I Saw Proficiency and Became a Legend

Then he pointed toward the endless glacier and let out a long cry. "That is Sword Intent!"

"Good! Now that those nuisances are gone, we can spar!"

Standing on the glacier, Dongze raised his head. His voice carried far across the ice and into Momousagi's ears.
