Lind was dripping in sweat and barely able to summon any Qi, but he could not spare a moment to recover as a spear came flying at him.
He almost felt like his body moved automatically but was just barely able to avoid the steel tip from cutting open his throat.
His sweat slicked hair felt like dead weight but he let it carry his body faster as he used his right hand to twist around even faster as Protean flared a broadsword blade at the last moment but then shattered as he thrust it out.
The azure scaled claw that closed over it left him hopeless but Lanbao smiled down at him.
"You lasted for nearly 4 days. That is a marked improvement." Lind had trained for most of his life controlling Qi and delving his professions but ever since the Relic that taught him Battlemaster Aura, he had felt like he needed to get stronger as a fighter.
