[You began reviewing your trump cards.]
[—Means capable of contending with the [Mysterious Dao Master] after he underwent ultimate ascension and became a [Half-Immortal].]
[At present, your main means of fighting above your level was [late bloomer].]

[Unless... you could kill him in a single blow, leaving him no time to undergo ultimate ascension.]
[For instance, the [I am the mastermind] you used during the Ninth Ordinary Simulation.]

[To hell with it.]
[You were truly exhausted.]
[You had only been here
