Seeing the brilliant glimmer in his eyes, Teacher Xue knew his spirit was honed and focused to its absolute limit. He said gravely, "Chen, prepare yourself."

Just then, a scorching brilliance appeared before him. An even more intense radiance tore through the void, bursting in like a great sun and expanding with incredible speed, threatening to instantly engulf his small speck of light.
