In his room in the pavilion, Chen Cang sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform like an old monk deep in meditation, his hands forming a cultivation hand seal.
Suddenly, his powerful aura withdrew entirely into his body. After a brief stillness, an even more formidable aura rippled outward.
His tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Releasing the hand seal, he spread his palms and flexed them. As he felt the strength that had grown greater than yesterday, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Seven stars-he was now a High-Rank Dou Ling!
Rising to stretch his limbs a little, Chen Cang had no interest in joining the excitement at the arena. He put away the Lotus Platform and went straight to the table to sit down.
Then he took a jade slip from his Storage Ring.
