Upon hearing his master's praise, Tang San's eyes grew somewhat fervent.
Over the past five years, he and Xiao Wu had studied and trained in Heaven Dou Imperial City, encountering all manner of geniuses and powerful figures. He had also come to understand more deeply just how terrifying his own talent truly was.
