Even though Lu Tianzi seemed to have spoken with much confidence, he still did not dare to let down his guard even for a single moment.
The speed at which Chengban had approached him earlier was something that had far exceeded his expectations, such that it had left a deep impression on him.
It was a burst of speed that Lu Tianzi would never be able to pull off himself without activating his beastial bloodline transformation, yet Chengban seemed to have done so with absolute ease.
On top of that, Chengban's sword slash was unexpectedly heavy as well.
Back at Bog Town, Lu Tianzi managed to withstand the Dongran couple's Dual Sword Requiem. This was a combat technique which they claimed would give them the strength equivalent to that of a Sixth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist.
That was what gave Lu Tianzi the confidence to challenge Chengban.
