Celestial Master Qiu Ling watched, astonished. "A fine idea. Simple, but practical—especially in battle."
Master Deng Guo praised him. "Long Qi has mastered this Original Treasure Formation inside and out. Using it so quickly shows not only how gifted he is at deciphering, but also how exceptional his control is."
