Madelyn had found Thea and called out to her.

The moment Thea turned around, Madelyn swiftly struck out with her palm.

Taken by surprise by the sudden attack, Thea quickly channeled her True Energy into her palms to defend herself.

Their palms collided.

An intense force swept toward Madelyn, pushing her several meters away. Her pretty face turned pale, and her arms felt rubbery.

She hid her hands behind her back and stared at Thea. After a few seconds, she chucked and walked over with a smile. “Wow, Thea. You’ve certainly surpassed my expectations.”

Thea’s face tensed up as she on as Madelyn approached her. She squinted her eyes. “Who are you?”

Madelyn said with a beguiling smile, “I’m from the Cadens. My name is Madelyn Caden. I heard Maxine speak of you before. She said you were a beauty who managed to become a grandmaster in a very short amount of time. I didn’t believe her and came to have a look for myself. Seeing you in person, you’re way better than she had described.”
