Bai had also recently opted to wear weighed clothing alongside her weight accessories. She figured that if Atreus was as strong as he was, she would do well to follow a training regimen similar to his, and that's exactly what she did. Both of the weights on her person left her a bit encumbered, but she wanted to get stronger, and saw this as a fast way to do so.

A small smile came onto her face as Atreus walked into sight, the girl giving him a bow in greeting. She found it hard to not be happy when he was around, but as much as she wanted to spend time with him, she had called him here for a reason. They could spend time together afterwards.

The monk listened to him speak, her smile fading as she switched to a more combat-oriented mindset. Though she had no problems adapting to her eyes so far, it was still a completely new sense that could very well take time to use in actual combat. She only hoped that wasn't the case; it'd be like learning a new language or training to walk, and that would take far more time than she could afford.

She merely nodded at his words, "Understood, Atreus." She said to him, entering her combat stance. Or rather, she stomped into it, like she had been trained to do so. Southern Dragon Kung Fu was hard and external, at least in practice.

She flew towards him, eyes already onto where she'd strike. Her finger and thumb came up to his eyes, hoping to blind him for an open palm strike onto his solar plexus.

After the strike, she'd leave her hand there and charge up a ki blast that she quickly fired at point blank range, the girl letting herself skid backwards to create distance and hopefully avoid a counterattack.

Though Bai had improved slightly, it still wasn't enough to get a bead on Atreus. The man was far too fast and agile, especially considering his size. She pursed her lips in frustration as she felt her fingers pinch the air, already knowing that her next attack would miss, which it did. Fortunately for her, the ki blast had launched her away from the danger zone.

Despite these efforts, Atreus was quick to close the distance on her with alarming speed, snapping a quick punch towards her torso. However, it seemed that his tempo had been off, as she had time to barely dodge the punch by sidestepping. The girl prepared herself for the next attack, it coming in the form of a point-blank ki blast. She gritted her teeth as she disappeared into a blur, using her ki to grant her the speed necessary to dodge the attack, appearing behind him in hopes of attacking. Atreus was ahead of her, though, quickly circling behind her to land a kick to her back.

The girl staggered forward, but abruptly stopped and turned around, attempting to grab his leg and slam him to the ground. Whether or not this succeeded, her ki would suddenly flare in a show of black and white that leaked from her like crazy. Her usually blue eyes also had red rings in them, her aura emanating a contrast of yin vs yang.

Then she attacked. If he was on the ground, she'd jump up and go for a vicious knee drop straight onto his chest, ki flaring around her and focusing on her knee. Otherwise, she'd become even more engulfed in the aura and charge at him, her ki vaguely forming the shape of a blade as she attempted to crash into him for as much damage as possible.

A small look of satisfaction occupied her face as she slammed Atreus onto the ground. Somewhere in the back of her mind, the thought of taking pleasure in beating someone like that was abhorrent, but she was too filled with adrenaline to care. The lust for battle had taken her over once again, and it was clear she would pull no punches. Not that she needed to, considering the gap in strength.

Unfortunately, the second attack did not land, the girl hitting naught but the ground as the man let off a ki beam to get out of the way. The attack formed a sizeable crater in the ground as a pillar of black and white energy violently erupted for a few moments before vanishing, the girl on her feet as the red rings in her eyes as well as the black and white aura disappeared.

And the man was already on her. Widening her eyes, the girl moved in a blur to dodge the attack, using ki to assist in getting out of the way. Unfortunately, the second attack did hit her, sending Bai high up into the air for him to hit with his ki blast.

However, she recovered sooner than he might've expected. She saw the ki blast coming, and rather than dodge it, decided to power up and retaliate with an attack of her own. She once again glowed that black and white aura before launching a large black and white ball of ki straight at him, engulfing his own ki blast on the way. Though this usually wouldn't be possible Atreus was far from using his full strength.

After that, she went for a fast dropkick from the air, hoping to ground him for further attack.

If there was one thing that was to note about Bai, it was that she was highly competitive. She could not bear to see someone else outshine her, and it gave her motivation to train hard and become strong. She felt quite envious when Cipher showed up twice as strong as when she last met her, and she thought that if the saiyan could do it, so could she.

This was part of the reason she had been fighting harder than normal. She did not want to be left behind, she did not want to be protected. She wanted to be a part of the fight alongside Atreus and the others, and she'd do anything to accomplish that goal. It was why she trained hard.

She frowned as Atreus moved out of the way of both attacks, though she supposed she should've expected this. This was Atreus, after all. He wouldn't be brought down by something like that, especially not from someone as weak as her. Still, she would endeavour to land at least one other hit.

But Atreus was on the offence once again. She was surprised his A.I. assistant thing had a protocol for her. The spheres went towards her, followed quickly by Atreus launching several ki blasts in her direction.

She gritted her teeth, but then she instinctively swayed back and forth in a pendulum motion, dodging all the ki blasts thrown in her direction. At the same time, she formed afterimages with her movements to confuse the spheres and make them all miss.

Then she disappeared, having left an afterimage to hopefully distract Atreus as she came from his right, powered up with the black and white ki once again. She aimed for the back of his ear, the attack causing a black and white beam to be released from his fist and hitting his whole head.

One interesting thing to note about this aura was that it wasn't completely balanced. Sometimes,the red rings grew larger and brighter as her ki became more black and sinister. Other times, her ki became whiter, the blue in her eyes taking prominence. It was as if she was making an active effort to keep balance.

The world truly is a sight to behold.

Bai was honestly quite proud of herself to have been able to avoid all those attacks. Her heart swelled with happiness as Atreus complimented, the girl clearly quite happy as she heard him say those words to her. She couldn't help it; receiving praise from Atreus always made her happy for some reason.

Regardless, they were still fighting, and this meant that she needed to focus. Atreus was using his A.I. assistant again, and she needed to be on guard for another one of those barrages. Sure enough, Atreus was on her, firing rubber bullets at the girl with tremendous speed. As he did so, the nanite spheres were firing at her once again. This barrage would normally be impossible to dodge, but she took power from her inner reserves and instincts, letting her body move for her as she gracefully swayed back and forth.

And then he attacked, and he did the same, until one last hit landed on her. It launched her backwards, but she managed to recover on her feet. The attack had still dealt significant damage, though.

Still, she wasn't finished. Not by a long shot. With speed she didn't know she had, the girl powered up and attacked, the black and white ki making a vicious comeback as she attacked. She charged up two big energy balls in her hands and attacked the ground below Atreus, resulting in a big explosion. She did not realise she'd probably damage the temple in the process.
