"However, I will not hold back. Now, draw your sword and prepare to face my attack."
"A word of caution: I am completely different from the guardians of the previous five levels. If you face me with the same mentality as before, you will surely lose."
"Now, the battle begins."
After the elder spoke, a long staff appeared in his hand, and a dense aura surged around him.
Faintly, the air behind him began to tremble, with energies gathering around him, forming a ring of intense light.
The next moment, the elder pointed the long staff forward, and flames burst forth from it like a fire dragon charging at Cao Zhen.
Behind the elder, the ring rose up, with flashes of lightning converging faintly within it.
Cao Zhen, watching the approaching flames, swung his sharp sword in front of him, instantly dispersing the flames entirely.
In previous battles against others outside, he had held back his strength.
