Another day passed.
Ling Han suddenly opened his eyes, a pleased smile turning up at the corners of his lips. He drew his sword and lowered the blade in a slash at his extended left hand.
If anyone had seen such a thing, they would definitely think he was committing self-mutilation, but after a while longer, they'd definitely be shocked to the point that their eyeballs were in danger of popping out of their heads, for as this slash encountered his hand, it did not leave a single scratch on his skin. The only proof of what he had done was a white line on his hand.
'Indeed, my defense has improved by a considerable amount,' Ling Han nodded. Although he had not poured Origin Power into that strike just now, he had also not used Origin Power to strengthen his defense. He had depended entirely on his physique's innate defense--without any external aid.
He increased the power of the strike, and simultaneously began to circulate the Indestructible Heaven Scroll.
[1] ED/N: I forgot whether I mentioned it yet or not (I may have just as well stuck to one thing thus far, but both are used too often for me to keep doing so), but "ruler" and "king" appear interchangeably, so don't be confused coz they refer to the same thing (a demonic beast or a cultivator who exceeds others with the same cultivation).
