Sun Wukong tightened his grip on the Jingu Bang, his entire body on alert, his fiery eyes and golden pupils stimulated to the utmost. The mirror version of Sun Wukong across from him was equally guarded, displaying an expression and posture that were an exact match to the real Sun Wukong. Could this be another showdown between the true and the fake Beautiful Monkey King?
Taking a deep breath, Wukong crouched and remained motionless, staring down his mirror image. Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent—no wind, no roar of wild beasts, even the air seemed to stagnate. This was a testament to both individuals' auras being heightened to the extreme, a common display in a contest between masters where the majority of the battle was a clash of auras. If you prevailed in the battle of auras, you could ride that momentum to crush your opponent swiftly.
