Meanwhile, back at the dojo, things weren't looking too great either.
"Ngh… I can't… hold on any longer…" Elder Hua gritted her teeth as she held on to what was left of the demolished walls, praying to whatever god she believed in that this feeble piece of wood didn't get torn off.
Unfortunately, whatever she was praying, it clearly didn't work.
A crack appeared in the wall, and the chunk she was holding onto was torn off.
"AH-!"
Unable to resist the immensely powerful gravitational pull of the massive shock sphere, she was forced to turn around and stare death straight in the face, namely the field of high-speed debris she was about to crash into.
'Ah… how long has it been since I've felt true fear?
Am I really going to die at the hands of a young kid like this? My own student, no less?
… How pathetic.'
She was frustrated, but deep down, she accepted her fate. Closing her eyes tightly, a single tear flowed out of her eyes.
