The two sides exchanged blows, locked in a struggle indistinguishable in outcome.
Sun Guangyue wielded a long spear, its shadow casting myriad strikes, clashing with Sun Wukong.
His spear struck Sun Wukong from time to time, yet it seldom left a mark on his body.
This moved Sun Guangyue deeply; Sun Wukong's flesh was much stronger than he had anticipated.
He was certain that Sun Wukong's physical strength had not been this formidable before.
Which meant Sun Wukong had improved even more recently.
Sun Guangyue found it hard to believe—such a short time had passed, yet this monkey's pace of improvement was astoundingly fast.
He exerted himself to burst forth, trying to suppress Sun Wukong.
However, Sun Wukong didn't give him the slightest chance.
Mana surged throughout his body, growing ever more formidable.
Every swing of the Jingu Bang carried boundless magical power.
