With the battle coming to an end, Lin Dong took a deep breath, as if wind and thunder were rumbling in his chest, a sign that the power within him was nearly exhausted.
The fierce fight with Xue Chen and Macaron, particularly using the incredibly powerful "Sword Two," had nearly drained him of all his inner qi and willpower.
At the moment, he was like an old tree battered by a violent storm; though it still stood tall, its roots were damaged, and it was on the verge of collapse.
"It seems that although Sword Two is powerful enough to match a Secondary Ancestor's strike, such power means that the inner qi needed after using it is also immense."
"With my current strength, using Sword Two is really too much for me."
"Heavenly Realm Martial Artists of the Second Heaven can only use it once! And the consumption not only involves inner qi but also mental and willpower."
If it were purely inner qi, Deadwood Dan could be used for replenishment.
