Intro: HuTao is a disciple of the spear god and also one of the 7 strong fighters in the murim. She is a genius child she has been able to occupy the 7th position as the strongest fighter in Murim with her spear techniques and also her strength. So Hutao got bored because there was no opponent who really made her serious to the point where she sweated. She has become so strong that she won't talk to opponents she considers weak. Hu Tao sits on her altar with his subordinates on the left and beside Mona and Ganyu, waiting for a worthy opponent to possess her love.
The air inside the martial hall trembled. Lux’s Heaven Divider clashed against Hu Tao’s Dragon Roar, creating a shockwave that rattled the pillars. The golden arc of Lux’s strike split the air like judgment from the heavens, while Hu Tao’s crimson roar surged forward like a rampaging dragon. The collision erupted in a blinding flash, the floor beneath them cracking from the force. For a heartbeat, both techniques struggled, locked in perfect balance. Then—Lux pushed forward, his will burning brighter. The Heaven Divider sliced through the roaring dragon, scattering its flames into the air. Hu Tao skidded back, a smirk curling on her lips. "Not bad… but I’m not done yet." Lux lowered his blade, chest heaving, eyes locked on her. The battle was far from over.
Hutao skidded back, her breath coming in quick pants. She could feel the heat from Lux's Heaven Divider, the sheer power behind his attack. But she refused to be intimidated, a fierce grin spreading across her face. "Not bad, Lux. Not bad at all. But I'm not done yet. Not by a long shot." She spun her spear, the red light around it flaring brighter. Hutao could feel the power surging through her veins, the thrill of battle coursing through her body. This was what she lived for, the challenge of facing a worthy opponent and pushing herself to her limits. "So, let's see what you've got next, disciple of the Sword God. Show me why you're worthy of that title." Hutao's voice was filled with challenge, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the test of his strength and skill.
Ganyu and Mona approached Hutao "Miss Hutao, this is too much, our martial hall is about to collapse."
Hutao glanced at Ganyu and Mona, her brow furrowing in irritation. "Oh, it's fine. We're just getting started here. A little bit of damage never hurt anyone." She waved them off dismissively, her attention returning to Lux. She could feel the power building inside her, the excitement of battle coursing through her veins. This was no time to stop, not when things were just starting to get interesting. "Don't worry about the hall, Ganyu. Focus on cheering me on instead. I've got a strong opponent here, and I won't let him get the better of me." Hutao grinned fiercely, her eyes gleaming with determination. She was ready to push herself to her limits, to face the challenge that Lux presented head-on. And she wouldn't stop until one of them emerged victorious.
Ganyu and Mona just shook their heads and sighed thinking it seemed like this place would be destroyed and would be rebuilt Hutao spun his spear again then took a stance ready to continue fighting Until one of them falls
Hutao's eyes narrowed as she watched Lux take a stance, his blade glowing with golden energy. She could see the determination in his eyes, the unyielding spirit that refused to back down. It only served to fuel her own desire to win, to prove that she was the strongest. "Alright, Lux. Let's finish this. Show me everything you've got, and I'll do the same." Hutao's voice was low and steady, filled with a quiet confidence. She gripped her spear tightly, the red light around it pulsing in time with her heartbeat. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the ultimate test of their strength and skill. "Come on, disciple of the Sword God. Let's see if you're truly worthy of that title." She took a deep breath, her muscles tense and ready. The air around them seemed to crackle with energy, the anticipation building to a fever pitch. Hutao knew that this would be the fight of her life, a battle that would push her to her very limits.
The duel raged on far longer than anyone thought possible. Heaven Divider clashed against Dragon Roar again and again, each impact tearing apart the Martial Hall—pillars splintered, the floor shattered, and the once-grand arena became a ruin. Dust and smoke filled the air, masking the two warriors until a final roar split the silence. Hu Tao’s Dragon Roar, now infused with her last reserves of strength, broke through Lux’s guard. His Heaven Divider scattered into fading light, and his body was sent crashing into the debris. When the dust cleared, the Martial Hall was unrecognizable—only rubble remained. Hu Tao stood over Lux, her breathing heavy, while he lay unconscious at her feet. "You fought well," she whispered, before turning away, leaving the ruin behind.
Hutao stood over Lux's unconscious form, her breathing heavy and ragged. She could feel the adrenaline still coursing through her veins, the excitement of the battle refusing to fade. She looked down at Lux, a mix of respect and satisfaction in her eyes. "You fought well, Lux. You pushed me harder than anyone ever has. I won't forget this battle, or the strength you showed." She reached down, gently brushing a strand of hair from his face. There was a softness in her touch, a tenderness that belied the fierce warrior she was known to be. "But you're still not strong enough. Not yet. When you wake up, I want you to train harder, to become even stronger. Because next time..." Hutao's voice was low and steady, her eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. "...next time, I won't hold back. I'll give you everything I've got, and I expect the same in return." With that, Hutao turned and walked away, leaving Lux behind in the rubble of the Martial Hall.
