Inside the Earth Fire Chamber, it took Zhao Zuo a great deal of effort to finally set Liu Heng's mind at ease.
After Liu Heng left, Zhao Zuo turned up the temperature of the Earth Fire Furnace. The Huayang Bead within his Dantian was passively activated, beginning to temper his entire body with an even more vigorous energy.
Unfortunately, he found it difficult to keep his mind calm. So, he simply stood his ground and began to ponder how to increase his odds of victory. This was a matter he had to think through carefully.
'First, just how much does a Demon Cultivator's combat strength exceed that of a normal Cultivator?'
'Second, if a Demon Cultivator's combat strength is far greater than a normal Cultivator's, how should I respond? If the poison isn't as effective as I hope, what other methods can I use to strengthen myself?'
'Third, if this goes sideways for the two of us, how can we retreat safely?'
