The Fight With Valen (2)

Valen was furious, but his attacks did not get sloppy because of it. The man might be conceited, but he did have power. Valen knew as well that he was not in good enough condition to defeat Xiao Lin in his Ruin state, but if he waited for Xiao Lin's explosive power to run out, then Valen's victory would lose its greatest sense of accomplishment.

Valen took a deep breath, suddenly calming himself, but his rage did not subside. He stayed on alert against Xiao Lin's attacks while saying, "You were somewhat correct earlier; I'm not at my perfect state. Even if I did gather up enough energy, I would still not have been able to reveal my true abilities. Do you know what you're facing?"

"You sure speak a lot of nonsense!" 

Valen continued, "You're actually very lucky--not many can witness this ancient form. This is the most basic form of life in Planet Norma. I threw countless years into this before I obtained this power. This will mark a new rise of the dark races."
