Han Yu's eyes narrowed. That single clash told him enough.
Senior Brother Duan, however, spoke it aloud.
His lips curled into a faint smile as he shifted his stance. "Early Core Condensation realm," he assessed calmly. "This won't be a problem."
With that declaration, he moved.
The spear swept outward in a broad arc, a ripple of force riding its tip. The beast had no chance to stabilize. It was lifted off its feet, hurled back through the air as if struck by an invisible wave.
THUDD
It crashed against the far wall, its screech echoing painfully loud in the stone chamber.
Han Yu felt his heart thump in his chest. The ease with which Duan had repelled the beast was proof enough of his cultivation. He too had fought Core Condensation realm beasts, and unless he used his Bolt God Fist, there was no way he could send them flying like that.
