As soon as they crossed swords, Ash felt extremely uncomfortable.
It wasn't because his Blood Seed was continuously pumping his life energy into his opponent, nor was it because Silver Lamp's combat power far surpassed his own.
In fact, after a day of trial rewards, Ash's physical condition had rapidly improved. Even though he still couldn't match the might of Silver Lamp with silver dragon blood, the gap wasn't so large that Silver Lamp could simply trample him.
What made him uncomfortable was that Silver Lamp shared a similar level of 'senses' with him.
Sweet words and a hidden dagger clashed with Chain Gloves, emitting a harsh, piercing sound. In that instant, Ash keenly sensed Silver Lamp's subsequent moves, but Silver Lamp also perceived the various changes in his sword strike. Both their predictions reached the ultimate step, and then it was the clash of swords once again!
