At this moment, Wang Zhan, who had originally believed he possessed sufficient strength and power to face any hardship before him, felt his eyes sting as if pierced by the light emanating from the Old Man.
He understood. This wasn't just some dazzling light; it was the manifestation of the Old Man's own power—incredibly potent!
In other words, just as Wang Zhan had somewhat suspected, the Old Man had never shown his true strength before him. Instead, he had always concealed it, like a formidable hunter patiently waiting for his prey.
So, when the Old Man had finally traversed the wilderness and arrived in Quan State, one of the Southwest states—this battlefield of his own choosing—he, for the first time in front of Wang Zhan, fully revealed the formidable strength he had kept hidden. He was a Martial Artist countless times more formidable than an ordinary Martial Emperor, or even an exceptionally talented individual like Wang Zhan!
