Serika's grin only widened. "You heard me right. My retainer was in the True Foundation realm, and an expert combatant at that. But this kid? He kept up and nearly won!"
Now, even Nalai was intrigued, stopping her tea sipping. "A Core Formation cultivator nearly overcoming a full realm gap… that's exceptional. Still, there are rare cases of monstrous talents like that."
Serika wagged a finger. "Ah-ah, I'm not done yet. You know why he could overcome the gap?"
Nalai narrowed her eyes, thinking. It didn't take more than a single second for her to come to a conclusion. "He utilized a monstrous combat style?"
Serika leaned back into her seat with a self-satisfied smirk. "You're right on the money, sis. Awesome thinking, as always. It was indeed because he was using a rather peculiar martial style. One that hasn't been seen in a very long time."
That earned a slow, curious eyebrow raise from the queen.
Serika's grin turned devilish.
