He took the compliment with a grain of salt, as knew interesting to her meant a challenge... and no one challenges Asura, especially on her battlefield. He smirked and tried his best to look confident as replied, "Why thank you. I offer the same to you. It's not often my enemies survive my mental blasts, yet it barely phased you."

He looked at his bo staff, the strongest metal he knew of had been easily pierced by Asura's daggers. Unless he let go of his weapon and showed weakness, he didn't know how he was going to get out of this deadlock. He quickly shifted his hands, preparing to spin the staff and disarm Asura. His muscles tensed, waiting for her to try and make the slightest move.
