I saw no fear in his eyes—only calculation, determination, and the quiet resolve of a man who had faced impossible odds before.
"I chose correct?" I asked as Alyssara's eyes met mine, that unnerving familiarity passing between us like a current.
