Events of That Year

Lu Feng let out a long sigh. "Thinking back to that time, whether it was the Fierce Fire Horned Lizards I killed in this mountain hollow or the savage beasts I slaughtered beyond it, every step was a brush with death. From the very beginning, my plans had been built around fighting methods that could end in mutual destruction."

Bian Tianya asked curiously, "How strong were you back then?"
