"Bang, bang—!"
Ear-deafening sounds echoed through the sky as the enormous Lion flanking Junior Leopard tackled and grappled the yellow wolf. It seemed they wouldn't be separated anytime soon.
This was the first time that Junior Leopard fully unleashed the strength of the Lion. After releasing the Lion, he felt all his Internal Qi dry up. The Lion drained the Internal Qi in his body and from the External Elixir embedded between his eyebrows.
"That's suprising. Though my Internal Qi created this Lion, it has a powerful fighting force all its own. Where does its marvelous fighting techniques come from?"
At first, Junior Leopard thought the second or third states of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique would both be shaped by his Internal Qi practice once it reached a certain phase. In reality, these states were manifestations of his Internal Qi, so he needed more self-control to wield their strength.
