Capítulo 263: Warmth in Victory

"I will show you the power of a martial spirit that has reached the awakening level!" Hou Dian declared, his voice dripping with confidence. His grin was wicked, revealing sharp fangs that added to his menacing look. Standing at a towering 5 meters, his presence was undeniably terrifying.

The mysterious woman perched atop the grand staircase watched intently, her eyes alight with curiosity. "Ah, this just got a lot more intriguing," she remarked, her smile widening.

Trapped in this secluded place for what felt like an eternity, her memories of the world beyond had started to fade. Yet, she harbored no regrets for her isolation. She saw this as a necessary penance for her past sins.

Meanwhile, Alexia's concern deepened as she witnessed Hou Dian's transformation into a towering giant. Judging by any measure, a Flowing Qi realm cultivator would be no match for a Nascent Soul peak, especially one who was an imperial elite, undoubtedly honed by rigorous training.
