Huang Yun finally stabilized his footing after being pushed back several steps. He exhaled slowly, and when he looked at Li Yun again, the earlier disdain in his eyes had completely vanished. In its place was a serious and cautious expression.
"Junior Brother Li Yun, I did not expect your strength to be this formidable. It seems I truly underestimated you earlier. That will not happen again," he said in a steady voice.
From that brief exchange alone, Huang Yun had already realized that the rumors circulating outside could not be trusted.
Even if Li Yun had only been measured as having one-star aptitude, he was far from ordinary. The strength he displayed was enough to make even someone at the peak of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm feel pressure.
Li Yun cupped his hands once again, a faint smile still on his face. "Senior Brother, please show me your full strength."
"Very well. Then take another move from me."
