One year later…
At the same place—the Blade-Testing Cliff—Lang Tian was no longer the boy he once was.
Through relentless daily training and consuming vast amounts of demonic beast flesh, his physique had transformed remarkably. He stood half a chǐ taller (15 cm), his muscles toned and balanced, radiating strength. His once-youthful face had shed its innocence, now strikingly handsome.
He stood still amidst heaven and earth, eyes closed, heart calm, sensing each breath of the world—not just its sounds, but also the subtle ripples of spiritual qi.
The Lotus Heart Sutra of Tranquil Dao, now at its second layer, Lotus Sprout Awakening, greatly enhanced the speed and stability of his true qi flow. More than that, it sharpened his perception, allowing him to pierce through dreamscapes and illusions or sense danger from afar.
And so…
A faint breeze brushed past.
Yet Lang Tian reacted instantly!
He spun around, unleashing a palm strike!
"Lotus Shadow Blooming Beneath the Moon!"
