On the field.
It's a given that injuries are inevitable in a competition. If one fears injury, then what's the point of fighting at all? It's not her fault. If anyone's to blame, it's Qiao Sang for sending out Binglu Qia, knowing they would lose... Zhang Xueming found herself frozen amidst the commotion surrounding her.
No matter how strong she tried to act, the natural reaction of her body ultimately betrayed her.
Zhang Xueming was still a child, after all. Even though she was much steadier than her peers, she was still young and had never encountered a situation like this before.
She felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, yet she also wondered if she had been too harsh on their endangered Pet Beast on their own turf. Should she have held back and let them land a couple of hits first?
These conflicting thoughts tugged at her, preventing her from feeling the joy of victory.
On the other side, Lubao lay covered in wounds, unmoving.
