Such surging battle intent—did he want to fight me?
Lu Cang looked up at the sky!
His gaze gradually grew serious and sharp.
A gale began to rise around him. He cast aside every distracting thought in his heart... and entered the zone in an instant, wholly focused on battle.
Whoosh!
The sword in the sky gradually twisted out of shape.
It became humanoid, his build strong and powerful. His upper body was bare, his skin bright white, and his muscles had an explosive beauty to them.
"In this world, the strong rule over the weak. Only battle goes on without end. The strong ascend to heaven, while the weak fall to dust!"
"Do you agree?"
Whoosh—
Bright white hair and blood-red eyes.
Those hair and eye colors were just like An Zheng's when he was young, and also like Sheng Yi, whom Lu Cang had once met.
And then there was that wild, haughty gaze.
In his eyes, Lu Cang recognized a feeling he had seen in Iz and the others: an invincibility that looked down on everyone.
It wasn't blind arrogance.
Nor was it the conceit of someone who'd never seen the world. It was something... a perfect confidence.
Just like how Iz believed he was the world's greatest mage... that same kind of invincibility.
There was even humility in that arrogance, as well as patience and compassion for the weak.
And this was still only Lu Cang's Level 5 Warrior Promotion Ritual.
"I... mostly agree."
He had never heard of a source manifesting a physical form and taking part in a promotion.
Although the other man hadn't yet said what he intended to do,
Lu Cang could easily guess... The man was brimming with powerful battle intent!
A figure like this had appeared during a Warrior's promotion.
