Alex got into stance as golden light turned both of his hands into sharp animal-like claws. The tips of his fingers were now so sharp that he could dig them into stones and crush them from the inside.
Once both of the claws were set, he attacked Yao Jia. He dashed forward and got close to her. However, just before he reached her, he stopped and simply swiped high claws diagonally at her.
Yao Jia jumped backward to dodge the attack and then jumped forward to attack with her own claw. Alex brought his other hand from the side and attacked her claw with his own.
Yao Jia wasn't serious about the fight, so he could stop her attack without much effort. He then attacked with his other claw.
Yellow light flickered in front of him as a barrier appeared and blocked his attack. Alex didn't let that stop him, however. He retaliated with a barrage of claws that hit the barrier one after another, threatening to destroy it.
