The Target Appears

After dealing with Hui Guang, Lu Chong had felt no great pressure at all. He had not even used half his strength—just a small test of the blade.

With his current strength, even among Great Sages at the peak of Perfection, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest.

Naturally, he had not refined that medium-grade Dao Seed. Instead, he brought it back near the Dao Stele with a face full of disappointment.
