Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 328 – Wang Zhou's Prowess

A strong burst of battle intent appeared in Lu Ping's eyes. His electrifying courage and spirit influenced Qiao Wei-Ying and the others, making them just as high-spirited as him; Qiao Zheng-Yan and the other clan heads even forgot to blame Lu Ping for his presumption.
