“Hey, hey, hey, little Zhongzi, it’s not like my technique isn’t powerful. Mine is also very strong!” Le Shen protested indignantly.

“Fine, fine, both are powerful, okay? Now step aside; I need to cultivate this `Ten Thousand Beast Body Refining Technique’. I feel like I’m about to soar!” Finishing his words, Chen Wenzhong disregarded the indignant Le Shen, sat cross-legged on his bed, and began his cultivation.
