After Xiao Yan scared off the wolf king, his Dou Ling aura instantly dropped back to that of a two-star Dou Master.
"Hiss..."
He had not felt it earlier, but once Yao Lao withdrew his power, Xiao Yan immediately felt pain all over his body!
Not only that, he had already expended a great deal of Dou Qi earlier.
