"Foundation Establishment?" Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow. "I'm currently..."
Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao held out his palm toward him.

As the glow slowly faded, a round, dark-gold metal ring appeared in his hand.
Though perfectly round, the instant it appeared, Jiang Tian felt a needle-sharp pain across his face, as if countless invisible blades were hurtling toward him from the ring, their keen edge pressing in.
