In the ten or so days that followed, having taken away a fair amount of experience from the fight against Brandon, Lou Cheng kept a low profile. Even during weekends, he abstained from seeking out martial artists or powerful spirit cultivators for "Qie Cuo (sparring)" sessions. Instead, he mulled over questions concerning the fight and pinpointed his own imperfections.
Among which, his self-created "Lament of the Ice Queen" was still a distance away from meeting the requirements of actual combat. Had he not completely suppressed Brandon at that time, it was very likely that he wouldn't have be able to execute it in time. He had to experiment further and make modifications to perfect it.
