While releasing a crazed laugh, Li Ying became the first person to barge into the cauldron.
Although it seemed brash on the surface, Li Ying's careful study of the cultivator he'd kicked inside earlier had given him an understanding of the pellet mist's properties.

Ghostly text adorned the armor, and the shoulders, knees, and forehead each had a terrifying spectral face. Since the armor was completely air-tight, he could use it to better withstand the fumes.
