A minute prior~
[These flames, it burns…]
Wang Ling could feel the rising temperature. His internal regulator could not keep up, the Holy Qi did not know how to manipulate something it did not create, "So you were, holding back against me earlier, after all!"
With a smile on his face, Wang Ling broke through the flames. His burnt marks, could not heal due to the flames' corroding effects. It hurt, it burns, yet he wanted more. The only way he could improve after a short time was if he fought someone and push him beyond limits.
Overjoyed, Wang Ling pushed through the flames against the pain he had not felt outside of playful banters and experiments. The thrill of a fight now echoed in his heart, and so, he brought out the last of his sword and swung it with impunity.
