Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window lattice onto the bed. Li Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. The hangover-like exhaustion had vanished without a trace, replaced by abundant strength coursing through his body—the practical training with Tian Meng and the Ice Empress last night had been tiring, but it had made the circulation of his Soul Power increasingly refined.

Not to mention Xiong Jun, the Ten Thousand Monster
