On the training grounds, a simple clash took place!
"Well, don't sell yourself short. I'm at the Seventh Rank, and I already used twenty... thirty percent of my strength. You did very well!"
Li Jie wanted to comfort Yang Tian, but once the words left his mouth, he realized they sounded a little off.
The main thing was that Yang Tian's defense was quite good. Even as a Seventh Rank expert, Li Jie needed to expend some strength and effort to break through it.
"I understand. I'll work hard on my cultivation!"

That idea was correct, but it was a little too extreme and overlooked the importance of skills.
Yet Yang Tian did not understand that at the time!

Yang Tian looked at the book, silently murmuring to himself.
Then his eyes widened!
"Gather light, unleash spiritual power and condense it into fire.
