Xiyadie's Countermeasure (1)
Right after their greetings, the two contenders quickly transitioned to their battle stances.
Xiyadie was still using the same stance she'd been using since the last few matches, while her opponent casually grabbed the long spear from her back before holding it diagonally across her back, her hands stretched to hold the spear close to its butt and neck.

Neither of them said a word; they were only staring at each other. They were observing each small gesture, the adjustment in their poses, and the casual glances they sent. All these were important sources of information to predict what their opponent would do next.
*GOOOONNNNGGGGGG!*
And finally, the gong rang.
Xiyadie didn't wait, as a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous to her, who had a shorter range compared to a long spear. As such, she needed to end this fight before she got tired and showed openings, like Zhang Anhua's previous opponent.
