Inside a secret chamber of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group.
Xiao Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands forming a strange seal before his chest. The Dou Qi within him circulated slowly, and a powerful aura radiated from his body.
Before long, Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed through their depths as he gently exhaled a breath of stale air, and his aura gradually settled.
"Helping the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group unite Desert City this time, I never expected my final battle with Zhu Yan to deepen my understanding of Cloud Crane Shadow."
Xiao Fan had not expected that, when he unleashed Cloud Crane Shadow in his final clash of Dou Techniques with Zhu Yan, the collision would give him a deeper understanding of the technique. It was quite a significant gain.
With Zhu Yan dead, the Flame Mercenary Group's tide had turned for good. They could not withstand the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group's strength at all, so Xiao Fan had returned early to digest his insights.
