Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhou Heng parried casually. An Lu's strength was formidable; every clash of force drove him back several steps. That was because Zhou Heng had not used any techniques, including runes. In a contest of pure strength, he was merely a dual-aspect Comet King.
But the Profound Heaven Camp was a gathering place for geniuses. Those able to enter were at least dual-aspect Comet Kings, while most were dual-aspect Comet Emperors—even peak Comet Emperors!
A pure contest of strength was absolutely Zhou Heng's weak point.
"Show me your true ability! Let me see what gives you the right to enter the camp!" An Lu roared without pause, his offensive unrelenting—swift as the wind, fierce as fire, his fists raining down on Zhou Heng.
Both his arms had completely dragonified, as though he wielded two indestructible weapons. If Zhou Heng were caught even once, his skin would split and blood would flow. There was no doubt about it.
After more than a dozen head-on clashes, Zhou Heng had gained a thorough understanding of An Lu's strength.
His physique and Spiritual Power were both at the Comet Emperor level, though neither had reached the peak—roughly the equivalent of fifty stars. Yet a dual-aspect Comet Emperor, coupled with dragonified arms, possessed enough destructive power to make the vast majority of peak Comet Emperors outside weep their eyes out!
Powerful! Extremely powerful!
Zhou Heng wondered where An Lu ranked in strength within the Profound Heaven Camp. Since he was the first gatekeeper of the "Ten Trials," he was certainly not among the camp's strongest. Otherwise, he would not have appeared first.
—The strongest would surely be the chief champion defending the arena!
Zhou Heng shook his right arm, dragonifying it as well. Now it was Spiritual Power against Spiritual Power, physique
