He even discovered that his strength had increased!
Infinite vitality surged from the depths of his soul! The power of "Infinite Qi" was further enhanced, and communication with the "Dark Sea" became more fluid!

He summoned the courage to walk out of the cave.
An overwhelming smell of blood greeted him.
