Thud! Thud! Thud! Szz!
Leo's spear was viciously entangled with Cheon Chang's, both spears were surrounded by sinister black sparks, but neither of them yielded to the other.
It had already been over a year since Leo started training in the Black Dragon's Transformation and his mastery of the Black Dragon Energy had subsequently increased. Unfortunately, just like him, his opponent wasn't static either. The Absolute Spear had the ability to perfectly mirror Leo's progress, making it feel as if he was battling his own clone that vastly surpassed him in experience.
'It's okay…'
At times, such a battle was extremely frustrating even for the usually calm Leo. It was a battle that he could neither win nor lose. As if stuck in an eternal loop, Leo's effort appeared to be meaningless. Even the Personal Book that gave him confidence in progress seemed useless as he approached the higher end of the slope. However, Leo barely managed to keep his mind intact.
'I can feel it.'
