"What?"
Kagami Reiji clearly had not expected Luo Zhen to react so quickly, and his expression shifted slightly.
The Wood Talisman Luo Zhen had driven into the fissure absorbed the Water Qi that had yet to be suppressed by the Earth Qi, causing the Wood Qi to surge.

Wood overcame earth.

It was the Metal Talisman.
