Like a phantom, the Thriving One appeared out of nowhere, suddenly resting his sharp chin on Li Aozi's shoulder, a bird-like mask with a large green eye rotating rapidly as he spoke cheerfully:
"To counter such power, a simple anti-gravity system is all it takes; you can no longer do as you please like before."
Such speed—how high must its Dexterity attribute be?!
Li Aozi quickly activated [Iterative Movement] to widen the gap, and just a moment before he teleported, he could faintly see the Thriving One accelerating alongside him.
