The city was in chaos as the two combatants, Hyuna and Shaulin, stood in the middle of the street, ready to do battle. People were fleeing in all directions, but a few brave souls stayed to watch the spectacle. Hyuna was confident in her fighting abilities. She had been training with her brother, Johan, since she could walk. She took a deep breath and focused her energy into her water stream rock smashing attack. Shaulin, on the other hand, seemed calm and collected. He chose bloodlust as his tactic, which meant he would fight with all his cunning and strength. The two charged at each other, fists and feet flying. Hyuna tried to hit Shaulin with her water stream attack, but he was too fast. He dodged each strike with ease and landed a solid punch to her stomach. However, Hyuna had a high guard, so the punch didn't do too much damage. Hyuna retaliated with a kick to Shaulin's head. It connected, but he barely flinched. She was surprised by his toughness. He followed up with a flurry of punches, and although Hyuna tried to block, she couldn't keep up with his speed. She took several hits to her arms and face, but still managed to stay standing. Shaulin's attacks stopped abruptly, and Hyuna took the opportunity to catch her breath. She sensed something peculiar about him, something she couldn't quite put her finger on. After a few seconds of silence, Shaulin spoke. "You're good, but not good enough," he said in a cool and calm voice. Hyuna was surprised by his lack of anger or aggression. "What do you mean?" she asked. "You fight with skill, but I fight with something more," he said, his eyes flashing with intensity. Hyuna was confused. "What do you mean? What else do you have?" Shaulin grinned. "I have my domain," he said. Hyuna had heard of domains before. They were a rare and powerful skill that only a select few possessed. Shaulin's domain was afterlife, which meant he could control the world beyond death. Hyuna was skeptical. "How can you have your domain in a battle like this?" Shaulin laughed. "That's the beauty of it. No one has power or consciousness in the afterlife, except for me." Hyuna realized she was in trouble. Shaulin was not only a skilled fighter, but he had the advantage of his domain. They resumed their battle, and Hyuna tried to hit Shaulin with all her might. However, he seemed to be able to dodge everything. She wondered if he was using his domain to predict her moves. Suddenly, Shaulin disappeared. Hyuna was caught off guard, not knowing where to aim her attacks. Then, out of nowhere, he appeared behind her and landed a solid kick to her back. Hyuna's body crashed to the ground, the air knocked out of her. She tried to stand up, but it was too late. Shaulin unleashed his ultimate attack, a blast of energy that sent Hyuna flying several feet away. She landed in a heap, too injured to continue. The crowd went silent, shocked by the sudden end to the battle. Shaulin stood victorious, his cool demeanor never faltering. He walked over to Hyuna and looked down at her. "You fought well, but in the end, I was just too powerful." Hyuna knew she had been defeated, but she also knew that she had given it her all. She smiled weakly up at him. "You may have won, but I'll be back," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Shaulin nodded. "I have no doubt about that. You're a tough one, Hyuna. I'll be ready for you next time." And with that, Shaulin disappeared, leaving Hyuna to recover from her injuries and plan her next move.
