Zhou Yan's body shook, dispelling the dust all over, as he suddenly rose from the giant pit.
Had it not been for the Seven Star Sword Formation summoned in an instant to protect his head and leveraging the enormous defensive power of the Green Lotus Spirit Lotus, this strike would have likely dealt him a heavy blow, despite his body's durability being comparable to that of a Lower Grade Spirit Sword.
This battle was the first in which Zhou Yan seemed somewhat embarrassed, but from the adversary's sudden deadly move, Zhou Yan realized one thing: even if the opponent was only at the Sword Spirit Third Layer Heaven, if they were a genius with combat power possibly nearing three times their actual realm, that was tantamount to facing a warrior at the Sword Soul Second Layer Heaven.
A genius was a special existence that surpassed ordinary cultivators; one must not only consider their realm but their potential as well!
