November, a sudden snowy day.
When Xu Yang entered the dojo, Xu Cheng had just evaded Tsuchigumo's fierce strike with a Blink Step, moving so swiftly that she skidded several steps on the ground before coming to a stop.
Xu Cheng was clad from head to toe in protective gear, and even though this hard plastic armor was worn, getting hit still hurt, so she exerted herself to dodge every blow.
As Tsuchigumo struck forward repeatedly, Xu Cheng, with a stick in each hand and two front legs working in concert, launched a pounce that brought a four-way assault, pressing Xu Cheng to retreat step by step until she was cornered against the wall.
"Got you now!" Tsuchigumo shouted, arching back like a bow full of tension, then her paired forelegs struck fiercely forward.
