Li Shun gazed at the tiny gnat resting in his palm. A subtle and mysterious sense of connection arose within him.
With a mere flicker of thought, the gnat shot into the air, its wings beating as it circled above.
Though its size remained unchanged, it carried an added liveliness. As its wings trembled, its speed surged to nearly ten times what it had been before.
Most importantly, after devouring the leaf of Lengshan Lord, it seemed to have developed a faint trace of chaotic intelligence.
Controlling it had also become far more effortless for Li Shun.
He released the gnat and let it circle once above Lengshan County. Watching its flight, Li Shun nodded in satisfaction.
