About to Begin

"I will do my best," Lan Qing replied. "That way, I'll be content no matter how far I go."

Lan Jue remarked, "This doesn't sound like you. If you don't hurry up and continue progressing, I might catch up. I've been improving very fast lately."

Lan Qing shot him a look. "Don't get cocky."

Lan Jue chuckled. "In any case, you can't do anything to me right now. Even if I'm being cocky, you can't do anything about it."

He was right. Lan Qing could not do anything right now as he was on the verge of a breakthrough. If he tried to utilize his powers, he might lose control and have a breakthrough immediately. One needed to pick the right moment to break through, and it was best to do it when everything was in order. Hence, Lan Qing could not spar with Lan Jue now.

Lan Qing shot him a look. "I'll deal with you after I break through."
