Leaving aside Lu Ye's torment, Dong Shuye was truly surprised that a single spell of his had failed to kill Lu Ye.
Only then did he realize Luo Ji had spoken the truth. This disciple from some unknown top-tier great sect could actually fight using Spiritual Patterns. Dong Shuye had seen with his own eyes the shield-shaped Spiritual Pattern flashing repeatedly on the other's body, blocking several fireballs.
No wonder even someone like Luo Ji had returned with his feathers clipped. When Luo Ji returned yesterday, Dong Shuye had inquired about the battle report. Learning that the man had lost, he had thought Luo Ji had not tried his best. Now it seemed he had wronged him.
