The sudden golden light gave Pan Yu and Pan Shi a fright. Yang An was no exception.
He had only wanted to test whether the spiritual essence he had absorbed could be used to cast his techniques, but the result far exceeded his expectations. Its power was astounding.
Yang An quickly dispersed the golden light. When he looked at Pan Yu and Pan Shi, both of them were staring blankly at him, still shaken to the core.
