Li Chen set out for Chen Yunlong's villa, his mind heavy with the weight of what was to come. The words echoed in his head - this would be his biggest battle, one that might claim his life. But Li Chen was determined; if he was going down, it wouldn't be without a fight.
As he approached the sprawling estate, he saw Chen Yunlong already waiting for him at the entrance. The old man's face was grave, his eyes sharp with urgency.
"Do you have the pages with you?" Chen Yunlong asked without preamble.
Li Chen nodded, patting his bag.
"Good," Chen Yunlong said. "Come in. We don't have time to waste."
They headed straight to the training room, a spacious area filled with various training equipment and ancient artifacts. Li Chen quickly changed into his training attire, ready to begin what he knew would be an intense session.
