Hao took a breath and lowered his stance slightly.
Then he went full tryhard mode.
He pulled at the core of his being, where the blazing solar qi churned, a furious miniature sun burning beneath his ribs. This time, he didn't hold back.
He didn't ration or measure it.
A massive surge began gathering in his dantian.
Not a modest chunk. Not even half.
Almost all of it, ninety, maybe ninety-five percent of his current solar qi, was yanked out of storage in just a few seconds. And considering how much his qi pool had grown lately… that was a terrifying amount.
Pressure built in his chest.
His skin prickled. Muscles tightened. Sweat beaded at his brow.
Immediately,
Sunblind Burst!
It didn't explode.
It expanded.
A blinding star emerged from within him, his entire body flaring in radiant gold.
But only for a second.
The moment that golden light shot out, it slammed against the Abyssal Veil Expansion as though a torch was thrown into an ocean of ink.
Fshhh!
It vanished.
