Xu Lang's First Madness Skill and the Unusual Rise in Sanity

A night passed.

That night, Xu Lang focused on just two things.

Deep sleep and fusing madness skills.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Nightmare Apostles, he had accumulated more Nightmare Essence and freed up a few Fusion attempts.
