The first encounter between Zhao Tiezhu and Xie Mingxin ended at one in the morning.

His heartbeat thundered—a sound like ten thousand drums, capable of shaking mountains and rivers. Tendrils of vital blood, brimming with immense energy, coursed through his entire body, rapidly elevating his cultivation.
