It wasn't that the Guard Captain's attack was incredibly surprising, but Li Yao felt his spiritual power had grown.
You see, Li Yao's spiritual power training methods had basically become ineffective.
Previously, Li Yao could control many balls for training, but now he could control even more; however, this was already meaningless.
Li Yao had been exploring new training methods without any success. He even started to study meditation techniques from ancient gods, but with no clear path, and of course, his access to ancient god materials was limited too.
Of course, Li Yao was very aware that his control even surpassed many world-class bosses of ancient gods, knowing that finding new methods would not be easy.
However, having just used Soul Extraction, he felt a slight increase in his spiritual power. Although his heart was in turmoil, his actions didn't stop.
Li Yao's figure drifted backwards, as the Guard Captain had already launched a charge.
