Lu Cang had never stopped thinking about the Source.
The Source gave rise to all things and all magic...
Flesh and blood could also be changed by magic, and they were the foundation of the body, the basis of strength and physical prowess.
Combat skills were techniques for pushing the body to its limits.
Could magic and combat skills really not be used together?
Magic power was already contained within the human body.
Magic, too, was controlled and released through one's own body.
If the Source gave rise to all things,
didn't that mean my body was itself part of magic?
Heart and body united, he grasped the essence of combat.
Kaijia was a formidable opponent.
Its combat skills were practically perfect.
Honestly, even after being killed by it again and again, Lu Cang still found the combat skills it used to kill him a pleasure to watch.
And in Lu Cang's eyes, bolstered by the Combat Intent known as Unconquerable Heart,
all of its techniques became nourishment for his own growth. He gained a great deal of insight from them.
It was thanks to this that Lu Cang could withstand more and more of its attacks with every exchange.
His command of magic was also improving rapidly in battle.
Still, compared to the Kaijia he faced now, he was far too slow.
Why was he so much slower?
Lu Cang didn't simply chalk it up to the strength of his opponent's body or its stats.
Instead, he seriously considered what made his opponent so powerful.
It caught up!
He blocked, and his defense shattered!
The longer the battle went on, the slower Kaijia's movements seemed in his eyes.
His thoughts were moving faster.
They were already moving so fast that even his magic power and spellcasting couldn't keep up.
